Chapter 16 The Real and Fake Young Masters Appear in the News
The next morning, Wen Yue was still woken up by the system notification sound.
The heat of Wen Rongsheng being cuckolded and becoming a father has not yet passed. The front page headlines of major newspapers this morning are all related to this incident, and TV media also broadcast related reports. Many people who were slow to get the news have only contributed their melon-eating value now .
As of the time when Wen Yue woke up, the melon-eating value she gained from this melon has exceeded 250,000.
Although there are millions of people in Hong Kong, and many people have not eaten the melon, but considering the timeliness of the news, Wen Yue thinks that the melon-eating value should be between 300,000 and 350,000.
Unless there is a new explosive point later, it will be difficult to have a major breakthrough.
But Wen Yue was not disappointed. Strictly speaking, this was only the first melon she had led everyone to eat. It was already very good to earn more than 300,000 melon points.
If each subsequent melon could earn hundreds of thousands of melon points, she could lead others to eat a hundred melons and live to eighty or ninety years old. At the current rate of melons, she might be able to complete the task in a year.
Well, this might be a bit idealistic, but if one year doesn't work, three years will do. Her future is still promising.
Breakfast was prepared according to Yi Huai's taste, and there were many kinds, including soy milk, fried dough sticks, and steamed wheat dumplings.
Before the meal, Yi Huai specifically said, "If you are not used to it, you can tell the housekeeper, and he will arrange it according to your taste."
Chinese breakfast is exactly what Wen Yue wants, and she quickly said, "No, it's good to eat these, no need to adjust it for me."
In fact, she can also ask the servant to prepare Chinese breakfast at home. Anyway, the system did not ask her not to collapse her character, and her current style of doing things is not exactly the same as her original body.
It's just that Wen Yue feels that although her original body has a scumbag father, she has never suffered in the process of growing up, and according to the description of the system, she is actually a bit self-centered and her personality is not weak. Even
if her style of doing things has become stronger, it is not easy to see, not to mention that before she came here, her original body had not seen the Wen family or Yi Huai for a long time. A few months or even longer is enough to make a person's personality change drastically. Her change is not abrupt.
Tastes are different, many people still like the things they loved when they were young.
Even if changes occur, these changes are subtle, maybe a dish that you liked before is not so popular now, or a food that you didn’t like before may be okay after trying it one day, but you won’t say that I only liked Western breakfast yesterday, but I fell in love with soy milk and fried dough sticks today.
What’s more, the servants in the Repulse Bay Villa have been living with the original body day and night for three years. In front of them, Wen Yue is much more careful than in front of the Wen family and Yi Huai.
This is also one of the reasons why Wen Yue moved to No. 27 Shi Xun Road.
She needs to distance herself from the servants in the Repulse Bay Villa so that when she moves back, all the changes will seem natural.
Yi Huai didn't know what Wen Yue was thinking, and seeing that she didn't look reluctant, he stopped forcing her.
After breakfast, he called the two bodyguards assigned to Wen Yue to the living room, briefly introduced them to both parties, and then went out to the company.
One of the two bodyguards that Yi Huai temporarily lent to Wen Yue was □□, who drove her car yesterday.
□□ looked the youngest among the few people, but his resume was not bad. He had won second-class merit in the army and had a bright future. He had to change his career because he injured his leg during a mission.
After changing his career, he joined a good unit. If Yi Huai hadn't offered a high price, he might not be willing to quit his job to become a bodyguard.
The other person's surname is He. He is seven or eight years older than □□ and he was demobilized earlier. Because of bad luck, the unit he was demobilized to went bankrupt within a few years, and he became a laid-off worker.
But his skills were well maintained, and he was a detective in the army. Not long after he was demobilized, he was poached by Yi Huai High-tech.
Wen Yue was very satisfied with these two people, but Yi Huai just lent them to her, and she couldn't give them a higher salary right away, so she just said a few polite words, hoping that they would work hard in the future and protect her personal safety.
After that, Wen Yue took two bodyguards to the villa in Repulse Bay to busy themselves with moving matters.
In fact, Wen Yue had money, so she didn't have to do anything about moving.
But the original body had too many clothes and shoes. These alone filled up a cloakroom of nearly a thousand square feet, not to mention that she also liked to collect bags and various jewelry. If
all these things were moved over, the room that Butler Liu arranged for her would definitely not be big enough.
Wen Yue didn't want to trouble Butler Liu to arrange a few more rooms for her clothes. First, she couldn't wear all the clothes and shoes if she didn't wear the same ones 365 days a year. Second, it was a problem whether she and Yi Huai could get along well. If she moved over now with great fanfare, it would be so embarrassing if she had to move back in a few years.
So Wen Yue thought that she only needed to pack up some of the clothes, shoes, jewelry and bags and move over. As for which ones to choose, of course she had to choose by herself.
In Wen Yue's plan, it should be easy to choose these. After all, she has good taste. Except for a few high-end brand bags, she really can't appreciate them. She thinks other clothes are pretty good,
so she can just choose blindly. But it is precisely because they are all good-looking that the selection process is endless. After all, she wants every piece of clothing and every piece of jewelry, but there is not enough space to put them all, so she naturally has to hesitate.
Wen Yue was busy with this matter all morning, and even delayed lunch until one o'clock.
Because Yi Huai was born in Shanghai, and later moved to Guangdong Province with his parents for a few years, the chef is also good at the dishes of these two places.
There was a delicious sweet and sour pork ribs dish for lunch, and Wen Yue finished most of it by herself. By the end of the meal, her stomach was almost bloated, so she had to put down her chopsticks and disappear into the garden.
When she walked to the edge of the swimming pool, the system voice suddenly rang: [Host, Lin Yongkang has arranged to meet the driver who killed Chen A-mei in the original novel! ]
Wen Yue stopped and asked: [Have they met yet? ]
[No, both parties are heading to the agreed place. ]
After about ten minutes, the system said: [The driver has arrived. ]
After a few minutes, the system said again: [Lin Yongkang has also arrived. 】
A few minutes later, the system suddenly said: 【It turns out that the driver's son is ill and he can't afford the medical expenses. Lin Yongkang said that as long as he agrees to do as he says and hit Chen A-mei to death, his son's name will be added to the list of beneficiaries of the Lin family's charity foundation. 】
【The driver was very hesitant. Lin Yongkang persuaded him and asked him whether he really wanted his son to live. He also said that Hong Kong passed a bill to abolish the death penalty last year, and as long as he didn't flee after hitting someone, and took the initiative to call the police, and then asked the media to publicize that he was driving while tired and caused the car accident in order to raise money for his son's medical expenses, he might not be sentenced to more than a few years in prison in the end. 】
【The driver agreed! 】
[They agreed to take action on the night of three days later.]
After listening to the system's oral live broadcast, Wen Yue asked in confusion: [Did Lin Yongkang hire two groups of people to kill Chen A-mei and the real Master respectively?]
[Yes.]
[When will he find the second group of people?]
Although Wen Yue has not read many stories about real and fake Masters/Daughters, she roughly knows the routine. In this kind of story, no matter what the reason for the two people's misunderstanding, after their backgrounds are revealed, the rich family will definitely be reluctant to give up the fake Master/Daughter, and propose to raise the two children together. In the subsequent process of getting along, they will favor the fake Master/Daughter, making the real Master/Daughter suffer all kinds of grievances until they become discouraged.
Although Lin Yongkang was a fake young master, and Chen Amei, who replaced him with the real young master, was his real grandmother, he did something like hiring a murder case in order to avoid exposing his background.
But who knows if the shipping tycoon and his wife can handle it? What if they can't let go of their relationship of more than 30 years, and they know that he hired a murder case, but still treat him as a good son and hire a lawyer for him?
The lawyers that such a wealthy family can hire must be the top lawyers in Hong Kong. It's not surprising that they turned the dead into the living Wen Yue, not to mention that it was just an attempted murder case, and maybe he won't have to stay in jail for long in the end.
The best way to completely alienate the relationship between the Lin family and Lin Yongkang is to get evidence that he hired someone to murder the real young master. On the one hand, there is the fake son who killed his own son in order to conceal his life experience, and on the other hand, there is the real son who was swapped and almost killed since childhood.
As long as one of the shipping tycoon and his wife has a normal outlook on life, they would not bother to exonerate Lin Yongkang.
But unfortunately, the system replied: [According to the original timeline, it should be after Chen Amei's death. ]
Wen Yue did not expect that after avoiding a choice, she would face a second choice.
But this time, the weight on the other side of the scale was half less, and only Chen Amei's life remained.
Judging from the fact that Chen A-mei swapped the identities of two children for her own selfish reasons, she is definitely not a good person. Moreover, it was her great grandson who wanted to kill her. She deserved this fate.
But...
even if Chen A-mei is guilty, she should be judged by the law, not by an individual to judge whether she should live or die.
Moreover, if she allows a living person to be killed in order to earn tens or hundreds of thousands of melon points, then what is the difference between her and the executioner? She
wants to live, but only if she can do it uprightly.
She also wants to earn as much melon points as possible, but only if the source of these melon points is clean.
Thinking of this, Wen Yue said: [Give me evidence.]
...
Huang Zhihao has been very busy these past two days.
After hanging up the phone with Wen Yue yesterday, he went to the Jockey Club headquarters to receive the award. After
receiving the award, he originally wanted to go to see the house first, but on the way he remembered Wen Yue's words, so he changed his mind and went to his daughter's school, took her to see the house together, and told the teacher to contact him as soon as possible if anyone was looking for his daughter.
Huang Zhihao originally thought that he was just in case, but he didn't expect that just after school in the afternoon, he received a call from the teacher and learned that a middle-aged man said that he was busy with work and asked him to help pick up his daughter from school.
After hearing the teacher's description of the middle-aged man's appearance, Huang Zhihao knew who this person was and felt very sad.
Although the phone call that night basically allowed him to recognize the other party, he always felt that after more than ten years of friends, the other party would not do too much, but he didn't expect that the other party actually wanted to use his daughter to threaten him!
Huang Zhihao later received a call from the other party, but he didn't answer it. He didn't dare go back to sleep at night. He found a relatively high-end hotel to live in. He planned to buy a house and contact the landlord to cancel the lease and move in .
The school didn't dare to let his daughter go. He planned to transfer her to another school after finding a good house. He had no choice but to take her to work these days.
In fact, Wen Yue gave Huang Zhihao three days off, asking him to finish his own business before coming to the company.
But the newspaper that was issued yesterday sold too well. Before noon, 30,000 copies of the newspaper were sold out.
Yes, there may be a factor of free newspapers, but the effect is also obvious. From yesterday to today, whether it is entertainment news on TV or entertainment newspapers, the front-page headlines are almost all related to Wen Rongsheng becoming a father.
When he came to work in the morning, several old men and women who were eating at Ho Kee Ice House downstairs were discussing whether the fourth wife, who has not appeared yet, was still angry after the scandal was exposed.
His phone has not stopped ringing in the past two days. Old friends have congratulated him, old neighbors have asked him about the inside story, and some people who originally wanted to poach him but said they needed to consider it called him to say that they wanted to meet and discuss formally.
The above are still secondary. The important thing is that their "Dongjiang Entertainment News" can't even get advertisements for Indian God Oil, so they have to stop the advertising space cruelly. Today, after two years and four months, someone finally contacted the newspaper company and called to express their desire to place an advertisement!
Moreover, there are more than one person who called to place an advertisement, and the products they want to advertise are not those low-end things.
It's not easy!
"Okay, okay, I'll give you an answer later."
After hanging up another call from an advertiser, Huang Zhihao stood up from his stool excitedly, clenched his right fist and waved it vigorously, causing the little girl sitting next to him to look up and look at him with a puzzled look.
"Ahem."
Huang Zhihao coughed twice, "You continue to do your homework, Dad is just too happy."
The little girl said "oh" and lowered her head to continue doing her homework.
Huang Zhihao sat back at his desk after the excitement, picked up a pen and wrote down the information of the advertiser who had just called on the registration form. After writing it down, he took the registration form and looked at it for a while. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that Wen Yue was wise.
Before, she said that this temporary printed issue of the newspaper was free and would be given away for free. He thought she was crazy. Who would have thought that she had a big news in her hand and had
already planned it. Huang Zhihao was very suspicious. Wen Yue might have anticipated this day.
Compared with selling advertising space, the little money lost from giving away newspapers for free is nothing. Haven’t you seen that "Headline Daily" and "Metropolitan Weekly" are free with such high sales? What is the reason for their growing bigger and bigger? Of course, it is the advertisers!
As expected of the daughter of the richest man, her mind is smarter than those ordinary people!
Huang Zhihao thought about it and became worried again. They have limited advertising space in the newspaper. With so many advertisements, which ones should be published and which ones should be excluded?
Moreover, these advertisers came to us with the intention of selling the latest issue of the newspaper. What if the next issue doesn't sell as well?
It's really worrying!
Fortunately, Huang Zhihao didn't worry for long before he received a call from Wen Yue, who told him that she would come over in the afternoon to discuss the next issue of the newspaper.
Thinking of the news about the richest man that Wen Yue brought last time, Huang Zhihao was instantly excited. Although he thought rationally that even a wealthy family would not have such explosive news every now and then, but -
what if?
With this thought in mind, when he heard the noise and went out to greet Wen Yue, Huang Zhihao smiled with his teeth showing: "Miss Wen, you are here -?" His
eyes wandered around the two men in black suits behind Wen Yue, and Huang Zhihao asked in doubt, "Who are these two?" "
My bodyguards, I will bring them with me when I come here recently." Wen Yue said, and then introduced Huang Zhihao and Sister Fang to the two.
Huang Zhihao also called out from the office and introduced him to Wen Yue.
Huang Zhihao's daughter looked a bit like him, but her facial features were more delicate, her skin was fair, her eyes were big, and she looked very cute. The little girl was not shy at all, and she was very generous when she called people, which was very likable.
Wen Yue liked the cute little girl, smiled and touched her head, and then went into the office with Huang Zhihao.
After entering the office, Huang Zhihao first reported on the work progress of the past few days: "There have been many reporters applying for the position in the past two days, but they are basically newcomers. I have recorded two good ones. One of them has started reporting with Sister Yun today, and the other will come to report the day after tomorrow. In addition, the friend I told you before who is interested called me this morning and said that he would agree to come if the salary increase could reach 30%. "
Although Huang Zhihao's vision is average, he has basic abilities. After listening, Wen Yue said: "You decide on the recruitment of ordinary reporters yourself. What important news has your friend broken?"
Huang Zhihao quickly cited several examples. Wen Yue queried the system in her mind and learned that one of the news did cause a sensation. Although the other news was not so explosive, they all drove a lot of sales for the newspapers published. She then asked what the other party required as the minimum salary.
Seeing that there was hope, Huang Zhihao quickly quoted a number.
Compared with the existing reporters in the newspaper company, the salary requirement was indeed not low, but considering that the other party was a well-known reporter and had been producing continuously in the past two years, it was not surprising to make such a request.
After consideration, Wen Yue said, "Okay. From now on, it's up to you to decide whether to keep or leave employees who earn no more than twice this salary. But the prerequisite is that the people who come here must have output. There can't be such a thing as just taking salary without working."
Huang Zhihao was of course happy to get more power. He patted his chest and guaranteed, "Don't worry, Miss Wen, I will strictly check every new employee!"
"Okay, and you can hire two more administrative people to be responsible for basic recruitment."
"No problem." "
Anything else?"
"Yes!" Huang Zhihao quickly took out the registration form, handed it to Wen Yue, and said, "This is the list of advertisers who called the company in the past two days and wanted to place advertisements in our newspaper."
Wen Yue opened the registration form and took a quick look. She found that the advertiser information registration was as long as three pages, and the advertising fees were higher at the end. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "So many advertisers contacted us?"
"This shows that you have a long-term vision," Huang Zhihao said with admiration, "When you made the decision to sell for free, you must have expected this day, right?"
That's not true.
At that time, she just wanted to make a loss and earn more melon value to save her life. Other things? She didn't think about it.
But seeing Huang Zhihao's expression of "you must have predicted it long ago", the words on her lips were a little hard to say. Wen Yue coughed twice, and with the help of the system's golden finger, she circled a few advertisers and said, "After all, we are a newspaper. Accepting all advertisements will easily lower the grade and readers' perception will not be good. You should contact these advertisers first to see if you can reach a cooperation."
Wait, they are a gossip newspaper, the grade itself is not very high, right?
The boss said so, Huang Zhihao certainly would not object. Looking at the advertisers circled by Wen Yue, most of them called today.
The things they want to advertise are indeed better, and the advertising fees are higher. One bill can cover several advertising fees that called yesterday. However, their requirements are also higher. Basically, there are sales volume requirements. If it is not enough, the corresponding amount will be refunded.
Huang Zhihao was afraid that Wen Yue didn't see the note, so he repeated it and reminded her.
"No problem, but the sales volume needs to be renegotiated."
"What do you mean?" "
Print 100,000 copies of the next issue of the newspaper."
Huang Zhihao was surprised: "So many?"
Compared with the print volume of the previous issue of the newspaper, 100,000 is certainly a lot, but judging from the popularity of the previous melon, Wen Yue felt that the news of the eldest son of the shipping tycoon being replaced, Wen Yue felt that 100,000 free newspapers should not be a problem to sell.
And her ultimate goal is to lead others to eat melons and earn melon value, and making money is just a by-product. Of course, the higher the print volume of newspapers, the better.
She had just received 4.6 million from Wen Rongsheng, so she was not short of money. She was conservative in setting the printing volume at 100,000 copies.
Wen Yue said with certainty, "Yes, 100,000 copies. Contact them today and ask them to give you a reply before 6 o'clock. No more." As
the number of prints increased, the advertising costs would naturally increase as well, and this was not just a doubling, but a tripling or more. The advertisers in Wen Yue's circle had already offered high prices, but suddenly they were told that the advertising fees would be multiplied several times, and they had to give a reply before six o'clock...
Huang Zhihao asked, "Isn't this time too tight?"
Wen Yue said, "The new issue of the newspaper will be on the market tomorrow morning, and I have given them plenty of time."
Their newspapers are indeed on the market every Friday. Because of the adjustment of the salary system, everyone worked very hard this week. Although they didn't dig up particularly big news, it was enough to support the scene.
It's just that the quantity is a little lacking, and it is estimated that they will have to buy some news from their peers to make up for it.
It's just that... Huang Zhihao said embarrassedly, "Ms. Wen, it is estimated that it will be a bit difficult for us to sell 100,000 copies of the new issue of the newspaper."
Let alone 100,000 copies, 30,000 copies are enough to make a profit.
He did not reply to those advertisers immediately on the phone for this reason. He was unsure!
But thinking about the past few days of dealing with her, Huang Zhihao felt that Wen Yue was not one of those dandies who were arrogant and did things without thinking. She dared to let him print 100,000 copies of newspapers. She must be sure in her heart.
Thinking of this, Huang Zhihao's eyes lit up: "Miss Wen, do you have big news in your hands?"
"Indeed, there is a big news."
Wen Yue took out the envelope from her bag while speaking. Huang Zhihao opened it and saw a paternity test, another paternity test, two photos, and three tapes.
When the parent-child confirmation was opened, the customer information was not complete, and only A, B, and C were used to represent it. A and B were not father and son, and B and C were confirmed to be father and son. Huang
