This person is clearly a male protagonist in a female-oriented novel, yet he is excessively lucid.

The casual conversation in the office came to an end. Lu Haifeng glanced at his watch and realized he should go back to work.

After all, he had only come to check on the situation after hearing that something had happened here.

However, before leaving, Lu Haifeng specifically told Yu Chenzhou:

"There's a multidisciplinary consultation meeting at the hospital tomorrow morning at 10 a.m., involving several difficult cases. You're one of the key members, so please don't be late."

After saying this, he didn't give Yu Chenzhou a chance to refuse or decline. He nodded slightly and then turned and walked straight out of the office.

After Lu Haifeng left, Yu Chenzhou leaned back in his office chair and stretched.

Seeing that there was nothing to do, he picked up his phone again and continued to stir up trouble and cause chaos in her fan group, pretending to be a "die-hard fan" of Chen Xiaoxiao.

Under his deliberate guidance, the fans' dissatisfaction with Chen Xiaoxiao's agency was directly ignited, making the existing conflicts even more acute.

The fan groups are already closely connected, and information can be exchanged between different fan groups very quickly.

As a result, this dissatisfaction with the company spread like a tidal wave, quickly engulfing all of Chen Xiaoxiao's fan groups.

By the time Chen Xiaoxiao learned about the incident from her agent, the situation was completely out of control.

A large group of fans spontaneously formed a group, holding signs with protest slogans, and blocked the entrance of her agency, shouting slogans to protect their rights.

In order to make this farce go even further, Yu Chenzhou timed it perfectly and "coincidentally" passed by the company's entrance, and even thoughtfully dialed 110 (the police emergency number) for the emotionally agitated fans.

They claimed it was to "prevent physical conflict and ensure everyone's safety."

Ultimately, the group of fans who gathered at the company entrance to cause trouble were detained by the police who arrived at the scene for allegedly disturbing public order.

Now Chen Xiaoxiao and her agency are in a completely frustrating situation:

Not only could they not hold these fans accountable, but they also had to issue letters of understanding and hold an emergency press conference to clarify misunderstandings and quell public opinion.

In the end, they even had to spend money to hire lawyers to get these fans who were "generating electricity for love" out of the police station.

Chen Xiaoxiao is truly suffering in silence this time—she is the one who was implicated, yet she has to appease the troublemaking fans. She must feel incredibly frustrated.

What upset her even more was that one of her rivals in the entertainment industry seized the opportunity to exploit this farce.

This was directly interpreted by the public as a "drama orchestrated by Chen Xiaoxiao to generate hype," instantly sparking a new wave of public opinion.

As a result, a new "Chen Xiaoxiao Defense War" immediately broke out in Chen Xiaoxiao's fan group, with fans spontaneously organizing themselves and engaging in fierce verbal battles with the opposing fans.

Anyone who dares to directly target Chen Xiaoxiao in the entertainment industry is certainly not an unknown figure; they must have substantial financial backing and a strong team behind them.

The opposing team also has a large fan base, and their fighting power is in no way inferior to Chen Xiaoxiao's fan group.

Because the competitor's surname was Tang, this online war of words, which spanned multiple social media platforms, was jokingly referred to by onlookers as the "Battle of Chentang Pass," and quickly became the focus of heated discussion across the internet.

The final outcome of the "Battle of Chentang Pass" will not be discussed for now, and at this moment, it was time for Yu Chenzhou to get off work.

Based on past experience, leaving get off work on time almost always leads to some unexpected problems.

To avoid this "something bad will happen if you leave work on time" curse,

Yu Chenzhou made a special call to Xiao Yilin, and then opened the game in his office and played a ranked match for half an hour in peace.

I waited until the rush hour was over before turning off the game, packing my things, and preparing to leave the hospital.

Unfortunately, while his protagonist aura bestowed upon him the good fortune of a chosen one, it also brought him a "trouble-attracting constitution."

Especially when the previous problem has not been completely resolved, related problems are bound to come uninvited.

As soon as Yu Chenzhou stepped out of the hospital's office building, he was caught red-handed by a figure walking towards him.

"Xiao Yu, just got off work? Perfect timing, I have something I'd like to talk to you about."

The speaker was Deputy Director Zhang from the Health Commission. He had a perfectly warm smile on his face and walked briskly to Yu Chenzhou, stopping in front of him.

"Director Zhang? What are you doing here?"

As Yu Chenzhou greeted him, forcing a warm smile, he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "I'm speechless."

"How could I possibly run into someone like this? Is this guy deliberately waiting for me here?!"

It's obvious without even thinking that his sudden contact with me at this time is definitely not for anything good.

"I just happened to be passing by your hospital on some business, and I remembered that there was something about work that I needed to discuss with you, so I came over to wait for you."

Deputy Director Zhang reached out and patted Yu Chenzhou on the shoulder, his tone warm but somewhat deliberate, with a hint of probing in his eyes.

"I've already arranged the place. It's at the Shengjing Hotel right across the street, not far from here, just a short walk away."

Yu Chenzhou instantly understood, thinking to himself:

"As expected, his real intention was not what he seemed. After going through all this trouble, he just wanted to get me to talk outside."

"Director Zhang, since this is a work-related matter, why don't we talk about it in the hospital's conference room?"

It's convenient and doesn't cause any delays.

Yu Chenzhou maintained a polite smile and declined gently.

"Well, this is a special case. It's supposed to be a work-related matter, but it's also mixed with some personal matters. It's not appropriate to talk about it in the hospital. If it gets out, it could easily lead to misunderstandings. Let's find another place to have a proper chat."

Don't worry, it's just a few words, it won't take you long.

And at this hour, you probably haven't eaten yet, right?

"Give me the honor, let's have a simple meal together and talk over there, how about it?"

Now that things have come to this point, if Yu Chenzhou were to refuse again, it would seem like he was disrespecting Deputy Director Zhang, and it wouldn't sound good if word got out.

Left with no other choice, he had to suppress his reluctance and nod in agreement.

As we followed Deputy Director Zhang into the private room at Shengjing Hotel, a faint aroma of tea wafted over us. The room was elegantly and grandly decorated, and several exquisite cold dishes had already been laid out on the mahogany round table, clearly indicating that they had been carefully prepared.

Three middle-aged men were sitting around the mahogany round table. Upon seeing Yu Chenzhou and Deputy Director Zhang enter, one of them, dressed in a suit and exuding a capable air, immediately stood up, a perfectly measured, gentle smile on his face, and quickly stepped forward, saying:

"Dr. Yu, hello, hello! I've long admired your name, and it's great to meet you today. You truly live up to your reputation! Please have a seat here, please have a seat."

Seeing the other party's overly eager manner, Yu Chenzhou stopped in his tracks. Instead of immediately stepping forward, he stood directly at the door of the private room, calmly scanning the three people approaching, and said neither servilely nor arrogantly:

"You all know who I am, but I don't know who you all are."

After all, these days it's best to be cautious at dinner parties with strangers; it's not appropriate to just sit down without permission.

"Haha, look at my memory! It was so rude of me; I forgot to introduce myself!"

The man quickly smiled and smoothed things over, giving an expression that said, "It was my oversight," before taking the initiative to introduce himself:

"As an apology, I will punish myself with three drinks later. Please forgive me, Dr. Yu."

The man bowed slightly, adopting a very humble posture, and then began his formal introduction:

"Dr. Yu, I am Zhou Zhi, the director of the legal department of Xingyao Live Streaming Platform. We invited you here today specifically to apologize and resolve the issue."

The tall, thin man behind him, wearing glasses, nodded in acknowledgment and said respectfully:

"Hello Dr. Yu, I am Gao Hong, the legal counsel for T-site."

Finally, the slightly overweight man with a protruding belly also quickly stood up and said in a deliberately polite tone:

"Hello Dr. Yu, I am Ji Heng, the legal director of the Flash Video platform. I have long admired your name."

The three people introduced themselves and their respective platforms one by one, and Yu Chenzhou instantly understood:

So this means they've gathered the legal representatives from all the platforms they've sued. Clearly, Deputy Director Zhang came here at the request of these platforms to act as a peacemaker and persuade them to withdraw their lawsuits.

He knew what was going on, but he remained outwardly calm. He didn't exchange many pleasantries with the three of them, but simply nodded slightly as a greeting, maintaining a distant yet polite attitude.

Seeing this, Deputy Director Zhang quickly stepped in to smooth things over. He took the lead, sat down at the table, and then greeted Yu Chenzhou with a smile:

"Xiao Yu, don't stand, sit down. We're all here to solve problems, no need to be so formal."

Yu Chenzhou thought, "Since we're already here, we can't leave empty-handed. Let's see what tricks they're up to."

Feigning some hesitation and difficulty, she frowned slightly, but finally sat down in the empty seat next to Deputy Director Zhang.

Seeing that Yu Chenzhou was willing to stay, Zhou Zhi's smile became even more genuine, and he immediately turned to the waiter guarding the door of the private room and instructed him, "You can serve the food now."

He then personally stood up, picked up a beautifully packaged bottle of baijiu from the table, walked over to Yu Chenzhou, and said with a smile:

"Dr. Yu, this is a rare vintage wine that we specially prepared. We usually can't bear to drink it, but we brought it out to treat you today. Would you like to try it?"

As he spoke, he picked up the empty wine glass on the table, preparing to pour wine for Yu Chenzhou.

Yu Chenzhou gently raised his hand to stop him, his tone calm yet unwavering:

"Attorney Zhou, there's no need to trouble yourself. I don't drink, thank you."

Zhou Zhi's hand, which was pouring wine, paused in mid-air. His smile froze for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure, put down the bottle, and smoothed things over, saying:

"Whether you drink or not, drinking is bad for your health."

"Then let's have some tea. This is top-quality pre-Qingming Longjing tea; please try it."

As he spoke, he picked up the teapot on the table and carefully poured Yu Chenzhou a cup of steaming tea.

Gao Hong and Ji Heng chimed in, their conversation circling back and forth, sometimes discussing how demanding the work at the hospital was, and other times talking about the latest medical policies.

Throughout the entire meeting, they didn't mention the lawsuit at all, clearly trying to stall for time and ease the tension before discussing serious matters once the meal began and the atmosphere became more comfortable.

The three of them frequently raised their teacups to offer tea to Yu Chenzhou, their attitude being almost excessively attentive, their eyes full of deliberate flattery.

Seeing that the three of them kept avoiding the main point and refused to get to the heart of the matter, Yu Chenzhou gently tapped the table with the fingertips of his teacup, making a crisp sound.

When Ji Heng brought up health and wellness again, he finally looked up, his gaze calmly sweeping over the four people present. His tone was direct and to the point:

"Director Zhang, Attorney Zhou, Attorney Gao, Attorney Ji, forgive me for speaking frankly, but I have things to do tonight and don't have much time to chat and make small talk with you all here."

"Please just say what's wrong. If it's nothing urgent, I'll head home now; my girlfriend is waiting for me at home for dinner."

Upon hearing this, the previously lively atmosphere in the private room instantly cooled down, and the air seemed to freeze for a moment.

Deputy Director Zhang's smile froze for a moment, and he quickly put down his teacup, trying to smooth things over:

"Xiao Yu, don't worry, don't worry, the dishes haven't been served yet."

"Haste makes waste. Let's have some tea first, and talk while we eat."
