Chapter 58 Chapter 58 There are thousands of men in the world, but Lu Yu is not...
Cheng Ranxing didn't check Weibo all night and had no idea what had happened.
She was even satisfied with her combination of punches.
She was going to do a live broadcast this morning, and the marketing account gave her a great suggestion.
Let her respond to the fact that she was betrayed by a scumbag, and roll around in misery to gain sympathy, harvest a wave of tears, and then take advantage of the situation to trigger a bigger public opinion, and completely bring Lu Yu to the bottom.
The marketing account drafted the script for her:
She is a young and beautiful school girl.
He is a cool and handsome academic master.
The golden boy and girl met while studying abroad, and the seeds of their first love sprouted quietly in a certain month of March in a certain year.
She did it with him! (crossed out).
She fell in love with him!
Later, she entered the entertainment industry and he started a business. Although they had little contact, their feelings were still there. Until one day, he suddenly stopped contacting her. At first, she thought it was because he was busy with work, but later she found out that it was actually cold violence.
She was in pain, she struggled, she fell into self-doubt, and she had mental problems.
She met him again at the cocktail party. She couldn't control her emotions for a moment and went up to him to ask why he had been using cold violence against her all these years. He didn't take the initiative, didn't say no, and didn't take responsibility. What kind of man was he!
However, before she could say a few words, he impatiently shook off her hand and pushed her heavily to the ground.
Her heart was bleeding again, and the BGM of "For All the Hateful and Persistent Hurt" sounded in her mind. She decided to expose the ugly face of the scumbag to the world...
Cheng Ranxing thought that this manuscript was very well written. It started with a sweet campus story and ended with a bloody revenge story.
The marketing account told her that she must use all her acting skills during the live broadcast, and cry when talking about the sad and painful things. She should not use too good foundation, because she must cry so that her makeup will be ruined, so that everyone will feel more sympathy for the sister who is so sad that she doesn’t even care about her image.
Cheng Ranxing finished her makeup and rehearsed the script in advance. At this time, there was still an hour before the scheduled start time of the live broadcast.
I had just put some eye drops in and was about to try to prepare a crying scene when the door of the studio was slammed open by someone from the outside.
"What have you done? You didn't reply to WeChat messages, didn't answer calls, and even turned off your phone!" The manager was furious. He strode up to her and slammed the table. "A brand just notified me that they are canceling their advertising cooperation with you. Several satellite TV stations have also canceled their invitations to year-end events, and even the variety show that was due to be signed next week has been cancelled!"
"What did you say?" Cheng Ranxing's eyes widened, and the eye drops in his hand fell to the ground with a "click". "Why do they..."
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly thought of something, picked up her phone and turned it on, and clicked on Weibo with trembling fingers, and saw that the private messages had exploded and the hot searches had also exploded.
But they all mocked her, laughed at her, and scolded her.
Looking at the marketing account again, it is empty. Not only was all the explosive news from yesterday deleted, but the entire account was destroyed, leaving her with a mess.
Cheng Ranxing took a few steps back and suddenly collapsed on the sofa, his eyes dull, the corners of his mouth twitching, as if his soul had been sucked out of him.
"How could this be possible? How could Lu Yu be so capable..."
"Of course he did!" The manager slammed his hands on the table until they were red and swollen. "I told you not to offend Lu Yu and not to cause trouble. It was bad enough that you wrote such an innuendo-filled essay last time, and now... Isn't this obviously a suicide attack? This isn't your first day as an artist, how could you do such a stupid thing!"
The blood color on Cheng Ranxing's face faded completely, and she clutched her hair tightly with both hands. Tears flowed from the corners of her eyes like a dam bursting, and her makeup was quickly smudged.
The only thing I’m thankful for is that I haven’t started the live broadcast yet, otherwise I would be so embarrassed. But the situation is not much better now, and I’m almost going to be soft banned.
The agent paced in circles in the room, making countless phone calls, and in the end he wanted to cry along with the others.
"At this point, I can only apologize," the agent pinched his brows tiredly, "I'll have the PR department draft an apology statement for you. You don't need to do anything recently. Just stay out of the spotlight first."
The agent slammed the door and left. Cheng Ranxing cried even harder, with snot and tears running down her face, and she used up pack after pack of tissues.
It was so embarrassing, she had never been so embarrassed before.
If she had known that this would be the outcome of a fraud, she would never have had anything to do with Lu Yu.
While I was crying, the cell phone rang. Cheng Ranxing rubbed his red and swollen eyes and saw that the caller was Cheng Yi.
"What?" Cheng Ranxing answered the phone while blowing his nose.
"Sister, are you okay?" Cheng Yi listened to his third sister's heavy nasal tone and greeted her carefully.
Cheng Ranxing burst into tears again: "No, I'm not okay at all. I never thought that one day I would fall for a man!"
"Oh, sister," Cheng Yi sighed and counseled her, "There are thousands of men in the world. If Lu Yu isn't good enough, we can just change him. Look, you made such a fuss, but he was unscathed. In the end, the boomerang still pierced you."
Cheng Ranxing's heart, which had been pierced like a sieve, became even more blocked after hearing these words: "What do you mean, are you here to laugh at me too?"
"No, I want to persuade you." Cheng Yi considered her pain point and simply gave her a strong dose to get rid of the root of the problem. "Let's not like Lu Yu anymore, okay? I heard that he doesn't like women, but likes to fight with bayonets and mess around with men. Maybe he has some problems in that aspect."
Cheng Ranxing was stunned for a moment, and then again. When he came to his senses, his face turned red and he yelled at the top of his lungs: "I don't like him at all!!!"
After hanging up the phone, Cheng Yi rubbed his eardrums, savored his third sister's roar, and his brows gradually relaxed.
Even though I was scolded, I felt inexplicably happy.
So Cheng Ranxing had been lying to him before. She didn't like Lu Yu at all, and there was no such thing as a beautiful past, let alone a deep and lasting love.
It’s okay if you don’t like it, that’s great! Cheng Yi let out a long sigh of relief, the heavy stone on his heart finally fell to the ground...
But putting aside the big stone of Cheng Ranxing, his guilt towards Lu Yu still increased a lot.
In order to cut off Cheng Ranxing's "evil fate", he even fabricated Lu Yu's sexual orientation, saying that he liked to have sex with men and that he might have a hidden problem in that area...
It was a sin, a great sin. When everything was settled, he would have to bring a whip and go to apologize in person. Whether he would be beaten or scolded was up to Lu Yu to decide.
*
Cheng Ranxing issued an apology statement in the evening of the next day, which was pinned on the page for a year, begging Lu Yu for forgiveness.
It was time to get off work, and the corridor was filled with the sound of colleagues eating melons, all of them mocking her.
"It's so funny. Yesterday she was clamoring to do a live broadcast to tell everyone the story of her and "a certain man named L". Today she knelt down and apologized. The slap in the face came too quickly."
"It's said that all marketing accounts are bad, they are all traffic parasites. She was also badly cheated by the marketing accounts, so she is now honest."
"She is miserable? Our President Lu is the one who got into trouble. I have never seen President Lu look at any beautiful woman more, but she actually made up a rumor that he is a scumbag."
"She deserves it. She deserves it. Harming others will only harm herself. I don't know if Mr. Lu will continue to pursue her. If I were Mr. Lu, I would force her to quit the circle."
Cheng Yi remained silent and did not join the crowd in attacking his third sister. He was about to go to the restaurant when he heard a voice coming from above his head.
"Come out to dinner with me tonight, and then come back to work overtime."
Cheng Yi looked up and saw that it was Lu Yu.
"Okay, Mr. Lu." He followed his boss out the door.
I thought my boss had some business affairs to attend to, so I took him along, but when we got to the restaurant, I realized it was just the two of them.
What’s more, the name of the restaurant is quite suggestive: Eat with Your Loved One.
Cheng Yi: “……?”
What kind of name is this? He couldn't help wondering in his heart.
The restaurant is a private restaurant with very expensive prices. Lu Yu ordered all the signature dishes and special dishes. Cheng Yi looked at him carefully again, and seemed to understand a little bit.
Lu Yu didn't wear glasses today. I guess I only read half of the restaurant's name. I didn't see "sweetheart" and only saw "eat eat eat".
Understand, understand, people will act in revenge after experiencing some unpleasant things.
"Mr. Lu must have been under a lot of pressure these past two days, right?" Cheng Yi took the initiative to help people with the soup, with a concerned expression on his face, "It's all over, it's all over, eat more, actually I often relieve stress by showing off my food."
Lu Yu raised his eyelids and looked at him: "Who told you that I'm under a lot of pressure?"
"Ah, the recent hot search..." Cheng Yi couldn't find a suitable way to describe it, "I just think it must be hard for you to be slandered innocently."
Lu Yu lowered his eyes, his black pupils were calm, but seemed to hide a very subtle emotion.
"I don't care," he said after a moment's silence, "as long as you understand, I don't have any so-called 'good old days' with that female star."
"Huh?" Cheng Yi was stunned.
What does this have to do with him.
"Speaking of this matter," Lu Yu changed the subject, "How did you know that Cheng Ranxing wanted to scam me at the party, and even discussed the substitute plan with Lu Lingyi?"
"Well," Cheng Yi grinned awkwardly. He guessed that Lu Yu would ask him this question. "When I was in school, I was Cheng Ranxing's illegitimate child, so I knew a few paparazzi. At that time, I secretly followed her schedule."
"There is a paparazzi who is still in contact with me. I met him recently and he revealed this explosive news to me. He said that Cheng Ranxing hired his friend's team to make a big move."
He made up the story so vividly that he almost believed it, but Lu Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, and a barely detectable emotion flashed in his eyes.
Is this really the case?
It feels like something is wrong.
Although he didn't know much about the entertainment industry and star chasing, one thing was certain: if he wanted to get the artist's schedule from the paparazzi, he would have to pay real money.
According to his understanding of Cheng Yi, he lived in poverty when he was studying, so how could he have spare money to chase stars?
Lu Yu wanted to ask clearly, but when he saw Cheng Yi's clear and bright eyes, he suppressed his doubts in his heart.
"So in that case, it was you who helped me avoid the risk." He continued.
Cheng Yi raised his lips: "You're welcome, it's my duty~"
Lu Yu didn't say anything else and gestured: "Let's eat."
Cheng Yi relaxed, started showing off, and was soon conquered by the delicious food.
"It's so delicious," he exclaimed, chewing and savoring the food carefully, his eyes full of the concentration that is unique to eating, "Mr. Lu, how did you find this treasure restaurant?"
"Search." Lu Yu said briefly.
He didn't tell Cheng Yi that the key words he searched for were "Top 3 best restaurants for dates."
The lighting in the box was soft, and the air was filled with the faint scent of candles. There was an oil painting on the wall, depicting a couple hugging each other and looking at the stars. Lu Yu stared at the painting for a long time, until Cheng Yi looked up and followed his gaze.
"Do you like oil paintings, Mr. Lu?" He glanced at the painting and turned back to ask.
"Generally speaking," Lu Yu said, "the content expressed in that painting is more attractive."
Cheng Yi turned his head and took another look. A couple looking at the starry sky?
Hiss, Lu Yu is not the gentle and romantic type. What’s going on?
Lu Yu withdrew his gaze from the oil painting, watched Cheng Yi holding his chin in thought, and curled his lips slightly.
The meal took quite a long time and it was almost 8 o'clock when we came out of the restaurant.
As soon as he got into the car, Lu Yu's cell phone rang. The quiet environment inside the car allowed Cheng Yi to roughly hear what the caller was saying.
"Mr. Lu, the advertisements and variety shows that Cheng Ranxing was about to sign have all been terminated by the brand. After verification, she has another movie to start shooting next year. Do you need me to help contact the investor to withdraw the investment?"
"Oh yes, there is also a well-known paparazzi who took the initiative to provide me with some negative information about Cheng Ranxing. If the negative information is exposed at this time, her image will inevitably be further damaged, and her commercial value will plummet."
Cheng Yi pricked up his ears to listen roughly, and his heart suddenly rose to his throat again.
Just as Lu Yu was about to speak, he suddenly turned around and grabbed his wrist: "Boss Lu, think twice."
Lu Yu was startled, and hung up the phone for the time being, then turned around and looked at him: "Why, are you still a fan of Cheng Ranxing?"
"Oh, no, no." Cheng Yi quickly denied it, his eyes dodging.
Now her third sister has fallen to the bottom overnight and her career is in jeopardy. If there is no movie pie next year and some negative information is released, I think he will be ruined.
Maybe he will end up in a mental hospital like Cheng Laoer and spend the rest of his life there.
"I've stopped being a fan of stars like this for a long time... I'm mainly afraid, afraid that she will retaliate against you." Cheng Yi swallowed his throat and said, "The economic situation is not good now, and everyone is very angry. I saw a news report yesterday that two people who had a minor conflict stabbed each other with scissors on the street."
"Based on the years I spent as a stalker, I know very well that Cheng Ranxing is impulsive and vengeful. I'm afraid that she really holds a grudge against you and will do something to hurt you again."
Lu Yu listened to Cheng Yi's words silently. Although he felt that this idea was a bit naive, when he saw the anxiety on the young man's face, a warm current surged in his heart.
This worry was unnecessary, but he was relieved. A warmth filled with deep satisfaction spread from his heart. Just like Lu Lingyi said, Cheng Yi had him in his heart, but he might not have realized it yet.
Lu Yu took a deep breath and called back the person who had just called: "Forget it," he said, "Cheng Ranxing's matter ends here."
Huh—after hearing this, Cheng Yi’s tense heartstrings finally relaxed.
"Be good at keeping a distance so that we can meet again in the future. Mr. Lu, you really have a broad perspective." He gave Lu Yu a thumbs up and praised him frequently.
Lu Yu's dark eyes stared at his face for a while. Then he stretched out his hand, placed his palm on Cheng Yi's thumb which was still raised, and gently pressed it down.
“I’m afraid I don’t have a big picture view,” he said. “I’m doing this for you because you want me to.”
