Chapter 36: How about tonight?

Unexpectedly, Lin Yeman's next sentence instantly put Shen Huai's hanging heart back at ease.

"Search the internet yourself; are there really so few gossip stories about this only son of the Shen Family?"

"So many people have borrowed this Shen Family only son's name, have you ever seen this young master come out to clarify even once?"

"Not even once, not even a single statement; it just goes to show that he doesn't care about public opinion at all."

"Since that is the case, what is there to worry about?"

Hearing this.

Shen Huai's expression suddenly became somewhat awkward.

What does it mean to not care? It's just that he doesn't know about it at all, okay?

In his daily life, Shen Huai had never been able to muster the slightest interest in those entertainment industry scandals.

So when Lin Yeman said these things in such an understated way, Shen Huai's worldview was greatly shocked.

He never imagined.

That before he had even entered this world, the world was already full of legends about him.

No wonder his mother often called him, opening with things like, "Don't I already know about those little messes of yours?"

Her words were full of mockery.

He had originally thought she had discovered his nature as a scumbag.

As it turned out, she was actually just eating melons at her own son's expense and calling specifically to laugh at him.

"You are clearly just gambling," Tong Yue said through gritted teeth.

"That's right, I am gambling."

Lin Yeman comfortably pulled over a chair and sat back on it.

Her black-stockinged legs were slightly crossed, and she tilted her head up, her gaze sweeping softly and charmingly over Tong Yue's indignant eyes.

"But, so what?"

"Isn't life just a high-stakes gamble?"

"Besides."

Lin Yeman changed the subject, a faint smile curling on her lips, "Team Leader Tong, you don't need to worry at all. I, Lin Yeman, can guarantee you that the Shen Family will absolutely not jump out to oppose us."

There was a ripple of laughter in Lin Yeman's eyes, looking as if victory was already in her grasp.

"Team Leader Lin is so confident?" Tong Yue frowned.

"That's right, I am just that confident."

Lin Yeman changed the way her legs were crossed and leaned her body against the armrest, "Since I dared to bring up the Shen Family, I naturally made all the preparations."

"What preparations?" Tong Yue immediately pressed.

"A secret."

Lin Yeman gave a sly smile, which made Tong Yue want to slap her own mouth.

"Although I cannot tell you for the time being, Team Leader Tong, you only need to know one thing."

"And that is that I, Lin Yeman, never fight a battle I cannot win."

After saying this.

Lin Yeman's beautiful eyes flickered, her gaze falling on Shen Huai with a suggestive meaning.

This look gave Shen Huai goosebumps.

"... Team Leader Tong, the wind direction... seems to have really changed."

Just as the atmosphere in the office became tense and ready to explode.

Fu Hai timidly blurted out a sentence.

"What did you say?"

Tong Yue rushed over in a single bound, staring fixedly at the computer screen.

Just after Yu Xiang logged into Li Xinran and Zhang Hao's account and uploaded a kissing photo.

Public opinion instantly reversed!

All the abusive terms like "homewrecker," "cheater," "slut," and "strip her of her womanhood" were all gone.

Those little fairies in Li Xinran's comment section.

Were all completely and thoroughly conquered by the visual shock brought by this photo.

"Holy crap, this photo is truly high-definition, was it taken point-blank?!! This man, my god, so handsome!"

"The previous photos were too blurry; looking at this one, this Shen Family only son is really a billion times handsome!"

"If he were my boyfriend, I'd tie him to the bed every single day... how would I have the energy to cheat?"

"Did you guys see the exposé about Yang Shuhua's husband? He owes a lot of money from gambling outside. It's said that Yang Shuhua's comeback the year before last was just to pay off her husband's gambling debts!"

"My god, how disgusting. You'd have to be brain-dead to choose that old, ugly man who also owes money!"

"Only Yang Shuhua treats her husband like a treasure, even speaking up for him at the press conference."

"This artist Li Xinran is worth following; she's truly public about having a boyfriend!"

"..."

Countless netizens were frantically leaving comments and flooding the screen. In less than an hour.

Li Xinran's comment section had practically become a fan-girling session for Shen Huai.

The words in the comments were one more straightforward than the next.

It made Tong Yue blush with shame just looking at them.

"He didn't even show his face, yet he could make this group of girls this excited. I can't understand it," Tong Yue shook her head in disdain.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Team Leader Tong, this is where you don't understand the romance of it all."

Lin Yeman stood up from her chair with a smile and walked slowly toward Tong Yue: "Handsome isn't something that necessarily requires showing one's face."

"For girls, handsome is just a feeling, an atmosphere."

Lin Yeman looked at the look in Tong Yue's eyes, which was so determined it was as if she were about to join the Party, and sighed while shaking her head.

"Sigh, talking about this to someone who has never had such a wonderful experience is like playing the lute to a cow."

"When Team Leader Tong finally dates someone, she will naturally get the hang of it."

Lin Yeman's words caused Tong Yue's face to flush red instantly.

She shot a glare like a knife fiercely at Shen Huai.

"Shen Huai! Do you think Team Leader Lin makes sense?"

Caught in the middle, Shen Huai's hanging heart finally died.

Facing Tong Yue's death stare, Shen Huai cleared his throat and said: "I personally believe that different views on love are all worthy of respect."

The smile in Lin Yeman's eyes cooled for a moment.

Then the corners of her eyes lifted again, and she clapped lightly: "As expected of the newcomer who parachuted into the Public Relations Department, your ability to adapt on the spot is truly strong."

"Focusing on offending no one, right?"

She paused.

Lin Yeman beckoned to Li Xinran, signaling her to follow.

"I have helped as much as I can; for the time being, I will have to trouble Team Leader Tong further."

"How much traffic this public opinion can ultimately bring to the Ryan Press Conference depends entirely on you."

After Lin Yeman tossed out these words lightly.

She led Li Xinran and Yu Xiang away from Public Relations Group Two with a swaying gait.

Watching Lin Yeman's arrogant appearance.

Tong Yue was so angry she couldn't catch her breath.

But to be fair, she had indeed solved her urgent need.

It was just that this public opinion was not yet stable.

If Li Xinran's public reputation was to be reborn from the ashes, there was still a tough battle to be fought.

The ancestor had finally been sent off.

Before Shen Huai could even catch his breath, his phone screen suddenly lit up.

Shen Huai was stunned for a moment, then picked up his phone to look.

【I helped you with such a big favor, aren't you going to treat me to a meal?】

It was Lin Yeman.

Looking at the message, Shen Huai couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Although Lin Yeman's move looked truly crazy and seemed like it could be countered at any moment.

It had to be said that it was indeed used very cleverly.

At the very least, it caused Li Xinran's reputation to hit rock bottom and rebound.

Transforming her from a foul-smelling mistress that everyone was attacking.

Into a real-life "Cinderella" that countless girls envied.

Coming from an ordinary background, yet able to date the son of the richest man.

This plot, whoever it was, would set imaginations running wild.

It was just that.

The questions in Shen Huai's heart had not yet been resolved.

For instance, how exactly were Lin Yeman's photos obtained? And what was the trump card that allowed her to borrow the influence of the Shen Family? Could it be that she had some connection with the Shen Family that he was unaware of?

And the most important point.

Did Lin Yeman know his true identity? These questions.

It seemed he would have to ask her in person to get the answer.

Settling his thoughts, Shen Huai quickly typed out a line.

【Fine, I'll treat you.】

【There's no time like the present, let's make it tonight, how about that?】
