Chapter Sixty-Nine: Hype

"Mingyue, what did you see?"

Pan Zihui asked.

Pan Mingyue stuck out her tongue and said to Lin Na, who was looking at her, "Lina, I'm sorry, but I really didn't say anything bad about you. It was someone else who said you were that kind of person."

Li Yu, who was sending the message, was also attracted by Pan Mingyue's exclamation. He put down his phone and asked, "What happened?"

"I don't know either. I'll ask someone else." As she spoke, Pan Mingyue found the phone number of the person who said Lin Na was a lesbian in the comments and called to ask.

She quickly found out what had happened.

It turned out that someone had posted on a well-known forum, using several photos of Lin Na chatting intimately with the same girl, and then using so-called "facts" as evidence in a revealing tone.

Now, it is said that this news has been pushed to the top of the trending searches.

Pan Mingyue suddenly stared at Sheng Jiaoyang, "Ah, you are the person in the photos who came out as gay."

Came out? Sheng Jiaoyang and Lin Na looked at each other, both seeing a hint of a smile in each other's eyes.

Seeing the two of them's unintentional little actions, the others who hadn't thought anything of it before were now starting to have doubts.

"Lina, are you two really in that kind of relationship?" Pan Mingyue asked, her curiosity tinged with suspicion.

"What do you think?" Lin Na raised an eyebrow, a half-smile playing on her lips.

*Looks like it!* Pan Mingyue thought to herself, then said, "I don't know, but you two seem really close!"

Li Yu glanced at Sheng Jiaoyang with a headache. He'd just signed her and now this scandal was hitting him, one that could seriously damage his career. If it were just a rumor, it wouldn't be so bad, but judging from the current situation, if it were true, it would be difficult to handle .

Pan Zihui's expression wasn't good either. Someone who was very likely his daughter was being labeled a lesbian by being seen with someone of the same sex; he felt utterly humiliated.

The food arrived.

Except for the parties involved in the scandal, everyone else didn't eat with much appetite.

After the meal, Li Yu called Sheng Jiaoyang aside for a private talk.

"Are you and Lina in that kind of relationship?" Li Yu asked seriously.

"What kind?" Sheng Jiaoyang replied slowly and deliberately.

"A lesbian!" Li Yu looked at her sternly.

Sheng Jiaoyang's lips curled up slightly. "No."

Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'll have the PR department handle this. You and Lina shouldn't get too close."

"I

can't do that." Li Yu frowned. He looked at Sheng Jiaoyang for a while. The boss had only told him to sign her no matter what, not to promote her. But after spending so much money and disrupting the company's compensation structure, he couldn't just buy a pretty face to display. If he ruined her reputation now, how would he recoup the investment in the future?

"How about this, I'll talk to Gu Zhou's agent. They'll create some rumors about you two. Be prepared."

Gu Zhou again? Sheng Jiaoyang narrowed her eyes.

Seeing the subtle change in her expression, Li Yu chuckled. "You're not happy about creating rumors with Gu Zhou?"

"Can't you change it to someone else?"

"Who do you want to change it to?"

"You can change it to some handsome young man or something."

"..." Pfft!

Li Yu inexplicably felt sorry for Gu Zhou. According to this girl, Gu Zhou wasn't "handsome" or "handsome young man," it was simply...

Gu Zhou would cry if he heard that.
