Chapter 158 Relying on
The fat man's face was ashen, large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and his eyes were filled with fear and regret.
Originally, seeing that Bai Li was a stranger, he naturally assumed that she was an easy target.
I never imagined she had such a powerful backer; even Jiang Yanglin had to treat her with utmost respect.
The huge difference in his mood made him panic instantly, and he stammered, "I...I'm sorry."
Now he can only hope that Bai Li will be lenient and forgive his recklessness this time, and not pursue the matter any further, otherwise he really doesn't know what terrible consequences he will face.
The reason I was able to attend this banquet today is entirely because I had a good relationship with Lin Yu at school.
Thanks to this connection, my parents had this rare opportunity to come in for a social event, hoping to expand their network and elevate their family's status.
But who could have imagined that his momentary impulse would cause such a big problem?
The Lin family is very likely to sever ties with his family because of his behavior at the banquet, and his relationship with Lin Yu may also break down as a result.
The parents' careers will also be affected, and it is very likely that the business cooperation that was originally agreed upon will fall through because of Jiang Yanglin's relationship with the other party.
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. The thought that his mistake might bring utter disaster to his family made him instantly drenched in cold sweat. His clothes clung tightly to his back, and a chill spread from his heart to his entire body, causing him to shiver involuntarily.
The uncle snorted coldly, his voice authoritative: "You're so arrogant just because of your relationship with Lin Yu. Is this how your parents raised you? Where did you learn your manners?"
The fat man was stunned, his mouth slightly open, but he couldn't utter a single word and had no idea how to react.
He's a complete idiot to begin with, and his degree was obtained by someone else taking the exams for him. Now that he's in this situation, he has absolutely no idea how to deal with it.
Taking advantage of this moment, the uncle subtly glanced at Bai Li's reaction.
Bai Li's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile, and her eyes showed a hint of satisfaction.
Uncle felt relieved, knowing that he had made the right move.
He knew very well that someone of Bai Li's status would not want just a perfunctory apology; the key was the Lin family's attitude in handling the matter.
Bai Li had already quietly put away the badge, but her uncle dared not slack off in the slightest.
Back then, when the Lin family faced a major crisis and was on the verge of bankruptcy, it was the mysterious 30 million yuan in funding that allowed the Lin family to come back to life.
Thirty million is nothing by today's standards.
In that economic climate, someone who could come up with 30 million yuan in one go was no ordinary person.
Looking at Bai Li again, she looks young and doesn't seem to be the key figure who helped her back then. If so, it's very likely that her family elders had some connection with the Lin family back then.
This means that the family background behind Bai Li must be unfathomable.
My uncle was young at the time and did not participate in the core affairs of the family, so he was not very clear about what exactly happened back then.
But he understood that the fact that the Lin family was willing to donate 30 million when the Lin family was facing a life-or-death crisis meant that there must be a deep friendship between them, or that they had reached some kind of undisclosed deal.
Therefore, we must not antagonize this woman, and her background is definitely not simple. This dispute must not be handled in the conventional way.
If not handled properly, it could not only cause Bai Li to harbor resentment, but also bring unexpected trouble to the Lin family.
With this in mind, Uncle quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind, thinking about how to properly handle this matter so as to satisfy Bai Li while also protecting the face and interests of the Lin family.
He turned to the attendant waiting beside him, whispered a few instructions, and then "invited" Lin Yu and the other juniors out of the venue.
He left them with only one message: "Go back and reflect on your actions! Tell your parents to discipline you properly. If you dare to make this mistake again, don't even think about having a place in this industry!"
After dealing with these people, Uncle hurriedly turned around and apologized to Bai Li again. He carefully led her to see the old lady, and along the way he kept thinking about how to make up for this mistake so as not to cause a rift between the Lin family and the forces behind Bai Li.
Uncle thought to himself, Lin Yu was the most outrageous among the younger generation.
He is usually ignorant and incompetent, and only knows how to cause trouble everywhere by relying on his family's power.
Today's incident seems to be the result of a lack of discipline in daily life.
Thinking of this, I secretly decided that when I got back, I would have to teach him a lesson from the family rules of the ancestral hall, so that he would remember what rules are and what boundaries are.
--------------------------------------
As Bai Li was led into the inner courtyard by Jiang Yanglin's people and disappeared from sight, President Li's heart instantly exploded.
His eyes widened in shock.
Mr. Li had always had a feeling that Bai Li's background was anything but simple.
Can someone who can afford to buy an office building in Lujiazui, where land is incredibly expensive, be an ordinary person?
From that moment on, he became more wary of Bai Li.
Witnessing Jiang Yanglin's courteous treatment of her again confirmed his suspicions: Bai Li's background was simply unfathomable.
He secretly rejoiced that he hadn't fallen out with her back then and had made up for it early on. Even though he didn't approve of Bai Li's movie "Asking the Immortals," he didn't do anything offensive.
Otherwise, given the power Bai Li has shown so far, it's highly questionable whether Longtao Entertainment can escape unscathed; they might really end up in serious trouble.
The other entertainment industry executives were completely speechless at this moment.
They recalled how they had just spoken to Bai Li in the tone of an elder, calling her "Little Bai" and "young man" repeatedly, lecturing her while boasting about themselves, and they felt their faces burning with embarrassment.
Bai Li is so much more awesome than them.
They had always dreamed of entering the inner courtyard to personally congratulate the old lady. If they could gain her favor, they could secure more prime time slots, gain a significant advantage in the competition for market resources, and might even usher in a major turning point in their careers.
But they knew they weren't good enough.
As for Bai Li, she didn't even need to bring it up herself; Jiang Yanglin invited her into the inner courtyard with utmost respect.
The difference is like night and day.
Bai Li's true identity is a mystery.
Unable to contain their curiosity, the group bombarded Mr. Li with questions.
Mr. Li should know who he brought.
Mr. Li shook his head helplessly, his face full of a bitter smile.
His understanding of Bai Li was also very limited, and he couldn't explain it clearly.
