“What you mean is…” The female assistant in the nanny car that had already driven a distance away from the coffee shop pointed at the coffee shop that was almost out of sight in the back with a ridiculous smile on her face, “Our trending searches were removed, our videos were deleted, and our entries were blacklisted. We were put on the black trending searches and immediately ranked first on the main list. These were not done by our peers, but by the people in that crappy coffee shop?”

She looked like she was about to burst out laughing.

"What time are you still arguing? The most important thing now is to remove the trending search and clarify." Luo Han frowned and clicked on the trending search. As he browsed, his face became more and more ugly. Finally, he sneered, "I don't know how much money the person behind this gave to the coffee shop. The surveillance footage that was supposed to be deleted was sent out just like that."

As he said this, he looked up at the male assistant in the co-pilot seat with a cold look in his eyes: "Didn't you watch her delete it?"

"I made sure I watched her delete them all." The male assistant looked at him through the rearview mirror without flinching.

"Then go talk to them again and bring the confidentiality agreement she signed." Luo Han said calmly, "If they refuse, just add more money - they are just asking for money, you keep giving, the bottom line is five million. I don't believe that the person who asked them for the surveillance can be willing to spend so much money on this crappy surveillance."

Seeing a comment on his phone that called him a bastard, Luo Han's face darkened immediately. "But if those two women are so greedy that they can't stop talking even after paying five million, we will sue them for blackmail. Remember to record the whole process, and then play the recording of the bargaining after the incident, and say that their surveillance video was edited - no one will believe them then."

"Brother Han, you are so smart." Xiao Xue was immediately surprised, "Fortunately, you are handsome enough to be a big star, otherwise, wouldn't you come to steal our jobs?"

Even if I was in a bad mood, I couldn't help but be amused by these words.

The assistant to the co-pilot seemed not to understand his expression: "With this money, we might as well use it to remove the two black trending searches and then hire a group of Internet trolls to cover up public opinion. After a few days, no one will remember this matter."

"You want me to swallow my anger? Let others slander and defame me like my grandson?"

“…” The male assistant was speechless for a moment.

Luo Han chuckled, "My most valuable thing now is my reputation. What's five million? I want to get out of this matter cleanly and gain a reputation as a beautiful, strong and miserable person who deserves sympathy. At the same time, I want those who benefit from it to suffer a great loss."

"Brother Han is right. The good reputation we have built up after years of hard work cannot be measured by a mere five million. Brother Wen, just go and talk to them. Give them some sweet treats first, and then we can slowly deal with them later."

"..."

We have arrived at the film set.

Assistant Xue jumped out of the car first, then respectfully opened the door.

Luo Han straightened her clothes and walked down, and all she could hear was the crazy cheers of her fans.

"Hanhan, don't be sad! We all believe in you!"

"Come on, Brother Han!"

"Sister Xue, was your face hit by the owner of that coffee shop?"

Amid the chaotic shouting, Luo Han raised his head and gave a forced and pale smile.

Looking past the fans who were screaming with concern, he met Le Yue's eyes which were hidden under the brim of her hat.

The photo of this man sleeping in a fast food restaurant last night was still in his phone. When he saw the real person now, he naturally felt a sense of superiority.

He was about to smile over there, but saw that the man smiled at him first.

Luo Han was stunned.

The sky was clear, and at that moment, the actor who once became famous for having "the gentlest eyes in the entertainment industry" had a very distant and cold look in his eyes. His smile was even more condescending than before, like a human looking down at a poor ant, and even with a hint of pity.

Luo Han became angry almost instantly, but the shouting around him made him suppress his emotions. He began to quickly figure out how to deal with this ignorant guy.

·

As the luxury nanny car drove away, Qu Wugang broke his first hand.

Screams like slaughtering pigs rang out, and more fans rushed over here. She flipped over from the cashier counter and beat them one by one, slapping the fans' delicately made-up faces. The senior sister who was still screaming in fear was stunned for a moment and didn't see clearly how she moved. She only felt that after a dance-like movement, the group of aggressive fans all fell down wailing.

"It's just like watching a martial arts movie." She murmured, poking Xiao Jin, a part-time student who was also hiding behind the cash register, without even turning her head. "Who is your boss? He's so handsome."

"Her basic skills, Big Boss is really good at fighting." Xiao Jin commented while eating melon seeds with great experience, "These people are too weak. Although they look strong, they are not very skilled. My Big Boss is not afraid of fighting any man."

"Fuck, is this what it means to be a great hermit in the city?"

The senior's eyes began to sparkle.

Qu Wu had already stopped his work amidst the wailing. He turned around and looked at the murals on the wall that had not been damaged yet. He reluctantly breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to touch them. He muttered to himself, "How about thinking of a way to put a layer of protective film on them all?"

When Ye Kong was done with get out of class, a police car was parked in front of the coffee shop. The man in the hat was leading a group of girls who were dressed up elegantly but had bruised faces and noses out of the shop. Inside the shop -

She stood at the door, looking at the mess inside that looked like a typhoon had passed through, and fell into a long silence.

"Your coffee shop is really an accident-prone area."

A familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him. Ye Kong turned around and saw that it was a handsome and tall uncle in a hat... Big Brother.

Meeting her eyes, the man was slightly startled, then frowned slightly and said, "You don't forget me, do you?"

Ye Kong tilted his head and stared at him for several seconds before saying, "Lin Yu."

"..." Officer Lin was speechless for a while, "I've been busy with a major cross-provincial case recently and have no time to look for you. I heard that you took Xinzhou and the others to Huahe for a visit?"

Ye Kong nodded.

"Very good. Xinzhou has a good personality and is suitable to be friends with. You can get along with her more often. You can also come to my house with her when you have time." Officer Lin invited again, "The case has just been concluded. I still have a few days to be busy. I will come to see you often in the future... No, I should say I will come to play with you."

"……Oh."

"Brother Police! What rights do you have to arrest us? She was the one who beat us!"

A sharp question interrupted their conversation.

Ye Kong turned his head and met the defiant eyes of a fan.

The man's eyes widened when he saw her, and he looked like he wanted to pounce on her and eat her. Even when the police stopped him, he still struggled and pointed at her: "And her! And her! She also beat people up! Why don't you arrest her!"

"You were reported for smashing the store and damaging other people's property without reason. The surveillance showed that you were the first to hit people. The owner was just defending himself passively."

Without saying anything more to these people, Lin Yu waved his hand and asked someone to take everyone into the police car.

The last person to come out was Qu Wu.

She walked slowly, with a smile on her face, not showing the ferocity that had swept the entire place just now. She stopped smiling when she saw Ye Kong, and walked up to him and said, "I'll go take a statement and be back soon. Just leave the things in the store. I'll come back to sort them out later. Be careful not to step on any debris."

Ye Kong silently glanced at the woman with sparkling eyes following behind her: "Who is this?"

Qu Wu glanced back and snorted, "She said she is your best friend who you can talk to about anything."

Ye Kong then remembered.

The senior student in front of him hastily changed her words: "Now I am your best friend who you can talk to about anything."

She grabbed Qu Wu's arm and said, "Beautiful lady, we have lived and died together. It would be okay to exchange names and contact information, right?"

Qu Wu: ...

Ye Kong laughed and said casually: "Congratulations, you have gained a good friend who you can talk to about anything."

She picked up a withered flower from a broken pot from the ground, walked past the two people, and walked into the store.

·

Ye Kong walked to the cashier counter and sat down. Xiao Jin made her some sweet water while telling her everything that had just happened.

"Although we may lose a little money, the enemy will lose more!"

Xiao Jin was so excited that he showed her his phone. "I don't know which kind-hearted person is trying to punish that damn demon Luo Han. This time he has been severely damaged."

The most popular Weibo post is on the phone.

The surveillance footage that Qu Wu deleted that night appeared on it exactly as it was. Except for Ye Kong's face being blurred, everything else was clearly shown. There were even camera switches, ensuring that the expression on Luo Han's face could be fully seen by every viewer.

This caused an uproar on the internet.

With a swipe of the little golden finger, all you see are sarcastic or blunt and ugly insults.

-Hey? Isn't this our sunny, cheerful, beautiful and kind-hearted happy puppy? How could he do such a thing as recording without permission and insisting on his own opinion after being rejected? Such an uneducated and aggressive guy should not be our beautiful and kind-hearted happy puppy, right?

-I'm really disappointed. The younger generation of actors had always had a great fondness for him and Le Yue. Le Yue has good acting skills, and Luo Han has a good character and personality. I didn't expect that they were all fake. Is the person in the surveillance video who laughed and asked "How much do you want" really Luo Han?

-If you want to drink coffee, do you have to use the slaves who have already finished get off work to make it for you? If you want to shoot a video, do you not ask if the person is willing to be in the video? Even though the person clearly refused, you still threw money at him? You smiled while throwing money at him? Do you think he is a beggar? You even allowed your assistant to throw coffee at her. What did the store manager who has already finished get off work do wrong to be humiliated by you? You have such a condescending face, and you don't even look at yourself. You just said one million and gave it to him. I think it's time for the tax bureau to check your taxes.

-I have long thought that Luo Han is a pretentious bitch. Her laughter is amazing. When my mom heard it, she thought she was a smug villain in a TV series. If I say that the boss did a good job of beating him, then it’s not really beating. It’s not like you were the first to throw coffee at the store manager and his paintings. People won’t use your face to wipe the wall - you have to deal with the garbage you create yourself. Even elementary school students understand this, right?

-You have the nerve to turn the tables. This morning's video was obviously shot with Luo Han's camera. I don't know how much editing went into producing such a pure and innocent version. I'm sick of it.

-One million is given as soon as he is asked, @Tax Bureau investigate him!

……

Ye Kong glanced at one page and stopped reading.

She turned her head and looked at the table, where Qu Wu's laptop was still.

He opened it casually, pressed his fingerprint, and successfully unlocked the screen. Ye Kong saw at a glance the surveillance video that filled the folder on the screen.

The store’s surveillance footage could not have been easily deleted by a few operations on the counter without Qu Wu’s involvement.

——It’s a pity that outsiders don’t know, and that stupid actor doesn’t know either.

It is not clear whether Qu Wu paid to get on the hot search list or directly hacked other people's programs.

In the future, I still have to remind her that if something can be solved with money, then use money to solve it, and don't step into the gray world too frequently, otherwise I will have to rescue her myself if she goes in one day.

Ye Kong closed his computer, picked up the cup on the table, and gulped down the whole glass of sweet water.

In good spirits, she stood up and looked at the mess in the store.

The tables, chairs, sofas, and flower pots were all chosen by Qu Wu himself, but now most of them were scattered among the debris, looking unsightly no matter how you looked at them.

Ye Kong walked around the bar and started to clean up the mess in the corner.

Xiao Jin, who was originally cursing happily, was startled: "Little boss, what are you doing?"

Ye Kong, who was grunting as he was trying to prop up a table, finally managed to speak after a while: "Are you blind? Can't you see?"

"..." Xiao Jin raised his phone and took a picture of her, muttering, "I asked because I saw it - the young boss can actually work?"

Ye Kong: ...

After cleaning up for a while, Ye Kong heard someone pushing the door open. Thinking it was Qu Wu coming back, she didn't look up until a bony hand reached out and picked up a large piece of broken porcelain that she was about to pick up.

When it was thrown into the bucket, it made a very crisp sound.

Ye Kong paused, looked up, and met a pair of gentle eyes under the brim of the hat.

She stopped moving.

The man stared at her for two seconds, and seemed to have no idea what to say, so he looked away and whispered, "This is all my responsibility."

Ye Kong still didn't say anything, so he continued in a low voice: "If it weren't for me staying here, Luo Han wouldn't have come in the first place, your store manager wouldn't have been splashed with coffee, your painting pages wouldn't have been destroyed, and your store wouldn't have been smashed."

Ye Kong squatted and looked at him, and after a moment he said: "I see, so what?"

"..." The man seemed stunned for a moment before saying, "So, at least let me help you clean up the mess."

Ye Kong thought about it, nodded simply, stood up and clapped his hands: "Then do it, do as much as you can, it doesn't matter if you can't do it, I won't blame you."

Watching her leaving without hesitation, the man was stunned again, and couldn't help but ask subconsciously: "Where are you going?"

"I'll get the broom and sweep the dirt off the floor."

Ye Kong walked away without looking back, and came back again after a while.

She started sweeping from the corner, focusing on her work seriously and without any intention of communicating with others.

The man also picked up the debris on the ground carefully.

The crisp sound rang out again and again, while the rustling sound of the broom was very light.

Xiao Jin behind the bar couldn't help but secretly take a few photos excitedly. The man noticed it but said nothing and pretended not to know.

The two of them didn't communicate throughout the whole process until Qu Wu came back.
