Chapter 151 A Fury That Caused a Scene: Identity Exposed, Murderer
The fashion gala.
The gala will officially begin in five minutes.
A polite staff member approached Qin Shu, whispered a few words in his ear, and then pointed to the doorway.
Qin Shu frowned at first, but didn't move.
Then, the staff member said something else, and he reluctantly got up, straightened his collar, and left with the staff member.
The live stream camera happened to capture this moment.
Haters who were waiting to see the joke immediately jumped out.
[Was the gigolo asked to leave the venue?]
[This is supposed to be the heir of the Qin family? Hilarious! Don't forget, the Qin family sponsors every year's fashion gala. This gigolo dares to so blatantly try to piggyback on their fame; who else should they slap in the face if not him?]
[The biggest scandal at the fashion gala: Show-off gets struck by lightning]
"Miss, are we really not going to deal with these online trolls?" someone asked Wen Jinzhao.
I couldn't stand it anymore.
"Moreover, this wave of online trolls is very strange. They are almost just trying to smear people for the sake of smearing. Although Mr. Qin has haters before, it has never been to this extent."
How could Wen Jinchao not see the anomaly that even his subordinates could spot?
How could Song Ying not see it?
only……
"Don't make any rash moves. Sister Ying told us to just watch the show and not do anything, so let's stay still and not mess up her plans."
Wen Jinzhao has a kind of blind faith in Song Ying.
At that moment, as the fashion gala's large screen lit up, the host gracefully walked onto the stage.
The lights focused on the grand ceremony stage.
"Dear guests, friends, distinguished guests from the entertainment and fashion industries, good evening! This is the annual China Fashion Gala, sponsored by the Qin Group..."
The host enthusiastically introduced the event.
The Qin Group has always been the sponsor of the fashion gala.
Previously, when people heard this, they only marveled at the sheer wealth of the company and didn't feel anything special.
After all, the ultimate in wealth and power is simply too far out of reach for most people.
But today is different.
Many people gloated, wanting to see their faces slapped in the face.
Just then, the host finished his opening remarks.
"...Next, let's welcome Mr. Qin Shu, the newly appointed chairman of the Qin Group and a young and promising entrepreneur, to give us a speech!"
Wait, did I hear that right? Qin Shu?!
Is this the Qin Shu I know?
[Holy crap, this isn't just riding the wave of trending topics, it's the truth?!]
Don't scare me! This is so melodramatic!
【Qin Shu ??? !!! !!! 】
The stage lights changed, and Qin Shu calmly walked onto the stage from one side. The lights shone on him in time, following his every step.
On the vast stage, he is the most eye-catching star.
The black swallowtail coat with its subtle, shimmering pattern exudes nobility and mystery, understated yet luxurious.
His increasingly tall and slender figure made him appear exceptionally elegant.
In the live stream, the ultra-high-definition quality even allowed you to see the fine downy hairs on that delicate face under the lights.
His roguish and aloof demeanor possessed a strange blend of gentlemanly and wandering rogue qualities.
"Hello, Mr. Qin!"
The host was stunned when he saw Qin Shu, and it took him a while to come to his senses. With disbelief, he asked, "Excuse me, do you know Mr. Qin Shu from the Shusong group?"
This is not the reaction one should have, nor is it the line one should have.
But the host was a fan of the winning and losing couple's looks and talent. Qin Shu was even more handsome in person than on TV. With the same name and the same appearance, the host simply couldn't resist.
"It's me."
Qin Shu's voice was calm and serene.
The ancient well was still.
But suddenly, an uproar erupted from the audience!
Who doesn't know the "Win or Lose Couple" who recently went viral? They're practically the hottest stars in the Chinese entertainment industry.
Song Ying, single-handedly, stirred up a storm in the entertainment industry of the capital.
But now, Qin Shu, who was accused of being a gigolo, stands here, transformed into the chairman of the Qin Group...
The female host wasn't the only one excited; the male host was equally surprised.
"Mr. Qin, may I ask why you, as the chairman of the Qin Group, chose to hide your identity and enter the entertainment industry to film variety shows? And I heard that a few days ago, the group you and your wife formed, Shusong, signed with SY Entertainment and announced your official entry into the entertainment industry. Why is that?"
"I participated in the dating reality show before because I didn't want my wife to be wronged. I know she looks down on the ugly girls outside. If you didn't know, you would think she was just sour grapes."
"As for getting into the circle..."
When Qin Shu said this, he looked at Song Ying below the stage.
The camera then turned sharply to Song Ying.
The girl sitting in the audience had a long, slender neck, like a noble and proud white swan.
"I just wanted to be closer to her."
Qin Shu's answer made the female host let out a drawn-out "Wow~":
"This is such an unexpected dose of PDA. We all know that actors spend a lot of time traveling around for gigs, especially those who become famous. They're practically never home a day out of the year. Mr. Qin's willingness to go to such lengths to spend more time with his wife is truly enviable!"
I'm not just envious, I'm dying of jealousy!
Lemons on the lemon tree, you and me under the lemon tree, I won't say who's sour.
[Heaven owes me a Qin Shu QAQ Song Ying must have saved the galaxy in her past life!]
[The early marriage and romance between a top-tier tycoon and his daughter, both exceptionally talented (and wealthy), are truly the epitome of a perfect couple!]
Some people are focusing on the identities of the two individuals.
The fans of the winning and losing couple, as well as Qin Shu's fans, have not forgotten the sarcastic remarks made by some haters before.
So he returned to Yin and Yang, feeling extremely relieved.
[Let some sour grapes take a piss and see who the real sour grapes are, okay?]
[Oh right, our Brother Shu is indeed quite the gigolo. He gave up his trillion-dollar fortune to enter the entertainment industry and rely on his wife's popularity to "make money"~]
[Yes, Brother Shu is indeed not the Crown Prince of Qin. After all, he has already successfully ascended to the throne and become the Chairman of the Qin Group.]
-
Qin Shu's identity was exposed unexpectedly.
The topic quickly rose to the top of the list, and by the end of the event, related topics about the winning and losing couples almost dominated the top ten of the list.
In the face of such explosive news, the female celebrities' stunning looks overshadowed the press releases, and everyone else had to take a backseat.
Before the banquet was over, many people took the initiative to approach Qin Shu to chat.
Among them were quite a few female celebrities who weren't afraid of being criticized. Even when Song Ying was still around, they used work as an excuse to ask Qin Shu for her contact information.
"Sorry, for work-related matters, please contact my boss."
As Qin Shu coldly refused, he raised his hand and clasped Song Ying's fingers together.
The female celebrity, having failed to get a response, could only slink away in embarrassment.
Several people were turned away in succession, and those who had ulterior motives dared not approach again. They could only watch helplessly as Qin Shu left with Song Ying before the ceremony was over—for no other reason than that the road would be blocked if they waited until it was over to go back.
To see their idols, many fans waited around the venue of the fashion event well in advance. Some booked rooms in advance, and some even slept on the streets overnight, all in order to secure a good support spot to promote their idols.
However, Song Ying had already instructed Wen Jinzhao to communicate with the fan club and forbid fans from coming to support her, in order to avoid a stampede.
She never expected that as Qin Shu's identity was revealed, when they came out through the VIP channel, many fans from other groups still recognized them. In the square outside the ceremony, the sound of people calling their names was like a heat wave.
Even after getting on the bus, fans could still be seen waving flags and waving their hands outside.
After the car drove away and Song Ying resumed normal, smooth driving, she finally turned on her phone.
Looking through the trending topics, "They're basically dominating the trending searches right now."
"The real show is about to begin."
Qin Shu tapped the armrest lightly with his fingers.
-
Meanwhile, the VIP lounge at the fashion gala.
Yang Xu leaned back lazily on the sofa, holding a glass of red wine and swirling it gently.
As he moved, the wine-red liquid stained the glass, then quickly slid down and merged into the wine, like blood-red waves rolling in his clapping.
"President Yang, now that the Qin family lad has publicly admitted that he is Qin Shu, he has stolen the limelight at today's fashion gala, and his popularity remains high. Isn't it time for us to make our move?"
"Yes, Mr. Yang, the time you mentioned before has come. What are we waiting for now?"
"I won't feel at ease until this matter is resolved. Mr. Yang, please make a decision quickly!"
Yang Xu frowned slightly and narrowed his eyes.
My gaze remained fixed on the swirling red wine ripples.
"Don't rush, let me think about it some more."
Yang Xu sensed something was amiss.
But I can't quite put my finger on what's wrong with it.
Their method for dealing with Qin Shu was actually quite simple.
Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad.
The higher a person stands, the harder they fall.
Therefore, after Qin Shu rejected their overtures, the news that exposed his identity was released.
Everyone here is an industry leader; sending a message to the top of the trending searches is a piece of cake, isn't it?
They were fully confident that they could expose Qin Shu's true identity before the Qin family found out, and then use that identity to elevate him to the highest level.
If, at this point, it is revealed that he is related to Qian Lai's death, the impact of that privileged killing and the hatred of ordinary people towards the rich will be amplified to the maximum. Whether it is the people behind Qian Lai or Qian Lai's family, they will not let Qin Shu off the hook, and netizens will naturally suspect that Qin Shu is the murderer.
If the police get involved, the Qin family's foundation will be shaken.
With the chairman becoming a murderer, the Qin Group's business and stock will certainly be greatly affected.
This is where the foolish Qin Zhen comes in handy.
What happened next was neither necessary nor required for others to know; Yang Xu had his own plans.
The ideal is just too lofty.
There will always be a gap between reality and expectations.
The few keywords they created earlier did indeed quickly become trending topics.
But soon the rate of increase slowed down.
It's obvious that someone is deliberately suppressing the popularity.
Yang Xu immediately thought of Qin Shu.
Qin Shu's identity is a secret, so he definitely doesn't want others to know.
Strangely, while the topic was indeed being suppressed, it wasn't removed.
Even if it's in the middle position, as long as it keeps appearing on the trending topics page, it's enough to attract a lot of attention.
As expected, netizens began arguing about the veracity of the news, with no one willing to concede.
And this group also includes a large number of Qin Shu's haters.
These people appeared at just the right time.
The fact that they arrived on time seems like it was deliberately arranged.
Indeed, the first person Yang Xu suspected was still Qin Shu.
But this is unreasonable—Qin Shu has no reason to shoot himself in the foot.
Making fun of yourself?
Am I stupid?
This is something Yang Xu couldn't figure out.
But clearly, these trolls and online trolls are to their advantage.
For example, it has maintained the popularity of the entry, and even has a subtle momentum to help the entry go further.
Until the fashion gala.
Qin Shu's popularity was pushed to its extreme.
What was originally thought to be a goal that might require gradual progress was achieved in the blink of an eye.
Yang Xu should have been happy.
But he couldn't feel happy at all.
Everything went too smoothly.
It went so smoothly it felt like a trap.
Yang Xu's pupils dilated suddenly, and his hand holding the wine glass abruptly stopped.
"We have very likely fallen into a trap."
The others were still opening drinks to celebrate the success in advance when they heard Yang Xu's words and froze.
"That sly Qin Shu!"
Yang Xu squinted, then slammed his wine glass down on the glass coffee table, making a clear, crisp sound. "I underestimated him!"
"What's going on? Mr. Yang, what happened?" someone asked hurriedly.
Before Yang Xu could speak, someone exclaimed in surprise:
"New trending topic! Who leaked the news beforehand?!"
-
#In a fit of rage for a beauty, the Crown Prince brutally beats up Qian Lai!
In less than ten minutes, the new term soared to the top of the trending searches, even surpassing the term "Qin Shu's identity".
"President Yang hasn't even given his approval yet, can't you wait a bit? Why are you in such a rush to get it trending on social media?!"
Someone angrily questioned the "pig teammate".
The others were completely baffled.
"I didn't! I've been sitting here the whole time, I haven't even touched my phone."
"I didn't either!"
"My phone is still charging over there! What should we do...?"
Everyone denied the allegations.
Now we're all in the same boat, and if one thing is done, the whole situation will be affected. Who would dare to do anything reckless?
In order to avoid risks and prevent others from being jealous of them for making wrong decisions, those who originally had ideas were deliberately playing dead, only making proposals and not making decisions, handing over the authority to make decisions to Yang Xu.
Similarly, he was the one who bore the brunt of everyone's anger after the incident.
So they have absolutely no reason to do that.
"Who else could it be!"
"Not one of them."
Yang Xu picked up the conversation, picked up the wine glass, drank the red wine in it in one gulp, and threw the empty glass back onto the coffee table.
His voice was deep and cold: "It's Qin Shu."
"Qin Shu? How is that possible!"
"He's not stupid. Doesn't he know Qian Lai just died? Is he trying to get himself killed by revealing this now?
"Only a madman would do that; it could never be him."
"Why couldn't it be him?" Yang Xu coldly swept his gaze over the crowd, his tongue pressed against his back teeth, a pent-up feeling stuck in his chest, as if he couldn't exhale it. "He has obviously guessed our plan."
"The trending topics and trolls this afternoon were obviously orchestrated by someone. We've been guessing that Qin Shu's rivals bought them, but now it seems that he's probably smearing himself."
Everyone present was a business owner in the industry, and upon hearing this, they immediately understood what Yang Xu meant.
"You mean, he guessed that we were trying to elevate him and then use the Qian Lai incident to bring him down, and then bring down the Qin family. So he simply went with the flow, self-deprecatingly raising his profile, and then proactively revealing his identity to maximize the hype?"
But there are still some illogical points. "What's he trying to gain by doing this? And now that he's revealed his connection to Qian Lai, it doesn't benefit him at all, does it?"
"How could there be no benefits?" Yang Xu clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white. "At least, the initiative is in his hands."
