Chapter 160 Settling the Situation
Since the "official announcement," Luo Jiayin has enjoyed a few days of peace and quiet, while Lin Manyi and Sega's situation can only be described as gloomy and miserable.
Lin Heisei summoned Gu Yishen immediately upon receiving the news.
Originally intending to unleash a furious rage, Gu Yishen merely said lightly, "President Lin, if it weren't for such a bombshell, do you think Miss Lin would still be being relentlessly attacked and cursed by netizens all over China right now?"
"You..." Lin Heisei choked.
What Gu Yishen said is true.
"You orchestrated this whole thing to suppress what happened to Manxi? But Luo Jia has always been at odds with Sega. How did you manage to agree to this with him?" Lin Heicheng asked Gu Yishen suspiciously.
Gu Yishen smiled and said, "President Lin, is it possible... that we're really together?"
Upon hearing Gu Yishen's words, Lin Heicheng's face immediately darkened.
What a joke! Gu Yishen is gay, how could he believe that?
Even if Lin Heping is gay, Gu Yishen, that stubborn mule, will never be gay.
It must be that this kid and that bastard Luo Jia reached some kind of agreement behind his back.
However, based on Lin Heicheng's understanding of Gu Yishen, he wasn't afraid that Gu Yishen would collude with Luo Jia to harm Shijia; at most, it would just be for some personal gain.
For example, popularity, trending topics, and traffic.
Celebrities only care about these few things, and they are things that will actually bring them benefits.
Lin Heisei squinted.
From another perspective, Gu Yishen's situation might not necessarily be a bad thing for Sega.
Regardless of whether Gu Yishen was trying to create a buzz by "hyping" Luo Jia behind the company's back, their explosive news certainly attracted most people's attention at this critical juncture when Lin Manxi had such a scandal.
Right now, netizens are either frantically shipping the couple or tirelessly searching for clues to analyze the authenticity of Gu Yishen and Luo Jia's so-called "official announcement."
It seems that not many people are still dwelling on Lin Manxi's matter.
This wave of attention brought Gu Yishen a huge boost in popularity, and Lin Manxi also benefited. Gu Yishen was an artist under Sega, so his success naturally benefited Sega as well.
So after a moment's thought, Lin Heisei realized that he might not have lost out in this round.
However, considering that he is the CEO of Sega, it is somewhat embarrassing for Gu Yishen to engage in such underhanded dealings with artists from other companies without informing the company in advance.
So despite the hint of "getting a good deal but acting innocent," Lin Heishen still scolded Gu Yishen with a stern face.
Gu Yishen didn't take Lin Pingcheng's attitude too seriously, but he didn't confront Lin Pingcheng directly either. He just stood there listening to whatever Lin Pingcheng said without saying anything, occasionally making a "hmm" or "ah" sound. That was about it.
Seeing Gu Yishen's attitude, Lin Pingcheng had no intention of arguing with him any longer. After scolding him a few times, he waved him out.
Not long after Gu Yishen left, the landline phone on Boss Lin Hecheng's desk rang.
The constant troubles caused by Lin Manxi and Gu Yishen were getting on his nerves. He had been busy these past few days trying to smooth things over for his daughter, as well as dealing with a bunch of messy things at the company, leaving him no time to rest.
"Hello, this is Lin Heicheng." Lin Heicheng answered the phone, and somewhat wearily pinched the bridge of his nose with his fingers.
"Mr. Lin, it's me."
"Ah, how's it going? Is everything going smoothly?" Hearing the familiar voice, Lin Heisei calmed down considerably.
"Well... there were a few minor obstacles, but overall it's not a big problem. Everything is going very smoothly and has basically been resolved, Mr. Lin, you can rest assured."
"Oh? And what was the result?"
The words spoken by the person on the other end of the phone made Lin Heishi feel a little more at ease.
Hearing the other party say, "It's going very smoothly and it's basically resolved," made Lin Heicheng even more satisfied.
It really cost a lot of money...
Lin Heicheng spent a considerable sum of money to bribe officials, but he finally received good news, so the money wasn't wasted.
"Mr. Lin, the waiter who ran away from the Jinjiang Star Hotel has been caught."
"..." Sure enough, Lin Pingcheng knew that this person was definitely not going to escape. He was quite confident in the strength of the Chinese police.
"Has he done anything wrong? We just hope he doesn't say anything he shouldn't," Lin Heishi warned.
“Don’t you trust me to handle things? This waiter has already admitted that he planned and carried out the series of things that framed Luo Jia, and Miss Lin just happened to be implicated.”
"Miss Lin is completely innocent in this matter and has nothing to do with it whatsoever."
The other party spoke with such confidence that Lin Heicheng felt it would be best to get rid of that waiter and make up the mess.
After all, the waiter was the one who did all the work of drugging and covering the nose. This is solid evidence, and the surveillance video also captured the entire process of his "crime".
He can't renege on the deal anyway, so he might as well sell one of the Lin family's sons and get a lot of benefits for free.
Besides, it's not like they committed any heinous crimes like murder or arson. They'll at least get their lives back, receive a huge sum of compensation, and only spend a few years in jail. To be honest, it's a worthwhile deal.
"But……"
Lin Heicheng thought about it again and felt that it wasn't very convincing to let the waiter take on all the work.
"That waiter has no grudge against Luo Jia, they don't even know each other, and they have absolutely no interaction in their daily lives. If he's asked to take the blame, would anyone believe him...?"
After all, it concerned his precious daughter, Lin Manxi, so Lin Heping dared not be careless at all.
"Don't worry, Mr. Lin. This waiter is Luo Jia's biggest hater and biggest fan. A couple of years ago, his girlfriend was so obsessed with Luo Jia that she dumped him."
"How could he not have had a strong motive to plot against Luo Jia?"
"Really? That's too much of a coincidence. Are you telling the truth?"
Lin Heicheng was surprised to find that the waiter had some connection with Luo Jia, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face.
Unexpectedly, the person on the other end of the phone chuckled and said, "Mr. Lin, you don't understand. If he is, then he has the motive to do these things."
