Chapter 102 He's so angry he's lost his mind.
Half an hour later, Zhou Kanghui came out of the house.
He told the Lin family, "These little devils are troublesome. I won't bother with them. I'll find someone who can handle them."
Grandma Lin laughed and said, "How do you have the county party secretary's phone number?"
Zhou Kanghui: "When I went to the county town, I had tea with him. We got along quite well, so we exchanged contact information."
Of course, the main reason was that he planned to live in Changping for a long time, and An'an also planned to open a pharmaceutical factory here. He wanted to get along well with the local officials so that if he encountered people like the Li family who ran rampant in the village and challenged the law, it would be easier for him to report them.
Grandma Lin naturally didn't believe him, but she didn't say anything. Ming Shi's father might seem unreliable, but when something really happens, he's actually quite sensible and won't act recklessly.
Zhou Kanghui leaned back on the sofa, crossing his legs: "When I was young, so many people encouraged me to gamble, but I didn't go. There's no reason why I should be fooled at over fifty years old."
"Outsiders all say I'm a playboy who only knows how to eat, drink, and have fun, but being a playboy isn't so easy. If you're not careful, you can get dragged into a trap. Take the third brother, for example. If he could learn even a fraction of what I do, he wouldn't have been swindled out of his entire fortune."
At this point, he looked at Lin Yi'an and said, "An'an, from now on, I'll only play cards in the village and won't play with outsiders. Let's not tell Mingshi about this?"
Lin Yi'an smiled, thinking to himself that Zhou Mingyuan was actually the most like him, otherwise he wouldn't have been fooled by Sun Yurong for more than 20 years without realizing it: "Okay, I won't tell him."
Zhou Kanghui felt relieved.
Two days later, Zuo Mingyang brought news that two mahjong parlors in town had been raided.
As for the man who asked Zhou Kanghui to play mahjong, he was naturally investigated as well and no longer had time to gamble with Zhou Kanghui.
Lin Yi'an stayed in Changping for two days. Seeing that there was nothing else to do, she prepared to return to the capital the day after tomorrow.
That morning, there were many patients, so Lin Yi'an helped out in the downstairs clinic and was busy all morning.
Around noon, Zhou Kanghui returned and sat on the sofa outside watching videos when Zhou Jia sent him a video.
He frowned and muttered, "What is this girl sending me now?"
But I still clicked on the video.
In the video, Mingshi is asleep on the sofa, and a young and beautiful girl is gently covering him with a blanket...
Upon seeing this, he suddenly stood up and quickly asked Zhou Jia, "Where did you get this video?"
Zhou Jia: "The news about my second brother and that little star is still trending on social media. He just got married, and while his wife was back in Changping, he was having an affair with that little star."
"The celebrity's fans are all speculating that their idol is going to marry into a wealthy family. Ha, I wonder what my second sister-in-law's reaction would be if she saw this news..."
Zhou Kanghui scolded, "Don't talk nonsense. Your second brother isn't the type to act recklessly. There must be some misunderstanding here."
He watched the video again. The female celebrity in the video looked familiar; she seemed to be an artist from Quan Zisong's company.
He then checked the comments and learned that it was Quan Zisong's birthday last night, and Ming Shi must have gone to celebrate with him.
He was swearing and cursing. Why did he have to call the company's artists over for his birthday? What a troublemaker.
Thinking of this, he started looking through his phone to see if he had Quan Zisong's phone number, but after searching for a long time, he still couldn't find his contact information.
Just as she was about to call Assistant Chen, Lin Yi'an's phone rang on the coffee table.
He looked over and saw that the caller ID showed Ming Shi. He instinctively picked up the phone and turned it off.
I turned off my phone and hid it in a drawer.
You brat, the topic is still trending online, why are you contacting An'an? Do you want to make An'an angry?
At the Zhou Group headquarters in the capital, Zhou Mingshi, unable to get through to Lin Yi'an on the phone, put down his phone and looked at Secretary Shen, asking, "What is the public relations department doing? Why hasn't the trending topic been removed yet?"
Secretary Shen: "It's already being withdrawn. Since you don't want to reveal your identity, how should the statement be issued?"
Zhou Mingshi dialed Quan Zisong's number with a stern face.
Upon seeing his call, Quan Zisong felt incredibly guilty. As soon as he saw the trending topic, he summoned the celebrity and berated her. She was incredibly audacious, daring to scheme against the president of the Zhou Group. Even though she was the company's top star, he couldn't protect her.
He forced himself to answer the phone: "Mingshi, this is my fault..."
Zhou Mingshi: "I will have Secretary Shen send you the statement, and you and your employee can post it online together."
Quan Zisong gave a bitter smile, knowing that he had truly angered Ming Shi this time.
Ming Shi has always kept a low profile; you won't see him in entertainment news, or even financial news, let alone this kind of scandalous news...
Now we can only do whatever he says, hoping he'll calm down quickly. He said, "Okay."
Zhou Mingshi: "All related expenses were borne by that person."
Quan Zisong: "That's natural."
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Mingshi glanced at Secretary Chen and said, "I'll tell you, you write it."
Secretary Shen quickly sat down in front of the computer.
Half an hour later, Quan Zisong received a statement from Secretary Shen. After reading the contents, he smiled bitterly again, realizing that Ming Shi was really angry this time.
If this statement is released, Liu Xinyue, this top influencer, will be finished.
He sighed and called over Liu Xinyue and her agent.
The two women arrived quickly. He printed out the statement, stamped it, and handed it to them: "Send it out."
Upon seeing the content, Liu Xinyue's face paled: "President Quan, this... this can't be sent out! If it's sent out, how will I ever be able to face anyone?"
Quan Zisong was furious: "Did you take advantage of the fact that the person was asleep and the assistant wasn't around, and secretly covered the person with a coat?"
Liu Xinyue's body tensed, and she pursed her lips without saying a word.
Quan Zisong: "Did he get woken up by you and throw his clothes away because he was annoyed that you touched them?"
A flash of shame and indignation crossed Liu Xinyue's eyes. Was she some kind of filthy thing?
She merely touched his clothes, and he threw them away?
She could already imagine how netizens would make fun of her after the statement was released.
Quan Zisong then asked, "Did you have someone release this video?"
Liu Xinyue: "I..."
Quan Zisong interrupted her: "Don't tell me it wasn't you who posted it, so you said something wrong?"
Liu Xinyue said, "President Quan, could you please put in a good word for me with President Zhou? I've made so much money for the company, please consider..."
Quan Zisong: "They're already married. You should keep your thoughts to yourself."
Liu Xinyue's agent pursed her lips and said, "It wasn't Xinyue who posted it. Her TV series is about to air, and we just wanted to create some hype..." The video was posted by her assistant, who is Xinyue's younger brother. She didn't know if Xinyue knew about it when her assistant posted the video, but whether she knew or not, it didn't matter if her brother posted it or she posted it; she had to protect Xinyue.
"Does it matter whether she posted it herself or not?" Quan Zisong's chest ached with anger. "Are you guys pigs? You can't even find the right person to hype things up? Who would believe you if you said that?"
Liu Xinyue's eyes flickered.
Quan Zisong: "Go and issue a statement immediately and honestly admit your mistake, otherwise no one can save you."
He had barely finished speaking when Secretary Shen sent him another document.
He clicked on it and looked at Liu Xinyue: "This matter started because of you. They want you to pay for public relations expenses, reputational damage, emotional distress, lost wages, and compensation for infringement of portrait rights. You should use all the money you've earned over the years to pay for it. The company won't give you a single penny."
"Wait, why are there also compensation for lost wages and emotional distress?"
When Liu Xinyue saw the long list of compensation amounts, she felt dizzy. Did all these rich young men have so many tricks up their sleeves?
Quan Zisong: "Their work has been delayed because of this, and the couple might even argue. Do you think they should compensate for these two expenses?"
Liu Xinyue didn't say anything more.
Quan Zisong: "Then, if you don't post the statement, the company will log into your account and post it for you. Not only will you post it, but I will post it too."
Liu Xinyue didn't expect the other party to react so strongly. It was just covering him with a coat, and nothing substantial had happened.
Even if this video goes viral, it's not like it's done anything too outrageous, is it?
She saw him asleep and covered him with a blanket out of kindness, so why should she have to pay so much in compensation?
She thought that even if the other party was angry, they would go easy on him out of respect for President Quan. Unexpectedly, the other party did not give President Quan, her childhood friend, any face at all.
After explaining the situation, Zhou Mingshi continued to call Lin Yi'an, but her phone remained switched off.
Assistant Chen suggested from the side, "Should we call Assistant Ye or your uncle and aunt to ask?"
Zhou Mingshi paused, then rubbed his temples: "You're confused from anger."
After saying that, he dialed Ye Lingzhi's number again, but no one answered.
He put down his phone, not intending to call his parents-in-law again, and looked up to say, "Send a text to Quan Zisong, and tell him not to invite me to any of his banquets in the future."
Assistant Chen: "Okay."
It seems that President Quan has really angered President Zhou this time. But if you ask him, President Quan deserves it. Doesn't he know what kind of people are in his own company?
Why are you all invited to a birthday party?
Like a peacock, he couldn't wait to announce to the world that he had grown another year older.
Zhou Mingshi then asked Secretary Shen, "I recall there are no important events scheduled for tomorrow?"
Secretary Shen: "I have no important schedules tomorrow or the day after."
Zhou Mingshi stood up and instructed Assistant Chen, "Pack your things, we're going to Changping now."
Assistant Chen: "...Okay."
