In the evening, Li Mu came home from get off work and happened to meet Andy, who had also come home from work.
Li Mu smiled and greeted: "Andy, it's time to get off work."
Andy smiled and said: "Yes, you are off work too."
Li Mu glanced at her and said, "It seems that you are in good condition and have not been affected by online comments."
Andy smiled bitterly: "It was true at first. Fan Xiaomei even called to remind me, but I didn't take it seriously. It wasn't until I got off work and found someone sticking a note on my car that I realized it was not that simple."
Li Mu said: "Now that you know it's not that simple, have you thought of a solution?"
Andy spread his hands and said, "I'm confused now. I don't know what's going on. I don't know who would do this. I'm completely blind."
Li Mu said: "Sister Fan also told me about this in the afternoon. I checked the IP address and registration information of the post, and asked someone to inquire about it. I know a little bit about it."
Andy asked curiously: "Why?"
Li Mu said: "Have you and Mr. Wei gotten very close during this time?"
Andy said thoughtfully: "We have had dinner together several times recently, but he went abroad a few days ago and we haven't seen him for a few days."
Andy frowned as he spoke: "Could it be that Wei Wei lied? He is not single. The person who posted the message was his girlfriend."
Li Mu said: "According to the information I have, Wei Wei should still be single. The person who posted the news and hired trolls to hype you up is named Aguan Nan."
"Her father knew Wei Wei, and they were both in the hardware import and export business. Wei Wei's business was doing well, but Aguan's father's business was not going well, and he often suffered losses in the past two years."
"Aguan Nan knew Wei Wei, and she probably fell in love with him. She thought that if she got married, she would become a wealthy wife and help with her own business. She had been pursuing him for a while, but unfortunately she was interested in him and was ruthless."
"Seeing that Wei Wei is getting close to you, I treat you as a love rival, thinking that Wei Wei is unwilling to accept her because of you. I probably thought that I would make you look bad and make you and Wei Wei break up because of this matter, and the matter will be ruined.
She'll have a chance."
Andy's mouth widened, but he didn't expect this to be the reason.
"Thank you, Li Mu. Without your help, it would be really difficult to find the person behind the scenes."
Li Mu smiled and said: "Skills have specializations. Have you forgotten what I majored in?"
Andy suddenly remembered that Li Mu had told her before that she studied network security and was a master in this field. It was not difficult to check the registration information of an IP address.
As long as you focus on a specific target, other information can easily be found.
"How do you plan to deal with it?" Li Mu asked.
Andy hesitated: "I originally planned to call the police, but Fan Xiaomei said it was useless and it would be difficult to find evidence. Now that I know who it is, I hesitate."
Li Mu smiled and said: "How can you not find evidence? It is really not easy for ordinary people to find evidence. The investment is too big and the gains are obviously not proportional; but as the chief financial officer of Shengxuan Group, as long as you have this idea,
The evidence can definitely be found.”
"Aguan Nan's slander and attack on you has been widely spread on the Internet and has been suspected of defamation. The nature is very serious and a case can be filed directly."
"I feel that sometimes, we still cannot be kind to some people, so how can we repay kindness with kindness?"
Andy was a little hesitant. After all, this matter involved Wei Wei, and he didn't want to cause too much trouble.
Suddenly her cell phone rang, and it was Lao Tan who called. Andy answered the call, chatted with the other party for a few words, and when she hung up the phone, she looked obviously depressed and a little helpless.
Li Mu said: "What's wrong?"
Andy laughed at himself: "It seems that I have underestimated the impact of this matter. Lao Tan just called me. I was supposed to attend the board of directors tomorrow and make a report, and officially take over the merger and acquisition of Red Star."
"After this incident spread, some directors of the company felt that I was not suitable for public appearances for the time being, so my trip tomorrow was cancelled, and Lao Tan made the report."
Li Mu said: "Your company is really sensitive, but if you are exposed to the spotlight at this time, it is indeed easy to cause a backlash in public opinion."
After all, Andy has worked hard all the way from Wall Street. She is not the kind of sad heroine in idol dramas. She will cry for a long time when she steps on flowers and plants. She is as simple and kind as the Virgin Mary and the white rabbit.
You still have to make decisions when encountering problems.
"It seems that sometimes you really can't be soft-hearted. Li Mu, how do you think this should be handled? Do you have any suggestions?"
Li Mu said: "It's very simple. I will send you the information I have in a moment, and you give it to Tan Zongming and ask him to come forward."
"A group as big as Shengxuan can be considered a powerful player in the Shanghai stock market. As the chief financial officer, the boss Tan Zongming personally invited a big man from Wall Street to be slandered online and maliciously spread rumors, which even affected the company's business advancement.
How could it be settled so easily?"
"The group's legal affairs department has supported so many people. Is it possible that they are just doing the job? It's time for them to show their professionalism."
"Me! The company happens to run a comprehensive media platform called Daily Toutiao. I can help you clarify this matter and send you some hot searches."
Andy's eyes lit up and he nodded: "It seems that this is the only way. I'm sorry to trouble you, Li Mu."
Li Mu smiled: "You're welcome. After all, we are beautiful neighbors. It feels good to be able to help."
Andy was slightly embarrassed, which was rare.
"Then I'll communicate with Lao Tan first and treat you to dinner when I have time to express my gratitude."
Li Mu said: "Okay, then I'll wait."
…
The next day, Shengxuan Group's legal team was dispatched, and lawyers' letters were sent out one after another. On various news platforms such as WeChat, Daily Headlines... and through the company's official account, they issued a serious statement: Regarding the rumors about Ms. Andy
, the company has called the police and will seriously hold accountable individuals and media who maliciously spread rumors and attack company executives.
For a company as big as Shengxuan Group, this attitude is still very intimidating. All kinds of self-media have ceased operations, and only a few are still gaining popularity.
Here, Li Mu published some clarification articles through self-media and arranged them to be trending. The direction of public opinion changed and he began to attack those who maliciously spread rumors.
In the afternoon, the Shanghai police announced on their official Weibo account that more than 20 people who maliciously created rumors and attacked Shengxuan Group executives had been arrested.
Aguan Nan and several navy leaders were officially put on criminal record. According to the criminal law, those who defame others, if the circumstances are serious, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention, public surveillance, or deprivation of political rights.
Obviously he's going to jail.
In addition, the two best friends who helped Aguan Nan with advice and some members of the navy team were sent to a detention center and detained for fifteen days, although they were not placed on criminal record.
The remaining small number of self-media that were still enjoying the popularity shivered when they saw the official Weibo posted by the police, and quickly deleted all the previous content.
