Chapter 467: Chapter 467: With You Here
[She seems quite sincere.]
[Come on, don’t side with capital. Are you a paid shill?]
[Watch your language. She didn’t say she wouldn’t compensate, and she even expressed her wish to have a good chat with Lulu!]
[Scary, what if Lulu gets threatened or bought off?]
[No way, this is a law-abiding society, and Gem is backed by The Ford Group, they shouldn’t be that extreme. Actually, I find it strange too; Lulu could have first contacted Gem to negotiate compensation, but she didn’t and chose to expose directly... so odd, like she was eager to pounce on a rare opportunity.]
The latest comment sparked a heated discussion, with many netizens beginning to question influencer Lulu’s actions.
Keith Donovan was already amazed by what he saw.
You have to know, when he checked the forum in the morning, it was filled with curses.
"Evelyn, do you consider this a turning point from adversity to prosperity?" Keith exclaimed in wonder, "The wind on the internet shifts pretty quickly!"
James Grant couldn’t help but look at Evelyn Clayton.
Evelyn Clayton chuckled lightly, "There’s no such thing as a turnaround. It’s just that after coming back from that influencer Lulu’s house, I hired some paid posters to reinterpret the video and guide public opinion."
Lynn Yates, quick-witted, asked with a smile, "So you deliberately went to that influencer’s house?"
"Of course." Evelyn tilted her lips, "Otherwise, if I went there so blatantly, it would be easy for people to misunderstand that I was going to eliminate witnesses."
Lynn Yates laughed, then sincerely raised her wine glass, "I’m impressed you came up with this method; it seems there really is potential on the internet."
Among those present, apart from Evelyn Clayton and Yara Reagan, everyone else was born into the second generation, and they’re all businessmen. Whenever they sit together, they either talk about inheriting family shares or discuss where they can speculate to make money.
Such tactics to manipulate public opinion are not something these people often use.
But Evelyn Clayton didn’t care.
"Such methods may be a bit unscrupulous, but the best way to solve a problem is the best way. Now we’ll see when Lulu will appear; there’ll probably be more entanglement." Evelyn calmly said.
Suddenly, James Grant said in a deep voice, "Aren’t you curious about who’s behind this manipulation?"
Evelyn looked at him, smirking as if hearing a joke, "Manipulating what? Instructing that influencer to slander Gem? That doesn’t seem very important, does it?"
James was slightly taken aback, "Why not?"
"I don’t care who instructed it; I only care whether Gem’s new brand launch can get attention. This exposure has been a godsend. Although the reputation of the custom series might not be good, it makes more people aware of the Gem brand, doesn’t it?"
Evelyn elegantly raised her wine glass and toasted James from afar, her indifferent demeanor leaving James a bit dazed.
When did Evelyn Clayton reach such heights?
The restlessness in James’ heart grew stronger.
"Evelyn, with you here, there’s no worry about Gem flourishing." Lynn Yates raised her brows and smiled lightly, "It looks like our cooperation can continue."
Evelyn perked up, refilling her glass to toast Lynn Yates, "With Director Yates’ words, I’m relieved."
Yara Reagan also quickly stood up to join the toast, full of smiles, "Director Yates, happy cooperation!"
Lynn Yates graciously stood and clinked glasses with Evelyn and Yara.
After drinking, Evelyn cheerfully proposed, "Since we’re discussing cooperation, how about Director Yates joins Yara and me in a quiet, comfortable place, I’ll have my assistant bring the draft contract, and we can have a preliminary discussion?"
