Lu Wenxing was very confused. He clearly had a beautiful face that the entire entertainment industry envied, and he could sing, dance, and act, yet he was utterly unpopular. Until—
He had a d...
Gu Yanshen clicked on the hot search and the first one was a Weibo post by a gossip entertainment blogger.
[Lu Wenxing is imitating Wen Yu, right? But Wen Yu is a real rich young master. Look at the clothes he wears, all of them are high-end custom-made. When Lu Wenxing first appeared on the variety show, I checked the brands of his clothes and pants. They were all fast-selling brands worn by college students, and the total cost was less than a thousand yuan.] The accompanying pictures are several photos of Lu Wenxing on the variety show. Each picture is photoshopped into a comparison photo. Lu Wenxing is on the left and Wen Yu is on the right.
There were all kinds of comments in the comment section, and the one that jumped the highest was Wen Yudao’s fans.
[My brother is a real rich second generation. If Lu Wenxing wants to imitate him, at least he should wear some decent clothes.]
[I remember my brother accidentally exposed several black cards in his wallet and high-end membership cards of high-end clubs when he was recording a variety show]
[I know there is a membership card for a golf course. You can’t enter that place just by paying money. It only entertains regular members and doesn’t sell cards to the public.]
[Does the fan above have a cat disease? It turns out that Wen Yu is the only rich second generation in the entire entertainment industry. ]
[I am dying of laughter. Are there not enough second-generation and third-generation rich people in the entertainment industry? Is this also called selling a persona? ]
[This time I stand with Lu Wenxing]
【Take my stars away】
[Kouqu, Wen Yu’s fans are out of their minds. Your brother himself pulled Xingxing to say that he was a friend on the show, and Xingxing nodded because she was forced to be in the camera.]
[For an unknown celebrity like Lu Wenxing, her brother takes care of her because they are also Mango Orange artists, but Lu Wenxing doesn't appreciate it.] The comment section was filled with heated arguments, and netizens were just watching the fun.
Lu Wenxing leaned over to take a look, but Gu Yanshen had already turned off the screen.
"Why don't you let me see it?"
"Drink the ginger tea first. The temperature will drop as the sun sets."
Lu Wenxing was not that curious. He just didn’t want to drink the ginger tea, so he looked around to delay time.
But it was hard to ignore the gazes of Chen Che and Gu Yanshen falling on him.
Lu Wenxing: “…”
He took a sip in silence; it tasted just as unpalatable as ever.
"You won't be able to finish drinking at this rate until the evening."
After all, Chen Che is Lu Wenxing's personal assistant. After a month of close care, he has roughly figured out Lu Wenxing's taste.
He likes sweets and strong spicy food, but he won’t eat anything with a strong smell other than chili, such as rice noodle with snails, stinky tofu, and sour bamboo shoot noodles.
A few days ago, Wen Miao wanted to eat snail noodles very much, so he asked his assistant to buy some. Because they were eaten in the greenhouse, Lu Wenxing was smoked out of the greenhouse and ran towards Gu Yanshen's nanny car.
"You don't like ginger tea?"
Lu Wenxing was hesitating, and Gu Yanshen beside him also noticed it.
"right."
Lu Wenxing did not deny it. Why should he let himself down? If he didn't like it, he just didn't like it...
"It doesn't matter whether you like it or not, you have to drink it anyway." Chen Che looked at Lu Wenxing with a smile, leaving him no room for choice.
Lu Wenxing: “…”
Under the gaze of the two, Lu Wenxing drank the whole cup of ginger tea, with unhappiness written all over his face.
Gu Yanshen handed him a candy.
"Thanks."
"Give me the phone." Lu Wenxing held his palm up.
“Don’t check Weibo.” Chen Che knew he couldn’t hide it from Lu Wenxing, so he tried to persuade him psychologically, “Keyboard warriors and anti-fans just have nothing to do.”
Lu Wenxing didn't answer. He took out his phone and clicked on the hot search on Weibo.
Chen Che and Gu Yanshen observed Lu Wenxing's expression.
"Sister Xu Rong is already trying to figure out a way to deal with it."
“Oh.” Lu Wenxing continued to read the comments.
Chen Che: "Don't read the meaningless comments."
Lu Wenxing kept swiping his phone every few seconds. Suddenly, he didn't know what he saw and his thumb paused.
Gu Yanshen was about to say something to comfort him, but Lu Wenxing came closer to him and said, "Look."
His eyes fell on Lu Wenxing's phone.
[Lu Wenxing has no brains except good looks. Does he really think it's easy to pretend to be a rich second generation? Has he been to UIN restaurant? Does he have a membership at Mafeli Golf Course? Does he know what the swimming pool at the Wi Club looks like? Oh, yes, he has definitely never been to the Sky Garden at the Sky Tower.]
Then attached were several photos of Wen Yu taking selfies or being candidly photographed in these places.
Gu Yanshen: ???
Chen Che and Gu Yanshen looked at each other, and then looked at Lu Wenxing in confusion.
"Look at the first sentence."
——Lu Wenxing is not only good-looking...
Gu Yanshen: "..."
Chen Che: “…”
"Even my haters sincerely think I'm good-looking." Lu Wenxing handed the phone to Chen Che, "Take a picture for me, make me look handsome, I want to post it on Weibo."
Gu Yanshen: "..."
Chen Che: “…”
Chen Che took the phone woodenly, turned on the original camera and pointed it at Lu Wenxing's face. Gu Yanshen, who was sitting next to him, followed into the camera.
His hand was on the backrest behind Lu Wenxing. Although there was no physical contact with Lu Wenxing, this gesture of support was very intriguing.
Chen Che was shocked by his own thoughts for a moment. He felt that he was not worthy of the salary that Mr. Wen paid.
——Click.
They were both in costumes, their hair was half-dried, and although they had changed out of their wet clothes, they were still wrapped in towels.
Soon, netizens saw Lu Wenxing post on Weibo.
【路闻星v】Finished filming the rain scene with Teacher Gu.
The haters who thought Lu Wenxing had posted a Weibo post to clarify the matter have rushed here with their keyboards, but...
That’s it?
Seeing that Lu Wenxing was not affected by the online comments, fans all tacitly agreed not to mention it.
【The stars are so handsome! 】
[It's still very cold at night in April, please keep warm]
[Shen’s hand is on Xingxing’s shoulder. Ahhhhhhhh, I bumped into it again.]
[CP fans come uninvited]
[Isn't Brother Shen's protection too obvious? ]
New comments poured in under the blogger who originally broke the news.
[That garden... can it be more expensive than the photo with Brother Shen? ]
[I don’t need to go to those high-end consumption places, I just want to have a chance to take a photo with Brother Shen]
[It's so funny, the trolls are so passionate online. People don't take it seriously at all, they are filming seriously. But Wen Yu's fans, are you really trying to get attention because your brother is too obscure? ]
[Wen Yu's fans are so shameless that they even copied his brother's character. Has your brother's character been applied for intangible cultural heritage? Is he the only second-generation rich man in the entire entertainment industry? ]
[Brother Shen and Director Qin are both second-generation rich, right? When Brother Shen debuted, Wen Yu was nowhere to be found. So, can Brother Shen's fans mock Wen Yu for plagiarizing his character design?]
[Any second-generation rich artist who debuted earlier than Wen Yu in the entertainment industry can be mocked]...
While Lu Wenxing was filming with peace of mind, the Wen family was far away in City C.
Wen Huaihe said proudly, "The navy I bought will arrive at the battlefield in three seconds."
Wen Zheng: “…”
"Dad, can you be more reliable?"
Wen Huaihe turned to Ji Yuan, "Xiao Zheng said that I am unreliable. Isn't it wrong to suppress reviews? My assistant told me that the entertainment industry will buy Internet trolls to control reviews. Isn't that right?"
Ji Yuan thought for a moment and said, "How about I let Wen Yu..."
"Don't." Wen Huaihe interrupted Ji Yuan, "Wen Yu had to go to school before, so he couldn't be without a household registration. Now his household registration has been signed out, and we have done what we promised to the former director of the welfare home. There is no need to..."
Ji Yuan understood what he meant. In recent years, they only called each other during festivals and occasionally Wen Yu would come to visit. Since they didn't need Wen Yu's thanks and gratitude, there was no need to bother Wen Yu for this matter, not to mention that Wen Yu himself might not have the right to comment on his Weibo.
Wen Zheng picked up the phone and called Wen Yan.
"You guys are a little slow in public relations."
"We're in a meeting. Do you want to hear what Xu Rong has to say?"
Wen Yan turned on the radio and Xu Rong's voice came from the receiver.
"Actually...I suggest not making any statements for now."
"Although he is in the spotlight now, the ones who are jumping the gun are probably the trolls, just ignore it. Xingxing himself also posted on Weibo, making it clear that he doesn't want to care, so let him focus on filming. Look at the direction of the comments section, everyone says he is dedicated to his work by focusing on filming."
Wen Zheng retorted without even thinking.
"Xingxing is in the crew, exposed to the wind and sun, wrapped in thick costumes in the middle of the day, and repeatedly polishing a scene... Isn't this considered professionalism? Only not responding to rumors and black material is considered professionalism?"
Xu Rong was speechless, but the entertainment industry is sometimes outrageous.
Ji Yuan nodded in agreement, "Why should we, Xingxing, be wronged?"
They had originally planned to announce it at Lu Wenxing’s birthday party next month, but now it seems they may have to do it earlier.
As Lu Wenxing's agent and working at the Wen family company, Xu Rong naturally knew Lu Wenxing's identity. Before Xu Rong could say anything, someone on the other end had already started talking.
“Check Weibo!”
Wen Huaihe looked down at Weibo and saw another entertainment blogger breaking the news.
[I thought Wen Yu was just an ordinary rich second-generation, but it turned out...] The accompanying picture was a picture of Wen Yu, Ji Yuan, and Wen Zheng standing together, and another one was a group photo of Wen Yu with several classmates and their parents.
Among them, the one standing next to Wen Yu was Ji Yuan.
#C City’s Richest Man Wen Family#
The comment section was filled with all kinds of exclamations under the leadership of the internet trolls.
[Fuck, I'm shocked, this is not on the same level as the second generation of rich people in the entertainment industry]
[There are many rich people, and there are also many artists who are called rich second generation. Wen Yu is a top wealthy family, right?]
[Excuse me, I shouldn’t have said that the entertainment industry is full of rich second-generations, but there are indeed not many who are as rich as this one]
[Oh my god, the pocket money given by a rich family like this in one month is equivalent to my lifetime income]
[Sisters, do you still remember what my brother said on a variety show, that he entered the entertainment industry to prove himself]
[So, if you're not famous, you have to go back and inherit the family business? ]
[Fuck! Inheritance is definitely better than working so hard to become an actor and gain fame and fortune.]
[It has that flavor]
The happiest people are Wen Yu’s fans. Whether Lu Wenxing is a rich second generation is another matter, but there are only a handful of people in the entertainment industry who can be so wealthy.
Wen Yu is a member of the Wen family. In fact, the surname already explains everything, but they just didn't make any associations. But now that I think about it, there doesn't seem to be a wealthy family with the surname Lu.
"It's not appropriate to release Xingxing's identity at this time." Xu Rong didn't expect that there would be such a big operation behind this.
Wen Yu's identity was exposed first, and if Lu Wenxing revealed the same background, the two would definitely be compared, and someone would dig deeper into Lu Wenxing's surname.
"If all netizens knew that Xingxing was missing, it would be detrimental to the investigation of the missing case. Since we have given the illusion that we are giving up because we can't find any clues, if netizens get involved, the one who is exposed will only be a scapegoat, and the real culprit will be hidden even more secretly."
Wen Yan pondered for a moment and continued.
"Besides, Wen Yu announced his identity first, and Xing Xing revealed the same family background, so netizens will make malicious speculations."
"Adopted children and biological children are always hot topics. Unscrupulous media will sway the public opinion and make it seem like Lu Wenxing, the biological son, is jealous of the adopted son and kicks him out of the house."
"Of course, you can sue for slander and defamation, but when there are things that need to be concealed, the truth will be distorted. Our goal is to solve the problem of stars being dragged down, not to push them into higher waves."
Ji Yuan calmed down for a moment, but still disagreed. "So... the suggestion is to do nothing?"
Xu Rong knew that the Wen family was protective of their people, so doing nothing might not be an option.
"I have a suggestion. The current problem is 'selling the rich second-generation persona'. There is no need to talk about other things. It is enough to prove that Xingxing is a rich second-generation."
Ji Yuan and Wen Huaihe looked at each other.
Although it is possible, they still feel that Xingxing is wronged.
"Then how do you plan to prove it?"
Xu Rong: "It's very simple, just get endorsements."
Wen Huaihe immediately said: "The Wen family has many companies... Which one is suitable?"
"The Wen family is not okay. It's best for Xingxing not to have anything to do with the Wen family right now."
Xu Rong has clear ideas.
"The Wen family came out at this time...Even if Wen Yu's identity as an adopted son was not exposed, netizens would still be suspicious about it. If his identity as an adopted son was really revealed, and the endorsement was given to a star, the public might suspect that Wen Yu was not doing well in the Wen family."
"Many people don't care about the truth at all. They only see the truth in their own imagination. The stars themselves are not affected. We should not worry about it."
"Also, Wen Yu is not in the Wen family's household registration book, so there is a suspicion that the Wen family adopted Wen Yu and then abandoned him..."
They had a verbal agreement with the former dean to raise Wen Yu to adulthood, but other people didn't know about it and might not believe it. They might even suspect that they were trying to cover up the facts and do whatever they wanted.
Wen Zheng actually thought about bringing Xingxing home, so he had to do it openly and aboveboard, and it would be best if he could provide evidence that Wen Yu's strange behaviors must be problematic.
Only by producing evidence can we ensure that Xingxing has been an outsider from beginning to end and will not be affected by public opinion.
"Leave the endorsement to me."
Xu Rong thought about it and reminded Wen Zheng, "Don't be too high-profile when endorsing."
"Um."
After Wen Zheng hung up the phone, he took the car keys and left.
"Where are you going?" Ji Yuan asked.
"Don't wait for me for dinner."
Wen Zheng drove straight to the house where Wen Yu lived. His face was gloomy, and Wen Yu was frightened the moment he opened the door.
"Brother, why are you..."
Before Wen Yu could finish his words, Wen Zheng pushed him, walked into the room and closed the door.
"Is that you?"
"Brother, what are you talking about?"
"They found a Weibo account to expose the news, and hired some netizens to lead the trend and criticize the stars. Then they exposed a few photos and implicated the Wen family..."
"I really don't know." Wen Yu looked innocent.
Wen Zheng was too lazy to talk to him.
"Don't worry, I won't expose your lies in front of the media for now. You can pretend however you want in public. But privately...from today on, the conveniences the Wen family has given you will end."
"Don't go to the private club you often go to anymore. Also, the supplementary card my father gave you has been frozen. The custom-made clothes you often wear..."
Wen Yu's face looked very unhappy, and his heart sank.
"I don't care what you buy with your own money, but don't even think about it as long as I can interfere."
Wen Yu's face turned pale, "Brother, I really don't know anything. You can't doubt me without evidence..."
He knew that such a bold move would arouse Wen Zheng's suspicion, but he had no choice.
At the banquet, he unexpectedly heard that Wen Huaihe was planning to find a time to make public the fact that his household registration had been signed out. After hearing the news, Wen Yu could no longer hide it.
He cannot live without the support of the Wen family for the time being. Even if they are just relying on the power of the Wen family, there will always be people who give him convenience because of his status.
Agent Wang Man is one of them.
Now, he has become a hot topic among the public, and the Wen family is no exception. As long as the Wen family does not want Lu Wenxing to be implicated, they will not announce Lu Wenxing's identity at this time.
There was no anger on Wen Zheng's face, but his cold expression made Wen Yu even more panicked.
"You always thought I was targeting you?" Wen Zheng sneered, "This is what targeting is."
"You still have a few endorsements, right? It's okay, I'll notify them to hire other endorsements."
Wen Yu stared at Wen Zheng blankly, "Brother, this is really none of my business, I..."
He was now in a dilemma. He had tried his best to please the Wen family over the years, but it was all in vain. He only had Li Xiao as a bargaining chip.
Wen Zheng was not worried about Wen Yu revealing any explosive news, because it would be even more disadvantageous to him. Wen Yu was indeed greedy and vain, so he would maintain his only dignity in front of outsiders.
Wen Zheng shook off Wen Yu's hand that was clinging to him.
Bang
The slamming sound of the door seemed to hit Wen Yu's chest.
After Wen Zheng left Wen Yu's house, he drove to find his good friend Xu Weiyao.
"I see. We want to create the feeling that Xingxing has someone backing him up." Xu Weiyao nodded. "Is it to highlight that... as long as Xingxing is willing, he has no shortage of endorsements?"
"That's about right." Wen Zheng thought about it and felt that having someone backing him up meant he was in line with the identity of a rich second generation.
"Don't worry, I'll have my assistant notify them to post a suitable official blog, and it will definitely be done."
Xu Weiyao secretly sent messages to his good friends in the group to show off.
[You may not know that Xingxing will soon be the spokesperson for our brand. ]
[What do you mean? Xingxing is lacking endorsements? We have a watch endorsement that suits him]
[Xingxing's family already has watches to endorse, why would they need yours? Why not come to ours...]...
The new hot search topic made Xu Rong's eyebrows jump, and she almost thought she was dazzled.
#Lu Wenxing endorsement#
#qiqi family endorsement#
#wu family endorsement#
…
More than a dozen brands seemed to have had their accounts hacked, with @路闻星 appearing one after another, or copy-and-pasted Weibo posts.
[Xingxing, will you accept the endorsement? 】
Netizens in the comment section were confused.
【Can someone tell me what happened? 】
【Did I miss something? 】
[Is Lu Wenxing unhappy about being criticized by Wen Yu’s fans, so he spent a huge amount of money on major brands? ]
Xu Rong: "..." This is being low-key? Where the hell is this low-key?
On the other side, Lu Wenxing was still in the crew.
"Finally the show is over. I'm so hungry."
Gu Yanshen came out of the dressing room and asked, "Would you like to have dinner together?"
"Okay." Lu Wenxing responded, "Chen Che, give me my phone."
After Lu Wenxing replied to a few WeChat messages, he clicked on Weibo and it was stuck for a moment.
"Xingxing. You, look." Chen Che looked confused and showed his phone to Lu Wenxing.
Looking at a row of copy-and-pasted endorsement invitations, Lu Wenxing blinked blankly.
What happened?
The author has something to say: Xu Rong: "Be low-key."
Wen Zheng: “Yeah.”
Xu Weiyao: "Don't worry, I'll do the job."
Then...Weibo was paralyzed.
Slapping someone in the face also requires planning, don't be impatient.
