“Make a big deal out of it?” He Yuanyuan asked.

“Things have already reached this stage. What’s there to be afraid of? How can the big Lingyun Group be delayed by an actor?”

“That’s not what 1 meant,” Qi Xianzhao said.

If we don’t handle this matter properly, people at the national level will have to step in. If there’s a nationwide investigation, Lingyun Group will become famous, and it will expose the sensitive nature of the company. That’s not good for us. If we can handle it ourselves, let’s do it ourselves. We should avoid involving national-level forces if possible. Just like a credit card, overdrafting is not a good thing.”

Hearing Qi Xianzhao’s explanation, He Yuanyuan and Tian Yan nodded. The latter said,

“However, our measures are still very effective. That person called Park Jin-woo has already apologized online and cut ties with his fans. I wonder how his fans will react when they find out about this.”

“He might cry, haha…” He Yuanyuan said.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

“Come in.”

There was a knock on the door, and Qi Xianzhao responded. His secretary walked in from outside.

“President Qi, bad news. That South Ranian celebrity’s fan rushed to our office.” “They’re downstairs?”

The three of them looked at each other. No one expected Jin-woo’s fans to be so crazy.

Subconsciously, the three of them stood up from their chairs, stopped by the window sill, and looked downstairs.

He realized that there were more than a hundred people gathered at the entrance of the company building. However, because the office floor was too high, the people below were like a dense group of ants.

“Aren’t these people a little too crazy? Didn’t they see the apology video posted by Park Jin-woo?”

“They are indeed going overboard,” Qi Xianzhao’s secretary said.

“Manager Zhou, who is in charge of logistics, has already sent all the security guards in the company over. Otherwise, they would have rushed in by now.”

Qi Xianzhao shook his head helplessly. “This group of people have lost their minds.”

“Director Qi, what should we do now?”

“Don’t worry, I’ll go down and take a look,” Qi Xianzhao said.

“You don’t have to come forward for such a small matter. Director Tian and I will go over.”

“Are you sure? I’ll go with you.”

“We’ve known each other for so many years, yet you can’t even trust me to take care of this?”

“I know your standards, but I’m afraid you can’t help but stand on their side and go against President Lin together.”

“Uh…” He Yuanyuan paused for a moment. “I’ll try my best to control myself.”

“Don’t just try.”

“Alright, alright, alright. I understand.”

He Yuanyuan and Tian Yan walked out of the office and arrived at the entrance of the company.

The black ma.s.s of fans had already blocked the entrance. The employees had to use the back door to enter and exit.

Seeing someone come out, Park Jin-woo’s fans were in high spirits and started shouting loudly again.

“Hurry up and hand over that person called Lin Yi and apologize to our Jin-woo oppa!”

“If you don’t listen, we’ll continue to report you online until your company goes bankrupt!”

“Calm down. Loud shouting won’t solve the problem,” He Yuanyuan said.

“Send a representative out and talk to us.”

At this moment, a burly girl walked out and said,

“I’m the president of Jin-woo’s global fan club, Li Meng. 1 organized this event. I’m here to talk to you.”

“You guys might be chasing after celebrities, but do you think it’s worth it to cause such a ruckus?” He Yuanyuan asked.

“Of course it’s worth it. He did something wrong. Isn’t it only right for him to come out and apologize?” Li Meng said.

“But do you know that your actions aren’t helping that person called Jin-woo, but harming him? I reckon that he’s already scolding you in his heart. Why can’t you wake up a little?”

“Impossible, what nonsense are you talking about?!” Li Meng retorted.

“All this while, Jin-woo oppa has always treated us as family. Moreover, he even supported us online just now. Why would he scold us?!”

“There’s no point in saying anything more. Go check his Weibo and you’ll see what’s going on.”

After saying that, He Yuanyuan gave Tian Yan a look and asked her to turn around and walk back to the building.

The fans outside the door did not understand what was going on. They took their phones and opened Park Jin-woo’s Weibo, wanting to know what was going on.

The moment they saw the content on Weibo, all the fans were stunned. Their emotions were on the verge of collapse.

“That’s impossible. We’re all Jin-woo oppa’s family. How could he say that we’re haters!”

“Not only on Weibo, but on his TikTok too. He even said that he’s good friends with the boss of this company. We’re the ones being unreasonable. He even asked us to stop all actions that are detrimental to the Lingyun Group.”

Seeing this news, Park Jin-woo’s fans collectively lost control. Many of them even cried.

“Everyone, don’t cry. I know where he lives. Let’s go and ask him now. We have to get an explanation!” Li Meng said.

“Alright, let’s go now!”

Everyone got into the car and drove towards the Ritz-Carlton Hotel.

At the same time, not only did Li Meng and the others want to seek an explanation from Park Jin-woo, but other fans also rushed to the Ritz-Carlton as soon as they heard the news. They wanted to ask what was going on.

In the Ritz-Carlton’s presidential suite, Jin-woo Park and Jiang Xianjun kept scrolling through their phones.

Seeing that the news on the Internet had gradually calmed down, the two of them heaved a sigh of relief.

“And the good news came just in time. If we had waited a little longer, the matter would have blown up even more.”

Jiang Xianjun felt as if he had just survived a calamity. He felt that this was the greatest crisis he had encountered since he started his career.

Initially, he thought that he could use reverse public relations. He did not expect that person to have such a powerful background.

This time, he had really angered a sleeping dragon.

“I estimate it will take no more than a week at most for this matter to pa.s.s.”

Park Jin-woo said,

“Although it’s a pity to give up on my Huaxia fans, 1 might still be able to earn a living in this country. It’s not too bad.”

Jiang Xianjun nodded. “This is the best outcome. Don’t think about anything else.”

“I understand.” Jin-woo sighed. “I hope that 1 will have a chance to ease the relationship with the fans here in the future. After all, it’s too easy to cheat them of their money. I really can’t bear to part with it.”

“That’s what I was thinking too. But that’s for another time.”

“Park Jin-woo, come out for us. I need an explanation from you!”

“Did you personally post those things on Weibo and TikTok? Hurry up and step forward!”

Just as the two of them were talking, they suddenly heard a shout from downstairs.

Jiang Xianjun leaned against the window to take a look.

“Those idiot fans are here..”
