Chapter 162 He's Actually a Big Shot
"Useless! You still can't solve the problem."
Director Wang was furious and angrily slammed the documents in his hand down.
He pointed at the person sitting opposite him, who was sitting silently and being scolded, and continued to berate him.
"Tell me, who exactly did you offend to deserve this?"
“I told you before that you are on the rise, so don’t cause trouble and be careful with your words and actions.”
"Did they ignore my words? And now they've caused this mess!"
"It's fine if you guys bring this on yourselves, but don't drag me down with you, or the company!"
Agent Liu secretly kicked Guan Yi, signaling him to quickly back down, otherwise no one could save him.
Guan Yi was mentored by Sister Liu, so their tacit understanding goes without saying.
He immediately understood what Sister Liu meant and quickly explained.
"Director Wang, how could I dare disobey you?"
I've been behaving myself lately and haven't offended anyone.
I don't know who wants to harm me. I had someone investigate, but there were no clues.
The person in the video is none other than Mr. Zhao, the general manager of Liuhuan Company.
"You were the one who made the connection last time, who knew someone would film it and make a fuss about it."
Guan Yi wasn't stupid; he knew he should try to get more allies involved.
That way, they won't be abandoned or sidelined by the company.
Celebrities crave exposure, especially idols who need to be in the public eye.
Once he's sidelined, he'll be forgotten in less than three months.
He worked hard to get to where he is today.
I don't want to become a thing of the past because of a single scandal.
He's willing to sacrifice his reputation for capital, so he should be used when necessary.
This was a subtle reminder to Director Wang that they were all in the same boat; if he wasn't protected, none of them could escape.
Director Wang glanced at Guan Yi.
He disliked Guan Yi because he was too materialistic, too ambitious, and wanted too much.
But he had a pleasing face and a silver tongue.
He had previously helped him appease many investors, earning them considerable benefits and resources.
Now is the perfect time to make money; giving it up would be too much of a loss.
However, this trending topic is too suspicious.
He asked someone to remove the trending topic, but it had no effect whatsoever.
In this situation, it can only mean that someone with a powerful background is targeting Guan Yi.
This kid is usually quite clever, how come he can't react now?
Considering his usual obedience, Director Wang decided to give him a hand.
His tone was much better than before.
"It's not that I don't want to protect you, it's that I'm powerless to do so. I contacted people to remove it the moment it became a trending topic."
"But they rejected me. I had to ask several people for favors before I could get any information."
"Someone has given orders to make you hang up there for three days straight. They want to ruin your reputation."
Director Wang looked regretful.
"You know how many resources our company has invested in you; only when you're doing well can our company profit."
"I wanted to save you, but I was powerless to do so."
"You should think about whether you've offended anyone recently, or if someone wants you to do something?"
Sister Liu looked at Guan Yi. She had been busy lately and hadn't been with Guan Yi.
Guan Yi hasn't been busy with any announcements lately, so she hasn't paid much attention and has no idea what he's been up to.
"Offend someone?"
Guan Yi couldn't remember who she had offended.
Are they members of the same group?
Impossible. In their lousy group, besides him, who has some skills and some fame.
Everyone else is just playing minor roles, struggling to even eat and drink, so they couldn't possibly have that much energy.
Could she be a relative of some powerful woman?
That doesn't make sense either; Mr. Zhao hasn't contacted him recently.
I heard she's taken a fancy to another young heartthrob, and they're really into it, so she won't be seeing him.
Other capital has not been involved recently.
Not to mention offending people.
His fans?
That's even more impossible; he's maintained his public image exceptionally well.
Those fans, they all love him so much.
Furthermore, fans with that kind of ability should contact him directly; that's more practical than harming him online.
Could it be a competitor?
He investigated all the competitors who were vying for the position.
It's not that I don't have the ability, it's just that I'm currently stuck on set and can't get out.
Who did he offend recently?
That's impossible.
He's been quite well-behaved lately. Aside from running around for work, he spends his time chatting with Zhou Ran and occasionally having a meal together.
Guan Yi racked her brains but couldn't figure it out.
He shook his head. "I've been behaving myself lately and haven't offended anyone! I've thought of all the possible people, and none of them are likely."
Sister Liu also became anxious.
If this matter isn't resolved, we'll have to pay tens of millions in endorsement fees.
Moreover, the subsequent impact is enormous.
They can't afford to delay.
"Tell us about your recent itinerary, don't hide anything, and we'll help you make a judgment."
"good."
At this point, there's nothing left to say or not say.
Guan Yi recounted his recent schedule in great detail.
Compared to before, when she was flirting with other women and offending people.
Guan Yi has indeed been very well-behaved lately.
There were no problems with the itinerary, and the people I interacted with were also fine.
"What's the deal with Zhou Ran?"
"Oh, he's one of my fans. He's quite cute. He asked me for an autograph. We don't have a photo together, but we've chatted a bit privately occasionally. He said he's Director Hu's nephew."
"Director Hu's nephew? You didn't say anything strange, did you? You didn't lay a hand on him, did you?"
Sister Liu gave Guan Yi a warning look.
Guan Yi hurriedly waved his hand.
"No, we were just chatting, like elementary school kids, pure chatting. I'll show you the chat history if you don't believe me."
Guan Yi unlocked his phone and handed it to Sister Liu.
Sister Liu carefully reviewed the previous chat and found that there were indeed no problems.
There wasn't even a proper adult topic; it was just elementary school students exchanging pointless compliments and empty praise.
It's a bit cheesy, but there's nothing substantial about it.
Sister Liu handed the phone back, her brows furrowed. Had they gone the wrong way?
Did she offend someone, or did her company offend someone and then target Guan Yi?
Mr. Wang then asked another question.
"You're saying that Zhou Ran is Director Hu's nephew, and Director Hu is his uncle?"
"Yes, he said it himself."
Director Wang looked at Guan Yi as if he were an idiot.
"Uncle? Shouldn't it be nephew? Why isn't it nephew? Is he fooling you?"
"Yes!"
Guan Yi then realized that there seemed to be a problem, something he hadn't really paid attention to at the time.
He answered Zhou Ran's question with complete candor, looking at her innocent face.
Guan Yi never imagined that he was lying to her.
Besides, what's there to be fooled about?
Director Wang ignored all that and continued asking questions.
"He was there when you attended the engagement banquet between the Fu and Xia families?"
"Yeah, he was wearing sportswear and sneaking bites of food at the banquet."
Guan Yi nodded, recalling Zhou Ran's appearance back then.
It was tiny, with its sleeves rolled up, secretly stuffing pastries into its mouth.
He looked so anxious, as if he hadn't eaten.
The food made her little face chubby and round.
It looks like a greedy hamster.
"Nobody stopped him?"
Director Wang pressed Guan Yi for answers.
Guan Yi thought for a moment, then shook her head.
"No one stopped him; I went up to remind him."
His brother was eating with him; his brother was bald, tattooed, and looked menacing.
At first, I mistook him for his sugar daddy and defended him a couple of times, but it turned out to be a misunderstanding; it was actually his brother.
A shrewd glint flashed in Director Wang's eyes.
"I know who you've offended!"
Guan Yi looked at Director Wang in disbelief.
"You don't suspect anything about Zhou Ran, do you? He doesn't seem like it!"
So harmless and well-behaved, like a little sun.
How could someone do such a thing behind someone's back?
Director Wang looked at him with a disappointed expression.
"You said he was at the engagement party, is that a place where just anyone can walk in?"
Guan Yi felt as if she had been doused with a bucket of cold water, and her mind went completely blank.
Yes, that banquet isn't for just anyone.
Those who get in must be either rich or noble, and must have a certain social status and family background.
Even the smallest things require careful speech and actions; one must obediently act like a grandson.
How could Zhou Ran possibly sneak in to steal food?
Seeing that Guan Yi was trying to figure things out, Director Wang gave her another reminder.
"You said it yourself, he was dressed inappropriately and even ate something. There were dozens of waiters in that setting, not to mention bodyguards."
They're causing trouble so blatantly, and nobody's stopping them; how could they possibly lack status?
Guan Yi nodded.
Yes, no wonder he always felt something was off.
"Besides, you've already started arguing and no one has stopped you. Either Zhou Ran's identity is suspicious, or that girl's identity is suspicious."
Guan Yi quickly offered an explanation.
"I had someone investigate that girl; she's an unfavored young lady from a family in the southeast of the city."
My family has a little money, but we're not considered wealthy.
Her father had several illegitimate daughters, and she was domineering and disliked by her family.
Her family barely cared about her, unless her maternal grandparents' family was a branch of the Fu family.
They were kicked out by the Nan family long ago.
Guan Yi sent someone to investigate the moment Zhou Ran met Nan Zi.
It was only because he knew Nanzi's identity that he dared to confront her directly.
An unfavored and down-on-his-luck person is nothing to fear.
"I heard a rumor that the Fu family intended to use the Nan family's daughter as a substitute bride, which is probably why Nan Zi appeared at the banquet."
Sister Liu had also heard some rumors and added to the discussion from the side.
"Since Nan Zi's identity is normal, then your fan is probably a big shot!"
Director Wang looked intently at Guan Yi.
It was like looking at a pile of gold; there was no longer any of the disdain I had shown before.
If Zhou Ran is of noble birth, then whose young master is he?
Therefore, this exposure could be profitable.
It must be that Zhou Ran's family opposes Guan Yi's getting close.
He felt that Guan Yi was a problem and wanted Zhou Ran to see Guan Yi's true character.
That's why they spread Guan Yi's dirty secrets so openly.
This precisely demonstrates that Guan Yi had a tremendous influence on Zhou Ran.
Regardless of Zhou Ran's feelings for Guan Yi in the future.
If done properly.
The big boss will slip them some benefits through his fingers.
For them, it was an immense fortune!
Guan Yi had clearly figured it out too, and his hands were trembling with excitement.
Sister Liu's eyes lit up, and she snatched Guan Yi's phone.
"Sister Liu, what are you going to do?"
"What?! Of course, contact Zhou Ran! If our analysis is correct, you contact him, complain to him, and the current crisis can be resolved immediately!"
And what followed was immense wealth and prosperity.
"Lingling!"
Guan Yi's phone rang, and Zhou Ran's name was prominently displayed on the screen. Author's Note: Thank you to my mentor 9492239 (9492239) for your support! For more exciting content, please leave a message for this book on Liancheng Reading.
