Chapter 619 – Using And Ruining
"Why were you hurt by her rejection? You were not expecting to be rejected because of the money you had?" The interviewer asked.
"No, not that. We felt bad because of the new businesses that must have been insulted in that way. New business rises every time because of the hard work put into it, so it"s wrong for someone to get up and talk down on them simply because the business is new, and because she has influence."
LIXX representative used that opportunity to say whatever bad things against Fu Meixu"s response to them, in other to ruin her image and make her the target of cyberbullying.
This interview was done in the morning, but the evening of the same day, the part where Fu Meixu was talked about, was already trending with the captions…
"Meixu insults new businesses"
"Meixu doesn"t accept to promote new businesses."
There were so many more damaging captions attached to the video, and immediately, people started talking.
Many people were annoyed with Fu Meixu"s comment saying that if she didn"t want to collaborate with any new business, she should have rejected it outright, instead of talking bad about them.
Others said she must be feeling proud of herself because of the wealthy family she came from, and also her status as an A-list celebrity in the country.
Everyone had their opinion concerning Fu Meixu"s response.
It was only a few people who found something wrong with what was happening and even mentioned it.
"Why do I feel like this new company is using Fu Meixu to trend and create awareness for their products?"
"I also feel the same way, because this interview has made them more popular, and made so many people pay attention to them."
No matter if they were right, it didn"t matter because many people were already following the trend Alix planned.
When Meixu saw what was going on, she was so p.i.s.sed and very angry. When she went to her company to ask them to settle the matter immediately, their thoughts aligned with the few people who found something to be wrong with that interview.
"These shameless people have a bad motive. They are using my name to draw attention and indirectly promote their business!" Meixu said angrily.
"We also think the same, and the internet is on fire because of it, we can"t do much now other than to prepare for a lawsuit against them. You have to go back home, don"t respond or comment on that post, you have to be quiet and wait for us to contact you."
Not long after reporters surrounded the building her agency was located in, so she couldn"t get out, but fortunately, someone came to her rescue.
s.h.i.+ Qiao approached her agency and took her out through another entrance. Now in his car, Meixu couldn"t stop speaking angrily about LIXX.
"Are these people crazy for using me and trying to ruin my image at the same time? They have really messed with the wrong person!"
s.h.i.+ Qiao advised her with a frown, "Meixu, I know you are angry about the whole situation, but you have to listen to your agency"s director. You can"t do anything, or it will backfire on you, allow them to handle LIXX."
"If I don"t do anything, the matter will be worse because staying silent means I"m admitting it, and that will ruin my image further, and also help them to promote their products. See, they are going to launch their products in the next 48 hours!" Meixu said angrily.
She was so p.i.s.sed off by the situation. Had it been they were only trying to ruin her image, it would not have been difficult for her to endure it, but using her name to promote their products and company image, while also trying to ruin her image was something she couldn"t accept.
They were stepping on her real hard that she wanted to retaliate so badly.
"I"m sure your agency will take care of it before the matter escalates. Better still, your family will take care of it, have you forgotten how influential your family is?" s.h.i.+ Qiao said as he tries to give her hope for redemption.
Fu Meixu thought of something and said, "That"s right, I will call my cousin immediately, I just hope he wouldn"t think I deserve this trouble that came upon me."
As Meixu said that, she quickly whipped out her phone from her handbag, and just then, Fu Hua had seen the mess on the internet, was calling her.
"It"s my cousin!" Meixu said with a little hope in her tone and went ahead to answer the call, as believed her cousin would save her once he stepped into the matter.
"Brother Hua?" Meixu greeted before Fu Hua could say anything.
Fu Hua replied in a calm tone, "I see LIXX attacking you, don"t do anything about it, just come home. If you are stuck somewhere, give me your location, I will come to pick you up myself."
Fu Meixu was so touched by her cousin"s gesture that she immediately became teary. This was the first time, Fu Hua was being this kind to her. He could have asked someone to come to pick her up, but he wanted to pick her up personally, that was the kindest gesture exhibited by him to her.
The reason Fu Hua was getting involved personally, was because he knew the person behind LIXX and because he has been quiet about it, Alix now thought she could create an opportunity and extort any member of his family, that was not going to happen.
"A friend picked me up, and I am on my way home." Fu Meixu replied in a soft tone.
"That"s fine. LIXX is looking for attention, allow them to get it, it"s even better this way, so I can give them a fatal blow. I promise, you only have to endure this for 30 hours." Fu Hua a.s.sured her.
Fu Meixu nodded and thanked him.
"I have also spoken to your agency, they can go ahead and prepare the lawsuit, immediately I start dealing with LIXX, they can go ahead and file the lawsuit."
