My whole family is involved in diplomacy, so you dare to flex your muscles?

"What did you say?!"

Upon hearing Gu Yun's words, Counselor Jin jumped up from the sofa like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

He pointed at Gu Yun, his fingers trembling violently from excessive excitement, and he uttered "you you you" sounds. For a moment, he was so angry that he couldn't utter a complete sentence.

Shoe print?

He even dared to mention the shoe print!

This isn't just rubbing salt into a wound; it's tearing the wound open, pouring salt in, and then rubbing it hard with your feet!

How arrogant! How presumptuous!

In the conference room, the faces of the Japanese representative, Counselor Watanabe, and the head of the delegation were extremely grim.

Although they are at odds with South Korea, at this moment, facing their common "enemy" Gu Yun, they are on the same side.

Gu Yun's words were not only an insult to Counselor Jin, but also a slap in the face to all of them.

Gu Yun, however, seemed completely oblivious to their murderous expressions. He pulled out a chair, sat down casually opposite them, and even crossed his legs leisurely.

"What? Did I say something wrong?" He shrugged, his face displaying an innocent and harmless expression, but his eyes were full of mockery.

"Didn't you all tell me to apologize and visit him? Isn't this precisely how I express my 'sincerity'?"

We should at least check on his injuries, right?

For example, how well was the injury on my face treated? Will it leave a scar? How will I be able to make a living with my face in the future, right?

His nonchalant yet self-righteous demeanor made everyone present feel their blood pressure soaring.

"That's enough!"

Henry, the UN observer sitting in the main seat, finally lost his temper.

He slammed his hand on the table, making a loud thud, trying to intimidate the lawless young man with his imposing presence and status.

"Mr. Gu Yun! Please watch your words and attitude!" Henry stared at Gu Yun with a serious expression, his azure eyes filled with anger.

"This is the production crew's office, not a place for you to run wild!"

Henry was a typical Western elite; in his view, order and rules were paramount.

Gu Yun's actions today have completely trampled on everything he believed in.

"Your actions in three consecutive debates have resulted in three contestants withdrawing from the competition, two of whom are still in the hospital. Your behavior has seriously violated the principles of 'peace, friendship, and rationality' of our program!"

Do you realize the enormous international public opinion impact your actions have caused?!

Henry's voice grew louder and louder as he tried to intimidate Gu Yun by using the weighty issue of "international public opinion."

However, Gu Yun simply listened quietly, her smile remaining unchanged.

After Henry finished speaking, he slowly opened his mouth, his tone as calm as if he were discussing the weather.

"Impact? Mr. Henry, aren't you mistaken?"

Gu Yun leaned forward slightly, looked into Henry's eyes, and said, word by word, "I am the influence."

Henry was stunned; he clearly didn't understand what Gu Yun meant.

Gu Yun smiled and continued, "Why do you think this show's ratings broke one billion?"

Is it because your process was well-designed? Or because Mr. Mark is a skilled presenter?

No, none of those are true.

"It's because of me."

Gu Yun's tone remained calm, but the content of his words was filled with undeniable domineering power.

"It's because of me that this so-called 'debate,' which was originally incredibly boring and full of hypocritical politeness,..."

It turned into a real, bloodless war that could thrill audiences worldwide.

"You're talking to me about impact? What you call 'negative impact' is, in Director Frank's eyes, just a string of ever-rising ratings!"

He pointed to Frank, the director who was already sweating profusely beside him, and said, "If you don't believe me, you can ask him. Does he want me to shut up, or does he want me to speak louder?"

Director Frank felt like he was about to cry; he just wanted to disappear into the ground.

This Gu Yun is simply a devil. He not only ruthlessly attacks his opponents, but he also doesn't spare his own people, putting them on the hot seat.

"So, Mr. Henry, put away your high-sounding rhetoric." Gu Yun's gaze returned to Henry, his eyes gradually turning cold.

"You called me here not really to discuss any 'principles' or 'impact'."

You just want me to give in, to apologize, so that you can give certain people a way out, right?

"In that case, let's talk about something practical."

Gu Yun straightened up, removed his crossed legs, and his entire aura instantly changed.

"You want me to apologize? Fine."

Upon hearing this, Counselor Kim and Counselor Watanabe's eyes lit up, thinking that he was finally going to back down.

"But..." Gu Yun changed the subject, "Before I apologize, contestant Park Dae-chang must first apologize for his blatant theft of another country's culture on stage."

And they should issue a public apology to me and to China for their personal attacks against me.

"And Yamamoto, he must also publicly apologize for his remarks that glorify the history of aggression and hurt the feelings of the Chinese people."

"I'll only consider my problem when they apologize."

"What?!" Counselor Kim and Counselor Watanabe jumped up at the same time.

Are you kidding me?

Make them apologize first? Is this kid crazy?

"Impossible!" Consul Kim roared. "It was clearly your people who started the fight! Why should we apologize first?!"

"Oh?" Gu Yun raised an eyebrow. "You mean, you're allowed to bite people, but we're not allowed to hit the dog?"

"You! Who are you calling a dog?!"

"Whoever responds, I'll curse them," Gu Yun said calmly.

"Alright! Stop arguing!" Henry felt like his head was about to explode.

He discovered that it was impossible to reason with Gu Yun.

This young man has a unique logic, and he always manages to pinpoint your weaknesses, elevating every issue to a level you can't refute.

He took a deep breath and decided to change his strategy.

"Mr. Gu Yun, let's not talk about who's right or wrong. Let's only talk about the result," Henry said in a deep voice.

"The current result is that the delegations from Japan and South Korea have officially requested to withdraw from the competition."

If you two cannot reach a settlement, then this program may have to come to an end.

He was threatening Gu Yun with the program's cancellation. In his view, Gu Yun, as the representative of China, certainly wouldn't want to see this outcome.

However, Gu Yun's reaction once again exceeded everyone's expectations.

After hearing Henry's words, he smiled broadly and then slapped his thigh.

"Stop broadcasting? That's great!"

He stood up, stretched, and said in a relieved tone, "To be honest, I also feel quite tired."

Perfect timing, they withdrew from the competition, so I withdrew too.

We can all part ways amicably. I'll go back to my country on vacation, and you won't have to worry about the ratings anymore. Isn't that a win-win situation?

After saying that, he actually turned around and made a move to walk out.

Everyone was stunned.
