Chapter 40: Huangsheng Is Targeting Jiang Su
Throughout the day, Xu Mochun received dozens of calls inviting Jiang Su.
Some invitations were politely refused, while others were neither accepted nor refused.
He seemed like a scumbag who likes to keep many options open.
Jiang Ying was well-informed and, upon hearing that Xu Mochun would come, guessed that with Xu Mochun’s reputation, many people would contact Xu Mochun.
She called Jiang Su to ask about the situation.
When Jiang Ying learned that Xu Mochun hadn’t accepted any of the invitations, she was shocked for a long time: “Xu Mochun didn’t accept any of them? Does he want to go to heaven?”
“Da Xu has his own ideas.” Although Jiang Su also thought Xu Mochun was bragging, he still chose to believe him.
Jiang Ying had previously wanted to change Jiang Su’s agent because she was afraid of this kind of situation: “Little Seven, let me find a team to make a program for you.”
Xu Mochun was right there and heard Jiang Ying’s voice, so he said with a smile, “Manager Jiang, don’t worry, Susu’s first shot at his comeback will definitely be a huge success!”
Meaning he wouldn’t accept Jiang Ying making a program for Jiang Su.
“Second Sister, you also know that Da Xu is a man of his word, don’t worry.” Jiang Su hung up the phone before Jiang Ying could get angry.
…
The next day…
A live talk show called “After Divorce, Are You Happy?” suddenly appeared.
The production team bought hot searches, and the name of the show was placed in a very prominent position.
The first Weibo update was posted by a marketing account:
[“After Divorce, Are You Happy?” is backed by Huangsheng Media Group, produced by Shen Man. With such a strong production team, aren’t you all looking forward to it? Who do you hope will participate in this show?]
In just half an hour, the comments on this Weibo update exceeded 10,000:
[Jiang Su: Just report my ID card directly.]
[Didn’t I see wrong, this show is live?]
[Live shows are quite exciting, it’s a divorce show hahaha, Huangsheng is really good at playing!]
[Laughing to death, Huangsheng is targeting Jiang Su, right!]
[What are you joking about? A company as big as Huangsheng, would they lack the traffic from that lovesick male star?]
[A big production, Producer Shen Man’s shows are definitely good!]
Shen Man was a famous variety show producer, and all the variety shows she made were very popular.
Jiang Su looked at the comments in the comment section that kept mentioning him and turned to look at Xu Mochun: “Is this the big scene you were talking about?”
Xu Mochun said with a guilty conscience: “I was thinking that Shen Xiumo and Huo Qingyan are sworn enemies, you and Huo Qingyan are divorced, he would definitely do something to watch Huo Qingyan’s joke… I just didn’t expect Shen Xiumo to play so big…”
Shen Xiumo was the CEO of Huangsheng Media Group and came from a prominent family, just like Huo Qingyan.
Therefore, people often compared Shen Xiumo and Huo Qingyan.
Huo Qingyan didn’t care, but Shen Xiumo secretly competed with him.
When they were teenagers, they competed in grades; Huo Qingyan was always first, and he was the perennial second place.
In their twenties, they inherited their family businesses, and Huo’s Group’s stock rose more than Huangsheng Media Group’s.
Shen Xiumo competed everywhere and lost everywhere.
Occasionally, when he met Huo Qingyan at banquets, he never gave him a good look.
As a result, people in the circle knew that Shen Xiumo and Huo Qingyan didn’t get along.
Huo Qingyan didn’t specifically announce his marriage to Jiang Su to the public, but he didn’t deliberately hide it either, so Shen Xiumo also knew about it.
Jiang Su thoughtfully asked Xu Mochun, “If it’s really aimed at me, do you think I should accept it or not?”
“Let’s forget it, this kind of variety show might get you completely blacklisted.”
Xu Mochun had been searching online for Jiang Su’s related information for the past two days, mostly cursing Jiang Su, and found that Jiang Su was almost to the point of being completely blacklisted.
“I’m afraid I can’t refuse.” Jiang Su scrolled through the content on his phone screen, his expression slightly serious.
Xu Mochun leaned over and read the content on the screen: “According to an informed source, Jiang Su has agreed to participate in ‘After Divorce, Are You Happy?'”
There were many similar comments, which sounded very convincing.
Xu Mochun immediately understood: “Shen Xiumo is trying to create public opinion to force you to participate!”
“Maybe CEOs are all a little bit off.” Shen Xiumo was similar to Huo Qingyan in this aspect, they would do anything to achieve their goals.
Xu Mochun snorted coldly: “We won’t accept this show, we can’t let Shen Xiumo get his way!”
Jiang Su chuckled: “Why not? This is a Huangsheng project, many people would beg for it.”
Xu Mochun still disagreed: “But the risk is too high, if something goes wrong, people will say you’ll do anything for money.”
Jiang Su remained calm: “The higher the risk, the higher the reward. It’s also possible that people will turn from black to fan because of this show and start to like me?”
“I can’t argue with you!” Jiang Su was stubborn, and his family couldn’t do anything about him, let alone Xu Mochun.
…
The discussion about “After Divorce, Are You Happy?” remained high.
The production team struck while the iron was hot and began to announce the guest list.
They also deliberately kept people in suspense, announcing one guest a day.
The first guest announced was Dong Xinyue, a Best Actress with many classic works. She had recently divorced her wealthy husband.
Although it wasn’t Jiang Su, Dong Xinyue’s level of celebrity was enough to make netizens excited.
Many netizens also asked below: “Is Jiang Su participating?”
After reading the Weibo update, Xu Mochun was a little puzzled: “They haven’t contacted us yet, but they’ve started announcing the guest list?”
“Don’t worry, what should come will always come.” As soon as Jiang Su finished speaking, his phone rang.
Looking at the long phone number with a string of “6”s on his phone, Jiang Su smiled: “Isn’t it here now?”
This kind of number wasn’t something anyone could use.
As soon as the call was connected, a magnetic male voice came from the other end: “Mr. Jiang.”
Jiang Su also said, “Mr. Shen.”
Shen Xiumo chuckled softly; his originally magnetic voice seemed gentle: “I like dealing with smart people like Mr. Jiang.”
Jiang Su: “Me too.”
“I’m hosting a banquet at the Qingyang Hotel tonight, and I hope Mr. Jiang will grace us with your presence.” He said politely but with meaning.
“My honor.”
Jiang Su was polite on the surface but was already cursing inwardly.
Shen Xiumo was really good at causing trouble and deliberately held a banquet at the Qingyang Hotel.
…
That night…
Jiang Su, dressed in a neat suit, appeared on time at the entrance of the Qingyang Hotel.
“Mr. Jiang.”
Jiang Su looked up and saw a tall man slowly walking towards him.
The man had a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes, with a faint smile at the corners of his eyes, making him even more handsome.
Unfortunately, this smile was superficial, like a mask.
“Mr. Shen.” Jiang Su recognized him as Shen Xiumo.
The smile on Shen Xiumo’s face deepened: “Don’t be so formal, we’ve met before, you can call me by my name.”
Jiang Su gave a perfunctory smile.
Shen Xiumo didn’t seem to intend to go to the banquet hall yet. Jiang Su was puzzled when he heard Shen Xiumo feign surprise and sigh: “What a coincidence.”
He followed Shen Xiumo’s gaze and saw that extremely familiar Maybach…
