Chapter 491 The Public Opinion Warfare The company at Erewhon didn't have a lot of employees. However, it was the headquarters' forum. So, quite a number of people had seen it.
The post gained traction, and a lot of people left comments. The foreigners were quite open-minded, and everyone treated it like another piece of gossip news. It was a good thing that my face wasn't shown in the photos. With that said, people who knewcould recognize me.
Moreover, Willis was wearing what he had always worn-a checkered shirt.

"This explains why she looks so smug in the office every single day. I'm telling you, you'd think she was the wife of the CEO if you didn't know better." "Is this how messy it is at the company's Erewhon branch? Here I was, thinking about applying for a transfer. Looks like I can save myself from the hassle now." Among all the vicious comments, there was one in particular that laid down the specifics of everything that happened after my arrival. Going by the tone of the comment alone, I could deduce that it was Anne.
It was made especially clear towhen I thought about how she kept wandering in front ofearly in the morning. I knew she was up to no good.
After I compiled the design I cup with from my overtwork last night, I passed it to Mr. Finnley. However, he didn't even look at it before he tossed it aside.
"Have you seen the company forum, Rinatta? There are no rules in the company that explicitly forbid us from being in a relationship with our colleagues, but what you're doing is just too indecent." Mr. Finnley was the person who secretly and inappropriately fondled a female colleague's butt. How dare he talk toabout indecency? His gaze was laced with hostility when he looked at me. It looked like he wasn't going to letoff easily. In fact, it seemed like he and Anne had been gunning forsince the day I arrived at the company. "Willis and I aren't a couple. The angle at which the photos were taken makes it look like something more is going on between us." I didn't think it should be a big issue even if what was portrayed in the photos was true. After all, the people in Erewhon were very open-minded. Jack wasn't a boss who would pick on his employees either.
However, Mr. Finnley suddenly flew into a rage. "What are you talking about? If you two aren't a couple, then why did he look for you in theet office at 11:00 pm? I'm aware you know someone in the company, Rinatta. That's how you landed a job you can here, but that doesn't meaQ mess around in the office." Mr. Finnley turned the computer screen to me. Sure enough, I did see the comments that belittled me. They accusedof being a whore and a bitch. Seven said that I would prostitute myself when I didn't have anything better to do.
Most of them thought that there had to be something wrong with me. After all, they hadn't heard ofin the past, but I was suddenly representing the higher-ups to sign the contract.
I glanced at the accounts and sneered internally. The public opinion warfare here wasn't anything to write habout. They were all newly registered accounts. It only took one glance to see that I was being maliciously targeted. These foreign companies probably didn't have a dedicated team to manage things like this. That was why nobody registered and maintained several accounts for years.
The whole ruse was so poorly crafted that it failed miserably at intimidating me.

I shrugged helplessly. "Yeah. So? Shouldn't you be criticizing these people for spreading false rumors? You're the supervisor. Naturally, it's En. your job to think from your team's perspective. I'm a victim, and I'm your subordinate. Don't you think you should stand up for me?"
I had a pretty good guess about the people behind these photos. All it .om took was a simple investigation, and We'd be able to track down the people behind these comments and accounts. Anne had been typing away at her keyboard for the entire morning. It was like she wanted to get caught.
Mr. Finnley put on a dry smile and looked at me. "This is very serious, Rinatta. Public opinion has affected our department. Instead of figuring out ways to resolve it yourself, you're expecting the company to clean up your mess. "If public opinion gets worse and you fail to give us a compelling explanation, your ass is going to be fired. You've been warned!"
