Reborn as a female internet celebrity in a county town

Chapter 185 Even his own father compromised for the first time, so why should he?

Lin Lang was signing and stamping documents at the company. He glanced at the time and it was almost 10:30.

He Qiang will arrive in half an hour, and Song Zhiyuan has also agreed to have lunch together.

He has basically finished his work on this side.

Just then, his phone rang. He saw it was Yan Li calling and answered without saying a word.

"what happened?"

"Can I miss you?"

Yan Li's voice was still pleasant to hear; in fact, just hearing her voice brought her image to mind.

She is very easy for others to remember.

"Sure, why not?"

"Would you like to pick me up at the high-speed rail station?"

"Huh? What do you mean? You've come to Tianshui?"

"Yes, we'll be there in about ten minutes."

Lin Lang glanced at the work in his hands. Although he was almost finished, it would definitely take some more time.

"I'll have someone else pick you up, and she can hold up a sign."

"also."

"Then I'll hang up now..."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Lang immediately called Gao Yu.

Gao Yu just went out; besides booking a private room, she also needs to get some other things done.

"Sister Gao, could you go to the high-speed rail station and pick someone up for me? Her name is Yan Li. You can just hold a sign at the exit."

At this moment, Gao Yu, who was not far from Dayu Media, stopped her car.

Because she heard the name Yan Li.

She knew Yan Li, and they were quite close.

"Boss... I... um... I suddenly feel a little unwell, I just came to the hospital."

"Huh? What happened to Sister Gao? Is she at the county hospital? I'm coming right away..."

The loneliest thing in life is going to the hospital alone.

If there's anything lonelier than this, it's going to the hospital for surgery alone.

He can pick up Yan Li while he's at it, and then go to the hospital to check on her.

"No, no, it's nothing. The doctor said I just have a bit of a cold, and I've been a little tired these past few days, so I'm a bit weak. He prescribed some medicine, and I'll be going home right away. I'm fine. Could your friend wait a little while?"

"Sister Gao, you're sick, so don't worry about it. I'll go pick it up myself. By the way, are you really okay?"

"It's really nothing. By the way, I've already booked the private room; it's in my name."

Gao Yu regretted leaving her name; if Yan Li found out, she wouldn't know how to explain it.

But when it comes to booking a table, I've never heard of anyone leaving the owner's name.

"Sister Gao, are you sure you're alright?"

"It's alright, boss, don't worry. I'll be fine after a rest. I'll go to the company tomorrow afternoon."

"No rush, no rush. Sister Gao, take a few days to rest and we'll talk about it when you're feeling better. I'll go see you this afternoon when I have some free time."

Gao Yu: "..."

Let's do it this afternoon then.

There's still time, enough time to come up with an excuse.

"Then should I return the car?"

"No need, no need. I have a car here. Sister Gao, go back and rest first. Call me if you need anything."

Lin Lang had no choice but to put aside his work for the time being, borrow a car from Qin Haiyang, and drive to the high-speed rail station.

……

Shanghai Pavilion.

Shen Xingnan arranged for several business vehicles to bring Yang Jingyuan and his group here.

When Yang Jingyuan said those words to Hao Bo, who was lying in the bed sheet, it meant that the matter was over.

If Shen Xingnan hadn't resisted, he would have been charged with assault and would have had to pay Hao Bo's medical expenses. If Hao Bo was left with a disability, he would have had to pay a considerable amount in compensation.

However, Yang Jingyuan stepped forward, and even when facing the injured Hao Bo, he still cursed and swore, clearly showing that he was going to stand on Shen Xingnan's side.

When Hao Bo saw Yang Jingyuan, he was completely stunned. All his previous arrogance vanished, and all his resentment was swallowed back down.

At that moment, Shen Xingnan finally understood the true value of Shen An'an's friend.

The reason why Yang Jingyuan was able to stand on his side without hesitation was not only because he felt ashamed to have someone like Hao Bo under his command, but also because he was considering Shen An'an.

Otherwise, given that Shen Xingnan was at a disadvantage, he wouldn't have bothered to speak up, since the matter had nothing to do with him anyway.

As for whether Yang Jingyuan knew about his relationship with Yan Keming through marriage and wanted to give Yan Keming face by stepping forward, Shen Xingnan thought it was almost impossible.

Face is not something that can be sold easily. If the other party doesn't ask for it, there must be one condition: that the other party must feel indebted.

The relationship between myself and Yan Keming was not so close that Yan Keming had to feel indebted to me. It would be more appropriate if it were Yan Keming's wife and children.

After Hao Bo was sent to the hospital, Yang Jingyuan specifically told everyone present that Jinling Capital had produced a scumbag like Hao Bo, and the company would initiate an internal investigation to give everyone an explanation.

This statement was not only about helping Shen Xingnan recover her losses, but also a way of putting all the blame on Hao Bo.

Whether Hao Bo is willing to accept it or not, nobody knows.

The private room that Shen Xingnan booked was very large, more than 80 square meters. After the nine people were seated, Shen Xingnan helped take care of everyone and started ordering food.

Only then did Shen An'an have some free time.

After all, he had never had the chance before.

She quietly took out her phone and sent a message to Lin Lang.

"I'm so sorry, I really didn't mean to. Something happened back then, my parents are getting a divorce, and I panicked..."

“I broke my promise, and you can be very angry with me.”

"I despise myself too. I never thought I would become the kind of person I hate the most, going back on my word."

"Or you could hit me, that would be fine too..."

For more than ten minutes, Shen An'an kept sending messages to Lin Lang.

However, Lin Lang didn't reply to any of them.

"Please don't ignore me, just reply to me, okay? You can even insult me."

"How about I treat you to dinner tonight? I'll apologize to you in person then, and you can give me a good scolding for being such a fickle person."

"Please, please give me another chance."

As time passed and she still hadn't received a reply from Lin Lang, Shen An'an could no longer contain her emotions. If there hadn't been so many people present, she really would have burst into tears.

Now... all I can do is desperately hold back the tears welling up in my eyes.

At that moment, Yang Jingyuan said to Shen Xingnan, "Mr. Shen, do you know someone named Lin Lang?"

For Shen An'an at this moment, the name Lin Lang was an absolute G-spot.

Even though the table was large, Yang Jingyuan's voice was not loud.

But because there was only one person between them, she could still hear it very clearly.

"Does General Manager Yang also know Lin Lang? He's from our Tianshui County, and we've had some contact before." Shen Xingnan wasn't sure what the situation was, so he didn't go into too much detail.

"I've only met him once, and I don't know much about him. If you know him, Mr. Shen, would you like to talk to him?"

Shen Xingnan: "I haven't had much contact with Lin Lang, so I can only tell you what I know."

Before understanding Yang Jingyuan's thoughts, Shen Xingnan mainly talked about Lin Lang's Big Fish Media and Shen An'an's signing with Big Fish Media.

After listening, Yang Jingyuan asked, "How come I heard that he knows Yan Li?"

"That's true. He and my niece were classmates; they both graduated from Shanghai University of Finance and Economics."

"That's it..."

In Yang Jingyuan's view, everything makes sense now.

After all, in their eyes, Lin Lang and Yan Li must be having an affair.

But no matter how you look at it, Lin Lang has no chance of winning over someone like Yan Li.

Unless, of course, the two are collaborating on other projects.

After learning about Big Fish Media, many of our speculations gained traction.

Lin Lang is undoubtedly capable in the media field. Shen Xingnan just mentioned the situation of Big Fish Media, which is developing quite well.

Given that Lin Lang comes from a small county town and his parents are ordinary people, the fact that he was able to build a media company to this level within just a few months of graduation, even with financial support, is inseparable from his ability.

Even if Yan Li is highly capable in finance, his abilities in the media industry may not be so strong.

However, the path Yan Li took required both internet marketing and personal strength as core factors, which is why Lin Lang was able to come together with Yan Li and the two engaged in in-depth cooperation.

As for whether there is close-range cooperation, they don't care.

All we need to know is that Lin Lang does indeed have that ability.

Shen Xingnan asked, "President Yang is paying so much attention to Lin Lang, could it be that you have something to discuss with him?"

Yang Jingyuan said, "I just felt that guy was acting a bit strange... We were about to go downstairs for dinner, and we were supposed to go straight to the second floor, but Lin Lang inexplicably pressed the sixth floor, and then we happened to hear about someone causing trouble in Hao Bo's room..."

Fu Xueqing told him about this via message. Fu Xueqing saw it, and Lin Lang deliberately pressed the button for the sixth floor.

Shen Xingnan: "..."

In other words, Lin Lang already knew about Yang Jingyuan's situation and deliberately lured Yang Jingyuan there.

Similarly, it also means that Lin Lang already knew this matter wouldn't escalate much? After all, Yang Jingyuan cares about his reputation, and so does Golden Collar Capital.

So all that nervousness was for nothing?
He almost got divorced by his wife?

From the moment Lin Lang instigated Shen Wanhao and his group to cause trouble under the pretext of paying for prostitutes, to Lin Lang deliberately letting Yang Jingyuan know about the matter, to Yang Jingyuan demanding that Lin Lang go and apologize, and then Lin Lang setting a trap for Hao Bo, causing Hao Bo to misjudge the situation and make outrageous demands...

Looking back, Lin Lang agreed to apologize to me far too readily.

Furthermore, he never hesitated at all when he struck someone.

Then, he deliberately opened the door and let Ho Ka-bing in to be the scapegoat, so that other investors could see the situation and create psychological pressure for himself.

Nobody noticed that guy from beginning to end, but he was the one who did it all!
What was his reason?

Standing up for his daughter?
Damn it! Could he really be trying to pursue An An?

Shen Xingnan was more vigilant than ever before.

Based on the incident of beating Hao Bo, he knew that if he didn't intervene, Lin Lang could easily control Shen An'an.

My daughter is so stupid, how could she possibly outmaneuver a ruthless guy like Lin Lang?

He not only schemed against himself, but he even schemed against Yang Jingyuan.

Yang Jingyuan is indeed a senior; he even noticed the detail that Lin Lang deliberately pressed the wrong elevator floor.

And what about yourself?

I really didn't expect that Lin Lang had done it all on purpose from beginning to end.

If he had known, he wouldn't have needed to kick Hao Bo a few times in the end.

Those kicks were witnessed by more than a dozen people, and they were the ones that put him at a complete disadvantage.

Since Yang Jingyuan felt that he had been tricked by Lin Lang, even if there was no great malice, he probably wasn't feeling very good about it.

Shen Xingnan said in a low voice, "President Yang, actually I was also tricked by Lin Lang."

"Huh? What do you say?"

"Here's what happened. Hao Bo initially showed me a photo, implying I should arrange something for the girl in it. When I saw it was An An, I called some people over, intending to beat Hao Bo up, but they stopped me… Then, without my knowledge, the people I called were tricked by Lin Lang into causing trouble for Hao Bo. I initially thought it was a misunderstanding, and since the research meeting was about to start, I wanted to take Lin Lang over to apologize and resolve the matter, but…"

In the end, I did make the move, but the whole thing was beyond my control; you could even say I was forced to do it by Lin Lang…”

Shen Xingnan said all this to give Yang Jingyuan a way out. Otherwise, if Yang Jingyuan told him about being schemed against, he might have done it unintentionally at first, but after he came to his senses, he might feel that his self-esteem was hurt and that he was laughing at him.

By saying these words, he was trying to help Yang Jingyuan find some psychological balance, and at the same time, he was trying to please Yang Jingyuan.

However, with only one person between them, Shen An'an heard it very clearly.

After learning that someone was plotting against him, Lin Lang tried every means to get revenge.

Even my own dad compromised for the first time.

He has no relation to me, so how could we be closer than my own father?

Why should he stand up for himself?
And then, he broke his promise and asked him for money?

If I were him, I'd be heartbroken by now.

How could I have run into such a jerk like myself!
Shen An'an felt she was losing control, and without caring about the people present, she left her seat and walked outside.

As she walked, she wiped away her tears with her hand.

She jogged quickly down the corridor, not daring to stop.

She wanted to find a secluded place to call Lin Lang.

However, as she turned around at the corner of the corridor, she saw two figures walking towards her.

One is Lin Lang, and the other is Yan Li.

At that moment, Yan Li was holding Lin Lang's arm. Just a second before they saw her, the two were chatting and laughing intimately.

Yan Li was initially taken aback when she saw Shen An'an, but quickly realized that Shen An'an was crying.

She rushed over and asked, "An'an, what happened? Who bullied you?"
