Chapter 604: Chapter 595: Shen Yi: Cutting You a Deal
When it comes to the current situation, divorce should be carefully considered.
In ordinary cases, how could parents encourage their children to divorce? But this involves physical violence, which is a fundamental issue. Fortunately, the child is still young, and if a few more months go by, getting a divorce would become a bigger problem because of the child.
Usually, if itâs just a quarrel between the couple, it wouldnât reach this point. But Zhang Chaoâs attitude was indeed unexpected for the old couple.
Thinking about their daughter spending her life with a man like this, honestly, which parents wouldnât be worried?
No matter how good your family circumstances are, itâs not an excuse for violence. Fortunately, the in-laws are reasonable and have a good attitude, otherwise, the old couple wouldnât have given their daughter the right to decide and would have been shouting for them to get a divorce long ago.
For Ning Tong, she is naturally very angry now, and the thought of divorce keeps popping up uncontrollably. But she knows that this is her choice, and once divorced, it would be too difficult to find another spouse with such conditions.
For a woman who knows what she wants, her ability to analyze pros and cons wonât be bad. She clearly knows where her advantages lie.
Itâs based on this thought that she says she needs to consider it.
In fact, saying she will consider it means sheâs observing Zhang Chaoâs attitude. If Zhang Chao insists on this position, not admitting fault or apologizing, then thereâs naturally no possibility of reconciliation, as Ning Tong feels she has not wronged him.
The next day, Jiang City was covered in heavy snow, a silvery white world, with snow reaching the ankles. Snow plows were constantly deployed to clear the snow, causing inconvenience to commuters.
In todayâs society, as long as itâs not due to force majeure, almost everyone has to go to work. A little rain or snow doesnât really count as anything.
Since he updated the video yesterday, rumors about him being married with children began circulating online, with some major bloggers even analyzing it.
Even entertainment news got involved, which was unexpected since he was neither a star nor an idol, yet he managed to appear in entertainment gossip.
Some netizens even dug up photos and videos of him taking photos at Jiang Cityâs ancient city in South City yesterday.
Although Su Qing didnât show his face in his own video, the little girlâs outfit led netizens to find what they called clues and used this as a breakthrough, naturally leading to some leads.
While some tourists on site took photos and videos yesterday, they inadvertently captured Wen Nanqing as well.
Although the touristsâ photos werenât very clear, they could see Wen Nanqingâs outstanding appearance, crucially, she also had a cute daughter.
For a while, the rumor of a famous multimillion-level internet celebrity [Qing Huang Bu Jie] suspected of having a hidden marriage and child reached the top of the hot topics list.
The headline news included outrageous titles: On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, the famous internet celebrity [Qing Huang Bu Jie] was suspected of taking a family photo with his wife and daughter in Jiang Cityâs ancient city, displaying a loving couple image, envied by many, and countless other titles abound.
Upon hearing this news, Su Qing was furious, thinking, "Iâm not even a traffic artist, what do you mean hidden marriage and childbirth? Is that a term even applicable to me?"
"When did I ever admit to being single? When did I ever hide my marriage? Is the entertainment circle so devoid of news lately? Are the stars not cheating anymore? Why pick on me?"
At this moment, Su Qing was utterly confused.
Early in the morning, he was awoken by a flood of calls and WeChat messages from Wang Xing, Li Zijun, Du Qiang, the social mafia, big strong skinny dog, old Wang, and others asking about his situation.
How would he know what was happening? He was completely overwhelmed, wasnât this just bullying an honest person?
"Brother, mom asked me to check whatâs going on!"
At nine in the morning, Su Qing was sitting on the sofa, answering a call from his sister with a helpless expression.
"Donât tell me mom also thinks this is real?" Su Qing rolled his eyes and asked.
In response, Su He chuckled, "Not at all, mom has a lot of faith in you and sister-in-law, she just asked me to check in on you. By the way, little Yun is too cute, momâs been holding onto her phone watching all morning. She even said if you could have such a beautiful daughter for her to dote on, sheâd be willing to live ten years less, just make it to eighty."
đŻđ»đźđđŹđźđđđ€đđđĄ.đđđ¶
Su Qing: ...
Well, I must say, she really is his rebellious old mom, willing to live ten years less but still wants to live to eighty. Tsk, tsk, tsk, I have to say, being carefree truly can make a person live longer. At least his mom, Zhou Hui, believes she can live to ninety.
As for Su Qing, he couldnât even be sure if he could live to eighty.
Yet she was so certain.
"You tell mom to live well, to make it to ninety, Iâll try to die earlier, before she does!" Su Qing replied.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard his momâs angry shout on the other end of the line:
"To hell with you, itâs the New Year, donât force me to come over and slap you. This year, either you let me hear that Xiaoyi is pregnant, or you bring back the little girl from your video and let me cherish her."
"Uh... You shouldâve said so earlier, just wait, Iâll borrow the child from Sister Wen in a bit, donât worry, your son has this much face at least."
Zhou Hui: "Hey! You little brat, you come back here and see if I donât show off..."
Beep beep beep
He wasnât joking; he was no longer a child who could allow himself to be scolded without retorting. At least hanging up was always an option.
Meanwhile, Shen Yi was on a call with Tang Nan in the capital.
"Hahaha, serves you right for not coming back. Sister Wen swooped in, didnât she? Well deserved, just look at you being arrogant, almost dying of laughter at this!" In President Tangâs office, Tang Nan was tapping the table, laughing heartily, with a tablet set up for a video call with Shen Yi on it.
The company had already resumed work on the eighth day, and since Shen Yi hadnât come back, Tang Nan, who was running the company, had naturally been back at work early.
Every year, Shen Yi was responsible for this kind of thing, but this time it was Tang Nanâs turn, and she was full of grievances. This was finally a chance to vent, making her feel completely refreshed.
In response, Shen Yi in the video couldnât help but roll her eyes, "Pft! Youâre the one losing your home. Do you believe Iâll dock your pay?"
"Go ahead, dock it. As long as itâs worth watching you suffer, no matter how much you dock, Iâll think itâs worth it. A legitimate girlfriend doesnât even get this kind of treatment, yet your man is reported by the media to be married to another woman, with such a big daughter. Tsk tsk tsk, youâre amazing!" Tang Nan taunted as much as possible.
Mainly, it was just too amusing; in all her life, she had never encountered anything like it.
Whatâs a scandal in the entertainment industry? Most are deliberately arranged by the parties involved to increase their popularity. Thereâs nothing quite like a real piece of juicy gossip like this, involving someone so close.
"You..." Shen Yi, momentarily speechless with anger, found the situation both laughable and exasperating. She just didnât understand why it had come to this. She immediately asked, "Hey, what do you think? Heâs not even a star or an artist; how did he end up in entertainment gossip? Does your entertainment circle really have nothing to report lately? Or have the people in your industry suddenly turned over a new leaf?"
Hearing this, Tang Nan, after rubbing her belly to calm down from laughing too hard, explained, "You really underestimated Xiao Suâs popularity. Heâs now a multimillion-level internet celebrity, and his popularity is extraordinarily high, and heâs associated with the entertainment circle. Let me put it this way: his current popularity outstrips most ordinary stars. News media follows the flow of trafficâwhoever is the most popular gets covered. Whatâs so strange about that?"
Indeed, everything Tang Nan said was accurate.
If ordinary multimillion-level internet celebrities lag behind stars in terms of popularity, Su Qing was an exception. His influence had soared to new heights with the release of "Wandering Earth," incomparable to ordinary million-level celebrities.
Everyone knows heâs wealthy, throwing down eighty million without blinking. And with the movie being a smash hit, he was raking in money, on top of being good-looking, young, and a bona fide first-generation rich kid. Who wouldnât be dazzled?
Moreover, he was involved in enough fields, so the attention was massive, which explained this situation.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yi nodded, truly not having considered this.
"I see. But going on like this isnât a solution. What do you usually do in your industry when things like this happen?" Shen Yi asked.
For this, Tang Nan flicked her hair back, "If itâs unintended, a clarification is usually issued quickly. But with Xiao Suâs case, this method wouldnât work. We canât expect Sister Wen to come out and clear things up; she has her pride, doesnât she?
If it were deliberate, of course they wouldnât say anything, letting the public opinion ferment to gain more popularity for themselves.
Now it seems thereâs only one way to resolve Sister Wen and Xiao Suâs situation."
"Whatâs that?" Shen Yi asked.
"Buy a trending topic!"
"Buy a trending topic?"
"Yeah, once the heat from other events rises, itâll naturally suppress their situation. A common tactic in the entertainment circle. If you need some internet bots, I can assist you. Donât worry, I have the connections."
Shen Yi:...
"Better save those for yourself. Internet bots? Do I look like the type? Though buying a trending topic doesnât sound bad. Let me think, what kind of trending topic should I buy... Ah, I remember there was some news suggesting you and he seemed to be a couple, but it didnât gain traction, right? How about I pay to push that news up? Not only would it resolve Sister Wenâs issue, but itâll also give you a popularity boostâkilling two birds with one stone. Youâll benefit!"
Tang Nan: (âŻâ”âĄâČ)âŻïž”â»ââ»
"The hell with you, I warn you, donât mess with me!"
