She is so good today
Hong Baolin sent Yu Li nine photos the day after New Year's Eve. Eight of them were taken from the rooftop live broadcast, and the remaining one was from the moment she handed Hong Baolin her coat and prepared to get on the bus that night on the cruise.
Not far away was the brightly lit coastline, with people mingling and noise everywhere. The car stopped in a quiet corner. The driver got out and opened the door for Yu Li. Yu Li stood by the door and had not yet gotten in the car. Her head was slightly lowered, her hair falling on the side of her face, making it difficult to see her features. She was wearing a thin dress.
This is a photo with a great atmosphere. The fact that the faces are not clearly visible allows people who see the photo to imagine more possibilities.
I sent it to Song Minjing, and she said it was a kind of "broken feeling" and she just wanted to hold this person in her hands and take good care of him.
Yu Li listened with disgust.
"I know I shouldn't take your picture privately, but I was too excited at the time." She wanted to keep this moment, but Yu Li moved quickly. Hong Baolin only had time to take a picture of this scene before Yu Li got in the car.
Taking advantage of sending the edited video to Yu Li, Hong Baolin also sent this photo, also wanting to make things clear with Yu Li.
"In addition to the video, I also took eight additional photos. I think this necklace doesn't need a spokesperson; you're the perfect fit. Just release the photos and people will rush to buy it."
The figure standing at the highest point of the rooftop looking up at the snowflakes is particularly eye-catching. The shield necklace on his neck is clearly visible, and behind him is a towering building.
Yu Li said thank you and promised to give her every penny of the money she was owed. At the same time, she also realized that Hong Baolin had an amazing talent in new media.
She later learned about Hong Baolin, whose account had amassed a million followers in just a year and a half, making her a top-tier account in China. Her rapid rise to fame stemmed from her ability to master trending topics.
There is more than one rich and beautiful woman who wants to be an internet celebrity. Hong Baolin made an inventory video to reveal who are the socialites in the capital. All you need to do is add the one who wants to be famous to the list of socialites, and then invest money in the video to let more people see it - the promotion fee is naturally not paid by Hong Baolin, and people will have this realization: it turns out that xx is a very famous rich girl.
In fact, given Hong Baolin's status at the time, the socialites she could come into contact with were not of high status.
But through this socialite, she gradually entered the upper class circle. She would go wherever there was a party and cooperate with whoever wanted to be an internet celebrity. Later, it was not people who chose her, but she chose people. She would not cooperate with those who did not have enough status, appearance or character.
He even opened another small account to rate the young masters and ladies he had worked with, ranking those who were powerful and influential as S-level, and those who were average as D-level. The name of the main account would be added at the end of the note, saying "only based on the video released by 'Inappropriate Anmei 3.0'", linking it to the main account.
Later, whenever the main account introduced a rich person, fans would get used to checking out the secondary account. Those who first saw the content on the secondary account would also actively search for the content on the main account.
The rich young men who were being evaluated might have been conditioned by their own thinking style, and their first reaction when they found out they were being evaluated was not "I'm going to find the person who evaluated me and give him a good beating", but rather "What? I'm not as good as him? I'm going to find Hong Baolin to work with me again."
Because of his self-reliance on his status, he missed the truth.
Yu Li has seen this kind of sensitivity to the Internet more often in the Hong family. Remembering that Hong Baolin also has the surname "Hong", could it be that the surname Hong can bring a buff?
Yu Li did not "let down" Hong Baolin's kindness and really asked ISG to send out the photos, but she only picked out three photos taken on the rooftop, and saved the photos of the cruise night for herself.
The videos and photos that could be considered as new product promotional advertisements after editing caused a frenzy once they were released. People's purchasing power had been declining, and seeing the photos attracted a new wave of customers.
Hong Baolin has Zheng Zhihe's private number, so she can contact Zheng Zhihe if she has any questions.
At the same time, Song Minjing took Hong Baolin's "record" over the past year and asked her agent: "Just looking at these experiences, what do you think of this person?"
She erased Hong Baolin's personal information.
The agent looked at it several times, stroking his chin in thought: "Could she be a genius?"
Song Minjing was delighted. After sending her agent away, she immediately contacted Hong Baolin quietly: "Internet celebrities, like idols, have a shelf life. Do you want to change your identity?"
*
After half a month of peace and tranquility, ISG's shopping spree has subsided a bit. With the Spring Festival approaching, the location for the celebration banquet has been selected.
Everyone's bonus has been calculated and will be paid out together with the January salary. Zheng Zhihe looked at the amount and sighed that every employee can have a good year this year.
The Qingteng Club has a regular meeting before the New Year. If Yu Li is not busy, she will definitely attend it. She doesn't know what is usually discussed in the regular meeting. When she arrived at the place, she saw that the president directly announced several plans. These are all cooperation projects that have been planned but not yet implemented. Whoever is interested can participate, and if there are many interested people, there will be competition.
There was a lot of information in it that was not to be revealed to outsiders, so Yu Li read it and pretended not to see it.
Members of the Qingteng Club will rush to grab the project before the news leaks out.
"You haven't been promoted yet, so you can't participate in these projects for the time being." Hong Jae-heon said slowly as he sat on Yu Li's right. He had already resigned from the position of vice president, and now he was free.
Yu Li didn't care about this. She just felt that Qingteng Club was quite relaxed in some aspects. "Executives and interns sitting together?"
Since she hasn't been hired as a full-time employee, she's just an intern.
Hong Jae-heon was amused. Or maybe it wasn't a laugh, he just wanted to give Yu Li some feedback: "It's just one seat. Look, the president is sitting in the front row. Does he have the highest status in the Qingteng Club?"
No, the ones with truly high status are the senior members. Because they all have their own careers to take care of and don’t want to waste time on organizational management, they specially elect a president.
On the surface, he is responsible for all the affairs of the Qingteng Society, but in fact he follows Gao Hui's orders.
"You still see things clearly." Yu Li complimented.
Hong Jae-heon said "thank you" and personally poured water into the cup in front of Yu Li, as if he felt that he could get along well with Yu Li.
However, if someone shows you kindness without any reason, there must be some ulterior motive.
Yu Li did not let her guard down. It seemed that Hong Jae-heon had set his eyes on her. He had almost only spoken to her on the day he took her to visit the Qingteng Club office, and today he sat next to her as soon as he saw her.
It was a very strange behavior, and Hong Jae-heon should have been wary of her. As far as she knew, the relationship between Hong's father and his ex-wife was very bad. They divorced a few days after Hong Jae-heon was born, which led to Hong's father being cold towards Hong Jae-heon.
Later, Hong Wuxu was born. In front of outsiders, Hong's father treated him equally, but his love and dislike was written in his eyes. After a long time, some people naturally noticed that something was wrong, so there was a saying outside that Hong's father liked Hong Wuxu more than Hong Jae-heon.
Not much has been heard of Hong Zaixian's mother's family. It happened many years ago and not many people know about it. Hong Wuxu is different. His mother is also in the same circle, so there is a high chance that he will inherit the Hong family in the future.
If Hong Jae-heon wants to take the top position, all those who are on good terms with Hong Wu-wook should be excluded.
The day Kong Yizi appeared, she introduced herself as the founder of Tia and she didn't seem to be short of money. When she said that Kong Yizi liked Hong Wuxu, Hong Jae-hyeon immediately noticed her, fearing that Hong Wuxu had unknowingly gained another helper.
So, why did he suddenly come to her?
"It's almost six o'clock." Hong Jae-heon noticed the time on the wall. Usually there would be a dinner after the regular meeting, and after the dinner, they could go to another place to continue playing. "Let's go eat together later. This is my first time attending a regular meeting."
Yu Li remained silent.
"There will be shows in the evening. You can invite your friends to come and play. There are no restrictions."
"Really?" Yu Li looked uninterested.
The regular meeting ended on time at 6 o'clock. The president specially added the contact information of the five new members who joined last year. He also said that the restaurant had been booked and the others were free to come. The five new members must have a meal together.
The Qingteng Club is not short of money. Members pay a considerable membership fee every year. They have to pay as much as they benefit from the Qingteng Club.
During the meal, perhaps noticing Yu Li's indifference, Hong Jae-heon did not try to please her and sat at the same table with the others.
Pei Haocheng did not come and was already abroad. Senior members all understood why Pei Haocheng went abroad. They were happy to see it happen and would not be petty about his absence.
Only Gao Zhuyan was there, and the two sat together. Yu Li asked Gao Zhuyan if he had found out anything related to Hong Zaixian.
"He's a little strange."
"Hong Jae-heon?" Gao Zhuyan had learned about it. He had done a lot of preparation to join the Qingteng Society. "At that time, they wanted to show the top management their secret weapon, and they assigned someone to find a certain file on their computer. That person was Hong Jae-heon."
"Hong Jae-heon," Gao Suyan thought about how to describe him. "Mr. Bae Ho-seung said I was a masochist. In contrast, Hong Jae-heon is a bitch."
"He wasn't valued by his family, yet he wanted to inherit the family's media empire, so he did a lot of shameful things behind the scenes."
It’s the same as what Yu Li found out, but what does this have to do with getting close to her.
Gao Zhuyan sent a screenshot of a message to Yu Li that disappeared after reading it. When Yu Li clicked on it, she saw that it was a conversation between Hong Jae Heon and Hong's father.
Hong Jae-heon: "Dad, you really don't want to leave it to me at all? I'm about to graduate, but I don't have a position in the company."
Father Hong: "With your ability, you can definitely go out and work on your own."
Hong Jae-heon: "There is one at home, why should I go out? Am I the enemy's child?"
Father Hong: "This is the best arrangement. If you need start-up capital, I can give it to you."
…
Yu Li read through the article quickly and the screenshots were automatically deleted. Gao Zhuyan could even get this thing, so he wouldn't just go to Hong Zaixian's computer for no reason.
Facing Yu Li's questioning look, Gao Zhuyan remained calm and said, "They chose their own people. I just followed their instructions."
Yu Li raised her eyebrows and thought for a moment: "My computer..."
"Never." Gao Zhuyan suddenly raised the corner of his mouth and smiled strangely, "How could a puppy make me lose my novelty?"
Yu Li believed it.
She was very clear about one thing about Gao Zhuyan: he had a genuine mental problem. Over the past year or so, many people had imitated her attitude towards Gao Zhuyan, but Gao Zhuyan ignored them all.
These people don’t know that what Gao Zhuyan wants is not to be impatient on the surface but to value him in the heart. What he wants is to look down on him on the surface but not care about him in the heart.
He looked up at the moon hanging high in the clouds. Even though the moon despised him for being filthy, he didn't care and was willing to turn into a charging warrior. What he loved was the moon's proud attitude.
But once the moon came down from the clouds and reached out to him, he would feel that the moon was not worthy. The moon actually fell in love with such a filthy man, which meant that the moon was no longer the moon he liked.
A person full of contradictions.
Putting aside Gao Zhuyan's matter, just based on the screenshots just now, it can only be said that Hong Zaixian's status in the family is lower than imagined. Hong's father is unwilling to let Hong Zaixian join the company and wants to kick him out directly.
Then you should not approach her unless she has something that the other person wants.
After the dinner, the group moved to another location. Hong Jae-heon said that the after-dinner activities were just for fun and there was no restriction on identity, so many people really invited their friends to come.
Yu Li didn't call anyone, but she called Xu Zaitan. They hadn't seen each other since the cruise, and she didn't know if Xu Zaitan had found out who was behind the scenes.
Xu Zaitan was still in the company. He was lying in his office chair in a daze when he received the call. He had used his brain all day today and admired himself.
"The person behind this?" He denied. "I don't think it's from the Bai family. They're very secretive. I haven't found any clues."
The people caught on the cruise ship that day could not be questioned about anything, they just said they did things for money.
I even wondered myself when I talked about it: "I'm so valuable that everyone comes to me."
"Don't forget their main point," Yu Li reminded him. "They made such a fuss just to get the password you left at the bank."
"There are two possibilities. Either they need what you have in the bank, or they need your password, literally."
After Yu Li's analysis, Xu Zaitan was more inclined to believe that it was something stored in the bank. This password was only for the bank, and he would change it on a whim, so it would be useless.
"I'll check again." Xu Zaitan said.
After hanging up the phone, Yu Li returned to the box. Gao Zhuyan had reserved a seat for her. As soon as she sat down, someone pushed open the door.
Kong Yizi.
After more than half a month, Yu Li almost forgot about this person. Zheng Ruizhen had collected the follow-up of New Year's Eve and was just waiting for the right time to send it out.
Kong Yizi came with her friends from the Qingteng Club. Most of the others didn't know her, and the few who did were noncommittal and joked, "Isn't this Tia's boss who's been embroiled in a lawsuit lately?"
Someone glanced at Yu Li. With ISG and Tia still trending online, it was hard not to know about this. Yu Li's face showed nothing, a faint smile at the corner of her mouth. Kong Yizi surprisingly didn't bother her, only speaking to the person who greeted her: "Why bother with such trivial matters? Who hasn't faced a lawsuit when starting a company?"
Everyone present was of high status, so Kong Yizi said that there was nothing wrong with it, and the others stopped harping on the matter.
Kong Yizi sat on the other side, quite a distance away from Yu Li.
Gao Zhuyan stroked the bottle of wine in his hand. He didn't like drinking, but it would be a bit out of place here if he didn't drink. "She's been so good today."
This description made Yu Li's hair stand on end. Kong Yizi is so obedient?
"As expected of someone who scored 5 in Chinese."
Isn’t it a sign of being a good person if he doesn’t cause trouble? Gao Zhuyan is innocent.
"Just watch." Yu Li relaxed her body and leaned back. She didn't believe that Kong Yizi really came here to play today. If she didn't confront her, it could only mean that she didn't want to cause trouble for her.
Less than ten minutes later, the people in Kong Yizi's circle suddenly burst into laughter. Kong Yizi clapped her hands and said, "Deputy Li likes gentle and pure women? I know someone like that. I'm sure Deputy Li will like her."
"Really? Call him over and have a look. Hahaha."
After-dinner activities with no restrictions on identity are bound to be a mixed crowd. When people are well fed and warm, they think about sex, so it is not surprising that they talk about such topics.
Yu Li looked at Hong Jae Heon in the corner. Hong Jae Heon noticed and raised the glass in his hand.
She looked away, and it was not her who was anxious. She packed up and prepared to leave, but the door of the box was pushed open again.
"Hello, this is Wen'an Food Delivery Service."
Yu Li paused in her attempt to stand up and sat back down. Gao Zhuyan took a look at the newcomer. She was a very young woman, about their age, softly speaking and beautiful. She was holding an insulated box, her phone screen lit, speaking to the person who had taken the order.
"Do you know him?" he asked Yu Li, noticing her unnaturalness just now.
"I know her," Yu Li nodded. Why was Jiang Hengzhu here? She couldn't believe anyone would order takeout in such a place, especially from Wen'an Restaurant.
Jiang Hengzhu is the person Hong Wuxu likes, and besides her, she is the only one who has a connection with Hong Wuxu——
"I'm here." Kong Yizi went over, took down the insulated box and put it aside, then pushed Jiang Hengzhu towards Representative Li. "How's it going, Representative Li? I didn't lie to you, did I?"
Jiang Hengzhu looked confused, not knowing what had happened: "Hello, the item has been delivered. Please check it. If there is no problem, I will go back."
"What's the rush?" Kong Yizi said indifferently, and pushed Jiang Hengzhu again, "How much money can you make delivering food? This is Representative Li from Dongyun Logistics. He can give you whatever you want."
Representative Li looked at Jiang Hengzhu with a smile, obviously very satisfied with her appearance. He liked this kind of pure and flawless look, which satisfied his selfish desires.
Jiang Hengzhu understood something and quickly broke free from Kong Yizi's hand and returned to the incubator: "Sorry, I'm in a hurry to deliver it to the next family. Please sign for it."
She took out the things in the incubator one by one.
Kong Yizi squinted her eyes and looked at it: "What is this, kimchi? Do you think we are in this place? Bringing out something like this is simply hilarious."
Jiang Hengzhu pursed her lips. It was clearly the meal ordered by the person who placed the order, and it wasn't something she insisted on delivering.
"Please sign for it."
Kong Yizi was so angry that she kicked the takeaway box that Jiang Hengzhu had placed on the table to the ground: "Ah Xi, you made my shoes dirty."
The ground was a mess.
Yu Li rubbed her forehead helplessly, and finally sent a message to Hong Wuxu. She didn't want to get involved in this matter, but after all, they were friends since childhood, so she still had to notify him.
Jiang Hengzhu was already facing off with Kong Yizi, with Representative Li in between. It had probably been a long time since they had seen such a hot pepper, so everyone around them became interested. The music stopped and they all looked at Jiang Hengzhu.
Jiang Hengzhu felt very uncomfortable and wanted to leave, but Kong Yizi wouldn't let her and pushed her towards Representative Li.
"You're just trying to get a good deal by being so coy now, why bother pretending?"
Jiang Hengzhu's face turned cold: "I don't want money."
"Hahaha." This caused a burst of laughter. Is there anyone in this world who doesn't love money?
Jiang Hengzhu pinched the fabric on her side with her fingers. How could an ordinary person like her fight against Kong Yizi? She turned her eyes and saw Yu Li in the corner.
His eyes lit up instantly: "Ms. Quan."
Can Kwon Wook-ri help her?
Miss Quan? Quan Yuli? Kong Yizi suppressed her smile. She didn't want to confront Quan Yuli today. She just wanted to deal with Jiang Hengzhu. She didn't expect Jiang Hengzhu to know Quan Yuli.
Could it be that Hong Wuxu and Jiang Hengzhu are already so close? All the friends around them have seen it.
Anger rushed to the top of my head.
When she was suddenly called, Yu Li sat there motionless. ISG's product delivery service was in cooperation with Dongyun. Helping Jiang Hengzhu would mean confronting Representative Li of Dongyun Logistics. Representative Li would naturally give her face in front of everyone, but it was not certain what he would think in private.
Why?
She would not refuse even if Jiang Hengzhu was replaced by Wu Qingyu, Zheng Ruizhen, or even Hong Baolin.
Businessmen pursue profit, so she has already done her part for Jiang Hengzhu by sending a message to Hong Wuxu.
But Yu Li didn't move. Jiang Hengzhu, probably scared, rushed out of the crowd and ran to Yu Li. "Ms. Quan, I didn't expect to see you here. How have you been lately?"
"You" became "you", and the tone was very intimate. Jiang Hengzhu wanted to tell Kong Yizi indirectly that she and Quan Yuli had an unusual relationship, and she should think twice before touching her.
Gao Zhuyan's eyes flashed. Is this woman taking advantage of Yu Li's power?
Jiang Hengzhu continued: "Do you like the coat I bought last time? I picked it out for a long time."
Yu Li raised her eyes and met Jiang Hengzhu's light eyes. Two days after the dinner, she received a new coat from Hong Wuxu. She said that Jiang Hengzhu picked it out personally and asked her to see if she liked it.
She put it in the corner of the closet and never wore it once.
"Ms. Quan?" After not getting a reply for a long time, Jiang Hengzhu bent down and moved closer, with pleading in her eyes.
Gao Zhuyan's face darkened. A stinky rat that came from nowhere also wanted to use moral blackmail to force Yu Li to use his connections to save her?
What a big face.
"Tsk." Yu Li finally moved. No one could force her to do anything, so she simply looked at Hong Jae-heon and said, "Come to think of it, you might as well go to him instead of me."
He? Jiang Hengzhu followed Yu Li and looked over. The man had a handsome face and was sitting aside watching the show. He didn't expect the fire to burn himself, and a little surprise appeared on his face.
"Me?" Hong Jae-heon pointed at himself, but the surprise disappeared in two seconds, and calmness returned to his face. "You have to explain it to me."
Yu Li said leisurely: "This Miss Jiang Hengzhu is your brother Hong Wuxu's 'good friend'."
She emphasized, "She's a very good friend. If anything happens to her, Wu Xu will definitely be sad."
On one side is Hong Wuxu's biological brother, and on the other side is Hong Wuxu's good friend. Let's see who Jiang Hengzhu is looking for.
Jiang Hengzhu was in a dilemma. Kwon Woo-ri had already made her attitude clear by asking her to find Hong Jae-heon. Kwon Woo-ri didn't want to help. If she continued to rely on Kwon Woo-ri, it might backfire. But she had never met Hong Jae-heon. Would he be willing to help her?
If they were brothers... Jiang Hengzhu walked up to Hong Jae-heon and asked, "Are you Wu Xu's brother?"
Wu Xu? Yu Li tilted her head to suppress the urge to laugh. When she first saw her in the restaurant that night, she thought she was really a pure little white rabbit, but it turned out that she was very smart.
Half a month ago, he was still "Mr. Hong" and knew exactly what to say and where to say it.
Jiang Hengzhu had already walked in front of Hong Jae-heon. Hong Jae-heon looked at her quietly without saying a word for a while.
After a while, Hong Jae-heon put down his wine glass. Kwon Woo-ri, oh Kwon Woo-ri, she really caused him trouble. He just revealed a little bit of his thoughts and Kwon Woo-ri came to "retaliate" against him.
If he doesn't help today, the outside world will know that he and Hong Wuxu have a bad relationship, and then they will know that Hong's father doesn't like him, and he will have many difficulties in inheriting the company.
Help, he felt sick.
Looking at Jiang Hengzhu's face, Hong Jae-heon looked around: "Such a beauty, no wonder Wu Xu likes her."
"Heh." Kong Yizi couldn't bear to listen any longer. "What beauty? That face is fake."
She had already found out that the plastic surgery she had done a year ago cost a lot of money.
Representative Li was unhappy: "Didn't you say she was pure?"
If you don't want to take things a step further, why would you have plastic surgery?
Kong Yizi spread her hands: "I just saw it from a close distance."
Ah Xi, can you still tell if she has had plastic surgery in such dim light?
No one present believed it.
All eyes fell on Jiang Hengzhu. Hong Jae-heon did not move for a while. Jiang Hengzhu became nervous. Just when she was about to say that it was understandable that she had plastic surgery, the door of the box was pushed open for the umpteenth time.
Bang!
Hong Wuxu rushed over, so anxious that he barely caught his breath.
"What's wrong with plastic surgery?" he said coldly. Jiang Hengzhu didn't close the door tightly when she delivered the food. He stood outside for a while and heard what Kong Yizi said.
He looked Kong Yizi over with contempt, and said disdainfully, "Kong Yizi? You seem to look different now than you did in junior high school. You all had plastic surgery, but you didn't make yourself look better. You're still as ugly as before.
