Chapter 23
Various circles have been exploring tirelessly, but there is no way to find more information about Mr. Gu anywhere.
First of all, when Mr. Gu started introducing himself at the beginning of the show, before he had the chance to say his name, Du Ruiqing interrupted and called Mr. Gu "Xiao Gu". As a result, Mr. Gu called himself "Xiao Gu".
Woo! Du Ruiqing really deserves to die! He has such a big friend but he still doesn't know how to seize the opportunity! So everyone beat Du Ruiqing even harder.
Even when Mr. Gu was on the phone with Mr. Li, Mr. Li would politely address him as "Mr. Gu". Even if you two are business partners, can you not be so polite! Can't you just call him by a nickname? I'm so angry!
As for the production team... Ugh, they are even more cowardly! Not only do they not dare to announce Mr. Gu's name, they don't even dare to take a picture of Mr. Gu's face! Trash! Trash!
As everyone was cursing Zhong Sheng and actively exploring, various related topics directly dominated the hot searches tonight. Every circle came to a deep understanding of how mysterious and powerful this Mr. Gu is.
[I was still saying that Mr. Gu was in a dilemma, no matter how he dealt with Zhong Sheng, it would not be satisfactory...]
[As a result, this Mr. Gu never showed up from beginning to end... No one even knows his name or appearance.]
[Come to think of it, Mr. Gu is probably too busy with his business affairs, but today he has arranged the recruitment of multiple companies and the comeback of five contestants. This is already top-notch time management. How can he have time to care about Zhong Sheng? ]
[Fake slap in the face: The boss comes out in person to tell you who he is, what his identity and background are, and how many honors he has; Real slap in the face: The boss has never appeared, but the opponent has already fallen to his knees.]
[Shocked, this is the mysterious boss who can really call the shots and is so secretive! ]
"What is my brother doing? Why hasn't he taken any action yet? Assistant Chen hasn't made any move either?" Li Jiashu was worried at first and wanted to see how the situation had developed. But when he opened the app, he saw a string of positive searches about Mr. Gu.
"???"
I clicked in to eat the melons and was so shocked that I was speechless.
Zhong Sheng was beaten to death just like that? So easily? So simple? So universally celebrated?
His brother is really generous!!!
He couldn't help but send a message to Li Tingqin: "Brother! Your wave of protecting your wife is so impressive! It's sweeping the hot searches!"
Li Jiashu didn't expect that his elder brother, who always ignored him, would reply so quickly this time: "?"
"Your sister-in-law told me not to interfere, so you should also not interfere."
Li Jiashu: “!!!” So it was my sister-in-law? ! How could my sister-in-law do such an earth-shattering thing so calmly and quietly!
He quickly went downstairs and came in front of Gu Chen, who was taking his routine evening walk in the ancient Chinese garden of the old house. His lazy and leisurely expression did not fluctuate at all. He even had the leisure to slowly pick a few pink and white peach blossoms to plant back home.
Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, you are so patient!
Li Jiashu was really curious and asked, "Oh my God, sister-in-law! How did you handle this matter? How did you order the 'Six Major Sects' to stir up a bloody storm in the martial arts world?"
Gu Chen was suddenly pushed in front of by a young man full of energy: "?" Brother, are you too immature?
Seeing that Gu Chen was still indifferent, with a puzzled and speechless expression, Li Jiashu said, "Don't hide it from me, sister-in-law. I already know it. Look at all these hot searches. How could I not know? It's amazing."
Gu Chen: “?” Wasn’t he just a guest star who appeared in the show for a total of 4 minutes and 52 seconds? Hot search? What does it have to do with him?
He glanced at Li Jiashu's phone, then: "………………"
Li Jiashu didn't know what was going on. When Gu Chen looked at his phone, his leisurely pace suddenly accelerated. He almost couldn't catch up with his sister-in-law's long legs: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, why are you walking so fast all of a sudden!"
Gu Chen smiled: "I suddenly remembered that I still have something to arrange..." and arranged for Assistant Chen to remove the hot search.
But just as he walked downstairs to the hall, Mr. Li called him: "Xiao Gu..."
Mr. Li was rarely embarrassed: "You handled this matter well, ahem, but it was too exaggerated. But you should not be too proud, you still need to continue to learn with an open mind..."
Li Jiashu thought to himself: "Wow". Grandpa rarely praises people except for his eldest brother. Sister-in-law only stayed in the old house for three days, and she already won over Grandpa?
"Okay, thank you, Grandpa. You're too kind." Gu Chen kept a calm face and expressed his support for the old man's comments. "I also think this is too exaggerated. I'll go and take care of it right away."
Mr. Li: "?" Just like that? After doing such a big thing, how come Xiao Gu has no expression at all? Little kid, there is really no need to be so humble, look at what Jiashu looks like.
Li Jiashu was shocked by Gu Chen's calmness at the moment, Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, you are still so calm!
"Then grandpa, I'll go upstairs first." Gu Chen casually inserted the peach branches he picked into the blue and white porcelain jar on the antique display shelf, slightly adjusted the branches, and then went upstairs.
Mr. Li's face suddenly changed: "That's the blue and white porcelain in my collection! Don't mess with it!"
But when the old man took a look at the flower arrangement, he saw that the pink and white flowers and light green leaves complemented the pattern of the blue and white jar and were full of the freshness of spring.
"Eh? Little Gu is quite tasteful?" He thought about it and changed his mind, "Oh, forget it. A young man suddenly broke his peach blossom. Maybe he missed Tingqin too much. Let's add some water to nourish it."
Assistant Chen still remembered Gu Chen's instructions, but since this was a hot search that would be beneficial to Mr. Gu and would just be able to deal with the bad influence caused by Zhong Sheng, he still hesitated for a moment, and the result was such a surge in popularity.
At this time, everyone had almost finished beating Zhong Sheng and Du Ruiqing, and were all working on exploring the identity of the mysterious Mr. Gu. He felt that it was almost time to withdraw. If he continued to investigate like this, it would be a problem if Mr. Gu didn't want to be exposed on the Internet.
So he used the remaining part of the one million funds that Mr. Gu had transferred to him earlier and began to arrange for the removal of the hot search.
I was withdrawing a lot, but it felt like it wasn’t working. The heat was dropping and rising again? Dropping and rising again? I was running out of funds.
Fortunately, when he was thinking about whether to report the matter to Mr. Li, Mr. Gu called him in time and arranged funds for him. He continued to fight against the trending search with sweat on his forehead.
However, the "six major sects" who were actively trying to find Mr. Gu's identity had lost the desire to continue attacking Zhong Sheng, who had already closed the comments and played dead, and now they are actually starting to reduce the trending searches? !
[Zhong Sheng strikes back again! He starts to lower Mr. Gu's trending searches! Brothers and sisters! Keep going! ]
Zhong Sheng has been in the entertainment industry for a long time and is very familiar with this. He just gave the order: "Don't remove these related trending searches right now, as this can easily arouse rebellious psychology. Wait until these people's emotions calm down, wait until late at night, and then slowly and naturally remove them. Believe me, they will forget about it after two days of scolding."
Then, he opened his phone and found that he was being scolded everywhere again.
Zhong Sheng: “?!” Who is harming me!!!
Gu Chen looked at it for a while and found that if it didn't make it to Weibo's hot search, it would be on the video website's hot search, and there was more than one platform, and it was impossible to withdraw. And soon, Mr. Li's pocket money was also burned up.
Gu Chen: “= =” I just failed to get the pocket money from Mr. Li, but now I have to ask for it... Mr. Li, please give me some pocket money to save my life...
So Gu Chen called Li Tingqin again: "Ahem, Mr. Li..."
However, before he could say anything, Li Tingqin said, "Xiao Gu, I have seen what happened online. You are really excellent and kind."
"?" Gu Chen said, "Mr. Li, you are too kind." Excellent is understandable, but where does the adjective kind come from?
Li Tingqin sighed and said, "Xiao Gu, you don't have to be so modest anymore."
Although Xiao Gu is socially anxious and not good at socializing, he helps many people whenever he participates in a program. Helping the guests around him can be said to be kind to others. Helping so many students solve their employment problems and being willing to ask the Gu family and Cheng family, who have bad connections, for help shows his strong sense of social responsibility.
Therefore, every circle is willing to speak for him.
Xiao Gu was right not to let him interfere, and this solution was really the best. It not only cleared up the stigma that Zhong Sheng had thrown at Xiao Gu, but also prevented the real Xiao Gu from being disturbed.
Li Tingqin continued: "Actually, this matter has almost been resolved. Leave the rest to me. Xiao Gu, don't be polite." He will still deal with certain people who should be dealt with.
"Also, Assistant Chen told me about the trending search. Is your pocket money not enough?" Li Tingqin did make very good arrangements. "You should go out more often and enjoy life more, like Jiashu and the others, and stop spending all your money on things like this."
Gu Chen: "..." He was really not polite. He was just about to ask for pocket money, but the money tree at home would automatically drop money without him shaking it...
"Okay, then thank you, Mr. Li?"
Li Tingqin said with a smile: "Well, go buy something you like. You can also buy a team."
After hanging up the phone, Gu Chen walked out of the room and went downstairs. Li Jiashu poked his head out and said, "Sister-in-law, who did you call just now? You haven't told me how you did it yet?"
Gu Chen smiled: "I called your brother to ask for pocket money." I don't know how I did it.
Li Jiashu: “Ah?”
At the same time, Gu Chen's cell phone dinged and a text message came in.
Li Jiashu asked curiously, "Wow! Let's see if this is the pocket money my brother sent me! Can I take a look?"
Gu Chen remembered that he had persuaded him to take over the company before, so he handed it to him to take a look.
Li Jiashu: “???!!!”
"Oh my god! Why why? Sister-in-law, your pocket money is one digit more than mine!!!"
Is there really anyone who can have so much pocket money! And it was deposited into his account in seconds when his sister-in-law called to ask for pocket money, five million! If he had so much pocket money, why would he start a crappy company? !
Bro! You are so unfair!
Gu Chen asked him seriously: "Jiashu, why do you think that is?" President Li was indeed too generous to him.
Li Jiashu, who was immediately shown off, said: "..."
Well, it’s great that his brother has a wife!!!
…
Late at night, Zhong Sheng felt that it was enough and he could start removing the trending searches and reducing the popularity, and he spent a large sum of money on this.
President Li made further arrangements, and the people below continued to deal with the matter. Moreover, it was daytime, so they did not feel rushed when handling it.
And they found that this matter suddenly became much easier. They hadn't even started many parts yet, but someone had already completed them? This saved a lot of money. They only needed to arrange to deal with the things that the other party hadn't dealt with cleanly.
Another thing is that Mr. Gu hoped that the videos released by the program team could also be deleted. Then they found that many videos released by brands had been deleted yesterday, leaving only the program team itself and some scattered videos. As for the program team, they only need to discuss the contract issues. This is really... reducing the workload again?
The next morning, Zhong Sheng, who had not slept well the night before, got up and checked the results. He was pleasantly surprised to find that the effect was surprisingly good. He had bought such services many times before, but never as clean as this time. He praised: "You did a good job this time." He felt that he got twice the effect for the money.
When the fans woke up in the morning, they were shocked to find that everything was gone!!! All the content related to Mr. Gu was cleared out overnight!!!
[How weird... Could it be that Zhong Sheng is doing sit-ups again? ]
[That's not right, does Zhong Sheng have such great power? ]
[Sisters, let's just say, is there a possibility that we have guessed wrong before, and all this popularity was actually reduced by Mr. Gu. A big shot like Mr. Gu simply doesn't want to be mentioned or discussed on the Internet? Does he not need any fans at all? ]
【!!! It seems like it’s really possible! 】
[Indeed, I feel that only Mr. Gu would be so generous...]
[Wow, so Mr. Gu is gone just like that? Didn’t the face show up in the video? Even licking his hands is not allowed? The useless production team deleted it just like that? 4 minutes and 52 seconds are all highlights! Not a single second of this is a waste!]
[Hehehe, I have already saved it~]
【Request resources! 】
【Request resources! 】
[Alas, am I really going to become the secretive Mr. Gu from now on? ]
[Too shocking, it was completely deleted overnight... Mr. Gu is becoming more and more mysterious... But I want to know who Mr. Gu is, what should I do? I really can't get it! I'm so anxious! ]
Zhong Sheng was speechless: "???" He worked so hard for so long and spent so much money, why didn't you guess when you should have, and guessed Gu Chen when you shouldn't have? !
But forget it, his goal has been achieved, Gu Chen's programs have been deleted, and he can no longer participate in programs. What opportunities will Gu Chen have to show his face in the future? And even if so many people attack him online, what can they do to him in real life?
Tired, he yawned, breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but post a message on his Moments: "Some people can only pretend online, what can they do in real life?"
But he has added many celebrities and internet celebrities on WeChat, and there are actually many people in the list who hate him. Soon, screenshots of his Moments were leaked.
Everyone was so angry that they laughed: [Huh? This guy is so proud of himself? ]
[But it is true... everyone has been scolding him for so long, but it only made him socially dead on the Internet. In real life, he is still a rich and powerful young master. I guess there are many people who continue to lick his boots for money...]
[Speaking of which, I am really angry! ]
[I’m so angry! If a person has no shame, he is invincible, right? As long as he is thick-skinned, we can’t hurt him in any way, right? ]
As soon as Zhong Sheng said this, those fans who had been following him and bullying others became restless and prepared to make a comeback: [Lululu, you worked so hard for so long and typed so many words, but he is still the third son of the Zhong family, with a big family and a big business. Have you caused any substantial harm? ]
[So, you still have to succeed in real life. What's the point of talking about it online? Can the mysterious Mr. Gu you all talk about do anything to the third son of the Zhong family?]
The comments of these people seemed to have provided Zhong Sheng with new ideas. Although he still did not comment, he posted another Weibo: [So-called Mr. Gu, stop manipulating netizens behind the scenes. I am waiting for you to prove your power in reality. ]
Gu Chen has no background, so he definitely wouldn't dare to show up. In this way, wouldn't the rumor that Gu Chen is some mysterious boss be self-defeating?
Everyone immediately became worried: [Fuck! How shameless! What if Mr. Gu doesn't show up again? ]
【Mr. Gu ignored him, why is he still so proud? ! ! 】
However, only half an hour later, the media broke the news: [It is said on the Internet that at around 9 o'clock this morning, the youngest son of a certain entrepreneur named Zhong was arrested in a luxury house somewhere...]
The accompanying picture is of one of Zhong Sheng's luxury homes, and in the picture taken from a distance, one can see a young man being controlled by the police and pushed out of the door.
The netizens were stunned: [!!! Isn’t this Zhong Sheng!!!]
[He sat and waited at home, and then... the police showed up? ! ! ]
[wtmxsl What’s the difference between this and swearing to the sky and then being struck by lightning immediately, hahahaha]
[This slap in the face came too quickly!!! Half an hour ago, Master Zhong was still posting on Weibo waiting for Mr. Gu to prove his power in real life, and the retribution came immediately! ]
[This media is so amazing, hahaha, they even captured this? Speed is of the essence! ]
[The main reason is that Master Zhong may have forgotten that he had shown off this luxury house before, so since he had so many problems yesterday, there must have been media waiting to interview him this morning. And the media probably didn’t expect to capture a big surprise! This news is amazing! ]
[Hahaha, our Master Zhong really keeps his word! You've been waiting for this! Mr. Gu is awesome! ]
[Although I have said it many times, I still want to say that our Mr. Gu... is really too scary and too mysterious... Zhong Sheng just finished speaking when he was taken away...]
[But it was Zhong Sheng himself who committed the crime. In fact, if you think about how he has been bullying people over the years, it is estimated that many people in the circle have been coerced and bribed by him. Maybe many of them did it voluntarily...]
[He still has the nerve to say this female star is not clean and that boy is not clean. I think he is the real rotten cucumber! As a result, just because he is rich, there are a group of WSN fans flattering him. Do you really think that you can become a rich boy by putting yourself in his shoes? Now this social scum with corrupt morals has finally been brought to justice! I feel refreshed! ]
[Mr. Gu still hasn't shown up, but once he made a move, he sent the legal expert to jail.]
[If the young master hadn’t asked for it himself, I doubt Mr. Gu would have bothered to pay attention to him, hahahaha, absolutely amazing]
Not only that, soon after, news of Zhong's multiple projects going bankrupt was revealed, and there was also news that Du Ruiqing had terminated his endorsement contracts...
Although we can no longer find any related videos of Mr. Gu, netizens are tired of talking about how awesome today was so exciting and dramatic.
[Hahaha, Master Zhong has been waiting for Mr. Gu to prove his power, and now it has been proven, and not just on him, it's so funny.]
[Hasn't it always been said that Young Master Zhong is the most beloved young master of the Zhong family? Will his parents really want to beat him up now? Let's see what he is waiting for? Of course, Du Ruiqing definitely wants to beat him up. ]
[It's okay. Du Ruiqing is hanging out with Zhong Sheng, so he's probably not a good person.]
At this moment, Du Ruiqing was shedding tears in front of Qiao Kunping. Although he looked cute, he looked pitiful when he cried: "Brother Ping, what should I do? I don't know how I offended him. Can you help me..."
But Qiao Kunping was not moved at all, and even said indifferently: "I don't want to bring up the past and blame you at this time. It will be ugly. Qingqing, let's part ways in peace."
Du Ruiqing cried helplessly, "But Gu Chen seems to want to ban me... What should I do in the future? Will you marry me? I can retire from the entertainment industry and stay at home to cook..."
"Stop pretending. What were you thinking when you and Zhong Sheng were trying to ban Mr. Gu? And in the beginning, wasn't it you who started the trouble?" Qiao Kunping got a little impatient when he heard this. "You're hanging out with Zhong Sheng's circle, don't I know who you are? I find you disgusting. No wonder Mr. Gu has always looked down on you..."
"?" Du Ruiqing was confused for a moment when he heard this, but he quickly reacted, "Brother Ping, no, it was Young Master Zhong who forced me to post on Weibo. I wasn't familiar with them before..."
It’s not that Qiao Kunping couldn’t see through his habit of lying before, but he just kept silent for the sake of emotional value. But he didn’t expect that Du Ruiqing had been hanging out with Zhong Sheng and his group, which made him feel as sick as if he had eaten a fly.
He raised his eyebrows and said sarcastically, "If you feel that you can't act anymore and want to get married, you can marry Young Master Zhong. In the past, the Zhong family would definitely not let you in, but now that Young Master Zhong is in jail, it's not certain."
Du Ruiqing's face was filled with despair: "Brother Ping, I have already changed..."
Seeing that he was still quibbling, Qiao Kunping didn't want to say anything more and slammed the door and walked out: "Okay, I'm leaving. You can take care of yourself."
…
Gu Chen raised his eyebrows when he saw the message sent by Assistant Chen. President Li really is worthy of being the overbearing CEO. Zhong Sheng and Du Ruiqing handled the matter very quickly.
Now that the trending searches have been removed and the videos have been deleted, he finally feels somewhat satisfied. Although the process was a bit tortuous and bizarre, he is still a passerby who did not appear in the original plot, and the final result is still the same.
The show seemed to have been postponed, and he could finally return to his peaceful life as an ordinary person.
Netizen: [Wow, it seems like the matter is over. Could it be that Mr. Gu has completely disappeared? ]
[Mr. Gu...didn't he never show up from the beginning to the end? We should still thank Master Zhong for letting us see Mr. Gu in action.]
[4 minutes and 52 seconds is really a limited edition video, luckily I saved it. ]
[Although Mr. Gu is still so mysterious, the legend of Mr. Gu will always be spread in the world~]
[Hahahaha, when Mr. Gu shows up one day, can he still command the world? ]
…
In the Li family's old house, Gu Chen continued to lie down happily.
But after a few days of eating the health-preserving meals arranged by Gu Chen, the old man could no longer bear it. Although the health-preserving meals seemed to have some effect, and his family doctor also said that they were scientific...
But now he can even make bird out of his mouth!
Moreover, seeing that Gu Chen's lifestyle was even older than his, he wanted to say, why don't you take on the role of the old man of the Li family!
So he looked at Li Jiashu and said with emotion: "Jiashu, take your sister-in-law out to dance."
