While they were drinking, Liang Yin was scrolling through messages on Weibo.
The Mid-Autumn Festival Gala had stirred up a huge amount of discussion, especially the part where Da Fei had snapped at the female host.
"Da Fei went too far, didn't he? This was the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala! He took the joke too far. Did he just make a crude joke? Shouldn't someone like him be banned?"
"Heh, didn't you hear what the female host said? She made the crude joke first; Da Fei was just firing back."
"Even so, it was a bit too much. Da Fei, a man, bullying a woman, what kind of skill is that?"
"Exactly! No matter how angry Da Fei was, he shouldn't have said such nasty things, right? Does that mean we women should just be subjected to lewd jokes?"
"Requesting a ban on Da Fei for disrespecting women!"
"Guan Lu is actually quite pitiful. She was hosting a show, and as a result, she got scolded. Da Fei only knows how to sing a few songs, but he acts like he's the best, doesn't he?"
"That's right, he doesn't even take the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala seriously, and he still wants to be on the Spring Festival Gala? What a joke!"
"Heh, Da Fei, I'm tagging him. Come out and answer!"
"Guan Lu was just joking. You men are so aggressive. Apologize to all the women in society immediately!"
"..."
Online public opinion escalated, filled with abuse directed at Da Fei.
The heat even suppressed the discussion of "Loyal to the Country" and "Intimate Lover," and Lin Chudong was pushed to the forefront of the storm.
Liang Yin's expression was a bit ugly, "Da Fei, something's happened. Many big-shot accounts have reposted articles criticizing you."
From the initial few comments, it escalated into articles full of abuse, analyzing Lin Chudong's actions of insulting Guan Lu over and over again.
Even many legal bloggers came out to explain whether Da Fei's behavior constituted defamation.
Lin Chudong frowned, wondering if there were internet trolls behind today's events.
At this moment, Guan Lu and Li Zhilin were lying in the hotel bed. Guan Lu, blushing, was pressed against him, panting.
She had practically worn her tongue out today to get Zhilin to help.
"Zhilin, thank you. I'll definitely handle it well next time."
"It's really not my fault this time. Who knew he could do magic? It was like seeing a ghost."
Li Zhilin lit a cigarette and said, "Well, be careful next time. Don't think about the show for now. It's good that the station hasn't punished you. After all, you spoke out of turn first."
"Well, your online army is quite formidable. We can't stop the current public opinion. If Da Fei doesn't apologize, this won't blow over."
Li Zhilin sneered, "I have many ways to play him to death."
"Musical genius? In front of capital, he's utterly vulnerable."
After seeing Tian Yingxiong off, Lin Chudong received a WeChat message from his uncle, Wang Danian, telling him to come to the company to discuss cooperation when he had time.
Lin Chudong replied with a few polite words and then quickly returned to the studio.
Everyone sat together and held a meeting. Liang Yin said, "We don't have our own public relations department right now. Should we hire one externally? It doesn't matter if we spend some money."
Lin Chudong shook his head, "The other side's online army is very strong. Public relations probably won't be of much use. At most, it will only save me from being scolded as much."
Lin Chudong wanted to turn things around, not to compromise.
Otherwise, the fame he had painstakingly built up would be lost again.
Liang Yin asked, "What should we do then?"
Lin Chudong said, "Don't worry about it for now. I'll think of a solution later. If all else fails, I'll focus on the film industry first."
Lin Chudong dismissed everyone and called Liang Yin into the office.
"The Boss Lady, give me some money, consider it a loan."
Liang Yin took out her phone. "How much do you need? I think the daily limit is 500,000."
"Then 500,000 it is."
Now, Lin Chudong's ambition to defeat capital with talent alone was proving incredibly difficult. He couldn't avoid spending money and opening Treasure Chests.
If the other side was throwing money at you, using a water army to attack you, and you wanted to fight back with just talent? That was ridiculous, wasn't it?
Liang Yin very readily transferred 500,000 to Lin Chudong. She unconditionally supported whatever Da Fei wanted to do; she was his most solid backing, not just in words.
Lin Chudong took the money, intending to find a quiet place to open the Treasure Chests, when suddenly his phone rang.
Lin Qiqi: Da Fei, are you done with your work? I'm going to be in a show in a few days.
Lin Chudong: Not done yet, but I'll accompany you first. What do you want to eat?
Lin Qiqi: Hehe, meet at the snack street.
Lin Chudong: Okay.
"The Boss Lady, I'm taking the Electric Scooter."
Half an hour later, Lin Chudong was holding Lin Qiqi's hand, and the two of them were carrying a huge amount of food, heading straight for the Seaside Lighthouse.
It was the same place as last time, only this time it was a night scene.
The lighthouse looked beautiful at night, even though it was dark. But with a Bentley parked behind it, providing some light, it was quite pleasant.
Lin Chudong didn't drive. He always felt that driving wasn't as enjoyable as riding the Electric Scooter with her.
Sitting on the shore, Lin Qiqi took out a skewer of lamb.
"Da Fei's is so fragrant. You eat first."
As usual, Lin Chudong took the first bite. The moment he bit into it, the oil sizzled, and the aroma of the lamb and cumin was a perfect match.
That bite eased some of Lin Chudong's worries.
Lin Qiqi giggled, pulled Lin Chudong's hand over, and took a bite.
"It's really delicious, Da Fei, do you think it is?"
"Delicious."
In less than twenty minutes, all the food was devoured by the two of them.
Lin Qiqi took out two lollipops, "Da Fei, choose one."
One was strawberry flavored, the other grape. Lin Chudong took the strawberry one, tore open the wrapping, and popped it into his mouth.
Lin Qiqi carefully put the grape one in her mouth, a satisfied look on her face.
"It's really delicious."
A few minutes later, Lin Qiqi suddenly reached out and pulled the lollipop out of Lin Chudong's mouth. She applied a little force, and Lin Chudong quickly opened his mouth.
The lollipop was pulled out by her, and then, Lin Qiqi quickly took the grape-flavored lollipop from her mouth and stuffed it into Lin Chudong's mouth.
"Hehe, try mine."
Lin Chudong's face immediately turned red.
Sharing a spoon before, eating the same ice cream, had already been too much.
Now, eating a lollipop covered in her saliva, even Lin Chudong, who was thick-skinned, felt a little embarrassed.
Lin Qiqi also put his lollipop in her mouth, her small face flushed, incredibly cute.
"Da Fei, do you remember my taste? Mine is grape, yours is strawberry."
"I'll think of you when I eat strawberry-flavored lollipops in the future."
"If you miss me, eat a grape-flavored lollipop."
Lin Chudong nodded, "Okay, I got it. It's a very sweet flavor."
Your flavor.
Very sweet.
