Chapter 71 The News Spreads (Please read on, please recommend, please do everything!)

Three days flew by.

Entertainment newspapers and magazines have been celebrating for a long time, with almost all the headlines dominated by the same topic.

Exclusive report! Wang Fei secretly meets with a mysterious young man from mainland China; they've been inseparable for three days!

"Wang Fei spotted at car accident scene; identity of her mysterious male companion revealed!"

In-depth analysis of the marketing mysteries behind the "carjacking and rescue" incident!

"The Faye Wong and Nicholas Tse romance has officially ended; both have found new partners!"

"Gu Xiao from Beijing Film Academy! Wang Fei's new love interest, with a mainland background and an amazing resume!"

The front pages of newspapers featured photos taken from various angles:
Gu Xiao and Wang Fei walked side by side on the street. Wang Fei was wearing sunglasses, but her face could still be vaguely discerned.
Against the backdrop of a chaotic car accident scene, Wang Fei's profile is shown holding a little girl.

There's even a long-distance telephoto shot showing the two eating and talking by the window in a restaurant.

Various headlines appeared on entertainment websites, with the following content being full of speculation and sensationalism.

An insider revealed that Gu Xiao is the son of a wealthy businessman in mainland China and has been secretly dating Wang Fei for some time.
A veteran entertainment reporter analyzed that the car accident rescue was actually a carefully planned publicity stunt to promote newcomer Gu Xiao.
The most outrageous article even dug up Gu Xiao's costume fitting photos as Ouyang Yujian in "The Story of a Noble Family," comparing them with several of Wang Fei's exes and discussing her aesthetic preferences.
……

……

"It must have been really tough for them to be able to find even the official photos."

Sony Music, a luxuriously equipped recording studio.

Gu Xiao sat on the sofa, browsing entertainment news websites on Wang Fei's Apple laptop, her tone full of emotion:

"They're all masters of taking things out of context. They clearly know that the truth isn't like that at all."

Three days have passed, and the police have already investigated the details of the car accident and released some information.

The whole story is clear and not at all as mysterious and full of conspiracies as described online.

"The truth is the least important thing to entertainment reporters."

Wang Fei sat next to him, holding a glass of warm water, and said in a calm tone, "They always report whatever attracts attention. Turning black into white and exaggerating are just routine operations for them."

Gu Xiao frowned: "Won't fabricating stories like this interfere with the judiciary or constitute defamation?"

Wang Fei shook her head. "They're very clever; they know what they can and cannot touch."

She scoffed, "Have you seen any media outlets report on the injured girl's information, or the police investigation results?"

Gu Xiao quickly scanned the contents of several reports and found that it was indeed as she said.

The media focused all their attention on his relationship with Wang Fei, with very little detail about the car accident, and not a single police statement was issued.

Wang Fei took a sip of water and continued, "Don't worry about it. It'll fade away naturally in a few days. What's fake is fake."

After all, no entertainment reporter would be so bored as to stake out a relationship that doesn't even exist.

Upon hearing this, Gu Xiao stopped thinking about it and turned her attention back to her work.

Sony Music truly lives up to its reputation as an industry leader; their equipment is many versions more advanced than that of Nortel.

Leaving aside hardware such as microphones, mixing consoles, and monitor speakers, the variety of audio source libraries alone is several times greater than the equipment in the school.

The techniques for audio editing and mixing are also extremely sophisticated.

As the staff operated the control panel, the complex sound wave curves on the screen were precisely modified, improved, and integrated, a process that broadened Gu Xiao's horizons.

He activated his spiritual vision, his gaze following closely, not missing a single step of the operation, while his brain rapidly calculated the parameter adjustments and the logic of the plug-in usage.

Wang Fei watched all of this and found Gu Xiao's focused expression of learning a bit funny, yet also a little cute.

……

……

The news spread extremely quickly.

Gu Xiao, as the person involved, was able to focus on her work and not overthink things, but some people clearly couldn't.

Speedy Internet Cafe.

Qiu Xu suddenly stood up from behind the bar, his eyes wide open, and shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Holy crap! Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

His shout startled several players who were in a group running a dungeon, causing their hands to tremble and their skills to almost hit their teammates.

"What's wrong with the network administrator?"

"Who knows? It seems like it was the same last time."

"Could it be some kind of brain disorder?"

The guests exchanged a few words, but seeing that Qiu Xu was just staring blankly at the newspaper, they went back to their own game world.

Qiu Yuanyuan, who was counting the instant noodles on the shelf with a lollipop in her mouth, was extremely annoyed by the noise.

She strode to the bar, and without saying a word, kicked Qiu Xu's chair leg:
"Why are you making such a fuss! Are you wailing like a mourner?!"

Qiu Xu slammed the newspaper down in front of her, his finger trembling as he pointed to the headline and accompanying picture. "Look! Look at this!"

Qiu Yuanyuan glanced at it impatiently, and her pupils suddenly contracted the moment she saw the title.

She picked up the newspaper, quickly skimmed through the articles, and soon her expression returned to its usual calm:

"fake."

Having regained his composure, Qiu Xu looked around and lowered his voice, saying:

"That's Wang Fei! The photos are real! How could it be fake? If I had that chance, I..."

He didn't say what he was going to say, but his eyes clearly said, "I'm definitely going to give in."

Qiu Yuanyuan glanced at him disdainfully, "That's all you've got."

Qiu Xu was speechless. "Am I your brother or is he your brother? Why do you always side with outsiders?!"

Qiu Yuanyuan was too lazy to argue with him and turned to leave, but after taking only two steps, she suddenly remembered something, turned back, and her expression became somewhat serious:

"Find someone to watch the shop tomorrow and come with me to the hospital."

The topic changed so quickly that Qiu Xu was taken aback: "Going to the hospital? What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"not me."

Qiu Yuanyuan's eyes darkened, and she said in a somber tone, "It's Luo Rui. He had a falling out with his family and was beaten up and hospitalized."

Qiu Xu looked astonished: "Is it this serious this time?"

Qiu Yuanyuan sighed, her voice lowering slightly: "His dad smashed the computer he bought with all his savings."

Qiu Xu was silent for a few seconds, then sighed heavily: "Okay, I'll go with you tomorrow." (Note 1)
……

……

The cast and crew of the TV series "The Story of a Noble Family".

Liu Xiaoli sat in a folding chair, staring blankly at the contents of the newspaper in her hand.

A middle-aged man standing nearby curiously leaned closer, looked at the photo, and asked, "Is this Gu Xiao that Qianqian often mentions?"

Liu Xiaoli nodded.

The middle-aged man crossed his arms, his tone somewhat disdainful: "Your character isn't very good, is it? So young and already learning this kind of thing."

Liu Xiaoli said, "Gu Xiao isn't that kind of person, this must be fake."

"Xiaoli, you're still oversimplifying this industry."

The middle-aged man shook his head. "I've seen plenty of people who are two-faced. Besides, that's Wang Fei."

Liu Xiaoli frowned slightly, looking somewhat displeased.

"Mom, I'm done taking pictures."

Liu Yifei, dressed in a white dress, walked over and gave the middle-aged man a sweet smile: "Godfather, hello."

Chen Jinfei smiled and said, "Hello, Qianqian, are you tired from filming?"

"It was a bit much at first, but I'm used to it now."

Liu Yifei looked at the two of them curiously, "What were you two talking about just now?"

Liu Xiaoli frowned, and was about to change the subject when Chen Jinfei said, "We were just talking about Gu Xiao and Wang Fei. Look, it's all in the newspaper. Didn't you see it?"

"Gu Xiao and Wang Fei?"

The girl was a little stunned. After she came to her senses, she grabbed the newspaper and started reading it.

After a short while, she shook her head and said, "This is fake."

Chen Jinfei smiled and said, "Silly girl, this industry isn't that simple. Similar methods of climbing the ladder are almost a consensus."

"This is fake!"

Liu Yifei said stiffly, "He would never do such a thing."

Chen Jinfei was completely stunned, clearly not expecting Liu Yifei to have such trust in a boy she had only known for a short time.

He opened his mouth, but couldn't help saying:

"Sisi, how do you know it's definitely fake? People's hearts are unpredictable. How many can stay true to themselves when faced with significant interests?"

"I just know it!"

Liu Yifei blurted out, glaring angrily at Chen Jinfei. Realizing her loss of composure, she lowered her head and said in a low voice:
"How could he do such a thing?"

The girl's eyelashes drooped slightly, her tone complex:
"He was so lazy and so arrogant."

　P.S.: The internet cafe storyline is very important, as it relates to the protagonist's ultimate goal.
