Tycoon Stepdad's Popularity (Part-1)

44 (ii)

"Haha, this whole thing is just praising Su Bai and bashing Lin Yi. Surely no one thinks Lin Yi bought these articles himself, right?"

"Regardless, Lin Yi is really handsome. The marketing accounts deliberately chose a bad angle, but he still looks amazing!!"

Finally, there were Lin Yi's fans.

"Taking Lin Yi away, no need for your company!"

"What did Lin Yi do to offend anyone again?"

"Sisters, don't argue with them. I have many beautiful pictures of Linlin; I'll send them to you."

"Exactly, such low-level slander is not worth our time."

Seeing the online trend, Su Bai and his group were frustrated that it wasn't going as planned. There were many positive comments about Lin Yi.

An entourage quickly consoled Su Bai, "Brother Bai, don't get angry. Lin Yi isn't worth it."

Su Bai glanced at him irritably without saying anything.

How could he not be angry? Despite repeated attempts, he couldn't get rid of Lin Yi, who was like a thorn in his side, making it hard for him to breathe.

Another entourage suggested, "Brother Bai, why don't we finish off Lin Yi once and for all?"

This idea appealed to Su Bai. "What's your plan?"

The entourage replied, "Why don't we drug Lin Yi? Once he's desperate, we can arrange for a few people to sleep with him. When the paparazzi report it, Lin Yi will be finished."

This method was direct and permanent.

But Su Bai wasn't foolish enough to risk it. If it failed, he would be in deep trouble. Drugging someone was serious business.

Seeing Su Bai's hesitation, the entourage volunteered, "Don't worry, Brother Bai. I'll handle it for you."

Su Bai finally looked at the follower and promised, "If you get this done, I'll recommend you for the second lead role in my next project."

The follower was overjoyed. "Thank you, Brother Bai!"

He had been waiting for a chance to curry favor with Su Bai, and now it had finally come.

Looking at Lin Yi, he could tell that he didn't have much of a background-probably just managed to hook up with some sugar daddy. How could that compare to Su Bai, the top star? So he was willing to do this for Su Bai.

Meanwhile.

Lin Yi was munching on an apple, crunching away leisurely.

At that moment, a waiter approached with a tray. "Excuse me, would you like some champagne?"

As he spoke, he offered the tray to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi replied, "Thanks."

He reached out to take the glass of champagne closest to him.

But then, he noticed the glass was trembling.

Because the waiter's hand was subtly shaking.

Lin Yi glanced at the waiter without showing any emotion, noticing a fleeting panic in his eyes.

Lin Yi slowly picked up the champagne but didn't drink it. Instead, he started chatting with the waiter. "How long have you been working here?"

The waiter didn't know why Lin Yi suddenly asked this, but he had to answer, "H-Half a year."

Lin Yi continued, "You look young. Did you drop out of school to work here? Is your family having difficulties?"

The waiter's eyes widened slightly. "How did you know?"
