"How did you get into Whispering Villa?"
Whispering Villa is very large. It's indeed difficult to manage, but the security has never been slack. There are security guards patrolling 24 hours a day, and surveillance cameras are installed all around.
Moreover, they not only managed to get into Whispering Villa but also accurately found their location to take sneak shots. This is either because there's a mole inside or they've been lying in ambush for at least one or two months.
Intuition told Song Jiaye it was the former.
The newspaper boss looked embarrassed. This question was a bit of a killer.
Finally, he could only say euphemistically, "Mr. Song, you're half in the industry. I'm sure you understand some of the industry rules. Although fans of celebrities all scold us entertainment reporters for prying into people's privacy and call us paparazzi, hating us to the core. But as the saying goes, existence is reasonable. Sometimes when we take sneak shots of celebrities and expose some harmless little scandals, it also helps boost the celebrities' popularity. For our newspaper, a part of our financial source even comes from the handouts of celebrity agents."
Song Jiaye understood.
He asked his secretary to show the newspaper boss out. The newspaper boss kept thanking him when he left.
The unreal feeling of having survived a disaster made him forget that he'd been invited here and sat for most of the day.
Because of the two sneak - shot videos, Li Xiyu's name completely became well - known. The internet was in an uproar because of her. The public relations departments of Li's Film Industry and Li's Department Store were both having emergency meetings and reacting quickly.
As for Li Qiyu, the person involved, she had just learned how to download Weibo.
By this time, the hot searches had been removed. The two of them were looking down the hot - search list. During this process, Li Qiyu saw many terms that were very strange to her.
For example: XXX (a female celebrity)'s A4 waist. Then there were a row of comments in the topic saying how thin the waist was. For others who followed suit and posted photos of their thin waists, the comments were also: Another A4 waist.
Li Qiyu was very puzzled. "Why do they all show their waists? The doctor said that the waist is the backbone of the body. If they expose their waists and catch a cold now, they'll have back pain when they get old."
Ming Yuexuan: "… Why is your focus so strange? Shouldn't you think their waists are very thin?"
Li Qiyu shook her head and said, "Huanhuan has a slender waist like those in the Chu Palace. Any dancing girl in the palace had a thinner waist than them. And you've never seen Concubine Xiang. She could dance on the palm of a maid. Her waist was really thin."
Ming Yuexuan: "Sorry, they've been dead for thousands of years. I'm really not blessed to see her."
Li Qiyu: "…"
Another example: XXX (a male celebrity)'s beautiful appearance that shakes the world. Then everyone would go crazy praising the male celebrity's retouched photos.
This time, Li Qiyu didn't go off - topic. She frowned and replied, "Is he good - looking?"
"Isn't he? He looks so delicate and has millions of fans."
"Such a look is suitable for a gigolo but can't be put on the big stage."
"Then what kind of look do you think is good - looking and suitable for the big stage?"
Li Qiyu tilted her head and thought seriously for a while, then replied, "Someone like Song Jiaye."
Ming Yuexuan shook her head helplessly. "You're hopeless."
Skimming over a whole bunch of male and female celebrities vying for attention, they finally found the hot search #Li Xiyu, the eldest daughter of the Li family#. Before clicking on this hot search, Ming Yuexuan prepared Li Qiyu mentally.
"Xiaoyu, people on the internet have very dirty mouths. No matter what you see later, don't take it to heart."
"Dirty mouths? Don't they rinse their mouths?"
Ming Yuexuan: "Dirty mouths means they'll scold you, and the scolding will be very ugly. Forget it. No matter how much I say, you won't understand... You'll know when you see it."
Ming Yuexuan took a deep breath and clicked on the hot - search topic. As a result, all the comments inside were like: "So sweet! I'm shipping it! I'm shipping it!"
Ming Yuexuan was completely stunned.
What's wrong with this generation of netizens?
Weren't they just fighting? Why did the style change so quickly?
When she saw the post by the blogger named Song Jiaye, she instantly understood.
Sure enough, it was Li's Film Industry. Their public - relations ability was really something.
No wonder the hot searches had been suppressed.
Knowing that everything was okay, Ming Yuexuan also relaxed. Li Qiyu was still looking at Ming Yuexuan with innocent big eyes and asked, "Didn't you say they would scold me? Does 'I'm shipping it' mean scolding me?"
Ming Yuexuan: "…" She didn't know Song Jiaye would act so quickly. She thought she could show her skills, but in less than a day, there was no chance at all.
Unable to express her talent and unable to fulfill her great ambition, Ming Yuexuan was very depressed. Facing Li Qiyu's question, she simply made up nonsense seriously. "I'm shipping it means they want you to kowtow to them. It means scolding you."
Li Qiyu gasped when she saw the screen full of "I'm shipping it".
Sure enough, as Ming Yuexuan said, the online world was so dirty.
However, there were also fun things. For example, those short videos she watched. Li Qiyu couldn't stop once she started watching. While watching, she said to Ming Yuexuan, "Are you modern people all this strange?"
There were lobsters bigger than people, people eating in iron pots bigger than bathtubs, and there were even people who could eat a whole table of dishes in one meal.
At first, Ming Yuexuan would explain and struggle, "This is an exaggeration. It's just a different filming technique."
Later, annoyed by the questions, she simply gave up. "Yes, we modern people are just like this."
Until Li Qiyu swiped to a tacky Victoria's Secret show where people made clothes out of banana leaves.
When it came to this, Ming Yuexuan got excited.
"Victoria's Secret has an exhibition tomorrow. Do you want to go and see it?"
"Victoria's Secret? What's that?"
"Clothes. It sells clothes." Ming Yuexuan was very sly and didn't say it sold lingerie, lest Li Qiyu be scared away.
"But I already have a lot of clothes." Li Qiyu thought of the big room full of clothes. She felt that the Li Xiyu's family could even open a clothing store.
"For women, how could they ever think there are too many clothes in their wardrobes? Besides, we're just going to have a look, to learn a bit and let you know how modern women dress."
Li Qiyu was convinced.
"Okay."
This time, Ming Yuexuan was smarter. Before taking Li Qiyu out, she reported to Song Jiaye, simply saying they were going to a exhibition.
Song Jiaye didn't suspect anything. He thought Li Xiyu would be bored staying at home all day, so it would be good for her to go out for a walk. However, since Li Qiyu was currently the focus of the topic, he asked Ming Yuexuan to take a few more people with them. By the way, he told Li Qiyu to cover herself up well so as not to be recognized.
The next day, Xiao Wu drove Li Qiyu and Ming Yuexuan to the Victoria's Secret exhibition venue.
The sun was very strong outside. Ming Yuexuan held up an umbrella, partly to block the sun and partly to hide their identities.
After dropping them off, Xiao Wu was going back to report. She took a look at the stand at the exhibition entrance. This seemed to be... a Victoria's Secret exhibition?
It wasn't strange for women to come to a lingerie show. It was just that Ming Yuexuan taking the mistress to come seemed a bit strange.
After all, Miss Ming had taken the mistress to a bar before and almost scared the mistress away.
Thinking of this, Xiao Wu felt it was necessary to report to Mr. Song.
