Chapter 86 Some Things
This is Zhou Ping'an's biggest headache.
Lu Yanhe suddenly became an artist with a very positive social impact, and even caught the eye of President Hong Qi. If the company rashly kicked him out, not to mention what President Hong would think, public opinion would criticize them to death.
Even Vice President Ma can't take the blame for this.
Fortunately, the hype surrounding this incident has gradually died down, and it's no longer generating much buzz online.
Zhou Ping'an waited for the matter to pass by.
After "Little Song Gathering" and "The Skills of the Workplace," he didn't offer Lu Yanhe any other programs. Any other invitations he received were put aside for two days before the recipients moved on to other shows.
This cannot be done too obviously; it must be done quietly.
Suddenly, his phone rang.
-
After Lu Yanhe finished recording "The Skills of the Workplace," it was already 7 p.m.
He went straight back to Hongfu Residential Area.
To everyone's surprise, a large crowd gathered at the entrance of Hongfu Residential Area. Nobody knew why.
Lu Yanhe was blocked from entering by these people, so he had to go around to another door to enter.
"There are a lot of people blocking the entrance, what's going on?" Lu Yanhe asked as soon as he entered.
Yan Liang made a "shushing" gesture to him.
Lu Yanhe was taken aback.
Yan Liang pointed to the door of Li Zhibai's room.
He walked up to Lu Yanhe and whispered, "Li Zhibai's father's company is in trouble."
"Hmm?" Lu Yanhe asked in confusion, "What happened?"
“He didn’t say, but I saw someone online saying that one of Li Zhibai’s father’s employees jumped off a building,” Yan Liang said. “The people at the entrance of the residential area are the family members of that employee who jumped off the building. They don’t know how they found out that Li Zhibai lived here, so they came over and said that the company must take responsibility for this matter.”
Lu Yanhe was puzzled: "Why would they go to Li Zhibai's father for something like this? Why would they come to Li Zhibai?"
“Li Zhibai’s parents are not in the country, he is the only one here,” Yan Liang said. “We don’t know what’s going on yet. Li Zhibai received a call from his mother, who told him not to go out for the next few days and to wait for the police to find out what happened.”
Lu Yanhe nodded.
He asked, "Have you had dinner yet?"
"Not yet." Yan Liang sighed. "We only received the news half an hour ago and rushed back from the company. We didn't expect to run into those people at the entrance of the community. They were even faster than us."
Lu Yanhe glanced worriedly at Li Zhibai's tightly closed door and said, "Let's have dinner first, I'll make it."
Yan Liang: "I'll do it. You go read your book. I'll call you when it's ready."
Lu Yanhe returned to his room, took out his book, but couldn't calm down.
What impact will this have on Li Zhibai?
Many celebrities are now facing boycotts because of issues related to their families.
If that person jumped off the building because of company problems, then Li Zhibai might really be implicated.
Yan Liang cooked a few dishes and invited them out for dinner.
Lu Yanhe knocked on the door of Li Zhibai's room.
"Let's have dinner first."
Li Zhibai's muffled voice came from inside: "I'm not eating anymore, you guys eat."
Lu Yanhe continued knocking on the door.
“If you don’t eat, we can’t eat either,” he said.
Yan Liang said in a low voice, "If he doesn't want to eat now, then forget it."
We can't let it go.
Lu Yanhe thought to himself, "I can't leave him alone at a time like this."
As expected, Lu Yanhe's words had an effect.
Li Zhibai has emerged.
Annoyance flashed across his face as he said, "Eat."
Lu Yanhe nodded.
He wouldn't say "there's no use in rushing" at this time, but he wouldn't miss a single meal.
"When are your parents coming back?" he asked.
"I've already bought a ticket for the next available flight, but it won't arrive until the morning after tomorrow."
"Well, let's wait a bit. This matter will be resolved when your parents come back," Lu Yanhe said.
Li Zhibai sighed.
"I know the person who jumped off the building."
"Huh?" Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang both looked at him in surprise.
“He used to be my dad’s assistant. Later, he went to work as the head of a project team. When I was a child, he would pick me up and drop me off at school for a while.”
"Then—do you know why he suddenly jumped off the building?" Lu Yanhe asked.
Li Zhibai shook his head: "I haven't had any contact with him since then, and my parents haven't mentioned him either. My parents and I don't keep in touch much these days."
"Let's eat first, no matter what," Lu Yanhe said. "I'm hungry."
Li Zhi nodded a hundred times.
He, who is usually short-tempered and speaks without thinking, was noticeably listless at this moment.
Yan Liang felt uncomfortable watching it, but Lu Yanhe treated it normally.
"I was recording a show today, and the two people I was recording with had a fight." Lu Yanhe recounted the argument between Chen Jiping and Chen Bing.
Yan Liang's attention was drawn to this matter.
"So what happened after that?"
“We re-recorded it, and then acted it out according to the script that the screenwriter had written before,” Lu Yanhe said. “After we finished recording, the two of them left without saying a word.”
Yan Liang sighed and said, "Alas."
Li Zhi asked a hundred questions: "Do you have any more shows to record?"
Lu Yanhe shook his head: "I only received notifications for these two jobs."
"Huh? How could this be?" Yan Liang asked in confusion. "I heard from people at the company that you're very popular now, and that more than a dozen shows have invited you to participate."
"Maybe Zhou Ping'an blocked it for me," Lu Yanhe said. "You all know he doesn't like me."
"Speechless," Li Zhibai said.
Hearing that he finally started to react differently, Lu Yanhe laughed.
"Anyway, I'm already used to it."
The three of them talked about this while eating.
The shadow cast by the incident of someone jumping off a building at Li Zhibai's father's company is gradually dissipating.
The atmosphere relaxed a little.
However, Lu Yanhe himself knew that this was only a temporary measure.
The key is to see what exactly happened.
If it's true that Li Zhibai's father wronged someone and drove them to jump off a building, then the shadow cast by this incident will be infinitely amplified.
The doorbell rang.
Lu Yanhe went to open the door and, looking through the peephole, discovered that the person who came in was Zhou Ping'an.
"Is Li Zhibai here?" Zhou Ping'an asked as soon as he came in.
"exist."
Zhou Pingan came in, glanced at Li Zhibai, sighed, and said, "I already know about your family's situation. Don't go out for the next few days. Just stay here and wait until things are resolved, understand?"
Li Zhibai nodded.
Zhou Pingan hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Have your parents contacted you?"
"They will arrive the day after tomorrow morning."
"That's good." Zhou Ping'an nodded, looking at Li Zhibai with a complicated expression, no longer as warm and affectionate as before. "Sigh, this kind of thing has already been exposed online. We'll have to wait until your parents come back to find out what really happened. Don't go online, and don't confront or argue with those people. It will only cause more trouble and won't solve anything, understand?"
"Um."
