Su Mo turned his back to the two of them and spoke calmly, "Ever since Master Lagerfeld came out in an interview last night and publicly stated that his work had been plagiarized, our official website has been receiving messages from all over the world, and most of the messages are extremely unfavorable to us."
The two department directors' hearts began to beat fast when they heard this.
As expected, only Secretary Su dared to talk to President Yuan when he was angry. If it were them, they would be so scared that they dared not to bring bad luck upon themselves.
Su Mo stared at Yuan Yongqin with a focused look: "In addition, when you, Mr. Yuan, were driving, supermodels started to die."
"One of the most popular celebrities followed suit and retweeted our Instagram."
"Because she is very influential on social media platforms, she has attracted the attention of many ordinary people."
"The impact of this incident is now so great that it is beyond our control. If we cannot effectively resolve this matter, Tao Leyi's career will be ruined."
The more Yuan Yongqin listened, the more she frowned. Finally, she put her hand on her forehead, which was a common action she took when she had a headache: "Give me the iPad."
Su Mo walked back and found the iPad placed on the sofa where guests were greeted. He considerately pulled up what Yuan Yongqin wanted to see, then walked back and handed it to her.
Yuan Yongqin took it and looked down.
The post they posted on Instagram the day before yesterday received a lot more reposts and comments, which was in stark contrast to the lack of attention in the previous two days. It was as lively as it could be.
Yuan Yongqin scrolled down and saw the most forwarded post on Instagram.
[LLi: Mr. Lagerfeld is one of the great designers I admire most. I hope you will stop your ignorant behavior immediately. Apologize to the master!]
Yuan Yongqin’s frown looked like it might have killed a fly.
She didn't have to ask.
Su Mo always understood what she was thinking, and whispered in her ear, "This LLi was just an Internet celebrity in the early days. Later, she entered the modeling circle through her influence and became a new generation of supermodel who is now famous. Because her popularity on social media is not inferior to that of first-tier stars, her every move can attract public attention. She is considered the hottest social influencer nowadays."
"She came out to speak out about the plagiarism this time, most likely to curry favor with Lagerfeld and the forces behind him."
"It doesn't matter what she said. What matters is that after she left, I'm worried that more celebrities will come out and take sides. This way, we will suffer even more in terms of public opinion! Something that didn't even exist in the first place has become a 'fact' after they manipulated the situation."
"Ah."
Yuan Yongqin threw the iPad onto the table, her face frosty, her eyes frozen, and she said coldly: "They are just ganging up to bully us because we have no say."
Su Mo said nothing.
Because what Yuan Yongqin said was the obvious truth.
The other party's methods are not sophisticated, but they are extremely shameless.
They want to use their influence to force a new designer to plead guilty to something that has not yet been determined, and brand him as a plagiarist.
This will psychologically defeat Tao Leyi and the Chengfeng Group behind them, leaving them speechless and unable to express their suffering.
Nie Qingru’s move was so vicious!
**
Yuan Yongqin asked the public relations department to come up with a solution immediately, and also contact INS to see if they could spend money to temporarily suppress the heat.
In addition, Su Mo contacted Qiao Nian and told her about the tricks the Nie family had used on INS.
There are time differences in all three places.
It’s just 7:30 in the morning in Independence Island.
