Chapter 28: Brother Lu on Hot Topic

Chapter List

Original Translations: Crafted with Care, No Unauthorized Reposting Allowed.

Lu Jiayan sent a screenshot to Sheng Mingzhi.

The picture shows Sheng Yuan's reply to him, telling Sheng Mingzhi to be understanding and to take good care of Lu Jiayan.

In case Sheng Mingzhi could not see it, Lu Jiayan also included the phrase "care more about his health".

Sheng Mingzhi: ......

He didn't bother to talk to him, but called Sheng Yuan for the first time.

The father and son had nothing to say to each other, and Sheng Yuan spent most of the time talking to him, talking about business matters that Sheng Mingzhi did not understand, and then turning to his sister, Sheng Xue.

Before hanging up the phone, Sheng Mingzhi's eyes drooped and his mind hesitated for a moment.

I wonder what his father thinks about Song Yi's return to China.

Since Song Yi left for high school, she has basically cut off contact with the Sheng family.

It was probably because of Sheng Mingzhi's push back then, which caused him to fall down the stairs in such a terrible way, that he really saw who the Sheng family was, and that this high-born wealthy family was not the kind of ordinary family that would be overwhelmed by emotions.

No matter how good he was, his bloodline was the unbridgeable gulf between him and Sheng Mingzhi.

Half the time, Sheng Mingzhi still did not ask.

It's been more than ten years since then, so it's pointless to ask.

But to give Song Yi a head start, he sent a tweet to his brother.

[Did you know Song Yi is back in China (Dagger)]

Sheng Xu took about five seconds to type the message back: [Captain Little Sheng, may I ask what your instructions are?

Hmm.

Sheng Mingzhi, satisfied with Sheng Xu's occasional level of competence, immediately ordered in a high-handed manner.

[If he comes to you, don't pay any attention to him.

[Don't let me catch you investing in any of his films (smiles) or you and he will definitely be without one.]

Sheng Xu replied, slowly, [I'm bored enough with you as a debt collector].

[I have too much money to spend, so I'll find another one to make me feel bad about myself?

Sheng Mingzhi: ......

On the other end of the line, Sheng Xu puts down his mobile phone, and his eyes fall on the chat with Sheng Mingzhi.

Perhaps there was a weak link in the blood, as Sheng Xu remembers not liking Song Yi very much since he was a child.

Didn't like that he showed too much intelligence and didn't really like that he matured too soon.

Like a dummy, it always made him feel uncomfortable.

He maintains a decent brotherly relationship with Song Yi, neither too close nor too awkward.

Sheng Xue, who was frail and sickly, was raised in her grandmother's house and lived in seclusion, not seeing herself more than five times a year.

It was not until his senior year that Sheng Mingzhi returned to the Sheng family.

It was only then that Sheng Xu finally felt a little bit like a brother.

When Sheng Mingzhi first arrived in the Sheng family, he was not as willful and arrogant as he is now.

He was so introverted and silent that Sheng Xu almost thought he was a mute.

Think of Sheng Mingzhi as a good, soft boy, still using superlatives to call him brother.

Sheng Xu's heart softened a little.

He was nothing like he is now.

The left word is "hello", the right word is "Sheng Xu", not to mention "brother", even if you want to hear a "brother ", you would have to pay for it.

He does, however, call Lu Jiayan, the old dog, quite affectionately.

He is also known as "Brother Jiayan", and if you didn't know, you'd think Lu Jiayan was his brother.

Why is this little debt collector so heartless?

A man without a brother, eh?

Sheng Xu let out a snort and called for his assistant.

In a flat tone, he instructed, "Keep an eye on Song Yi and don't let him get anywhere near Mingzhi."

-

Sheng Mingzhi spent a week in HaiCheng before flying back to YunJing with Lu Jiayan.

In fact, Sheng Mingzhi spent the week on edge. Although he had two rooms in the hotel with Lu Jiayan, he was still afraid of what would happen if Lu Jiayan asked him to share a room.

So embarrassing.

Not at all sure whether to say yes or no!

The HaiCheng Finance Summit schedule was so busy that Lu Jiayan was on a 24-hour schedule of conferences and interviews.

Sheng Mingzhi's fears were finally not realised.

At the same time, Southwest Finance's first interview magazine on Lu Jiayan was launched in China.

On the cover, Lu Jiayan is not sitting as bonelessly slouched as usual, but his posture is also very relaxed and casual.

The peach blossom eyes are smiling, and he is pretending to wear a gold-rimmed spectacles, simply interpreting the temperament of the social elite of the Sven scum to the fullest.

Not long after the cover photo was released, Lu Jiayan's photo was trending.

Sheng Jia would not have had the luxury of paying for her boss's popularity. Lu Jiayan's rise to fame was purely due to his good looks, which were picked up by marketing agencies, and it was only in the afternoon that Sheng Jia found her boss's picture on the top of the search.

Related Words.

The hot search is full of people.

"I grass I grass I grass, sisters, I'll have a face to read novels from now on!"

"Is this the legendary overbearing president, I really can't understand why the heroine is running away when I can!"

"Does this man have face bull syndrome."

"I couldn't figure out that God had closed that window for him (puppy hugging his leg and weeping)"

"It's really handsome, this face is riding high in the entertainment industry, right? ......"

"No one told me that Sheng Jia's boss was so handsome, would I remember to apply for Sheng Jia's school recruitment now (tears)"

......

Lu Jiayan's interview takes up an entire side.

But the photograph is the only one on the cover.

The interview on the inside of Lu Jiayan magazine was soon picked up by enthusiasts.

The first part was relatively normal, except for the last sentence which was screenshotted by the marketing agency.

Reporter: We know that you married the youngest son of MingChen Bank three years ago, can you share with us about your love and family?

Lu Jiayan: Ms. Qiao, do you think my tie looks good today. My lover gave it to me.

Once again, the comments were swept up: the

"Fuck me."

"I'm just guilty of recognising the line."

"Reporter: I've never been so speechless in my life."

"Why are good men always rich and exclusive (soy beans in tears)"

"Who has a picture of his wife? Let me see what kind of heavenly talent can marry such a big handsome guy."

"Don't think about it sister, they are MingChen's young master."

"Good. This is a three-person relationship, and I'm out."

......

Sheng Mingzhi was accidentally surprised by the dog man's face when he swiped it on Weibo.

Lu Jiayan's myopia is actually very low, Sheng Mingzhi remembers that he became nearsighted during his senior year of high school, probably because even schoolboys stay up late to do their homework, but despite this, Lu Jiayan only wears his glasses during classes or exams.

Sheng Mingzhi's nearsightedness is then very high.

I can't even go out without my contact lenses on a regular basis.

I have to say that Sheng Mingzhi was quite pleased to see Lu Jiayan's last words about his interview.

It's a good thing the old man had the good sense to be out there and not bad-mouth him.

Sheng Mingzhi happily liked all the comments saying that he and Lu Jiayan were a good match.

It was only after the likes that I looked back, no, he's toxic, isn't he, why did he like it?

It's just too late to cancel the likes.

Sheng Mingzhi has never been unscrupulous on the internet, muddling through and making big likes, which were soon discovered by his own fans.

"What? You're envious?"

"How dare you give someone a like when you've posted a selfie?"

"What's your husband's phone number to report you for mental infidelity."

"You keep some male virtue, OK?"

"Where's the chicken coop, come here to catch a chicken."

......

Sheng Mingzhi is too lazy to care about them.

However, after some thought, the other likes on Lu Jiayan's good looks were removed.

Only one like was left uncancelled.

The actual fact is that you can be a lot more than just a little bit of a person.

-

Lu Jiayan's hot search hung around for a few hours.

It didn't even have time to fester all over the internet before it was simply banned. The word was locked along with the square, apparently because the person in question did not like the fact that he or she was being discussed by the public in this way.

The netizens were instead impressed by the efficiency of Jia Sheng.

As soon as he arrived at the office today, Sheng Mingzhi was called to a meeting in the large conference room.

As we walked through the corridor, many of our colleagues were discussing what happened to President Sheng Jia the other day.

Even Wenwen couldn't help but gossip: " Mr. Sheng, did you see that Sheng Jia boss on Weibo earlier?"

Oh.

Twitter didn't see it.

But it is seen every day at home.

Wenwen exclaimed, "So handsome. I wouldn't dream of being so outrageous, rich and handsome."

"It's okay." Sheng Mingzhi got into the lift and casually replied, "It's just like that after seeing too much."

And Lu Jiayan doesn't look as good in that photo as he does in person.

As soon as the words left his mouth, someone in the lift laughed lightly and said in a sinister manner, "Some people should not say they are sour when they can't eat grapes, typical of the rich-hating mentality."

Sheng Mingzhi turned his head to see that it was Yu Jie who was speaking.

A few months ago, he took part in a trainee show, and on the night of the final, he fell short by one place and did not debut. However, he has gained a lot of popularity and the company has been promoting him lately, and he is on the rise.

Sheng Mingzhi was actually not impressed with this Yu Jie at all.

But I don't know why he is so hostile to himself.

Wenwen whispered, " Mr. Sheng, don't you think he looks a bit like you?"

Sheng Mingzhi :?

"Don't insult me." He frowned and spoke rightfully, "Where does he look like me? Is it the squinty, swollen eyes that look like me? Or does he have a collapsed nose from the scene of a car accident like me?"

Wenwen: ......

That doesn't sound like it!

Sheng Mingzhi's voice was not too loud, just loud enough for everyone in the lift to hear.

Yu Jie was originally just a sarcastic comment on Sheng Mingzhi's fake nobility.

It turned out that the other party's mouth was actually so nonchalant and even more poisonous than his?

Sheng Mingzhi said, and spoke in an exasperated manner, "Oh. I said it casually, don't take it to heart. The truth is all hard to hear, you're still young and there's probably more truth to be heard in the entertainment industry."

He paused: "As a senior. I'll give you a lesson today first. No charge."

Yu Jie: ......

Your mother. You're some kind of ex.

Three years after her debut and still a vegetarian ex?

Yu Jie's unilateral hatred, however, does stem from the fact that he looks a bit like Sheng Mingzhi.

He has been proud of his face since he was a child, and after being in the entertainment industry, he is no slouch in the ring, and could even call himself a front man in the last boy band talent show.

But since meeting Sheng Mingzhi, Yu Jie's mindset has changed.

Anyone who looks at a face of their own high quality dangling in front of them would be a little offended.

Sheng Mingzhi, with his superior face, is still an 18th-tier actor.

Can he not be angry.

Inside the large conference room, Little Wang has arrived.

The one left sitting on the sofa is the new media director of Windy Entertainment parachuted in at the end of the year, surnamed Chen, named Chen Feng.

I don't know where I got them from, but they have a very daddy style and the potential to be a salesman.

Every time he came to a company meeting, he asked the artists present to chant slogans along with him.

This is the kind of stupidity that Sheng Mingzhi would never do, so on Chen Feng's fourth day here, Sheng Mingzhi offended him to no end.

In contrast, Chen Feng was Yu Jie's own uncle.

Yu Jie's resources have been getting better and better lately because she has been hugging Chen Feng.

When he saw Little Wang, Sheng Mingzhi suddenly remembered Lu Jiayan's hot search.

Little Wang has seen Lu Jiayan before, and you can basically guess who he is once you see the hot search.

Little Wang said, "You're just in time. Mr. Chen has two variety shows over here, see which one you're interested in."

Sheng Mingzhi gave a pause: "Have you seen Lu Jiayan's hot search?"

" Lu Jiayan ?" Little Wang: "What's hot? What's wrong with Sheng Jia? It's not like the stock has fallen!"

His face went white: "It's over, it's over, I've only fucking bought 100,000 ......"

Surprised you didn't watch the hot seat?

Sheng Mingzhi is a little surprised.

On second thought, however, Little Wang, a veteran manager of Windward Entertainment, suddenly had four or five more artists under his belt at the end of the year.

There is also a first line and a second line, so naturally they are busy.

It's all too normal to not have time to look at the hot seat.

And JianZhong, the Internet has a seven-second memory per person, so in a week's time no one will probably remember this.

Chen Feng prepares two variety resources, both of which are reality shows.

One is a travel variety show with a top actress and top streamer in a group.

One is an adventure title that focuses on reality TV.

As soon as he saw the reality show, Little Wang simply gave up and let Sheng Mingzhi take part.

It's still an adventure variety show, where the sky is the bed and, simply put, you go to suffer.

Sheng Mingzhi Eat hardship?

It's funny, this little ancestor is the one who has to call the 120 ambulance for a broken finger and go through the pain?

The picture is so beautiful.

Little Wang can't even imagine Sheng Mingzhi rolling around in the mud.

What's more, the adventure reality variety show requires a vegan appearance, with no makeup at all.

This is the death of Sheng Mingzhi, the little flowered peacock.

Before Little Wang could say no, Yu Jie laughed, "I think this adventure show is perfect for Brother Sheng, who is so handsome and looks good even when he's not wearing a face. I'm going to join the travel show. I've been under a lot of stress lately and I want to relax."

Little Wang: ......

b You've finished your sentence.

" Mingzhi is not suitable for ...... "

"I think it's fine." Chen Feng interrupts Little Wang: "The general direction of the broadcaster now is that it wants male artists to be masculine and hot-blooded, so Little Sheng's feminine image really needs to be revamped. It's possible to use adventure shows to help him change the public perception."

Little Wang's face darkened as Chen Feng made it clear that he was going to give Sheng Mingzhi the boot.

Woe be to Sheng Mingzhi, just after he signed his contract, Let's Take a Chance With Me announced its proposed guests and was immediately called out on the hot seat.

The guest line-up features a Chinese of island nationality, a Bay Area host who was politically incorrect in his early years, and two actors who are close to a certain anti-Chinese foreign star.

The planners couldn't have come up with such an outrageous list without a decade of brain thrombosis.

Little Wang now knows what Chen Feng is up to.

Sheng Mingzhi would really be screwed if he went on this variety show!

His kids have a lot of dark stuff, but it's all ridiculously embarrassing.

It must never be associated with politics.

What's even more outrageous is that before the recording of the show began, there was a pre-show live stream of "Come With Me".

Sheng Mingzhi will have to pay $8 million in liquidated damages if he breaks his contract and does not attend.

Little Wang is as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

Who knew that Sheng Mingzhi would be so calm: "What's there to be afraid of? I've been scolded a lot."

So, as soon as the live broadcast started that night, thousands of netizens flooded into the live room cursing, brushing the screen and nearly jamming the live room to death.

"Shameless crew."

"Shit, the planners are sick in the head, what kind of demons and monsters are they inviting."

"Spit it out and get the hell out of D&D if you don't love your country can you?"

"Laugh your ass off, I'm going to curse your ancestors to death here today."

"I never thought that the only normal person in this cast would be Sheng Mingzhi."

"Ditto. Shook my whole family up."

"What good is it for him to take on a variety show like this again? Just so short of money to spend?"

"Shit, I used to just mock him, now I'm really turning black."

......

Almost all the guests were present at the show.

Only Sheng Mingzhi remained.

Yu Jie watched the live stream early in the morning with his phone in his hand, gloating as he waited for Sheng Mingzhi to finish.

Just as the netizens were spewing the show's crew to pieces, the door to the room inside the live stream finally opened.

Sheng Mingzhi pushes the door open and arrives late.

The little flowered peacock did come plain and was dressed exceptionally plainly.

Mr. Jing's green "China" school uniform looks youthful on him, and his legs are long.

The room fell silent, almost to silence, and several of the show's guests had subtle and wonderful faces.

Even the live stream's pop-ups froze at this moment.

In an atmosphere so awkward as to be suffocating.

Sheng Mingzhi suddenly spoke.

"Sorry I'm late. What's everyone looking at me for?"

It dawned on him and he said sternly, "Oh. So I forgot to zip it up."

Sheng Mingzhi Slowly zip up.

The "Zhong" and "Guo" on the original left and right of the shirt instantly merge.

Slowly, he said, "After all, China's territory cannot be divided at all, can it, teachers?"
