The rise of Korean entertainment.

Chapter 3481 Staying Out of the Matter

Xu Xian looked at Li Menglong's calm back. To be honest, she couldn't help feeling suspicious in her heart. Could it be that they really had made a mistake?

If Li Menglong is the mastermind behind this, then he is walking into a trap now.

Li Enxi and the others are definitely not as easy to talk to as the girls. At least in this matter, they will definitely take the toughest attitude.

  After all, Li Menglong was just looking for trouble. Did he think that they had taken the money but had not made any corresponding achievements? So he forced them to do something?

But no matter how Xu Xian guesses, the answer will eventually be revealed, so what role does Li Menglong play in this?

As the two people walked in, the originally serious atmosphere in the conference room was diluted a lot, and the smell of fried chicken instantly filled the air.

Xu Xian didn't need anyone's instructions at this moment, and immediately distributed the fried chicken to everyone. After all, everyone looked quite embarrassed.

  Not to mention the makeup and hair, there were more than one person wearing pajamas. Is it necessary to be so anxious? There is no time to change clothes?

This may be a bit of a conspiracy theory, but Xu Xian has to suspect that these people did it on purpose. As for who they are performing for, Xu Xian doesn't think she has such a great influence anyway.

But these are just insignificant details; the focus is still on the matter itself.

The group had already made preliminary communication on the road, and since even the girls could find out clearly, they naturally would not be completely ignorant.

So while eating the fried chicken, everyone kept looking at Li Menglong out of the corner of their eyes.

  On the one hand, he was waiting for this person to confess, and on the other hand, he was also thinking, was this intentional by Li Menglong? What exactly did he want to achieve?

Even though everyone was just stealing glances, Li Menglong would always be able to sense it when there were more people.

So is there something dirty on his face? He even asked Xu Xian to help him check it so that he wouldn't be too embarrassed.

After Li Menglong made this move, Xu Xian and Li Enxi probably had an idea in their minds, or at least could roughly guess what Li Menglong was thinking.

Most of the things were correct, and Li Menglong had indeed done them, but he obviously did not anticipate the seriousness of the matter, and even knew nothing about it until this moment.

Since even the girls received the news, someone should have come to verify Li Menglong's story. But perhaps because he was the source, he was able to spend this crucial period of time quietly in the center of the storm. He even had the mind to go to the kitchen to make himself fried chicken.

Now the two of them found it difficult to tell the truth to Li Menglong. They also had to consider whether this fact would have an impact on Li Menglong.

Don’t be fooled by Li Menglong’s strong appearance. It’s just that he hasn’t encountered anything that can break him down. But this matter now has the possibility of that happening.

Li Enxi and Xu Xian looked at each other. Their tacit understanding was not enough for them to convey information through their eyes, but they could probably make some gestures.

What Li Enxi revealed was very simple, which was to let Xu Xian take Li Menglong out and let her solve the problem independently.

This order just happened to be in line with Xu Xian's plan, so there was nothing else to say, so she just took Li Menglong and left.

But Li Menglong was very stubborn this time. He was not a fool. So many people had to rush back after get off work. It couldn't be that they just wanted to have a meal of fried chicken, right?

  Although he still doesn't know what happened, he has no choice but to do his part. Besides, does the company need to hide the news from him?

"We have been colleagues for such a long time, don't you know my character?" Li Menglong said to everyone sincerely: "Even if you cause the company to suffer losses, it is acceptable as long as you can learn a lesson!"

After hearing Li Menglong's soothing words, everyone didn't know what expression to show.

  It seemed like he was the one who made the mistake, so how could it be that they caused the company to suffer losses?

But what he said sounded quite sincere, and it was indeed something Li Menglong would do, so everyone reluctantly forgave him?

Fearing that Li Menglong would say something offensive again, Li Enxi simply brought the topic to the surface: "Hey, what did you do? Don't you know it?"

Li Menglong was confused by this. Why did they suddenly start targeting him? Wasn't it these people who made a mistake?

Oh, this must be their excuse to shirk responsibility and get along with each other.

It is indeed understandable. After all, the company has to find someone to take the blame, and Li Menglong is indeed one of the best candidates, as long as the punishment is limited.

  If they could explain it properly, Li Menglong wouldn't mind being the bad guy, but why did they suddenly become silent?

It’s as if Li Menglong should know something, but he really has no idea, so can someone come out and explain it?

There was no need to count on the people around him, so Li Menglong turned his attention to Xu Xian.

His original intention was to find a partner for himself in this environment, but now it seems that there is a traitor planted beside him.

"You actually know all the inside information? And you never told me?"

Li Menglong pointed at Xu Xian and complained silently. Although he was not sad, he did feel a little aggrieved. He was so good to Xu Xian that he even gave her the opportunity to send her fried chicken, but this is how the little girl treated him?

Regarding Li Menglong's behavior of forcing her to add more scenes, Xu Xian could only say that she had no desire to cooperate at all.

  Should she show some grievance at this moment? She let Li Menglong misunderstand her without saying a word, and finally waited for Li Menglong to kneel in front of her and apologize!

But Xu Xian didn't have such a bad taste. Considering that the misunderstanding was already quite complicated, she didn't want to make it more difficult, so she simply described what happened.

Throughout the entire narration, Li Menglong's expressions were quite interesting, from the initial disbelief, to the subsequent acceptance of reality, and now to the deathly pale look.

Li Menglong really didn't understand why things had developed to this point. He just took the initiative to send some messages to the girls to find some jobs. Where did these extreme associations come from?

It would be fine if the company was poorly managed and the girls were forced to pay back the money, but there are even reports that they secretly gave birth to children. Could this be a malicious smear campaign?

It has to be said that Li Menglong was still vigilant. If only Li Menglong's words had caused some rumors, Li Enxi and others would not have rushed here.

The current situation clearly shows that someone is stirring up trouble behind the scenes, or at the very least, exaggerating the situation in an attempt to establish something.

This is understandable. After all, as the company grows in size, more and more people dislike them.

The girls have a deep understanding of this, not because of what they did specifically, but simply because they were standing here.

Envy, jealousy, wanting to catch up, in short, for various reasons, this group of people don't mind adding a little firewood when necessary to make the fire burn more vigorously. Everyone gathered here at this moment not to denounce Li Menglong, to be precise, this is only one aspect, more is to discuss how to deal with this wave of public opinion.

At this time, no one cared about Li Menglong, except Xu Xian. After all, she was sitting next to Li Menglong and could not help much with the company's affairs, so it was natural for her to care about him.

From Xu Xian's perspective, the blow Li Menglong suffered was quite heavy, at least that's what he showed.

  This made Xu Xian a little worried. What should she do if Li Menglong was unable to recover from this?

Regardless of her own feelings, there was no way the girls would let her go.

Letting Xu Xian come along is of course to find out the real situation, but it does not necessarily mean that she has to protect Li Menglong. It can only be said that these do not need to be explained.

After all, if they had to choose between the company and Li Menglong, they would choose the latter without hesitation, even if Li Menglong was indeed the guilty one.

So Xu Xian patted Li Menglong's shoulder gently, intending to make him sober up a little.

But Li Menglong's reaction was a little too big. He actually jumped up from the chair and slammed his hands on the table. For a moment, everyone around looked over subconsciously.

At this time, Xu Xian had quietly moved her chair to the side, while looking at her palms. Was there some extra power contained in them?

"I've made up my mind. I will take the initiative to explain and apologize. I will never let my personal problems affect the entire company!"

  Li Menglong spoke with certainty, but everyone seemed unmoved?

At least he expressed some emotion and encouragement. Li Menglong did not shirk his responsibilities. Doesn't this deserve a compliment?

But the fact is that no one wants to hold him accountable, just like Li Menglong didn't think about holding everyone accountable before, and now everyone just wants to solve the problem.

As for what punishment Li Menglong will eventually receive, that is up to Li Enxi and the girls. They can just watch the fun.

Anyway, based on their understanding of these people, Li Menglong probably won't have an easy time in the next few days.

Seeing that Li Menglong was about to say something, Li Enxi was not the only one who winked at Xu Xian.

  Inexplicably, she became the center of attention. Xu Xian was a little uncomfortable for a while. Why were they all looking at her? Did they want her to take the responsibility?

For a moment, Xu Xian actually found some familiar feelings. After all, the girls had done such immoral things many times. Is it contagious now?

Fortunately, there are not many girls like this who have no bottom line. Everyone is just urging Xu Xian to take Li Menglong out now.

Anyway, everyone has eaten the fried chicken. Since Li Menglong is unable to think calmly and put forward reasonable suggestions, it is only right to ask him to leave so as not to waste everyone's time.

Time is extremely important in situations like this. If we can come up with a solution an hour earlier, we can reduce the impact by at least half. After all, the spread of information is exponential.

  This time Xu Xian finally understood everything, but is it true that everyone overestimated her a little?

Although Li Menglong usually respects her opinion, this is a special case.

  I just patted Li Menglong and he had such a big reaction. If I go up and try to pull him out, will he beat her up?

But being watched by so many people, and it was indeed Li Menglong's fault, Xu Xian really couldn't shirk it.

All she can say is that she owes Li Menglong, and now is the time to repay the debt.

  She sighed silently. If she hadn't been running out of time, she would have wanted to call home. What if there would be no chance in the future?

Mustering up the courage to approach Li Menglong again, Xu Xian asked softly: "Oppa, do you think you can come out with me first? The fried chicken on the table has been eaten up."

At such a critical moment, Xu Xian was able to come up with a reasonable reason. She even admired herself a little.

The key point is that Li Menglong actually nodded in agreement. Is he sure he is not just taking advantage of the situation? Is he just pretending to be confused?

Although she was full of doubts in her heart, Xu Xian was not stupid enough to ask him in person, but this guess was soon confirmed.

As soon as he arrived at the corridor, Li Menglong let go of Xu Xian's hand, and then kept patting his chest, looking scared.

This scene is quite rare, at least Xu Xian seldom sees it, so it looks quite strange.

But it is understandable. After all, Li Menglong really got into trouble this time, and he was blocked in the office by so many people. If he didn't have a suitable excuse, he would really feel embarrassed and nervous.

Even though Li Menglong had seen many big scenes, this time there was really no room for explanation, and he couldn't think of any follow-up measures. Finding an excuse to escape was already considered a clever move on his part.

But what to do next? The company will help deal with the turmoil outside, but what about the girls?

They were just fooled by Li Menglong's frank performance before, but now the truth is out, Li Menglong must give them an explanation.

After all, they have been in the industry for so many years and have never been involved in any rumors about having children. Is Li Menglong helping them to open up a new track?

  Even in the entire history of girl groups, this level of news is considered unique: a current girl group member gave birth to a child out of wedlock?

Anyway, Xu Xian didn’t know what to do at the moment. She really had the will but not the ability.

But don't say she is cold-blooded. If Li Menglong wants to choose to escape now, she can sponsor him with the money she has so that he won't end up on the streets.

"Thank you in advance, but why should I run away? The whole thing was an accident, and I am also a victim. Why are you targeting me?"

Li Menglong tried to give his answer, but it would be useless to ask Xu Xian such questions. Otherwise, why not go talk to the girls?

When the topic came up about confronting those women face to face, Li Menglong immediately became a lot more timid. It was not suitable for him to offend too many people at the same time. If he was given a little more time, things would definitely turn around!
