Chapter 52 Interview
As soon as they got in the car, Wen Yue asked about Zhou Jinlong's specific situation.
Although she didn't suffer any loss just now and she even cursed back, she was very unhappy when she thought that she had wasted the whole morning on a greasy man.
Looking at this situation, it is estimated that the cooperation will not be negotiated. Since Lirong Department Store can't make money from Zhou Jinlong, let her make some money.
You don't know if you don't know. When you know it, Zhou Jinlong's life when he was young was really wonderful!
Double X is child's play for him. He can't even find a lover seven days a week to keep him, and he has maintained long-term relationships with several married women.
這也就算了, 他還總喜歡去人家裏約會, 在綠帽苦主頭頂撒野, 導致發生過幾次被人堵在卧室痛揍的經歷。
有一次他在情人家裏跟人運動到一半,女方丈夫突然回來, 他衣服都沒時間穿, 光着腚從窗戶爬了出去,亮瞎女方左右鄰居的眼睛。
得虧這時候科技不夠發達,手機沒有照相功能,一般人家裏也很少有照相機, 否則“咔嚓”一聲,妥妥的黑歷史。
不過沒關系, 當時沒人拍到照片,系統可以幫忙搞到, 保管過陣子各大媒體人手一張周金龍靓照。
Compared to these rich experiences, Zhou Jinlong's relationship with his sister-in-law is not that... no, it's still quite infuriating.
Zhou Jinlong's wife is Fu Wenfang. There are two sisters in the Fu family, the younger one is Fu Wenli.
Like Fu Wenfang, Fu Wenli also started dating in high school, but Fu Wenfang was obviously smarter. She knew how to protect herself and never did anything out of line. She didn't give up her studies during the relationship and finally successfully entered university.
Fu Wenli got pregnant before she was an adult. Her family asked her to have an abortion and break up, but she refused and moved out to live with her boyfriend and dropped out of school.
At that time, Fu Wenli and her boyfriend were both under 20 years old. It was difficult for them to support themselves, let alone have more children, so they quarreled frequently and finally turned into fights.
Of course, Fu Wenli couldn't beat her boyfriend, so the fight turned into one-sided domestic violence.
About ten years ago, Fu Wenli couldn't stand such a marriage anymore and decided to divorce. Because she didn't dare to go back to her parents' home, Fu Wenfang took her home.
Originally, the two sisters said it was a short-term transition, but as they lived together, the short-term stay turned into a permanent stay. Then during this period, Zhou Jinlong and Fu Wenli hooked up together.
In fact, Fu Wenli's appearance is not as good-looking as Fu Wenfang. Although she is young, she has been subjected to domestic violence for many years after marriage, and because of her difficult life, she can't take care of herself, so she looks a few years older than her sister .
But when men want to cheat, beauty is secondary, they just want this kind of excitement.
Of course, there is not much sincerity, so once he was caught, Zhou Jinlong pushed all the responsibility to Fu Wenli, saying that she seduced him.
Fu Wenli was naturally heartbroken and desperate, but Zhou Jinlong didn't care about her at all. He knelt down and hugged Fu Wenfang's legs and cried, saying that he was possessed by ghosts, and begged her not to divorce for the sake of the child.
Fu Wenfang finally chose to compromise and forgave Zhou Jinlong for the sake of the child.
Then the couple gave Fu Wenli a sum of money and sent her abroad, and the matter was over.
Wen Yue was speechless for a long time after listening: [This result... is also quite realistic. ]
[Yes. ]
[Zhou Jinlong changed after this incident, oh, no,] Thinking of Zhou Jinlong's greasy appearance just now, Wen Yue shook her head and said, [Starting to pretend? ]
[Almost. ]
[What was the opportunity? ]
[He is no longer able to do it. 】
【I don't think that's a reason. 】
It's the same old saying, even eunuchs can have such tricks, not to mention Zhou Jinlong who can only get up for a few seconds. And if Zhou Jinlong really changed his mind, how to explain what he said on the court? He
couldn't be joking.
That look and tone didn't sound like a joke at all.
Since his repentance was fake, Zhou Jinlong must have a reason for doing this... Wen Yue suddenly remembered: 【When did Zhou Jinlong and Fu Wenfang's love story start to be combined with brand marketing? 】
In the era when Wen Yue traveled through time, many brands would combine love with marketing, such as a certain chocolate, and a certain brand's ring slogan was to only give it to one person in a lifetime.
But in this era, it's hard to say about foreign countries, but not many domestic brands do this.
The publicity of Hong Kong's gold brands is more focused on brand history, workmanship and materials. Zhou Fujin is one of the few brands that has successfully combined love marketing.
The system answered: [About ten years ago.]
[When did Zhou Fujin become popular?]
[Zhou Jinlong took over Zhou Fujin and changed his name to take advantage of the popularity. He became popular...nine or ten years ago?] Because there is no clear concept of popularity, the system is not sure.
But it is enough.
Wen Yue said: [So Zhou Jinlong really settled down, not because he is not good enough, but for the benefit. The so-called model couple, the good man who is devoted to his wife, is nothing but a bundled marketing.]
She said that Zhou Jinlong had so many lovers that he could have a harem, and his feelings for his wife did not seem so deep. How could he hold Fu Wenfang's legs and cry with laughter after being caught?
You should know that the laws in Hong Kong are different from those in the Mainland. In the Mainland, all the money earned after marriage is considered common property. Therefore, those who start a business after marriage and have some unfaithful behavior after becoming rich dare not make too much trouble, otherwise they may lose half of their wealth.
In Hong Kong, there is no such thing as common property. Even if the money is earned after marriage, it belongs to whoever earns it. At most, if one party is unable to make a living, the other party may be ordered to pay alimony at the discretion of the court.
Wen Yue sometimes feels that the reason why Peng Lifen, Fu Wenfang and others are unwilling to divorce may be largely because of the marriage system in Hong Kong.
Think about it, when you finally accompany a man to make a fortune, but after the divorce because of his cheating, he will be on the rich list, and how much money you can get depends on his conscience.
This... is something no one can accept, so it's better to drag it on.
In short, under this marriage system, Zhou Jinlong doesn't have to worry about divorce at all. He has limited feelings for Fu Wenfang, so why did he kneel down and beg for mercy after being caught?
It must be because of benefits!
And this benefit is probably that the love marketing between him and Fu Wenfang has driven the brand value-added.
Maybe at this time, Zhou Jinlong still wanted to stabilize Fu Wenfang for a while, but as the Zhou Fujin brand and their love story became more and more deeply tied, he could no longer get off this boat. No matter how many philanderings he had, he could only endure and be a model husband.
People can pretend for a day or even a month, but it is difficult to pretend for a year or even ten years. In these ten years, Zhou Jinlong may not dare to really cheat, but there must be times when he was verbally philandering.
It is difficult to expose verbal philandering. People who are not familiar with him cannot always carry a recorder, and people who are familiar with him can use jokes to get away with it.
Wen Yue asked the system to check the news related to Zhou Jinlong in the past ten years.
Sure enough, every two or three years, there would be women who Zhou Jinlong had cheated on or kept, who would come out to accuse him, but these people were either PR-ed out or had no evidence, and were all dismissed as fabricated news, without attracting much attention.
So although the rumors have been around, Zhou Jinlong's image as a model husband has been maintained to this day.
But that's it...ah, maybe it will last another three months.
Although the contract extension has not been discussed, Zhou Fujin will officially withdraw until January next year, and the store can generate a day's revenue for Lirong Department Store in one day.
It's not appropriate to expose him now.
But some people are more shameless than expected. Before Wen Yue made a move, Zhou Jinlong splashed dirty water on her.
When he was interviewed by a TV personality, he deliberately mentioned that Zhou Fujin would withdraw from Lirong Department Store. He mentioned the reason in an ambiguous way: "Young girls nowadays are not practical and only know how to take shortcuts. I only love my wife and have no interest in other people, so I have to decline the cooperation!"
The interview was broadcast on TV at 2 pm, and Wen Yue received the news at about 2:30.
At that time, she had just finished a long-distance call and was unhappy. When she heard about this, she was furious and wondered if she had poked a scumbag's nest! Otherwise, how could these hateful men come to her in droves?
Another hateful man is Xu Tianyang. Yes, that's right, he is the scumbag who has been ambiguous with the original body for several years.
If a good ex should be like dead, then Xu Tianyang is definitely the kind who often steals corpses.
Before Wen Yue came here, he kept the original body hanging like a dog for many years. Every time the original body wanted to withdraw, he would feed her a meat bone to coax her. When the original body was in love, he would stay away from her silently and painfully say that there was no possibility for them.
Although the metaphor is unpleasant, it is absolutely vivid. There is a special term for this kind of dog training, called PUA.
So when Wen Yue learned that the caller was Xu Tianyang, her first reaction was that the scumbag felt that he had hung the original body enough and it was time to give her a candy to coax her.
So she answered the phone without hesitation.
The content of the phone call was unexpected.
In fact, when the call was just connected, Xu Tianyang was indeed waving his head at Wen Yue, saying that he had seen the video of her beating Ye Tianhua, and asked her with a smile how
she could be so good, and why she had never mentioned before that she could sing Wing Chun? He also said that he knew she had joined Lirong Department Store and was promoted to president, and he thought she was so good and was very happy for her, and then he confessed affectionately: "I feel relieved to see that you are living so well after leaving me, cough cough..."
After coughing, he didn't hear Wen Yue move, and coughed heavily twice more.
Seeing that he was coughing hard, Wen Yue kindly asked, "Is there something you want to talk about?"
"No, nothing." Xu Tianyang lowered his voice on the other end of the phone, deliberately creating a subwoofer effect, "I just miss you."
Wen Yue heard this and said "Oh" expressionlessly, "But I don't miss you that much. I've been doing well in the past few months without contact with you. The sky is bluer, the water is clearer, and the whole world is better."
The person on the other end of the phone seemed to be shocked, and asked after a long time, "Really?"
"Really?" Wen Yuewo said, sitting on a leather chair that cost tens of thousands of yuan, crossing her legs. "I was too stupid before, so I hung myself on you, but now I've come to terms with it. Love is nothing. Billions of dollars of assets are more important. In order to fight for the assets, I'm very busy every day. I don't have time to think about you, let alone contact you. So if you have a conscience, don't contact me in the future, okay?"
"Cough cough cough..."
The person on the other end of the phone coughed loudly. After a while, Xu Tianyang recovered and said in a painful voice: "I know that you are doing well and I shouldn't disturb you, but I, but I... I keep thinking about our past recently. We were still studying at that time. There was no difference in identity or status. How wonderful it was! I thought we would be so good all our lives, but who knew that you... you got married just after graduation."
Wen Yue was about to vomit after hearing what she heard. She thought, the original body didn't want to get married, but are you, a scumbag, willing to take her away?
But thinking that Xu Tianyang's purpose had not been figured out yet, she continued to flatter him and said in a faint voice: "If you were willing to take me away, we would be married."
"Yes, it's all my cowardice! I didn't dare to take you away, so I lost you forever, cough cough cough," the person on the other end of the phone roared, then started coughing violently, and continued in a slightly weak voice, "Ayue, I know you blame me, and I also blame myself. I have regretted it all these years, cough cough cough..."
Wen Yue seemed to finally notice his cough and asked, "What's wrong with you? Why are you coughing all the time?"
"Nothing."
"Really?"
"Really," he paused, as if he didn't want to hide it any longer and chose to tell the truth, "Actually, I'm sick. I've been having a fever and coughing these days. Sometimes before I go to bed, I think I'll never wake up again and never see you again."
Xu Tianyang paused here, and after seven or eight seconds he revealed his ultimate goal, "Ayue, I want to see you."
"Oh?" Wen Yue became interested and asked, "How do you want to see me?" Xu
Tianyang asked hesitantly, "Can you... come to London to see me?"
Wen Yue adjusted her posture, rested her hand on the desk, and looked out the window, saying, "London? It's so far away. Didn't I just tell you? I'm very busy now and don't have time to go to London."
Xu Tianyang said in a low voice on the other end of the phone, "But I really, really want to see you."
"But I don't want to see you that much." Wen Yue said with a smile.
"A Yue..."
Wen Yue nodded and reminded: "Mr. Xu, please make one thing clear. Now it is you who still likes me and wants to see me, not me who still likes you and wants to see you."
"In my opinion, the one who loves more deeply should give more. So if you want to see me, then try your best to buy a plane ticket back to Hong Kong. As for me," Wen Yue emphasized, "this person who no longer loves you will absolutely, absolutely not waste time to go to London to see you. Of course, if you can return to Hong Kong, I should be merciful and meet you for your sincerity."
The other end of the phone was silent for a long time after hearing what he said. Maybe he didn't understand. Wen Yue kindly concluded: "That's all I have to say. Goodbye, Mr. Xu. Take care of your health and return to Hong Kong."
After saying that, Wen Yue hung up the phone without waiting for the other end to speak.
The system, which had heard the whole thing, immediately flattered him and said: [Wow! Host, you were so cool just now! But why did you trick him into returning to Hong Kong? ]
[What do you mean by tricking? I just gave him a choice, okay? He really tricked me by asking me to go to London. ]
As for why Xu Tianyang was asked to return to Hong Kong, it was very simple. His original body died in the UK. God knows what will be waiting for her after she lands in London.
Wen Yue cherishes her life. She will never fall into the trap and go to the UK.
But she also wanted to find out the cause of death of the original body.
After all, she occupied the body of the original body, so she had to do something for her. Although according to her guess, the original body was most likely killed by Xu Tianyang and Wen Jiaxin, all problems will be solved when Wen Jiaxin returns to China.
The information that can be obtained from a single perspective is definitely not as complete and rich as that from a double perspective. It happened that Xu Tianyang called at this time, and she would be wrong if she didn't fish for him.
Wen Yue felt that Xu Tianyang had a high probability of being hooked. The timing
of his call was too coincidental.
A few days after she came back from worshiping her ancestors, Xu Tianyang jumped out and asked her to go to London to see him on the pretext of being sick.
If this matter had nothing to do with Wen Jiaxin, Wen Yue would write the name upside down.
Since they are related, Xu Tianyang will definitely come back.
Wen Yue doesn't know why Wen Jiaxin let Xu Tianyang hang on to her original body, but when she learned that she went to the ancestral hall to worship her ancestors, Wen Jiaxin's first reaction was to let Xu Tianyang come forward, which shows that there is no way to deal with her.
In this case, how could Wen Jiaxin not call Xu Tianyang to go with her when she returned to China.
What a good tool man!
Although the plan failed this time and Xu Tianyang failed to persuade her to go to London, Wen Jiaxin might think that it was because they relaxed too much that the kite got out of line. Maybe after he returns to Hong Kong and sees the real person, she will be hooked again.
After all, she has loved him for so many years, how can she let go just like that.
And she just needs to wait in Hong Kong.
Although Wen Yue had the upper hand in the call with Xu Tianyang, she couldn't stand his disgusting remarks. Before she could recover, Vivian came in and told her that Zhou Jinlong had hinted that she seduced him.
Wen Yue almost thought she had misheard. It took her a long time to come to her senses. She pointed at herself and asked, "Zhou Jinlong said I seduced him?"
"...Yes." Seeing Wen Yue's bad face, Vivian was very cautious.
Wen Yue laughed angrily.
But she didn't get angry with Vivian. She just calmly asked her to get the videotape.
About half an hour later, Vivian got the videotape. Wen Yue got up and went to the lounge to play it on the TV inside.
After Chen Jikang's things were taken away, Wen Yue had the lounge renovated. She had money, so she naturally used high-end materials and didn't have to worry about chemicals, so she started taking a nap in there after the ventilation was turned on for a few days.
However, the TV had been there when Chen Jikang was there. Wen Yue was so busy every day that she was lucky to get a half-hour nap at noon. She had no time to watch TV.
This was the first time she had turned on the TV since she moved to the president's office on the top floor.
The TV was 32 inches, which was considered a large screen in that era. The picture was in color, and although the pixels were not as high as those in later generations, the subtle expressions of the characters could be seen.
Looking at Zhou Jinlong's expression pretending to be nonchalant on TV, and listening to Wen Yue's sneer in her ears, Vivian didn't dare to turn her head to look.
Vivian didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the topic came to an end. She turned to look at Wen Yue and asked, "Mr. Wen, do we need to make a statement now?"
"No need." Wen Yue said as she walked to the French window in the lounge and looked down.
Although the headquarters of the Regent Department Store is located above the mall, the entrance and exit are not through the same door. It is obvious that the reporters in Hong Kong are well aware of this matter. Only an hour into the program, more than a dozen reporters have gathered downstairs.
Moving further away, three or four more reporters ran over while Wen Yue was standing over.
Wen Yue saw this and said, "Don't worry about this matter. Tell them not to speak when you meet reporters. I'll handle it."
"Okay." Vivian agreed and turned to leave the lounge.
Wen Yue did not move, but stood there and said to the system: "I want evidence of Zhou Jinlong's cheating."
The system asked: [Which part do you want? ]
[The part where he was caught cheating by his lover's husband, climbed out of the window with his bare bottom, climbed over the wall and stepped on the water pipe. ] Wen Yue thought for a while and said, [I want a video, shot outside. ]
[The video is worth 50,000. ]
[So expensive? ] Wen Yue had never bought a video before, and frowned and said, [The paternity appraisal and the inspection report are only worth 10,000 after discount. ]
The system replied: [The technology is different. ]
[Okay, half price, 25,000? ]
The system wanted to say no discount, but it had never said anything about Wen Yue since it was bound to her, so it had to answer: [Yes. ]
[A video evidence, and a few photos of him dating different lovers. ]
[On the bed or under the bed? 】
【Uh...under the bed, I'm afraid it will burn my eyes. 】Although the video is probably also very eye-catching, Wen Yue thought about it and asked again, [Has Zhou Jinlong been to the hospital for a check-up? 】 【He
has, but it was several years ago. 】
【It's okay, give me another medical report. 】It doesn't matter if it was a few years ago. It's not like other diseases. If it doesn't work for one day, it's likely that it won't work for the rest of his life.
And it doesn't matter whether Zhou Jinlong is able to do it now. What's important is that with the medical report, the citizens of Hong Kong will think that he is not able to do it.
Wen Yue spent tens of thousands to buy a few pieces of information, and it was worth it. Fortunately, she earns a lot more now, and spending tens of thousands... well, it still hurts.
But to get revenge on Zhou Jinlong, it's worth it!
If she dares to splash dirty water on her, she will make him be pointed at and said to be incompetent for the rest of his life!
Wen Yue originally wanted to hand the information over to Huang Zhihao to be published by two newspapers under Dongjiang Newspapers, but she held back when she thought that Zhou Fujin's contract had not yet ended.
Zhou Jinlong was too narrow-minded, so he threw dirty water on his partner during the interview, but she couldn't do the same, otherwise it would be easily misinterpreted as revenge against the merchants who had withdrawn from the lease.
If this brainwash package gets out, merchants will probably not dare to cooperate with Lirong Department Store in the future.
But if it's not possible to do it openly, it's still possible to retaliate against Zhou Jinlong secretly.
Wen Yue thought about it and let the system separate the evidence, sending the video to the TV station, and the photos and inspection reports to several newspaper companies.
Well, I'll send it tomorrow, and I'll do a wave of criticism today to stir up the heat.
Wen Yue thought about it and called Yi Huai to pick her up from work.
At that time, the Internet was not so developed, and even large companies found it difficult to monitor public opinion, and the reaction speed was relatively slow when problems occurred. In addition, it was Wen Yue who was splashed with dirty water, so no one in Yisheng reported the incident.
When Wen Yue called, Yi Huai didn't know about it yet. But after listening to her words, he put off his work without saying a word and took a car to pick him up.
Yi Huai arrived quite early, and there was still more than an hour before he got off work.
Wen Yue had a plan in mind, and didn't want him to face the reporters alone, so she asked him to go upstairs from another door of the mall. After she finished her work, she told Yi Huai not to speak to the reporters, and then they went out together from the back door.
As soon as the two appeared, reporters swarmed around them, vying to ask:
"Ms. Wen, what do you say about the boss Zhou Fujin's suggestion that you seduce him?"
"Ms. Wen, Zhou Fujin has been stationed in Lirong Department Store for several years. You should know that Zhou Jinlong has a family, right? Knowing that he has a family, you still want to intervene. What do you think?"
"Ms. Wen, the seduction failed and was made public. What do you think now?"
Wen Yue glanced at the three people who asked questions first. They were basically reporters from Hong Kong's notorious unscrupulous tabloids.
Normal newspaper reporters, even entertainment reporters known as "paparazzi", are mostly moral. In a situation like this where one person is throwing dirty water on another, they will not prejudge who is good and who is bad.
But the reporters of unscrupulous tabloids are different. They only want to make headlines when reporting news, and they don't care about the facts. So when Zhou Jinlong said that, they assumed that Wen Yue was really seducing people.
Wen Yue's face turned pale and she asked, "How much myopia do you have?"
The three reporters were stunned and looked at each other. After seven or eight seconds, someone answered, "More than a hundred degrees, Miss Wen, is this question related to the question we asked just now?"
Wen Yue did not answer his question, but only said "Oh" in a long voice, and said faintly, "It's only more than a hundred degrees, I thought you were blind."
The other party's face turned red instantly: "Miss Wen, this is an interview now, it's inappropriate for you to curse people, right?"
"How can this be cursing, aren't you blind?" Wen Yue stretched out her two hands and pointed to the side, "This is my current husband, he is 1.8 meters tall, with long legs, broad shoulders, handsome, and abdominal muscles."
After hearing the second half of Wen Yue's sentence, the other reporters who were laughing at her mocking the three reporters for being blind looked at Yi Huai and looked him up and down.
One of the three reporters said, "What does your husband's appearance have to do with this matter?"
"Of course it does," Wen Yue answered and then raised her head and said to the reporters behind her, "Who has a photo of Zhou Jinlong? Please pass it forward."
It's amazing that these reporters were well-equipped. Wen Yue asked casually, and someone really took out a photo of Zhou Jinlong and handed it to Wen Yue.
Wen Yue apologized first, then handed the photo to the three people: "Look carefully at the person in the photo, the body is 50-50, the waist is drum-shaped, and the appearance can only be that of a person."
Then she put the photo next to Yi Huai's ear: "Look at Yi Huai, then look at the person in the photo, you should understand why I say you are blind, right? How desperate must I be to betray my tall, handsome and young husband and destroy a pig's family!"
"Puff!"
"Indeed, if my husband looked like this, I would definitely not like Zhou Jinlong, the contrast is too terrible."
Most people think the same way, but the three unscrupulous reporters have to be different. One of them said: "According to what Mr. Zhou said, you seduced Zhou Fujin for work and wanted to keep him, so appearance should not be the point, right?"
Wen Yue laughed and asked: "How much is Zhou Jinlong's net worth? Is he in the top ten of the rich list?"
"Maybe, a few billion," the reporter said uncertainly, "or maybe a few billion? He's on the rich list, but not in the top ten."
Wen Yue turned around and asked Yi Huai, "How much are you worth?"
Yi Huai responded, "18.7 billion Hong Kong dollars, currently ranked eighth on the Hong Kong rich list."
Wen Yue asked others how much Wen Rongsheng was worth.
Wen Rongsheng was the richest man, so naturally many people knew his wealth, and even if they couldn't tell the exact number, they could tell a rough estimate. Besides, all the people who came today were reporters, so they quickly said the specific number, which was slightly more than 40 billion.
After getting the answer, Wen Yue first thanked the reporters for their cooperation, and then said, "In terms of wealth, I am indeed not as good as Daddy and Ah Huai. So far, I only have 5% of the shares of Lirong Group given by Daddy, which is about 2 billion. How much income can Zhou Fujin's renewal of the lease bring to Lirong Department Store? According to the average rent, it should not exceed 20 million a year. I would like to ask the reporter, what makes you think I would seduce a woman for just 20 million? Pig?"
Wen Yue turned to other reporters without waiting for the other party to answer: "Okay, this is all my explanation about someone splashing dirty water on me. After listening to this, everyone should have made a judgment on the right and wrong. Of course, it is not ruled out that some mentally retarded people cannot understand the logical relationship, but I believe that we are all normal people and should be able to figure it out, right?"
The reporters looked at the mentally retarded reporter who squeezed to the front and smiled and responded: "Yes!"
"That's good." Wen Yue nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "Finally, I hereby declare that I, Wen Yue, have a normal sexual orientation, like handsome men, and have no interest in human-pig love. Thank you!"
