Chapter 85: Some Things

This was the thing that gave Zhou Ping'an the biggest headache.

Lu Yan He suddenly became an artist with a very positive social impact and also caught the eye of President Hong Qi. If the company rashly drove him away, not to mention what President Hong would think, public opinion would spray them to death.

Even Vice President Ma couldn't afford to take this blame.

However, fortunately, as time passed after the incident, the heat of this matter slowly subsided, and now there was no longer very high heat on the Internet.

Zhou Ping'an was just waiting for this matter to slowly pass.

After "Small Song Gathering" and "Workplace Technology," he didn't take any other shows for Lu Yan He. Other invitations that came in were shelved for two days, and then people turned to find others.

This matter cannot be done too obviously; it can only be done silently.

Suddenly, his phone rang.

It was already seven o'clock in the evening after Lu Yan He finished recording "Workplace Technology."

He went straight back to the Hongfu residential area.

Who knew that many people were gathered at the entrance of the Hongfu residential area, and he didn't know what was going on.

Lu Yan He was blocked by these people, so he had to go around to another door.

"There are many people blocking the door. What's going on?" As soon as he entered the door, Lu Yan He asked.

Yan Liang made a "shh" gesture to him.

Lu Yan He was stunned.

Yan Liang pointed to the door of Li Zhibai's room.

He walked to Lu Yan He and whispered: "Something happened to Li Zhibai's dad's company."

"Huh?" Lu Yan He asked suspiciously, "What happened?"

"He didn't say, but I saw someone on the Internet saying that an employee of Li Zhibai's dad jumped off a building," Yan Liang said. "The people at the entrance of the residential area are the family members of the employee who jumped off the building. They don't know where they found out that Li Zhibai lives here, so they came looking for him, saying that the company must be responsible for this matter."

Lu Yan He was very puzzled: "They should go to Li Zhibai's dad for this kind of thing. Why come to Li Zhibai?"

"Li Zhibai's parents are not in the country; only he is here," Yan Liang said. "Now we don't know what's going on. Li Zhibai received a call from his mom, telling him not to go out for these few days and wait for the police to investigate what's going on."

Lu Yan He nodded.

He asked: "Have you guys had dinner yet?"

"Not yet," Yan Liang sighed. "We only received the news half an hour ago and rushed back from the company. We didn't expect to run into those people at the entrance of the residential area, even faster than us."

Lu Yan He looked worriedly at Li Zhibai's tightly closed door and said: "Let's have dinner first. I'll cook."

Yan Liang: "I'll cook. You go read. I'll call you when it's ready."

Lu Yan He returned to his room and took out his book, but he couldn't calm down.

Will this matter have any impact on Li Zhibai?

Now many celebrity artists are being boycotted because of their family's problems.

If that person really jumped off the building because of the company's problems, then Li Zhibai might really be implicated.

Yan Liang stir-fried a few dishes and called them out for dinner.

Lu Yan He knocked on Li Zhibai's door.

"Let's have dinner first."

Li Zhibai's muffled voice came from inside: "I'm not eating. You guys eat."

Lu Yan He continued to knock on the door.

"If you don't eat, we can't eat either," he said.

Yan Liang whispered: "If he doesn't want to eat now, just forget it."

Can't forget it.

Lu Yan He thought to himself, at this time, he can't be left alone.

Sure enough, Lu Yan He's words still worked.

Li Zhibai came out.

A layer of irritability appeared on his face, and he said: "Eat."

Lu Yan He nodded.

He wouldn't say "being anxious is useless" at this time, but the meal that should be eaten cannot be missed.

"When will your parents be back?" he asked.

"They have already bought the nearest flight, but they won't arrive until the day after tomorrow morning."

"Mm, wait a bit. When your parents come back, this matter will be solved," Lu Yan He said.

Li Zhibai sighed.

"I know the person who jumped off the building."

"Huh?" Lu Yan He and Yan Liang both looked at him in surprise.

"He was my dad's former assistant, and later went to be the person in charge of a project group below. When I was a child, there was a period of time when he picked me up and dropped me off when I went to school."

"Then—do you know why he suddenly jumped off the building?" Lu Yan He asked.

Li Zhibai shook his head: "I haven't had contact with him since then, and I haven't heard my parents mention him. I don't really communicate with my parents now anyway."

"No matter what, let's eat first," Lu Yan He said. "I'm hungry."

Li Zhibai nodded.

Usually temperamental and speaking without thinking, he was obviously wilted at this time.

Yan Liang felt uncomfortable watching, but Lu Yan He treated it normally.

"I recorded a show today, and the two people I recorded with argued." Lu Yan He told the story of Chen Jiping and Chen Bing arguing.

Yan Liang's attention was attracted by this matter.

"Then what happened later?"

"Re-recorded, and acted according to the script written by the screenwriter before," Lu Yan He said. "After recording, the two of them left without saying a word."

Yan Liang sighed and said: "Sigh."

Li Zhibai asked: "Do you have any more shows to record later?"

Lu Yan He shook his head: "I only received notifications for these two jobs."

"Huh? How could this be?" Yan Liang asked suspiciously. "I heard people in the company say before that you are very popular now and have more than a dozen shows inviting you."

"Maybe Zhou Ping'an blocked them," Lu Yan He said. "You guys know, he doesn't like me."

"Really speechless," Li Zhibai said.

Hearing that he finally started to have other reactions, Lu Yan He laughed.

"Anyway, I'm already used to it."

The three of them talked about this while eating.

The shadow brought by the jump of someone in Li Zhibai's dad's company gradually dissipated.

The atmosphere was a little more relaxed.

But Lu Yan He himself knew that this was just a stopgap measure.

The key to the matter still depends on what is going on.

If it is really Li Zhibai's dad who treated people badly and forced someone to jump off the building, then the shadow brought by this matter will be infinitely expanded.

The doorbell rang.

Lu Yan He went to open the door and looked through the peephole, only to find that the person who came was Zhou Ping'an.

"Is Li Zhibai there?" Zhou Ping'an asked as soon as he entered.

"Yes."

Zhou Ping'an entered, looked at Li Zhibai, sighed, and said: "I already know about your family's affairs. Don't go out these few days, just stay here and wait until things are solved, you know?"

Li Zhibai said "Mm."

Zhou Ping'an hesitated for a moment and asked again: "Have your parents contacted you?"

"They will arrive the day after tomorrow morning."

"That's good." Zhou Ping'an nodded, looking at Li Zhibai with a complex expression, no longer as enthusiastic and intimate as before. "Sigh, such a thing happened, and it has already been exposed on the Internet. What exactly is going on, we have to wait for your parents to come back to be clear. Don't go online, and don't confront or argue with those people. This will only increase troubles and won't solve any problems, you know?"

"Okay." ===== CHAPTER 86 =====
