When the assistant heard this, she immediately posted a response through her private account. The accompanying picture was a photo of Jiang Zhi coming out of the loan company.
“This matter is clearly Jiang Zhi’s fault for being poor and wanting to extort our artiste! Even she has to rely on borrowing money to live! I hope that Star Glory will pick a better manager and not hire any staff with bad records! Fans, don’t be angry. Our sister Lu is talking based on sales!”
The direct insult was picked out by Jiang Lu’s fans and quickly spread.
The fans in the entertainment industry had changed from spectators to opposing armies, taking this opportunity to attack managers and publicity teams.
Jiang Zhi sat in the office, tapping her temples with her fingers. The corners of her lips curled up into a mocking smile. She copied the audio recording from that day from the USB drive. She did not leave out any bit and directly posted it to her official account.
The recording was very specific about the scene from that day, including how Jiang Lu had provoked Jiang Zhi and Wu Dai.
“I didn’t expect Jiang Lu to be this rude and feisty in private. If I were in her place, I would have made a bet with her!
“Pretending to be a little white rabbit in front of the camera, looking very innocent, but acting like a big shot behind the scenes!
“It seems that Jiang Lu deliberately started this. If we don’t know the truth, let’s not accuse the good people!”
The public opinion on the Internet changed again. Jiang Lu never expected such retaliation. She was so angry that she broke a few bottles and cosmetics and lipstick in the dressing room…
The woman in the mirror had a twisted expression of jealousy and hatred. It was as if her original appearance could not be seen!
With the solid evidence in front of her, Jiang Lu could not make a fuss anymore. She could only have her assistant shift the fans’ attention to the sales of the two brands!
“Aren’t we going to bet on the sales volume? Let’s do it then!”
Jiang Lu’s assistant secretly sent a few autographed photos to her head fans to give them some benefits. She even promised them that they could hold a one-on-one fan meeting with Jiang Lu in private.
After the head fans received the benefits, they immediately used their influence to spread the word that the sales volume of the “Nascent” brand was much better than that of “Vitality”!
Once again, the fans followed mindlessly and ran to the “Vitality” official account to vent their anger…
“The taste of Vitality is simply unbearable! I bought it twice and threw it directly into the trash can!”
“The children of my relatives drank Vitality’s milk and suffered from diarrhea for a few days before they finally recovered after receiving an infusion at the hospital!”
“No one should buy it. The quality of Vitality’s products is horrible!”
Such discussions directly affected Vitality’s sales and reputation. The brand’s sales this quarter not only struggled, but even the stock price had dropped by a few percentage points.
The high-level discussions within the Vitality brand group seemed to circle around replacing Wu Dai in order to appease the anger of Jiang Lu’s fans.
Previously, during the shooting of the advertisement, Jiang Zhi had exchanged contact information with the department manager of the Vitality Brand and maintained close communication.
When the department manager received the news, the first thing he did was hide in the bathroom and make a call to Jiang Zhi.
“Hello? Jiang Zhi, you have to think of a way as soon as possible. We can’t take this anymore. It’s said that the headquarters has sent a person-in-charge to personally hold us accountable… I’ve sent you his information and the news of his flight. You will know when he sets foot in town!”
“See if you can convince him. If it doesn’t work, I’m afraid Wu Dai might have to be released!”
Jiang Zhi expressed her gratitude to the department manager’s kind reminder and flipped through the desk calendar on her desk.
According to her memories from her previous life, there was still a week before a consumer would send in their report and the relevant departments would investigate the milk brand.
If she could hold on for these seven days, this would be a turn for the better!
She frowned and grabbed the coat hanging on the back of the chair. Seeing that the person-in-charge of the Vitality headquarters had already landed, she planned to go to their group to test the waters.
Jiang Zhi was just about to leave when Lu Mian came up to her. He raised his eyebrows and used his hand to block her way, asking, “Where are you going?”
His long body leaned over, and he hugged Jiang Zhi into his arms like a spoiled child.
Jiang Zhi lifted her watch and looked at the time. She pushed him anxiously and walked towards the elevator. “I have something important to do.”
Lu Mian squeezed into the elevator with her. Looking at the rapidly decreasing red number, he insisted, “Finding the person in charge of Vitality? I’ll go with you…”
Jiang Zhi narrowed her eyes. She knew that even if she refused, Lu Mian would think of a way to follow her, so she could only agree.
In the meeting room on the top floor of Vitality Corporation, Jiang Zhi sat on the sofa. She held her teacup nervously and stared blankly at the rising steam.
The door was pushed open from the outside. A voice that was mixed with anger said, “What kind of lousy artiste would bring so much trouble! Back then, I told you to spend more money and hire some good and famous celebrity!”
The head of the brand from the capital glanced at Jiang Zhi with disdain.. The moment his gaze landed on Lu Mian’s face, his expression changed drastically!
