Chapter 48: Watching the Show

[Her height and figure are quite good. She’s fair and slender. The Swan Princess looks a little like Miss Ye!]
[Are you serious? Ye Ye wore a black dress tonight. If you can’t tell black from white, you should get your eyes checked!]
[Hahaha! This comment is so funny that it made me laugh out loud!]
Gu Yuwu thought about it and was confident that Sang Xiyue would not have any other trick up her sleeve. Then, she made a call and arranged for someone to expose Sang Xiyue and clear Lin Xiaowan’s name.
‘I’ve already told her that if she dares to cause trouble, I won’t let her go. Why didn’t she listen?’
After ending the call, Gu Yuwu checked her phone again and found that the designer of Athena’s Swan Collection had spoken up about the matter, making this matter an even hotter topic.
The designer, Riccar, was not from Shangxia. When the head of Athena in Shangxia was informed about this matter, he had contacted Riccar immediately. There were very few people whom Riccar would make custom alterations for, and with just a look, he knew that the dress was personally altered by Riccar.
Riccar, who was woken up by the call, was naturally unhappy that his sleep was disrupted. He grumbled, “I make custom alterations for the Huo family’s young madam all the time. Although I have a good relationship with the Huo family, I charged them a 2% craftsmanship fee for every piece.”
“By the way, who’s the other woman? Is that the brand ambassador you chose? Hmm, it seems like she’s wearing a counterfeit product. Huh? What recording? Whatever. Do what you want. You people from Shangxia are really troublesome.”
“Alright, I’m going back to sleep,” Riccar finally said before ending the call.
Meanwhile, the head of Athena in Shangxia was shocked by Riccar’s words. ‘What? The designer said that our ambassador was wearing a knockoff? And the other woman is actually the young madam of the Huo family? Since there are two young masters from the Huo family, which young madam is she?’ He sighed. Initially, he thought it would be easy for the public relations department to solve this matter. However, it seemed like it would be much more troublesome than he had expected.
He resigned himself to his fate and got out of bed. He called the legal department of Athena in Shangxia and asked them to draft a termination contract as soon as possible.
When the head of the legal department received the call, he thought that he was dreaming. Then, when he regained his senses, he called the public relations department.
“I’m sending you the audio file. Listen to it, and release a statement.”
“What statement?”
The public relations department was also very confused. They had been monitoring this matter when they suddenly received this call.
“It’s about Sang Xiyue. You’ll know what to do after listening to the audio file.”
Meanwhile, before sending the audio file, the head of Athena in Shangxia had an idea. He wanted to contact Huo Zheng, but he did not have Huo Zheng’s number. As such, he could only contact Huo Zheng’s special assistant.
Assistant Song was already asleep at this time. Unless he was busy with work, he usually had very healthy sleeping habits. On most nights, he usually went to bed at 9 PM.
When he was woken up by the call, he was still very groggy. However, after listening to the other party, his sleepiness instantly disappeared.
“What did you say?”
He scrambled out of bed and checked the news.
‘Help! Why didn’t anyone inform me of such a huge matter? What are those people in the company doing? Don’t we have people monitoring things like this 24/7? Well, I can’t really blame them. After all, most people have never seen the Second Young Madam…’
Assistant Song finally heaved a sigh of relief when he discovered that this matter only blew up about half an hour ago. There was still time for him to salvage the situation. In his opinion, his boss and his boss’ wife were likely unaware of this matter.
Alas, he was unaware that Gu Yuwu had already called Huo Zheng.
The other party called to ask Assistant Song if they should hide Lin Xiaowan’s identity before he released a statement. After all, there had never been any news about Lin Xiaowan. It was obvious that Huo Zheng had been protecting her privacy.
“Of course. The young madam doesn’t like to be talked about… If it’s possible, don’t post the photos with the young madam’s face,” Assistant Song said.
The head of Athena in Shangxia naturally understood Assistant Song’s intention. After apologizing sincerely, he ended the call. He edited the audio file before he sent it to his subordinate.
It did not take long after that for Athena to release a statement.
[We don’t tolerate counterfeit products. We’ve spoken to the designer of the Swan Collection and found out about a few unexpected things. First of all, we would like to apologize to the Swan Princess for this unnecessary trouble.] [@Sang Xiyue, please give us an explanation regarding your actions. You’ve negatively impacted our brand, and this is considered a serious breach of contract.]
[Our brand would also like to announce that we’ll be terminating our contract with Miss Sang Xiyue.]
Following these posts, an audio file was uploaded. It was the conversation between Riccar and the head of Athena in Shangxia. Since Riccar was speaking in his native tongue, translation was also provided.
When Gu Yuwu saw these posts, she quickly called the person whom she had called earlier.
“Don’t do anything for now. There’s a huge development! Sang Xiyue is in huge trouble this time!”
“I really don’t understand what Sang Xiyue is doing. She’s the spokesperson for the brand so she naturally has access to clothes from the brand. Why did she wear a knock-off?”
“In any case, delete the original photos first.”
After ending the call, Gu Yuwu quickly went on the Internet to watch the show.
Initially, the comments under the posts made by Athena were filled with Sang Xiyue’s hardcore fans. It was likely that they did not listen to the recording and rushed to defend her blindly.
These fans assumed that Sang Xiyue’s actions that negatively impacted the brand had something to do with the comparison photos since they did not listen to the recording. They defended her enthusiastically and even felt that the brand had betrayed Sang Xiyue for an unknown person.
However, as time passed, more and more people listened to the recording. Sang Xiyue’s fans were at a loss. Moreover, Sang Xiyue had remained silent. With this, her fans gradually lost their confidence.
After Lin Xiaowan fell asleep, Huo Zheng checked his phone. Compared to the last time he checked the news, there had been an earth-shattering change. Apart from that, the photos had also been deleted..
