Chapter 16 【S】: When are you coming home?
Zhou Yili, single-handedly, blew up the entire internet.
The YC celebration had just given him a big boost, a nice career upgrade, but before he could even settle in, Zhou Yili kicked him right back down.
“Product quality substandard, carcinogenic???”
It was like a drop of ice water in a hot oil pan; the entire trending topics square erupted.
After all, modern young people all claim to want to die, but in reality, they value their lives more than anyone.
Their motto is——
I can choose not to live, but you can’t kill me.
“@YC Luxury Jewelry, come out and explain!”
“No way, is this real or fake? What about the jewelry I wore for seven months because of the spokesperson???”
“Consider yourself unlucky [folded hands]”
“It shouldn’t be, right? If there’s a quality problem, how could it be endorsed by top-tier male star Fang Siqian?”
“If you say so, maybe the reason why Shen, the Emperor (top actor), rejected this brand was because he knew about the quality issues?”
Fang Siqian’s loyal female fans arrived on the scene——
“Impossible, absolutely impossible!”
“Is this the start of a whitewash? If he knew there was a problem, why didn’t he say anything then, only doing this now?”
“There’s absolutely no problem, spread more rumors and I’ll send you a lawyer’s letter!”
“Who are you calling a rumor-monger?”
Zhou Yili’s fans were equally formidable.
Fang’s fans clearly didn’t want to offend this new devilish newcomer.
“Is there a possibility that you heard wrong? Maybe Zhou Yili meant…cancer-curing?”
The chaotic trending topics square.
Suddenly fell silent.
Even passersby couldn’t help but sigh:
“Wow, the Tang Dynasty’s prosperity has been surpassed! Fang’s fans are cultured; they’ve conjured up a jewelry-doctor.”
“HAHAHAHA I’m laughing so hard I’ve gotten a cramp in my pinky finger from laughing so hard that I’ve also got a Sima Guang smashing a jar injury.”
“……This world has finally become as crazy as I wanted it to be.”
“…”
The interview clip ends there.
Currently, netizens are only questioning YC and mocking Fang’s fans ‘You’re all living miracle doctors, so from now on, we don’t need to go to hospitals; we just need to wear the broken jewelry endorsed by your oppa.’
However, soon, the evidence arrived.
…
At 8 pm that night.
Major marketing accounts across the internet all moved together, simultaneously releasing inspection reports about YC jewelry’s substandard quality.
The scale was shocking.
“What’s going on, is there a marketing account group gathering tonight?”
“The last time I saw so many marketing accounts was the last time.”
“Whose financial power is at play here?”
Everyone subconsciously thought of one person.
The Lan’an richest man’s son, who would rather not mix in the entertainment industry and go home to inherit his family’s business.
At this time, a marketing account quietly revealed: “It’s not.”
It’s not Zhou Yili.
It’s Shen Jixing.
And it’s not that they wanted to move together; Shen, the Emperor, paid them too much!
He even brought out a severely flu-stricken Apple account, dragging his throat that had been cut by razor blades for three days, to shout hoarsely with inflection——
“Since YC Luxury Jewelry entered the domestic market, it has released more than ten new products. According to investigation data, all ten types of jewelry contain many substandard and harmful materials.”
“Including radiation-containing low-grade zircon, low-quality topaz, phosphorus-containing night pearls, dyed agate, artificial crystal, yin-yang jade, imitation serpentine…”
She shouted hoarsely: “Please get this unscrupulous brand out of China!!!”
Netizens: “…”
I know you’re in a hurry, but please calm down first.
In short, YC is finished.
Even the marketing accounts felt a little wistful.
After all, they were also insiders, and they weren’t as easily swayed as netizens. They could see that Shen, the Emperor, being surrounded by scandals overnight was deliberate.
The YC celebration was also a blood-sucking and oil-pouring event targeting him.
They thought he was in a difficult situation and could only swallow his anger.
Who would have thought that he would take down the entire YC brand that very night?
Someone sighed: “Being a fan of a highly intelligent idol is so satisfying.”
At this moment.
This highly intelligent idol stood on the balcony of the sky garden, his clear eyes looking at the white swing entwined with branches.
He tilted his head in confusion.
…Where’s his blanket?
Shen Jixing went back to the room.
Five minutes later, he held the thin gray fleece blanket, wrapping himself comfortably and lazily in the swing.
“What’s your relationship with Zhou Yili?” Pei Ming asked on the phone.
This is too bizarre.
Zhou Yili had just been trending, and Shen Jixing sent him the information, telling him to get ready to send YC out of China.
Pei Ming hadn’t even finished his PR meeting.
The answer was already solved by these two ancestors.
“Why would he suddenly help us?” Pei Ming was very puzzled.
Pei Ming was no stranger to Zhou Yili. This young master is too flamboyant; no one in the circle doesn’t know him.
But before this, the two families had no connection.
Pei Ming suddenly had an unbelievable guess, “Could he be your…mysterious benefactor?”
Shen Jixing: “…”
The night sky garden sparkled sparsely, and the white piano flowed with scattered moonlight.
The scent of snow-covered pine needles lingered on the fleece blanket. Shen Jixing felt an unprecedented laziness and relaxation.
He chuckled lightly, his tone languid, “Why don’t you say he’s my male fan I’m sleeping with?”
Pei Ming: “???”
Pei Ming: “…”
Pei Ming was directly sent to heaven by a bomb.
“What are you joking about?” Pei Ming subconsciously denied, “Impossible!”
He had met Zhou Yili a few times at events.
Young, flamboyant, with an air of noble and unrestrained temperament; in short, he’s not someone easy to mess with.
Such a person would obviously not worship or admire anyone.
But if…
The other party is Shen Jixing.
Pei Ming’s CPU burned up instantly, “Don’t scare me, is it true or false?”
If the person he’s sleeping with really is Zhou Yili, Pei Ming could jump down from the building right then and there.
Shen Jixing’s eyebrows were lightly lowered, his long eyelashes intertwined with the moonlight.
After a long time, his thin lips lightly uttered, “Who knows?”
The air in the fleece blanket was clean and fragrant. Shen Jixing leaned lazily against the back of his waist, his exquisite, cold-white chin slightly sunken in the soft blanket.
He said faintly: “Let’s ask him when he comes back.”
He also wanted to know why Zhou Yili helped him.
Pei Ming: “???”
Huh? No?
How many more surprises do you have that I don’t know about?
After hanging up the phone, Shen Jixing looked down casually, but he had been waiting for a long time.
Zhou Yili hadn’t come back all day.
Shen Jixing was always cold and straightforward. After a moment of silence, he picked up his phone and sent a message.
【S】: When are you coming home?
…
The ‘Half Awake’ sign flickered neon in the night.
The cheers in the venue accompanied the deafening DJ music, and colorful lights swept across the high-ball tower.
Sheng Que stood on the stage, screamed, and raised his glass.
“Tonight’s consumption is all paid for by Young Master Zhou!”
The scene erupted in great cheers.
Zhou Yili lifted his eyes, looking like he was looking at a lunatic, scanning his good friend on stage. “Idiot.”
He pulled a black card from Sheng Que’s suit pocket with his long fingers and threw it to the waiter.
“Swipe this later.”
The waiter swiped it and said, “It’s Mr. Fu Chen’s card, right?”
Zhou Yili nodded lazily, “Yeah.”
The other friends: “…”
When it comes to being a dog, who can be a bigger dog than Zhou Yili?
They looked at the chestnut-colored curly hair on stage dancing happily, unable to imagine the expression of the cold-faced CEO when he received the deduction message.
They could only silently light a cigarette for Sheng Que.
And then smoke it themselves.
“Not in a good mood?” A friend smiled and asked Zhou Yili, teasingly lifting his fox eyes, “Didn’t you just solve your sweetheart’s worries?”
Zhou Yili coldly raised his eyes, “Sweetheart?”
