Chapter 613 Isn’t this the best opportunity?
Lin Yuan was silent for a while, then said softly: "Xiao Ke, don't you think we have gone a little too far?"

Qi Xiaoke on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment: "Passed? How could that be? Lin Yuan, this is a rare opportunity. We should strike while the iron is hot and post a few more trending searches."

“No,” Lin Yuan interrupted her, “We can’t do this.”

Qi Xiaoke was a little confused: "Why? Lin Yuan, this is our best chance to defeat Gu Yexing."

Lin Yuan took a deep breath and said slowly: "Xiao Ke, our goal is to prove our strength, not to win by discrediting our opponents. If we do this, what is the difference between us and Gu Yexing?"

Qi Xiaoke was silent. She knew that what Lin Yuan said made sense, but she still felt a little unwilling.

At this moment, Lin Yuan's mobile phone suddenly received a text message.

He opened it and saw that it was from an unfamiliar number: "Mr. Lin, I am the public relations manager of Gu Group. We hope to have a private meeting with you to discuss how to resolve the current situation."

Lin Yuan frowned, thought for a moment and replied: "Okay, I agree to meet."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yuan stood up and walked to the window. He looked at the bustling streets outside the window, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

This storm is far from over; on the contrary, it may have just begun.

Lin Yuan knew that he would face greater challenges in the future, but he would not give up his principles no matter what.

Just then, Lin Yuan's cell phone rang again.

He took a look and saw a message from Qi Xiaoke: "Lin Yuan, I understand your idea. I will stop all hot search operations immediately. Let's face this challenge together, okay?"

Lin Yuan looked at the message and a smile appeared unconsciously on the corner of his mouth.

He knew that no matter what difficulties he encountered, he was not fighting alone.

As the hot topic continued to ferment, netizens' discussions about Lin Yuan and Gu Yexing became more and more heated.

The voices supporting Lin Yuan were overwhelming, while the criticisms against Gu Yexing came in like a tide.

"Lin Yuan is amazing! Not only is he skilled, but he's also a good person."

"Gu Yexing, a rich second-generation, is a scumbag. He can't stand losing so he resorts to dirty tricks."

At the same time, the stock price of Gu Group was also significantly affected.

Soon after the opening, the stock price dropped significantly, causing market concerns. Some stockholders began to post complaints online:
"What happened to the Gu Group? The second son caused such a scandal, and the company didn't come out to clarify?"

"It seems that the management of Gu Group fell asleep and couldn't even handle this crisis public relations properly."

"I think we should sell Gu's stock right away. This kind of company is not worth investing in."

The news of this incident soon reached the ears of Gu Changchuan, the chairman of Gu Group. He sat in his spacious office with a terribly gloomy face. His secretary stood trembling beside him, not daring to look up at him.

"Call Ye Xing to me!" Gu Changchuan said in a deep voice.

After a while, Gu Yexing rushed to his father's office. As soon as he opened the door, he heard his father's roar:
"You rebellious child! Look what you have done!"

Gu Yexing lowered his head, not daring to look his father in the eye: "Dad, I..."

"Don't call me dad!" Gu Changchuan interrupted him, "Do you know how serious the incident you caused this time is? The company's stock price has fallen!"

Gu Yexing bit his lip, feeling both scared and aggrieved. He whispered, "Dad, this live broadcast was not my intention. It was Lin Yuan who did it."

"That's enough!" Gu Changchuan slammed the table. "No matter whose idea it was, as the heir to the Gu Group, how could you do something that would damage the company's image? You disappoint me so much!"

Gu Yexing was so frightened by his father's anger that he trembled all over. He knew that he had caused a big disaster this time and had to find a way to save the situation.

"Dad, I know I was wrong." Gu Yexing whispered, "I will find a way to solve it. In fact, this live broadcast was set up by Lin Yuan. They deliberately let me lose, and then took the opportunity to hype it up."

Gu Changchuan narrowed his eyes and stared at his son: "Are you telling the truth?"

Gu Yexing nodded quickly: "It's true! Dad, we can use this to fight back. As long as we make the truth public, Lin Yuan will definitely..."

"Shut up!" Gu Changchuan interrupted his son again, "Do you think I will believe your clumsy lies? You are my son, and I don't know you?"

Gu Yexing's face turned pale, knowing that his lie had been exposed. He lowered his head and dared not speak again.

Gu Changchuan took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down: "Yexing, I'll give you one last chance. You must come forward in person, apologize to the public, and admit your mistakes. Then, you must take the initiative to contact Lin Yuan and reconcile with him."

Gu Yexing raised his head suddenly: "Dad! How can I..."

"This is an order!" Gu Changchuan said sternly, "If you can't do it, don't call me dad anymore!"

Gu Yexing gritted his teeth, a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes. But he knew that he had no choice.

"I understand, Dad." Gu Yexing whispered, "I will do as you say."

Gu Changchuan waved his hand, signaling his son to leave. Gu Yexing turned and walked out of the office, his heart filled with humiliation and anger.

He clenched his fists and swore in his heart: Lin Yuan, I will remember this time. One day, I will make you pay the price!
After Gu Yexing left his father's office, the anger and humiliation in his heart became stronger.

He walked quickly to his private office, slammed the door, and slumped down on the luxurious leather sofa.

"Damn you Lin Yuan!" He cursed in a low voice, gritting his teeth, "How dare you humiliate me like this and make my father disappointed in me. I will make you pay the price!"

At this moment, his cell phone suddenly vibrated. Gu Yexing picked up the phone and saw that it was a message from his friend.

"Brother, have you seen the comments online? Those people are too much. They actually insulted you like this!"

Gu Yexing frowned and clicked on the link sent by his friend, and then saw an overwhelming amount of negative comments. The ridicule and abuse from netizens made him feel dizzy.

"Gu Yexing is a piece of trash, he can't even compare to a small anchor."

"It seems like the children of wealthy families are just like this. What else can they do besides spending money?"

“Is this what they call the elite? It’s hilarious!”

Every comment was like a sharp knife, stabbing into Gu Yexing's heart. His hands began to tremble unconsciously, and sparks of anger flashed in his eyes.

"Impossible, this is impossible," Gu Yexing muttered to himself, "How could I lose to that nobody? Lin Yuan must have played some tricks!"

Just then, his eyes fell on a photo frame on the desk.

It was a photo of him and his father, taken on the day he graduated from college. In the photo, his father's face was filled with a proud smile, while he was high-spirited and full of confidence.
