Not to mention how Wen Hongyan and Shu Lu cursed at each other, Zhao Qian in the Magic City was very confused.
How can the money be useless if it is spent?
This situation goes against the education Zhao Qian received since childhood!
Money should be able to solve all problems.
Zhao Qian spent money but it was useless. An inexplicable old guy published an article and public opinion suddenly reversed. This is too weird!
Zhao Qian was not convinced. She spent all her pocket money but saw no results. She even asked her aunt who stayed in the United States for money to increase her investment. Coincidentally, supporters of Mr. Fu spoke out. After the online and offline public opinion were unified, the internet trolls Zhao Qian hired could only maintain the heat of the competition and were completely unable to reverse the direction of public opinion again.
Zhao Qian was still indignant, but her act of hiring internet trolls finally alarmed Zhao Dong.
Zhao Dong was speechless.
“You paid people to post online?”
"Brother, I'm not happy, I just want to scold her!"
“…”
Of course you can curse, and if paying to curse is effective, Zhao Dong will not only not stop it but will also strongly support it.
But Zhao Qian's scolding not only had no effect, but also indirectly helped Wen Ying increase the sales of her novel. As one thing gained while the other lost, Zhao Dong was so angry that he had a headache:
"You are giving the Zhao family's money to others!"
The Zhao family's money did not fall from the sky. It was the accumulation of two generations of the Zhao family who left their hometown and went abroad. They didn't feel sorry about spending it on their own family members, but Zhao Dong thought it was a waste of money when he spent it on others.
This sister really needs me to spend a lot of energy to discipline her.
"I have an appointment with Mr. He from Kangnian Biology tonight. You can come with me."
Zhao Qian pouted and didn't want to go. Zhao Dong also had a way to deal with Zhao Qian. It was okay if she didn't go, so he would just deduct her pocket money!
"I will remind my aunt not to give you any more money, and I won't give you any pocket money either."
This move is too cruel. Zhao Qian has already spent her pocket money on hiring internet trolls. If there is no new pocket money, is she going to live a miserable and poor life?
How can that be possible?
Information doesn't spread so quickly these days. Zhao Dong's past was exposed in Chengdu, but not in Shanghai. After Zhao Qian transferred to another school, she still had the image of a rich and beautiful girl in school. Zhao Dong wanted to deduct her pocket money, so Zhao Qian had to reluctantly agree to go with Zhao Dong to social events.
The dinner that night was attended not only by Mr. and Mrs. He, but also by Mr. He and Dai Chenglan’s only son, He Zhen.
It was Christmas again at the end of December 2005. Rebecca did not return to China with He Zhen during this holiday. Unlike Zhao Qian who was forced by her brother Zhao Dong to attend the dinner, He Zhen took the initiative.
He Zhen is already 20 years old this year. Most rich kids can wait until they graduate from college before getting involved in the family business, but He Zhen cannot.
He has his own things to maintain.
His mother Dai Chenglan's "persuasion" once troubled He Zhen. He Zhen was naturally reluctant to separate from Rebecca. In order to maintain this relationship, the 20-year-old He Zhen had to start opening his eyes from the ivory tower and looking at the society early.
There must be a way to have the best of both worlds!
He Zhen had not yet experienced the harsh reality of society at this time and was full of confidence in his and Rebecca's future.
With this mentality, He Zhen actively participates in social activities related to his family's business even when he returns home for holidays.
Although He Zhen is not extremely handsome, he has a very confident temperament. Confident people are very attractive. Zhao Qian couldn't help but compare He Zhen and Xie Qian in her mind - one is a high school student and the other is a college student, so their temperaments are naturally different. Xie Qian is cold and aloof, but He Zhen is not. He Zhen is young and angular, sharp and determined, and lively. Such charm is extremely attractive to the girl, and he looks more approachable than Xie Qian. Zhao Qian, who has been frustrated for a long time, wants to find some confidence elsewhere. She was reluctant to come to social events at first, but changed her mind after meeting He Zhen.
He Zhen would never let Zhao Qian feel left out. He Zhen could always continue with any topic Zhao Qian was talking about. After a meal, Zhao Qian already called He Zhen "Brother He Zhen".
Dai Chenglan put down her chopsticks and smiled elegantly: "Xixi, is this your first time meeting our He Zhen? You grew up abroad, and He Zhen studied abroad. You two should have a lot in common. You can leave each other your contact information."
Zhao Qian immediately took out her cell phone and said, "Okay, what's Brother He Zhen's phone number? I'll write it down!"
He Zhen didn't think much about it and casually gave his phone number to a high school girl who came to dinner with her brother Zhao Dong. After today's dinner, the two probably wouldn't contact each other privately.
Even if they were in contact, it wouldn't be a big deal. He Zhen didn't reject polite social interactions. He already knew that Zhao Dong would be an important business partner of Kangnian Biology. To gain a deeper understanding of his family's business, he naturally couldn't avoid someone like Zhao Dong.
He Zhen didn't think much about it, but Zhao Dong thought a lot.
Although Zhao Dong doesn't allow his sister Zhao Qian to pester Xie Qian anymore, He Zhen... doesn't quite meet Zhao Dong's expectations for his sister.
The He family's threshold is still too low.
The best choice, of course, is someone with a background like the Xie family.
It’s okay if it’s a little worse than the Xie family.
As for the He family, they rely on Xie Jinghu's investment. They don't have much money and almost no power. Zhao Dong can only "cooperate" with them rather than depend on them.
Zhao Qian wants to change her target, but she can't change it to He Zhen.
Zhao Dong had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he didn't show it on his face. Suddenly, Zhao Qian's cell phone rang. Zhao Qian ran outside the box to make a call. It was a leader of the internet troll army whom she had contacted before, asking her whether she would post any follow-up posts.
Zhao Qian said angrily: "I'm not buying it. I don't have money. Don't call me anymore!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
The navy leader was speechless.
They were very arrogant at the beginning, but now they say they have no money. The water army has even prepared new materials.
When Zhao Qian walked back, He Zhen was also on the phone in the corridor. He Zhen's voice was light and gentle. He was talking to his girlfriend Rebecca who stayed in the UK. Zhao Qian deliberately patted He Zhen's shoulder from behind:
"Hi!"
He Zhen said a few more words before hanging up the phone and raising an eyebrow, "Why don't you go in?"
"Brother He Zhen, who are you talking to on the phone, your girlfriend?"
Zhao Qian answered without asking.
He Zhen admitted it readily.
Zhao Qian's eyes rolled. "Your girlfriend is studying abroad, right? Is she pretty?"
Rebecca is certainly beautiful.
He Zhen was very honest, "She is beyond ordinary beauty, she is a goddess."
Rebecca is not only beautiful, but also a top student. Her appearance and soul can conquer He Zhen. He Zhen is just telling the truth, but Zhao Qian is a little dissatisfied.
What goddess level? The word "goddess" is too worthless nowadays.
At this moment, Zhao Qian, for some unknown reason, took out the photos she had taken on her phone and asked He Zhen, "Are you any prettier than her?"
He Zhen originally just glanced casually, and his eyes swept over and then fell back on the phone screen. He even took Zhao Qian's phone and looked at it carefully.
"……who is she?"
——The photo that Zhao Qian showed He Zhen was the one that Zhao Qian took with her mobile phone when the promotional video for the essay writing competition was being broadcast on Hunan Satellite TV. She took the shot of Wen Ying’s face.
