Liu Zhengqi was silent for a moment, then said fiercely, "It seems I have to resort to some extreme measures. Qi Hui, you immediately contact the media outlets and online influencers we cooperate with and continue to hype this up, but this time from a different angle. Say that Xinghui Cinema deliberately didn't screen our film because they took bribes!"
Upon hearing this, Qi Hui hesitated: "Director Liu, isn't this a bit inappropriate? If we get exposed, our reputation will be completely ruined."
Liu Zheng glared at Qi Hui: "What are you afraid of! As long as we can make 'Tianmen Long Saber' a hit, we'll use any means necessary! Get to work on it now, don't dawdle!"
Qi Hui said, "Director Liu, this is not appropriate either. I am neither an employee of Xinghui Cinema nor one of your subordinates. I am doing this for no reward."
Qi Hui's meaning was clear: he had said long ago that he wanted Liu Zhengqi to arrange a better job for him.
Liu Zhengqi naturally understood and said, "Alright, I've thought about what you said. You're now the assistant director, and I'm hiring you."
Qi Hui immediately perked up and said, "Thank you, Director Liu. What about the salary and benefits?"
Liu Zhengqi: "Don't worry, as long as 'Tianmen Long Saber' becomes a huge hit, you'll definitely get your share of the benefits!"
"Okay, thank you, Director Liu. I'll get right on it!" Qi Hui readily agreed.
Later that afternoon, numerous posts appeared online claiming that Star Shine Cinema had taken bribes and deliberately refused to screen "The Long Sword of Tianmen".
There is also a video in which Qi Hui himself appears and talks about the matter.
Lin Wanqing was so angry after seeing this that she didn't want to say anything.
She had planned to spend time with Li Yi after get off work, but then this happened.
Lin Wanqing looked at Li Yi apologetically and said, "What should we do? We'll probably have to work overtime today!"
Li Yi said, "It's alright. You're the CEO now, so you have a lot of things to handle!"
Lin Wanqing smiled wryly, but a warm feeling welled up in her heart. Li Yi's understanding and support made her feel very warm.
She took a deep breath and said, "I'll deal with these rumors as soon as possible. We can't let them affect the reputation of Star Shine Cinema. So, are you going to wait for me to get off work, or do you want to go for a walk by yourself?"
Although Li Yi really wanted to spend time with Lin Wanqing as soon as possible, it seemed that she would be busy tonight.
He didn't want to waste his time here.
"Then I'll go out and wander around by myself. I haven't been to the capital often, so I'm not familiar with it yet. I'll go out and explore more."
Lin Wanqing said apologetically, "I'm so sorry. I didn't expect so many tricky things to happen today. You go ahead and get busy, I'll call you when I'm done."
Li Yi: "It's alright, you can take your time with your work. I have a few friends here, I'll go visit them."
Lin Wanqing: "Okay!"
Li Yi left Xinghui Cinema and hailed a taxi right at the entrance.
The taxi driver asked, "Brother, where to?"
Li Yi: "Beijing Normal University".
"Okay. Please be seated." The taxi driver started the car.
Li Yi currently has three women to deal with in Beijing: Zhang Yifei, Lin Wanqing, and Zhou Mei.
Zhou Mei is a sophomore at Beijing Normal University. Her mother, Qin Suyun, had previously suffered from leukemia, which was cured by Li Yi.
Zhou Mei's current favorability rating towards Li Yi is 95 points. Li Yi had already won her over before, but because he returned to Shancheng during this period and they have been out of touch, Zhou Mei's favorability rating has not increased.
Li Yi felt it was necessary to spend more time with this girl, since for him, increasing her favorability was equivalent to making money and improving his abilities.
While others might consider flirting with girls a waste of time, Li Yi is different; flirting with girls is his main job!
Li Yi is indeed very dedicated. In order to make money and improve his skills, he travels all over the country to flirt with girls.
He called Zhou Mei from the car.
The call was connected very quickly.
"Brother Li Yi, you finally decided to call me!"
Upon hearing it, Li Yi recognized Zhou Mei's voice as still so pleasant, familiar, and gentle.
“Of course, I miss Mei’er!” Li Yi said.
Having already moved among so many girls, Li Yi knew that no matter how explicit the sweet words he said to them, they wouldn't think he was being a pervert. On the contrary, they would be very happy, especially the girls he had already slept with.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Zhou Mei blushed slightly and whispered, "Brother, Mei'er has missed you so much. Mei'er thinks about you every day! Are you doing well in Shancheng?"
Li Yi: "Oh no!"
Zhou Mei: "Oh? Brother, are you too tired? You need to rest more!"
Li Yi: "No! It's because brother hasn't seen Mei'er in a long time!"
Zhou Mei chuckled and said, "A man's words are deceitful. Why don't you come and see me instead!"
Li Yi: "Okay. Where are you?"
Zhou Mei: "What? Do you think you can fly over from Chongqing right now if I told you?"
Li Yi: "Why don't you give it a try?"
Zhou Mei: "Okay! I'm having evening self-study in a classroom on the first floor of Teaching Building No. 1. Come on over!"
Li Yi: "Okay, wait for me, brother will be there soon!"
Zhou Mei was unaware that Li Yi had actually arrived in the capital; she still thought he was in Shancheng.
"Is that your voice?"
Li Yi: "That won't do, I have to come in person. Only then can I see Mei'er, whom I've been longing for day and night!"
Zhou Mei's heart fluttered with excitement, and she said, "Okay, Mei'er will wait for you."
"Okay. Goodbye."
Goodbye, brother!
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Mei was restless.
She was wondering, what is Brother Li Yi doing?
It's impossible for them to arrive so quickly!
