Chapter 6: Summation

Sheng Mingzhi took half a month off straight away to eat, drink and play with Shen Ling and fly around the world.

The WeChat circle of friends is updated almost daily, with high-quality nine-frame photos of the aurora borealis in Norway, a private yacht in Hawaii, a show party in Paris and a night of glamour in Las Vegas, revealing the young master's exquisite and extravagant private life everywhere.

There were quite a few likes, pulling down to some plastic rich kids he didn't know, and elders and relatives in the family.

There is no Lu Jiayan.

Sheng Mingzhi has gone back and forth through his circle of friends several times and read it at least three times.

Shen Ling didn't understand his bewildering behavior, "What are you doing? Admiring your own beautiful pictures?"

Sheng Mingzhi is a strange person who posts a selfie and has to click on it five times to admire it himself.

When she finished, she responded to herself, "How come your husband didn't give you any likes?"

Sheng Mingzhi: ......

"Who said I was looking at this?"

"......"

So what are you doing, making a wish on your phone?

I didn't realise that Sheng Mingzhi was quite concerned with the rituals of this plastic husband and wife relationship.

Is liking friends a requirement written into your marriage agreement?

Shen Ling's words were to the point, and Sheng Mingzhi found it uninteresting after reading it a few times.

He didn't really care if Lu Jiayan would give him the nod, after all, the last meeting had been quite unpleasant, and Lu's CEO was so busy with his day that he was afraid he would have forgotten he had someone at home to focus on.

Sheng Mingzhi gave a mocking laugh and quickly forgot about this little episode.

Thinking of the message Little Wang had sent him before he boarded the plane, Sheng Mingzhi opened his Weibo account, which he hadn't run for half a month, and selected a few scenic pictures from his friends' circle before posting a selfie of himself skiing in France.

Instead of looking bulky on him, the ski suit made his skin fairer.

Her intense, flamboyant face glistened in the snow, and of course the five million dollar Patek Philippe mechanical watch on her wrist was glorious and unmistakable.

The little thought is almost written on his face.

After double-checking that the background is not skewed by the P: click, send.

@ Sheng Mingzhi: The mountains, the rivers, the sun and the moon, the lovely and commonplace, recording some small fragments of time [eoji love]

The photo reveals an air of ostentatious wealth with luxury cars and yachts as the backdrop.

Within five minutes, Sheng Mingzhi's comments and anti-fans arrived as promised.

[sb, you are the first one to search for advanced friend circle text in Little Red Book, next time, be more careful with pretending]

"Roll (soybean thanx)"

[Where have you been for the last half month? I've bought your grave.

"Where to buy, I'm going straight to collect your urn."

[Has the sun life been stolen, so long without tweeting?]

"Don't bother, I'll refill it for you if you steal it."

[Pass it on, Mr. Sheng, to get a Patek Philippe and a luxury yacht for full price, without relying on anyone else, all by stealing the pictures himself]

[It's not easy to put together so many fakes in one go]

[Transfer me five dollars, I'll tell you how to clear your name, link sent to you: "......2021, the best time to recover the Bay Island"]

[Laughs, I've seen people pretending, but I've never seen anyone pretending so outrageously, someone can't really not know that the yacht "Prce" in Figure 6 is a wedding gift from Sheng Jia president Lu Jiayan to his wife, right?

......

He was so used to the snide remarks of the anti-fans that Sheng Mingzhi didn't take them to heart.

He scrolled down a few moments further and an abrupt message appeared in the comments section.

Sheng Mingzhi's swiping finger paused for a moment.

Qiao Yan has already dropped two endorsements and a movie, and you're tweeting at this hour, afraid people won't know you're being weird?

Qiao Yan Dropped endorsements and films?

Say this Sheng Mingzhi is not sleepy anymore.

He gloated and replied to the comment.

"I'm sorry to have known him (the candle) in such a way."

The Internet is a spitting image, and the eighteenth-line paste curry is no longer afraid.

The next thing I knew, Sheng Mingzhi had received a tweet from Weibo with the following marketing tip.

[Entertainment Goose: A certain two-character artist starting with q has no hope of signing with HeMu this year, and the movie pie has fallen off (eat melon)]

The way "an artist starting with the word "q"" is described is no different from not coding.

As the arch-rival of the two-character artist, Sheng Mingzhi would recognise him if he were not Qiao Yan.

The comments are already buzzing with.

"Is the Qiao Yan fan who bragged earlier here? Come out for a walk?"

"Offend someone, I guess, by dropping two pies in a row."

"I heard the endorsement dropped two as well... eat.jpg"

"Laugh it up, the comments mock Qiao Yan's Sheng Fan skin wrap tighter, don't think everyone can't see who your master is (puke)"

The last one is a cryptic statement from a Qiao Yan fan.

The comment section started to change from this entry in the wind.

"?"

"Your statement is a real personal attack."

"I'm dirty, I can't believe I'm stamped as Sheng Mingzhi's powder."

" Sheng Mingzhi is only black, not pink, so let it be known."

Sheng Mingzhi ignored the screen full of anti-fans' statements and focused on Qiao Yan's.

Qiao Yan's fans were all over the real-time square, from @film organizers to @HeMu Entertainment's official Weibo to ask for an explanation.

Sheng Mingzhi watched with fascination for a while as the real-time square was instantly refreshed.

A tweet snapped to his attention.

[woc, a minute ago, I searched for Qiao Yan and his and Sheng Jia's president's entries, but now they're all gone, stunned, and the news is gone (eat melon)]

Sheng Mingzhi was stunned.

He decisively pulled up the search box and typed in Qiao Yan's name, followed by "Qiao Yan's contract was terminated", "Qiao Yan's relationship was revealed", "Qiao Yan and Huo Qiao Yan and Huo Yuzhe celebrate their birthday".

The keyword "Qiao Yan Sheng Jia President", which should have been firmly at the top of the list, has simply disappeared.

As the tweet said, Sheng Mingzhi searched the internet for news about Qiao Yan, and the much-publicised adoption story was nowhere to be found.

A further search for the name of Sheng Jia's president reveals only a few recent big moves by Sheng Jia and news of Lu Jiayan's return to China.

Moving on, there is the news of Lu Jiayan and his marriage.

The only blurred photo of Lu Jiayan is a profile shot of him and his wedding three years ago.

In contrast, Sheng Mingzhi's photos and blackmail have been flying around.

But no one would have guessed that this 18th-tier bum is the young master of MingChen Bank and the legal partner of Sheng Jia's president.

After searching through all this, Sheng Mingzhi's heart was a little subtle.

No way.

Did Lu Jiayan, the old man, delete the post.

What does he mean?

Offering to make peace with me?

Sheng Mingzhi, who is a bit contemptuous of the cheap tactics of ingratiation, doesn't know that you have to bring $20 million in cash as a sign of good faith to make peace?

Sheng Mingzhi hesitated for a while, but finally switched to WeChat and opened a chat box with Lu Jiayan.

He then remembered that he had blacked out Lu Jiayan a month ago - no wonder he hadn't liked his friends.

Just after unblocking Lu Jiayan, his phone buzzes.

Lu Jiayan sent him a message:.

The timing of the message was so subtle that Sheng Mingzhi paused for a moment, his heart beating a beat faster.

Soon, the other party sent another message: ?

Lu Jiayan's operation is a bit confusing to him.

Sheng Mingzhi waited patiently for Lu Jiayan to follow up, only to have to wait ten minutes with no follow-up.

The chat box is empty, with only a full stop and a question mark from Lu Jiayan.

And that last question mark is still provocative.

Whenever Sheng Mingzhi throws out a question mark, he generally doesn't think there's something wrong with him, but with the other person.

The question mark that Lu Jiayan throws at us as if to say, "What's wrong with you?

Sheng Mingzhi Death stared at the chat box for a moment and angrily retracted his previous thoughts.

Lu Jiayan, the sun is out of the sky if this dog of a man can come and make peace with him! How could he have such an outrageous idea? He might as well hope that he'll win the movie this year!

Sheng Mingzhi is like a lump in the throat, but adheres to the unspoken rule that whoever is the last to reply to the other is the one who has fallen behind in the chat.

He did not reply to Lu Jiayan until the evening.

It was not until twilight that the one-sided cold war was forced to break up - Sheng Mingzhi was on his way to a hotel to stay overnight when he received a call from Sheng's father.

His father, Sheng Yuan, has taken a back seat to MingChen, but his authority is still intact. The relationship between Sheng Mingzhi and his father has always been difficult because of his arrogant and capricious nature and his strict father.

Sheng Yuan's forceful voice came over the phone, " Mingzhi, where are you now?"

It was as raw and cold as ever, with a questioning touch.

Sheng Mingzhi was annoyed to hear his tone, mockingly pulled the corner of his mouth, thinking to himself that this old man needed to pretend to ask a question, where was he going, didn't he have someone watching him 24 hours a day?

What an official answer to his nonsense.

So silence was the reply of Sheng Mingzhi.

Sheng Yuan, seeing his attitude, was vaguely angry: "I'm asking you, can't you hear me? You haven't been home for half a month, you're not too young, don't be as rambunctious as before!"

Sheng Mingzhi rolls his eyes.

" Did Lu Jiayan come to you to complain?"

" Little Lu If I had come to me to tell on you, I wouldn't have to find out you were fooling around now!"

"Oh."

"What are you 'oh' about? Lu Jiayan has been back in China for half a month and you've been out having fun for half a month, do you even have eyes for this marriage anymore?" Sheng Yuan scolded him, and Sheng Mingzhi laughed coldly.

The sneer added fuel to the fire, and Sheng Yuan raised his voice and said, "What kind of attitude is that? I know the family did you wrong back then, but you can't keep getting over this in your heart ......"

It was here that Sheng Mingzhi really turned pale.

The hangdog perfume disappeared from his face and his lips were suddenly pursed into a line.

Sheng Yuan continued, "Your marriage to Jiayan is not a child's play, the interests involved are known to you, it is a win-win situation for both groups ......"

Sheng Mingzhi hung up the phone abruptly with a cold face.

Not only that, but he also hacked his dad's phone number before Sheng Yuan could call again.

Sheng Yuan's level of moral kidnapping is still so high that it can piss him off after all these years.

Sheng Mingzhi was incapable of raging for a moment, and incidentally even lost the mood to go to the hotel for fun.

Having ditched Shen Ling's invitation, he sat inside the Maybach for a while to calm down.

I have to admit that Sheng Yuan has a point.

His marriage to Lu Jiayan was not a simple one, and when he arrived at Lu's family on his first day, he was representing not only himself, but MingChen as a whole.

The couple had been at loggerheads for half a month and things had gotten so bad that even if Sheng Yuan didn't call him, Old Lu's phone calls would follow.

Sheng Mingzhi took a deep breath and silently thought to himself: for the sake of future glory and wealth, a luxury yacht, a villa, a private jet and a sports car, it would not be out of place for him to make a small compromise and approach Lu Jiayan first.

The Maybach makes a U-turn on Riverside Road and heads for One XiShan.

In the carriage, Sheng Mingzhi picks up his mobile phone and opens a chat box between himself and Lu Jiayan.

The final record remains on Lu Jiayan's question mark.

Sheng Mingzhi hesitates: should we first ease the atmosphere on WeChat?

Sheng Mingzhi is not that pretentious, given that he has to show his goodwill.

Immediately sent an emoji over: secretlywatching.jpg

Unexpectedly, Lu Jiayan's message came soon after.

[It seems that you remember that the function of your WeChat is for chatting].

Sheng Mingzhi: [......]

Across the screen, Sheng Mingzhi could hear Lu Jiayan's usual accent.

And taunting and underhanded.

WeChat also has a feature to black out friends do you want to keep trying?

Sheng Mingzhi angrily typed a bunch in the chat box, then calmly deleted it.

Forget it, no arguments with idiots.

Heh.

Sheng Mingzhi dislikes: [Did you know that WeChat has a friend circle like function?

Did he post more than a dozen friends in half a month to record his life's deeds? Or is he writing a graphic typographical epitaph?!

After replying to this tweet, the chat box was silent.

Sheng Mingzhi suddenly had a bad feeling, and sure enough, the next second, a dozen message alerts popped up in his circle of friends.

......

The old man didn't like each of his friends one by one, did he?

Sheng Mingzhi clicks on his circle of friends with no expression on his face.

Not surprisingly, all the messages were liked by Lu Jiayan.

Boring and childish to the extreme.

[......]

Sheng Mingzhi forced himself to grit his teeth and calmly sent a message: [Don't you have anything to say other than a like?

Liking and then commenting is basic social etiquette in the friend zone OK?

The 95 year olds really do have a generation gap with them 00 year olds.

[There.]

Lu Jiayan replied to him, posting a picture in the process.

The picture is of Sheng Mingzhi on a beach in Hawaii, smiling brightly, wearing just a white cardigan, showing off his pale upper body and thin abs, and a pair of knee-length beach trousers.

Lu Jiayan continues to reply: [I have more fabric in my spectacle cloth than your clothes].

Sheng Mingzhi: ......

He had come to make peace, not to declare war, had he not?
