Since "Guan Xiaotong and related milk tea companies were sued" rushed to Weibo hot search, the milk tea shop issued a statement late at night on the 6th, saying that it was only after watching the news that it was sued, and found that the news was too far from the facts, and specially explained: "Ms. Guan Xiaotong is not the subject of the contract and has not participated in the company's operation and management work."

After the accident: it's not my business", "When making money, why don't you say it doesn't matter, when an accident occurs, you will push it clean", "Every time you do the event promotion, the store manager Guan Xiaotong please drink milk tea, there are many stars to support her to open a store... But some fans retorted that "Guan Xiaotong is not involved in business management, black and white are here" and "This is just a contract dispute that has not yet been decided, and has no relationship with the spokesperson".
