Regardless of whether Li Xi truly regrets or is pretending to regret, the huge gossip that was not revealed until the later stages of the original novel has been known to an unrelated person.

But he couldn't tell Luo Jingxuan this, and he couldn't even share such explosive gossip with him. Not to mention that Luo Jingxuan wasn't one to listen to gossip. One of the people involved was his blood cousin, and even if their relationship was tenuous, he wouldn't be happy for him to expose such a scandal.

So Li Xi just smiled awkwardly, made a few prevarication remarks, and then said goodbye and returned to her room.

After that day, Li Xi became unexpectedly busy. Besides following up on the "Tian Liang Wang Po" incident, she also needed to sort out the negative information surrounding Lin Yuanzhou and plan the pace of its exposure. The information package Su Yuan had provided was comprehensive, encompassing not only the negative information about Lin Yuanzhou but also the cause and course of the incident, including screenshots of the negative comments from netizens.

Li Xi felt relieved, yet also slightly apprehensive, at the same time, when she received this information. It wasn't that she was afraid Su Yuan was plotting against her, but rather that Su Yuan's control was stronger than she'd imagined. Even if it was her own artist, even if she was her mistress, Su Yuan kept such detailed records of their negative information. It was clear that he had never trusted Lin Yuanzhou from the start and was wary of him.

No wonder, in the original novel, the day after Lin Yuanzhou "framed" Su Yuan, negative information about him started flying everywhere, and it was the kind of negative information that was sure to be exposed.

Having decided to give up on Lin Yuanzhou, Su Yuan decisively instructed Lin Yuanzhou's agent to suspend all of his upcoming announcements. The agent, a seasoned veteran of the entertainment industry, was well-versed in reading people's expressions. As soon as Su Yuan gave the order, he knew Lin Yuanzhou was being dropped, though for some reason, the news couldn't be made public for the time being. As for whether Lin Yuanzhou could be made aware of it himself, the agent's speculation was irrelevant.

However, considering that Lin Yuanzhou still had a recorded program that hadn't aired yet, he couldn't let him cause trouble. His agent decisively helped Lin Yuanzhou sign up for a study course that required seclusion. After reporting it through the ranks and receiving the boss's "approval," the agent breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that his choice was the right one.

Knowing his approach met his boss's expectations, the next steps were simple. He discussed previously agreed-upon resources with the brand and, if feasible, allocated them to others; otherwise, suspended the collaboration. He contacted the project leaders for any projects Lin Yuanzhou was currently involved in, instructing them to prepare a replacement plan. He also turned down any projects that were interested in collaborating with Lin Yuanzhou, and inquired whether they would accept other artists under Yuan Yin Entertainment.

Of course, this operation was kept secret from the person himself, and no one else was informed. Others who received resources that originally belonged to Lin Yuanzhou would only think that Lin Yuanzhou had a better piece of cake, and the agent gave these ordinary pieces of cake to others.

In this way, the company subtly put Lin Yuanzhou on ice without his knowledge.

The reason her agent speculated couldn't be made public was actually Li Xi. Didn't she accidentally stumble onto a recording of "Happy Inn"? While she wasn't a regular guest or a celebrity, the final edit wouldn't feature much of her, and netizens wouldn't necessarily want to see it. But having participated and signed a release for her image rights, it would be a shame not to air it.

If negative information about Lin Yuanzhou were to surface at this point, the show would undoubtedly be affected, potentially even being canceled. Li Xi isn't particularly narcissistic, nor does she crave fame, but it was something she had experienced, and it held a special place in her heart. From her perspective, she still hopes the trip will end on a good note.

As for whether the episode would be deleted by the platform after it aired, or whether there would be negative reviews on the production team's Weibo account, that was beyond Li Xi's control. And honestly, she didn't really care. Lin Yuanzhou's downfall was inevitable, even if it wasn't his own exposure, because of Su Yuan. From the moment "Happy Inn" was coerced into accepting Lin Yuanzhou by capital, this was destined to happen. Li Xi simply brought it forward.

Moreover, in Li Xi's opinion, early exposure is not necessarily a disaster for the production team. At least in the next few episodes, the production team can change the guests and start to build reputation again.

If, like the original series, Lin Yuanzhou's reputation was ruined after this season's recording, the show would essentially be ruined. Even if Lin Yuanzhou's scenes were deleted, the lost reputation would be difficult to regain, and the possibility of a second season would be in doubt.

Now, Lin Yuanzhou has been eliminated early, and there are only a few episodes left of "Happy Inn". It is completely possible to replace him with someone with greater traffic or better reputation to turn the tide and maintain the reputation that the program team has worked hard to build.

The wait for the show wasn't long. After all, Li Xi had a lot to do, like wrapping up "Tian Liang Wang Po" properly. After snatching food from the tiger's mouth, this one-sided crushing drama wasn't much to watch. Having lost several major projects in succession and with several partners withdrawing their investments, Wang's cash flow had long been a problem.

After another water meter inspection (although Wang's company is mainly managed by professional managers, there are inevitably some relatives and friends in the top management, and their actions are not very upright. The current head of the family values ​​personal relationships more and usually turns a blind eye. It is obvious that Wang's company cannot withstand the water meter inspection), the only outcome for Wang's company is bankruptcy liquidation.

Li Xi had no intention of stirring up conflict among netizens. After all, the incident had already drawn the attention of those who were just looking for fun, lamenting the novel's reflection on reality, and sympathizing with the workers who had been unjustly implicated. While Li Xi and Su Yu would do their bit to guide public opinion, they couldn't withstand the spontaneous online discussion, which had sparked heated arguments within a small circle, with some even arguing with the police by arguing for an offline brawl.
