Chapter 396 Bring Out The Secret Weapon, High-Tech Talent!
396 Bring Out The Secret Weapon, High-Tech Talent!
Zhu Bai had thought it through. She did not have any background. Even with Kou Zhiyuan’s help, she could not afford to offend Luo Feng. She was blinded by greed and was used as a tool!
“What… what do you want to know?” Zhu Bai swallowed twice before she could say a complete sentence.
Luo Feng took out his phone and turned on the recording mode. He placed it on the table openly and waved at Zhu Bai. “Come and sit. You’ll reply to whatever I ask.”
Zhu Bai looked at her phone and reluctantly stood over. She shrugged and said, “I… I advise you to deal with the paparazzi first. Otherwise, if the video is released, it’ll be too late for you to salvage it.”
Luo Feng looked up at her as if he was asking, “Are you teaching me how to do things?”
Zhu Bai lowered her head as many excuses flashed through her mind.
She felt that she could cooperate, but she could not be recorded. This was because Luo Feng would have something on her. Then, she would be controlled by Luo Feng in the future.
Besides, there were no real secrets in the entertainment industry. She would be in trouble if Kou Zhiyuan got his hands on it someday.
After thinking about it, Zhu Bai felt that the best solution now was to stall for time.
Luo Feng would not have the energy to deal with her as long as the paparazzi released the video in another 20 minutes.
Thinking of this, the corners of Zhu Bai’s mouth twitched unconsciously.
She was too smart. As long as she could hold on for a little longer and leave this place successfully, she would be Morris’ artiste! She would be on the same boat as Kou Zhiyuan.
All the troubles would be resolved by the company. She just had to receive the resources she deserved.
Zhu Bai prayed silently in her heart that Kou Zhiyuan could make Luo Feng move quickly in one go while still dealing with Luo Feng and Yang Tianzhen on the surface.
She looked at his phone, which was recording, but she was actually staring at the time. She pretended to be shy and said, “I can tell you the truth, but can you promise me not to record it?”
Zhu Bai had exquisite stage makeup on her face. Her big blinking eyes seemed to be filled with starlight, and her mouth seemed to be pouting. She looked like a harmless little rabbit.
“Am I seeing things? She’s flirting with the boss.” Wu Xingzhou sat at the side and watched, his voice filled with disbelief.
What a terrifying woman. She could still put herself in a weaker position in a weak situation. Was she trying to make her boss let down his guard?
“Don’t worry, Boss has seen all kinds of flirtatious sluts. This is too child’s play, easy.” Yang Tianzhen pretended to know Luo Feng very well.
He was not sure about anything else, but how could Luo Feng be bewitched by Zhu Bai with Ai Tingya’s looks? He was used to seeing turbulent waves, so would he praise the small pool at the door? Don’t be ridiculous!
Luo Feng was speechless. “Are your eyes cramping? Speak normally.”
His words seemed to have pierced Zhu Bai’s lungs, causing her face to turn red. She stood at attention and said, “Can we not re-record this?”
After recording, the voice could be specially processed. Even if the video was pixelated, familiar people would be able to recognize it at a glance.
Yang Tianzhen retorted, “Are you the one who sets the rules, or are we? We’ll record whatever we want!”
Zhu Bai looked at the time again. There were still 15 minutes left!
She made up her mind and shouted, “If you insist on recording it, then I won’t be able to survive. If Kou Zhiyuan finds out, he will definitely kill me! Since you all know that he is the mastermind, go and settle the score with him. Bullying a girl like me is nothing!”
Luo Feng could tell that Zhu Bai was good at using her status as a disadvantaged person.
The three men didn’t say anything. They just watched Zhu Bai go crazy. They watched as she shook her hair wildly and shouted. Her sharp voice was like nails scratching glass.
After a while, Zhu Bai was tired and looked at the time again.
Very good, only 10 minutes left!
Her eyes darted around as she thought of other excuses to stall for time.
At this moment, Luo Feng grabbed his phone and blocked the time that was jumping on it. He sneered and said, “Your trick is really not brilliant enough. Do you think that everything will be fine once the ‘bullying’ video is released? Naive.”
Zhu Bai’s expression froze as she took a step back.
She thought that her acting skills were passable, so how could she be seen through at a glance?
Luo Feng poured out the cold tea in his cup and added a new one. He gently blew away the dense steam and smiled. “Since you want to wait, let’s wait for 10 more minutes.”
“What… what do you mean?” Zhu Bai was suspicious and kept blinking guiltily.
Luo Feng did not answer, and Yang Tianzhen ignored her. Wu Xingzhou was even more excited to watch the show.
The three of them picked up their teacups and slowly tasted them, just like every leisurely afternoon.
Just as Luo Feng had said, he really waited for 10 minutes before putting down the teacup reluctantly and looking up at Zhu Bai. At this moment, Zhu Bai’s legs were numb and her heels were sore. She could not sit or walk, having stood for more than 20 minutes as a punishment.
Buzz—
The phone on the table vibrated twice.
Luo Feng picked it up and opened the message to look at Zhu Bai. It was an ultimatum from the paparazzi, or rather, a preview.
[Boss Luo, don’t blame me for being heartless!]
The paparazzi had already posted the video online.
Zhu Bai’s first reaction was joy, but right on the heels of that, she saw Luo Feng smiling as if he didn’t care at all.
“What’s so funny?” Zhu Bai said.
“You have your phone with you, right?” Luo Feng said. “Take it out and go online.”
Zhu Bai could not be bothered to hide anymore. She took out her cell phone from her pocket and found the social media account of the paparazzi she had contacted before, ignoring the message from Kou Zhiyuan.
“The video was damaged?” Zhu Bai exclaimed.
The video that was released a minute ago was already damaged?
There were also keywords such as “bullying” and “Idol Cultivation” on the title of the video. Many onlookers were waiting to see the new news, but they didn’t expect it to be empty. The comments below were filled with criticism, accusing the paparazzi of taking advantage of the popularity and telling them not to insult the paparazzi profession.
“You… you, what did you do?” Zhu Bai felt dizzy.
She had contacted this paparazzo privately. At that time, they had agreed to split the money equally, so she was sure that the paparazzo would definitely not change his mind. Luo Feng must have played a trick!
Luo Feng did not want to appear too arrogant, but his strength did not allow him to.
“I don’t know if you understand me, but my Gather Sift Takeaway apps are all developed by my university classmates. Do you understand what I mean?”
Yang Tianzhen was afraid that Zhu Bai’s poor IQ would not be able to understand, so he smiled and said, “Our boss has a team that specializes in the Internet. When they were still students, they could develop take-out apps on their own. They’re very skilled. It’s too easy for them to delete a video from someone else’s phone.”
“Shh.” Luo Feng raised his index finger. “Keep a low profile.”
“What’s there to be low profile about?” Wu Xingzhou slammed the table and stood up, “This secret weapon can’t be low profile at all!”
