Chapter 147: Chapter 148: I Can Handle It
"Director, it must have been Xiaomei at the front desk who told him!" Director Liu’s nose was practically crooked with anger, and he was about to march over and give Xiaomei a piece of his mind.
Xiaomei’s face paled.
"I was the one who asked Xiaomei to do this..." Li Yang quickly explained. "This is about Director Song’s problem. I want to solve this problem for Director Song, and I can solve it."
"What a joke!" Director Liu said irritably. "Our station has been working on this for ages and couldn’t get it done. You think you can?"
Li Yang nodded and said, "I can get it done!"
"Get out, get out..." Director Liu started shooing him away.
"Director Song, I really can handle this. Let me ask you something: have you met with Miss Liu Le Mei?" Li Yang asked.
Director Song was taken aback. "No."
"And do you know why you haven’t been able to see her?" Li Yang asked again.
Director Song was even more surprised. "I don’t know why, either. I’ve only met with her agent. I’ve requested several times that we all talk together, but Miss Liu won’t make an appearance. I have no idea why."
"I know why!" Li Yang said seriously.
"Like hell you do!" Director Liu was fuming. "Are you leaving or not? If you don’t go now, I’m calling security!"
Li Yang was starting to get angry too. He turned to Director Liu and asked, "You just said you were going to talk to Miss Liu. Let me ask you, how are you going to do that?"
Director Liu faltered. "I... I’ll just go and talk with sincerity."
"Sincerity?" Li Yang laughed. "Is your sincerity greater than Director Song’s? Director Song has tried to talk with them several times and failed. She can’t even get a meeting. Do you think you have more clout than the Director? That you’ll be able to see her?"
Director Liu’s face alternated between pale and flushed. "In any case, I have more clout than a little hick like you!"
"Director Song, if I’m not mistaken, Miss Liu probably isn’t able to see anyone right now," Li Yang said seriously. "I just did a search for news about her online. I found that Miss Liu was originally supposed to be shooting a show, but coincidentally, I found a local news story that’s related to her..."
As he spoke, Li Yang pulled out his phone and opened a news article.
"’Beehive inexplicably discovered in residential complex...’" Director Song frowned. "’Many residents stung?’ What does this have to do with Miss Liu?"
"According to related information online, this Miss Liu lives in that very complex..." Li Yang said earnestly. "And she likely lives in the exact building where the hive was found. Think about it, Miss Liu should be on set right now. Why isn’t she? Why did she come back here instead? I found some forum posts that haven’t gotten much traction. Some people are saying Liu Le Mei might have offended someone. Others say she’s probably been disfigured... Of course, it’s hard to tell if someone’s trying to manage the online narrative, but my guess is this has something to do with the bee stings."
Director Song’s eyes lit up. "Are you saying she might have been stung and can’t be seen in public? And that’s why she suddenly returned to our city, and also... why she doesn’t dare meet me? Because she’s afraid people will find out?"
Li Yang nodded. "It’s highly likely."
Director Song clapped her hands together, looking at Li Yang in amazement. "I never would have thought... You actually managed to uncover something so important."
Director Song had been wondering for days why Liu Le Mei wouldn’t even agree to a single meeting. Now, after hearing Li Yang’s deduction, even without seeing any proof, she was already mostly convinced.
Director Liu was dumbfounded. "Director, he... he’s just talking nonsense."
Li Yang didn’t bother with him and continued, "My guess is that Miss Liu came back to our city for two reasons. One, to escape the spotlight so no one finds out she was stung. Two, to find a doctor. So the solution is actually very simple: we just have to solve her problem."
"Solve it? You make it sound so easy. If these bee stings are bad enough to be disfiguring, it’s obviously not a simple problem! Otherwise, she wouldn’t have had to come back here!" Director Liu had finally found an opening and started tearing into Li Yang.
"Director Liu!" Director Song, now getting angry herself, couldn’t help but cut him off.
Director Liu immediately fell silent.
Li Yang chuckled. ’Idiot. Still trying to throw your weight around with me.’
"Director Liu isn’t wrong. The medical resources where Miss Liu was are much better than what we have here, yet she came back. That proves this is a very difficult problem to solve."
"I’m a doctor!" Li Yang said seriously. "I’m the doctor in my village, and I can solve it."
"Haha... You can solve it!" Director Liu laughed with contempt. "A mere village doctor like you can solve it?"
This time, Director Song didn’t stop Director Liu, because she also thought it was impossible.
"I can!" Li Yang knew they were all skeptical, but he maintained a serious expression. "As long as I can solve the problem with her face, the subsequent interview negotiations should go much more smoothly. I don’t have any other demands. I just want a promise from Director Song. If I help you resolve this matter, can you give us a discount on the advertising fees?"
"Of course!" Director Song looked at Li Yang with some surprise. For some reason, she felt that this young man in front of her might actually have the skills to back up his words.
"Director Song, don’t listen to his nonsense..." Director Liu was completely unconvinced. "If he can actually pull this off, I’ll pay for his advertising fee myself."
"Alright, then it’s a deal!" Li Yang said immediately.
