"What about the Public Relations department, didn’t the company’s PR department notice it?"
She realized that Hongtu’s Public Relations department was really too idle, just like a decoration.
However, this couldn’t be blamed on them for not doing anything; it was simply that Hongtu’s performance had been too poor previously, not having even one presentable celebrity. Not even the flies would bother to fly here, let alone scandals arise.
And though she had many scandals, they were all too severe for the PR department to handle.
It was Xu Jiayang and Xia Shi who were dealing with them.
Resulting in the PR department being in name only and practically non-existent.
Yet, even being in name only, they shouldn’t have missed such a huge scandal, should they?
Leng Yan touched his nose, "Um... because I had been purchasing cyber troops before, so I ordered the PR department to ignore any rumors about you during this period..."
Great, a classic case of miscommunication.
Just then, her email made a ’ding’ sound, an alert notifying her of an email from Yang Li.
Xia Weibao frowned, Yang Li was Lu Hualiang’s assistant and they did not have any work-related interactions, why would he send her an email?
Upon opening it, she broke out into a cold sweat.
The document was actually the evidence of Leng Yan buying cyber troops to smear her in that video!
It included the IP addresses of the dummy accounts and the bank transfer records!
Xia Weibao’s back grew cold, if this evidence were released online, the storm it would unleash was unthinkable!
She was an artist of Hongtu, yet the president of Hongtu personally set out to smear her, what did that imply?
And the most important point was that for the video she had been preparing to use for her big reveal, her advantage lay in the fact that Empire Entertainment had intentionally tried to kill her career.
So at the time the scandal broke, they did no PR at all.
They also blocked her Weibo account, preventing her from posting any statements to explain.
In other words, no one had explained the original video at all, neither confirming nor denying it.
Therefore, she still had ample operational room.
If Leng Yan was to smear that video, all her subsequent plans would be ruined!
While Xia Weibao was panicking, she received a phone call from Yang Li.
"Madam, did you receive the email I just sent you?"
"I did, Assistant Yang, did you find this information?"
"No, Madam, do you remember the Weibo marketing account called Entertainment Big Event V, the one that the master purchased last time to help clarify your scandal?"
"I remember," Xia Weibao responded.
Entertainment Big Event V was the number one marketing account on Weibo with sixty million followers, an authority among marketing accounts!
Who on Weibo didn’t know that?
On the phone, Yang Li’s voice was a bit stern, "Actually, that marketing account is at the bottom rung of the Lu Corporation, last time I personally contacted them to help clear your name.
Then this morning someone approached them, wanting them to publish this information to smear you.
They probably guessed that I knew you and didn’t want to offend me, so they sent the information to me instead.
Rest assured, all the evidence has already been intercepted, and additionally, I had someone hack the cyber troop accounts that Leng Yan purchased, wiping all traces clean, including the bank transfer information.
Absolutely no one will be able to find out about it, as for the copy in the hands of the person who leaked it, since we can’t find out who did it, we couldn’t wipe it clean.
However, Madam, rest assured, if anyone else comes out publicly with it, you can sue them for fabricating evidence and defamation."
Xia Weibao let out a sigh of relief, luckily the interception was timely, otherwise once it was published, there would truly be no chance for her to turn things around.
