Chapter 9: Live broadcast!

【Well, it's fine not to have Zhang Yi; this person has plenty of resources but is overly stiff and easy to deceive—deceive him in the name of justice, and you'll succeed every time.】

Su Yu muttered to herself, she thought of her cheat.

【System, quickly check who these three people are; I only know their names, I can't match them to faces!】

Ji Yan smiled friendly at Zhang Yi, "Okay! Go busy! Goodbye."

Zhang Yi forced a business smile, turned and left.

While waiting for the system to check, Su Yu also observed the other three people. No matter how she looked, she felt something odd.

"Uncle Auntie, why do your expressions look like that of a bride being forced by a bully onto a bridal sedan?"

【It really does seem that way; looking like this, you don't like my mom—could it be that you're being forced to come by Hua Jing's CEO?】

Ji Yan wanted to cover her daughter's mouth. "Dear, just think it in your heart; saying it out loud will offend many people!"

Su Xi looked at Wang Jun De; he used to be thorough in his work—could he have changed?

【Host, you'd better say less; someone is live-streaming!】

Su Yu widened her eyes; quickly she realized she had acted improperly.

So she pretended to stiffly turn her head toward her mom, "Mom, I wasn't sneaking a look at TV!"

【Which damn bastard, if you don't want to come then don't—what's with this live stream?!】

Live stream?

Su Xi looked at the remaining three people, "Send down the next batch, explain things clearly to them before coming back."

Li Tai Shan turned his head to look at Wang Jun De, "Old Wang, didn't you explain things clearly to these people?"

"I did, I personally called to say it. You guys go back; you're making me look like a bully."

Wang Jun De picked up Su Yu's thread.

Su Yu immediately gave a pleasing smile to her frowning mother.

"Exactly! Exactly!"

Ji Yan poked Su Yu's cheek, "We'll settle the score when we get home!"

Su Yu wilted, "Eh!"

The drooping-headed Su Yu looked at the three people still standing in place.

"Uncle Auntie, why aren't you leaving? I haven't watched any other dramas, so I can't give you new identities."

Wang Jun De also sensed something was off.

He looked at the three people, "This morning you were still yelling and screaming because I canceled your artists' privileges; now you're acting like mute."

The three widened their eyes and said in unison, "We didn't!"

Deng Shu Hong first put on a full smile, "President Wang, you're joking; our artists under us have no privileges!"

"I wouldn't dare shout at you; maybe my voice is just a bit loud."

"It's not us."

The three's fawning expressions made Wang Jun De more wary. These old folks liked the previous easily-deceived CEO, occasionally pulling little tricks to disgust him; when have they ever been so lowly and obsequious?

"Do you need me to play the surveillance footage for you?"

The corners of the three's mouths stiffened.

The Public Relations Department manager went upstairs and knocked on the door, "President, Deng Sister and the others are live-streaming."

Wang Jun De:!!!

Li Tai Shan: Holy crap! Old Wang's bonus is going to be gone!

"Straighten out the company, temporarily halt hiring."

"Okay, General Manager Su, I'll go handle it now!"

Wang Jun De and Li Tai Shan teamed up to drive the three out.

"Your agent can wait until the company stabilizes to talk. For work-related issues, you can contact Wang Jun De directly."

"Okay!"

Su Xi opened her phone; Ji Yan scanned the QR code and added Su Xi as a friend.

【Sniffle, I also really want a phone.】

Ji Yan heard that and rubbed Su Yu's head. "Who knows what you've been doing behind my back; if I really gave you a phone, that would be outrageous!"

Li Tai Shan finished handling the agent's matters, arranged the downstairs security, then returned to the reception room.

"President, everything is ready."

Su Xi nodded, taking the mother and daughter downstairs.

"General Manager Su, what's your opinion on Miss Ji's premarital pregnancy?"

"When will Miss Ji announce the good news?"

"Are you two not planning to marry?"

"The little one is three years old and not yet in school—is it due to household registration? What do you think, General Manager Su?"

"Did Miss Ji deliberately have the child seek out General Manager Su?"

……

Gossip reporters wanted to shove their microphones into the faces of the parties involved. Their questions got sharper and sharper, completely ignoring that there was still a small child on site.

They tried to rush to the parties, but Hua Jing Entertainment's security guards were deployed, and not a single person could break through the security perimeter.

Ji Yan was used to this scene. She looked with some worry at Su Yu held in Su Xi's arms.

【Ugh, I'm going blind! My eyes are going blind! Too many flashlights?!】

Su Yu didn't expect there to be so many reporters below. She momentarily didn't notice, and the flashlights dazed her eyes.

Su Xi felt the dampness on her shoulder and quickened her steps into the car.

Under the security guard's escort, Li Taishan drove away from Hua Jing Entertainment without trouble.

On the road, Li Taishan glanced at the rearview mirror.

"President, a car is following us."

"No need to worry."

Su Xi focused his attention on Su Yu.

"Does your eye hurt?"

Su Yu squinted. She eased a bit, and felt much better.

"I'm fine now."

Su Yu's eye sockets were red, tears clung to her lashes, her little mouth was pouty, looking like a pitiful child!

Li Taishan saw the scene from the rearview mirror and grew even more disgusted with those paparazzi and the person colluding with them. What kind of people are they! Why should adult matters harm innocent children?

Su Yu's eyes were much better, so she turned and flopped into her mother's arms, acting cute.

"Mom, did I cause trouble?"

Su Yu lifted her gaze; her watery eyes were full of bewilderment.

【Taking advantage of Mom's tenderness, I feign weakness and act cute, so Mom will be reluctant to punish me! Maybe the previous incident can be wiped clean? Hehe!】

Seeing her daughter's pitiful look, the soft‑hearted Ji Yan: …

"Baby, one code to one code. When we get home, we'll write them down one by one, count everything clearly. I know you can understand, yet you say so easy!"

Su Yu:!!!

She lay on Mom's lap like a salted fish that has lost its faith.

【Wuwu… who will rescue me!】

That livestream and the videos the reporters shot from every angle quickly landed on Hot Search. Even if Hua Jing's public relations worked hard, they couldn't lower the heat. The Agents had pre‑bought negative Hot Searches, netizens' discussion Hot Searches, and the short piece spontaneously written by web‑novel writer Yan Shanjun… one Hot Search after another, the PR department's internal water army couldn't bring the trend down. As soon as one entry's heat dropped, another rose.

A female star in the entertainment circle getting pregnant before marriage isn't shocking, but when the child's father is the Su Clan Group president and the child comes knocking on the door, it's extremely dramatic!

Especially since several Agents had earlier jointly bought up the heat, and the Hua Jing PR department consulted President Wang, confirming that only some negative public opinion needed to be managed, while everything else was left to netizens.

Netizens literally crashed the website!
