The Xu family went bankrupt, and Xu Yao was heavily indebted. Everyone said that her rich fiancé Shen Yan was Xu Yao's last straw.
Three years later, Xu Yao, however, proactively propose...
127: Xu Yao’s mother is his mother
The celebration has not yet ended, and major MCN companies have already started marketing for their own internet celebrities.
Not long after Xu Yao came off the stage holding the trophy, she saw videos from several marketing accounts.
Li Lanyi and Tangtang are the most popular, with netizens digging up their details from head to toe. Currently, their fanbases are roughly evenly matched. Besides these two, Xu Yao has also been implicated by marketing accounts.
Some marketing accounts exposed Xu Yao, saying that she became famous by riding on the popularity of Tangtang and Jiang Zhiyan, and as a result, she won the "Newcomer of the Year Leap Forward Award" but Tangtang did not - this is really a lie with open eyes. Tangtang joined Huahu a year earlier than Xu Yao, and does not meet the basic requirements of the "Newcomer of the Year Leap Forward Award" at all.
Xu Yao sensed that a storm was about to break out, so she sent messages to Hua Bin and Xiao Ling, reminding them to pay attention to online public opinion.
Hua Bin sent a video link to Xu Yao.
The content was that Xu Yao, Tangtang, and Li Lanyi were named the best dressed at this talent celebration. The marketing account said that the three of them raised the level of internet celebrities walking the red carpet, and praised the three of them highly. Then they brought out the worst dressed at this talent celebration, and three contracted internet celebrities from "Jia Le Media" were on the list!
"It must be the marketing that Jiale bought for them."
Hua Bin was very emotional. "I heard from Xiaoling that Jiale has always wanted to sign you and offered a very high signing fee. Fortunately, you had the good sense to not sign with them."
All the internet celebrities signed by "Jia Le" have taken the black-and-red route. This way they can make quick money but they completely ignore the subsequent development of the internet celebrities. Hua Bin couldn't even imagine what Xu Yao would look like if she was forced to walk the red carpet in a see-through dress.
"Brother Bin, we don't care about other people's business, just don't drag me down when they're marketing."
Xu Yao didn't really care about Jiang Mingjia's marketing. She felt the internet was flooded with rumors that something was amiss with Tangtang and Li Lanyi. The simultaneous appearance of these two people certainly piqued netizens' gossip sensibilities, but without guidance, the marketing accounts wouldn't have been deployed so quickly and on such a large scale.
Is it Li Lanyi’s team?
Or is it Shen Yan who is making the effort?
Shengshi hasn't let Tangtang follow the path of shady celebrity. Top influencers no longer need see-through outfits to generate buzz; Shengshi is simply exploiting Tangtang's commercial value. Tangtang has already started livestreaming, selling goods, and her assistant is a new talent signed by Shengshi.
The sky-high signing fee of 'Shengshi' is indeed not that easy to get!
However, Xu Yao was still surprised not to see Jiang Mingjia today.
Three internet celebrities from 'Jia Le' were invited to attend the celebration, but it was a bit strange that Jiang Mingjia, as the boss, did not show up.
…
Gu Jun also saw the video from the marketing account.
Seeing that the three female internet celebrities signed by Jiale Media were all on the list of poorly reviewed outfits, Gu Jun asked Jiang Zhiyan, who had just returned to the lounge, "Is Jiang Mingjia not on the invitation list?"
Jiang Zhiyan loosened his tie and sneered: "She was on the invitation list, but I didn't want to see her, so I found a way to prevent her from showing up."
The more Jiang Zhiyan looked at Jiang Mingjia, the more annoyed he became.
Jiang Mingjia used to be very persistent towards Gu Jun, but Jiang Zhiyan didn't feel the same way. It was not until Jiang Mingjia started to frequently interfere in Jiang Zhiyan's own affairs that Jiang Zhiyan became more and more disgusted with this cousin.
When will it be Jiang Mingjia's turn to decide whether he and Tangtang should be together?
Originally, Tangtang didn't need to sign a contract with Shen Yan, because Jiang Mingjia went to Tangtang and talked nonsense... Jiang Zhiyan abided by the rules set by Gu Jun and did not use the company's power to deal with "Jia Le Media". He did not let the event team kick the Internet celebrities signed by "Jia Le" from the invitation list, but he still had a way to prevent Jiang Mingjia from appearing at the celebration in person!
If Gu Jun didn't ask, Jiang Zhiyan wouldn't mention it specifically.
When Gu Jun asked, Jiang Zhiyan did not hide anything.
In fact, Gu Jun didn't want to see Jiang Mingjia hanging around in front of him. When Jiang Zhiyan did this, Gu Jun thought Jiang Zhiyan was courageous.
It's very difficult for a wealthy second-generation like Jiang Zhiyan, who grew up dependent on his family, to break free from their control. Jiang Zhiyan's personality is simply too soft. When Jiang Zhiyan was an investor for Gu Jun, of course, the softer the personality, the better. Gu Jun doesn't get along with strong investors. Now that his business is successful, Gu Jun wants Jiang Zhiyan to become more powerful, so as to cut off the Jiang family's unwarranted delusions!
"Jiang Mingjia is not a big problem. Her disrespect for you is actually the Jiang family's disrespect for you."
Gu Jun also spoke to the point.
Since no one respects Jiang Zhiyan, they naturally won't respect Tangtang, so Jiang Mingjia ran to Tangtang and said a bunch of unpleasant things.
Jiang Zhiyan's expression was grim: "I will take care of the Jiang family's affairs."
Gu Jun smiled and made no comment.
Gu Jun was not too worried about the Jiang family. If they bullied Jiang Zhiyan too much and Jiang Zhiyan did not resist, Gu Jun would not sit idly by.
Gu Jun now has to analyze the content trends of those marketing accounts. He is more worried that the videos released by those marketing accounts will be detrimental to Xu Yao.
Jiang Mingjia is a self-righteous young lady, and she will definitely do something when she sees Xu Yao being in the spotlight.
Chen Yan is a former boyfriend who is not very broad-minded. Seeing Xu Yao getting better and better, he must be unhappy.
It just so happens that these two people have their own MCN companies and have the connections to cause trouble!
Gu Jun was watching videos when his phone rang.
It was Lin Meixian calling.
Gu Jun subconsciously stood up to answer the phone.
"Hey, Mom, I'm here. Um, I'm backstage. Did you see Yaoyao win the award? Of course I did."
Jiang Zhiyan discovered that Gu Jun was not only love-brained in front of Xu Yao, but also very respectful in front of his mother-in-law Lin Meixian!
Lin Meixian watched the celebration live broadcast and was happy for Xu Yao's award, but after seeing the comments in the live broadcast room, she became worried about Xu Yao. "Will there be any trouble with Yaoyao winning the award?"
Lin Meixian’s focus is not on whether Gu Jun helped Xu Yao win the award, but whether Gu Jun cleaned up the mess after helping.
Gu Jun's tone was somewhat helpless: "Mom, Mr. Jiang is not someone I can manipulate so easily. I wouldn't do these little tricks under his nose. It's really not me!"
Jiang Zhiyan rolled his eyes and really wanted to snatch the phone from Gu Jun: I am indeed not someone that Gu Jun can control at will, I am his lackey that he can control at will!
"So Yaoyao won the award herself? That's great! Gu Jun, Mommy won't bother you anymore, just go and do your thing. Don't worry about those online doubts, let them say whatever they want about things I haven't done."
Lin Meixian's open-mindedness soothed Gu Jun's impatience.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Jun praised Lin Meixian for her wisdom. He felt that Lin Meixian might not understand what traffic generation was, but Lin Meixian had grasped the most essential thing: for internet celebrities, having traffic is a good thing.
Jiang Zhiyan rolled his eyes again and again: "Alright, alright, stop praising her. She's Xu Yao's biological mother, not yours. Do you really have to lick her like that?"
Gu Jun said seriously, "Xu Yao's mother is my mother, there's no difference."
Gu Jun's biological mother has been absent for many years. He doesn't know what other people's mothers are like. Lin Meixian has satisfied all of Gu Jun's fantasies about his mother.
