Transmigrated into a female-oriented novel, and put an end to the domineering CEOs all over the city

Immediately afterwards, Han Xuanxuan leaned against Lu Jingxiu and tapped on her phone, opening several marketing accounts with a considerable number of followers and showing them to him one by one.

"Ahn Yu-hyun's team revealed that due to a series of safety incidents in Hypermarket recently, they are considering canceling the filming plans there. #IsHypermarketSafe?# #ArtistTeamCallsForAttentionToFilmingLocationSafety#"

Meanwhile, some verified producers, directors, and celebrities also shared this message.

The comments section was as lively as a denunciation meeting, with comments coming one after another from the relevant departments of the market.

Lu Jingxiu sneered, "A propaganda offensive?"

Using the influence of celebrities and seemingly legitimate reasons of safety concerns, they manipulate public opinion and create pressure.

The arrest of the two CEOs was interpreted by some as a sign of "a terrible business environment in the market," "collusion between officials and businessmen in the market," and "the market is unsafe."

He didn't believe that these accounts were posting in such a synchronized manner without someone pushing them from behind.

An Jia's move was quite underhanded and skillful.

"Your message is very timely," Lu Jingxiu said, looking up from his phone screen at Han Xuanxuan beside him. "Next time, I'll treat you to a meal."

Han Xuanxuan nodded, her eyes crinkling into a smile: "Then you owe me two meals."

Lu Jingxiu was taken aback, then remembered that he had casually said "I'll treat you to dinner next time" at the club last night.

...This girl has a pretty good memory.

However, her message did come at the right time.

If she hadn't come to tell him today, by the time he discovered the online propaganda offensive, it might have been too late.

Lu Feng's attention today is entirely focused on Shang Yanchen's case and internal restructuring, so he probably doesn't have time to pay attention to the slightest developments in the entertainment industry.

The provincial official media and propaganda department have most likely already noticed it, but according to their usual practice, they will definitely try to handle it themselves first, suppressing it if possible, and only reporting it to higher authorities if they really can't suppress it anymore.

By then, public opinion will have fermented sufficiently, and the negative impact will have already spread.

Han Xuanxuan tilted her head, looking at Lu Jingxiu's profile as he fell into deep thought.

She thought for a moment and then asked, "Young Master Lu, do you need my help? My family has some connections in the entertainment industry, and we can help boost your profile."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jingxiu looked up at her.

She seems to be a kind-hearted young girl with a pure smile and straightforward manner of speaking.

but……

There's no such thing as a free lunch. He didn't believe Han Xuanxuan would help him for free.

The two pieces of information she provided last night and tonight, though important, are essentially information he would have known sooner or later anyway; the time difference is worth the equivalent of a meal.

But if she were to use her connections to help him build a reputation in the entertainment industry, the situation would be completely different.

This is not something that can be solved by one meal, or even several meals.

This involves resource exchange and personal relationships.

A favor that requires the son of the municipal party secretary to use his connections to repay is definitely not a trivial matter.

What are you thinking about?

Lu Jingxiu shook his head inwardly.

"Thank you, but no thanks." He refused decisively.

If he gets involved, it's the same as his father getting involved.

So, the other party wants his father to repay a favor?

That would be a huge blow to one's reputation.

She thinks she can get something in return just by getting a few celebrities to say a few words of encouragement? What a load of rubbish!

If the An family wants to use public opinion to exert pressure, he naturally has other ways to deal with it, and there is no need to owe such a big favor now.

Han Xuanxuan wasn't surprised at all when she was rejected; she just blinked.

Lu Jingxiu thought about it and decided it was better to be direct. With an honest person like Han Xuanxuan, beating around the bush would just be inappropriate.

He looked at Han Xuanxuan: "Why did you suddenly come to tell me this news tonight? Miss Han, I remember our relationship hasn't reached that stage yet, has it?"

"If you have any needs, just tell me."

Han Xuanxuan was stunned for a moment, probably caught off guard by his unpredictable approach.

She blinked and honestly confessed, "An Xiaozhao asked someone to send me to tell you this. She said if you want to be friends with her, go and apologize to her."

"Since I'm already here, I might as well tell you everything I know."

"Is an apology all you need?" Lu Jingxiu leaned against the headboard, a half-smile on his face.

Why did the eldest daughter of the An family go to such lengths and make such a big fuss just to get him to lower his head and say sorry?

Ghosts believe.

"An Xiaozhao said she would talk in person, but I think she might have other requests later." Han Xuanxuan shrugged, looking like she was just a messenger.

Lu Jingxiu gave a meaningful "Oh": "It seems that Miss Han has become the An family's advocate."

Han Xuanxuan rolled her eyes, her tone carrying a hint of "it's easy for you to talk," and a sense of smugness: "Young Master Lu! You may not be afraid of her, but do you think I dare to offend her?"

"A clear conscience fears no accusation." Lu Jingxiu said with a look of exasperation, "Even if her grandfather is a general, what can he do to you?"

"Come on," Han Xuanxuan pouted, saying what she meant and not intending to pat herself on the back.

"Not to mention that if her grandfather just chatted with any old comrade-in-arms, my poor old man, who was already walking on thin ice, might have to switch to delivering food."

"It's An Xiaozhao's dad's side, the richest man in the province. Just to give you an idea, our family was the one that got into a car accident this morning. I might not be as lucky as you in that situation."

Lu Jingxiu: "...?"

He was momentarily speechless.

This Miss Han... isn't she a little too honest? Is it really appropriate to say something so bluntly?

"And," Han Xuanxuan sighed, her tone softening, as if explaining or comforting herself.

"She just asked me to come and tell you, it's not like she asked me to do anything bad. Passing on a message is a way to avoid offending either side, I didn't have a choice."

At this point, she couldn't help but add, "It's all your fault. Last night at the banquet, you insisted on asking me to have a drink."

"Once this gossip spread, the An family thought that you and I had a good relationship, so they came to me."

Lu Jingxiu inwardly curled his lip.

Given the An family's style, all their father has to do is submit some materials to their superiors, and they don't even need to lift a finger; someone in Beijing will be happy to automatically match them with an opponent.

Which of these bigwigs isn't worried about not having any achievements to show for their political career?

His adoptive father's identity is not so simple.

There's absolutely no need for him to apologize.

However, it's fine to go and take a look, to find out what the enemy is capable of.

"Alright, mission accomplished." Han Xuanxuan clapped her hands, stuffed her phone back into her bag, and looked Lu Jingxiu up and down. "By the way, Mr. Lu, is your injury alright?"

"It's just a superficial wound, nothing serious."

"That's good." Han Xuanxuan stood up and patted the back of her clothes.

After finishing the business, she visibly relaxed, her serious demeanor vanished, and she reverted to being the cheerful, gossipy woman she always was.

She suddenly remembered what happened last night, and the expression on her face immediately changed from a smile to a resentful one.

"Young Master Lu, you were really something last night." She crossed her arms and looked down at Lu Jingxiu on the hospital bed, her eyes full of accusation. "My legs went weak, and you didn't even try to help me up, making me roll off you."

Lu Jingxiu retorted confidently, "You drank too much, whose fault is it?"

Han Xuanxuan's expression grew even more resentful, her lips pouting slightly: "Young Master Lu, I gave you everything I could last night, and this is how you treat me?"

Lu Jingxiu's lips twitched.

You've given me everything you could? What you gave me was just information you overheard from your dad.

They didn't give us anything important either!

Seeing that Lu Jingxiu didn't speak, Han Xuanxuan sighed: "Fine, it's my fault, it's my fault for drinking too much, it's my fault for having weak legs, it's my own fault."

She didn't say anything more and turned to walk towards the door: "Alright, I won't keep you from recovering any longer. If you've decided to be friends with Miss An, send me a message and I'll pass on your message."

After saying that, she opened the door, her figure disappeared outside, and the door was gently closed.

The ward fell silent again.

On the bed next to her, Xu Na, who had been pretending to be asleep with her eyes closed, quietly opened them.

Her pupils were filled with shock, mixed with a hint of grievance and bitterness.

She heard it.

She heard it all.

The girl said that last night her legs were too weak to stand up, and her brother didn't help her, so she rolled off him.

The brother said she had drunk too much, and the girl said she had given her all she could.

I rolled off him; I gave him everything I could.

An image uncontrollably flashed into her mind, and she tried desperately to shake it off, but she couldn't.

Xu Na pulled the blanket over her face. She felt terrible, her head was buzzing, as if a little person was frantically banging drums and gongs inside.

My brother...actually...went to bed last night?!

He's having an affair!

He wasn't like this before!
