Chapter 331 - Making Their Relationship Public (2)
Chu Luo pushed the tea in front of Elder Hu towards him. “Elder Hu, have some tea first.”
Elder Hu fumed. “How can I still be in the mood to drink tea at a time like this? If my granddaughter hadn’t called me this morning to tell me about this, are you planning to hide it from us?”
Chu Luo smiled at him and didn’t answer. That was obviously her intention.
Elder Hu pointed at her nose angrily. “You wretched girl!”
Chu Luo nodded obediently. “I was wrong.”
Elder Hu didn’t know what to say to her. He simply retracted his hand and turned his head away from her.
Professor Tang asked, “Little Chu, this matter is almost impossible to resolve. You… Why didn’t CEO Li stand out to say something?”
“What should he say? Someone is guiding the public opinion now. In addition, Yan’s company has been framed. If he comes out to speak now, who will believe him?”
Professor Tang was silent.
Cao Dongliang pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and said, “Little Chu, I can get someone from the military hospital to clarify for you.”
“There must be people from the Qin family there.”
“This won’t work and that won’t work either. Are you going to let others ruin your reputation like this? We know very well how capable you are!”
Elder Hu slammed on the sofa and was about to flip through his phone. “No, I’ll get my granddaughter to register an online account for me too. I’ll clarify things for you.”
Chu Luo quickly went over to hold his hand. “Grandpa Hu, don’t be rash about this matter. There’s at most an hour before someone with greater authority will come out to speak for us. It won’t be too late for you to make a move then.”
When the three of them heard Chu Luo say that, they looked at her in surprise.
Chu Luo smiled at them and said, “Yan’s company is so big. It’s impossible for the higher-ups to let the Qin family frame us unilaterally. As for our relationship, we can just announce it after we clear up Blazing Glory Corporation’s reputation.”
When the three of them heard this, they finally calmed down.
At this moment, Chu Luo’s phone rang again.
She took it and saw that it was from Anya.
She swiped the answer button and Anya’s gloating voice came from the other end. “Chu, you’re so pitiful. The moment I alighted from the plane, I heard that you were the victim of online violence.”
Chu Luo couldn’t be bothered to bicker with her. She said directly, “If you’re calling to gloat, hang up. I don’t have time to play with you.”
“Hey, hey, hey! What do you mean by that?” Anya’s tone was as annoying as ever. “Are you at Imperial University now? I’m coming to play with you.”
When Chu Luo heard this, she suddenly smiled. She knew that Anya had come to play with her at this time to announce to everyone that Princess Anya of America had chosen to stand on her side.
“Why are you coming here?” Chu Luo, who was really not used to this woman’s tone, said straightforwardly, “If you came to play with me, don’t you know what it means?”
Anya sounded displeased. “Do I, a princess, have to ask others for their permission when I want to play with someone?” At this point, she was a little impatient. “Hurry up and get someone to pick me up. How did the Qin family know that I was in the empire? They actually sent someone over. How annoying!”
Chu Luo thought for a while and said, “Alright, where are you now?”
Anya: “The embassy, of course.”
She even added, “It’s best if that dead-faced fellow surnamed Qin comes to pick me up. That Qin fellow is simply outrageous. I said that I was coming to the empire, but he actually dared to hang up on me. See how I deal with him.”
Chu Luo: “…”
Chu Luo said, “I’ll ask if he’s free.”
Anya: “Then go ask. I’ll hang up first.”
Then she hung up.
Chu Luo put away her phone and said to Elder Hu and the others with a smile, “Elder Hu, Professor Tang, Professor Cao, why don’t you guys go back to the laboratory and do the experiment? Don’t worry, this matter will be resolved quickly.”
Although they didn’t hear Anya’s voice when Chu Luo called just now, they guessed that the person who was coming wasn’t simple.
The three of them thought for a while. Cao Dongliang said to Chu Luo, “Little Chu, as soon as the Blazing Glory Corporation’s matter is clarified, come and tell me immediately. I’ll call the military hospital’s director.”
“Okay.”
The three of them left.
After they left, Chu Luo went to the study upstairs to look for Li Yan.
Other than Li Yan, Secretary Tan and a few higher-ups of the Blazing Glory Corporation were also in the study.
They treated the study as an office. Everyone’s expressions were very serious, but they didn’t show any anxiety.
When Chu Luo pushed open the door, they didn’t look up at her.
Li Yan looked over.
Chu Luo asked him, “Is Qin Ming busy now?”
As she spoke, she told him about Anya asking Qin Ming to pick her up.
Li Yan took his phone and called Qin Ming. After Qin Ming picked up the call, he said to him, “Go to the US embassy and bring Anya over immediately.”
With that, he hung up.
Chu Luo walked to his side and glanced at his computer. It was a stock market chart of the Blazing Glory Empire.
Indeed, there was a huge fall.
Chu Luo asked him, “Is there no movement from the Duanmu family yet?”
“Just now, Second Master Duanmu went to the Qin residence.”
Chu Luo sneered. “What is the Duanmu family trying to do? Persuade the Qin family to stop or threaten the Qin family to stop?”
After saying that, he asked, “Does Old Master Duanmu know?”
“Mm.”
After Chu Luo finished asking, she walked out of the door. “I’ll wait for Anya downstairs.”
Chu Luo had just arrived downstairs when she received a call from Tang Zhiyun.
Tang Zhiyun said to her over the phone, “Junior, look at the Internet.”
Chu Luo strode to the sofa with the phone and quickly opened the webpage.
Tang Zhiyun’s voice came again. “Look at the official website of the Sun family in the capital.”
Chu Luo quickly entered the Sun family’s official website. When she saw that the middle-aged men from the Sun family were all wearing uniforms and facing the camera with serious expressions, Chu Luo had a thought.
The person filming was obviously unprofessional, but this didn’t affect the Sun family’s iron-blooded aura at all.
Eldest Master Sun was talking with a unique stern expression. “Chu Luo is our Sun family’s benefactor. She used her medical skills to treat our father. No matter who started this cyber attack today, the Sun family will be Chu Luo’s backing. We are willing to back them up to the end.”
As soon as Eldest Master Sun finished speaking, Third Master Sun continued, “Anyone who isn’t blind can tell whether Chu Luo is capable or not. As for who she’s dating, it’s none of your business! If anyone dares to attack her or scold her, I’ll shoot them!”
Then, the other people from the Sun family also spoke.
Chu Luo had just logged out of the Sun family’s official website when Tang Zhiyun sent another message.
Tang Zhiyun: “Junior, many people are supporting you.”
The Sun family sent a signal by standing out to speak for them. Then, Ocean City’s elite high school’s official website and Imperial University’s official website came out. Many people who had great influence in society also came out to support Chu Luo and refute the rumors, clarifying that she had never gone through the back door.
After these rumors were denied, many of the flamers on the Internet lost their voices.
Then, many people stood up and said that the CEO of the Blazing Glory Corporation, Li Yan, wasn’t worthy of Chu Luo.
Li Yan’s reputation in the upper-class society wasn’t very good. Many people were afraid of him yet unable to get rid of him, so they would definitely step forward to step on him.
“Chu Luo is so outstanding. The CEO of the Blazing Glory Corporation is a ruthless person. He’s not worthy of Chu Luo at all.”
“I heard that Li Yan caused Chu Luo’s uncle’s family to go bankrupt. Maybe Li Yan took advantage of his power to bully people and forced Chu Luo to be with him.”
“Definitely. Chu Luo is so beautiful. Maybe Li Yan used her uncle’s family to threaten her.”
“Li Yan won’t even let his own family off. He must be dating Chu Luo to toy with her. I really feel indignant for Chu Luo.”
…
The comments on the Internet became one-sided again.
Seeing this, Chu Luo clenched her fists in anger and looked furious. She said to Tang Zhiyun, “Senior Brother Tang, I want to broadcast on the school’s BBS. It will definitely be jammed later. Help me publicize and support the technology.”
Tang Zhiyun knew what she was going to do and replied, “No problem. Junior, don’t worry.”
“Okay.”
After saying that, Chu Luo quickly entered the school’s BBS account.
When Chu Luo logged into BBS, not only were Tang Zhiyun and the others writing code to support her at the same time, but Professor Wu and Wu Yiyao were also sitting in front of the computer, as well as the game cabin developers who worked with Chu Luo.
When the heads of Imperial University found out that Chu Luo would broadcast on the school’s BBS website, they immediately notified all the professors, teachers, and students in the Computer Science Department to join in.
Everyone who was online received the news that Chu Luo was about to broadcast live.
Instantly, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and finally more than a million people surged into the Imperial University official website.
At this moment, Chu Luo turned on the video. She was sitting on the sofa and wearing the most casual and simple home clothes. Even so, it couldn’t conceal her gorgeous face and noble aura.
Chu Luo said in a serious tone, “An hour ago, many people doubted my ability. They felt that I had to use a back door to get full marks for the college entrance examination before I could enter Imperial University. I didn’t speak up before, only because I wanted to see how far those people could spin the story.
“Who was the first to say that I bought the college entrance examination papers with money? Are you brainless? Do you think I can survive at Imperial University without real ability? Are you saying that Li Yan’s ability has already reached the point where he can control all the heads of Imperial University and make me jump grades from first year to third year?”
“Has Li Yan the ability to control Professor Wu from the Computer Science Department and Professor Tang from the School of Medicine? He can even control the National Cyberspace Administration and get them to send me a certified certificate?”
Chu Luo was never one to mince her words when she spoke. No matter how many people on the Internet felt uncomfortable hearing this, she didn’t mind.
