Title: I’m Pregnant with the Villain’s Child

Chapter 247 - It was actually Ye Zhen that she owed a debt of gratitude to? (2)
“I find it strange too. Could Lu Beichuan really like this type of Cinderella girl? He was childhood friends with Shen Weiyin. Shen Weiyin is so beautiful. I don't even know what to say about Lu Beichuan. His taste is oddly bland.”
“Never mind that Ye Zhen flew up socially by marrying into a prestigious family. I bet most people don’t know that she has no conscience. After marrying into a prestigious family, she doesn’t care if her maiden family is doing well or not. The Lu’s own such a big corporation. If she just casually said a few words, Ye Qing wouldn’t be suffering the way she is now. I also heard that the Ye Corporation is facing bankruptcy. Dad Ye looked for Ye Zhen to ask her to have Lu Beichuan save his company, but Ye Zhen was indifferent.”
“My god… How could Ye Zhen be so ungrateful?! Her parents raised her for over twenty years in vain!”
Many people thought Ye Zhen was a parvenu’s daughter that had no abilities. She was utterly lacking and had only married Lu Beichuan by luck. In contrast, Ye Qing had exceptional grades since childhood and was the daughter that all parents wanted. Due to the injustice of fate, she could only struggle to make a living in the entertainment circle, subject to ups and downs of fortune.
Of course, there were many netizens that thought spreading this animation of Ye Zhen was an infringement on her rights and an insult. They called for everyone to stop forwarding this animation and delete the existing posts. There were also people that expressed the opinion that Ye Zhen didn’t get married to Lu Beichuan just by luck. They urged the commenters that said fate was unfair to go see an eye doctor. Pinkeye/jealousy was contagious.
(T/N: Figurative meaning of pinkeye is jealousy in Chinese.)
However, those comments were quickly deleted, leaving only comments with nasty words directed at Ye Zhen. It was quite unsightly.
Lu Beichuan naturally knew about the information posted online. He had previously ordered Qin Zhiyin to alert him if there was any negative news about Ye Zhen online.
Seeing that one after another, videos of Ye Zhen were being dug out, Lu Beichuan had a malicious expression. He hadn’t expected that situation would develop to such a point.
“Has the PR Department taken action?”
Qin Zhiyin had a worried frown. “They have, but the driving force behind the scenes has obviously spent a huge amount of money. Although we’re doing our best to resolve the situation, the effect is minimal.”
“What about the lawyer letters?”
“The first thing I did was contact the Weibo user posting this information, but he’s secure in the knowledge that he has backing. He’s not worried at all about a lawyer letter.”
After Qin Zhiyin had sent over the lawyer letter, not only was the person spreading the videos and animation not scared, he even posted her threatening remarks online and mocked it. He made fun of Lu Corporation by saying that other than lawyer letters, they only had more lawyer letters.
This move reminded many netizens of the previous incident of Lu Corporation sending lawyer letters. Once there were too many lawyer letters, people wouldn’t take it seriously. The poster joked that Lu Corporation was a family company that specialized in lawyer letters.
“Excuse my frankness CEO Lu. Although it looks like there are a lot of people in the company’s PR Department, the staff’s previous professional work isn’t directed at the entertainment industry, so they don’t have much experience in that area. They’re not able to immediately respond and deal with this type of meticulously planned and prepared crisis.”
Lu Beichuan mulled over this issue. “Go all out in dealing with this matter. As for the staff in the PR Department, if you have any thoughts, you can issue feedback to them. In addition, there is something else I want to let you know in advance.”
“CEO Lu, please say.”
“A week ago, I convened a meeting with the Investing Department regarding acquisition of Chaoxun Entertainment. I carefully considered it. Since the company has already taken a step into investing in the entertainment industry, it’ll be better to dive into it. It won’t take too long to acquire Chaoxun Entertainment. Regarding the actors and actresses that signed with that company, please prepare a packet of information on them. In addition, after the acquisition is complete, I hope you can go over there and take the position of head of agents. In the meantime, seriously consider who you want to recommend as the successor of the PR Department.”
