Chapter 45: Breaking up the CP
The comment that Jiang Wu made in the comment section that was about breaking up the couple was quickly screenshotted and posted online, with many people implying that he was breaking up the couple after taking advantage of the popularity.
Some people even laughed at him for being short-sighted. He started kicking people out after attending a private party, but didn't take the opportunity to attend the Charlene Choi charity party. After all, Chang Yi has retired, and his private party is just a reflection of his status and connections. The Charlene Choi party is what the entertainment industry truly recognizes.
Some people also explained this statement, saying that Zhong Xue could bring people to such a private party, but the Shalin Party was officially held by SHINE magazine, and the invitees were carefully selected by the organizers. They must be rich or famous, otherwise what kind of donations would they get if they entered? Unless Zhong Xue was in love with Jiang Wu and gave him money.
There were a lot of harsh insults under this Weibo post, and some Jiang Wu fans tried to explain, but the group was too small and the fighting power was weak, so they soon fell silent.
Generally, in this kind of situation, the artist's company will take action to control the direction and popularity of public opinion, but Jiang Wu and the stars are in a situation like fire and water, and it would be good if the company does not add fuel to the fire. It cannot be relied upon at all.
It just so happens that Jiang Wu does not have any representative works. His previous whitewashing could arouse the sympathy of many netizens, but the entertainment industry ultimately relies on works and strength. Zhang Xiaoyu can only comfort Jiang Wu and tell him to be patient and wait for "Qi Tian Jiao" to be broadcast.
Jiang Wu was thinking about how to get the whereabouts of the talisman from Han Zhong indirectly, so he responded absentmindedly and paid no more attention to it. However, not long after, someone actually posted a live video of the charity auction that night.
The video first recorded the part where Bai Yuan came out to cause trouble. Everyone could hear clearly that Jiang Wu defended Zhong Xue and confronted Bai Yuan, but soon the sound outside the camera attracted everyone's attention. Everyone in the video looked to the second floor. The camera was slow to follow for a moment, but soon wanted to move up. However, as soon as it captured a hand, the cameraman suddenly whispered "Fuck!" and quickly stuffed the cell phone camera into his suit pocket.
The second half of the video was pitch black, the sound was unclear, and it ended after a short while.
Because Jiang Wu took the initiative to defend Zhong Xue and cleverly criticized Bai Yuan in the video, most netizens had a better impression of him. In particular, Zhong Xue's fans knew that Bai Yuan had always been at odds with Zhong Xue, and they felt very happy that Jiang Wu made Bai Yuan suffer in public.
At the same time, some people asked who the person on the second floor was and why the author didn't shoot any follow-up photos. The author just replied that it was not convenient to disclose. Netizens had to give up and guessed that it should be a big shot in Linhai.
The second video is very long, covering the entire auction from its beginning to its end, and after editing it is approximately 20 minutes long.
At the beginning of the video, Zhong Xue and Jiang Wu were seen talking with their heads down, and they seemed to have a good relationship. Then they suddenly raised their heads and looked back. Then Zhong Xue moved the complicated evening dress from Jiang Wu's left hand to his right hand with difficulty.
What happened next was that Zhong Xue lowered her head and wanted to say something to Jiang Wu, and Jiang Wu reflexively moved to the side. His reaction was a little too big, and he squeezed the arm of the person next to him. Then the two of them exchanged a few words, and there was no close contact between them after that, and there was no sign of any ambiguous relationship between them.
Expert in gossip identification: I can only say that the photo is indeed taken out of context. From watching the video, it seems that the two of them don’t even have a deep friendship.
Day and night are reversed: Jiang Wu's avoidance directly dispelled the rumor that he deliberately mocked the scandal to gain popularity. People seemed to be afraid that something would be revealed, but Zhong Xue did not hide it at all~
The cockroach that insisted on flying: Why do I feel something is weird? Jiang Wu was not so evasive at the beginning of the video. The two of them were even talking and laughing with their heads down. Why did he suddenly become so evasive later on?
Scared to the point of dropping cabbages to the ground: Am I the only one who noticed that he subconsciously looked to the side after dodging for a moment? [Confused] Does anyone know who the person next to him is? Did Zhong Xue give up her seat to him?
MVP: Although I don't know who it is, Jiang Wu almost squeezed into the other person's arms when he dodged, and the other person didn't even dodge, and Jiang Wu didn't even say sorry, which shows that the two people are likely to know each other, or even very familiar with each other. The cufflinks on the right hand are limited editions of a European high-end series, with a five-digit number. I can't see the watch, otherwise it would be more detailed.
Don’t know him: The guy upstairs is a real big shot, but people in such occasions are either rich or noble. Jiang Wu was brought in by Zhong Xue, so how could he know him?
It was only after watching this video that Jiang Wu realized that he had almost squeezed into Han Zhong's arms when he dodged. However, Han Zhong must have been so busy looking at the items for auction that he didn't notice, otherwise he would have pushed him away with a look of disgust and asked him if he was sick.
However, with the emergence of these two videos, online public opinion has improved a lot, and everyone's attention is focused on the love, hatred and vengeance between Bai Yuan and Zhong Xue over the years, as well as the true identity of the mysterious male voice on the second floor.
"Where did this video come from?"
Private parties are very private. In order to protect the privacy of the attendees, casual photography is generally not allowed. The photos of himself and Zhong Xue were deliberately released to cover up the news of Chang Yi's death. Where did these videos come from?
"I heard it was given by a third-generation rich man, and he was there that day," said Zhang Xiaoyu.
That's not surprising, Jiang Wu remembers that there were indeed quite a few young people at that time.
This matter should have ended here, but not long after, someone posted a live video. It was the part with the jade ring. It was the part where Jiang Wu could tell the origin of the jade ring at a glance. Netizens instantly lost their composure.
Ups and downs like me: Water method? Isn't it said that Jiang Wu is a high school dropout, how can he look at antiques? ? ?
Tang Yuan or Yuan Xiao: I am confused too. What does it mean? He could tell through the electronic screen that it was an item from the Great Zhou Dynasty? So I have learned it for nothing for the past five years?
Yes, yes, yes, you are right: speechless, what are you all shocked about? A bunch of poor bastards, there are brochures for auctions, which have introductions to the auction items, and you really believe him when he is pretending to be cool.
MVP: There is no detailed introduction to this item, only the texture and pattern of the jadeite.
Unknown: Hey man, you are the real boss. Are you there?
MVP: ...Just a worker.
Wonianfei: Maybe he taught himself. Moreover, even in such an awesome occasion, he was not nervous at all and was very calm and composed. It's quite rare. No wonder Zhong Xue fell in love with him.
Zhang Xiaoyu was also surprised, "Brother Jiang, you also know this?"
"It was an accident."
Jiang Wu knew nothing about cultural relics. He just happened to come across something he had seen before. However, this jade ring reminded him of something.
He remembered that Chang Yi said he was only responsible for delivering the message, and the message was hidden in the auction items.
He found it strange at the time. It was uncertain who would get the auction items from the donor. How could the people behind Chang Yi make sure that the information would reach the right person?
However, this jade ring was obviously a fake at the time, but it was sold at a high price as if it were the real thing, and eventually returned to the hands of the donor, but with an additional process of auction, which happened to be used to convey the message.
He looked at Zhang Xiaoyu, "Do you know Tang Lin?"
"Tang Lin? The Tang Lin from Xinrui Film and Television? Of course I know him. Who in the entertainment industry doesn't know him?" Zhang Xiaoyu said without hesitation, "It is said that the entertainment industry is a game of capital, and Tang Lin is that capital. It is said that he is the one supporting Zhong Xue behind the scenes."
Jiang Wuyi was stunned. It was Zhong Xue again?
