The fact that the majority of netizens can search for relevant information about "Chao Juan" means that those young men who want to pursue women can also find it.
They were troubled by the fact that they could not get Chao Juan's contact information, and even if they asked someone to find a connection, they would only get a cold rejection at best.
Chengjia is the investor, and Chengpin Lan declined, saying that it was not right for her to give out her contact information to others without their consent. When asked about the director, Wang Chi also said very coldly, "I'm sorry, I asked Miss Chao, but she doesn't want to add strangers."
The young masters could only stare blankly.
When the encyclopedia content was updated and news related to Chao Juan appeared, they all went to search without exception.
After hearing the news, many people became depressed.
It's true that this beauty's assets are comparable to what their parents have worked hard for half their lives... If they really let them chase her, should they sacrifice themselves to be gigolos and live with rich women, or should they be rich men and keep beautiful women?
In front of them was Chao Juan's cold attitude, and in the back there was someone whose wealth was equal to theirs. For a time, many young masters' thoughts were repelled.

After Chao Juan's information was updated on the Internet, many people began to ask questions about "Chao Family" and "Chao Lingxi".
In the movie, many plots in the novel were deleted and modified, and the plot in which Hua Rongying learned about You Xiao's original mortal identity from the mortal world did not appear.
This is normal. After all, the movie is only a few hours long. It is really difficult to tell the story of a million words. The script only selected representative plots to perform. It is already a great achievement to tell the main plot clearly from beginning to end.
But the name "Chao Lingxi" did appear in "The Merciless Dao", although only in a few short lines and a small plot.
There is a certain chance that senior fans of the book and casual fans of Chao Juan overlap. One day, after Chao Juan's encyclopedia information was updated, someone posted a message saying that it was a real coincidence that when rereading the novel, they found that Chao Juan's father had the same name as You Xiao's ordinary name!
"Surprise, has anyone noticed that You Xiao's former name was "Chao Lingxi"? The same name as Chao Juan's father!"
"I noticed it too... but it must be a coincidence."
"It must be a coincidence. For example, in the QD site next door, "Ao Shi Qun Xiong", isn't there a harem heroine whose name is the same as XXX's name?"
"I guess the author just came up with a random name, and it just happened to be the same as the person. But it's also a coincidence... There is actually someone with this name in real life."
"What are you looking at?" Yan Yongwang nudged Chao Lingxi, who was browsing on his phone, with his finger and asked curiously.
Chao Lingxi closed the forum page he was reading, looked up, and answered obediently: "Browse the Internet."
He saw his daughter narrow her eyes and stared at him suspiciously for a while, but couldn't figure out what she was saying, so he stopped asking and said calmly, "Spend less time on your phone and pay attention to your eyes."
To Lingxi: “I know!”
Today is April 20th.
It usually takes a month for a movie to be released in theaters. If the audience feedback is good, the theater groups in which the major investors have invested will extend the release period. Wang Chi's movies have always been like this. Since the first movie became a hit, each of his movies has been released in theaters for more than a month, and basically forty days or more.
It was once the best movie ever and it was released for three months and also got the best box office results.
The performance of "Ruthless" may not be better than Wang Chi's best film, but it is not too bad either.
When you go shopping, you can see promotions for the movie "The Merciless" in every business district in big or small cities. It used to be a promotional picture with the lead actor Chen Haohan in the center. Until today, the LED promotional pictures in many cities have been replaced with promotional pictures with Hua Rongying in the center and a carousel of Chen Haohan.
The question is, the audience thinks Hua Rongying is really pleasing to the eye, and the promotional pictures are also breathtakingly beautiful, which makes them want to go to the cinema to watch it.
Chen Haohan's fans were initially dissatisfied with the promotional move of changing the C position, thinking that this was stealing Chen Haohan's C position. They were also ready to question the Wuqingdao official Weibo, asking what kind of brazen operation this was.
Unexpectedly, before they could gather online to question, they received a message from Chen Haohan's team, saying that they should not make a fuss over such a small matter. After all, changing the promotional pictures was also an action that would benefit the box office.
In order to ensure that the leading actor's box office performance steadily increases, there is really no need to quibble over such matters.
And it is true that the promotional picture with "Hua Rongying" as the C position is really beautiful, and it has a completely different feeling from the promotional picture with Chen Haohan as the C position.
The fans paused, and Chen Haohan also relaxed.
He scratched his head and said to his agent with emotion: "It's not surprising to me that Sister Juanjuan has become so popular."
"Why, are you a fortune teller?"
The agent teased him.
Chen Haohan: "Well, she is so - beautiful, and her acting is great. The role of Hua Rongying seems to be tailor-made for her. With a good production, a good script, and a good director, it's inevitable that she will become popular." He sees these things very clearly. She is not like a "silly baby" who doesn't understand much as people say.
The agent said: "Aren't you angry? It's the crew's manipulation."
"No," Chen Haohan was relieved quickly. He smiled and had a good temper. "It's all for the box office."
"And I really need box office results, also for my career."
He soon became complacent again: "Make a lot of money and buy the best dog food and the best canned dog food for my Dr. Huang!"
The agent: "..." He guessed it right. This artist's current pursuit is to make a lot of money to buy the best food and toys for the dog!

Chen He learned about Chao Juan's family background during a chat in the tea room with his colleagues in the secretarial department.
He is always busy. Sometimes when he wants to do something, he will be distracted by other things after a while and naturally forget what he was going to do.
Yan Yongwang once said in a serious tone that he had the memory of a middle-aged man, with a three-second memory like a goldfish.
Maybe he had thought about investigating Chao Juan's affairs before, but forgot about it after a while. He still got the latest news from his colleagues.
"Chao Juan is so rich, oooooo, a rich and pretty woman! I love Liao!"
"I also want to have such a good father, who will leave all his inheritance to his daughter after his death!"
"Who isn't? If I had so much money, I could just keep a little puppy as a mistress!"
Chen He caught a key word and thought, wait, Chao Juan’s father has passed away?
Suspicious, he calmly said, "Are you tired at the morning?"
"Hey, Brother Chen, do you remember the last time you treated us to a meal and took us to see a movie?"
"Hua Rongying! Senior Sister! Do you remember the role played by Chao Juan?"
Chen He took a sip of coffee and said, "I remember." He paused and said with a smile, "A big beauty."
"Yes, the Wikipedia updated her information a while ago. Here, take a look." The colleague who was holding up his phone to show him sighed with envy: "This is the life of the heroine in a novel. A young lady born into a wealthy family inherited her father's estate, then got bored and started acting, and ended up becoming a huge star!"
Chen He quickly read the information in the encyclopedia.
He was surprised to notice the familiar name "Chao Lingxi".
However, according to the encyclopedia, Chao Lingxi has been dead for many years.
However, there is a "Chao Lingxi" in reality, who also claims to be Chao Juan's father and posts about his baby daughter Chao Juan in his circle of friends every day.
Even, that Chao Lingxi appeared from the "cemetery" in Ling City.
He felt a little hairy all over.
Colleagues were still talking and chatting, from time to time talking about the latest gossip in the entertainment industry to the love-hate relationship between the cats and dogs next door.
Chen He drank up the coffee in the cup and felt the same huge sense of weightlessness as when he met "Chao Lingxi" in Ancheng.
He restrained his expression and walked out.
The colleagues watched the door of the tea room close and gradually lowered their voices. After a while, someone spoke up: "Just now... Secretary Shen, did you do something wrong?"
"Uh...I think so?"
Everyone looked at each other, not understanding what was going on.
…
"Boss." When Chen He entered the office, his voice was unusually tense and panicked. He urgently supported his hands on both sides of the desk and met Yan Yongwang's confused eyes.
"What's wrong?"
Chen He's appearance made Yan Yongwang stunned. He thought something serious had happened, so he immediately focused and asked anxiously, "What happened?"
Mr. Secretary has a very handsome face. He is a middle-aged man who is over 35 and about to turn 40.
He is always calm and gentle, rarely in such a hurried moment.
To the extent that, his panic made Yan Yongwang a little dazed.
Chen He: "Towards Lingxi——"
Yan Yongwang immediately knew what he wanted to say.
He had this awareness as early as when Chao Juan's information appeared in the encyclopedia. When others see the three words "Chao Lingxi", if they still remember the content of the few lines that appeared in "The Merciless Way", they will think of the villain's surname in the mortal world.
But that's the most we can do.
Reality is not a fantasy drama. No one would use their imagination to think that Chao Juan's father Chao Lingxi has something to do with "The Ruthless Road".
I just think it's just a coincidence.
Just like the protagonist "Li Hua" in the college entrance examination English composition, there are so many Li Huas across the country, can we substitute them all?
All I can say is that the names coincide accidentally, and Chao Juan herself has a strong connection with "The Ruthless Way" - her deceased father and the character in the novel have the same name.
No matter how many??, there won’t be.
But Chen He's situation is different. He doesn't necessarily care about the same name as Chao Lingxi in "The Ruthless Way", but he cares more about the "Chao Lingxi" who appears next to Yan Yongwang at this time.
He and he saw with their own eyes that Chao Lingxi emerged from Ling City Cemetery, and was beside Chao Juan, claiming to be her father.
Regardless of whether he has read the novel "The Ruthless Way" or knows the former name of the villain You Xiao, at least at this moment, the problem that needs to be solved urgently is this -
Chao Lingxi, this guy?, what on earth is going on? ! ! !
Yan Yongwang said: "What happened to Chao Lingxi?"
Chen He widened his eyes and stammered, "Have you ever read Chao Juan's encyclopedia information? It says that Chao Juan's father Chao Lingxi has passed away."
"He's been dead for more than ten years? Almost twenty years."
Yan Yongwang said calmly: "I don't have time to search for these." This is understandable. For example, Chen He also didn't have time to search for this information himself, or he only knew about it through chatting with colleagues.
His face was very serious, and he looked like he really wanted to say something.
Yan Yongwang raised his chin, waiting for Chen He to express his guess.
Chen He pressed his hands hard on the desk, "Is he Chao Juan's biological father?"
I asked this question first, and Yan Yongwang chose to shake his head, indicating that he was not sure, but he still honestly stated his guess: "It doesn't look like age."
"He only told me that he was a relative of Chao Juan."
He? Very calm, very cool.
Shen He: "Wait——"
When he saw Yan Yongwang's expression, he felt relieved. At the same time, he realized that there was a key piece of information that he had overlooked.
age.
Chao Juan's father, Chao Lingxi, was born in the encyclopedia. If he had lived to the present day, he should be in his fifties.
And the Chao Lingxi he knew, according to Yan Yongwang, was only in his forties this year - a middle-aged man in his forties with a very young face.
"In what year was Chao Lingxi born?"
Yan Yongwang gave a year, and Chen He calculated, "He? Forty-five years old this year?"
"Yes." This is the exact number on Chao Lingxi's ID card. When he came to this world, he got a new ID card, and even his household registration could not be put together with Chao Juan's.
From a legal perspective, the living Chao Lingxi and Chao Juan are not related.
But Chao Lingxi was a person who could not keep her mouth shut, calling her "my daughter" and "beautiful girl" every day. It was only a matter of time before Chen He noticed something suspicious about this.
Chen He relaxed a little. He undoubtedly believed very much in modern information records.
"Then they are not the same person?"
"What's wrong?" Yan Yongwang pretended not to understand and asked him. Chen He supported his forehead and smiled at him helplessly.
"I thought he was dead? He's resurrected."
"But think about it, it's unlikely," Chen He shrugged. "A dead person? Can he be resurrected and have the ability to get the certificate and buy a house smoothly?"
It was the fact that Chao Lingxi bought a house next to his that made Chen He confirm that Chao Lingxi's identity document should be that of a normal person under the public security system.
Yan Yongwang thought with a bit of pity, his secretary, what a poor thing.
I completed the logical chain for myself - but, few of them are correct?
But what can he say? He can't say anything, he can only say calmly: "Why don't you go ask Chao Lingxi why he calls Chao Juannu's goose every day?"
Shen He clenched his fist: "I think I really need to ask."
He was still confused in his heart. For example, why, as a relative, Chao Lingxi had the same name and surname as Chao Juan's father?
Why do you still call Chao Juan "daughter"?
There are so many questions. The secretary had a big question mark on his forehead. For a moment, he chose to sit on the sofa in the boss's office during working hours and take out his mobile phone.
Yan Yongwang silently closed the document in front of him, supported his face with one hand, and watched Chen He work.
As soon as Chen He found the contact number of "Chao Lingxi" in the address book, he noticed that his boss was staring at him quietly.
With an incomparably handsome face and deep eyes, he looked at him quietly.
Inexplicably, it was like a cat with shiny black fur, licking its paws, with its pupils slightly contracted, staring at people intently.
Chen He: "Boss, just do your thing."
Yan Yongwang was calm and composed: "I am also looking forward to his answer."
Therefore, Shen He felt that he had a huge responsibility on his shoulders: "Boss, I must get an answer."
As if claws were scratching his heart, Chen He typed carefully and sent it to Chao Lingxi.
After a while, he typed furiously.
After a while, he looked at his phone and pursed his lips solemnly.
Yan Yongwang raised his voice slightly: "What do you mean?"
Chen He raised his head and looked at him blankly. After a while, he said, "Chao Lingxi said that he is Chao Juan's father."
Yan Yongwang didn't find this answer surprising at all. He just gritted his teeth calmly and decided to call that idiot when he got back.
Before the thought had lasted long in his mind, Chen He said, "I asked him, didn't he say that Chao Juan's father had passed away?"
"He replied to me - he is her, her daddy fan."
Yan Yongwang accidentally dropped the phone in his hand, then picked it up silently.
Chen He hesitated: "You mean, he is chasing his relative?"
Yan Yongwang: “…”
Chen He was still in a daze: "Hey, he should be joking with me, right?"
Yan Yongwang hooked his finger: "Show me your phone? Show me?"
Chen He handed it over obediently, and Yan Yongwang quickly browsed through their chat history.
the following:
Chen He: "Mr. Chao, are you there?"
Towards Lingxi: "Yes, what's up?"
Chen He: "It's like this, I'm more curious about your relationship with Miss Chao Juan..."
Towards Lingxi: "I'm her father!"
Shen He: "...Wait, didn't her father die?"
Chao Lingxi: "Oh, I missed a word. I am her ? daddy fan."
[Note: This is a reply from Chen He three minutes after he raised his doubt.]
Chen He: "Well, excuse me, what is your relationship with Miss Chao Juan?"
Chao Lingxi: "......"
Towards Lingxi: "I am her... distant uncle."
Yan Yongwang could fully imagine the frustration he felt when he typed the words "distant uncle" to Lingxi, and the completely different feeling when he happily sent the word "dad".
He frowned. This was the end.
Chao Lingxi's message of "I am your distant uncle" was delivered only after Yan Yongwang asked for his cell phone.
So Yan Yongwang returned the phone to Chen He and said calmly, "Chao Lingxi said that he is Chao Juan's uncle."
"...Of course, I know you've always been curious about why I seem to have a good relationship with Chao Lingxi."
Yan Yongwang had always been aware of the doubts in Chen He's heart, so he decided to solve them today: "He helped me a little."
"What's the matter?"
"He knows something about my parents."
It is enough to explain here. There are many things that adults do that do not need to be explained in full.
Just like Yan Yongwang and Chen He, even though they have a close boss-secretary relationship, there are things they hide from each other.
Chen He also? He won’t ask any further questions.
He seemed to be thinking: "I saw that Chao Juan's company had cooperated with Yan's before... Chao Lingxi must have met Madam and Mr. at that time, right?"
The information on the encyclopedia adds to Shen He's reasoning, and it's very reasonable.
Yan Yong thought about it briefly and recalled that the company that had been managed by the person in charge on the encyclopedia was indeed a cooperation when Yan's was managed by Yan Chi and Shi Xianyuan. In recent years, he has not reached any cooperation with those companies.
Chen He grabbed the phone and replied to Lingxi with a few words.
Not long after, he said in amazement: "I asked Chao Lingxi again why he and Chao Juan's father have the same name."
"You know him? What's your reply?"
"What?"
"He told me that this is the tradition of their Chao family. When a person dies, it's like a light goes out. Even names can be used."
"His distant cousin died, so he took this name."
Yan Yongwang: “&*(%#%…”Chao Lingxi, you are worthy of being me.
Chen He: "Damn, I've never heard of any family with such a tradition? If it's really like Chao Lingxi, wouldn't there be only a few names in his family tree that are used in rotation?"
Yan Yongwang: "Maybe he just thought the name sounded nice, so he used it for himself." He tried to save face for the other person, but after he said it, he suddenly felt that what he said was worse than not saying it.
Chen He: "Okay, I know he's not dead, so just resurrect him." That weird "same name, same surname", although the reason sounds absurd, it is not impossible.
The territory is vast, who knows which ethnic group has which customs?
After all, he also knew that in some places, if a wife's husband died, the wife could be inherited by her husband's brothers.
Such a ridiculous bad habit still exists, so the Chao family's "custom" of "inheriting the name" doesn't sound so strange.
He couldn't even bear to say how panicked he was just now - just because if Chao Lingxi was really some guy who came back from the dead, then if he approached Yan Yongwang, wouldn't that mean that Yan Yongwang was in danger?
After thinking about it, I didn't think about myself and just felt that I had to tell Yan Yongwang about this matter as soon as possible.
Fortunately, the result is good?
Yan Yongwang told him that Chao Lingxi's date of birth did not match that of "Chao Lingxi", and Chao Lingxi had legitimate identity and property certificates to purchase a house, which also ruled out the existence of supernatural events to a certain extent. Of course, he still felt that it was a bit strange for him to appear in the Lingshi cemetery at that time, not to mention that the police thought he was a person with mental problems at that time, but in the end, he appeared in the capital smoothly...
But Yan Yongwang didn't care about this matter, so there was no need for him to be alarmed.
Even if you have doubts in your heart, you don't have to show them outwardly.
He decided to investigate privately.
Seeing that Chen He was still a little frightened, Yan Yongwang propped up his face and said to him lazily: "If you still have doubts, why not ask Chao Juan."
"Don't you also have Chao Juan's contact information?"
Chen He: "That's right. If both sides agree, the truth will come out."
He glanced at the clock in his office and sighed, "But not now. I've wasted too much time on this matter. I have to get back to work."
"Let's talk about it when we have time."
Chen He waved his hand and walked out.
Before he had taken two steps, he turned around again and suddenly asked Yan Yongwang: "Do you think Chao Juan is pretty?"
"Why do you ask?"
He saw his young boss frowning slightly and looking at him coldly and indifferently, with no emotion in his eyes.
This is the expression he always maintains: cold and cool, like a perfect statue.
"I think she is very pretty, and the secretaries are all impressed by her looks."
Chen He noticed that Yan Yongwang swallowed his saliva slowly twice, his Adam's apple moving, as if he wanted to say something, but held it back.
Mr. Secretary: "She is very, very charming, don't you think?"
From the audience's perspective, the words used were bold and enthusiastic. "If you ask me, she is very suitable to appear on the silver screen. If we talk about the 'beauties of the century', she should be one of them."
He also saw the boss silently grab the pen next to him, veins on the back of his hand exposed, and he was exerting some strength. The folder on the table moved because of his action, and even the tip of the pen was about to poke into the plastic shell of the folder.
I didn't feel anything wrong at first, but Yan Yongwang's reaction was really a little strange.
Shen He: “You——”
Yan Yongwang: “Get out.” If you keep praising him, his ears will turn red!
Chen He: "Eh?" He didn't sound angry, but more annoyed. But he didn't know why he was angry. "I was just praising the beauty. What's wrong?"
Yan Yongwang said coldly: "You are not allowed to brag anymore, get out."
Chen He: "..." He silently looked at the young boss who seemed to be about to lose his temper, shrugged his shoulders, "Okay, I'm out."
After the door was closed, Yan Yongwang threw away the pen and rubbed the tips of his ears, which had begun to turn red, with his hands.
After a while, he took a slow breath, held his face, and thought blankly: Why is Shen Mi so messed up? He started praising people?? ! !
And he was praising her... The more he thought about it, the more ashamed he felt. He picked up the water with an expressionless face and gulped down a large glass. Only then did he feel relieved.
But I still felt that what I did just now was not good enough. I always felt that my behavior of shouting at Chen He to get out just to cover up my ears which were about to turn red... was very suspicious.
After calming down, Yan Yongwang hesitated and wondered if his behavior would make Chen He think that he disliked others praising "Chao Juan"?
This behavior sounds strange, but Yan Yongwang can't figure out what's strange about it for the time being.
Yan Yongwang: Bewildered.jpg
The author has something to say: So it was a long time later that Chen He realized that this is what Yan Yongwang was like when he was jealous. ↑
(I don’t like others praising me, and I even get angry when they praise me)
