Chapter 111 Let her go
Lin Zhihao and her companion didn't pack anything extra; they simply got dressed and were ready to leave.
Sitting in the car, Lin Zhihao began to inquire about the current situation of Shi Xingchen and the others. She mentioned that even Shi Xingchen, a public figure, could be injured, so what about Xiao Yuan...?
"It's alright, I've already arranged for people to protect them." Fang Xiao reassured Lin Zhihao not to worry. "It just means we'll probably need to disappear for a while. There are all sorts of detailed stories about you circulating online."
Lin Zhihao listened to Fang Xiao speak while constantly scrolling through her phone.
[Shocking! His identity is actually this!]
Lou Su, He Manman
Lou Su, the pervert.
【...】
Some netizens speculated that Lou Su had a mysterious identity, and some of He Manman's fans even went to Lou Su's comment section to scold him for threatening their Manman to submit to him.
The more Lin Zhihao scrolled through the pages, the more she marveled at the rich imaginations of netizens. Their arguments were so logical and well-founded that if the protagonist wasn't herself, she would have believed the nonsense circulating online.
"Have you figured out how to solve this?" Fang Xiao asked, seeing Lin Zhihao constantly refreshing the trending topics related to herself.
"Let's wait and see who's behind this. Just this little thing between me and Manman has been spread like this, there must be someone behind it."
"Moreover," Lin Zhihao's gaze lingered on a face on the phone screen. This girl claimed to be one of his artists, and not only did he ignore her and leave her to fend for herself, he also threatened and intimidated her, trying to force her into bed with him?
That's not the worst part. The worst part is saying she has some kind of quirk?
Watching the girl's video of her report, Lin Zhihao had an MVP thought in her mind, but she didn't know whether she should say it or not.
Faced with this unfamiliar face, everyone wanted to rush up to her and ask, 'Who are you?'
Lin Zhihao was completely baffled. Although she was indeed not very responsible, she should only have Shi Xingchen as her artist. When did she become this strange girl's manager, and a manager who was sexually harassed in the workplace at that?
Upon entering the personnel department of Starway, Lin Zhihao indeed found the information of the girl who was crying in the incident.
"Mu Xinyi, female, 16 years old, artist signed with Starway Entertainment, ...personal relationship page, agent Lou Su"
Lin Zhihao: "?" The other person really is one of her artists, and has been with her for over a month. "Huh?"
Just then, Nani called, "Lou Su?"
"Ms. Na, it's me."
"Well, I mainly wanted to explain the specifics to you. Mu Xinyi is indeed an artist you manage. When she joined the company, due to a shortage of staff, she was registered under your name. Later, her performance didn't improve much, so the company forgot to change her manager. I didn't expect her to do something like this."
Nani's tone was full of helplessness, because she hadn't arranged things properly. She thought it was just a nominal appointment and would be changed later, so she didn't tell Lou Su about it.
Hearing Nani's explanation, Lin Zhi chuckled and asked, "President Nani, aren't you afraid that what's circulating online might be true? You trust me that much?"
“Heh~” Nani chuckled, “Since we work together, there’s no question of trust between us.”
"Haha, okay then, how long will it take for the company to give us the results?" With Nani around, Lin Zhihao didn't think she needed to deal with the rumors herself. Since Nani took the initiative to call her to explain the reasons, Lin Zhihao believed that she didn't need to get involved.
“It’s been three days and we’re already investigating. The problem right now is that Mu Xinyi’s parents refuse to let us see her. I’ll try to find a way to meet with her.”
"Alright, then I'll trouble you, Ms. Na~" The matter with He Manman is not in a hurry to be resolved; the issue of bullying a minor girl is what has attracted the attention of netizens.
Due to Shi Xingchen's injury and the boycott by most netizens, Shi Xingchen's scenes in "Shadow" were suspended during filming.
A video of Shi Xingchen standing and handing Lin Zhihao potato chips while she was sitting in a chair was dug up by netizens, who said that Lou Su bullied Shi Xingchen in the workplace. Although Shi Xingchen issued a statement to refute the rumors, some netizens still believed that Shi Xingchen was threatened.
For three days, Lin Zhihao and He Manman stayed in the villa, drinking tea and playing with birds. All of their electronic devices were confiscated, and Lin Zhihao's previous residence was spray-painted with various insulting words.
To prevent Lin Zhihao from being frightened, Fang Xiao confiscated their electronic devices, forcing them to stay at home every day to play mahjong, video games, and snacks.
Shi Xingchen repeatedly posted articles to clear Lin Zhihao's name, but no one paid any attention to her.
For three whole days, it was as if Lou Su had never existed on the internet; she had vanished without a trace, as if she had never been there at all.
The comment and private message functions on Lou Su's personal account were locked. Netizens could not see her and could not wait for an explanation, so they rushed downstairs at Xingtu and held up signs to speak out for Mu Xinyi.
Because she didn't respond to the incident, Mu Xinyi even filmed a video explaining the details of her being molested and revealing Lou Su's physical characteristics.
Netizens became even more agitated, with many girls spontaneously sharing videos about Mu Xinyi, and the popularity of the video grew rapidly.
For three days straight, the entire company at Xingtu was in meetings discussing solutions.
"Ms. Na, we have been actively communicating with Mu Xinyi's parents these past two days, but they are still unwilling to let Mu Xinyi speak out, and even kicked us out."
"Yes, Ms. Na, this matter has caused such a big stir that our company's market value has dropped by several percentage points."
"Moreover, we made multiple requests to meet. Mu Xinyi's parents even posted that they had received threats from us. Many people spontaneously organized to guard the door for them, so we couldn't get in at all."
Inside the office, the heads of Xingtu's superior departments spoke one after another.
Nani, sitting in the main seat, frowned deeply. What exactly went wrong? They had already taken steps to suppress the hype, but it seemed like some force behind the scenes was challenging them and constantly adding fuel to the fire.
"Besides asking Mu Xinyi to take the initiative, is there any other way to resolve this matter and reduce its impact on the company?" Nani asked the people at the desk.
The question caused the noisy office to fall silent for a moment.
Nani: "?"
"Isn't there any other solution?"
After exchanging glances with the others, the PR executive sitting next to Nani clasped his hands together and carefully spoke, "There's another way."
Nani looked at the person and said, "Speak."
"That's right, that's right. Firing Lou Su is the fastest and most effective way we can think of to solve the problem and shift all the blame onto him."
boom!
Nani slammed her hand on the table, wanting to say thank you, but couldn't get the words out. After calming herself down, Nani finally spoke, "Think about it again. If we don't think about solving the problem when something happens today, but instead think about killing our own people, then if we encounter similar situations in the future, will our company gradually become deserted?"
After saying that, Nani left the meeting room first, leaving the others looking at each other in bewilderment.
"It's no use talking to her. I don't know what kind of spell Lou Su has cast on President Na. Even though there's an easy way to solve the problem, she insists on protecting him!"
"Yeah yeah."
"Yes, yes."
"Well, what can we do? They're higher-ranking than us. Alright, meeting adjourned, let's get back to work."
"Tsk, staying up all night for an agent, what kind of nonsense is this?"
In the corner, a man, having successfully muddied the waters, gracefully withdrew from the scene.
