Chapter 140

  In the room, Bai Fu Ming intervened and brought the topic back on track, and the three of them continued.

  Lu Xiaoyun, the manager of the public relations department, was responsible for resolving this matter. He cleared his throat and said: "I've already asked someone to draft a press release, which should be ready soon. I'll review it and give you both the final version. However, one press release may not be enough, as the media is currently lacking in news. Once they catch wind of something, they won't let go until they've dug deep."

  Li Jing nodded, flipping through the documents in his hand and fell silent. He had already understood the cause and effect on the way here, the public relations department reacted quickly and had drafted a general solution, which was the document he held in his hand. The overall approach was correct, but the details were still insufficient.

  "As long as the major media outlets are settled, the smaller ones won't be able to stir up any waves." Bei Fuyu pinched the fat under his chin and said, "First, we need to settle the Yu family. Just their household alone has so many mouths to feed. Xiao Jin, do you have any connections with the Yu family?"

  Li Jing nodded and said: "Right, I've already called him, he agreed to help, but his words don't carry much weight, I'm afraid..."

  "It's okay, let me handle it," said Lu Xiayun hesitantly. "But what about the other media..."

  "I've already contacted those familiar people on the road, they're all old acquaintances, the money is in place, and it's no problem to withdraw from the news for a few days." Li Jin rolled her eyes and smiled at Bei Fuming, "The only question is, will a certain someone be willing to pay up?"

  "Can you give me a discount?"

  "Go negotiate with the media brothers." Li Jin squeezed him.

  "Haha." Lu Xiao Yun laughed with schadenfreude.

  Although this time the event came with great momentum, the atmosphere of the three people was very relaxed. Everyone is an old hand at dealing with similar events, and solutions are just a matter of fine-tuning details. The meeting was more about communicating and assigning tasks. After saying a few more words, everything that needed to be said had basically been said.

  Lu Xiaoyun is a straightforward and practical person who usually acts immediately after discussing results, but this time he surprisingly didn't leave right away.

  He rolled up the documents in his hand into a cylinder, stood them upright on his thigh, and looked at Li Jin with a half-smiling expression, as if he had something to say but was holding back, waiting for someone to ask.

  Li Jincan was too lazy to bother with him, stretched out his arm and grabbed a ballpoint pen from the desk of Bei Fuming, and began writing on paper.

  It was Bailu Ming who couldn't bear to see him waste time and urged: "Speak quickly if you have something to say."

  Lu Xiao Yun finally spoke slowly and deliberately: "Don't you think it's strange? The real estate prince has a big family and business, who would dare to report him? Even if someone reported him, how coincidental is it that Xiao Su Su was among those women? It's not like Xiao Su Su being there is anything special, she brought trouble upon herself. Why are the accusations all directed at Luo Fei and the company? Saying the company didn't manage its artists well is one thing, but why also make a fuss about mistreating artists to the point where they had no choice but to take drugs?"

  "This behind-the-scenes black hand is a bit low-level." Bei Fuming smiled and said, "Who did it, do you have a number in your heart?"

  "Didn't Luo Fei say that Xiao SuSu admitted that the one who instructed her to send text messages to Luo Fei's phone was Shu Mu's agent?" Lu Xiangyun shrugged, "Then it must be Shu Mu."

  "I heard Shu Mu has already fired his agent." Bei Fongming's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

  "It's now or never," said Li Jin, raising his head decisively. "This is a great opportunity to strike at Shu Mu. If we miss it, there may not be another chance."

  "I agree." Lu Xiao Yun raised his hand.

  Bei Fengming suddenly understood that these two people were going to add fuel to the fire, fabricate facts and pour dirty water on Shu Mu.

  "You two," he pointed at them and clicked his tongue, "are utterly hopeless."

  "When fighting with someone like Shu Mu, one can't remember having a conscience." Li Jin turned around and threw the pen back on the table. "Besides, Shu Mu's gossip is a hundred times more interesting than Yi Ge's, so when shifting attention, of course, choose the most interesting one."

  After finishing speaking, he and Lu Xiao Yun exchanged a smile, two people who always had their swords drawn and were eager to bite each other every time they met, actually cooperated with each other for the first time.

  At that moment, a chill ran from the tailbone to the top of his head. Bei Fuming grasped his arm and shivered twice, saying nothing.

  "Li Jin, I've had a question for you all along." After laughing for a while, Lu Xiao Yun flattened the paper roll in his hand and suddenly became serious. "Even if you had conflicts with Shu Mu before, but Luo Fei is just starting out and is also on the path of an idol star, he has nothing to do with Shu Mu. If you want to set up a hypothetical enemy, it should be other idol artists who are at a similar level of fame, so why did you directly list Shu Mu as your competitor and become enemies with him everywhere?"

  Li Jin did not respond, but instead looked up at Lu Xiao Yun, whose gaze was even more profound than his, and he remained unmoved under his scrutiny.

  It was a long time before Li Jin finally laughed softly and sighed: "Who knows, maybe it's just because I don't like the look of him."

  "What a coincidence, I don't like him either." Lu Xiayun clapped his hands and laughed loudly, "Unexpectedly, we disagree on everything, but we agree on this issue."

  "Not exciting at all." Lin Jin sneered.

  "Right." Lu Xiao Yun deeply agreed.

  He stood up and said, it was time to go. But unexpectedly, at the moment he was about to leave, he suddenly turned his head and flashed a bright smile at Li Jincheng who was still sitting in his original position.

  "By the way, I heard you're getting married?" He pointed at the diamond ring on Li Jin's hand, "Don't forget to invite me for dinner."

  With that said, he held his head high and puffed out his chest, proud of himself for having given Li Jin another headache, as he strode back to work.

  Only in the house, Bei Fengming stared at the ring between Li Jin's fingers, and his eyes were about to pop out like discovering a new continent.

  "You, you, you... You're engaged to someone, who knows about it?" After the last kidnapping incident, Bei Fongming had already sensed something about Li Jin and Mr. Li's relationship, so he asked with a guess.

  Li Jing gave him a slanted glance, ignoring him, and went to the coat rack in the corner of the wall to take her own coat.

  "Could it be that you're engaged to someone?" Seeing him not respond, Bei Fuming made an even more probing guess.

  Li Jin put on his coat and went out.

  "You... you're really going to... " Bai Fuming slapped his thigh, "Li Jin, have you thought this through? Are you sure you want to spend the rest of your life with him?"

  "Nonsense!" Lijin pulled open the door and gave him a fierce glare. "Not with him, then with you?"

  "Stop it!" Bei Feng covered her chest with a blush, "You're going to make my goddess jealous like this."

  Li Jin quickly distanced herself from this chubby guy before he could spit it out.
