General Rong arrived, and General Rong knelt down.
He Fan naturally knew exactly who Li Yi was—the CEO of Heavenly Palace Media and a friend of *that* person. Moreover, the man himself was a second-generation rich. With these three layers of identity combined, there was probably no other second-generation figure who would dare act out in front of him, except for those top-tier young masters in Kyoto.
Even wealthy moguls had to be respectful and subservient in his presence.
What he hadn't expected was to encounter the man here by such a coincidence, and under these circumstances no less.
At this moment, he felt as if the sky had come crashing down.
Seeing Li Yi's arrival, the crowd automatically made a path and greeted him one after another.
"Mr. Li, you're finally here. You have no idea how arrogant that He Fan was just now."
"Yeah, yeah, he even called Brother Jun a small-time thug and said he could crush him with one finger."
"That's right! He even wanted Angelina to keep him company. When Angelina refused, he used all sorts of threats and inducements. It's so disgusting. If you ask me, a celebrity like him should be blacklisted."
Everyone chimed in, pushing He Fan to the center of the storm, as if they wouldn't rest until he was blacklisted.
Hearing this, He Fan panicked. He could now roughly understand why his boss had come to the airport and why he had been told to stay behind.
It turned out the woman in front of him was from Heavenly Palace Media. It was over; his future was going to be pitch black.
Why? Why didn't you say earlier that you were from Heavenly Palace Media? If you had said so sooner, I wouldn't have gone this far.
Most, most, most importantly, the 'Brother Jun' these fans were talking about was actually *that* person. That was the most fatal part.
He had actually blustered and called the other party a small-time influencer. He was completely finished. Given that person's power, there would be no place for him in the country.
He could already imagine that by tomorrow, he would disappear from the internet and face all sorts of trouble, breach of contract fees, and so on.
Thinking of this, his face instantly turned deathly pale.
But he wanted to make one last struggle. He made a bold decision—with a dramatic turn, he knelt before Li Yi.
With tears and snot running down his face, he said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Li, I'm sorry! I didn't know she was from your Heavenly Palace Media. If I had known, I wouldn't have dared to harass her even if I had a hundred times more courage. I know I was wrong. Please be magnanimous and give me a chance. I can't be blacklisted!"
Slap~
Slap~
Slap~
Slap~
After speaking, he slapped himself several times, apologizing incessantly.
Unfortunately, Li Yi bypassed him directly and walked straight to Angelina, saying with a smile, "Miss Angelina, welcome to Heavenly Palace Media. I am Li Yi, the CEO of Heavenly Palace Media. Brother Jun has already given instructions for me to settle you in properly."
Angelina didn't show the slightest stage fright and said elegantly, "Hello, Mr. Li. I'm truly sorry for making you come here personally."
"Not at all. As a subordinate, I naturally have to arrange everything according to Brother Jun's instructions. Please wait a moment; I'll handle the situation here first, and then we can talk in detail."
Angelina nodded upon hearing this.
Seeing this, Li Yi turned to look at He Fan, who was kneeling on the ground, and then asked Yu Weijie, "Xiao Jie, how much longer until the fifteen minutes are up?"
Yu Weijie raised his hand to check his watch. "Brother Yi, three minutes left."
"Fine, then we'll wait for Rong Huasheng for another three minutes."
"Brother Yi, should we inform Brother Jun about this?"
To his surprise, Li Yi waved his hand and said softly, "No need. There's no need to disturb Brother Jun with such a small matter. Besides, do you think Brother Jun wouldn't know about what's happening online?"
Hearing this, Yu Weijie immediately understood the meaning behind those words.
On second thought, it made sense. How could Brother Jun bother with such a trivial matter? If he had to personally oversee everything, then what would be the point of people like them?
The surrounding fans were secretly shocked to hear the conversation. The boss of Jiarong Entertainment was coming?
That was an entertainment giant. But then again, no matter how powerful the other party was, they couldn't compare to Heavenly Palace Group.
"Sigh, President Rong is also unlucky to have someone like this under him. I'm afraid it won't be easy to settle this time."
"Heh, are you kidding? If it were settled that easily, who would respect Brother Jun in the future? Even if Brother Jun himself doesn't care, his subordinates can't just act like nothing happened.
If you can't control your mouth, you'll definitely have to pay the price. It's one thing to be a keyboard warrior online, but someone actually dared to insult Brother Jun in public? That's just asking for death."
"Holy crap, President Rong really is here! Look at how he's sweating; he probably cursed out He Fan's ancestors for eighteen generations on his way here."
"I'm curious what President Rong will do, but one thing's for sure—that He Fan is finished."
"He deserves it. A celebrity with this kind of character is a menace; he'd only continue to ruin young girls."
In the distance, Rong Huasheng could be seen sprinting all the way over.
When he saw the expressionless look on Li Yi's face, his heart couldn't help but skip a beat. Glancing sideways and seeing He Fan kneeling on the ground, his anger flared up.
He stepped forward quickly and, without giving the other man a chance to speak, slapped him to the ground. Seeing this, the female fans in the distance were heartbroken.
"Isn't that He Fan's boss? You bastard, why are you hitting my idol? Sisters, hurry up and record this; let's expose them!"
"Right! How dare he hit our idol? We must expose him. And that whatever Heavenly Palace Media, let everyone see their evil deeds. We must ruin their reputation!"
"No, hurry and save our idol! Sisters, the chance for beauties to save the hero has come. Charge with me!"
In the next second, a large group of women rushed toward Li Yi and the others, but they couldn't squeeze through at all.
Seeing this, the male fans quickly blocked them outside.
"Let me in! What right do you 'disgusting men' have to block us?"
"Don't touch me! If you dare touch me again, I'll sue you for indecent assault and send you to jail!"
"Baby, someone hit me and even wants to sue me for indecent assault to send me to jail. I'm so scared."
"Damn, which vixen is so shameless as to touch my man? I'm afraid he'll melt even when I hold him in my mouth, and you dare touch him? It's you, right? You're as wide as a barrel but not as tall, nothing but waist and ass, swaying left and right when you walk like a toad floating on water.
Anyone who didn't know better would think a female toad had become a spirit. For someone like you with an underdeveloped brain and a completely non-existent cerebellum, I'll give you a round of plastic surgery first!"
"Ah! What are you doing? You barbaric woman, don't pull my hair!"
The scene fell into complete chaos. Seeing this, Li Yi frowned; if this continued, something bad might happen.
After hitting He Fan, Rong Huasheng turned to look at Li Yi with a face full of terror. "Mr. Li, I'm truly sorry. I didn't expect this to happen. Please rest assured, he won't be appearing in the public eye ever again."
Hearing this, Li Yi slowly shook his head. "If I want to blacklist him, you can't stop me. This price is not enough. Since he is your man, you will naturally bear the consequences.
You must understand one thing: his harassment of our person is secondary. He dared to talk nonsense and speak ill of Brother Jun. Why don't you, President Rong, tell me what should be done?"
"No, no, no... I wouldn't dare. How about this? Staying here longer won't be good for either of our reputations. How about... we leave first?"
Li Yi knew they couldn't stay any longer. After a moment of thought, he nodded. "President Rong, I hope you give me a satisfactory explanation as soon as possible. I'll wait for you at Tiangong Building. Miss Angelina, let's go."
Hearing this, Angelina seemed to remember something and quickly smiled at the surrounding fans. "Everyone, if you want to take a photo with me, you can come to Tiangong Building. It's only for today!"
She then turned to ask Li Yi, "Mr. Li, is this okay?"
Li Yi shrugged and said, "Of course!"
