Chapter 237
The assistant was furious.
Brother Ji was a god in her eyes.
She was always by his side, and she couldn’t even bear to say a single harsh word to him, let alone scold him.
Now that she’d heard Brother Ji had been wronged, she wished she could just teleport in front of Chenyang and give him two hard slaps across the face.
Sister Rose, however, didn’t let her anger get the best of her like the assistant did.
Instead, she studied Lin Jiji for a moment before asking, "Rescue personnel, whether they’re doctors or government-dispatched, are almost all professionally trained. They have a basic code of conduct. They wouldn’t curse you out for no reason, and they certainly wouldn’t stand by and do nothing while you’re in danger."
"What’s that supposed to mean? Are you suggesting I’m wrongly accusing him?"
"That’s not what I’m thinking. I just want you to understand that a situation like this can be a big deal. These people are usually from a hospital or sent by the government, which means they have powerful state institutions backing them. If the facts aren’t what you claim they are, and we rashly go and condemn him, it would be a deliberate provocation. That’s not good for a public figure like you."
"Sister Rose, Brother Ji wouldn’t lie about something like this. You know his temperament. Unless he was truly being bullied, he wouldn’t easily mobilize his fans."
"Is that really so?"
Lin Jiji couldn’t quite meet Sister Rose’s gaze. After all, he had embellished his story.
But at the same time, Chenyang really had infuriated him.
And it was a fact that the man had ignored him, rescued Xiaoyue first, and said many awful things to him.
He wasn’t willing to just let it go.
He braced himself and feigned innocence. "It’s exactly like I said. That guy was completely out of line. He didn’t act like a public servant at all, let alone an ’angel in white.’"
Sister Rose mulled it over. "So, when you called for help, he didn’t respond right away? And he insulted you while you were pleading with him?"
"Yes! And what’s more, after I desperately pleaded with him, all he did was move the object pinning my leg. He didn’t treat me or help me get out afterward. I had to crawl out on my own."
Seeing that Lin Jiji didn’t appear to be lying, Sister Rose’s eyes narrowed. "If that’s the case, then this person really did go too far."
"’Go too far’ is an understatement. He was completely out of line. He needs to be taught a lesson, in person."
"Forget about doing it in person. A nobody like that isn’t worth dealing with ourselves. However... if what you’re saying is true, then this ’nobody’ might be able to do us a huge favor."
"What kind of favor?"
"No matter how well we handle this business with you and Xiaoyue, the paparazzi and the media will still go crazy with it. The resulting negative attention will ultimately be bad for you both. In a situation like this, it’s best to find another incident to push your story out of the spotlight."
Hearing this, Lin Jiji’s eyes lit up. "You mean... we blow up this story of me being mistreated to bury the news about me and Xiaoyue?"
"Exactly. The public profiles of civil servants and doctors are just as sensitive as yours. Once a story about one of them bullying you breaks, it’s guaranteed to cause a huge stir. When that happens, with a little maneuvering on our part, we can easily bury the buzz around your and Xiaoyue’s romance scandal.
"And while we’re distracting the public, we can also use the momentum to boost your influence and fame... Then, once things have developed to the right point, you’ll step forward and publicly forgive the rescuer. That way, your persona as a magnanimous and kind person will be even more solidified."
"Brilliant!" Lin Jiji’s eyes shone as he praised her lavishly. "Sister Rose, you’re a genius! You took such a trivial matter and spun it in a way that not only gets me over this romance scandal hurdle but also makes my fame explode and solidifies my persona. Having someone as amazing as you guiding me is the greatest honor of my life."
Sister Rose gave a faint smile. "If you really think I’m so great, then just listen to what I say and stop causing me trouble."
"Don’t worry. From now on, I’ll listen to whatever you say."
"Good. See if your fans have found any information on that rescue worker."
Lin Jiji took out his phone, scrolled through it for a moment, and immediately said, "They found him. The guy’s name is Chenyang! He’s an ER doctor at City Hospital!"
"A doctor?" Sister Rose scoffed. "A mere doctor dares to be that arrogant?"
"I know, right? The way he acted so arrogantly, I thought he was some big shot," Lin Jiji said, glancing at his phone again. "According to the info from the fans, it seems he just started working at City Hospital not long ago.
"They haven’t found any information on him from before that. It seems he wasn’t in Yang City. And get this—he doesn’t have a medical license!"
"Oh?" Sister Rose’s eyes brightened. "Practicing medicine without a license? That alone is enough to completely ruin his career.
"Jiji, get your fans to start creating a buzz right now. Once it has some traction, I’ll have the media get involved to blow the story up. Then, I’ll get some people to start suppressing the gossip about you and Xiaoyue."
