Lin Zong walked to a corner, squatted down in front of his daughter, his eyes filled with tenderness and pity, and softly called out, "Feifei."
Lin Yunfei hugged her knees, staring blankly at the ground, giving no response whatsoever to Lin Zong's words.
Lin Zong sighed softly.
He understood his daughter and knew how deep her obsession with Lin Yi was.
So trying to persuade her to open up and cheer up was completely useless.
The only useful thing to do is to let her continue participating in the last episode of the dating reality show.
Only in this way can I have a chance to continue to contact Lin Yi, a chance to regain my lost face, and a chance to seek revenge on Jian Zhizhen.
He slowly began to speak: "The final episode of the dating reality show will begin filming the day after tomorrow."
Lin Yunfei's eyelashes lifted slightly.
Lin Zong breathed a slight sigh of relief when he saw that her depressed mood had indeed fluctuated as a result.
What people fear most is not failure, but the death of their spirit and the fear of never recovering.
My daughter hasn't given up yet, so she can still pull herself together.
Lin Zong continued, "I know you've been bullied by Jian Zhizhen on the show, so the two new guests joining the next episode... are arranged by me to cooperate with you."
Lin Yunfei's back stiffened abruptly, then she slowly raised her bloodshot eyes and stared blankly at Lin Zong.
Lin Zong gently placed his large hand on his daughter's head and said, word by word, "Daughter, don't worry, you will regain the face you lost on the show."
Although Lin Zong may have left the entertainment industry long ago, he still has connections and a strong foundation within it.
Given his hidden influence, interfering with the decisions of two mid-sized entertainment companies wouldn't be difficult.
Jian Zhizhen and Qin Yubai will not escape unscathed.
He looked into his daughter's eyes, and said in a soft but clear voice, "In this life... Dad will not let you have any regrets."
Lin Yunfei couldn't hold back her tears any longer, and large drops of them welled up in her eyes.
"dad……"
She hadn't spoken for a long time, and when she finally opened her mouth, her voice was rough and hoarse, completely devoid of her former gentleness and sweetness.
She herself was startled.
As if suddenly remembering something, she raised her hand and gently touched her face: "Dad... am I ugly now?"
Lin Zong knew she was determined to pull herself together, so he smiled and said, "It's alright, my daughter is naturally beautiful. There's still one more day, isn't there? Eat something, get a good night's sleep, and you'll be back to normal."
Lin Yunfei obediently replied, "Okay."
She wiped away her tears, quickly tidied herself up, and then had a proper meal.
Just after she finished eating, she suddenly received a verification message from Muto Makoto.
Lin Yunfei clicked "Accept".
Knowing that he was someone her father had arranged, she wanted to take the initiative to greet him and try to get closer to him.
However, Muto Makoto sent her a message first: "Miss Lin, I have heard your story. If Jian Zhizhen dares to continue treating you like this, even if she is an inventor, a top student, and the daughter of a hero... I will absolutely not forgive her! Let her see the rage burning within me!"
Lin Yunfei was startled by the strong sense of excitement and passion from the Japanese anime.
Could this person be another idiot like Gong Guan?
She didn't dare reply and ran to Lin Zong's study to ask him, "Dad, did you say anything to Muto Makoto?"
Lin Zong looked up and replied, "I didn't contact him directly. I arranged for the president of Mulberry to do this. Is there a problem?"
Lin Yunfei thought about it carefully and it seemed that there really wasn't a problem.
Everyone in the entertainment industry knows that Makoto Muto became famous by acting in manga adaptations.
After acting in it many times, you naturally pick up a bit of that style.
Aside from this slightly awkward situation, it seems he has some misunderstanding about Jian Zhizhen?
She felt that Jian Zhizhen had bullied her, so she wanted to stand up for her?
That's fine too. I already have a bad first impression of Jian Zhizhen, so she'll definitely cause trouble for me. I can just watch the show from behind the scenes.
So she shook her head at Lin Zong: "It's okay, let's go out for dinner."
Fu Lingxi, however, never took the initiative to contact Lin Yunfei.
However, Lin Yunfei also knew that Fu Lingxi was notoriously gloomy and aloof, so it was normal that he didn't take the initiative to contact her.
But since Dad said he's made arrangements, I'm sure she'll help me in the end.
...
In fact, both the presidents of Mulberry and Watermelon felt that it was very difficult to handle when they received Lin Zong's request.
Chien Chih-chen is currently the number one figure on the show, both in terms of popularity and fan base.
Moreover, she and her fans are very positive, and even some casual observers who aren't fans of hers have a good impression of them.
In addition, Qin Yubai is her CP, and the director is her brother. The fan base of these two people is also Jian Zhizhen's hidden fan base.
Now Lin Zong wants both families to send people to help Lin Yunfei deal with Jian Zhizhen...
Sending any artist would only harm them; it would make them get criticized and lose fans.
However, Lin Zong knew about their secret and used it to coerce them into helping him, so they had no choice but to comply.
After much deliberation, the president of Mulberry Company decided that Muto Makoto was a worthwhile candidate.
The main reason is that Muto is a truly talented actor, dedicated and skilled, and even being criticized doesn't affect his acting.
His fans don't like watching real-life variety shows either, so they will probably minimize the impact.
So President Mulberry made up a story about "Jian Zhizhen stealing Lin Yunfei's brother, how manipulative Jian Zhizhen is, and how innocent Lin Yunfei is" to brainwash him.
Muto Makoto was initially very skeptical.
Although he doesn't watch dating reality shows, he went online and saw all the positive comments about Jian Zhizhen.
He knew that Jian Zhizhen had rescued her teammate trapped in another world on the show, saved her teammate's life from suicide so the show wouldn't be banned, used her chemistry knowledge to save two children who were almost in trouble, and fought off vicious robbers at a summer camp...
How could someone like that be a "green tea" (a manipulative woman)?
His boss lied to him again, saying that the Jian family was very rich, and that all those good deeds were actually done by others, but the Jian family paid money to buy the credit, which ended up on Jian Zhizhen's head.
She also said that she, her brother, and her boyfriend teamed up to bully the weak and pitiful Lin Yunfei.
After being repeatedly brainwashed by his boss, Muto Makoto finally believed it.
She also felt sorry for Lin Yunfei; a bright pearl had been defeated by a fish eye, and she had nothing left.
So he immediately sent Lin Yunfei that message, and even planned to help her teach Jian Zhizhen a lesson on the show.
The same goes for the watermelon side.
They chose Fu Lingxi because Fu Lingxi's fans are all music lovers and people who enjoy high art; they don't watch this kind of noisy and chaotic dating reality show.
Moreover, Fu Lingxi herself is particularly gloomy and pessimistic, hating the whole world equally, not just Jian Zhizhen.
So let her go, even if she loses followers and gets criticized online, the impact can be minimized.
Both CEOs thought they had done as required.
Moreover, they have already brainwashed them, making them dislike Jian Zhizhen and feel sorry for Lin Yunfei.
As for how they will behave on the show, whether they will betray each other, and whether their public personas will be ruined...
That's beyond the company's control.
