A BMW 5 sped along the elevated highway.
Inside the car, Lu Xueqing grabbed Lin Yu's ear and kept complaining.
"What did you promise me? And what did I tell you?"
"Can you please stop hitting people? You just went up there and slapped someone in the butt. They're a celebrity, they make a living with their looks. If you hurt them, what will they do for a living?"
Lu Xueqing was furious and became angrier the more she thought about it.
This guy is so rude!
"Okay, okay, honey, ouch, it hurts! Here, take my ear! Please stop pulling it!" Lin Yu pleaded, pretending to be a wife.
Lu Xueqing snorted and then let go, hugging her shoulders, still puffing out her cheeks in anger.
At this moment, Qi Wei, who was driving, said, "President Lu, you can't blame Mr. Lin for this. It was Xiao Zhankun who was rude first. Look at what he said, is that even human language? If I were there, I would have given him a good beating too!"
"Sister Qi, why are you siding with him too!" Lu Xueqing was even angrier. These two must be in cahoots, ganging up on her to make her angry!
"You know perfectly well that he was the spokesperson I went through so much trouble to find. You know how important this offline event is, right? But he just slapped him in the face. How are we supposed to negotiate this cooperation now?" Lu Xueqing said irritably.
Lin Yu shook his head. "Wife, I advise you not to let him endorse this product. This jerk has already been blacklisted. He's a bad celebrity. Letting him endorse this product is like ruining your own reputation!"
"Don't talk nonsense! He's just been blacklisted. I heard he offended some big shot, but that doesn't mean he did anything wrong. At least there's no negative news about him online so far!" Lu Xueqing said indignantly.
Lin Yu said, "Who said there isn't? There will be soon. If you don't believe me, open Douyin now and check the entertainment news!"
Just now, Lin Yu sent a message to Douyin's operations team, pushing all sorts of tidbits and news about Xiao Zhankun to the top of the trending searches.
That bastard! I gave him a chance, but he's useless. He even provoked me to my face. If I don't teach him a lesson, I'll keep him around for the New Year.
Lu Xueqing looked at him with an incomprehensible expression, "Stop talking nonsense, okay? If he had any negative news, it would have been exposed long ago!"
She had already searched for information about Xiao Zhankun online and found no negative news about him. She felt that Lin Yu was just being unreasonable.
As if to prove this point, she quickly dug out Douyin.
Before I even had a chance to search, I saw it trending on social media.
The number one trending topic: Xiao Zhankun contracted HIV while discussing scripts with a transgender person late at night during his work trip to Thailand.
Second on the trending search list: Xiao Zhankun was exposed for having affairs with multiple female fans, including some college students.
Third on the trending list: Ma Xiaorong, the leader of Xiao Zhankun's fan club, revealed that she was infected with HIV by Xiao Zhankun and was ruthlessly abandoned!
There was a whole bunch more below, which completely baffled Lu Xueqing.
Lin Yu said with a lazy expression, "See? I told you, this guy is no good!"
Lu Xueqing gave a disdainful look. "These are just rumors. They're not from official media. Can you believe this kind of gossip?"
Beep beep!
Just then, a Rolls-Royce suddenly pulled up and kept honking its horn!
Qi Wei frowned and quickly stopped the car.
The Rolls-Royce in front also stopped, the door opened, and He Wu immediately pulled Xiao Zhankun out of the car.
Arriving at the BMW, He Wu kicked Xiao Zhankun to the ground.
"Teacher Xiao!" Lu Xueqing exclaimed in surprise, and quickly opened the car door and got out.
He Wu looked remorseful and quickly walked over to bow to Lu Xueqing and Lin Yu, who had just gotten out of the car. "Mr. Lin, Madam, I'm so sorry! It was all my negligence that allowed this scoundrel to offend you. Please forgive me!"
Lu Xueqing looked surprised. "You're Fifth Master He? The boss of Haotian Media?"
She had also heard of He Wu; he was Gong Li's backer and boss, one of the most important figures in the entire Xidu!
He Wu said tremblingly, "Compared to Mr. Lin, what am I? You're too kind to me!"
Lin Yu waved his hand impatiently, "Alright, stop flattering me! Xiao Zhankun, I'm asking you, have you been diagnosed with HIV?"
Xiao Zhankun knelt on the ground, looking embarrassed. "Yes, yes, Mr. Lin!"
Lin Yu then asked, "Do you often harass female fans?"
Xiao Zhankun's face turned bright red, but since Lin Yu had asked him, he dared not lie and awkwardly replied, "Slept with...slept with..."
How many have you slept with?
"I...I can't remember..." Xiao Zhankun was so ashamed that he wanted to bury his head in the ground.
Lin Yu looked at Lu Xueqing, "Wife, did you hear that? He admitted it himself. Why keep someone like him around if we don't ban him? He's corrupting the entire social atmosphere!"
Lu Xueqing pursed her lips tightly, feeling a wave of lingering fear. Luckily, the contract hadn't been signed yet. She hadn't expected this person to be so awful; it was simply outrageous!
He Wu immediately kicked Xiao Zhankun, yelling, "You beast! Look at what you've done! You're a complete scoundrel!"
He Wu quickly turned to Lin Yu and said, "Mr. Lin, please rest assured, from now on I will stop all cooperation with him and sever all ties with him. Please forgive my oversight. I, He Wu, will definitely keep my artists in line and make them promote positive energy and set a good example!"
He had originally planned to plead for Xiao Zhankun today, but he knew it was useless. If he continued to protect Xiao Zhankun at this moment, it would only arouse Mr. Lin's dissatisfaction.
He would never risk offending Lin Yu for the sake of Xiao Zhankun.
Lin Yu chuckled lightly, "It's good that you realize your mistake! It's never too late to mend your ways. Luckily, my wife didn't sign the contract with him, or she would have been implicated too!"
He Wu understood immediately and quickly said to Lu Xueqing, "Mrs. Lin, if you need a spokesperson, I will find you a top-tier celebrity from the company right away. Don't worry, this time I will definitely find you an artist with both virtue and talent!"
Lu Xueqing was immediately flattered and surprised. "Then, thank you very much, Fifth Master!"
"No, no! Just call me Xiao Wu! Just call me Xiao Wu!" He Wu hurriedly said, trembling with fear.
Lin Yu shook his head. "Alright, let's just leave it at that. Remember your promise to me. In the future, you need to properly manage your artists. The entertainment industry is not above the law. Public figures have no privacy. Since you enjoy the spotlight, you should be even more cautious and set a good example for everyone!"
"Yes, yes! You're right!" He Wu continued, "Mr. Lin, my banquet is already prepared, how about we..."
Lin Yu waved his hand, "Forget it, I'm not in the mood today, let's talk about it another day!"
Hearing this, He Wu looked disappointed, but dared not ask for anything more.
