Chapter 645: Damage Control
"Pff, haha!" Lu Chen laughed as he watched the clip. And Zhang Jian nodded.
Called it!
"How much of an idiot can he be?" There was something very wrong with Lai Liqin. In those types of situations, showing the wrong emotion was asking for trouble. He should have shown some worry instead of doubling down. Lu Chen turned to Chu Jingyi,
"Jingyi, was Lai Liqin always this ridiculous?" There was something wrong with how he acted. Lu Chen looked into Lai Liqin as he was going to be a competitor. But from the shows he was on, he was the complete opposite of how he was now.
Chu Jingyi shook his head, "Lai Liqin was very snarky, but he was never like that. He was a good kid." Seeing him like this was also a surprise to him. Lai Liqin's personality was more reserved and quiet. He didn't expect Lai Liqin would change so much in such a short time.
Lu Chen thought, "Either the fame got to him, or he was holding everything back." Such a personality change was unreasonable unless it was already there or something major changed in him.
"Who cares. Lai Liqin is this guy now." Zhang Jian said. "So what should we do with him?" They had the video, and they could drop it at any time.
Lu Chen thought about it, "We'll wait it out." He explained,
"We have the video of the waiting room. But wouldn't it be better to wait for the video of you getting hit to come out first?"
"Ohohoh, I like how you do things!" Zhang Jian knew what he was planning. Lu Chen and Zhang Jian had devilish expressions. Chu Jingyi slowly backed away from them.
He knew what was about to go down.
...
"Do you mind telling me what you were doing?!" At Silverlight, Zhou Hai stared at Lai Liqin. The latter wasn't looking at him. But the news on his tablet was enough.
Lu Chen and Zhang Jian were on the dot. It didn't take long for a video and photos of what happened on IdolT to be posted on the internet.
Lai Liqin beat Zhang Jian in the face! Zhang Jian's face was bleeding! That title was exploding on the internet. And the comments were even worse.
How could Lai Liqin take it so far?! It was only a game!
Did you hear what he said before he slapped him?!
Many people scolded Lai Liqin as he took it too far. Zhou Hai sneered, "Didn't I tell you to show you are better than Zhang Jian? What was going through your mind when you did this?!"
That was why he asked Lai Liqin to go on this show. But the opposite happened. Lai Liqin scoffed,
"Relax, my fans are supporting me!" Besides the scolding he was getting, there were people who fought back,
Did you see the suit he was in?! There was no way our Liqin could control his strength.
It was only an accident! See how Zhang Jian came back up! He was fine!
Everyone is making a big deal over a small face slap.
"This shouldn't have happened in the first place if you acted properly." Zhou Hai said with a dark expression. They would have been fine if Lai Liqin didn't slap him.
"No choice." Zhou Hai shook his head and called his secretary, "Get the PR team to do something about it." The best thing they could do was to ride on what the fans said.
"Understood, CEO." The secretary said. And it wasn't long before a message came from Silverlight.
From the recent clips of Lai Liqin in IdolT, this was nothing more than an accident. We've apologized to ARCS Zhang Jian for everything that happened.
