Tycoon Stepdad's Popularity (Part-1)

45

Chapter 45

Su Bai had now completely fallen from grace.

The internet was flooded with exposés about him, and netizens were feasting on the gossip.

"I thought Su Bai really had a powerful father, but it turns out he had a sugar daddy."

"Su Bai's fans used to brag about this all the time; they can't say a word now."

"Su Bai is really bold, daring to parade around with his sugar daddy in broad daylight."

"There's another piece of gossip, not verified, but apparently Su Bai has had several sugar daddies before. He was just a nobody back then, but this one is the richest."

"I can't believe I used to like Su Bai; I must have been blind."

"Everyone, go check Weibo-someone has named and shamed Su Bai. It turns out he actually had a boyfriend, but he cheated because he looked down on his partner's humble background..."

"Wow! This is a chain of scandals!"

The discussion about Su Bai online was intense, and things weren't any better in real life.

The executives at his agency had high hopes for Su Bai, but they never expected such a scandal.

They didn't care about the annual meeting anymore; they hurriedly tried to distance themselves from Su Bai, fearing that he would tarnish the company's reputation.

At that moment, Su Bai, covered in bruises, huddled in a corner, clutching his torn clothes, too afraid to face anyone.

His sugar daddy was too busy dealing with family issues to care about him. Even if he had the time, he wouldn't bother with Su Bai anymore. After all, it was just a transaction; did Su Bai expect genuine affection?

Su Bai cowered alone in the corner.

No one came to take care of him. The sycophants who used to follow him had vanished without a trace.

Only now did Su Bai realize that Lin Yi wasn't someone easy to deal with.

Choosing Lin Yi as an opponent might be the biggest mistake of his life.

But he still didn't think he was wrong.

He always believed himself to be noble, a star adored by everyone, entitled to do whatever he wanted, with the world revolving around him.

Unfortunately, no matter what Su Bai thought, no one saw him as that glamorous star anymore.

...

Time passed quickly, and soon it was the day to film the parenting show.

Lin Yi rarely woke up early, but today he did, stretching as he went downstairs.

Once downstairs, he started looking for Huo Jihan.

After all, he was going on another trip, so it was only right to inform Huo Jihan.

Fortunately, Huo Jihan hadn't left for the company yet and was sitting in the living room reviewing some documents.

Li Feng stood respectfully nearby, waiting for Huo Jihan to sign the documents before sending them to the branch offices.

Seeing they were busy, Lin Yi didn't disturb them and leaned against the wall, waiting for them to finish.

When Huo Jihan entered work mode, he exuded an aura that made people want to follow and obey, a commanding presence that kept others at bay.

Soon, Huo Jihan finished signing the last document.
