I'm such a lovesick person.

Chapter 365 Hua Hongshan's Apology
The next day.

September 3th, Saturday.

Affection level: 5336.5/50000.

Life Energy: 970/5000.

When Wei Lin woke up from Shen Yanfei's gentle embrace, he habitually glanced at the affection value system and suddenly realized that the lawyer Liu Yue had silently given him another bit of favorability.

He focused his consciousness and noticed that Liu Yue and Hua Hongshan had dinner together last night and each drank a bottle of red wine.

The two chatted all night, and many of their conversations touched on him. After returning home, Hua Hongshan tossed and turned, and her favorability rating increased by more than twenty points overnight.

Liu Yue also contributed to the positive impression.

"These two crazy women are really interesting."

Wei Lin chuckled to himself.

He thought Hua Hongshan was quite foolish for becoming best friends with a woman like Liu Yue, and being instigated by this best friend to always be wary of him.

Despite her initial wariness, Liu Yue eventually developed feelings for him, though she didn't know if Hua Hongshan was aware of it.

Liu Yue was quite interesting; after developing strange feelings for him, she instead kept speaking well of him, telling Hua Hongshan not to look at him with prejudice.

Liu Yue's actions have once again changed Wei Lin's understanding of women.

"Gao Xue's affection level is very low now, only a little bit every now and then."

Upon closer inspection of the source of the affection points, he noticed that Gao Xue and several classmates sang karaoke and drank a few bottles of beer at a karaoke bar last night. After returning to her residence, she offered two affection points before going to bed.

"I seem to have neglected her, and been the most indifferent to her..."

Wei Lin opened his WeChat chat history with Gao Xue.

"Brother Wei, I've started school. I arrived in Linjiang City today."

"Okay, study hard, and remember to come to me if you need money."

"Brother Wei, I don't need money right now."

"Brother Wei, tomorrow's the weekend, are you busy?"

"I'm going on a business trip tomorrow, so I'll be busy."

"Brother Wei, are you back from your business trip?"

"not yet."

"Brother Wei, I miss you. Do you have time to meet up recently?"

"I'll talk to you when I'm done."

"Brother Wei."

Looking at the intermittent chat messages, Wei Lin fell into deep thought.

He suddenly realized that among all the women, Gao Xue was the one he felt the least emotionally for; he had neither spent time with her nor had much verbal communication with her.

His cold indifference gradually made Gao Xue realize the situation, and she stopped sending messages to inquire about anything.

Time and time again, day after day.

Gao Xue was probably disheartened and shifted her attention to other things. She no longer thought about him all the time, and her love gradually faded.

A woman's emotions are like flowers; they need companionship and nurturing. If he chooses to treat her with indifference, then Gao Xue's emotional flower will gradually wither.

"Gao Xue..."

The two relationships Wei Lin most wanted to sever were with Xiang Wen and Gao Xue.

The reason is simple: he really doesn't have much love.

Another point is that Han Ying teaches at Gao Xue's university, and Han Ying and Zhuang Qing are best friends. He has been in contact with Gao Xue too much and too frequently, and he is worried that it will alert Zhuang Qing.

"Forget it, it's best if she gradually lets go of that, so I can move on to developing new goals."

Wei Lin pondered this indifferently.

Suddenly, Hua Hongshan, who hadn't contacted him for a long time, sent him a message: "Wei Lin, if you're free this morning, come to the company. We need to talk about some things."

Wei Lin thought for a moment and replied, "Okay, see you at Qingque at 9:30."

……

Qingque Clothing.

Today is Saturday, and only a small number of people are working overtime to handle some urgent online matters; most employees have taken the day off.

Hua Hongshan has almost no days off.

She arrives at Qingque every day on time, either to design new clothing products or to coordinate with brands and advertisers, keeping her schedule packed full.

At 9:30, two cups of hot Americano were placed on her desk in her office.

When Wei Lin came in, she pushed one of the cups in front of him, adopting a businesslike attitude, and said, "Recently, the company has invested in many platforms, and the results have been surprisingly good. The brands that cooperate with Qingque have also had good sales after purchasing the goods, and there are no problems with any of the company's businesses."

Wei Lin remained calm and nodded slightly.

Seeing his cold and perfunctory attitude, Hua Hongshan sighed inwardly and said, "Wei Lin, even if there are some minor disagreements between us, they shouldn't affect Qingque, right?"

Lately, Liu Yue has been contacting her frequently, mostly about her and Wei Lin, hoping that she can dispel her hostility towards Wei Lin for the sake of Qingque's development.

Hua Hongshan felt something was amiss, wondering what kind of spell Wei Lin had cast on Liu Yue to make her keep praising him.

She hadn't seen Wei Lin for quite some time, and she missed him terribly. But Wei Lin hadn't come to Qingque again, nor had he contacted her privately.

She's easily embarrassed, and even if she misses Wei Lin, she won't actively seek him out unless she has a suitable reason.

Today, she finally has a suitable reason.

“There’s nothing wrong between us.” Wei Lin smiled and said, “You said that if there’s nothing else, I shouldn’t come to the company. President Hua, I’ve been doing everything you asked of me lately and trying my best not to bother you at the company.”

The reason why Qingque's various businesses are able to operate so well is because of the fruits of his career.
Otherwise, given Hua Hongshan's personal abilities, how could any advertisement she invests in be so effective?

Are you still angry?

Hua Hongshan pursed her lips, lowered her head slightly, and said, "Yueyue has come to me several times to clarify that she had some misunderstanding about you, which led me to mislead you as well."

Wei Lin remained silent.

"Wei Lin, I admit I was wrong. Can I apologize to you?"

Hua Hongshan took the initiative to lower her stance.

Wei Lin remained calm and asked, "What do you want from me?"

"See for yourself."

Hua Hongshan opened her tablet, got off her seat, came to Wei Lin's side, placed the tablet in front of Wei Lin, and flipped through the pages one by one.

Surprisingly, all the news was about Li Qinling.

Major entertainment gossip media outlets are all saying that Li Qinling acted like a diva on set, that she can't act at all, and that she smeared the audience by claiming she lip-synced and had numerous relationships during her student years, etc.

Wei Lin knew Li Qinling well, and knew her kind and innocent nature. He could tell at a glance that it was all slander.

Recalling the last time Li Qinling came, there were paparazzi following her, trying to capture negative news about her, he realized that Li Qinling must have offended someone.

Wei Lin didn't bother to look at it again and said confidently, "The news is all fake!"

“I know most of it is fake, but these news reports are very bad for her image. Her public relations team is struggling to cope and hasn’t been able to resolve the issue completely yet.”

“Wei Lin, she is not only our Qingque’s spokesperson, but she also helped you a lot with the ‘Rebellious Demon’ hat.”

“Her image also represents Qingque's image in some ways. If the problem on her side cannot be resolved in time, it will affect our Qingque brand.”

"I invited you here today to ask what your plans are?"

Hua Hongshan asked earnestly.

"What do you think?"

Wei Lin's face darkened.

Qingque's current scale and prospects are all thanks to Li Qinling's sudden rise to fame after the New Year. Now, Li Qinling is facing trouble, and he is worried that Hua Hongshan wants to abandon her.

If a celebrity's image is damaged and there are too many negative news stories, their contracting party can terminate the contract according to the agreement.

Even worse, some people demand compensation from celebrities.

"She's someone you signed, so she should still be your friend. You can handle this yourself; I won't get involved."

Hua Hongshan replied without hesitation, "Whatever decision you make, I will support you! Wei Lin, I believe she is as you say, definitely not the kind of person portrayed in the media!"

Upon hearing this, Wei Lin's expression softened slightly.

He didn't rush to speak, but instead pondered the matter seriously, knowing that Li Qinling was probably also in a state of great distress and was trying to find a solution.

How can we help Li Qinling?
He wasn't very familiar with the entertainment industry, and Li Qinling had a powerful agent behind her. If that agent also had trouble handling things, he might not be able to help much.

Furthermore, Li Qinling and Fu Jintang are good friends. Fu Jintang has exceptional abilities and connections, so she will likely try to help Li Qinling as well.

"I'm planning to go to Shanghai to meet with Li Qinling, talk to her in person, and ask about the situation."

A moment later, Wei Lin suddenly spoke.

"Going to Shanghai? When are you planning to go?"

Hua Hongshan exclaimed in surprise.

She greatly admired Wei Lin's decisive and efficient work style, knowing that this was the kind of partner she should look for.

Glancing at the time on his wristwatch, Wei Lin thought of Fu Jintang's unresolved depression and Peng Xiang's still unclear situation, and said, "Now."

Hua Hongshan was shocked, not expecting Wei Lin to be so decisive and efficient.

After hesitating for a moment, she asked, "Would it be convenient for me to come along?"

“I also want to meet Miss Li Qinling in person and see what kind of person she is. Don’t worry, I won’t interrupt or say a word while you’re talking! I’ll just watch from the side and I’ll get a general idea of ​​what kind of person she is.”

Wei Lin was taken aback.

Hua Hongshan is the founder of Qingque and his partner. After this incident, it is reasonable for him to ask Li Qinling about the situation and bring Hua Hongshan along.

However, he and Hua Hongshan never left Linjiang City to travel to other unfamiliar cities together on business trips.

Being alone together, and with Hua Hongshan clearly having feelings for him, if she were to meet Fu Jintang, Fu Jintang, with his shrewd eyes, would probably notice something.

"If it's inconvenient for you, then never mind."

Hua Hongshan said with a somber expression.

After a detailed discussion with Liu Yue last night, she plans to take the initiative to ease the tension in her relationship with Wei Lin.

The two of them went on a business trip to Shanghai together to resolve Qingque's issue, which meant they would spend a day or two together, providing her with a great opportunity.

So she wanted to go with them.

"It's convenient. Do you want to go home and pack some clothes?"

Wei Lin asked.

Hua Hongshan's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, "Have you forgotten that Qingque is a clothing company? I always keep my everyday sportswear in my office, so I don't need to go home to pack!"
