Chapter 478 Rumors
"Just as you expected, my brother came to me again yesterday and wanted me to lend him 200,000 yuan!" Fan Shengmei said.

Lin Hao stood on the balcony, turned his gaze back to the room, and then asked Fan Shengmei:

"Then did you promise him?"

"Haha~!" Fan Shengmei hugged Lin Hao's waist and said happily: "I hung up the phone on him directly, and then asked a lawyer to find him, and he immediately gave in!"

"You indulged them too much in the past. If you had realized your mistake earlier, there wouldn't be so much trouble!"

"But I owe you a lot of money, and I'm afraid I'll never be able to pay it back in this lifetime. What do you think I should do?"

"If you can't pay it back, I'll pay you back with your whole life~!"

As he said that, Lin Hao turned around and picked up Fan Shengmei. Fan Shengmei was just a head taller than Lin Hao, so Lin Hao's head was just right~!

Fan Shengmei, who let go of her obsession, bursts with unparalleled passion!
······
In Shengxuan Group, in Tan Zongming's meeting room, Lin Hao, Tan Zongming and Andy are discussing the acquisition of Red Star.

Lin Hao put down the information about the Red Star Group in his hand and said:

"If we can successfully acquire Hongxing, it will help Shengxuan's brand awareness in China to further increase, but the problem now is that our two companies are of similar size, and it will be difficult to acquire them."

Andy also said: "Indeed, the company's mobile phone business has no major problems, and the computer business needs to be adjusted, but the company is also entering the home appliance industry. From this perspective, the acquisition of Red Star is imperative, and Red Star has a high brand recognition!"

Andy then shook his head and said, "But the problem is that some people in the company currently want to continue to live off their past success and are not very willing to acquire Red Star!"

Lin Hao smiled and said:
"Andy, just do it and don't care what anyone thinks!"

Tan Zongming also nodded and said:

"That's right, Andy. The reason I put you in this position is that I hope you can rise to the challenge and take on the tough job of Red Star. It also helps to let the board of directors see your strength!"

Andy habitually took a sip of water and said, "Well, I have the support of you two major shareholders, so of course I have to repay you!"

Tan Zongming handed the document to Andy and said:
"This is the latest information about Red Star. Lin Hao and I spent a lot of effort to get it. If you have any questions, feel free to ask us. As for the acquisition funds!" Tan Zongming said, looking at Lin Hao!
Lin Hao said: "Don't worry, the funds are in place!"

Tan Zongming nodded and continued to say to Andy:
"In addition to acquiring Red Star, there will also be major adjustments to the board of directors. Some old guys who just sit back and enjoy dividends are too annoying. We want to take the opportunity of the acquisition to kick them all out!"

"Indeed, with the current scale of Shengxuan Group, it is in a state of either advancing or retreating!" Then Andy smiled and said:

"It looks like the board of directors is going to be reshuffled too!"

Tan Zongming nodded and said:
"That's right. It's fine if he doesn't want to help, but he's also a hindrance. What's the point of keeping such a shareholder?"

At this time, Tan Zongming's secretary knocked on the door and said:
"Tan Zong, Red Star's negotiation representative, Mr. Wang, has arrived and is in the conference room now!"

"Let's go!" Lin Hao stood up and tidied his clothes, then said to Andy:

"Then let our Wall Street returnees help us fire the first shot!"

The three of them then entered the conference room, got to know Mr. Wang from Red Star, and started the negotiations with Red Star...

"Mr. Wang, Hongxing has a complete product production line, but lacks the corresponding promotion capabilities. It is difficult to effectively convert production capacity into benefits!" Andy then said generously:

"If our Shengxuan Group acquires Hongxing, it will not only break the disadvantage of Hongxing's single product structure, but also expand its business scope. This is a win-win situation for both sides!"

Mr. Wang shook his head and said:
"Ms. Andy said this. Of course we at Red Star know about this. Otherwise, we wouldn't have sent me to negotiate with your Shengxuan Group."

"But the problem ultimately lies in the acquisition price. Although our Red Star has shortcomings of one kind or another, we have always been profitable. We are not a loss-making company..."

Lin Hao and Tan Zongming looked at Andy silently and talked to Mr. Wang, the representative of Red Star.

However, after some negotiations, the two sides did not reach an agreement. However, such a large-scale acquisition cannot be completed in a day or two.

Unless Lin Hao takes action personally!

Mr. Wang, who watched Red Star leave, had just been invited to dinner, but because he was in a hurry to go back and report, he declined their invitation.

Although Lin Hao and the other two did not reach an agreement today, they have already sounded out Red Star's conditions and they only need to follow the steps to succeed.

At this time, Lin Hao said: "It's already noon without us noticing, let's have a meal together!"

Lin Hao looked at Tan Zongming and said, "Old Tan, you are the local boss here, can you recommend a place?"

Andy on the side also looked at Tan Zongming, so Tan Zongming smiled and said:

"No problem, just follow me!"

After a while, the three of them arrived at a specialty restaurant, but Andy suddenly looked outside with alertness.

Seeing this, Lin Hao immediately asked: "Andy, what's wrong?"

"I don't know either. I feel like someone is following me!"

Tan Zongming said: "That shouldn't be the case. You just returned to Shanghai not long ago and you don't have many friends in China. Who would follow you?"

“Yeah, I find it strange too. Several times today, I felt like someone was following me, but when I turned around, there was nothing there.

Lin Hao's heart moved, thinking that the conspiracy against Andy was about to begin, but Lin Hao did not interfere directly, but waited for the subsequent developments.

So Lin Hao smiled and said, "Forget it, Andy, don't think about it. Let's find two female bodyguards from the company's security department to accompany you to and from get off work for a while tomorrow to avoid any accidents!"

"That's right, what Lin Hao said makes sense!" Tan Zongming nodded in agreement.

Andy waved his hand and said, "That's not so exaggerated. No need. Let's order some food!"

While the three were talking, a woman at a dining table not far away was taking pictures of the three with her mobile phone.

······
That afternoon, Guan Juer was sorting out documents in the company. When she went to the bathroom, she suddenly found someone talking about Lin Hao's gossip.

"I didn't expect there would be such a ridiculous thing, and it's actually related to our President Lin!"

"I heard that he is an elite who returned from Wall Street, and his name seems to be Andy!"

"I don't know how capable this woman is, but her charm is definitely worth affirming. The story of three men and one woman is really amazing!"

As she listened, Guan Juer felt something was wrong. Why was it talking about Andy again? So she asked casually:

"Hey, I just heard you guys talking about President Lin, what happened to Lin Hao?"

"You don't know?" Seeing that Guan Juer didn't know, he picked up his phone and sent a link to Guan Juer and said:
"That's it, you'll understand once you take a look!"

Guan Juer then took out her mobile phone and opened the link. She was immediately shocked, but after looking at the content carefully, she found that there were many untrue contents in it.

Guan Juer immediately understood that someone was spreading rumors. Since the matter involved Lin Hao and Andy, she immediately found Fan Shengmei, told her what happened, and sent her the link.

After Fan Shengmei opened the link, she was surprised to find that it was a post slandering Andy, Lin Hao and Tan Zongming.

There were also discussions in the office: "See, such a beautiful woman, no wonder she can easily handle the relationship between two big bosses!"

"This woman, who graduated from a prestigious university, hooked up with two big bosses at the same time just to get close to them. She was able to get the best of both worlds and manipulate the two bosses at will. She's really good at it!"

Hearing these rumors, Guan Juer turned to the other gossiping colleagues and said:

"That's impossible! Could this post be a rumor?"

"As far as I know, our company holds shares in Shengxuan Group, and Tan Zongming in the photo is the boss of Shengxuan Group. Isn't it normal for the three of them to be together?"

The news even spread throughout her own company, so Fan Shengmei quickly sneaked out and called Andy.

"Hello, Miss Fan, what's wrong?" Andy asked immediately after answering the phone.

"Andy, someone is hacking you and Mr. Lin online. I sent you the link!" After sending the link to Andy, Fan Shengmei continued:
"Andy, take a look at this quickly. It's best to deal with it as soon as possible, otherwise you will definitely suffer. Take a look at this post, it's almost on the trending search list!"

After Andy opened the link, he looked at the post. It was filled with photos of himself, Tan Zongming, and Lin Hao. Because of the angle, it looked a bit ambiguous.

Only then did Andy remember where the feeling of being watched came from in the past few days.

It's just that the clear ones are clear, and the turbid ones are turbid. Andy said calmly:
"This post is complete nonsense. No one with a brain would believe it. Ignore them!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Hao and Tan Zongming immediately took out their mobile phones to check.

At this time, Fan Shengmei said anxiously:

"Oh, my sister Andy, you don't know how cruel these cyber trolls are. They are nothing in real life, but they are lawless on the Internet. If someone in your company hears about it, your personal reputation will be ruined!"

Andy didn't seem to realize the seriousness of the problem, so he said indifferently:

"My reputation will not be affected. People who are familiar with me understand me!"

Fan Shengmei said anxiously: "Andy, people's words are scary. If you just leave this matter alone and let it ferment, you will become the target of public criticism. By then, the whole network will spray saliva at you, and you will be in trouble.

As he spoke, he turned on his computer to check the current situation of the rumor, and then said:

"There are a lot of accounts jumping around in the forum, and they are obviously water armies, so there must be a mastermind behind this!"

"By the way, Mr. Lin came to your company today. Is he still with you now?" Fan Shengmei continued to ask, "We need to inform him about this matter immediately!"

Andy smiled and said, "It's okay, he's reading the news!"

After Andy hung up the phone, Lin Hao jokingly said to the two:
"Tell me, who is this aimed at?"

Finally, Tan Zongming looked at Andy and said:

"How about I let someone take care of this matter?"

Andy said indifferently:

"Boring, don't bother with this kind of thing!"

Obviously Andy did not realize the seriousness of the problem, and did not take it seriously.

At night, the news of Andy being cyber-bullied fermented unusually quickly, and at this time everyone on the 22nd floor came to Lin Hao's house.

While Lin Hao was telling everyone how to help Fan Shengmei solve the problem of the Fan family's bloodsucking, Tan Zongming called.

"Hello, Lao Tan, what's the matter?" Lin Hao asked after answering the phone.

Then Tan Zongming said:
"Boss Lin, Andy's incident is getting more and more outrageous now. Boss Li just called me about it!"

"What? They can't help it?" Lin Hao said as he turned on the speaker on his phone.

I only heard Tan Zongming say:
"Yes, Mr. Li wants to hold a board meeting tomorrow to discuss the plan to acquire Red Star. The board wants me to report and suspend Andy!"

"Ha~!" Lin Hao sneered and said:
"Is this guy mentally ill? The shares held by the two of us together exceed 53%. How can he still represent the board of directors?"

Upon hearing this, Tan Zongming also smiled and said:

"If these old guys could see the situation clearly, the company would have taken off long ago. They are still concerned about this kind of gossip all day long, so they can't do anything serious!"

"So what are your plans?" Lin Hao said.

Tan Zongming smiled and said:

"What I mean is that Andy must attend tomorrow's meeting, and she will be the one presiding over it. As for the suspension, that's nonsense!"

"By the way, don't tell Andy about this for now. Let's just deal with it directly so that she won't get worried!"

However, Lin Hao looked at Andy on the side, and then said to Tan Zongming with a smile:

"Everyone on the 22nd floor has come to my place to play, and Andy is right next to us!" Lin Hao handed the phone to Andy!

"Thank you, Lao Tan!" Andy then said:
"I appreciate your kindness, but I'm not that fragile. This is just a minor matter to me!"

"Okay, that's it!" After the two chatted for a few more sentences, Andy returned the phone to Lin Hao.

Lin Hao thought about it, and finally said:
"There's also the rumor issue that needs to be resolved! Otherwise, this kind of news is not good for the company or Andy's reputation!"

Then Lin Hao hung up the phone, looked at Andy and said:

"You heard it too. It looks like the rumor needs to be resolved as soon as possible!"

At this time Andy realized the harm of gossip, so he said:

"Then how do we solve this problem? The kidnapping is over the Internet, and we don't know whether the person on the other end is a human or a dog!"

Even at this time, Andy still had the leisure to make a few jokes.

Of course Lin Hao knew what was going on. This was actually done by a woman who liked singularities. However, this matter was in his favor. Such a good opportunity to brush destiny points, naturally he had to make full use of it.

Therefore, Lin Hao pretended to be ignorant and looked at Qu Xiaoxiao and said:

"Xiao Xiao, you should be the most experienced in this kind of thing. How about leaving it to you? Can you find out who is behind this?"

Qu Xiaoxiao had just finished reading the post about Hei Andy, and when she heard what Lin Hao said, she snapped her fingers and said:

"Little case!"

Then Qu Xiaoxiao picked up the phone and called her best friend Yao Bin:
"Yao Bin, help me find the person who posted this..."
