My CEO Husband Has Some Issues

Chapter 289: 289: Saying Rong Yan has an Illegitimate Child

The assistant assigned to her burst in like a whirlwind, face full of panic, exclaiming, “Estelle, something terrible has happened!”

Estelle furrowed her brows, put down what she was holding, and stopped the hysterical person, “Speak calmly, what’s the hurry? You look like a mess!”

Now that Rong Yan was gradually gaining popularity, many artists and teams within the company were watching them. She was still reacting like a flustered little girl whenever something happened. What if someone took advantage of that and caught her by the tail?

After all, that big boss wouldn’t always come to inspect KT, and they were lucky the last time with Kim Yien’s incident. What if they provoked some lunatic again and the big boss wasn’t around?

The little assistant, slightly calmed down by her scolding, hung her head, looking guilty, and said in a low voice, “I’m sorry, Estelle, I was too agitated just now.”

“What happened?” Estelle wanted to know even more what could have made her so agitated that she rushed into the meeting room to find her.

The little assistant suddenly looked up, her tone anxious again, “It’s the journalists, lots of them called me about scheduling interviews. I thought it was strange, so I asked around. It turns out there’s a social media post saying that Rong Yan has an illegitimate son. The media journalists all heard some rumors and came running to book interviews with us!”

Estelle’s heart skipped a beat, and she quickly asked, “How did you respond?”

The assistant answered honestly, “I turned them all away, saying our schedule was completely full.”

Estelle breathed a sigh of relief, nearly scared half to death, “Good, I thought you spoke carelessly.”

“How could I do that? I know this is a big deal, of course, I would check with you first, Estelle, understand the situation before saying anything,” the assistant said in great urgency, “Estelle, with so many media calling, this false news must be making quite a stir. Should we ask the company’s legal department to sue them directly?”

“No!” Estelle reacted without thinking, stopping her!

The little assistant didn’t understand why she would say no, looking puzzled, lips trembling, “Are we going to let the fake news keep spreading? If this continues, it may damage the artist’s reputation and indirectly affect their public image.”

How could Estelle not know this, but she now had to contact Rong Yan and find out the whole story before doing anything!

Because she distinctly remembered, that one time on the set, she saw not only the big boss but also a five-year-old boy.

Before getting clarification, she couldn’t respond rashly, or it could very likely trigger a sequence of problems.

But facing her assistant, she obviously couldn’t reveal the real reason. She had to reassure her, “Don’t worry for now. I will contact Nick Studio and discuss with Mr. Nick how to deal with it. Also, I need to contact Rong Yan; she’s on a day off today, not in the company, but she at least needs to be aware of this.”

She spoke methodically, and even though the assistant felt that issuing an immediate online statement to clarify would be best, she was persuaded by Estelle, “So then…”

Estelle instructed her with composure amid the crisis, “Go outside. If any more journalists call to schedule something, just turn them away like you did before. If you can’t turn them away, transfer the call to my office, I’ll handle it.”

“Okay. I understand, Estelle. I’ll head out then.”

“Go on.”

Estelle nodded, and the assistant left first.
