AFVSIBS Chapter 215: Wei Wentao’s Abacus Rings Loudly
Wei Wentao's abacus was ringing loudly, and Zheng Shulong didn’t think too much about it and immediately agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Wei Wentao immediately asked his assistant to write a Weibo post in Zheng Shulong's tone. Once it was done, he sent it directly to Zheng Shulong.
Zheng Shulong read the Weibo post, felt there were no issues, and was too lazy to modify it. He logged into his Weibo and posted it:
Regarding the shameless paparazzi rumors about me and Yang Hanhan dating, I just learned about it from my assistant.
Because I have to participate in the variety show "Music 2023" on the 1st, I have been working hard for the show these days and have paid little attention to other matters. I didn’t expect to be falsely accused like this.
Here, I also want to clarify that Yang Hanhan and I are just ordinary friends in the industry and are not in a romantic relationship.
My focus is more on the upcoming variety show "Music 2023," and I ask everyone to pay more attention to the show and not believe the false information online.
Thank you all for your concern.
As Wei Wentao predicted, after Zheng Shulong’s post was published, it immediately shot to the top of the trending list, and Zheng Shulong unexpectedly gained a wave of new followers.
"Young Master Zheng, this Wei Wentao is really a sly fox. He had you post this just to promote his 'Music 2023.'"
Only then did Zheng Shulong realize the trick.
"Yeah, I realized it after I posted it. But what he said isn't wrong. By clarifying the rumors, I got on the trending list again and gained more followers. It’s not a bad thing overall," Zheng Shulong said.
"That's true. Anyway, from the current situation, it seems Yang Hanhan is not very interested in you. It's better to use this trick to gain good reputation and attention."
"Ugh, just thinking about it makes me angry. I’ve never failed with any woman I wanted to be with. But with Yang Hanhan, I hit a wall."
Zheng Shulong looked frustrated.
After all, he desired a woman with Yang Hanhan's allure very much.
"Young Master Zheng, there's no need to rush. As long as Yang Hanhan is not with Zhou Chen, we will have plenty of opportunities."
"You're right. As long as there's a chance, I can drug her and make her submit."
This underhanded tactic was not new to Zheng Shulong.
So, if there was an opportunity, he wouldn’t miss it.
He believed that even if Yang Hanhan found out, she wouldn’t dare to speak out for the sake of her reputation.
Previously, other female stars he targeted didn't dare to speak out because they were afraid of the scandal of being drugged.
On the other side, after seeing that Zheng Shulong's post shot to the trending list, Wei Wentao leaned back in his chair with a satisfied smile.
"Director Wei, you are truly like Zhuge Liang reincarnated. Everything is under your control. They are just like your pawns, unable to escape your grasp."
His assistant couldn’t help but flatter him.
"It's nothing. They may know how to make money and seduce women, but they are still inexperienced in tactics and schemes."
"Yes, now no matter which direction this goes, it is most beneficial for our 'Music 2023.' We have gained huge publicity and attention without any effort."
"Zheng Shulong is just a small pawn. The big one is Chen Xiaoyu. He is the top star in the entertainment industry. If we follow the plan, we don’t have to worry about 'Music 2023' losing ratings to 'International Music Festival.'"
"Director Wei, you're brilliant. I'll start preparing for this. I guarantee to complete the task you assigned."
The assistant flattered him again and then turned to leave and get to work.
Over on Yang Hanhan's side, after she posted her clarification about her relationship with Zheng Shulong, she was still worried that Zhou Chen might misunderstand her.
She knew Zhou Chen didn’t follow the latest online news much, so she worried he might only see the rumors and not her clarification.
So, she immediately sent a text message to Zhou Chen:
"Zhou Chen, don’t believe those shameless paparazzi. Zheng Shulong and I are just ordinary friends, not even that since I’ve already blocked and deleted him on WeChat. I’ve just clarified it online."
Zhou Chen was reading a literature magazine when he received Yang Hanhan's message and was confused.
He had no idea what was going on online and didn’t know what Yang Hanhan was talking about.
"Hanhan, what are you talking about? I don’t understand."
Zhou Chen quickly replied.
"Ah! The rumors online about me dating Zheng Shulong, you don’t know? Ugh, don’t you go online?"
"No, if there's nothing urgent, I usually don’t go online. It wastes my time, so I’ve been reading magazines since I got home," Zhou Chen replied.
"Alright then, nothing to worry about. I was just afraid you’d see those rumors and believe them. I’ve already clarified it, and Zheng Shulong also clarified it himself. There’s nothing between us."
Yang Hanhan explained again to Zhou Chen.
After all, she was afraid Zhou Chen might believe those false rumors.
"It’s good that you clarified, but I suspect this is not so simple. It might be something orchestrated by Zheng Shulong himself."
Having been in the entertainment industry in his previous life, Zhou Chen could guess the general situation from Yang Hanhan's message.
"Really? But why would he do that? Didn’t he also clarify the rumors himself? If he instigated the paparazzi, why would he also clarify?"
The kind and innocent Yang Hanhan was puzzled.
"That's his cleverness. It might not be his idea but someone advising him." Zhou Chen replied.
"This is getting complicated. I want to join you for coffee and listen to you explain it."
After sending the message, Yang Hanhan went directly to Zhou Chen’s room.
"Hanhan, I just checked the information online with my phone, especially Zheng Shulong's post. I’m even more certain that this was likely orchestrated by the 'Music 2023' production team and Zheng Shulong together."
After inviting Yang Hanhan to sit on the sofa, Zhou Chen shared his thoughts.
"Really? How is this related to 'Music 2023'? It’s getting more complicated," Yang Hanhan said, even more confused.
