BXBX NOVEL Chapter 236 - 236: This Round Is Over, But There Is Another Round
He Xiang and Qi Cheng leaned closer and took a look…
Alec Huo Chaosheng replied to Lin Shanchu: [Me too. [Heart hands.jpg]]
“This…” He Xiang chose her words wisely before she asked, “Isn’t he a little too blatant?”
Qi Cheng’s lips twitched, as if he could not find the right words to say. In the end, he did not say anything.
Lin Shanchu took the phone back and sighed, “Huo Chaosheng and I have some tacit understanding.”
Back then, Huo Chaosheng called her immediately when she showed up on the trending search list because of the condemnation.
Therefore, she was certain that Huo Chaosheng was also paying attention to the situation on the Internet at this moment.
Furthermore, Huo Chaosheng had been dragged into this scandal.
Huo Chaosheng had not taken action because he was waiting for her to make a move.
Otherwise, Huo Chaosheng would not have replied to her so quickly.
Qi Cheng, who had been silent for a long time, finally blurted out, “Aren’t you guys afraid of being called an immoral couple?”
Lin Shanchu cast a deep glance at Qi Cheng without a trace of impurities in her clear eyes. They were so clear that Qi Cheng’s hair stood on end.
“I’ll call the company.” Qi Cheng picked up his phone and ran to the balcony to make a call.
He Xiang sat next to Lin Shanchu with her fingers swiping across the screen as she said happily, “No one scolded you two of being an immoral couple!” Lin Shanchu was speechless.
The interaction between Huo Chaosheng and Lin Shanchu pushed the popularity of this incident to the pinnacle.
Netizens who were watching the drama unfold began to mediate the dispute by favoring one side.
[They become friends because they like each other. Everyone, don’t you like your friends?]
[That’s right. It’s normal for friends to like each other.]
[Lin Shanchu has good taste.]
[Who doesn’t have friends of the opposite sex?]
[Lu Shiyuan also has a friend of the opposite sex. He’s so generous, so he must be able to understand Lin Shanchu.]
After the netizens were done mediating the dispute, they went to Lu Shiyuan’s Weibo page and sent emojis such as “green hat”, “green frog”, “green grass” and “green tree”.
Other than that, they did not comment a single word.
It was as if they had made an agreement.
Huo Chaosheng’s fans played fair. After Lin Shanchu replied that she liked Huo Chaosheng, they collectively went to help boosting Lin Shanchu’s popularity, directly make her to the number one spot on the celebrity list.
Lu Shiyuan’s public relations department did not expect things to develop to this extent.
Zhou Yan’s heart sank when he saw the string of emojis comprising green animals and plants on Lu Shiyuan’s Weibo page.
He did not know how he should report the situation to Lu Shiyuan.
Worried, he knocked on Lu Shiyuan’s office door. When he saw the mess inside, he heaved a sigh of relief.
It seemed that Lu Shiyuan already knew about what happened online.
There was no need for him to report the situation anymore.
Lu Shiyuan was standing in front of the window with his back facing him. Zhou Yan could neither see Lu Shiyuan’s expression nor guess his mood at this time. He also dared not disturb him and just waited quietly at the side.
After a long time, Lu Shiyuan finally turned around. His stern face was filled with gloominess.
“Tell the public relations department to stop and not care about this matter anymore.”
“Yes.”
Zhou Yan was somewhat puzzled deep down. Was Lu Shiyuan going to admit defeat?
Lu Shiyuan sneered, “This round is over, but there is another round.”
With the help of public opinion, Lin Shanchu took advantage of Huo Chaosheng’s popularity and their relationship and won the round.
In the next round, Lin Shanchu might not be so lucky.
Lu Shiyuan pulled back. After his failure in leading public opinion, the heated argument on the Internet gradually died down.
However, the discussions about the relationship between Lin Shanchu and Huo Chaosheng kept increasing.
Everyone had even forgotten that the entire incident started with Lu Shiyuan announcing his marriage to Lin Shanchu.
Lu Shiyuan, as Lin Chanchu’s fiancé, had a very weak presence in this love triangle.
Lin Shanchu was still the same.
During this period of time, Lin Shanchu’s popularity had been on the rise and countless brand owners had approached her for various activities and endorsements.
Nan Mu declined the luncheon at the last minute and waited for her at the company.
“My assistant has sorted out these people who specifically want to cooperate with you. These are the collaboration invitations from my old friends…” Nan Mu pushed stacks of documents toward Lin Shanchu.
Qi Cheng walked in from outside and placed a thick document in front of Lin Shanchu. “These are the ones I’ve screened…
Lin Shanchu tilted her head and said slowly, “There are so many of them…”
“There aren’t many of them.” Nan Mu emphasized, “These are the ones left after careful screening.”
He was implying that it would be best for her to accept all these jobs.
What a profiteer!
Qi Cheng was Lin Shanchu’s manager. Of course, he was not like Nan Mu who wanted Lin Shanchu to accept all the jobs. He was more concerned about his artist.
“I’ve already picked out the key projects. You can take on these jobs first, and then take your time to look at the rest.”
Qi Cheng only accepted endorsements and business events for Lin Shanchu.
After hearing those words, Lin Shanchu asked, “Did no one approach me for filming?”
Nan Mu quickly said, “Of course there is!”
He rummaged through the pile of documents for a long time before finally finding an invitation from a film crew. “The producer of ‘Top Feast’ is acquainted with me. He wanted to invite you for a new role has been suddenly created.”
Lin Shanchu’s eyes brightened. “‘Top Feast’?”
Qi Cheng was a little worried. “Is that the recently popular drama that was aired while the filming is in progress?”
“Yes, that’s the one.” Nan Mu asked Lin Shanchu, “Are you going to accept the invitation?”
“Of course.” Lin Shanchu smiled.
If Huo Chaosheng had not called her out to eat sashimi yesterday, she would have catched up to the latest episode of the drama long ago.
The first five episodes were already so cliché and addictive. She wanted to find out how the screenwriter would continue with the next dozens of episodes. Qi Cheng’s mouth twitched. “Do you know what drama is that?” “I know.” Lin Shanchu’s tone was filled with excitement.
“I’ll call the producer now.” Nan Mu was afraid that Lin Shanchu would regret it, so he took out his phone and called the producer of “Top Feast” to settle the matter.
Qi Cheng was speechless.
Qi Cheng let out a long sigh. “There’s an important gala tomorrow. I’ll pick out a gown later.”
Nan Mu waved his hand and said, “Okay, go do your work.”
After Lin Shanchu and the others left, Nan Mu was happy for a short while until his phone rang.
The word “Xunzhou” was displayed on the screen of his phone.
The smile on Nan Mu’s face instantly disappeared.
In the past two days, he was busy hiring Internet trolls to make Lu Shiyuan a cuckold. He had forgotten that Huo Xunzhou was coming back from his business trip.
He was panicking now.
How should he explain himself when Xunzhou returned later?
He dared not tell Huo Xunzhou directly that he had added fuel to the fire by shipping his woman and that jerk brother of his. Huo Xunzhou would probably kill him.
Forget it, he would just play dumb.
Finally, the phone quieted down.
Just as Nan Mu heaved a sigh of relief, his phone rang with a new message notification.
Nanmu tapped open the message and saw a message from Huo Xunzhou:
I—You can play dumb however you want. I’m on my way to the company to find you.]
Nan Mu was speechless..
