Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 378 Let's just take advantage of the situation and hammer it out
Yesterday, Hu Jiangshan still felt that Chen Yifei’s scandal had nothing to do with him, and even had the mentality of just watching the fun.

But looking at the situation, it’s hard to say.

Those entertainment reporters are very powerful. A few days ago, someone dug out Hu Jiangshan's identity and found out that he is the son of the Hu family in Hong Kong Island. It was just a gossip tabloid, which doesn't have much impact in the mainland. But if they make a big fuss on that social media, it's hard to say whether there will be trouble.

At this time, Hu Jiangshan's cell phone rang.

【Caller ID: Yuan Caihua】

It was his mother calling. Hu Jiangshan suddenly had a bad feeling, but he still had to answer the call.

As soon as Hu Jiangshan pressed the answer button, Yuan Caihua's hurried voice came from the other end, and it was obvious that she was very excited.

"Ashan, where are you now?"

"Mom, I'm in a meeting in the mainland."

"…Ah? Meeting? Really? You're not lying to me, are you?"

Yuan Caihua's tone was strange, as if she had caught evidence of a child's mischief.

Hu Jiangshan was puzzled: "Oh my God, how can this be false? Mom, why are you asking this?"

"Hey, Ah Shan, if you don't want others to know, then don't do it. There is no such thing as an impenetrable wall in this world. Do you understand?"

"What's wrong? Mom, let me tell you first, I didn't get into any trouble."

"Ha! It's not a disaster, but it's not a disaster either. Ah Shan, have you been hooking up with a female celebrity recently?"

"…Ah? What? What female celebrity?"

Hu Jiangshan's mind was a little confused for a moment, but he soon realized that Yuan Caihua might have seen the news between Hu Jiangshan and Chen Yifei, so she called.

Yuan Caihua smiled and said, "Ashan, don't play dumb with me. It's all over the news now. You and a mainland female star named Chen Yifei are together. It's even in the tabloids. Someone told me about it. I didn't believe it at first, so I bought a copy and it was true. It was the front page headline."

Hu Jiangshan quickly explained: "Didn't you say it was a tabloid? It must be fake news, not true."

"Ashan, there's information about you two not only in the tabloids, but also on the Internet, saying that you two are secretly meeting in the mainland right now. Are you having a tryst with Chen Yifei?"

"Oh, that's a lie, Mom. It's not like what they said. Don't believe it!"

"What's the use of me believing it or not? Then let me ask you, do you know Chen Yifei?"

"Yes, I know him. The crew that Chen Yifei was working for borrowed our island for exterior shots.

"Oh, so you have worked together before, and you guys had a good chat?"

"Alright, not bad."

Yuan Caihua changed the subject and said, "How about this, you bring Chen Yifei here one day and introduce her to your family."

Hu Jiangshan was startled: "...Ah? Mom, what are you doing? Why are you taking her home?"

"Where have you two gotten to? Tell me now, and I'll give you some advice and make a complete strategy."

Hu Jiangshan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It turned out that what he just said was completely useless. His mother would still think what she wanted to think.

"Mom, do you really think I'm hooking up with Chen Yifei?"

"I don't think it's fake. I know your abilities. It won't be a problem for you to deal with Chen Yifei."

"Mom, you really think highly of me. By the way, aren't you the one who is most against me dating a female celebrity? What happened this time? You even asked me to bring her home. I was scared."

"Hey, if it was an 18th-tier actress, I really wouldn't agree, and your father would be even less happy about it. But Chen Yifei is different. She's a famous actress, and I checked her past resume. There's no scandal about her. She's a good girl."

Hu Jiangshan was speechless for a moment: "Just because of this? This shouldn't be the case, Mom, this is not like you."

Yuan Caihua said, "What do you mean she doesn't look like me? I'm very good at judging people. Chen Yifei is indeed a good girl. If you can really get along with her, that would be a good thing, right? Ah Shan, tell me the truth. How far have you two progressed? Have you done that? If there is a chance, bring her back and introduce her to the family. We won't call her an outsider."

"What? What's going on?"

"Just doing that together."

Hu Jiangshan said, "No, no, Mom, you think too much. We really are just acquaintances, nodding acquaintances, not that close."

"Really?"

"real."

"Oh, I thought you guys were really going to make it."

Judging from Yuan Caihua's tone, it's quite a pity and regrettable.

Yuan Caihua added: "I think that girl is really nice. Ah Shan, if you like her, stay with her and don't let anyone take her away."

Hu Jiangshan immediately said, "Mom, what do you mean by 'smooth'? Chen Yifei is not a jewel, stop talking nonsense."

"I'm just giving you some advice. He's already grown up, and we never had to worry about this before. Why is he so conservative now? I'm worried."

What Yuan Caihua said is true.

In the past, Hu Jiangshan really had no pressure in finding girls. He could change one every day. Some of them had been with him for a long time and even wanted to get married. Fortunately, they were stopped by Yuan Caihua and Hu Wenxin.

Those girls are really not of high quality.

"Mom, don't worry. If there's anything suitable, I'll definitely bring it back to you, okay?"

"Okay, okay, let's just hurry up."

OK. Mom, I have a meeting later. I'll hang up now.

After hanging up the phone, Hu Jiangshan smiled bitterly and shook his head.

It seems that the news about Hu Jiangshan and Chen Yifei's affair has spread in Hong Kong Island, at least in the circle. After all, Hong Kong Island is relatively small, and the circle of rich people is not that big. If someone has something wrong, everyone will know it in two days.

Good things don't go out, bad things pass thousands of miles.

Fortunately, Yuan Caihua seemed quite happy and not angry.

Come to think of it, the key is that Chen Yifei's status is not low. She is well-known as the "Fairy Sister" and is also very famous in Hong Kong Island. In addition, she has no scandals and lives a clean life, so it is not at all abrupt for her to marry into a wealthy family.

More importantly, the Hu family is not a top wealthy family in Hong Kong Island. If they marry a top mainland actress as their daughter-in-law, it will be very helpful in improving the family's status and reputation, or at least it will not do any harm.

Of course, Yuan Caihua was more concerned that Chen Yifei herself was indeed good, so she was very excited to hear the news and quickly called her son Hu Jiangshan to find out.

Hu Jiangshan was a little curious about what was going on with Chen Yifei. He encountered this sudden scandal, which was spread in a very formal way, with a name and even complete photos.

However, Hu Jiangshan certainly could not take the initiative to contact Chen Yifei, even though he had her letter and phone number.

If people knew that Hu Jiangshan had private contact with Chen Yifei, then the rumor would be completely confirmed, and it would be impossible to explain it clearly.

At the same time, Guangzhou-Shenzhen City, Marriott Hotel.

Chen Yifei sat on the soft sofa, looking listless, as if her soul had left her body. Chen Yifei had been shooting commercials these past two days, and was so busy that she hadn't gotten a good night's sleep.

Don't underestimate the job of shooting commercials. In fact, it may not be easy. Because the videos are relatively short, the requirements are also relatively high. If you are lucky, you can get it right in one go. If you are unlucky, you have to shoot many times, and sometimes it is even more tiring than shooting a movie.

The key is that the weather has been quite sunny these two days, and it is really uncomfortable to shoot outdoors.

Fortunately, it was finally completed yesterday, and Chen Yifei can finally have a good rest for a few days.

At this time, Zhang Xiaorou rushed over from another room.

"Yifei, Yifei, this is incredible! It's trending on the search list now!"

Chen Yifei was stunned, touched her forehead and said, "What are you talking about? I don't understand. What's the hot search?"

"You're on the trending search?"

"Me, why am I on the trending search?"

"Why else? Your story with Hu Jiangshan has been exposed online. Didn't I tell you about it yesterday?"

As she spoke, Zhang Xiaorou handed the phone to Chen Yifei, who looked down at the screen. It was the hot search page of a certain blog. Sure enough, the matter about Chen Yifei's rumored boyfriend was on the hot search.

It has now reached the third place on the hot search list, and at this momentum, it is expected to win the championship.

It’s not new for Chen Yifei to be on the hot search list. Although not as frequent as those popular stars, she has been on the list several times. However, this is the first time that a scandal about Chen Yifei has been on the list.

Yesterday, agent Ning Jie did mention this to Chen Yifei, saying that many entertainment media are making a fuss about her. They have caught some clues and are planning to hype it up online to make Chen Yifei's scandal a reality.

To be honest, Chen Yifei didn't take it seriously. Once she got into work mode, it was hard for her to take care of other things. She didn't expect it to become so hot the next day.

Zhang Xiaorou said beside her: "Yifei, you'll know if you click in. What these guys wrote is outrageous."

Chen Yifei clicked on it and saw the photos at a glance, including a close-up photo of Hu Jiangshan, which was taken very clearly.

Looking at the comment section, there is a wide variety of opinions.

Some were surprised, some did not believe it, and some made sarcastic remarks.

Of course, many people also focus on Hu Jiangshan, saying that he is handsome and a very handsome guy, and that he is worthy of a pure girl like Chen Yifei.

The writing was so explicit that Chen Yifei couldn't even look at it.

Zhang Xiaorou asked: "Yifei, what should we do?"

"What do you mean?"

"The scandal between you and Hu Jiangshan has become a big deal. Are you just going to watch it continue like this?"

Chen Yifei asked: "Even if it becomes a hot topic and everyone comes to comment, will it cause any harm to us?"

"This one……"

Zhang Xiaorou thought about it for a long time and realized that she really didn't expect any substantial damage.

Of course, Chen Yifei's reputation has certainly been damaged, but these unsubstantiated news are everywhere on the Internet, and they gradually disappeared. It is indeed not as serious as imagined.

Zhang Xiaorou said, "Yifei, but if you continue like this, it will be bad for your reputation. You will have a rumored boyfriend for no reason. Will you still be able to find a partner in the future?"

Chen Yifei waved her hand: "Why are you in such a hurry to find a partner? Let's talk about it when there's a chance."

Just then, the door opened and Li Shuning walked into the suite.

As mentioned earlier, Li Shuning is Chen Yifei's agent. She can be said to be a real-life strong woman with extraordinary abilities.

All the actors and artists that Li Shuning has been responsible for are popular, at least they are second-tier artists, so he has always been classified as a "gold medal agent".

The fact that Chen Yifei lives such a comfortable life without having to worry about almost anything is inseparable from Li Shuning's operation.

At this time, Li Shuning had a serious expression and seemed to be worried about something.

Zhang Xiaorou asked: "Sister Ning, what's wrong? Did something happen?"

Li Shuning shook his head: "It's not a big deal. I'm just worried that the gossip is too hot and may affect some things."

Chen Yifei put down her phone and asked, "Sister Ning, that shouldn't be the case. What impact can such a scandal have? Many people have encountered it."

"I'm worried about your endorsements. If the manufacturers are afraid of the negative impact, it may be difficult to negotiate renewal."

Chen Yifei waved her hand: "Sister Ning, it doesn't matter. If they don't want to renew the contract, then it's up to them. I don't rely on endorsements to make a living."

Li Shuning glanced at Chen Yifei and said unhappily, "But the company relies on endorsements to survive."

Chen Yifei stuck out her tongue, feeling a little embarrassed.

What Li Shuning said was also true. After all, apart from the commission from acting, the biggest part was the endorsement fees.

Without endorsements, there would be a huge loss of income.

What's more, Chen Yifei's endorsements are all top-tier brands, and they are all big sponsors who are willing to pay. No one will watch them give up these endorsements.

Chen Yifei asked: "Sister Ning, what should we do? Otherwise, we should contact the platform and ask them to withdraw the article or lower the ranking."

Li Shuning shook his head. "It's not that simple. I've talked to the person in charge of the entertainment section of the platform. This matter cannot be withdrawn just like that. It needs the approval of the relevant departments. We need to submit an application and go through the process. It takes too long. We may not be able to wait."

Zhang Xiaorou's eyes widened. "Ah? How can it be like this? This is too outrageous! Can't we even dispel the rumor?"

Li Shuning walked back and forth in the room, muttering to himself, obviously thinking of a solution.

This kind of thing is not small, but it is not big either.

Which celebrity doesn’t have scandals?

But the prerequisite is that it should not be made too big, and it cannot last too long. It must be suppressed quickly and then cooled down. However, this scandal involving Chen Yifei has a tendency to intensify, and it really cannot be suppressed for the time being.

Suddenly, Li Shuning stopped, turned around and said to Chen Yifei: "Yifei, what was the man's name?"

"...Male? Hu Jiangshan?"

Li Shuning nodded: "Yes, Hu Jiangshan, I remember he was really good-looking, and his family background was also good. What does he do now?"

Chen Yifei hesitated and said, "I only know that he built a space launch site, and I don't know anything else."

Li Shuning's eyes lit up: "Space launch site? Astronauts?"

"Yes, it should be."

"Well, why don't you just take advantage of their trick and hammer them!"

Chen Yifei was originally taking the water cup from the table, but when she heard what Li Shuning said, she almost knocked the cup to the ground.
