Chapter 85: Gu Beicheng Gets Slapped in the Face

"Mr. Xu..." Gu Beicheng heard Xu Tian's explanation, and the arc of his mouth was clearly a bit stiff.

He knew Xu Tian had no ability, but he didn't expect Xu Tian to be so overestimating his own capabilities.

This time, Shang Yiran's scandal couldn't even be properly handled by a public relations team that had been in the circle for more than ten years. Where did this outsider Xu Tian get the confidence to say he could definitely solve it perfectly?

However, in front of Tang Bingyan, Gu Beicheng still maintained a gentle and elegant image.

He just frowned with some hesitation and advised: "If you fail, you will definitely anger the girl's parents, and it will probably be even more difficult to talk about a settlement then. I know you mean well, but it's better to leave this matter to a professional team to handle. Don't you think so, Bingyan?"

After Gu Beicheng finished speaking, he turned to look at Tang Bingyan.

Tang Bingyan was the most decisive woman he had ever seen. He believed that she could tolerate Xu Tian only because Xu Tian hadn't touched her bottom line yet.

When it comes to fundamental interests, no one can influence her, not even Xu Tian!

However.

The next second.

"Then let him try."

Slap!

Gu Beicheng only felt an invisible slap hit his face hard.

Before Gu Beicheng could recover, Tang Bingyan spoke again:

"Starting tomorrow, let Xu Tian serve as the General Manager of Tian Feng Entertainment. You let the company cooperate with him to handle Shang Yiran's dispute."

Tang Bingyan's words made Gu Beicheng's brows furrow suddenly.

He was silent for a moment, and then he didn't persuade Tang Bingyan to give up the idea, but his mind turned, and he changed his words:

"It's fine to let Mr. Xu handle it, but it's better to slow down the matter of letting him serve as General Manager. If Mr. Xu suddenly parachutes in as manager, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among other senior executives in the company and put too much pressure on Mr. Xu."

"Besides, if Mr. Xu's method doesn't work, then he, as General Manager, will have to take full responsibility, and because of his relationship with you, Bingyan, it will also affect your and the company's reputation."

"It's better to let Mr. Xu try as an ordinary employee first. If he can reverse the situation and solve this public relations crisis, then we can logically let him serve as General Manager, and it won't give people a handle."

Gu Beicheng knew Tang Bingyan too well; once the other party made a decision, it wouldn't be easily changed.

And compared to letting Xu Tian work at Tang Bingyan's company, Gu Beicheng didn't want Xu Tian's identity to be exposed even more.

Once Xu Tian was directly appointed as General Manager, just by the gossip level of the company's employees, they might find out that he and Tang Bingyan were already a legal married couple, which was also what Gu Beicheng least wanted to see.

Tang Bingyan frowned slightly. She had actually wanted Xu Tian to work at her company a long time ago, but unfortunately, Xu Tian refused her and insisted on returning to the Xu family to work.

Now that Xu Tian had finally taken the initiative to help, she naturally had to give him a higher position to keep him.

However, just as she was about to say something, Xu Tian suddenly said: "I think Gu Xiansheng's suggestion is very good. I really don't know much about the operation of an entertainment company."

"Someone will help you understand." Tang Bingyan's tone was unquestionable, and it was clear that she must let Xu Tian directly serve as the manager.

"Wife, I just want to help you solve this crisis. As for the position, it will be more convincing after I make some achievements."

However, Tang Bingyan's brows furrowed even tighter when she heard this.

Seeing that Tang Bingyan refused to agree, Xu Tian sighed and finally decided to use his trump card.

He squatted down slightly in front of Tang Bingyan, looked up at her seriously and intently: "I don't want to be called a freeloader who only relies on his wife by others. Wife, just give me a chance to perform, okay?"

Tang Bingyan's ears burned from being called "wife" by Xu Tian a few times. In front of Gu Beicheng, she still maintained the image of a domineering female president who remained unmoved, but in the end, she relented according to Xu Tian's wishes.

"Then listen to you, but if anyone dares to make things difficult for you, just tell me directly."

Xu Tian smiled slightly: "There's no need to trouble Wife for such a small matter. I believe Gu Xiansheng will definitely arrange it for me."

He achieved his goal, looked back at Gu Beicheng with a smile, and meaningfully deepened his tone: "Gu Xiansheng, don't you think so?"

Gu Beicheng was stunned, then nodded slightly, pulling the somewhat stiff corners of his mouth: "Bingyan, I will arrange Mr. Xu's onboarding procedures."

At the same time, in a wealthy villa area in Jiang City.

Reporters who had already received the news surrounded every entrance and exit airtight.

When they saw Shang Yiran's car appear, they swarmed over like flies smelling blood, surrounding the entire car.

As soon as Shang Yiran got out of the car, he was almost poked in the face by the microphones held over.

He dodged back with some disgust, quickly lowered his hat brim, and pulled up his collar.

"Shang Yiran, do you have any explanation for the recent uproar about you being accused of molesting an underage girl?"

"Are you really, as the news report says, long-term molesting and harassing the minors you sponsor?"

"You have been sponsoring poor students for the past few years. Are you using this as a cover to cover up some of your perverted hobbies?"

"Half of the poor students you sponsor are girls. Does this mean you have been planning this for a long time?"

Facing these sharp and mean questions, Shang Yiran just sank his face, blocked his entire face with his hat and collar, and walked toward the villa with his head down under the escort of his manager and bodyguards.

Manager Zhou Ping blocked half of his body in front of Shang Yiran, while pushing away the microphones and cameras of the reporters for Shang Yiran.

"Sorry, we are not accepting interviews for the time being. At the same time, we are also actively collecting evidence and will soon give everyone a satisfactory answer. Our Yiran is law-abiding and upright, and will absolutely not do things that violate moral bottom lines."

Just as their group was walking toward the villa, a tall and thin reporter suddenly rushed out and blocked Zhou Ping and Shang Yiran.

"Law-abiding and upright? Heh, stop talking nonsense. Look at these photos of you and these underage schoolgirls in the same room. Doesn't this explain the problem?"

In fact, the photos these reporters took were all on the Internet. They were photos left by the company to promote Shang Yiran's charity. When taking photos, Shang Yiran and the students he sponsored were eating snacks and chatting in the same room.

But the screenshots taken out by this reporter deliberately erased several male students, creating the illusion that Shang Yiran was alone in the same room with underage schoolgirls.

Shang Yiran was blocked and had to stop. He looked up at the photo that had been deliberately tampered with and clenched his fists in anger.

And other reporters saw this tall and thin reporter take out the photo and squeezed toward Shang Yiran's direction even more excitedly.

"Shang Yiran, now that there is photo evidence, do you still want to quibble? You sponsored students in poor school districts just to satisfy your own selfish desires, right?"

"The victim has personally admitted that you gave her a drink that would make her sleepy, and you also took off her skirt. She is still a minor. How can you do such a disgusting and low-class thing?"

"It's a pity that you showed a positive image in front of outsiders before, but behind your back, you have no bottom line, and you actually threatened underage girls in the name of charity. Aren't you afraid of retribution?" ===== CHAPTER 86 =====
