Be reborn and be happy to the fullest

After finishing her phone call with her brother Li Shiji, Li Fuyi completely gave up on Li Shuo: other women would naturally flock to him if they knew he was a chaebol, but Li Fuyi was the opposite; she had no interest in chaebols, so her sexual interest in Li Shuo instantly diminished.

Unfortunately, when she returned to the arena, the "tycoon eating a hot dog" photo was spreading rapidly. So, after a League of Legends match, the entire venue, where the photo originated, instantly erupted in chaos: the large screen overhead displayed the photo, the phones of those around her showed the photo, and even the topic of conversation was "a tycoon is right next to me"...

Li Fu rolled his eyes upon hearing this, finding it hard to understand the extraordinary level of interest these fellow clansmen had in the financial magnates. Growing impatient, he had no choice but to leave disappointed.

Originally, Li Fuyi was going to leave immediately, but before he left, Li Shiji called again and asked with great interest, "You just mentioned Li Shuo, did you see him? That guy seems to have made a big fuss. Did he really eat so heartily at the event without any regard for decorum?"

A series of questions, delivered in an exaggerated tone, gave Li Fuyi a peculiar feeling: Li Shiji, as the three-star crown prince, had always maintained a serious and upright image.

"Yeah, that's right, bro, why are you concerned about this?"

"Uh, no, just chatting... By the way, I have a private room at the e-sports plaza. I haven't been there in a while. Could you help me warm up the room? Also, Sanxing Media said you seem to have been featured in a report about Li Shuo. Could you contact your people and see if you need to have it removed..."

Although Li Shiji said that, Li Fuyi vaguely sensed that his older brother seemed to want to be like Li Shuo.
The thought had barely crossed her mind when Li Fuyi quickly dismissed it; she didn't care about Li Shuo at all!

Subsequently, Li Fuyi contacted the people at Sanxing Media, and soon, the staff on site invited Li Fuyi to the backstage of the studio:

“Miss Fu Yi, please take a look at this photo. Although it's a picture of Chairman Li Shuo, and the focus isn't on you, you are still very eye-catching in the photo because of your beautiful appearance and sweet temperament. And this one too…”

The person in charge of this matter was Zhang PD from Sanxing Esports, a subsidiary of Sanxing Media. She placed a tablet computer in front of Li Fuyi and quickly explained the whole story to him.

It happened around the time Li Shuo was being interviewed. Li Fuyi happened to be next to Li Shuo at the time, and her e-sports girl outfit was really beautiful and photogenic, and it fit the atmosphere at the time. So the photographer took more photos and posted them along with the reports on Li Shuo.

"...Right now, everyone who sees the news just thinks of you as an ordinary e-sports beauty, but some followers are already searching for your information online. According to data we got from N Search's backend, the search volume for the keyword 'e-sports beauty next to Li Shuo' has started to surge abnormally. So, just in case, I reported this to my superiors. I'm contacting you now to ask for your opinion. If you don't mind, we can downplay this matter..."

After listening to PD Zhang's words, Li Fuyi frowned and said, "No, I don't want to get involved with that playboy who hangs out in the entertainment industry!"

South Korean high society actually has a very strong "feudal mindset," similar to ancient China. They genuinely have a division of society into different classes and truly treat celebrities in the entertainment industry as mere actors. Lee Boo-il has a strong princess complex and is very arrogant. In her eyes, the entertainment industry is very dirty, and Lee Seok, with his ambiguous relationships with the actors, is naturally a playboy.

Now, PD Zhang was in a dilemma: "But, Ms. Fu Yi, it's unrealistic to completely erase trending news..."

Li Fuyi didn't quite understand. He glanced at her blankly and asked, "Are you kidding me? Our family is going to censor a news story. How did that become 'unrealistic'?"

PD Zhang smiled wryly: "Ordinary news is fine, of course, but how can we suppress news that has already spread? Can we silence everyone? All we can do is guide and downplay the elements about you in the news..."

Seeing Li Fuyi's unhappy expression, she carefully added, "Especially given your current situation, all the attention is focused on that overseas tycoon chairman. If we act rashly, we might inadvertently attract media attention. If someone follows the trail and finds out your identity, that would be counterproductive!"

Li Fuyi was able to listen to advice, and she felt that what PD Zhang said made a lot of sense, but there was a problem...

"Are we just going to leave it like this? You said it yourself, what if..."

"Damn it, Han Xun, Xiao Yu, what are you doing?!"

PD Zhang had only spoken halfway when a furious shout came from outside.

Li Fuyi raised an eyebrow in anger and said unhappily, "How can there be such rude people in an area like ours? Humph, South Korean men are really something, everyone has a temper tantrum..."

"Little princess, you mustn't say that!"

PD Zhang smiled wryly. She was, after all, a manager at Samsung, and the place where she chatted with Li Fuyi was naturally one of the best private rooms in the Media Plaza. Unfortunately…

After thinking for a moment, she explained in a low voice, "The man outside is the president of another media company. He's known for his fiery temper. I guess his two commentators have offended someone they shouldn't have, and that person contacted him through some channels..."

Seeing Li Fuyi's puzzled expression, PD Zhang pointed outside: "When we brought you in just now, we all heard those two interstellar commentators outside. They were gossiping, but they also mentioned that the overseas president had arranged several girlfriends for him..." As he said this, PD Zhang secretly observed Li Fuyi's expression: some of the photos taken by the media were cleverly captured, making it seem as if Li Fuyi was looking at Li Shuo with reverence and admiration.

"You mean Li Shuo can still put pressure on these domestic e-sports media companies?"

Li Fu frowned as she asked. She didn't care about gossip, but compared herself to Li Shuo and became more and more unhappy: her own Sanxing Company had to be persuaded to obey and have public opinion guided, so why could he, an overseas conglomerate, exert so much pressure?

"Well, maybe there are some special channels involved..."

Before Zhang PD could say anything more, Li Fuyi had already gotten up and walked out the door. Soon, the two women saw the two StarCraft commentators being called out of the studio. The hot-tempered president pointed at their heads and angrily rebuked them:
"...Who gave you the audacity to speak ill of conglomerates! Now look what's happened, our company was just publicly criticized by the e-sports association, and Chairman Kim Jung-chi almost cut off our broadcasting rights... Damn it... Idiots...&%￥..."

This guy was spewing profanities while hurling insults, making Li Fuyi want to step in and defend the two StarCraft commentators several times. However, PD Zhang reacted quickly, pulling her back and giving her a reason not to: "Miss Fuyi, they've been reprimanded, and that'll be the end of it. But if you step in now, it won't be good for them..."

Li Fuyi stomped his foot angrily and snorted coldly, "Alright, I understand. That's enough for today. As for those photos of Li Shuo, help me remove some of them. Also, you'll guide public opinion..."

After saying that, without giving PD Zhang any time to react, he turned and left...

Comparisons are the thief of joy, and Li Fuyi was genuinely angry, especially since the other party was just an overseas conglomerate!
However, just as Li Fuyi reached the exit, she saw Li Shuo also coming out. She sneered and blocked his way: "Li Shuo, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person..."

Li Shuo, who had been stopped, was naturally unaware of these twists and turns. He pointed at himself, bewildered, and asked, "Me? What happened to me? What did I do to offend you?"

Li Fu was speechless for a moment. She couldn't very well say that her subordinates were incompetent at guiding public opinion and ended up not as good as Li Shuo, could she?

"You didn't provoke me, but you're just suppressing innocent commentators like this for some gossip. It's despicable!" After about half a minute, Li Fuyi finally found an "excuse".

"laugh"

Li Shuo scoffed and said, "When those two commentators were spreading rumors and gossip about me on the platform, even fabricating facts, why didn't you, Li Fuyi, speak up? Besides, I only protested to the relevant authorities. What kind of punishment those two commentators receive depends on their companies. What does it have to do with me?"

Li Fuyi is a "real princess". She has been locked in the cage of "high society" for many years and has no idea about the dangers of the world. After being rebuked by Li Shuo, she was speechless and could not find any way to refute him.

"You...I...anyway, I just can't stand seeing you bully ordinary people..."

Her impotent rage only made Li Shuo less and less interested in her. At this moment, he was too lazy to even do the basic coping. He waved his hand, turned around and continued to walk out.

That dismissive attitude sent a surge of heat through Li Fuyi's body, making him feel a rush of heat to his head. He reached out and turned directly to Li Shuo, saying, "Hey, what kind of attitude is this? Are you looking down on me? Don't go..."

He failed to catch anyone, but this only annoyed Li Shuo. He suddenly turned around, grabbed Li Fu's arm, and strode forward threateningly...

"ah"

Amidst Li Fuyi's startled scream, Li Shuo slammed her against the wall outside, his face close to her pretty, delicate features, but his expression was slightly gloomy.

"Li Fuyi, you should know that others may fear Samsung, but I don't. At worst, I'll just withdraw from the South Korean market. So, you don't have any special privileges with me, so don't mess with me!"

"in addition……"

After those words, Li Shuo's face suddenly loomed infinitely large in front of Li Fuyi...

"Ah~"

A gasp escaped Li Fuyi's lips; she seemed speechless with fright, her mouth agape as she watched the man draw closer. Finally, her lips were forcibly pressed together… (End of Chapter)
