Chapter 086 Mission Failed
The reason why Dong Yexi’s scandal spread so quickly was of course because of Jia Lianlu’s help behind the scenes.
However, she was acting on her own, so she didn't dare to use the organization's personnel and funds, but went directly to her agent. She told her agent about the secret filming and used vague statements to mislead him, making him think that she and Dong Yexi were really having an underground relationship.
The agent was thrilled when he found out. Irna was actually dating the second son of the Dongye Group! Once this news got out, her fame would soar even higher!
He didn't even care whether it was true or not. Even if someone came out to debunk it, Irna would still be riding on the hype. Then all he had to do was blame the paparazzi.
Therefore, the agent mobilized the company's publicity department and secretly contacted familiar marketing accounts, quickly pushing the relevant entries to the top of the hot search list.
Irna's fans were immediately furious. Some refused to accept it, thinking that a relationship would affect her career. Others were more accepting, thinking that since they were both single, what was wrong with a relationship?
There were even extreme fans who threatened to cause trouble for Higashino Hiroshi. Then they were laughed at by passers-by.
You want to cause trouble for Higashino Hi? You losers can't even get in touch with him, all you can do is rant on the internet.
The onlookers were enjoying the fun, and then they saw the real Dong Ye Xi come out to fight against the fakes and confront the paparazzi.
The popularity is even greater.
Afterwards, Higashino Higashi's coming out declaration was like lighting a cannon, leaving netizens dizzy after watching the excitement all morning.
In an instant, terms such as #东野集团第二兒就被從过, #东野熙說說我愛男人的愛男人, #东野集团告, etc. quickly climbed the hot search list.
Some netizens supported it, some criticized it, and some just watched the fun. All kinds of groups were arguing with each other.
However, these comments had little effect on Dong Yexi. After he finished his message, he put his phone aside and continued to eat his brunch.
As long as you stay away from the Internet, the world will be peaceful and beautiful.
However, he didn't have time to enjoy a few minutes of peace as calls came in one after another.
The first person to call him was his second uncle. As a prodigal son who supported countless tabloids, his daily routine was to ask his housekeeper if there were any news reports about him. While he didn't mind the paparazzi digging into his love life, if there were any fabrications, he would ruthlessly issue a letter to deal with them.
He is a playboy but not a vulgar person. Anyone who slanders him will be warned by a lawyer.
Second uncle called not to comfort Dong Yexi, but to mock him.
"You're killing me," Second Uncle said bluntly. "If you had just sent a lawyer's letter, those paparazzi and marketing accounts would have immediately apologized and deleted their accounts. Why do you have to disclose your sexual orientation? Isn't that like 'killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred of your own'?"
Dong Yexi defended himself: "I am doing this once and for all."
"You wishful thinking!" Second Uncle laughed heartily, "Just wait and see, from now on, anyone who throws themselves at you will be a man! That will make the news even hotter! Hahaha~"
Higashino Hi: ...
He hung up the phone angrily.
Thinking of the scene described by his second uncle, he couldn't help but tremble all over.
He comforted himself: It's okay, if a man leans on him, he will avoid him. If that doesn't work, he will ask Hatori to block him, and if that doesn't work, he will shout for help, see if they have the nerve to do it.
Then, his aunt, uncle, fourth uncle, and cousin all called, but he couldn't answer, so they all called his eldest brother.
Not to mention my aunt's family, they love Dong Yexi so much and will support him no matter what he does.
It's Fourth Uncle...
Dong Yexi thought that his fourth uncle was here to question him, but unexpectedly, his fourth uncle actually comforted him and taught him not to be sad for people he didn't know, and that what those people said was bullshit and he didn't need to listen to them.
Dong Yexi was deeply moved after hearing this. However, he had always felt that his fourth uncle seemed a bit more domineering than his eldest brother. They were the same age, so they must have grown up together, right? It seemed that there was a big difference.
Soon after, his family and a group of friends also called and sent him messages to express their concern and support for him.
After Dong Yexi dealt with everyone, he suddenly realized that he already had so many relatives and friends in this world.
However, Hatori Yuiichi did not call him, but ordered a bouquet of white roses for him.
When Fujitsuka Tian informed Higashino Xi that someone had given him flowers at the door, he thought it was a prank.
When he received a large bouquet of white roses from the errand boy, he was a little confused. It was the first time he had received flowers in all his life.
The errand boy often delivered flowers and knew the meaning of flowers like the back of his hand. He said, "The person who sent you flowers must have a crush on you, right?"
Dong Yexi picked up the card from the bouquet. On it were neatly written the Chinese characters "万望垂怜". He curled his lips slightly and whispered, "Don't you know what it means? Why are you just writing it randomly?"
The errand boy didn't hear clearly: "Huh?"
Dong Yexi smiled and said, "Thank you, I know who it is." He quickly ran into his room, put the flowers in a vase, and sat on the sofa to admire them.
He finally became someone who would smile foolishly at flowers!
\\
Jialianlu didn't expect her plan to fail in this way.
She stared at her phone, confused. Why? Am I not good enough? Am I not beautiful? How could anyone reject me? Oh, Dong Yexi likes men. Why does he like men? Why didn't anyone tell me he liked men?
Jialianlu was devastated, but her agent thought the marketing was a success.
Since Irina did not speak out throughout the whole process, even if Dong Yexi announced his sexual orientation and confirmed that the relationship was fake, she did not receive too much attack and was the beneficiary.
The agent was very excited and even began to imagine a future in which Irna would continue to be the spokesperson.
At this time, Jialianlu received a message. After reading it, her face turned even paler. She said to her agent, "I have something to do. I'm leaving now."
Her agent immediately stopped her and asked, "Where are you going? Now that things have turned out like this, do you want to make an announcement?"
Jia Lianlu forced herself to calm down and said, "Right now, all the attention on the internet is focused on Dong Yexi. I don't need to respond. The more I say, the more mistakes I'll make. If I jump out now, I'll become a target."
The agent thought about it and felt that what she said made sense.
Jialianlu added, "Let's temporarily stop working for the next two days. I'll show up again after the storm is over."
The agent nodded and said, "Sure. We can try it again later."
Jialianlu didn't respond to his words and left.
It is still unclear whether she will be able to stand here in two days.
When she arrived at the organization's base, Rum was already sitting in the main seat waiting for her, with Ka Yao standing behind him with a serious look on his face.
Jialianlu's face turned pale. As soon as she entered the room, she slid to her knees and said in a mournful voice, "Boss Rum, I'm sorry."
Rum stared at her and said in a deep voice, "Why didn't you act without my consent?"
Jialianlu bit her lower lip, revealing an aggrieved expression, and said, "I didn't act on my own. It was all an accident."
Rum raised an eyebrow: "Oh?"
Jia Lianlu explained: "When I heard that Dong Yexu's body had recovered and he could go out in public, I really wanted to restart the mission and even went to find Di Sano. But he rejected me and said that everything would be announced after the boss. So I gave up the action.
"Afterwards, my agent helped me get an invitation to Yoshinoya, and I went. But at the party, someone got jealous and secretly pushed me down. I ran straight into Dong Yexi's arms and spilled red wine all over him. Afterwards, the people at Yoshinoya arranged for us to change clothes. After I changed, I happened to see Dong Yexi coming out, so I apologized to him. I didn't expect that paparazzi would secretly photograph me and make up a mess of things and publish it."
She pursed her lips, tears in her eyes, and said with difficulty: "I didn't expect that my agent thought this was a good marketing opportunity and secretly bribed the marketing account. By the time I found out, the matter had already become a big deal..." She lowered her head and sobbed, her voice getting softer and softer, as if she was infinitely aggrieved.
Rum stared at the top of her head, silent.
Jialianlu's body trembled slightly, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at Rum. Her eyes were filled with fear. She knew that the consequences of deceiving Rum would be disastrous, but she couldn't say that she had acted on her own, as that would be even worse. She didn't know if her words would dispel Rum's suspicions, so she didn't dare look up at him.
No one spoke for a moment, only Jialianlu's sobbing could be heard.
Just when she thought she was going to be finished, Rum said, "Your company really isn't doing well." He tapped the table and said, "Looks like you need to start another company."
Jialianlu felt relieved. Rum believed her! She would be fine!
"But you still made a mistake."
Jialianlu's face tightened.
Rum said: "Whether you participated or not, the end result is that you can no longer get close to Dong Yexu."
Jia Lianlu gritted her teeth and said, "But my reputation has also increased greatly because of this, and I will be able to contact people at a higher level in the future. Even if I can't complete Dong Yexu's mission, I will still be useful." At this time, she stopped looking down and looked directly into Rum's eyes and said, "Boss Rum, you know my value best."
Seeing the ambition in her eyes, Rum smiled faintly. "Of course. I discovered you, so I'm aware of your abilities." He stood up, walked around the desk, and helped Jialianlu up from the floor, brushing the dust off her clothes. He said, "Besides the Tono family, there are other places where you can demonstrate your value. Until I notify you, just maintain your reputation."
Jia Lian showed gratitude and said, "Thank you, Boss Rum."
Rum nodded and said, "Go do your thing."
After Jialianlu left, Rum put away his smile and asked, "What do you think of what she said?"
Gin and Vodka, who had been behind the secret door, came out. He lit a cigarette and said, "Do you need to think about it so much? If you think she lied, I can help you deal with it."
Rum turned to look at him and said, "I don't need you to clean up my men."
Gin scoffed, "Then why did you ask me to come? Just to watch you sing?"
"I just want to tell you that you shouldn't interfere with the Tono family's mission. This is not within your rights." Rum said in a deep voice, "If you reach out too far, you'll get chopped off."
Gin exhaled a puff of smoke, threw the butt to the ground, and twisted it with his foot. He glanced at Rum and Kayao behind him, and left with the vodka without saying a word.
Rum looked at his back with a dark look in his eyes and whispered, "Gin has been too arrogant lately, hasn't he?"
When a sharp knife can hurt the person using it, it is no longer a good knife.
Kayao did not answer. He knew that Rum did not need his opinion.
After Vodka started the car, he asked, "Brother, what exactly does Rum mean by asking us to come here?"
Gin snorted coldly and said, "What's the point? He's just using Jialianlu's name to pressure me."
Vodka was puzzled: "Huh? But you are not under his control, brother. Why does he punish us?"
"You said I was overreaching? This old guy is the one who did it!" Gin said angrily, lighting another cigarette. "I think he's already started to suffer from dementia before he even reaches old age."
Vodka comforted him, "Don't be angry, brother. Rum can only talk, but if he dares to target you, he won't have an easy time either."
Gin took a puff of his cigarette and said nothing.
Vodka added, "However, I didn't expect Jialianlu to actually fail. She was also carefully nurtured by Rum, so how could she fail before she even started?"
Gin was speechless: "Aren't you talking nonsense? Dong Yexi likes men, of course he is not interested in her."
Vodka suddenly realized, "Oh, right? So, Hatori Yui must have succeeded, right? Then, can't we complete the mission before Rum?"
Thinking of this, Gin's mood was not so bad. He laughed coldly and said, "He can be considered to have made a contribution. Since I made a promise to him before, let's send him over."
Vodka was slightly stunned: "Now?"
Gin put out his cigarette butt: "The person has been taken out anyway, there is no point in keeping him in our hands. Let's throw it to him."
"Okay, big brother."
