Chapter 80 - Imminent death warning: within the next two hours, please go pick up your wife, Ji Qingqing, from work and bring 99 roses with you. (1)
Ji Qingqing knew that Lu Lixing was from a prestigious family and had an equally prestigious career. Although she didn't know who was behind this eye-catching entertainment tabloid, they had ended up writing libel about Lu Lixing, and it would be child's play for Lu Lixing to deal with them.
Besides, Lu Lixing was the one that caused this mess to begin with, so it was only right that he cleaned up the fallout.
However, the gossip and libel that this tabloid had spread was interesting.
Ji Qingqing was someone that had a "previous conviction" of this nature. She hadn't been liked by anyone in the entertainment circle, and once Gu Shaoyu publicly dumped her while declaring she was only his kept plaything and not his girlfriend, Ji Qingqing's reputation as a kept woman was cemented.
And so, once this article had come out, the netizens wholeheartedly believed it. One after another, they speculated who was the foolish spendthrift that was willing to support Ji Qingqing.
Who was the parvenu that Ji Qingqing got her claws into?

Lu Lixing didn't spend much time or energy paying attention to that entertainment tabloid. When he went to work early the next morning, he called over the Legal Department's director to deal with this matter. The members of the Legal Department were usually busy dealing with pressing issues.
Once the Director of the Legal Department arrived at his office, he showed him the entertainment tabloid and ordered him to get this newspaper company to remove the false information and issue an apology.
After the Legal Department's director read the entertainment tabloid, he thought about it and remembered that Ji Qingqing, who was the main target of the article, was one of Tianyu Entertainment's signed artists.
In addition to regularly handling various disputes related to the company's economic interests, the Legal Department was also responsible for lawsuits related to their CEO's reputation. But, why did the boss show him this entertainment tabloid? What connection did Ji Qingqing and that parvenu have with Lu Corporation?
"CEO Lu, shouldn't Ji Qingqing's matter be handled by Tianyu Entertainment's side?"
His department was very busy, and the lawsuits they handled were ones that were worth tens of millions yuan. Why was his boss tossing him the news about a third-rate actress and a parvenu?
Lu Lixing, who was surrounded by a pile of documents, raised his head and looked at the highly regarded Legal Department's director. He asked him, "Do you think it's accurate to portray me as a parvenu?"
The Legal Department's director immediately turned his head. Not inquiring about his boss's private affairs, he went straight to promising in no uncertain terms and with a serious expression, "CEO Lu, rest assured, I'll handle this matter immediately. This libelous..."
"It's not all wrong." Lu Lixing coughed. He tried to keep his face expressionless as he said," It is Ji Qingqing and I in those photos. The amount spent is also right..."
In short, other than saying he was a "parvenu", everything else was true.
Lu Lixing stopped speaking. He couldn't afford to lose this person yet.
"Actually, go back first. I don't need you to handle this matter anymore."
"Okay." The director exited the office.
Lu Lixing made a call. "Assess the potential risk and cost of acquiring Chengfei Entertainment News. If the cost to acquire it is less than seven digits, you don't need to call me back. Just draft the documents for acquisition and acquire it as soon as possible."
After saying that, he ended the call, lowered his head, and went back to dealing with the pile of documents.
Throughout the day, there was an endless stream of people in the office. The consequence of not working overtime yesterday was a bigger pile of work today. Time passed by quickly. Before he knew it, it was almost the end of the workday.
