Chapter 210 Are there really such stupid people involved?
As soon as Lin Yi opened the door, she heard what Le Peier was saying to the person on the other end of the phone. She was stunned for a moment, and her expression changed instantly.
Hearing the sound, Le Peier looked up at her.
Their eyes met.
Lin Yi didn't dare to speak, but waved to her, signaling her to hang up.
Le Peier was confused and bewildered. In her haste, she said into the phone, "I will talk to President Yan about this again."
He hung up the phone and asked Lin Yi, "What's wrong?"
Lin Yi closed the door, looked at her with a complicated expression, and said, "Why did you take the initiative to talk to President Yan first?"
Le Pei'er: "I see the online public opinion is developing quite well, with everyone criticizing her for daring to do something but not daring to admit it. How can we miss such a good momentum? We can use it to our advantage regarding the termination fee..."
Lin Yi resisted the urge to roll her eyes and said, "You're thinking too simply. Yan Zhixu is not someone to be trifled with. Do you think he's the kind of person who can compromise on two things at once?"
Le Pei'er frowned; Yan Zhixu was indeed not as easy to handle as ordinary people.
That would also be a good opportunity to test Liang Liangwei's place in his heart. If he values her enough, he will naturally do his best to solve this problem for her. But if he turns a blind eye, then their so-called relationship is nothing more than that, and they will separate sooner or later, which is exactly what she wants.
Lin Yi could tell from her expression that she didn't take her words seriously, and said, "I just went to report this matter to the company's upper management. The result of their discussion was to release the news that the video was uploaded privately by the staff present, to absolve you and the company of responsibility. They will definitely arrange for reporters to interview you later, and then we will tell you the 'truth' in detail."
Le Pei'er nodded: "That works too."
Lin Yi pursed her lips and said, "But I haven't even conveyed my message yet, why did you take the initiative to contact Yan Zhixu first? Doesn't that mean you directly admitted that you had someone film the video and put it online? The higher-ups mean we should wait for him to come to us first, so that we'll have more leverage in the conversation!"
Le Pei'er's face showed an expression of realization, followed by an annoyed look: "Why didn't you say so sooner?"
Lin Yi: "Didn't I say I'd call first to ask about the situation? I didn't expect you to be in such a hurry to call Yan Zhixu!"
Remembering Yan Zhixu's unpleasant tone earlier, Le Peier felt uncertain: "Then... what do we do now?"
Lin Yi also had a lot of complaints. This woman seemed shrewd, but in reality, she often did some unexpectedly stupid things that she couldn't even explain!
"Let me ask again, whether to hold back or release some information to distance ourselves from the situation."
After Lin Yi finished speaking, she went out again, hoping in her heart that this woman wouldn't ruin this good hand!

On the other side, Yan Zhixu felt even more depressed after being hung up on.
He tossed his phone onto the desk and walked to a chair to sit down.
Xu Chaofeng knocked on the door and came in: "President Yan, we have already taken down all the videos, and the reposted ones have also disappeared because of the associated links. Since the videos were set to not be downloadable when they were uploaded, there is no trace of them being posted on other websites yet."
Yan Zhixu: "Have you found the IP address?"
Xu Chaofeng: "We checked, it's a registered internet cafe in Haicheng. Do you want to find out who posted it?"
Yan Zhixu: "No need, the person has already called me to admit it."
Xu Chaofeng was slightly taken aback. Could there really be such a stupid person involved?
He asked tentatively, "What is this person's purpose? Is it Le Pei'er herself?"
Yan Zhixu scoffed coldly: "Yes, she called to threaten me, probably to make me use the penalty for breach of contract to offset the compensation, so that she doesn't have to pay the penalty, but instead I have to give her a compensation."
Xu Chaofeng's first thought was, "How dare this guy threaten President Yan? He's got a death wish!"
Or maybe they're just brainless.
He lowered his brows and said, "President Yan, Chairman Dong Chaoran of the Chamber of Commerce just called and said he will be at the company soon, accompanied by Fu Yankai, the vice president of Huacheng Bank."
Yan Zhixu casually signed a document, then looked up and asked, "Is he an accompanying staff member?"
Xu Chaofeng knew who her superior was referring to, and respectfully replied, "You could say that. Vice President Fu's name is on the petition list sent by Chairman Dong, but it's not a separate team."
Yan Zhixu slowly put the pen back on its cap and said with amusement, "It seems he really wants to obtain the qualification to act as a financial intermediary for this collaborative project."
Xu Chaofeng didn't respond, but in her heart she agreed. Of course, the intention was so obvious; she knew she had to climb up to a super big shot to help herself.
The president of the trade and economic association is really daring!
Yan Zhixu was thinking about something else much deeper.
"How's the investigation into Weiwei's family situation coming along?"
Xu Chaofeng's brow furrowed, and she whispered, "President Yan, there's some trouble..."
Yan Zhixu looked at him: "Counselor Liang has already given the green light, do you still think there's trouble?"
Xu Chaofeng forced a smile and said, "Miss Liang's family seems to... have military connections."
Yan Zhixu was also somewhat surprised: "The military?"
Xu Chaofeng: "Yes, so we could only probe a little before we couldn't continue the investigation."
Nobody dares to clash with someone with a military background.
Yan Zhixu pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled.
No wonder Liang Wenyi readily agreed; he knew all along that they wouldn't be able to investigate further.
Instead of trying to stop them, let them choose to give up on their own.
He smiled helplessly: "Forget it, then let's not investigate."
Xu Chaofeng's phone rang. He took it out, answered it briefly, and then hung up, saying, "President Yan, Chairman Dong has arrived."
Yan Zhixu: "Please come to the reception room to receive me. I'll be right there."
"Okay." Xu Chaofeng turned and left.
Yan Zhixu got up, walked to the clothes rack, took out his suit jacket, and put it on, slowly and methodically buttoning it up.
He glanced at the phone on the table, thought for a moment, picked it up, and dialed a number.
Soon, a sweet, soft woman's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello? What's wrong?"
The woman's soft voice softened his expression, and he smiled, asking, "Busy?"
The sound of people walking and talking came from the other end.
Liang Liangwei: We're doing pre-production preparations; filming won't start for a while. What about you?
Yan Zhixu: "I just finished a meeting and now I have to go receive important guests. I still have some time, so I'll call you to hear how you sound."
Liang Liangwei's face flushed, and she said reproachfully, "You made a special phone call in such a short time. Aren't you afraid of neglecting an important guest?"
Yan Zhixu: "We can't afford to be negligent; this will all pass."
He analyzed the emotions in the woman's voice. It was relatively calm. Could it be that he ordered the product to be taken off the shelves in time, and she didn't see it?
Or perhaps your mood wasn't affected at all?
"Is the work, I mean the preliminary preparations going smoothly?"
Liang Liangwei: "It went smoothly. I was very well prepared, so don't worry about me."
Then, puzzled, she asked, "Why are you suddenly asking if my work is going well? I'm a professional photographer; I wouldn't make a mistake."
Yan Zhixu chuckled lightly: "Well, a professional photographer doesn't need to be questioned. It was my fault for questioning you. Will you punish me when we meet?"
Liang Liangwei laughed too: "We'll talk about it when we meet~ I won't say anymore, you should hurry up and attend to your important client."
Yan Zhixu: "Okay, contact me if you need anything."
