"No matter how much, I'll pay it back one day." Li Ruhan smiled. "And, to be honest, in this business, as long as you're a little bit popular, you can make money quickly. Even if it's 10 or 20 million, it's easy to make. Why should I worry about not being able to pay it back? Besides, you can arrange a job for me so that I can pay it back."

After calculating this way, Li Ruhan felt that it would be better to owe some money.

Sister Hu smiled and said, "Okay, since you can think so clearly, I can let go and contact you."

However, Sister Hu never expected that she would actually successfully contact Lu Man through someone else.

Lu Man didn't refuse the PR request, she just asked what it was about.

As a result, by the time Sister Hu brought it up, the conversation was over.

Lu Man didn't even wait for her to finish her story before flatly refusing.

Sister Hu: “…”

"Can I ask why? You just agreed to listen to me, which shows that you are still willing to continue." Sister Hu asked, "But why did you suddenly refuse?"

"Besides, this case should be very simple for you, not difficult at all."

"It's not difficult, it's even very simple. But the Tan Jinsheng you're talking about is my friend," Lu Man said.

Even though she had never met Tan Jinsheng.

But Tan Mo is her friend, so Tan Mo's brother is naturally her friend too.

"How could I possibly help someone else deal with my friend?" Lu Man smiled. "You can always find another colleague to handle this matter. Then I'll have to help my friend. Do you think I'll lose?"

Sister Hu felt a tightness in her chest and almost hung up the phone.

She hadn't expected that Li Ruhan would end up offending Lu Man's friend with just a casual provoke.

"No, I won't," Sister Hu said bitterly, "Who in the industry can rival you? I won't waste my money on this."

After hanging up the phone, Sister Hu called Li Ruhan again.

Li Ruhan didn't expect Sister Hu to reply so quickly.

"Sister Hu, how's it going? Have you contacted Lu Man?" Li Ruhan asked expectantly.

"We've made contact." Sister Hu said in a deep voice.

"What did she say?" Li Ruhan's heart sank.

It probably didn't work, otherwise Sister Hu wouldn't have such a low tone.

"She didn't agree." Sister Hu said lightly.

"Why?" Li Ruhan asked, "How about I go and ask her in person? Wouldn't that be more sincere? She's not taking any cases right now, and she really doesn't need this little money. I can only impress her with my sincerity."

"Don't waste your time," Sister Hu said. "At first, Lu Man wanted to take the job, but when she heard me say I was going to deal with Tan Jinsheng, she refused without even listening to me. She also said I could find someone else, but if I did, she would help Tan Jinsheng. It all depended on whether she would lose."

"Lose?" Sister Hu seemed to have heard something funny. "Since she started in the industry, when has she ever lost? Every case she's taken on has become a PR classic, taught in universities and collected and studied by major PR firms. We study every case she takes on, and you can't beat her."

"So, let's just stop wasting our time and energy. Finding another public relations person will only be a waste of money. Even if you have money, you won't use it this way, not to mention that you don't have any money." Sister Hu sneered.

"Why? Why doesn't she want to answer?" Li Ruhan was anxious.

"Because she said Tan Jinsheng was her friend," Sister Hu said. "Think about Lu Man's friends. Are there any simple ones?"

"Even if Tan Jinsheng happens to share the same surname as Tan Yuejia, his true family is definitely not simple," Sister Hu said solemnly. "Don't forget who Lu Man is. She's Han Zhuoli's wife. Who are the people who can be on good terms with them?"

"Tan Jinsheng is indeed the son of Tan Yuejiaju." Li Ruhan admitted.

She had kept this a secret from Sister Hu.

"Did you know this earlier?" Sister Hu's tone changed and her voice rose two degrees.

"I... I just thought he was the son of Tan Yue Furniture, so I wanted to use him to hype myself up." Li Ruhan stammered, "Who knew he would be so serious and specifically clarify it?"

"There are so many things like this in our circle. Who would come out to clarify it? Everyone will try to avoid suspicion and not have more contact in the future." Li Ruhan didn't expect that this would be taken so seriously.

"But you just happened to run into me. What can I do? You're quite courageous." Sister Hu didn't know what to say. "In this circle, being bold can be both a good and a bad thing. It's true that being bold makes you more successful, but you should at least understand the other person's personality first!"

"Look at it now. He is the son of the Tan Yue family. Even if we want to plead for him, there is nothing we can do. What benefits can we offer that would be worthy of his attention?" Sister Hu said angrily.

"I'm really worried, afraid I'll be eliminated in just two episodes." Li Ruhan regretted it terribly. "Those guests are more troublemaking than the last. If I don't think of a solution, what's my chance?"

"I finally got the opportunity to be on this show, and I didn't want to leave without getting anything. Because time was tight, I didn't have time to plan carefully and just acted rashly."

"There's no point in saying this now," Sister Hu said irritably. "You're already prepared to pay Lu Mann for PR. Even if you can't spend that money now, it can still be put to other uses."

"What?" Li Ruhan was stunned.

Then I heard Sister Hu say, "Judging from your voting results, you've lost a lot of popularity. If you still want to stay on the show, spend money to buy Tan Yue's stuff in exchange for tickets. We're such a big company, we have plenty of people. If everyone casts five votes, I can't say we can push you to the front, but at least we can guarantee you won't be eliminated."

"You've secured your spot and can continue competing. From now on, don't even think about getting close to Tan Jinsheng on the show. Furthermore, you need to stay away from him," Sister Hu warned. "Since you posted a clarification on Weibo today, regardless of whether netizens believe it or not, you've acted like you were framed and that this matter has nothing to do with you. So, from now on, at least in front of the camera, you can't actively approach Tan Jinsheng."

"Pretend to be evasive and prove the authenticity of your Weibo statement today. Tell others that you really mean it," said Sister Hu. "Then try to boost your popularity by establishing a different persona. Even if you're eliminated later, at least you'll have gained some fans and a bit of popularity."

"It depends on whether you want to do it or not," said Sister Hu. "If you're not willing to spend money to buy tickets, then you'll be eliminated. How will you work in the future?"
