Now he understood why people in other industries were terrified when Lu Shen was mentioned; this man was indeed quite frightening when he took action.
He hadn't paid much attention to Lu Shen before because Lu Shen wasn't involved in the film and television industry.
Furthermore, because of Tian Lei's matter, he instinctively disliked the Lu family, so he was somewhat disdainful of Lu Shen.
"It seems Jian Ruoxi is right. I was able to escape from Lu Shen's clutches time and time again because of Xiao Jin."
If it weren't for their past relationship, Lu Shen definitely wouldn't have let him go.
Seeing that Ran Jie was somewhat distracted, the assistant tentatively asked, "Ran Jie, what should we do next? The widespread sharing of this video has already affected the number of views on Ruoxi and Ziyu's interactive videos."
Ran Jie saw more than just that. Although Jian Ruoxi and Lu Shen were already controlling their emotions during the conversation, and everything they said on the phone seemed normal.
But if someone uses their imagination even a little, this phone call can immediately turn sour.
Because even he could sense the sincerity in Lu Shen's words.
"Don't worry about that. Tell the publicity department that as long as the current data is maintained, that's fine. Don't try to compete with that video."
The current situation is alright; at least their propaganda can still be seen by some people. If they continue to compete with Lu Shen's forces, they might not even be given a single vacancy.
The assistant was somewhat puzzled when he heard Ran Jie make this arrangement.
That's strange, when did Ran Jie become so mild-mannered?
He actually backed down? This is nothing like him before.
"Is there anything else?" Ran Jie asked, displeased that his assistant was still lingering.
"No, that's all." Upon meeting Ran Jie's gaze, the assistant immediately tensed up. "I'll go and notify the publicity department right away."
The assistant practically flew away from the scene.
After the bodyguards forwarded it for a while, they realized something was wrong.
"It's strange, have you noticed that the number of reposts of videos about the young mistress and Su Ziyu seems to have stopped increasing significantly?"
When A-Jie came to check after hearing the noise, he found that, just as they had said, Hua Rui had stopped competing with them for exposure and had chosen to let the video data grow naturally.
"Brother Jie, isn't this a sign of weakness from Huarui?"
Ah Jie nodded; it was indeed quite obvious.
Just moments ago, the two sides were using the internet as a battlefield, secretly vying for dominance, but now Huarui has chosen to take the initiative to back down.
"I think the number of reposts is already quite good. Since they've stopped, we should stop too, and give them enough room for publicity."
"After all, Huarui is still the young mistress's company, and it would be a bit unseemly to drive her to the brink of ruin."
The two sides stopped fighting one after the other, which resulted in the two videos receiving roughly the same number of shares and views online.
Ultimately, which side will be more popular with netizens depends on personal preference.
Just as Ran Jie had envisioned, once Jian Ruoxi and Lu Shen's interactive videos reached a certain level and attracted more attention, they would naturally arouse people's imaginations.
At first, the comments under the video were normal.
They were all talking about harmonious scenes of interaction between celebrities and fans.
"This fan is so polite and respectful to Ruoxi."
"Ruoxi is so approachable, I want to talk to her."
But gradually, the comments below began to take a different turn.
"That fan was definitely telling the truth at the end. She had been silently supporting her artist from behind the scenes. Although she was very excited, she chose to restrain herself for the sake of the person she liked."
"This kind of protective affection is true love."
This shift in public opinion was something Lu Shen was happy to see. At that moment, he had nothing to do and was browsing the comments under the video.
He's never stingy with a thumbs-up when he comes across a particularly insightful comment from a netizen.
"Yes, quite a few people have good taste."
As I scrolled down through the posts, I came across a post from a netizen with a vivid imagination. Based on his phone call with Jian Ruoxi, he had already come up with a whole story.
The story is called "I Won Over a Celebrity".
It's a fan fiction about the two of them, and although it's only been written for a short time, it has already been read and shared by many readers.
"This person writes interestingly."
The story had just begun, and the first chapter was about their phone call. The author portrayed him as someone who silently watched over the female star, which won him a lot of people's favor.
The secretary came in wanting Lu Shen to sign the document. Just as she was about to hand it to him, she looked up and was almost startled.
The CEO was holding his phone and smiling broadly.
This is too bizarre.
In the end, Lu Shen noticed the secretary's presence.
"Is something the matter?" Lu Shen's expression immediately returned to normal when he spoke to his secretary.
"Young Master Lu, this requires your signature."
As Lu Shen was signing, his secretary kept glancing at his phone, looking puzzled.
What was the young master looking at just now? Why was he laughing like that?
Lu Shen handed the signed documents back to his secretary. The secretary was about to leave when Lu Shen stopped her.
"Wait, go online and search for this Weibo ID."
Lu Shen showed his secretary the Weibo account of the person who had just written the story.
"And what happens after you find it?" The secretary took the phone and was shocked to see that Young Master Lu had just been playing on Weibo, but she didn't show it on her face.
What does Young Master Lu want with this person? There haven't been any photos or anything posted here, and she doesn't look like a beauty at all. I don't know what the young master sees in her.
"After you find her, tell her that the stories she posted on Weibo are good and encourage her to continue writing."
"We negotiated the fees and copyright, and bought the rest of her story as well."
The secretary became even more puzzled after hearing what Lu Shen said.
Ah? Young master, do you want to hear a story?
Are they really that bored? She really can't understand the world of the rich.
"What, didn't I make myself clear enough?"
Seeing that his secretary did not respond for a long time, Lu Shen was somewhat displeased.
"Understood, understood, I'll go find someone right away."
After his secretary left, Lu Shen watched with great interest the widely circulated video online of him talking on the phone with Jian Ruoxi.
Some netizens even added background music to the videos, creating a suggestive atmosphere.
Influenced by his grandmother, he unconsciously felt that everything in the entertainment industry was bad.
Seeing it in person now, I find it has a unique charm.
"There are quite a few interesting things here."
"It seems I'll be dealing with this industry quite often from now on."
Ruoxi will soon be under the jurisdiction of Huarui, and the people within Huarui know best about her movements.
Thinking of this, Lu Shen contacted Hua Rui's chairman, who hadn't spoken to him for a long time.
"Chairman, it's been a long time."
"I also want you to do something for me this time. You have to tell me before Jian Ruoxi attends each event."
