"The investigation just now was rushed, so there's still a lot we don't understand. Let me get someone to properly look into Zhu Hexuan. I'm guessing she must have always been jealous of you for living the good life. She's going to be happy over your misery once she investigates this. We can still put a stop to this news, but Zhu Hexuan works with the mainstream media. It would be impossible to erase it, especially now since it's all over the internet. The only thing we can do is public relations work to lower the heat on this situation," Lisa said coldly after some thought.

"I know. I've handled similar situations before. It won't be any use to erase the news. The fastest and most effective way to deal with this is to create another hot piece of news to bury the heat of the original news. But we don't need to do anything this time. Besides my personal news getting revealed, I don't think I've suffered any loss. If you helped salvage this situation, wouldn't that just give the Kim family an advantage?" Jennie said.

"They must be trying desperately to find a way out of this. Let them solve it by themselves, there's no reason to give them a hand. One doesn't need to announce their name when doing a good deed. Even if you did, they wouldn't be grateful. They'll just take the opportunity to associate their name with yours. That would be so disgusting," Jennie's cheeks puffed up in anger.

Lisa was tickled by her and poked at her cheeks.

"Anyone can learn my story by watching the news. That's okay for me. There's no need to help the Kim family. You're not allowed to secretly suppress the news," Jennie said as she looked at Lisa worriedly.

"I'll do anything you say," Lisa nodded.

Jennie could not help but laugh, "Oh yeah, is it possible to keep my contact a secret? In case those reporters try and get me to comment."

"This would be no problem, I've already given the order," Lisa nodded.

...

The next day was the seventh day of the lunar New Year. It was the first working day of the Chinese New Year.

She was not sure if it was Lisa's doing, but no one gave her any calls. Jennie gave it a thought and finally understood. What they wanted was the Kim family, she was considered incidental. Now that the story has had its effect, no one would be coming to her for the truth.

Anyway, there was still Zhu Hexuan. She was in the know and could appear in the news story as someone close to the story. There was no need to reveal her name and expose herself.

When the market opened, Jennie took some interest in it, even though she had never been concerned about the stock market. Kim Mao was in trouble.

"Jennie, when did you become so interested in the stock market? Are you planning to invest?" Zheng Yuntong asked when she came back with a cup of coffee in her hand and saw Jennie's computer screen.

Jennie did not bother to hide anything from here. Even if Zheng Yuntong had not seen the news, someone would tell her and she would learn about it sooner or later.

She said quietly, "Did you see the news about the Kim family yesterday?"

Zheng Yuntong nodded in embarrassment, "I heard your name mentioned in the video and thought it might be you. But this is your personal matter and I was too embarrassed to ask you about it."

Jennie nodded frankly, "It is me. I have no idea who did this. I guess the Kim family might be doing badly after the news came out, so I decided to take a look."
