Chapter 87 The Battlefield of Argument

After Zhou Ping'an finished explaining to Li Zhibai, he was about to leave when he glanced at Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang standing beside him and said, "You two should also stay home for the next couple of days. They all know you're Li Zhibai's teammates."

It just so happens that tomorrow is the weekend, and they had no objections and nodded.

Zhou Ping'an left, seemingly to give them instructions.

Li Zhibai clicked his tongue, smiled wryly, and said, "I'm sorry, I've dragged you all into this."

This statement was made with a self-deprecating tone.

"It's okay, you can order Xu Jilai's takeout tomorrow to make up for it," Lu Yanhe said. "It's been a long time since we've had it."

Yan Liang looked at Lu Yanhe with confusion, wondering why Lu Yanhe would try to take advantage of Li Zhibai at this time.

Li Zhibai smiled.

"Okay, I can still afford to hire Xu Jilai for takeout."

"I'm going to do my live-streamed study session now, bye-bye." Lu Yanhe nodded to them. "Yan Liang cooked the meal, so you can wash the dishes."

Just as Yan Liang was about to say he could wash the dishes, he suddenly heard Li Zhibai coldly sneer, "Yan Liang cooks, I wash the dishes, so what are you doing?"

Lu Yanhe chuckled and said, "I'll take care of extorting money from you."

Li Zhibai: "..."

He turned to Yan Liang and said, "Does this guy deserve a beating?"

Yan Liang: "Don't be angry with him. I don't know if he took the wrong medicine today. It's okay, I'll do the dishes."

Li Zhibai waved his hand: "I'll do it. Damn it, that bastard Lu Yanhe, if it weren't for the fact that he's a senior in high school, I would have beaten him up."

Seeing Li Zhibai's renewed spirits, Yan Liang suddenly understood Lu Yanhe's actions.

"..."

Lu Yanhe's live stream was as unremarkable as ever.

However, the liveliness of the comments section is increasing day by day.

It's strange, perhaps because Lu Yanhe's live stream didn't change much most of the time, so many people were focused on commenting in the chat, and some even started chatting, just like the old-fashioned group chats between strangers.

He Lan was astonished as she watched the comments section filled with people talking about the dramas they were watching, the celebrities they were fans of, and all sorts of bizarre things they had encountered.

There's an inexplicable feeling of prosperity and growth.

The number of viewers in the live stream remained stable between 1,500 and 2,000 today, without any significant fluctuations.

Of course, no more lavish gifts were given.

Lu Yanhe added a special suffix to his live stream: "Reward rationally, avoid impulsive spending, the streamer is stingy and will not refund."

Helan couldn't help but laugh when she saw it.

Suddenly, someone mentioned in the comments: It seems that Lu Yanhe's "Little Song Gathering" will be broadcast on Sunday. Will you watch it?

Upon seeing this comment, He Lan immediately searched for it and, sure enough, the program's official announcement revealed that Lu Yanhe would be featured in this Sunday's episode.

Wow!

Helan was overjoyed at that moment.

Since she met Lu Yanhe, she has never seen him on any TV shows. There are some of his past appearances online, but to be honest, they weren't very good.

He Lan felt that this was not the Lu Yanhe she knew.

The real Lu Yanhe... is actually a very sunny person.

He Lan always believed that as long as Lu Yanhe had the opportunity to be seen by more people, it would definitely change everyone's impression of him.

In the live stream, Lu Yanhe had no idea what everyone was talking about.

Once he starts learning, he stays focused and dedicated.

Before he transmigrated, Lu Yanhe had already developed this habit: if he couldn't concentrate fully on doing something, it was better to stop and not do it at all.

He once spent an entire day sitting at his desk, reading and doing exercises, but the results were terrible; he spent most of the time just spacing out.

To force himself to concentrate, Lu Yanhe used a method to break down his study tasks into smaller tasks, leaving a 15-minute break between each task, and setting a completion time for each task. Once completed, he could rest; if not, he would continue working on it.

This method is quite effective in improving one's concentration.

Of course, this is also based on the fact that he himself wanted to improve his concentration.

If you don't have this idea, it's all in vain no matter how many methods you come up with.

Around 10:30 p.m., someone spoke in Lu Yanhe's live stream, saying: "Have you seen the news about Li Zhibaijia?"

Someone immediately asked: Who is Li Zhibai?

When Helan looked up at the comments section, she found that someone had already introduced who Li Zhibai was and posted details of what had happened to Li Zhibai's family in the comments.

The phrase "forcing someone to jump off a building" is obviously an extremely eye-catching term in the online world.

Everyone started discussing this, completely forgetting whose live stream it was.

After Helan noticed this, she was somewhat surprised and searched for it online.

There are quite a few reports and discussions about this matter online.

Although the official report deliberately omitted the deceased's name, some resourceful individuals still managed to find his specific information and even described in great detail why he jumped from the building.

"Zhou Siqi was in charge of a real estate project for Ruishi Group. He had previously served as an assistant to Li Rui (the CEO of Ruishi Group and Li Zhibai's father) and was one of Li Rui's confidants. However, this time the project he was in charge of had great hidden dangers. It is said that it was secretly investigated a month ago. Apparently, there were big problems with the source and flow of project funds, and there was suspicion of money laundering. The matter could not be covered up, and Ruishi Group needed someone to take the blame. So Zhou Siqi was forced to jump off the building under these circumstances."

This account is written in great detail, and with someone also posting information about Li Rui and his wife leaving the country a few days ago, many people suspect that they have fled to avoid punishment.

The internet is full of people defending Zhou Siqi, cursing Li Rui as an evil capitalist, and then extending that hatred to Li Zhibai, telling him to get out of the entertainment industry.

Li Zhibai has become a trending topic.

There was a chorus of curses.

He has many fans, and many have expressed their belief in Li Zhibai and are waiting for the results of the police investigation.

However, such remarks have no credibility in the current public opinion environment and will only be regarded as the words of a "brainless fan".

Helan sighed softly.

No one can say that Li Zhibai suffered an undeserved disaster, but Helan felt that Li Zhibai was actually innocent.

Two of the brands that Li Zhibai endorses have already deleted all posts related to him, but they haven't terminated the endorsement relationship—they're probably still waiting for further news.

There is still no definitive conclusion regarding what exactly happened when the man jumped off the building on Thursday, or whether the rumors circulating online are true or false.

When He Lan returned to Lu Yanhe's live stream, she found that the chat room was in an argument.

Li Zhibai's fans and some people in the live stream chat were hurling insults at each other in the comments section, using very offensive language.

He Lan was immediately anxious, not wanting to see Lu Yanhe's live stream turn into a battlefield for other people's arguments.
