After My Divorce I Picked Up the Richest Boss in the World

Chapter 84: Brand Wars

The hotel room was dimly lit. Jiang Zhi opened the package and took out a copy of the property certificate of the villa.

Jiang Zhi bit her thin lips. A hint of reluctance and hesitation flashed in her eyes. In the end, she still planned to use the villa as collateral in exchange for investment funds and a small amount of liquid capital.

She chose to do in on a day when Lu Mian was filming. She found a reputable private lending company and drove there alone.

In an office building in the center of the bustling CBD, Jiang Zhi knocked on the door politely. A receptionist in a suit brought her to the negotiation room.

The business manager wearing gold-rimmed glasses was shocked when he saw the address of the villa. He raised his head and looked at Jiang Zhi. His hands kept typing on the keyboard to check whether it was real or fake.

“The location of this villa is very good. If you use another method to mortgage it, you might benefit more.”

The business manager compared the information and confirmed Jiang Zhi’s identity. He asked tentatively, “Do you want to consider…”

Jiang Zhi shook her head, lowered her eyes and clenched her fingers. “No need. Please approve the loan to me as soon as possible.”

Every day, the lending company would meet many people who borrowed money because of all kinds of difficult problems. The business manager nodded in understanding and handed the appointment certificate to Jiang Zhi.

“In a week, we will personally go to the site to check the situation of the villa. If there are no problems, the payment will be approved very soon.”

Jiang Zhi got up and left. She waited for the elevator to arrive and let out a deep sigh.

Click! Click!

A figure in the corridor saw Jiang Zhi and quickly took out his phone to snap a few pictures. Then, he dodged and looked down at Jiang Zhi’s clear figure and the loan company’s logo behind her. He raised his eyes proudly, he sent the pictures to Jiang Lu’s group of employees.

The little assistant could not help but tap on his phone in joy. He hurriedly said, “Look who I’ve met! Jiang Zhi, she’s so poor that she’s here to take out a loan!”

Jiang Lu swiped her phone in the dressing room. Her gaze stopped on the pictures and zoomed in. The corners of her mouth curled up into a mocking smile.

Ding Dong!

Social media pushed the news of the entertainment industry. The bet between Jiang Lu and Wu Dai was causing an uproar.

Jiang Lu’s fans were getting more and more aggressive. Not only did they attack Wu Dai, but some of them even went to the official flagship store of Wu Dai’s endorsed brand, “Vitality”. They organized, gathered, and maliciously submitted orders on a large scale. Before the manufacturer was ready to ship the goods, they used, unreasonable refunds to cripple sales.

Such behavior caused the brand to complain endlessly. The official flagship store was almost at a standstill, and they could only suspend purchases.

In the evening, Vitality posted a statement with a red stamp on its official Weibo.

“Regarding the recent dispute between the brand spokesperson, Wu Dai, and Ms. Jiang Lu over their personal bet, the incident stems from Ms. Jiang Lu’s slander and attack on the ‘vitality’brand in the studio. In order to protect the brand, Mr. Wu Dai and Ms. Jiang Lu caused a dispute, which resulted in the current situation.

“Please watch your words and actions, Ms. Jiang Lu’s fans. The brand reserves the right to pursue the damages caused by malicious acts.”

This statement letter instantly caused heated discussion among the netizens.

The netizens checked one after another. Some even used their insider identities to re-enact the situation at the studio that day. Although there was no video or audio evidence, it also caused some fans to suspect that Jiang Lu was deliberately guiding her fans!

Seeing that public opinion was about to change sides, the opposing brand also released two lawyer letters and statements to protect the image of its spokesperson, supporting Jiang Lu.

The conflict between the fans had developed into a fight between the two brands. The incident had developed to the point that it had alarmed the government’s official media, and this was a special case where several comments were sent consecutively.

In Star Glory, Wu Dai had no access to a cell phone, so he followed the acting teacher and worked hard to improve his acting skills…

Xie Yun withdrew his gaze from his face and thought about how he could help his artist turn the situation around. He was worried about inviting the media teacher to dinner to lessen the impact, but Jiang Zhi, as Star Glory’s manager, made a public announcement.

“I didn’t bring up the bet. It was Ms. Jiang Lu who took the initiative to promise that if the sales volume of her brand in this quarter is not as good as that of Vitality brand, she would pay Mr. Wu Dai the full endorsement fee.

“This bet is a private matter of an artist, but it has affected far more than the lives of two individuals. I apologize again.

“But the bet still stands. I hope that Ms. Jiang Lu will not divert the attention of the public and face it bravely…”

Jiang Zhi’s original intention was to support Vitality and protect the partnership between the brand and Star Glory. However, she never expected a counterattack from Jiang Lu’s fans..

When Jiang Lu saw the text, she associated it with Jiang Zhi’s cold eyes and felt a strong sense of anger and humiliation. Her entire body was trembling as she turned her head and said hatefully to her assistant.

“Where are the photos you took earlier? Send them out!”
