Chapter 73 The Movie Queen and the Rich Second Generation
The public personas in the entertainment industry are just that—a facade, nothing more than a means to make money.
It's also part of a celebrity's job.
Of course, some of them are real, but in some cases, the fake is more real than the real.
Even the real ones look fake.
The audience didn't believe it at all.
That's just how people are; they only believe what they believe.
Even if it were true, they wouldn't believe anything outside of their own beliefs.
Shaoyang happens to be one of these.
He presents himself to the public as a playboy and rich second-generation, and many people call him a playboy.
I don't believe he's a rich kid.
Shaoyang is indeed a rich second-generation and a playboy; his family owns a hotel chain.
Many five-star hotels have their presence.
Shao Yang, the second son, instead of inheriting the family business, suddenly had the idea to enter the entertainment industry.
Many second-generation rich kids who don't inherit the family business choose to do some respectable things.
For example, a small business owner, or someone who works a 9-to-5 job.
It's not for making money, it's just to fool my parents and let them know that they are working seriously.
Whether or not it actually yielded results is not important.
Gu Tingxiao knew several rich second-generation individuals around him who, instead of inheriting the family business, went to work in the internet industry, start software companies, or design companies.
He hires a group of people to work for him. The young master owns many companies, and they are all basically operating at a loss.
He relies entirely on his family for money to pay his salary, just so his family can see that he's doing something worthwhile.
When the parents talk about their son, they say he does nothing and just mooches off them at home.
It's respectable to take it out; it's not shameful.
Of course, this kind of serious business does not include becoming a celebrity.
In the eyes of many older generations with outdated views, celebrities are just actors, considered low-class.
Everyone knows the entertainment industry is chaotic, and no one wants their precious child to fall into that dark and murky world and pick up bad habits.
My home in Shaoyang is the old kind.
When he entered the industry, his elders told him to go back immediately.
Just like Director Hu, this guy stubbornly refused to go back no matter what.
Later, he had a fight with his family, and they couldn't persuade him otherwise, so they agreed.
It was just agreed in advance that if anything serious happened, I would have to go home.
Shaoyang had been involved in many scandals before, and his elders had asked him to go home.
He refused to return to Shaoyang, and his family used their connections to blacklist him for a period of time.
This forced Shaoyang to personally step forward, explain the situation, and clarify the video.
Nowadays, promotion is basically only done for the purpose of airing a drama series.
People in Shaoyang are afraid of getting into trouble, so they all stay far away.
Who knew that later it was rumored that this person had a different sexual orientation.
He doesn't like pretty girls, he prefers little boys.
A series of online pairings have emerged, with netizens creating videos pairing him with various men he has worked with.
Of course, they wouldn't dare to spread it in front of the person in question; they only dared to spread it in private.
As long as the matter didn't escalate, the family in Shaoyang turned a blind eye.
Gu Tingxiao knew that Shao Yang had a girlfriend and a fiancée he was engaged to.
His fiancée was arranged by his family, and he didn't like her.
He dated girls everywhere, but broke up with each one after a few months once the novelty wore off.
He can walk among countless flowers without a single petal clinging to him; he's excellent at keeping secrets.
In addition, his girlfriends were all non-celebrity women, and they were basically never photographed.
What's going on with Qiao Han? How did she get involved with him?
Judging from the intimacy shown in the photos, they don't seem like ordinary friends.
If this gets out, Qiao Han's market value will be dragged down by the scandal.
How did the two of them meet?
The assistant stepped forward, explaining that he had also looked into these matters.
"The two just finished working together on a period drama, where they play a married couple. The drama is still under review, but it will be released soon. That's why their agent managed to suppress the matter."
"Has she been having a lot more scandals lately?"
Gu Tingxiao just saw that Qiao Han has been involved in various scandals lately.
She acts like a diva, is late, leaves early, changes scripts without permission, and even claims to have a mysterious boyfriend.
Qiao Han cherishes her reputation most, so why are there so many new rumors circulating lately?
Especially the rumors with Shao Yang, they seem like a bombshell no matter how you look at it.
"There are quite a few. I don't know who I've offended recently. There have been a lot of leaks. Our public relations department is also investigating who did it, but there are no results yet."
The agent has been pressuring Qiao Han to join the film crew lately, worried that other problems might arise.
"Yes, be careful. Don't let a small loss ruin the image you've built up over many years."
"Yes, I know."
The assistant nodded seriously, wondering why the boss was suddenly paying attention to the actress's scandal.
He usually doesn't want to get involved in these kinds of rumors.
He often said that he only grasps the general direction and that he, as the president, should handle everything. What are these people supposed to do?
The assistant even speculated whether President Gu had feelings for Actress Qiao.
For the sake of love, he would change his usual habits and decide to show his domineering protectiveness towards his wife.
Gu Tingxiao could tell at a glance that his assistant was overthinking things again.
This assistant is great in every way, except she loves to imagine all sorts of dramatic scenarios in her head, all of which are about a domineering CEO falling in love with me.
Gu Tingxiao grabbed the tie of his assistant who was standing to the side.
The assistant was suddenly pulled and fell directly onto the table.
Thanks to his youth and quick reflexes, he managed to brace himself against the edge of the table.
Only then did he manage to prevent the insubordination of the general, Gu Tingxiao, from being pinned down in a chair.
"Mr. Gu... what do you want to do?"
I am still a respectable married man, and I will remain chaste for my goddess and will never succumb to capitalism.
Gu Tingxiao reached out and flicked his assistant hard on the head.
"Clear the garbage out of your head. Imagining things is a disease, but imagining me is an even more incurable one."
"Yes, yes, Mr. President, I was wrong. Can you let go of my hand?"
The assistant tugged at his tie desperately, but President Gu held on tightly and couldn't pull it back.
The assistant was sweating with anxiety.
Why can't you speak properly? Your actions have the prelude to a domineering CEO's forced love, making it hard not to overthink things.
Gu Tingxiao pulled him closer and whispered in his ear.
The assistant quickly dodged away and covered her ears.
"Mr. Gu! If you continue like this, I will sue you for workplace sexual harassment. I will use legal means to protect myself."
"What do you think about all day? I like women."
Even if I like men, given my circumstances, I'll find someone good-looking.
Look at yourself in the mirror. Do you really need to worry about me harassing you?
"Who knows if you have a strange taste? People say the CEO's gaze is unusual."
"Hey, come closer."
The assistant cautiously leaned closer and put his ear to it.
Gu Tingxiao whispered a few words in his ear before loosening his tie.
"Do you understand?"
"Understood."
"Then go and do it!"
"yes."
On the other side, Zhou Ran and Xia Chengping had already gotten into the car. The driver started the car only after seeing the two of them get in.
"Are the two young masters going home next?"
"Yes, let's go home."
Zhou Ran gestured for them to go home, and the car slowly drove out of the underground parking lot.
Zhou Ran looked out the window, as if she had seen something, and her lips curled up slightly.
"What are you laughing at? Did you see something?"
When Xia Chengping saw Zhou Ran's malicious smile, he couldn't help but peek in the direction Zhou Ran had been looking.
There's nothing there? Can you see things I can't?
Xia Chengping suddenly grabbed Zhou Ran's arm.
He asked cautiously, "Can you see ghosts?"
"Yes, you can!"
"Holy crap!! Really? Where's the ghost?"
"You have a dark side to you, can't you be normal for once?"
"Oh, oh. At least it's not a ghost."
Let go of me.
Xia Chengping then released his hand.
After they left the Gu family's company, Zhou Ran spoke again.
"Master Yu, did you see anything in the underground parking lot just now?"
"It was rush hour, so there were a lot of people coming and going. I didn't see anything, but it seemed like some people were loitering in the parking lot. I didn't get out of the car, so I didn't see what they did."
"Okay, sure."
"Should I go to Gu's company to check the surveillance footage?"
"No need, Gu Tingxiao can handle it himself."
Zhou Ran refused outright. He wasn't anyone to him, so why should he care whether he lived or died?
They quickly returned to Xiahou Nan's home.
This isn't an old house; they don't live in old houses. Everyone lives together according to their own preferences.
Xia's father and mother like to grow things.
They live in a villa with a small courtyard.
Xia Chengjie lives in the dormitory due to his personality and work.
Xia Chengan and Xia Chengping didn't want to be controlled, so they partnered up and lived in a high-rise apartment near the school.
Because of his obsessive-compulsive disorder and his love of quiet, Xia Chenggan lived on the top floor of the apartment building closest to his company.
As for Xia Chengjun, he is currently living alone abroad.
They each lived in their own separate households.
If it weren't for the fact that Xia Chenggan and Zhou Ran were getting married this time, and Xia's mother was forcing them to stay in the villa where they lived.
They estimate they will continue to live separately, each returning to their own homes.
After Xia Chengan and Xia Chengping got into trouble, they stayed at the villa for two days before going back to their own house.
For convenience and peace and quiet.
Xia Chengjie is still not well and dares not put too much weight on his feet. He is still living under the watchful eyes of his parents.
This time, they went back to the villa where Xia's mother lived.
They went inside, and Xia Chenggan had already returned.
Seeing them return looking travel-worn, I asked them curiously.
"Where have you been? Why are you only coming back now? And you're all filthy!"
"We went to Gu Tingxiao's company for a visit."
Xia Chengping rushed over, sat down next to his mother, and told her about what happened at the Gu family company.
His tone was exaggerated and excited.
"You have no idea how unlucky that Director Hu is. Gu Tingxiao said he..."
"Your son's acting skills are absolutely appalling..."
Xia Chengping kept talking nonstop.
Xia's mother listened attentively, her smile gentle.
Zhou Ran looked at Xia Chenggan and said in a low voice, "I'm going to wash up."
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
Xia Chenggan said gently, watching Zhou Ran leave.
Then, after reaching out to Xia Chengping, he was slapped.
"Stop fooling around and hurry up and change your clothes. We're going out to eat, or we'll be late and won't wait for you."
"Okay, okay, wait for me."
Worried that his brother wouldn't wait for him, Xia Chengping quickly jumped up from the sofa and rushed upstairs to his room.
At Gujia Company, some people were already leaving get off work downstairs, but some staff members were still on duty.
Gu Tingxiao glanced at his watch; it was already 7:30 PM. He rubbed his sore shoulders, stood up, and went downstairs to go home.
The bodyguard saw him leave and followed him into the elevator.
In the secretary's office, someone secretly glanced at Gu Tingxiao as he entered the elevator and quickly sent a text message on his phone. Author's Note: Thank you to my mentor 9492239 (9492239) for your support! For more exciting content, please leave a message for this book on Liancheng Reading.
