104. Chapter 104: The Power of Yan Yu

Luo Xixi went to a teahouse with Yan Yu.

Because it was the morning, there weren't many people around. Yan Yu requested a private room, and after bringing Luo Xixi inside, he took out the menu and asked, "Xixi, is there anything you'd like to drink?"

How could Luo Xixi have the heart to drink tea right now? She pressed the menu down and said to Yan Yu with a serious expression, "I don't want tea. Didn't you say you had a way to save my eldest brother? What is the method?"

Yan Yu, however, blinked at Luo Xixi and said, "There is a minimum charge here. If you don't order anything, I reckon they'll be asking us to leave in a moment."

!!!!

Luo Xixi's face darkened. She snatched the menu, scanned it once, circled the most expensive item, and handed it back to Yan Yu, saying, "Just this one!"

"Fine."

Yan Yu picked up the menu again and began to leisurely look for what he wanted to drink.

Watching this guy's slow and deliberate manner, Luo Xixi felt like she wanted to beat him up. Had this guy taken some slow-acting medicine? Could he move any faster? Didn't he know she was very anxious right now?

Luo Xixi clenched her fists and said to Yan Yu, "I'm talking to you—can you hurry up and decide what you want to drink?"

Yan Yu said innocently, "There's a lot I want to drink, it's a bit hard to choose. Why don't you choose for me, Xixi?"

The look in Luo Xixi's eyes was enough to kill this scoundrel. She snatched the menu once more, chose a drink for him, handed it directly to the waiter, and said, "Just these two cups."

However.

The waiter was a fan of Yan Yu. Seeing the idol they followed appear at the teahouse where they worked, their eyes lit up. Excitedly, they said, "Are you Yan Yu? I'm your fan, can I take a photo with you?"

Yan Yu flashed a charming smile at the person and said, "Sure, but you must keep my itinerary confidential."

"Yes, yes! I will absolutely not leak your itinerary, God Yan!"

"Thank you."

After taking a photo with the fan, Yan Yu handed the menu over and said, "Please bring us our tea."

"Okay! I'll go right now, please wait a moment!"

Having said that.

The fan immediately left the private room clutching the menu.

Once the person had left, Yan Yu looked at Luo Xixi again and chuckled, "I didn't expect to run into a fan here. Xixi, you don't mind, do you?"

Luo Xixi's face turned shades of green and white. She gave Yan Yu a forced, insincere smile and, suppressing her anger, asked, "You did that on purpose, didn't you? You're just teasing me! Don't you know my time is very tight right now? You are wasting my time!!"

Seeing that this girl was completely unmoved, Yan Yu felt a bit helpless. He sighed and said, "Xixi, I know you're anxious, but don't be in such a rush. Your dear eldest brother isn't about to die immediately. You haven't been with the Luo Family for long since you returned to them, so why do you care so much about that group of people?"

In truth, Yan Yu was quite annoyed.

He had spent years living day and night with Xixi, yet every time she saw him, she had a fierce look on her face and spoke harshly to him. How long had she even been with these Luo Family people? Why did she care so much about them?

Why?

Even if she had awakened her Self-Awareness, when it came down to it, weren't they just characters in a book? A group of people who were merely programmed.

Luo Xixi didn't know if it was her imagination, but she actually heard a hint of sourness in Yan Yu's words. However, this guy was always prone to acting up. Back at the Laboratory, he was always acting weird, constantly saying inexplicable, sour things. Later, after they left the Laboratory, when she picked up a dirty thing and brought it home, he also said she was going to have terrible luck.

In any case, there was never a word out of this person's mouth that she liked to hear!

Luo Xixi didn't want to deal with Yan Yu's psychological state either. She retorted, "Mind your own business! I *am* very anxious. If you don't know the way to save my eldest brother, I'm leaving."

As she spoke, she stood up.

"You wait right there!"

Yan Yu hurriedly grabbed Luo Xixi again. He held his forehead as if he had lost to her, let out a long sigh, and said, "You are clearly quite easygoing with everyone else, so why are you always so impatient and unwelcoming toward me? Very well, since the situation is quite urgent this time, I won't hold it against you. But if you ever yell or roar at me for the sake of others again, I won't let it slide."

"..."

Listening to Yan Yu's nagging, Luo Xixi felt more and more that there was something wrong with his brain.

Meanwhile, the Baby System confirmed once again through Yan Yu's reaction: this person really liked its Host, and was currently jealous of the Host's eldest brother, wasn't he? (☆▽☆)

"When it comes down to it, there are two main reasons why the Luo Family's situation is not optimistic right now."

Yan Yu held up two fingers in front of Luo Xixi and said, "First, your eldest brother has been exposed in a scandal, and all the evidence is currently against him. Second, Sheng Tinglan is fanning the flames behind the scenes, constantly expanding the momentum online, which has pushed the Luo Family to the forefront of the storm. Therefore, to save the Luo Family, we must attack from these two fronts. First, we cannot let the public opinion about you continue to deteriorate online."

"That won't be easy."

Luo Xixi frowned and said, "That Sheng Tinglan's public relations capability is extremely strong, one could even say it's top-tier. To turn the tables under him, we need a public relations lineup of the same level."

Luo Xixi had heard from the Baby System that, according to the book's setting, Sheng Tinglan had never lost a public relations battle. This man was the underground emperor of the internet; on the internet, he was a figure who could almost cover the sky with one hand and turn it over with the other.

"Indeed, it is not easy to reverse public opinion in that man's hands."

Mentioning Sheng Tinglan, Yan Yu observed Luo Xixi's reaction. Seeing her face full of worry and indignation, his eyes flashed, and he said to her, "Xixi, you see it now, don't you? That Sheng Tinglan is no good! For his own interests, he can even manipulate public opinion and use cyberbullying to completely 'kill' a person. It is truly a misfortune for the people that a guy with such low character possesses such great power!"

Luo Xixi also got angry at the mention of Sheng Tinglan, saying gloomily, "Isn't that the truth? That scoundrel is just like a mad dog. As soon as my eldest brother's matter was exposed, he immediately spread it all over the internet. To annex the Luo Family, he has no morals at all. How can there be such a hateful guy? Ptooey!!!"

"Hahaha..."

Hearing Luo Xixi "ptooey" at Sheng Tinglan, Yan Yu laughed very happily. He agreed repeatedly, saying, "Right, Xixi, that's it. You must stay away from such dirty things. If you get close to him, you'll be contaminated."

"Do you even need to say that?"

Luo Xixi rolled her eyes. "If he weren't constantly biting onto the Luo Family, I wouldn't even pay him any mind."

The male lead Sheng Tinglan looked so much like the dirty thing from her past life.

She was truly disgusted and annoyed to the extreme.

"Having your word is enough."

Yan Yu smiled and added, "Regarding the public opinion war online, I can certainly contribute some effort to help you turn it around. Although Sheng Tinglan's public relations lineup is world-class, mine won't be any worse."

Seeing Yan Yu's confidence, Luo Xixi thought of the matter with Suna.

At that time, the great beauty had also been harmed terribly by that scoundrel Sheng Tinglan. In the span of a single morning, almost all of the great beauty's career had been completely destroyed.

But by the afternoon, the public perception had suddenly reversed. Although there was the reason of the hidden camera video being exposed again, Luo Xixi knew very well that, in the end, the fact that the clarification video could spread online so quickly and achieve a reversal in reputation was also due to Yan Yu fanning the flames.

At that time, Luo Xixi realized that Yan Yu possessed public relations power that did not lose to Sheng Tinglan's.
