The 77th melon
Lin Cha couldn't understand what He Jingjing said.
She had a complicated expression, and after thinking for a while, she couldn't help but ask, "Ms. He, I don't quite understand. Yu Xiao is obviously married, so why are you trying to create a single persona for him? Isn't this deceiving his fans?"
He Jingjing looked at Lin Cha in surprise, not realizing she had done anything wrong. "Isn't it normal to claim you're single in the entertainment industry? Miss Lin, I remember that variety show you were on, that guest named Jiang Mingkai, right? He already has a child, but before the scandal broke, he also claimed to be single. And then there's that boy band whose scandals broke, and Wei Xinyi. Isn't publicly announcing singleness standard practice in the entertainment industry?"
He Jingjing, on the contrary, felt that Lin Cha's behavior was strange.
"But he's already married to you, and he's still having affairs with female celebrities!" Lin Cha looked disappointed, but thinking that she had no reason to know about He Jingjing's private affairs, she could only say, "I... I heard it from Mr. Situ. You've been married for three years now. In those three years, Yu Xiao has had a lot of scandals with other female celebrities, right? How can you tolerate this?"
Situ Qing only knew that He Jingjing had been married for three years, but he did not know that He Jingjing's marriage partner was Yu Xiao, otherwise he would not have agreed so easily to the proposal of letting Yu Xiao be the spokesperson some time ago.
He Jingjing wondered why Lin Cha knew that Yu Xiao was married before, but after thinking about it carefully, she realized that the truth would eventually come out.
"Brother Xiao told me everything," He Jingjing said softly, a hint of timidity flashing in her eyes, but she still insisted, "Besides, isn't this just hyping up couples? It's a common tactic in your entertainment industry. Brother Xiao has already reported it to me. It's nothing."
This sounded like he was trying to persuade Lin Cha.
But Lin Cha felt something was strange and frowned.
Should she say Ms. He is too naive or too foolish? If two celebrities collaborate, it could be considered a hype relationship, adding value to the product. But based on Yu Xiao's past scandals, is that really hype? Many of the female celebrities involved in scandals have never even worked with Yu Xiao!
Doesn’t He Jingjing even know this?
Lin Cha wanted to explain when she suddenly heard a man's voice behind her.
"Wife, I know you will understand me!"
Yu Xiao walked over leisurely, stood beside He Jingjing, and put his arm around her waist naturally.
The crystal lights from the banquet hall's ceiling shone down on Yu Xiao's deep facial features, making his face even more defined. He wore a dark blue Cassel haute couture suit, the well-cut shape accentuating his taller figure.
He Jingjing, who was standing next to Yu Xiao, was slightly plump, like a rolling ball.
Just a quick glance and you can tell that He Jingjing must be very rich.
When He Jingjing saw Yu Xiao, her gentle eyes lit up, watery and full of affection.
"Honey, you're here! I... I've already explained everything to Miss Lin. I'm sure Miss Lin won't make things difficult for me!" Then, He Jingjing looked at Lin Cha again, "Miss Lin, you'll help explain, right? I remember that the Cassel spokesperson contract mentioned that the spokesperson needs to maintain Cassel's image. Your remarks during the live broadcast today clearly damaged Brother Xiao's image. It's okay to post a harmless Weibo post for him, right?"
A meaningless Weibo post?
Lin Cha was silent.
Even though this was what He Jingjing wanted and it was something they had discussed, Lin Cha still felt unhappy.
It’s a pity that He Jingjing actually brought up the contract. Lin Cha had no choice but to reluctantly take out her cell phone from her handbag.
She searched Yu Xiao's Weibo, and found that Yu Xiao's Weibo square was in chaos. Fans were supporting Yu Xiao and forwarding beautiful pictures and videos to purify the square, but the real-time Weibo posts were all comments from passers-by. Obviously, many people believed Lin Cha's words and thought that Yu Xiao was secretly married and cheating.
——Lin Cha may not have as many die-hard fans as first-line stars, but "Leisure" has greatly increased her popularity. Moreover, in a variety show full of scandals, she has not been exposed and has become a "melon-eating and fun-loving person" representing the masses. Therefore, the audience has a good impression of Lin Cha.
As long as Lin Cha reposts Yu Xiao’s Weibo and admits that Yu Xiao is unmarried, Yu Xiao’s reputation will improve overnight.
Lin Cha edited her Weibo post. Looking at the insincere words on the screen, she hesitated and her finger was reluctant to press the button.
Yu Xiao became a little impatient. He looked at Lin Cha with disdain and unconsciously tightened his grip on the goblet.
"Why are you so hesitant to retweet a Weibo post? Lin Cha, figure out your own position! If it weren't for your recent momentum, would Cassel have asked you to be their spokesperson? Look at yourself, are you worthy? You'd better do whatever Jingjing asks you to do, otherwise, we can replace you in a minute!"
Lin Cha was about to press the send button, but paused when he heard this.
"If you replace me..." Lin Cha suddenly looked up, raised her eyebrows and smiled at Yu Xiao, her eyes even more contemptuous, "Can you still force me to post this Weibo?"
"What?"
Yu Xiao paused, unable to understand the logical relationship for a moment.
He Jingjing was also stunned for two seconds, but looking at Lin Cha's disdainful eyes, she quickly understood what Lin Cha meant.
Because Lin Cha is Cassell's contracted spokesperson, he should protect Cassell's rights and interests and, within the scope permitted by law, follow Cassell's instructions to post relevant remarks on social platforms.
If Lin Cha didn't do what he said, Kassel could terminate the contract. But because it was just a Weibo post that didn't reflect the facts, Kassel wouldn't be able to collect the liquidated damages from Lin Cha even if he went to court.
But if Lin Cha was going to be terminated, why did she post this Weibo? Instead, she brazenly claimed after the termination that Yu Xiao was married! She even deliberately teased her in the behind-the-scenes footage!
Yu Xiao wanted He Jingjing to force Lin Cha to clarify, just to use Cassel's contract to restrain Lin Cha, but he didn't expect to fall into a dilemma.
He Jingjing frowned, "Ms. Lin, aren't you really worried that I'll ask my father to replace you? Blue Blood endorsement, even if it's just for a product line, is still a great resource!"
"I don't know what Cha Cha is thinking, but is your company really planning to replace a rising female artist?" Sun Qianqian suddenly walked over to Lin Cha. "If I were a director of Cassel, I would definitely choose to replace another male spokesperson who's clearly married but still wants to be with a female celebrity. After all, one of Cassel's criteria for selecting a spokesperson for this couple's series was that the person had to be single, right?"
Sun Qianqian smiled and calmly shook the goblet in her hand. Inside was bubbling champagne, sparkling under the crystal chandelier.
"A male artist whose reputation could collapse at any moment and a female artist with great potential, I don't believe your company is so shortsighted~"
"Vice President Sun?"
He Jingjing was stunned. She didn't expect Sun Qianqian to defend Lin Cha so much, but she was only stunned for a moment, and her expression quickly returned to normal. "Brother Xiao won't let his reputation fall apart. Hype up the couple is just a means to an end. It's not a bad thing in the entertainment industry!"
Sun Qianqian snorted lightly and looked at He Jingjing beside Yu Xiao with disdainful eyes.
She seemed to see her former self.
Of course, she liked Zhao Kuan at that time and firmly believed that Zhao Kuan would not betray her, purely because she was confident in Zhao Kuan's face and her identity as the vice president of Star Entertainment.
But He Jingjing is probably not confident, but lovesick!
Sun Qianqian took out photos from her handbag, all of which were intimate photos of Yu Xiao and various female stars, including some of him being close to Lin Cha.
"Ms. He, look carefully, are these really just hyping up couples? Can't you see whether there are people using hype as an excuse to take advantage of girls?!"
During the Kassel dinner, reporters were not allowed inside and could only take photos at the door. So Sun Qianqian didn't hesitate and threw all those photos in Yu Xiao's face!
Photos fell down one after another, covering He Jingjing's surroundings.
Yu Xiao was caught off guard and slapped in the face. He cursed, "Sun Qianqian, what are you doing! This is all fake! It's not real!"
Sun Qianqian sneered, "Is it true or not? Don't you have any idea?"
"Jingjing, you have to believe me!"
Yu Xiao was startled when he saw the photos on the ground, but he quickly realized that keeping He Jingjing safe was the most important thing. He immediately said to her affectionately, "Jingjing, I love you! Who else in this world would love you this much besides me? These photos are just a show I made up to give you a better life! These are not real!"
He Jingjing picked up a few photos on the ground.
She looked at the smug Yu Xiao in the photo, and told herself countless times in her heart that it was all fake, and Brother Xiao was only doing it for work.
But seeing him hugging another woman, He Jingjing's nose felt sore and her eyes reddened unconsciously. She felt a sudden sense of grievance, but since this was a dinner party after all, she didn't show it at all.
Lin Cha praised Sun Qianqian loudly in her heart, "Boss Sun, awesome! I need proof! Is Yu Xiao just playing around with those female celebrities or is he genuinely interested? How could He Jingjing not see that?"
[Obviously, when he was with Ho Jing Jing, it was more like a casual affair!]
Suddenly, Lin Cha saw He Jingjing's slightly red eyes.
Lin tea meal.
The voice in my heart suddenly stopped.
He Jingjing couldn't hear Lin Cha's thoughts, so she took a deep breath and swallowed back the sourness that was rising into her nose.
"Vice President Sun, you don't need to show me these. I told you, Brother Xiao has reported all of this to me!" She said, holding Yu Xiao's hand tightly, "So I trust Brother Xiao!"
Sun Qianqian frowned.
This woman—did a zombie eat her brain and replace it with a love brain? How stubborn!
At this moment, Situ Qing and Mr. He came over.
When He Jingjing saw Mr. He appear, she immediately rushed over and shouted, "Dad!"
"Good girl!"
Mr. He rubbed He Jingjing's hair lovingly and asked, "Why are your eyes red? What wronged you?"
"Dad, it's all my fault. There was a misunderstanding with the company's new spokesperson," Yu Xiao said, taking the initiative. "Jingjing wanted to help me, but I didn't expect Vice President Sun to be so aggressive!"
Sun Qianqian: ???
What a master at turning the tables!
"Mr. Sun," Mr. He smiled as he looked at Sun Qianqian. He looked a lot like He Jingjing, but his eyes were exceptionally sharp, like an eagle circling in the sky. Even with a smile, a hint of coldness flashed in them. "We're all businessmen. It's just a Weibo post. If Miss Lin doesn't want to, she can just use the studio account."
Mr. He said slowly, "After all, it's a multi-million dollar contract. Why make it so unpleasant? If we terminate the contract afterward, even if Ms. Lin says something, it will be interpreted as her anger at being terminated. In that case, why don't we talk it over and find a solution that's beneficial to both of us?"
With a deft move, Director He effortlessly outlined the drawbacks of Lin Cha's contract termination. As a director, he had a longer-term perspective than He Jingjing and the others. Lin Cha's words were merely a scare tactic to He Jingjing and Yu Xiao.
If the contract is really terminated, no one will be happy, and someone else will get the title of spokesperson.
Sun Qianqian looked at Situ Qing, but she didn't expect Situ Qing to say anything, which meant he tacitly agreed to Mr. He's approach.
Mr. He had always been in charge of Kassel's public relations, so it was understandable that he wanted to promote his son-in-law. It would also be easy for him to replace Lin Cha.
Situ Qing is the CEO and of course has more power than Mr. He, but she and Lin Cha are not related, so there is no need to create a conflict between them because of Lin Cha.
After Mr. He finished speaking, the matter was almost finalized.
Afterwards, the two sides chatted casually, all of which were insignificant greetings. After confirming that Sun Qianqian would definitely let Lin Cha post on Weibo, Mr. He called his daughter and son-in-law and went to greet other senior executives of the company.
Sun Qianqian stood beside Situ Qing, watching Mr. He and his family leave happily, and whispered, "Sister Situ, you really want to let someone who might collapse your house be your spokesperson? How dangerous!"
Situ Qing still wore a gentle smile as he mingled with the various executives and investors at Cassel. He simply nodded and whispered to Sun Qianqian, "If Mr. He isn't afraid, why should I be? If something goes wrong, Mr. He's family will be the ones to pay the penalty and bear the responsibility. What does it have to do with me?"
Sun Qianqian: “…”
She is indeed a woman who can cosplay Voldemort and Lin Daiyu with Liu Mingqian! She looks gentle on the outside, but she is a devil at heart!
Seeing Sun Qianqian's face full of indignation after being humiliated, Situ Qing smiled and said, "You have to understand that Mr. He and Lin Cha are just strangers. At most, they have a cooperative relationship. Mr. He only favors his own people, so why would he favor a stranger?"
"Of course I know!" Sun Qianqian said bitterly. In fact, whether Yu Xiao's house collapsed or not had nothing to do with her. If it was Kassel who got into trouble in the future, it had nothing to do with her either.
But she was very upset when she saw the scumbag doing whatever he wanted!
Seeing that Sun Qianqian didn't understand what he meant, Situ Qing added, "Director He and Yu Xiao don't really have anything to do with each other."
"Sister Situ, what are you talking about?" Sun Qianqian was puzzled. "They are father-in-law and son-in-law, how can they have no relationship..."
Suddenly, Sun Qianqian looked at Mr. He and Yu Xiao.
He Jingjing stood between the two of them, with Chairman He on the left and Yu Xiao on the right. She was like a bridge, connecting the two closely.
If He Jingjing wasn't there, wouldn't Mr. He and Yu Xiao be strangers? Would he still be so protective of Yu Xiao?
Lin Cha didn't hear the conversation between Sun Qianqian and Situ Qing. She was also looking at He Jingjing not far away, muttering in her heart:
【Love-brained, love-brained! 】
[Oh, not only is she in love, but she also has low self-esteem! Ever since she was little, classmates have called her a fat pig. Now, it's rare for her to have a boyfriend who's a celebrity, so of course she doesn't want to let him go!]
[The cost of silence is too high, and it also makes one feel insecure! Yu Xiao, this scumbag, just took advantage of this point in He Jingjing!]
[A girl with low self-esteem meets a PUA man, and she doesn’t even know how she got played to death! ]
How did he get played to death?
Of course I have to let He Jingjing know how she was played to death!
Sun Qianqian's eyes lit up.
After all, she is the vice president of a company. There is no reason for her to be humiliated after growing up!
Sun Qianqian quickly walked over to Mr. He and put on a professional smile. "Mr. He, Ms. He, you know Tianyao's variety show 'Leisure Life', right? Are you interested in being a guest on it?"
Of course, Mr. He and He Jingjing had no interest in participating in variety shows, as they were both amateurs. But this did not stop Sun Qianqian from lobbying, nor did it stop Mr. He and He Jingjing from reluctantly agreeing to participate just to save face.
After all, Sun Qianqian said that if the schedule doesn’t work by then, then forget it.
Yu Xiao was also a guest.
"Leisure" has been very popular recently, so of course Yu Xiao wants to be a guest. Besides, He Jingjing and Mr. He will help him keep the fact of his marriage a secret, so he is not worried about his reputation being exposed.
All three of them thought that this was just a simple invitation.
But the moment they agreed, everything changed.
Lin Cha's favorability rating for the three of them suddenly flashed through his mind. The three members of the He family were all shocked, especially He Jingjing. She found that Lin Cha's favorability rating for her was 32, but for Xiao, it was only 3!
Brother Xiao is so nice... She initially thought that Lin Cha was interested in Brother Xiao, but it turns out that she has no feelings for Brother Xiao at all?
Even her father, Mr. He, has a favorability rating of 21. Lin Cha's favorability rating for Xiao is actually not as high as her father!
Moreover, Lin Cha's favorability towards Xiao is still declining!
Lin Cha and Zhou Zexu sat on the sofa in a corner of the banquet hall. She held a cake in her hand and ate it bite by bite. Her heart was also restless. She glanced at He Jingjing from time to time and sighed repeatedly.
[Alas! Why does He Jingjing have to be so self-deprecating towards Yu Xiao? Does she really think Yu Xiao is so handsome? Come on! That face is fake!]
[Oh! Not only is his face fake, but even his abs are fake! Don't be fooled by his well-defined eight-pack abs, they're the result of plastic surgery!]
Yu Xiao even used PUA on He Jingjing, saying she was fat. He didn't even think about the fact that if it weren't for today's high-tech technology, would he be able to have the body he has now?
【How shameless! 】
He Jingjing glanced at Yu Xiao.
His face is fake?
The abdominal muscles that feel so good are actually fake?
He Jingjing found it hard to accept for a while.
In fact, she could more or less tell that Yu Xiao's face was not his natural one, and he might have had some injections or some minor surgery, but she didn't expect that his entire face was the result of plastic surgery!
And the abdominal muscles...
Those are He Jingjing’s favorite abdominal muscles!
How can they all be fake!
Yu Xiao shuddered.
Before he could recover from the shock of being able to hear Lin Cha's inner voice, he saw He Jingjing looking at him in surprise.
He heard Lin Cha's thoughts, and Jingjing actually heard them too!
Wouldn't He Jingjing believe Lin Cha's words then?
"Jingjing! She's talking nonsense!" Yu Xiao argued anxiously, "I, I didn't have plastic surgery! She's deliberately slandering me!"
He Jingjing looked at Lin Cha.
But Lin Cha couldn't hear any sound from He Jingjing at all. She was still eating cake with an innocent look on her face, and continued to browse the melons about Yu Xiao and her.
Since Lin Cha didn't even know that her inner voice could be heard, how could she be talking nonsense?
"This is a conspiracy!" Yu Xiao panicked, his tone becoming increasingly tense as he thought of excuses. "This must be a conspiracy by Vice President Sun and his gang to alienate us! Nothing she said is true!"
He Jingjing was silent for a while.
In fact, she doesn't mind Yu Xiao getting plastic surgery on his face or abdominal muscles.
Although she felt uncomfortable when she heard these things at first, He Jingjing did not choose her partner based on appearance. She chose Yu Xiao more because Yu Xiao was different from others and was the best person in the world to her.
If it was just Lin Cha's inner thoughts, she could still accept it. She didn't want to lose Yu Xiao...
But before He Jingjing could say these words to Xiao, she heard Lin Cha's thoughts again.
Previously, the two groups were separated by a distance, and He Jingjing could only barely hear Lin Cha's inner voice. But at this moment, Lin Cha seemed to have discovered a new world, and his inner voice instantly became excited -
【Oh shit oh shit oh shit! 】
Yu Xiao had plastic surgery on his abs, but even his giant water python was created through plastic surgery~~
[Hahahaha, it was 3cm before, now it's 18cm! I have to say, China's plastic surgery technology is really amazing. Awesome!!!]
He Jingjing:?
On-site guests: ???
etc?
Giant python in the water?
Is it the giant python in the water that they saw in the short videos?
That thing... can also be made?!
