"Manager Gu, that post is pure slander, but these people are so cunning that they can't even sue without mentioning the program team or Ning Chaoyan's trainee name." Director Wu was also helpless. He immediately consulted the legal department, but unfortunately the answer he got was not what he wanted. "But don't worry, we will definitely cooperate with Zeyi Entertainment and issue a clarification announcement."

Gu Wei could understand Director Wu's feelings, of course. After all, this trending search involved not only Ning Chaoyan, but also Director Wu of the program group. "Director Wu, you have seen the trend online. An announcement with just a few words alone will definitely not convince people. We still have to find a way in."

When Director Wu heard what Gu Wei said, he was a savvy person who had been in the entertainment industry for many years. He immediately responded, "Manager Gu, do you have any advice?"

Gu Wei did not keep the secret. After all, the negative trending search was still going on, and it was the critical moment when the first round of voting was about to end. The sooner the problem was resolved, the better. "Director Wu, someone mentioned the incident of Yanyan changing clothes in that post. You and I are both aware of the situation. The video at that time also clearly recorded the communication between the program staff and the trainees of Group A of "Longing", and the stained clothes were also captured on camera. The program crew also recorded the entire process when Yanyan asked her family for help."

Seeing that Director Wu was silent on the other end of the phone, Gu Wei knew that he understood what he meant, so he struck while the iron was hot and said, "Director Wu, this incident not only affects our Yanyan, but also greatly damages the reputation of the program team. Can a talent show that is suspected of being rigged maintain its current upward trend? The person behind the scenes is not only targeting our Yanyan, but also the program team, and Director Wu. We can use this dyed dress as an entry point, and at the same time issue a clarification announcement and release the practice room footage. Taking multiple measures can also increase the popularity of the program. What do you think?"

Director Wu was silent for a while on the other end of the phone before he spoke, "Manager Gu, I'll consider your suggestion first. I'll discuss it with the program team and contact you and Zeyi Entertainment later, okay?"

"Of course." Gu Wei agreed immediately. Since Director Wu was willing to consider it and said he would contact her later, the possibility of his agreement was very high. After all, this was the best solution she could think of at the moment, and she believed that the people in the program crew could also see the pros and cons clearly.

In the program group's meeting room, Director Wu gathered a group of trusted program group staff, all of whom were brothers who had worked with him for a long time and had experienced ups and downs together, and told them Gu Wei's suggestions.

The program crew also had a good discussion about it.

The assistant director said, "This method is possible. It can divert the public's focus and conflicts." He paused and continued, "But if this happens, the production team will definitely be criticized again. They will say that our management is chaotic and we can't even take good care of the contestants' costumes."

Some staff members didn't take it seriously. "Being criticized for poor management is better than what's being said now. Now people are saying that our program received benefits from Zeyi Entertainment and treated people differently. This is really damaging our reputation."

Some staff members were also worried, "Won't someone watch our show with a microscope? They'll start a campaign to find the costume destroyers or something like that."

Someone immediately retorted, "We have an online variety show. If he wants to watch it over and over again, then let him watch it. It can also increase the number of views and popularity. If he can really help us find the bug, it will be a stroke of genius and a good thing."

"Yes, we didn't really collect any money, nor did we give special treatment to anyone. It's fair and just. Why would we be afraid of him seeing it?" someone echoed.

"I think..." Director Wu was about to express his opinion when he was interrupted by a phone ring. He frowned and looked at the screen of his mobile phone. After seeing the caller ID, he relaxed his brows and immediately signaled everyone in the meeting room to be quiet.

"Hello, Secretary Li. I wonder what you are calling me about?" Director Wu softened his tone.

Secretary Li, who was just a tool, faced the burning gaze of his boss and communicated with Director Wu, "Hello, Director Wu. I'm sorry for calling you without your permission."

“No, no, you’re welcome.” Director Wu had already guessed what Secretary Li called about. It was simply about the trending search. However, this kind of thing could usually be handled by Zeyi Entertainment. How could it alarm Zeyi Group?

Secretary Li spoke gently, "It's like this. The hot search on the Internet was seen by our group's senior management. Our group invested in your program, and every penny was paid from the public account. There was absolutely no private transaction or suspected bribery. Now these comments on the Internet, our group's senior management unanimously believes that they have greatly damaged our group's image in front of the public. I hope that Director Wu can cooperate with our group's Zeyi Entertainment as soon as possible to clarify the rumors."

Director Wu felt a chill run down his spine when he saw Secretary Li elevate the incident to the level of damaging the public image of Zeyi Group in just a few words. He broke out in a cold sweat and repeatedly assured, "Don't worry, we will cooperate and resolve it immediately."

"Thank you for your help, Director Wu. I'll wait for your good news." After Secretary Li hung up the phone, he closed the door and left Mu Bin's office only after seeing his boss nod. He couldn't help but secretly complained that he was so stuffy just chasing a star.

Since the last performance, Mu Bin's various unusual behaviors have completely shattered Secretary Li's image of his boss as a cold and ruthless nobleman. However, he also feels that Mu Bin is more down-to-earth and more like a living person, and it is not as burdensome to get along with him.

After all, he is no longer an ordinary secretary, but a secretary who knows the boss's little secrets.

On the other side of the program team, Director Wu gritted his teeth and made a decision, "Just do as Gu Wei said, contact the public relations department of Zeyi Entertainment, tell them we agree, and discuss with them how to proceed."

Zeyi Entertainment and the program team acted quickly and launched a series of well-reasoned and well-founded responses. Apart from a few criticisms of the program team's backstage management, public opinion was indeed moving in a good direction as expected.

The original black entries lost popularity and dropped out of the hot search list, and were replaced by entries such as "Ning Chaoyan's performance clothes were damaged". Leeuwenhoeks all went out to find out the truth.

Ning Chaoyan's fans, who knew that their idol had been wronged, suffered an unexpected disaster, had his performance clothes damaged and were subjected to rumors, held their breath and used the mobile phones of their aunts and uncles to vote, vowing to wash away their grievances and let their idol sit firmly in the C position.
