Hitting a Person Who Is Down

Zhao Hongling stared at the public announcement with a throbbing headache.

It took less than half an hour for the announcement to hit the top trending spot. The hashtags included 'Lin Yan's show', 'Lin Yan bought votes', and 'Lin Yan being disqualified'.

Lin Yan was once again flooded by criticism.

Zhao Hongling hung on to a last glimmer of hope as she tried to continue negotiating with an advertiser.

Lin Yan had been working very hard recently. Zhao Hongling had just managed to clinch a pet product advertisement for her, and they were about to sign the contract. Unfortunately, this had just happened. She was afraid now…

Zhao Hongling dialed a number. "Hello, Director Sun."

"Hi, Manager Zhao. What is the matter?"

"It's nothing urgent. I just wanted to ask about the exact date of the contract signing. Lin Yan's schedule is packed this month, so I wanted to plan ahead," Zhao Hongling said politely.
