One second ago, Jiang He was certain that her company would not be affected. The next second, she received a call from her assistant. “CEO Jiang, bad news. Our products have received a large number of complaints. The brands that we contacted previously also want to terminate their contracts with us!”

Jiang He was stunned. Before she could regain her senses, she heard her assistant say again, “Our product has also been complained about. They said that the materials inside are not up to standard!”

When the bad news reached Jiang He’s ears one after another, she could not even stand steadily.

Especially since the company was already on the verge of bankruptcy.

Realizing this, Jiang He panicked completely. She quickly drove home and looked for Ji Gao. “You told me before that it doesn’t matter if some ingredients are lacking from this project, but now that it has been found out, what should we do to resolve it?”

When Ji Gao saw Jiang He’s flustered look, he couldn’t help but sneer. “You’re panicking now? Didn’t you think nothing of my company’s situation back then? I told you long ago not to provoke Gu Xiao, but you didn’t believe me!”

When Jiang He heard Ji Gao’s words, she hurriedly said, “Yes, Gu Xiao, it’s all Gu Xiao’s fault! If she hadn’t come back, everything would have been fine!”

Ji Gao did not expect Jiang He to still think so even after he said this. He said coldly, “This is all Ji Yao’s fault! If she hadn’t egged you on, you wouldn’t have gone to school, and you wouldn’t have been filmed. If you hadn’t insisted on keeping her here previously, the netizens wouldn’t have investigated my company!”

By the time Ji Gao reached the end of his sentence, he was already gritting his teeth.

However, Jiang He still denied it. “Yaoyao is so innocent. How could it be related to her?”

“Innocent?” Ji Gao repeated. At the same time, he looked at Jiang He as if he was looking at a fool and asked, “Would an innocent person cheat in the exam and find someone to make a bet on the results?”

After saying this, Ji Gao slammed the door and left. Before he left, he said, “I don’t care what you think. In any case, I still want to protect my company! If you don’t want your company to go bankrupt, go look for Gu Xiao as soon as possible!”

Jiang He found it especially ridiculous. After all, she did not understand what was the use of looking for Gu Xiao. If she had the time, she might as well ask her own parents for help.

At the thought of this, Jiang He made a call. “Dad, Mom, quickly help my company…”

Ji Gao knew that Jiang He hadn’t taken heed of his words, but he was not concerned. Immediately after, he took the gift he brought to Gu Xiao and went to look for her.

After all, Jiang He could not see the situation clearly, but he could.

Everything the netizens did was because of Gu Xiao. Ji Gao felt that he only needed to start with Gu Xiao to resolve the matter.

Gu Xiao was not surprised that Ji Gao was looking for her. After all, she had already expected it.

Ji Gao put on a fawning smile and said, “Xiaoxiao, I’m here to bring you home.”

Ji Gao had already thought it through. The person who chased Gu Xiao away was Jiang He. It did not have much to do with him. He had already arranged for someone to secretly film this scene.

At that time, as long as he posted the video of him bringing Gu Xiao home online and guided it slightly, he would definitely be able to turn the situation around!

This was also a method that Ji Gao had come up with after a long discussion.

When Ji Gao thought about how the trending topics on the Internet would change, his heart boiled.

Gu Xiao crossed her arms and leaned against the door. Although she was asking, her tone was firm. “Did you arrange for a filming secretly to capture the scene of you taking me home and post it online?”

When Ji Gao heard Gu Xiao’s words, he was stunned and asked in confusion, “How did you know?”

“It’s not hard to guess,” Gu Xiao said calmly. “If you want me to cooperate, you can. Give me 900 million.”

When Ji Gao heard Gu Xiao’s words, he frowned and said in shock, “What did you say?”

Gu Xiao was patient when it came to money, so she repeated, “As long as you give me 900 million, I’ll cooperate with you to go home and film a video.”

“900 million is too much.” Ji Gao did not expect Gu Xiao to ask for so much. The moment she opened her mouth, she had demanded for so many of his assets. After thinking about it, he said, “Why don’t I give you a company? Think about the future development of the company. It will definitely be much more than 900 million!”

Gu Xiao remained silent.

Ji Gao did not mind and said directly, “I’ll transfer the Ji Group’s subsidiary company, Creative One to you. This is the most developed. It’s more than capable of earning 900 million in the future.”

Gu Xiao snorted and looked up at Ji Gao.. “Do you think I’m a fool?”
