Chapter 116 Extra

The paparazzo’s news didn’t initially cause much of a stir.

It wasn’t until a minor celebrity couldn’t resist egging on their big fans to jump in, and with a repost, pushed the topic to the forefront.

By the time the PR team reacted, simply deleting the photos and videos couldn’t stop their spread.

In the video, a strange man was hugging Jiang Yifeng from behind. As Jiang Yifeng walked forward, the man reached out from behind to grab Jiang Yifeng’s hand.

Even though the video’s pixels were blurry, and the recording wasn’t clear in the dark, anyone who watched it could feel the intimacy between the two people.

The video instantly ignited the internet.

Jiang Yifeng hadn’t given his fans any response since getting married.

He lived his life quietly, not responding to any online questions. After getting married, the most he discussed with Xie Jingshen was… asking Xie Jingshen to restrain himself a little.

The fans’ anger had gradually dissipated, and the netizens’ attention had shifted.

But that video instantly sparked heated discussions online.

Public opinion immediately raced toward the idea that Jiang Yifeng liked men.

“Jiang Yifeng’s marriage partner is a man?”

“I’m going crazy, Jiang Yifeng really likes men? Then who is his marriage partner?”

“Die homosexual *%&%￥”

“Why deceive people’s feelings if you like men? Thinking of when I called him ‘husband’, it feels like feeding a dog.”

“I’m so annoyed with him, can’t he pretend to be single if he likes men? Is he ruining his career during its rise?”

Some fans cursed, some didn’t care, some were ecstatic, and some were heartbroken.

The general public maintained an attitude of shock.

Even those who had good feelings toward Jiang Yifeng were shocked by his close relationship with a man.

The explosive news, even without promoters, quickly swept through the entire internet. Many of Jiang Yifeng’s previous endorsements had expired, and with no new dramas airing recently, and him not participating in variety shows, someone soon came forward and claimed that Jiang Yifeng had been abandoned by his company due to the scandal and would be forever barred from the mainstream.

The words were assertive and coincided with the thoughts of some celebrities and fans.

Fans who unfollowed and turned against him cursed Jiang Yifeng for being unchaste and betraying his fans.

And some bystanders who enjoyed the drama wanted to dig up the identity of the other man—unfortunately, the video was too blurry.

But in such an explosive event ripe for Hype, most of the marketing accounts on the internet were silent.

The paparazzo’s post received hundreds of thousands of reposts, but several marketing accounts that often stirred up trouble on the internet were extremely quiet.

With the marketing accounts not going crazy, the entire social platform felt abnormal.

Only a few BL-oriented marketing accounts posted the video, paired with a few photos of Jiang Yifeng, and wrote “kswl” to express their excitement.

The public wanted to dig up Xie Jingshen’s identity, but the video was too blurry, and they could only vaguely see that the bridge of the other person’s nose, visible under the hat, was high, and the sharp contours were vaguely visible in the shadows.

Those in the industry who wanted to dig up Xie Jingshen’s identity chose to remain silent after finding out a bit of information.

Jiang Yifeng only found out that he and Xie Jingshen were trending when he received a call from Luo Qi.

Jiang Yifeng felt a moment of panic in his heart, but he quickly calmed down.

“We can’t stop people from taking pictures, right?” Jiang Yifeng’s hand rested on his knee, his legs slightly curled up. “Xie Jingshen and I don’t want to hide, we’re bound to be photographed.” Besides, Jiang Yifeng felt like he was a bit clingy, and since the two of them were always together, they were bound to be seen.

It’s impossible to always hide it.

“Luo-ge, I won’t be banned, right?” Jiang Yifeng laughed as he held the phone.

“No,” Luo Qi snorted. “The most that your liking men will affect is your future resources…”

Speaking of future resources, Luo Qi thought of Xie Jingshen’s identity, which he had looked up.

Luo Qi’s face darkened a bit.

—It seems like there’s no need to worry about Jiang Yifeng’s future resources?

—But he still can’t trust an old capitalist! He’s afraid that Xie Jingshen is just attracted to Jiang Yifeng’s looks! And isn’t really sincere to him!

“Well, as long as it doesn’t affect the airing of previous dramas. I can wait for new dramas,” Jiang Yifeng said with a smile, not caring much.

When he entered the entertainment industry, his biggest wish was to make money.

Now he’s no longer short of money. Although he still wants to go further in the entertainment industry, Jiang Yifeng knows that things have to be done step by step, and he can’t be too greedy.

“I’ve tried my best in every drama I’ve acted in. There may be a period of low tide in the future, but I’ll always get through it,” Jiang Yifeng said frankly, and Luo Qi on the other end had no choice.

He frankly accepted Jiang Yifeng’s attitude toward life, and then jokingly asked, “Then, Jiang Xiaotongxue, can you give me a raise in the future? I’m waiting for you to come through and give me a raise.”

“Okay, I can give Luo-ge you a raise right now,” Jiang Yifeng said with a helpless smile.

Before he could say anything more, someone suddenly pressed against him from behind, followed by a “wife” called in his ear, scaring Jiang Yifeng into hanging up the phone.

“Why did you suddenly call me that?” Jiang Yifeng’s face was flushed, and he glared at Xie Jingshen in annoyance.

He suddenly hugged him and called him so ambiguously. Jiang Yifeng felt like he had no face to see Luo Qi again!

So embarrassing!

But Xie Jingshen didn’t realize that there was anything wrong with calling Jiang Yifeng “wife.”

“Didn’t you promise me last night that I could call you whatever I wanted? You also called…”

“If you say one more word, you’re sleeping upstairs tonight.”

Jiang Yifeng meowed like a cat whose fur was standing on end, not letting go at all. Xie Jingshen had no choice but to change his address.

But he was still thinking about calling him that a few more times in bed, trying to get Jiang Yifeng to agree.

He rested his chin on Jiang Yifeng’s shoulder and talked about the online public opinion.

“The PR department called me and asked how to handle it. I see that there are still some people who can’t accept it… The media circle won’t mention it. But we definitely can’t stop the netizens from discussing it… And some entertainment resources will definitely be lost.”

Xie Jingshen didn’t know much about the entertainment industry, but with Jiang Yifeng around, he would try to understand.

Jiang Yifeng’s eyelashes fluttered, and he helplessly covered his face with his hand.

“If good resources are lost, then I’ll take the normal ones. The entertainment industry isn’t limited to only good resources.”

Jiang Yifeng quickly made up his mind.

“Besides, the perfume income from Longli is also good…”

He’s already a small rich man.

Jiang Yifeng no longer has to wait for his salary to come in before he can barely plan his life like before.

“But I’m not happy, and they said you’ve been abandoned by resources.” Xie Jingshen’s eyes narrowed slightly. “I can’t do anything else, but I can let them know that the resources should be licking you, not you licking the resources.”

Jiang Yifeng: “Huh?”

.

A week after the video of Jiang Yifeng entangled with a mysterious man was released, the public couldn’t dig up any information about Xie Jingshen, so they could only disperse helplessly.

However, the fans who unfollowed and turned against him and the entertainment circle’s haters hadn’t let Jiang Yifeng go.

“Abandoned by capital so quickly, just rose up not long ago, hasn’t even had a lead role, and it’s gone like this.”

“I knew that plastic surgery face would crash. It’s obvious that he likes men and gets…”

“Loved you for so long, and you treat us like this, may you be buried is your retribution!”

Those disharmonious voices continued.

Other entertainment marketing accounts had already started paying attention to this year’s luxury fashion show.

The inner entertainment circle has always liked to give luxury goods attention, and the trend of taking pride in luxury goods has never changed.

And every year, the order of entry, seating arrangement, interviews, and red carpet of luxury fashion shows are of utmost importance.

This year, various young male and female stars were still fighting fiercely. Although there are hardly any senior executives from the headquarters attending the shows held in China every year, it has already made everyone in the entertainment circle go crazy.

During the opening show, the fans of each house were already flooding the screen with so many bullet comments that people couldn’t see anything.

Various invitation lists had already been posted online, and glamorous female stars and solemnly dressed male stars passed through the runway one by one, showing off their figures and clothing styles under the flashing lights.

This year, with the absence of Gu Miao, a leading figure among the young male stars in the entertainment industry, the male artists were simply vying for attention.

Just watching the interviews, the audience could feel the intrigue and deception in the entertainment industry.

The fans of several young male stars were arguing on the screen about who was the most powerful one in the eyes of luxury goods.

When the show was over, the camera moved to the interior.

When the live camera swept across multiple angles, it happened to capture one spot.

“Woah! Linda is here this year!”

“The boss is directly on the scene, what’s the situation? Linda is personally here? I can already imagine the scene of them tearing each other apart afterwards.”

“Ms. Linda! And her exclusive model, the top figure in the modeling industry, Polcado! I’m going crazy! Are they putting so much emphasis on this show this year?”

Entertainment industry fans familiar with luxury endorsements immediately recognized the two heavyweight figures.

However, today’s scene can be described as grand. Several important models all attended, and even Linda appeared in person.

Even the brand’s national director, who was originally the weather vane of the entertainment industry, had been abandoned.

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on Linda’s movements—as long as Linda said a word to their idol, their idol’s position in the entertainment industry would be able to add two more levels.

“Oh, President Xie.” Linda suddenly stood up.

She walked quickly to Xie Jingshen’s side. Although she was old, her attitude still revealed a bit of humility and eagerness when she was by Xie Jingshen’s side.

“You’re really getting more and more tasteful. I heard that you led the Masa acquisition…”

Xie Jingshen made a gesture, and Linda immediately shut up knowingly.

Luxury goods are a true service industry in the eyes of people like Xie Jingshen.

Linda’s eyes turned to the boy next to Xie Jingshen. When she saw Jiang Yifeng’s appearance, her eyes lit up a lot, but she looked at Xie Jingshen again before smiling and walking to Jiang Yifeng’s opposite side: “Tonight, we have several summer haute couture pieces. I think one of the black suits is very suitable for you. It can make you more, perfect.”

“Thank you for your kindness, can that be after the show?” Jiang Yifeng asked politely.

Linda’s gaze fell on Xie Jingshen, with a consultative meaning.

But Xie Jingshen tilted his head to stare at Jiang Yifeng, his tone casual: “Why is it so troublesome, just have them send the clothes home, and their haute couture styles are fixed, they won’t even change the size, it’s better to customize directly.”

Linda: “…”

Jiang Yifeng’s eyebrows were slightly furrowed.

Seeing that Jiang Yifeng was hesitant, Xie Jingshen immediately changed his mind: “Then I’ll go with you to take a look.”

Looking at the way the two of them got along, Linda immediately realized who she should be praising tonight.

Linda smiled and looked at Jiang Yifeng: “Then I’ll sit next to the two of you tonight to watch the show. After the show, I’ll take you to take a look.”
