1529 It’s Not an Accident This Time
The manager brought him a glass of water and helped him up to drink it. He then looked at him helplessly. “How else can it be?”
Jiang Li took a sip of water. Everything that went down his throat tasted like rust.
“It’s about to blow up outside.” Seeing that he could drink water, the manager was slightly relieved. He pretended to be relaxed and said, “You have 20 endorsements. You still have seven or eight advertisements to shoot. The variety show schedule and the music award ceremony… Anyway, we have to pay a lot of compensation for the breach of contracts this time. Fortunately, the company is supportive. As soon as they heard the news, they immediately spent money on public relations to suppress the news of your injury. Otherwise, who knows what kind of commotion it would have caused outside.”
Jiang Li relaxed slightly when he heard that the news of his injury had been suppressed.
The manager fed him water and adjusted the bed so that his injuries would not be aggravated.
Only then did he continue, “The news of you being injured has been suppressed for the time being, but someone heard that you were absent from work halfway through filming an advertisement and hyped up the news of you acting like a big shot on the Internet. Your popularity is high, and you can be on the trending searches at any time. So, the topic of you acting like a big shot is now on the trending searches. The company is having a meeting to discuss whether to announce that you’re hospitalized…”
“Don’t announce it.” Jiang Li tried to get up without thinking.
“What are you doing!”
The manager quickly told him to lie back down. As he did so, he said reproachfully, “I’m just telling you. Don’t get agitated. Aren’t I still here? If I don’t agree, the company definitely won’t make a statement.”
“Mm.” Jiang Li had forced himself to sit up just now, and his injuries hurt again. He frowned and looked at his manager with his thick eyebrows and big eyes. His attitude was tough and stubborn. “Don’t tell the public that I’m hospitalized, and don’t spread the news of my injury.”
He thought for a moment and instructed his manager, “Brother Yang, try your best to bring down the trending searches’ popularity. In short, I don’t care what price I have to pay. I don’t want to see myself on the news. I’m afraid that Nian Nian will be worried when she sees the news…”
The manager rolled his eyes angrily when he heard that. “I knew that Miss Qiao was the reason you don’t want the public to know!”
Jiang Li did not argue.
“Don’t worry, I’ll tell the company.” The manager tucked him in and looked at him angrily. “Anyway, you have money. You’re just playing around in the entertainment industry. It’s a pity that the top celebrity I finally managed to bring out is you. I’m always the most anxious when something happens!”
Jiang Li was a top celebrity.
His fan club, Li Hua, was famous for its astonishing combat power in the fan circle.
If the news of Jiang Li’s hospitalization spread, it would definitely dominate the trending searches. The entire Weibo might explode.
However, if Jiang Li forcefully suppressed the trending topic and did not show his face for three months, all his work would be canceled. Later, haters would definitely spread rumors online that he was unprofessional and that he was acting like a big shot… In short, they would gather the masses to make their point!
The masses were a double-edged sword.
Jiang Li seemed a little tired. He closed his eyes, unwilling to speak again.
The manager’s anger subsided when he saw that his lips were still pale and weak. He said to the sickly person in the bed, “By the way, the staff member in charge of the cable cord ran away.”
Jiang Li finally opened his eyes and looked at him. His fingers were curled up. He frowned and his voice was dry. “He ran away?”
