The attic connects the past and present; I became a tycoon and got rich overnight!

Chapter 21 If you're going to get beaten, stand at attention, or even kneel down!

As night fell, Song Youan had just drifted off to sleep when she was suddenly awakened by a series of chaotic noises.

She quickly sat up and listened carefully. Among the sounds were stones colliding, sawing wood, wheels rolling over grass, footsteps, and voices all mixed together. Just by listening to the sounds, she could tell that things were very busy.

The sound came from above her head. Song You'an frowned. Was it from the attic?
As she left the room and went up the stairs on one side, the sounds became clearer. The attic door was tightly closed, and she put her ear close to listen.

"Be careful, don't damage this warehouse. Lord Yang instructed that this warehouse must be left intact."

“Tear down and rebuild all the walls. The owner of the house instructed that the walls should be built high. Also, dig up all the trees that are in the way.”

"Hey! What are you guys doing? Can you burn these weeds in the yard? What if they catch fire? Drag them all outside and burn them!"

One man's voice was particularly loud, clearly that of a professional supervisor.

It turned out that the people from the House of the House were working overnight to repair her house, and they could hear everything clearly through the door of the attic.

'Squeak—'

Immediately afterwards, the sound of a wooden door being pulled open rang out. Song You'an subconsciously took two steps back, because she felt that the door to the storeroom had been opened.

"Cough cough cough..."

A man coughed and said, "Damn all this dust. What's the point of keeping this dilapidated warehouse? We might as well tear it down and build a new one."

The overseer glanced at the dilapidated warehouse under the cover of darkness; it was empty except for dirt and dust.

Song You'an heard clearly and finally felt relieved. The door to the storeroom could only take her back to the villa. Similarly, if someone else opened the door to the villa's attic, they should only see the attic and not Da Zhao.

"Don't slack off, complete the task by the deadline, and Lord Yang will reward you."

"Li Tou, it seems that Lord Yang is taking special care of the new owner of this house. Usually, a job like this would not be completed in half a month."

"That's right, this manor is so dilapidated, it's almost like we have to rebuild a house from scratch."

"Why so much nonsense? It's just a small house with two courtyards and two entrances, and you're already complaining? We haven't shortchanged you on your night shift wages, and you even get a bonus after the job is done. You should be secretly happy."

After listening for a while, Song Youan could tell that the foreman was very serious and responsible, so she returned to her room with peace of mind.

The noise overhead was so loud that she couldn't fall asleep. It was also very difficult to get a taxi in the suburbs at this time. After tossing and turning, she went to sleep on the sofa in the living room. Although the noise was still there, it was much quieter, even though it was three floors away.

When Song Youan woke up the next day, she picked up her phone and saw a thick layer of missed calls and unread messages, as well as unread messages from various apps.

I opened WeChat and saw messages from Cheng Muzi, university classmates and teachers, and the class group chat was also buzzing.

My chat window with Mu Zi was pinned to the top, so I clicked on it first.

8:15 AM [Yuan, you released the recording? You have over a thousand comments on Douyin!]

8:27 AM [I looked at the comments; some people don't believe it at all, but most still believe in you and support you!]

8:51 AM [Yuan, your headline is trending! Wake up!]

Attached is a screenshot of a trending topic: "QG's Rebirth: They Plagiarized My Design, I Exposed Them."
Only half of the title is displayed because it is too long.

9:14 AM [You're trending at number one! Song Youan, you're famous!]

9:22 AM [QG's PR team is back at work, issuing a statement denying the allegations and saying they'll pursue the matter to the end, sending you a lawyer's letter!]

Attached is a screenshot of the response announcement without an official seal.

Song Youan didn't continue reading, but briefly glanced at the messages sent by her classmates and teachers.

Some classmates came to gossip and verify the truth of the matter;
[Wow, Song Youan, is that really you?]

[Does Gu Xiaoman really want to use your design?]

[That's so stingy! Such a big company only offers you 100,000? But aren't you really interested in that formal offer? That's QG!]...

But most of the students sent their care and support.

This is disgusting, Yuan! It should be exposed! I support you!

[Yuan, you're amazing! I probably wouldn't have dared to do that. I couldn't help but tremble when I heard the other person's threats in the recording. You're so brave!]

[Keep going, Yuan! Our seniors from the same college have experienced similar things before. I thought it was an isolated incident at the time, but I didn't expect it to be the norm in this industry. It's disgusting!]

She also received comfort from her teachers at school, who reminded her to be careful about her safety.

Opening Weibo, Douyin, and Red Book, the background messages were in an uproar. Song Youan didn't have time to read them, but instead clicked on the trending topics list, where related terms occupied the top three spots.

TOP1: Rebirth of QG – They Tried to Plagiarize My Design, I Exposed Them! [Explosive]

TOP2: The fashion world has collapsed [Hot]

TOP3: QG responds to trending topic, announcement lacks official seal [Trending]

Dare you accuse her of fabricating the recording and taking things out of context? And you're going to send her a lawyer's letter?

Song Youan wasn't afraid at all. She directly opened her phone's photo album and strung together screenshots of taking a ride-hailing service to the interview yesterday, photos taken in front of the QG building, photos taken at the front desk and the meeting room entrance, and finally, a screenshot of taking a ride-hailing service when leaving. She then posted the photos as a timeline.

The ride-hailing app displays the exact time, and the photo app she usually uses also has a built-in time display function, with each photo showing the time down to the second.

In addition, yesterday's audio and video recordings also showed the time, making the entire timeline as complete as could be.

The title is also incredibly bold: Stand up straight when you're about to get hit; if it's QG, you can kneel down!
Due to the trending topic effect, as soon as this post was published, the comment section was instantly flooded with countless netizens showing their support.

Holy crap, this woman is so cool, I love her!

[Damn capitalism, sister is awesome!]

[The blogger even posted photos of the meeting room entrance, and QG just released a response without an official seal to fool the public?]

[The timing perfectly matches the recording time; this woman is incredibly cautious!]

……

As Song Youan was browsing her private messages, the phone rang.

"Hey."

"Ms. Song, this is the legal department of QG Group. We demand that you immediately delete the inappropriate comments about our company made online, otherwise..."

drop--

Song Youan hung up the phone immediately.

The other side relentlessly attacked again.

"Hey."

"Ms. Song, if you do not delete the comments online within ten minutes, our company will..."

drop--

Song Youan hung up again.

Almost a minute later, the same number called for the third time.

Song Youan answered the call without saying anything more. The other party clearly took a deep breath: "Ms. Song, if there is any misunderstanding, we can sit down and talk it over."
