Ji Qingqing knew that Lu Lixing was from a prestigious family and had an equally prestigious career. Although she didnât know who was behind this eye-catching entertainment tabloid, they had ended up writing libel about Lu Lixing, and it would be childâs play for Lu Lixing to deal with them.
Besides, Lu Lixing was the one that caused this mess to begin with, so it was only right that he cleaned up the fallout.
However, the gossip and libel that this tabloid had spread was interesting.
Ji Qingqing was someone that had a âprevious convictionâ of this nature. She hadnât been liked by anyone in the entertainment circle, and once Gu Shaoyu publicly dumped her while declaring she was only his kept plaything and not his girlfriend, Ji Qingqingâs reputation as a kept woman was cemented.
And so, once this article had come out, the netizens wholeheartedly believed it. One after another, they speculated who was the foolish spendthrift that was willing to support Ji Qingqing.
Who was the parvenu that Ji Qingqing got her claws into?
Lu Lixing didnât spend much time or energy paying attention to that entertainment tabloid. When he went to work early the next morning, he called over the Legal Departmentâs director to deal with this matter. The members of the Legal Department were usually busy dealing with pressing issues.
Once the Director of the Legal Department arrived at his office, he showed him the entertainment tabloid and ordered him to get this newspaper company to remove the false information and issue an apology.
After the Legal Departmentâs director read the entertainment tabloid, he thought about it and remembered that Ji Qingqing, who was the main target of the article, was one of Tianyu Entertainmentâs signed artists.
In addition to regularly handling various disputes related to the companyâs economic interests, the Legal Department was also responsible for lawsuits related to their CEOâs reputation. But, why did the boss show him this entertainment tabloid? What connection did Ji Qingqing and that parvenu have with Lu Corporation?
âCEO Lu, shouldnât Ji Qingqingâs matter be handled by Tianyu Entertainmentâs side?â
His department was very busy, and the lawsuits they handled were ones that were worth tens of millions yuan. Why was his boss tossing him the news about a third-rate actress and a parvenu?
Lu Lixing, who was surrounded by a pile of documents, raised his head and looked at the highly regarded Legal Departmentâs director. He asked him, âDo you think itâs accurate to portray me as a parvenu?â
The Legal Departmentâs director immediately turned his head. Not inquiring about his bossâs private affairs, he went straight to promising in no uncertain terms and with a serious expression, âCEO Lu, rest assured, Iâll handle this matter immediately. This libelousâŚâ
âItâs not all wrong.â Lu Lixing coughed. He tried to keep his face expressionless as he said,â It is Ji Qingqing and I in those photos. The amount spent is also rightâŚâ
In short, other than saying he was a âparvenuâ, everything else was true.
Lu Lixing stopped speaking. He couldnât afford to lose this person yet.
âActually, go back first. I donât need you to handle this matter anymore.â
âOkay.â The director exited the office.
Lu Lixing made a call. âAssess the potential risk and cost of acquiring Chengfei Entertainment News. If the cost to acquire it is less than seven digits, you donât need to call me back. Just draft the documents for acquisition and acquire it as soon as possible.â
After saying that, he ended the call, lowered his head, and went back to dealing with the pile of documents.
Throughout the day, there was an endless stream of people in the office. The consequence of not working overtime yesterday was a bigger pile of work today. Time passed by quickly. Before he knew it, it was almost the end of the workday.
