Chapter 16 explains everything clearly.
There's no rush to talk to Yu Jiu about the Black Mansion.
Luo Jiayin didn't get much rest during the day, was harassed twice by sasaeng fans at night, filmed all night, and then caused a ruckus in the Jingting after returning.
As dawn was approaching, Luo Jiayin crawled into bed, intending to get a good night's sleep.
She habitually tucked her phone under her pillow, but after thinking about how Sister Mei might need to talk to her about work during the day, she ultimately refrained from putting it on silent.
…………
Not only Luo Jiayin, but also Yu Jiu, President Wang, and everyone at Jingting Entertainment slept very well.
Before leaving, General Manager Wang specially gave the colleagues who came to work overtime the next day off, and also paid them overtime pay at triple the normal rate.
Therefore, the employees of Jingting were quite happy and had no complaints about being called in to work overtime in the middle of the night.
Some are happy while others are sad.
Early in the morning, Feng Xu was still sound asleep when he was disturbed by a barrage of urgent phone calls.
When the phone rang for the ninth time, Feng Xu cursed, resisting the urge to smash it, and picked it up.
He tilted his head, held up his phone, and forced his right eye to open a crack.
The instant Feng Xu saw the words "General Manager Lin" on the caller ID, he felt that he must have woken up...
Feng Xu blinked hard a few times, trying to quickly clear his mind, then took a deep breath and answered the phone.
"Feng Xu!! What is Gu Yishen doing? And what are you doing again! Look at that Weibo post he made, why didn't you stop him then! If you don't want to work here anymore, then get out!"
Lin Heisei's roar made Feng Xu's head buzz. He reflexively moved the phone far away from his ear and then quickly pressed the speakerphone button.
Lin Pingcheng cursed and demanded a reasonable explanation from Feng Xu. Feng Xu quickly reviewed the explanation Gu Yishen had given him in his mind, and when Lin Pingcheng fell silent, he spoke up.
"President Lin, didn't you watch Luo Jia's live stream last night?" Feng Xu asked Lin Heping, feigning surprise.
Lin Heisei was also taken aback when he heard Feng Xu's words: "What live stream?"
Feng Xu breathed a huge sigh of relief, thinking that Brother Shen was indeed incredibly insightful!
Surprisingly, no one at Sega seemed to have paid attention to what happened to Loka.
Feng Xu felt much more at ease. He spoke again, his tone tinged with indignation.
"President Lin, you have no idea how reckless Luo Jia is."
"After he posted a long article to clarify yesterday, some netizens questioned him in the comments, and this guy immediately started a live broadcast to respond to the matter."
"No wonder he's an actor; that kid defended himself so convincingly and sincerely!"
"At the time, the whole internet was praising that kid, so Brother Shen posted that Weibo."
It's just that Gu Yishen isn't by Feng Xu's side right now; otherwise, even Gu Yishen would probably be praising him right now.
When you defended yourself, you were quite articulate and sincere; you have the makings of a good actor.
"Can't you just pretend nothing's wrong? Isn't Gu Yishen the one who loves playing the aloof, unapproachable card? He's so cold and aloof, always keeping quiet about things that don't concern him!"
Clearly, Feng Xu's explanation did not quell Lin Heicheng's anger; he was still extremely displeased that Gu Yishen had stood up for Luo Jiaqiang.
Feng Xu was already confident, but he still pretended to be cautious and said timidly in a low voice, "President Lin, Brother Shen is also considering the company's interests..."
Lin Heicheng was furious and about to unleash a torrent of abuse on Feng Xu.
Feng Xu didn't give him a chance, and instead "timidly" added, "Have you forgotten? In a couple of days, Brother Shen will be participating in that variety show, and the production team has invited Luo Jia for this episode..."
As expected, Lin Heisei fell silent after hearing this.
He carefully considered the cost-effectiveness of Gu Yishen doing this.
With the show about to premiere, taking advantage of the buzz surrounding Luo Jia's obsessive fans and then participating in the same variety show with Luo Jia would definitely attract a significant amount of attention.
"His intentions were good, but given Gu Yishen's own popularity and fame, there's no need for him to try and piggyback on Luo Jia's fame."
Actually, Lin Heisei had already calmed down by now, but he was still a little unwilling to accept that the half-cooked duck had escaped.
"President Lin, I know the company wants to poach Luo Jia, but have you forgotten that when Luo Jia first got into trouble, you had your PR team post on Weibo saying that Sega has zero tolerance for tainted artists?"
"Although if Luo Jia really comes, our PR skills can clear his name, it's still a bad thing for Sega to embarrass itself like this..."
Feng Xu painstakingly persuaded Lin Heping, putting on an act of "we're all doing this for the good of the company."
Lin Heicheng listened to Feng Xu's words and felt that something was wrong, but upon closer inspection, it seemed to make some sense.
After all, in Lin Heicheng's view, Feng Xu was a member of the company and didn't have the guts to collude with Gu Yishen to play tricks on the company.
Moreover, both Luo Jia's subsequent actions and the online public opinion are things that are out in the open.
Whether it's true or not, you can find out by going online; you can't lie about it.
From this perspective, Gu Yishen's Weibo post was quite worthwhile.
But Luo Jia was really lucky this time; the house didn't collapse.
And that lousy company, Jingting Entertainment, actually managed to do some effective public relations this time. It's like a blind cat catching a dead mouse.
After clarifying the matter, Lin Hesheng gave Feng Xu a few token instructions and then hung up the phone.
As for his earlier assurances to Lao Meng and the others that he could handle Luo Jia, he no longer cared about it at all.
After all, no one at Sega dared to really pursue anything with him.
Gu Yishen and Feng Xu also realized that Lin Hecheng didn't really want to bring Luo Jia over, so they came up with this excuse.
Feng Xu checked the time.
Too early...
At this moment, Gu Yishen had probably just fallen asleep, so Feng Xu didn't think about reporting the situation to him.
In any case, Gu Yishen has never miscalculated in his battles of wits with the company.
What's more, while others and fans may not know about this guy's morning grumpiness, Feng Xu knows it all too well!
The "aloof beauty" and "cold on the outside but warm on the inside" persona are all personas! They're all fake!
Gu Yishen, this guy from their family, is actually quite cunning! He's both ruthless and sharp-tongued!
Even an old fox like Hayashi Heisei was completely manipulated by him.
However, he only dared to silently complain in his heart. If Gu Yishen's fans found out, they would curse him so badly that they wouldn't even recognize his own mother.
Feng Xu yawned and fell asleep again.
