"I’m going to use your computer, get up."
Seeing that Fu Siyu didn’t believe him, Fu Yang went straight over and pulled on Fu Siyu’s arm.
Fu Siyu also wanted to know what kind of trick Fu Yang was planning, so he stood up, allowing Fu Yang to take his place, "Don’t touch anything in there."
"Got it, go out now."
Fu Yang didn’t stay in the study for long, about the time it took to drink a cup of tea, then he emerged from the study.
Fu Siyu entered the study and checked both the room and computer but noticed nothing changed.
He was somewhat puzzled, but at that moment, Qin Lv’s call came through, so Fu Siyu stopped dwelling on it and continued with his work.
After Qin Lv had finished reporting on work, he suddenly remembered something, "Mr. Fu, there are some negative comments about you online, do you want them deleted?"
"No need, let them be."
Only the weak need to care about others’ opinions, before meeting Shu Wan, Fu Siyu hardly ever read the news, nor did he pay attention to the so-called entertainment circle.
After all, the news available to the general public is usually the kind that holds no substantial value.
And the entertainment circle is nothing more than a gift box wrapped by capital; as a capitalist, Fu Siyu is not interested in these carefully packaged products.
Naturally, he also doesn’t care about what others think of him.
Qin Lv, having worked with Fu Siyu for many years, certainly understood his habits.
But the situation was somewhat special now, "But the madam does like browsing the internet."
As expected by Qin Lv, upon hearing this, Fu Siyu stopped signing documents, "What are they saying about me online?"
"If you have time, you can check the internet yourself."
Qin Lv couldn’t very well say that the internet was calling him a scumbag.
"I understand," replied Fu Siyu, "Let’s continue with the earlier marketing strategy."
By the time Fu Siyu finished his work, it was already late at night.
Remembering what Qin Lv had said earlier, Fu Siyu opened the news to take a glance and then saw the overwhelming comments calling him a scumbag.
Previously, to put pressure on Fu Siyu, the Fu Mansion actually purchased a lot of smear articles against him in the country.
Fu Siyu felt indifferent to these things, but this time, seeing the word ’scumbag’ did make him rather displeased.
And the source of this appraisal was because of that female reporter, Fang Yuan.
After all, society is still swayed by personal relationships.
Even though Fang Yuan never explicitly stated she had a relationship with Fu Siyu, with that suit and the rumor spreading as ’Three men make a tiger’, people speculated that she had an ambiguous relationship with Fu Siyu.
Regardless of the truth, many real resources were now leaning towards Fang Yuan.
She received news coverage that wasn’t meant for her, and interviews not meant for her hands as well.
The more it happened, the more convinced people were that Fang Yuan had Fu Siyu backing her.
And Fang Yuan, tasting the benefits, naturally intensified her hints and suggestive actions.
Now, the whole internet was buzzing with gossip.
Knowing that the rumors stemmed from the suit, Fu Siyu rarely went onto his account to post an update.
"My clothes are all specially tailored, with a dark line on the edge of the cuffs."
The picture accompanying the post showed a row of suits in the wardrobe, where, from a special angle, one could see the dark line on the edge of every cuff.
Once this update was posted, some people were puzzled, but most understood that he was responding to the rumors online.
It was also thanks to Fang Yuan’s display of that suit everywhere, leaving photos from various angles, and even the cuffs were clearly shown.
Comparing the two sets of photos, ah, indeed, the suit Fang Yuan wore had no dark line.
Moreover, upon closer inspection, the suits in Fu Siyu’s wardrobe obviously seemed to be of better quality.
At this moment, a top international designer also debunked the rumor on a foreign social media platform by posting a picture of the suit Fang Yuan was wearing, clarifying, "This is not a piece I designed."
With that, all the clever implications constructed by Fang Yuan were rendered useless.
Seeing Fu Siyu refute the rumors personally, Fang Yuan quickly followed up with an update of her own, "I apologize for any inconvenience caused to Mr. Fu. I have always clarified the rumors to people I know. The suit I wore simply resembled Mr. Fu’s and I ask everyone not to overinterpret it."
[Isn’t this a bit like trying to appear innocent after causing trouble? Who was it that hinted and tried to link herself to Fu Siyu during the interview, and now when there’s trouble, she shifts the blame to the netizens?]
