Chapter 41 Private Provision



"Li Zhao's team is quite capable. Even Wang Zhubao is on his side. In order to make a lot of money, Wang Zhubao has even lost its most basic professional ethics. Which jewelry expert dares to judge the authenticity of jewelry based on a few photos?"

"I was just about to say this. Doesn't jewelry appraisal require seeing the actual item?"

"This melon becomes more and more interesting the more we eat it, with twists and turns, just like following a brain-burning TV series. You guys keep quarreling, don't worry about people like me who just eat melons. Tear, keep tearing, tear louder."

"The studio has released the promotional pictures. Sisters, let me be frank. No matter whether the jewelry on Li Zhao is real or fake, I can wear that face."

"The jewelry is fake, and the face is fake too."

"Someone in my family works in the field of plastic surgery. I have asked them and their face is definitely real."

"Gorgeous boys and girls are treasures! I understand why Cangshi chose Li Zhao as its spokesperson. He is really a shining star."

"You superficial women only know how to look at faces. But this face is so pretty and smells so good!"

The promotional photos displayed by Li Zhao's studio were the ones taken in the Yanting corridor.

Perhaps because the background was well chosen, Li Zhao in the photo looked like a nobleman who had traveled through time and was about to penetrate the screen and appear in front of people.

Those beautiful eyes seem to be telling the most beautiful affection in the world.

"What dress, what brooch, it's all bullshit, I just want this person."

"Isn't it just a watch? I'll buy it. Will I get the spokesperson as a gift after I buy it?"

"I just sent my mother a photo of Li Zhao and said he was my boyfriend. As a result, my mother called and scolded me for a full ten minutes, asking if I had forced a boy from a good family."

"The people above can be confirmed that they are biological children, hahahahahaha."

The internet trolls arranged by the rival company were dumbfounded. They wanted netizens to think that Li Zhao was dishonest, vain and boastful. Why was it that after Li Zhao's studio released a few photos, these girls only cared about licking his looks?

Can you be serious when fighting? All you know is looks. Can you eat with a pretty face?

The leader of the navy enlarged the photo released by the studio, looked at it carefully for several times, and rubbed his hands excitedly: "Brothers, our business volume is going to increase again recently."

"Why?" The colleague who was eating instant noodles with his head down raised his haggard face and asked him.

"It's clear from the first glance that this newcomer is destined to become famous. As long as he becomes famous, there will be blood and gore." The leader of the navy laughed and said, "Where there is a martial arts world, there will be disputes. Where there are disputes, we are needed."

Those who work as internet trolls are not afraid of new people emerging, but they are afraid that the circle will not be lively enough.

Professor Chen is a teacher at the Academy of Calligraphy and Painting. His greatest hobby is painting and appreciating paintings. When he was drinking tea at home in the evening, he heard his daughter's scream. He was scared and thought something had happened to his daughter. He walked to his daughter's room worriedly, only to find her sitting in front of the computer, grinning foolishly at a boy's photo.

"You're such a grown-up, how come you still look like..." Professor Chen walked closer to his daughter, suddenly snatched the mouse from her hand, and enlarged the photo.

The painting hanging on the wall in this photo seems to be an authentic one?

Because the background matches Li Zhao's temperament very well, it was not blurred in later stages. The more Professor Chen looked at it, the more he felt that the painting looked like the real thing, but without seeing the real thing, even he couldn't guarantee it.

"Girl, can you contact this boy? I really want to see this painting in his house." Professor Chen was very excited: "You can pay me."

Professor Chen's daughter: "..."

She knew her father was a painting fanatic, but she never expected that her chasing a star could make her father discover a new world.

"Dad, he's a big star, where can we contact him? Besides, the place where the photo was taken may not be his home." Professor Chen's daughter quickly comforted her excited old father: "There are so many imitation paintings nowadays, what can we tell from a photo?"

Upon learning that the young man was a big star and was not necessarily the owner of the painting, Professor Chen was very disappointed. He turned around and taught his daughter a lesson: "Don't get so happy when you see a good-looking boy. The most important thing is his character. Do you understand?"

"Yes, yes, I understand." Professor Chen's daughter pushed Professor Chen out of the room and opened the fan group to chat.

"My dad came in just now and asked me what the painting hanging on the background wall of Zaizai was. He also asked me if I could contact Zaizai. If I could, I wouldn't have to lick the screen."

"What's going on today? Some people say that Zaizai's brooch is amazing, and now someone else is saying that the painting on Zaizai's background wall is amazing."

"No way, no way. Zizi said it himself. He is very poor."

"I suspect that those who speculate on the priceless brooches are Zhao Zhao's rivals, using this method to deliberately reduce passers-by's favorability towards Zhao Zhao."

"So who is our rival?"

There was a strange silence among the fans for a moment, because they didn't know who Li Zhao's opponent was for a moment. At first, they were at odds with the fish fans, but after so many incidents, the fish fans and the pear fans could almost be called an alliance, and the other youngsters didn't have much contact with them, and there wasn't even a conflict over resources.

Because the endorsement resources that Zhao Zhao got are simply not available to other young actors.

"The fans of Lu Renyi's family are the ones who are jumping up and down and slandering Zhaozhao the most tonight."

"Lu Renyi is a top-tier celebrity, there's no need for his family to be against us, right?"

To put it bluntly, with Lu Renyi's status, paying attention to their pear fans would be like giving them a lot of attention. Are Lu Renyi's fans here to do charity?

"Have you all forgotten that Lu Renyi is the spokesperson for Cangshi watches? His fans have always thought that Cangshi would renew the contract with Lu Renyi, but Cangshi signed an endorsement contract with our Zhao Zhao."

Pear fans finally understood why this group of fans danced so hard tonight.

The fighting power of Lu Renyi's fans is well-known in the entire fan circle. Many fans of other artists have to stay away from them to avoid being humiliated by them.

The number of people and fighting power are not as good as their pear fans, so naturally they don’t want to quarrel with such a group.

If you win the argument, you will lose the favor of passers-by; if you lose the argument, you will lose face. It's not worth it either way.

Lu Renyi's agency is having a hard time at this moment.

As the Chinese New Year was approaching, everyone was looking forward to distributing year-end red envelopes, but suddenly they received a call from Cang Huan, saying that due to the impolite behavior of their company's artists in public, all cooperation with their agency would be terminated from then on.

Later they received news that Cang Huan had withdrawn their company's film and television investments, and even the endorsement contract that was about to be negotiated was canceled.

"What kind of impolite behavior is this in our company?" The boss of the agency was drinking with friends outside. When he heard the news, he quickly opened his mobile phone to check the trending searches online.

The person who is being ridiculed the most right now is an artist named Li Zhao. Isn't he from their company?

If you search the news about our artists in the past two days, everything is normal. Lu Renyi went to attend Canghuan’s annual meeting, and fans all praised his good look.

Everything is normal, why is it impolite?

The boss hurried back to the company, and the company was already in chaos. Strawberry Entertainment is such a big company, but their artists used the boss Canghuan to hype themselves up, and even caused a person named Sun to come and apologize in person. Their company is not even as big as Strawberry Entertainment. Canghuan has cut off all cooperation with them. Who else would want to deal with them?

He was so anxious that he personally called Cang Huan's public relations manager and apologized humbly.

No matter where you went wrong, just admit it first.

"Your company's artists are not satisfied with the seats arranged by our company. Our company is not hospitable enough. How can we discuss cooperation with your company?" The public relations manager smiled and said, "Our company is small and cannot afford to invite the big Buddhas from your company."

Listening to the busy tone coming from the phone, the boss's expression changed. Was he dissatisfied with the seats arranged by Canghuan?

Canghuan is a wealthy family, but he is very disciplined in doing business. Many companies like to cooperate with Canghuan because he will not play any shady tricks on others and he attaches great importance to credibility.

As a businessman, who doesn’t want to make money safely and securely?

"Today, how many people from our company will attend Canghuan's annual meeting?" The boss is not a fool. Canghuan has made it so clear. If he still doesn't understand that it was his own artist who broke the rules at Canghuan's annual meeting, he would have no business staying in the entertainment industry.

"Only Lu Renyi." The management did not dare to be careless and immediately replied: "His endorsement contract will expire in a few days, but as the spokesperson for Cangshi watches this season, we still managed to get him a place to attend the annual meeting."

"Call him immediately." The boss was so angry that his face turned pale.

Lu Renyi was discussing the next new play with the director sitting at the same table when the cell phone on the table began to vibrate. He was wondering who was so tactless as to call in knowing that he was attending the annual meeting in Canghuan. When I turned the phone over, I saw that it was a senior executive of the company.

He smiled apologetically to his tablemate, picked up his phone, went to the bathroom, and answered the call.

"What?" Lu Renyi stuttered in fear after hearing the news from the company: "This is impossible. In Cang Huan, I am very polite even to a waiter. How dare I offend them?"

"Are you dissatisfied with your seat?" Lu Renyi's face changed, and he suddenly remembered that the director and actor sitting at the same table were all acquaintances, and there were also two very influential investors present, so he swapped the position of his name tag with Li Zhao's.

Li Zhao was an unknown newcomer, so no one would say anything even if he changed his seat.

As it turned out, after Li Zhao knew that he had changed his seat, he didn't even dare to show any expression. But he never expected that such a small matter would cause such a big trouble.

"Whose seat did you change?" The voice on the other end of the phone was obviously angry.

"Just a little artist."

"How can a young artist be able to attend the Cang Huan Annual Party?!"

"What a young artist, he is Li Zhao who was signed by Strawberry Entertainment not long ago."

"I don't care if he's a newcomer or a big shot. Since Cang Huan is already dissatisfied with your behavior of changing seats, you should go and apologize to him, otherwise our entire company will be in trouble."

"Can……"

"Do you know that Cang Huan directly stated that he wanted to terminate the cooperation with our entire company and even canceled all investment plans?"

Lu Renyi hung up the phone in a daze, returned to the banquet hall, and looked towards where Li Zhao was sitting. Where was he?

He looked around in panic and finally saw Li Zhao at another table. However, when he saw who was sitting with Li Zhao, he felt sick.

These people are all high-ranking officials of Cang Huan headquarters.

At this moment, Lu Renyi realized what it meant to regret not having made the decision, to regret not falling, and to feel like crying but having no tears.

You have connections with the top management of Cang Huan, you should have told me earlier. When I changed my position, you jumped up and slapped me in the face. Why should I suffer this injustice?

He just thought that the male protagonists in some novels liked to play the pig and eat the tiger, but he never expected that people in the entertainment industry also like to play this trick.

When Lu Renyi saw these usually serious senior executives smiling amiably at Li Zhao and even personally scooping soup to Li Zhao, he felt weak in the knees.

How could he be so capable that he offended the most powerful person just by attending an annual meeting?

Bathed in the gentle gazes of everyone at the table, Li Zhao forced himself to drink two bowls of soup that came from the care of his "elders". When two of them were about to toast him, he quickly said he wanted to go to the bathroom.

Then he saw these elders looking at him with eyes that said, "What a great baby, he can go to the toilet by himself."

He ran away and only breathed a sigh of relief when he ran to the bathroom.

"Teacher Li..." A man followed him in with a flattering smile on his handsome face.

"Teacher Lu." Li Zhao was shocked: "Just call me Xiao Li."

Lu Renyi’s inner thoughts: No, I dare not!

"I had a brain short circuit just now and changed your seat. Please forgive my mistake." Seeing that there was no displeasure on Li Zhao's face, Lu Renyi thought that this was a master, a master who was hiding his talents.

"Teacher Lu, you are too serious. It doesn't matter where you sit." Li Zhao took out a paper towel and wiped the water off his hands: "They are all trivial matters, not worth mentioning."

Lu Renyi looked at Li Zhao and thought that this young man was dishonest. He said that he didn't care, but when he dealt with him, he was ruthless.

From today onwards, he would never dare to bully newcomers again, because who knows who is behind them.

I can’t afford to offend you. I can’t afford to offend you.

"Teacher Li, please tell me the truth. What do you want me to do to forgive me?" Lu Renyi was really scared. "Some ignorant fans on the Internet are talking nonsense. When I go back, I will definitely control them and not let them slander you."

"What, your fans slandered me?" Li Zhao's eyes widened. He was so focused on eating that he didn't even know what was going on online.

Lu Renyi: “…”

It turns out that Li Zhao didn't know that Lu fans were cursing people online, so why did he go to such lengths to be so mean?

As a mature actor who is over 30 years old, Lu Renyi almost shed tears.

Lu fans don’t know that their idol is in a dilemma at the moment. They are still constantly tagging the official Weibo accounts of major brands, mocking Li Zhao for wearing counterfeit clothes.

Just when Li fans were about to believe that the dress Li Zhao was wearing was a knockoff, the chief designer of a famous luxury brand posted a Weibo post stating that the dress Li Zhao was wearing was a custom-made product and was not for sale.

Lu fans who were enjoying the mockery: Who am I, where am I, and what happened?

Soon, chief designers of other brands came out and posted on Weibo to prove that the accessories on Li Zhao were their works.

There are four common words in these Weibo posts: personalized.

"Private customization by the chief designer of a big brand..."

"Li Zhao is really the son of the Strawberry Entertainment CEO, right? He just attended the annual meeting, why is he so generous?"

"Where are the fans of Lu Renyi? Keep mocking them. Nothing on your boss's body is worth more than a single piece of jewelry from him. How dare you mock him for wearing knockoffs?"

"Strawberry Entertainment also has an artist who attended Cang Huan's annual party. This artist is much more famous than Li Zhao, and she didn't wear anything custom-made. Strawberry Entertainment can't possibly compare newcomers to movie queens, right?"

"The one above is talking about Liu Fen? She is wearing the latest model from D today, and she has a very strong aura. Strawberry Entertainment invested in a movie for her, which will be released on the first day of the new year. They have spent a lot of effort to promote her, so it is impossible for her to be treated worse than a newcomer."

"But the fact is, among the three artists attending the Cang Huan Annual Party, only Li Zhao's clothes are all custom-made. And there's also the brooch on him that I don't know if it's real or not, and it's said to be worth several houses. If the brooch is also real, then his outfit today will really outshine the rest of the crowd."

Fans of two other artists from Strawberry Entertainment felt uncomfortable after seeing these remarks, so they rushed to the official blog of Strawberry Entertainment to ask whether the custom-made luxury goods on Li Zhao were provided exclusively by Strawberry Entertainment.

Just when everyone was arguing, Strawberry Entertainment finally posted a positive response on Weibo.

Strawberry Entertainment V: Thank you all friends for your attention and care for our company's artists. I would also like to thank brands D and A for sponsoring clothing for our company's artists. I wish you all a happy new year.

Netizens noticed that Strawberry Entertainment thanked Liu Fen and another artist’s clothing brand, but did not mention the brand of the dress worn by Li Zhao.

Some netizens directly mentioned this issue in the comment section.

Strawberry Entertainment responded: Zhao Zhao’s costume was provided privately by his good friend and was not prepared specifically for him by the company.

"What kind of friend is so awesome?!"

"Just now I was cursing the Jewelry King for his random appraisal, but I don't know why, now I firmly believe that the brooch Li Zhao is wearing is authentic."

"Tonight, I'm lemon."

"I'm different. I'm a lemon tree."

"Am I the only one who is curious, what kind of friend would be so generous?"

"I wonder if anyone has watched the variety show that Li Zhao appeared on when "The Boss Girl" was popular."

"Is the song you're talking about 'Stay with Me'?"

"At that time, several leading actors in "The Overbearing Female Boss" talked about their wealthy friends. When Li Zhao introduced his friend, he said that his friend had two houses and dozens of shops in Beijing. Sisters, he was talking about Beijing, where every inch of land is worth a lot of money."

"Yes, yes, I remember that too. It is said that this friend is going to give Li Zhao a house to live in."

"It's probably this mysterious rich friend."

"It doesn't matter whether I'm rich or not. What matters is that I want such a touching friendship."

"My focus is strange. I want to know how many houses Li Zhao is worth."

"Don't even think about it. We can't afford that many sets anyway."

"I don't know if the rich man has a girlfriend, but I admire his generosity towards his friends."

"What a coincidence. I appreciate it, too."

When Lu fans saw that the atmosphere of the website had changed, they certainly couldn't take the blame on themselves, so they changed the subject and said that it was Pear fans who were deliberately causing trouble, and that the troublemakers were not Lu fans at all, but black fans from other websites pretending to be them.

Lu fans have been invincible in the fan circle, but this time they finally lost, and fans of other groups were happy to watch the fun.

However, this was not the worst moment for Lu fans. The worst thing was that their own idol suddenly posted a Weibo, praising Li Zhao enthusiastically and sincerely.

There are so many words that it feels like I'm writing a short essay.

Lu Fan:? ?

Brother, what’s wrong with you? Just blink if you’ve been kidnapped!

The author has something to say: Lu Renyi: I was wrong, I was really wrong. Even my name is a mistake.
