Chapter 745: Interview
Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations
In modern society, internet users came from various backgrounds, and most of the trolls were actually hired by competitors.
After the Mei Corporation’s stage accident became a hot topic, various companies started to intervene, secretly hiring trolls to escalate the situation.
However, Mei Corporation remained silent after the initial statement released by the PR team on the official account, stating that they were investigating the incident.
This kind of neglect immediately aroused dissatisfaction among internet users, who began to criticize the Mei Corporation for their arrogance and poor quality.
The company’s stock price continued to decline, and even the fans of the dancers started to boycott the Mei Corporation.
Causing such a huge stir, it was obvious that simply replying with a few statements from the official account wouldn’t calm things down. Even if Mei Shu personally apologized, it would likely only attract more criticism and intensify the backlash.
Mei Shu glanced through the comments in the lounge and singled out a few leading accounts, instructing Tang Mei to investigate the people behind them.
Soon, the identities of several individuals spreading negative messages were uncovered.
Mei Shu waved her hand and sent out legal letters one by one, calculating the amount they would receive in compensation. She looked at Tang Mei with a smile. “Now you don’t have to worry about the impact on profits from ordering a new batch of machines. Just this compensation alone will fill our coffers.”
Tang Mei hadn’t expected that this incident would expose so many people with malicious intentions towards the Mei Corporation. She carefully organized every useful piece of evidence. “If this kind of thing happens every month, our company won’t even need to take on other business. We could support all our employees with just this.”
Mei Shu chuckled and playfully tapped Tang Mei’s forehead. “You’re dreaming.”
Blushing, Tang Mei covered her head with her hands. “Miss Mei, I was just joking. But after this incident, many people will know about the Mei Corporation and about you!”
“That’s exactly what I want.”
Mei Shu had long been dissatisfied with the Mei Corporation’s lack of recognition in the city. She wanted to use this opportunity to remove the label of just being “Lu Si’s girlfriend.”
She wanted everyone to know her abilities, so that in the future, they would address her as President Mei, not just as Lu Si’s girlfriend.
The competition on stage had reached its climax, finally entering the award presentation phase.
Lin He lived up to expectations and won the championship. She was immediately taken away by the national team’s dance teacher. Ruan Ning, who came second, and Meng Yan, who came third, were only considered as substitutes, becoming extraneous dancers for the national team.
When standing on the podium, Lin He felt as if she were in a dream.
When she was with Zhou Nan before, she never dared to imagine that one day she would stand on such a big stage, performing her favorite dance and achieving the ideal ranking.
And all of this was because she met Mei Shu.
When giving her acceptance speech, Lin He’s voice choked with emotion.
Ruan Ning calmly held the medal as a backdrop.
Meng Yan, on the other hand, was furious.
Everything Lin He now possessed should have been hers!
But now, the one standing in the spotlight and becoming the center of attention was the kind of person she despised the most: a piece of second-hand goods!
How could she accept this!
Mei Shu observed the expressions of the dancers in the VIP seats clearly. Seeing this scene, she nudged Tang Mei teasingly. “Take a picture of her, remember to get a close-up shot. It might come in handy later.”
“Okay!” Tang Mei took out her phone and deliberately changed the angle to take a clear picture. In the photo, Meng Yan’s eyes were full of undisguised envy and resentment. If this woman dared to harm Miss Lin in the future, this photo would be perfect for stirring up public opinion.
According to the competition schedule, the next stage would be the Q&A session with reporters, where all contestants could be interviewed.
Lin He was immediately surrounded by a group of people as soon as she stepped off the stage. After all, her performance had left a deep impression, and who wouldn’t want to stay up to date and dig up exclusive scoops?
Compared to her, Ruan Ning and Meng Yan were much quieter.
Ruan Ning, due to arrangements from her family, had hired several reporters specifically for interviews to maintain a good image.
As for Meng Yan, she was in a more unfortunate situation. Although her dance had some highlights, compared to Lin He’s performance, it was only average. The reporters who interviewed her had originally wanted to cover Lin He’s side but chose her when they couldn’t get close to Lin He.
In comparison, Meng Yan had lost thoroughly.
“Miss Meng Yan, how do you view Miss Lin He’s performance just now?”
This question from the reporter hit the mark.
Meng Yan smoothed her hair elegantly, raising her chin gracefully. “Not very impressive. I believe dance should showcase a dancer’s basic skills and unique insights into the art. While Lin He may have shown creativity, I don’t think her performance just now can be called dance.”
“And it seems her basic skills are not very solid. If you look into her past, you’ll see that she’s just an amateur trying to win a prize by unconventional means.”
Her answer would undoubtedly become big news. Many reporters who were interviewing other contestants heard this and quickly turned their cameras to her. “From what you’re saying, it seems like you and Miss Lin don’t have a very good relationship in private.”
