At the age of 25, Shu Shuang won the "Most Popular Female Singer" award and successfully won the Hong Kong music scene, becoming the youngest queen of the Hong Kong music scene at the time.
After that, she was embroiled in scandals and became a frequent headline in the entertainment sector. Paparazzi kept an eye on her every day, saying that she became the second wife of a wealthy businessman or that she secretly married a certain male star and had a child.
However, all this did not affect her career development. She only fell into a trough a few times, but soon recovered. At the age of 32, she was married to a Hong Kong jeweler and lived a semi-retired life as a rich wife.
In the eight years of marriage, she did not give birth to a child, so she suffered a lot of gossip and criticism, but fortunately, she had an open-minded personality and did not care much about those things, and still lived a carefree life.
Two years later, she divorced her husband due to personality differences, and they took away several jewelry stores and 50 million in cash. After that, she lived in seclusion in her mansion. Although the paparazzi were omnipresent, they could not dig up much information.
This time, the paparazzi did not know where they got the news that Shu Shuang had a daughter in the mainland, so they sent people to Xingzhou Island to dig deeper, and at the same time, in order to grab the headlines, they broke the unconfirmed news.
"According to insiders, Shu Shuang had already given birth to a daughter in a low-key manner. She recently went to the mainland to reunite with her family under the pretext of recording a program. She admitted it in a video call with friends... The biological father is suspected to be a wealthy businessman from the mainland. The two were previously photographed entering and leaving a hotel."
This headline scared the friends who had video chatted with Shu Shuang so much that they came out to refute the rumor, saying that the "informed person" was not them. The "mainland wealthy businessman" - the producer of "To the West" who approached Shu Shuang for cooperation at the time was also stunned. He never expected that the Hong Kong entertainment industry was so shameless and could say black and white.
After he found out what was going on with Shu Shuang's daughter, he wanted to dispel the rumor right away, but the director said, "This is a good opportunity to promote the show! Teacher Shu has adopted the dugong Liangliang, so we can immediately shoot some more footage of her and release it as a pilot. This will not only dispel the rumor, but also promote our show in a positive way."
The producer thought it made sense, so he contacted Shu Shuang. Shu Shuang said she had no objection, because after she adopted the dugong cub, she would have the opportunity to interact with the dugong, so it was okay for the program team to record it.
But she was a little worried that the dugong would ignore her, so she asked Cen Yingda: "Is your keeper here? Can I ask her for help?"
Cen Yingda: "Keepers?"
Dugongs go to the sea to find food by themselves, there are no keepers at all.
But after thinking carefully, she knew who she was talking about.
Cen Yingda said: "She is not a keeper, but the animals in the sea are indeed closer to her. As for whether she is willing to help, we have to ask her first." Shu Shuang was
slightly surprised. It seemed that the other party was not only not a keeper, but also might have a higher identity, and they could not easily summon him.
"Then... please ask her if she is willing, thank you!"
Cen Yingda was also worried that she would flip over, so he called Li Yaolin.
The latter thought for a moment and said, "I don't want to be on camera, but I can go over and negotiate with the dugongs first, so that they can cooperate with you to carry out your work."
So when Shu Shuang was changing into protective clothing in the reserve, Li Yaolin went over to communicate with the dugong cub "Jingjing": "Your human mother will want to touch you later, you are not allowed to attack her, understand?"
The cub patted its tail fin, looking excited.
Li Yaolin was worried that the cub's biological mother would be jealous, so she gave her some advice. However, she didn't care at all that the cub recognized a human as its mother. After eating, she quietly dozed off in the sea, with an indifferent attitude of "why not take the child away to be raised?"
Li Yaolin: "..."
It seems that they have been living carefree for too long, and their mother-daughter relationship has become plastic.
Seeing Shu Shuang and the photographer coming over, Li Yaolin left. She didn't go far, but sat in the rest room of the reserve, watching the interaction between Shu Shuang and the dugong through the glass to prevent any accidents.
Not long after sitting down, Li Yaolin received a call from Deputy Manager Song: "Mr. Li, the Shu Shuang incident is very popular in Hong Kong. I think this is a good opportunity to promote and publicize Xingzhou Island and attract overseas tourists. We can't miss it!"
At least half of the people in Hong Kong are eating melons now, and the Hong Kong media not only likes to dig up information about the parties involved, but also likes to dig up some "scraps" related to the incident. Many people only know that Shu Shuang recorded a program in the mainland, and very few mentioned Xingzhou Island. If the word "Xingzhou Island" can be added after the mainland, it will greatly increase the exposure of Xingzhou Island.
Deputy Manager Song has already discussed the manuscript with a Hong Kong media, and it will be published in the newspaper tomorrow.
Li Yaolin said: "It is indeed a good idea to take this opportunity to increase the popularity of Xingzhou Island in Hong Kong and Macau, but we must keep our bottom line. If possible, try to guide public opinion in a positive direction and do not become the executioner of unscrupulous media to spread rumors and infringe on the reputation of others."
"I understand."
...
The interaction time between the adopter and the adopted animal is generally half an hour. After the time is up, the dugong cub feels that it has completed the task assigned by the island owner, so it waves its flippers at Shu Shuang and then returns to the sea to its real mother.
Shu Shuang thinks the cub is so cute that it almost melts her heart.
"Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Shu!" the photographer said to Shu Shuang.
Shu Shuang smiled slightly: "You are the ones who have to work hard."
The photographer went back to work overtime to edit the video. Shu Shuang glanced at the lounge and found that the girl was still there, so she walked over to say hello: "Hello."
Li Yaolin was slightly surprised: "Hello, Teacher Shu!"
Shu Shuang couldn't help laughing: "You are not in the circle, you don't have to call me Teacher Shu like them."
Li Yaolin felt a little guilty because she used the other party's scandal to promote Xingzhou Island. After hearing this, she changed her words: "Hello, Ms. Shu."
She paused, and when she saw that Shu Shuang didn't answer, she continued, "I am Li Yaolin."
Now it was Shu Shuang's turn to be surprised. How could she not know some of the rumors about Xingzhou Island after vacationing on Xingzhou Island for so long?
For example, the identity of the mysterious island owner that everyone was most curious about.
Now the other party was standing in front of her, which really surprised her.
But this seems to be reasonable, otherwise why can only the director of the reserve management station invite her to help?
Shu Shuang asked: "I want to know why those mermaids listen to the island owner so much, is there any secret?"
Li Yaolin also smiled and said: "Maybe it's because... I am the island owner!"
Shu Shuang was stunned and felt that Li Yaolin was very humorous. She said: "It seems that I can't get the scriptures."
"But I can tell you about Jingjing's hobbies and how to communicate with it effectively..."
The two talked for more than ten minutes, and because they each had work to do, they parted. Before leaving, Shu Shuang suddenly remembered something and said, "Can I make a small request to the island owner?"
"You say."
"I heard that you can take nothing away from Xingzhou Island, but you must take a limited edition postcard with the island owner's personal stamp. It is said that it has a particularly beautiful meaning. In addition to lottery and blind box opening, there is no third way to get it, so do I have the opportunity to create a third way to get it?"
...
The next day, the program team posted the trailer that was edited overnight on V Weibo, promoting the program "Journey to the West" and letting everyone know that Shu Shuang's giving birth to a daughter was just a rumor.
A newspaper in Hong Kong later published a clarification, saying that the reporter interviewed the relevant person in charge of Xingzhou Island, and the reply was that Xingzhou Island would not disclose any information of tourists, but the adoption-related information can be found on the official website of the reserve, and everyone can search for the truth by themselves.
Although not all the information was disclosed in order to protect the privacy of the adopter, everyone determined that the adopter was Shu Shuang based on the "Shu*" above and the unique identity card number format of Hong Kong.
Shu Shuang also stood up to denounce the paparazzi's nonsense and explained some rumors. For example, the "mainland tycoon" was actually the producer of the program group, and he approached her to discuss cooperation; for
another example, the reason why she stayed on Xingzhou Island was not to reunite with the non-existent human daughter, but to vacation on Xingzhou Island.
She shared her daily vacation life on Xingzhou Island on Instagram, and said that the hotels on Xingzhou Island are more livable than her own mansion. It's a pity that there are no real estate on Xingzhou Island, otherwise she would definitely buy a house.
The truth came out. Except for a few people who thought that this was just a public relations method that Shu Shuang came up with to resolve the crisis, most people understood the whole story. As
the popularity of "Journey to the West" increased, some people in Hong Kong and Macau also became interested in Xingzhou Island, an island located in a small fourth-tier city in the mainland, which was highly praised by Shu Shuang. The search traffic about Xingzhou Island on related search engines soared.
Of course, some people also presupposed that there could not be such a clean attraction in the mainland, especially since the oil market is famous for petrochemicals and factories are everywhere. How could the islands in such a city be comparable to the islands in Southeast Asia?
They still have some stereotypes, such as "Mainland tourists have no quality, love to litter, spit, and talk very loudly", "tourist attractions are crowded", "businesses love to overcharge customers", etc., so they shouted on Instagram that they would never travel to the mainland.
The more radical ones began to verbally attack Shu Shuang.
However, Shu Shuang did not care about these remarks. She ended her vacation and went to a new destination to record the show when the second episode of "Towards the West" was about to start.
In mid-May, schools in Macau began their summer vacation. Some Macau students were invited by their mainland classmates to travel to Xingzhou Island.
In addition to these Macau students, some Hong Kong and Macau people who study and work in the mainland also decided to verify in person whether Xingzhou Island really deserves such a high evaluation.
...
Li Yaolin opened the APP to check the progress of the task. This year, more than 3,000 overseas tourists have been received. Among these people, most are from Hong Kong and Macau who study and work in the mainland, followed by Japanese and Korean students studying in China. Most of them are fans of Shu Shuang. When they see their idol say it’s good, they naturally believe it unconditionally.
In the end, Xingzhou Island did not disappoint them.
Not only is there clear water here that they can’t see in Hong Kong, Macau, Japan and South Korea, but also the "sea scum" and "sea fire" phenomena that they can’t explain with science.
In particular, Macau people believe in Mazu very much. Regarding the sayings circulated in the surrounding fishing villages that Xingzhou Island is protected by the sea god and the small lighthouse can guide lost ships a hundred nautical miles away to return home, they firmly believe that this sea god is Mazu.
The seafood buffet restaurant serves fresh and delicious seafood, and the price is very cheap compared to Hong Kong, Macau, Japan and South Korea. They say that the taste of this three-star restaurant is comparable to that of Michelin restaurants in Hong Kong. The butler has already upgraded the star automatically, and the third unlocked seafood in the Poseidon Market seafood area has also begun to be supplied. Except for a little more people and a little more lively, there are no other disadvantages.
What actually interested them more were the robots in the seafood buffet restaurant. The Japanese students who were very interested in this didn't even eat, but gathered around the robots to watch them work in an orderly manner, and kept exclaiming: "This is the best in the world."
...
Li Yaolin breathed a sigh of relief: "Although it took five months to achieve one-tenth of the goal, it is finally a good start."
Deputy Manager Song, who had just returned from Hong Kong, was not very confident: "There is still a long way to go before the 30,000 goal set at the beginning of the year. There is only half a year left. Can we do it?"
In fact, her work progress was not particularly smooth during this trip to Hong Kong. Although some newspapers and entrepreneurs reached a consensus on cooperation on "taking advantage of Shu Shuang's scandal to benefit multiple parties", the majority refused to cooperate.
On the contrary, the cooperation in Macau was much smoother. Many hotels were willing to advertise for Xingzhou Island through "soft implantation". However, there was a problem. Apart from foreign tourists, the majority of tourists staying in Macau hotels were from the mainland. Therefore, the most likely to be attracted to Xingzhou Island were either foreigners or mainlanders.
This made Deputy Manager Song feel frustrated for the first time.
Li Yaolin said nonchalantly: "We want to attract overseas tourists, but there is no need to put too much pressure on ourselves."
Although there would be punishment for failing the mission, she thought that it would not make her return to the pre-liberation era.
Moreover, these more than 3,000 tourists provided her with a new solution - even if Hong Kong and Macau could attract fewer tourists, there were still international students, right?
Every year, there are more than 500,000 international students studying in China. Among them, there are many short video bloggers who are famous for shooting vlogs about studying abroad. They can definitely be asked to shoot some promotional videos to attract more international students who are keen on traveling and like to travel around China to travel here!
At the very least, there will be several international tourism exhibitions held in Yangshi in the second half of the year. She can also apply for a booth and directly cooperate with foreign travel service providers.
Li Yaolin encouraged her: "There are always more solutions than problems, so there is no need to lose confidence because of a setback."
Deputy Manager Song immediately cheered up and said with high spirits: "Mr. Li, you are right! I will immediately go to understand and prepare for the Travel Expo!"
Deputy Manager Song left, and Lin Qitong was looking around the door, but she didn't come in. Li Yaolin asked her with a smile: "What did you do that you are afraid to see me?"
"No!" Lin Qitong immediately flashed in.
"How was your life this month?"
Lin Qitong said: "Don't mention it. This is the first time I feel that vacation is more tiring than work."
She wanted to complain about her experience on this business trip, but she swallowed it back when she remembered that it was still working hours. She said, "Coming back to Xingzhou Island is as comfortable as returning home."
"You can treat this place as your second home."
Lin Qitong said brightly, "Of course."
Although she didn't say it, she figured it out.
"Xingzhou Island Image Ambassador" is not a shackle on her, but a proof that she is a member of the big family of Xingzhou Island. If Sanniang is the head of the family, then she is the eldest daughter of this family. Her every word and action will represent the upbringing of this big family. So if she doesn't want to be accused of being uneducated, she must have the awareness of taking more responsibilities.
The author has something to say:
Island owner: I cooked a big pot of chicken soup, Deputy Manager Song drank a bowl, and was going to give you the rest, but you told me that you cooked the chicken soup yourself? !
Lin Qiqi: ...——
