"I know. Don't worry about these things. I'll talk to your company about the rumor refutation. You just focus on getting well," Xu Tingyu comforted him softly.
Yan Zhou felt extremely guilty and his mood was very low. "I'm really sorry. It seems that I always cause you trouble."
"How could that be? We're friends. Don't say such things between friends. It hurts our feelings." Xu Tingyu joked.
She knew very well where the blame lay.
Obviously, Yan Zhou was a victim of some interest disputes. She definitely couldn't kick him while he was down at this moment.
After comforting Yan Zhou, the agent, Brother Liu, called.
As soon as the call was connected, the other side started to scold angrily. "Teacher Xu, I always thought you weren't such a person, but I didn't expect you to be so scheming."
"We never publicly announced Yan Zhou's hospital address. Where on earth did you find out about it? And you even brought people to take pictures?"
"You're already a billionaire. If you want a man, just pay for one. Why come and ruin our Yan Zhou?"
...
After this series of accusations and scolding, Xu Tingyu didn't even get a chance to speak.
She simply turned on the speakerphone and threw the phone on the coffee table. Then she slowly brewed a cup of tea for herself.
It was not until Brother Liu finally got tired of scolding that she finally spoke.
"Without any investigation, you think I did this?"
"You said I'm rich and not bad-looking. If I really wanted to find a handsome and young man, why would I go through so much trouble?"
"Of course, there may be some people who want to achieve their goals through such exposure methods, but I don't need exposure or popularity."
"Breaking the news of a scandal with an idol, it's obvious that the woman will be severely scolded. I'm not crazy. Why would I look for trouble for myself?"
Her tone was calm but不容置疑.
Any sensible person wouldn't think that she deliberately asked someone to break the news.
Yes, there were some girls in the circle who broke the news of their relationships. Some did it because they were betrayed in the relationship and couldn't hold back their anger.
Some wanted to "rise to fame" through this method and force the man to admit it.
Some simply wanted to hype themselves up to gain exposure.
But if she did this, what would be her purpose?
Most importantly, she wasn't even in a relationship with Yan Zhou. The fans might not know this, but didn't the agent know?
The agent was choked by her reasonable analysis. It took him a while to say, "How do I know what you're up to? Maybe you just want to disgust people."
"I think it's you who wants to disgust people. Do you think I'm that idle?"
Xu Tingyu was a bit angry.
She really didn't know how this agent managed to survive in the circle. Every word he said could hit her sore spot.
"I emphasize again that I'm not interested in your company's artists. Professionally, we're just in a simple cooperation relationship. Personally, we're just ordinary friends."
"Moreover, what can I gain from this? Being scolded by netizens and being said to keep a gigolo? Come on, is this something to be proud of?"
Her series of rhetorical questions left Brother Liu speechless.
"Also, I now think your company is very inefficient. You can't protect your artists well and you even drag innocent passers-by into this."
"So I can now officially inform you that our company won't cooperate with yours in the future."
Her words were very blunt, which was very different from her usual easy-to-talk-to and easy-to-communicate-with image.
It was the first time Brother Liu was retorted like this by her. For a moment, he didn't even dare to speak.
He probably finally realized that Xu Tingyu wasn't just an ordinary dance teacher.
She was the boss of a company and already financially free. She continued to dance because she loved it, not because she had to make a living from it.
Moreover, with her current achievements, she didn't need to please anyone.
Over the years, when cooperating with Try, she had always been dedicated. It could be said that she had never let their company down in any way.
She had always been competent.
Emotionally and rationally, Brother Liu shouldn't have transferred his anger to her again and again.
"Teacher Xu, I didn't mean that. I was just really angry because of the scandal."
"Hey, we denied the scandal before, but now there are photos. It's a huge blow to Yan Zhou."
"He's still sick and already very annoyed. I was just too worried and lost my mind."
After realizing that Xu Tingyu was the boss and not someone he could manipulate at will, Brother Liu softened his attitude.
Even more, when Xu Tingyu said she wanted to terminate the contract, his heart skipped a beat.
If at this moment, Xu Tingyu's company publicly announced that they were terminating the contract, wouldn't it seem like the whole thing was a hype by the brokerage company?
This would have a huge negative impact on Yan Zhou.
Seeing his softened attitude, Xu Tingyu didn't forgive him immediately. Instead, she gave a cold snort. "You only care about your artist. Don't you care about other people's feelings?"
Didn't she have any face?
After such a scandal broke out, she was worried that people would look at her with prejudice.
Brother Liu apologized again. "I was really out of my mind. Don't take it to heart. Yan Zhou always praises you in front of me."
"Cut it out. My relationship with Yan Zhou is one thing, and my relationship with you is another. Moreover, this is the third time you've offended me."
Xu Tingyu clearly intended to settle the score with him today.
Brother Liu paused for a long time before carefully asking, "Where did the three times come from?"
"Hehe, are you still pretending to be stupid in front of me? The first time, I was photographed having dinner with the whole team. Some people spread rumors about me and Yan Zhou. You guys wanted me to be the scapegoat."
"The second time, I kindly helped you find Qi Ye's connection. Without asking for the truth, you just scolded me."
"This is the third time. I went to visit Yan Zhou, and you thought I did it on purpose to be photographed. You immediately called to scold me."
"What, in your eyes, am I that easy to bully?"
Xu Tingyu finally brought the topic to Qi Ye.
If she suddenly asked, the other side might be on guard. But now that he wanted to ease the relationship, he would explain everything one by one.
Sure enough, Brother Liu got anxious and immediately explained everything.
"No, for the first incident, we really didn't know. We didn't mean to make you the scapegoat. We clarified it immediately afterwards."
"For the second incident, I was really heartbroken for Yan Zhou. At that time, his life was in danger. I went to find Young Master Qi, but was turned away."
"At that time, I was really angry. But I wasn't angry because I was turned away. I was angry because they blocked our way to the hospital. I was afraid that it would delay the treatment."
"Now that I think about it, there must have been some misunderstandings. But at that time, I really had no other choice. I was in a bad mood, so I couldn't hold back when I called you."
Brother Liu's voice got lower and lower.
It wasn't just that he was in a bad mood when he called. He called just to scold her.
