Chapter 273: He Snatched Him On Purpose

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Huo Chaosheng took Lin Shanchu to Yong Shui Pavilion. Huo Chaosheng picked a seat by the window.

“The view from here is the best.”

“Oh.”

Lin Shanchu was not interested in the scenery outside the window.

After ordering the food and handing the menu to Huo Chaosheng, she took out her phone and started surfing the internet.

The entertainment industry had been very calm these few days. There was still no major news.

However, a trending topic caught her attention.

#XiaJinmengAndZongPeiTogether

This trending topic was noticeable near the top of the ranking.

Lu Shiyuan really went all out to support Xia Jinmeng.

He even asked Zong Pei to guide her.

Zong Pei was currently on the rise, and it would be very disadvantageous for him to guide a newcomer like Xia Jinmeng.

Xia Jinmeng’s reputation was not good because of the video that Wen Huan had posted. She was now labeled as a “mistress”.

It was not a win-win situation to have Zong Pei and Xia Jinmeng teamed up for marketing. Instead, Xia Jinmeng would one-sidedly drain Zong Pei’s popularity.

The netizens’ attitude was exactly what Lin Shanchu had expected.

They did not buy it at all.

[Lu Shiyuan is really disgusting. He wants to support his lover and even dragged Zong Pei down.]

[Zhong Pei finally got a little popular, but now he has to guide a newbie to share his popularity.]

[That’s right. It’s fine if he has to guide a newbie, but he’s guiding Tang Qidai ver. 2.0.]

[Zong Pei: Bad luck!]

[I’m fed up with Lu. If that disgusting man would still be considered a man if he stepped in to support Xia Jinmeng! It’s too lowly for him to treat other artists as tools to support Xia Jinmeng!]

Zong Pei had gained many new fans recently due to the variety show, but many of them became Xia Jinmeng’s anti-fans because of this incident.

Although Xia Jinmeng lost her reputation, she gained some anti-fans.

Anti-fans were also fans who contributed to her popularity.

The more these netizens condemned Xia Jinmeng, the more Lu Shiyuan’s heart would ache and the more he would be willing to spend resources on Xia Jinmeng.

However, in order to make Lu Shiyuan pay more attention to Xia Jinmeng, Lin Shanchu decided to add fuel to the fire.

She sent Wen Huan a WeChat message: [Help me post an article sympathizing with Zong Pei.]

Wen Huan: [0K.]

As the netizens felt sorry for Zong Pei, they hated Xia Jinmeng even more.

The more difficult Xia Jinmeng’s situation was, the more Lu Shiyuan would want to protect her.

As long as the two of them got closer, the chances of Xia Jinmeng sleeping with Lu Shiyuan would be higher.

It was mealtime, but the dishes were served a little slower than usual.

Huo Chaosheng and Lin Shanchu chatted casually.

At this moment, a waiter led the two male customers to sit behind them.

The seats by the window were separated by a screen, but it was not soundproof.

The waiter said apologetically, “I’m sorry, President Li. There are no private rooms available now. Please sit here for a while.” “Alright, remember to arrange a private room for me later.”

“Okay, please take a look at the menu.”

President Li was probably a regular customer of Yong Shui Pavilion as he ordered very quickly. “This one, and this one. President Fu, what do you want to eat?”

They quickly ordered the dishes.

“Okay, please take a look at the menu.”

“President Fu, didn’t you say that you were going to sign an investment contract with Lu Corporation? Why are you suddenly working with Tianzhou

Media now?”

Lin Shanchu had no intention of eavesdropping on their conversation.

However, they mentioned Lu Corporation and Tianzhou Media.

Huo Chaosheng, who was sitting across from her, had obviously noticed the conversation at the next table. He exchanged glances with Lin Shanchu and tilted his head slightly to listen.

The conversation at the next table continued.

“I just think that President Lu of Lu Corporation is getting more and more unreliable. He can’t even handle his family affairs well. Scandals keep coming one after another. Isn’t it outrageous?”

“But he had a lot of scandals in the past. Haven’t you worked with him for a long time? Brother Li, just tell me the truth.”

“Jeez!”

President Li sighed and lowered his voice. “The letter of intent for cooperation from Tianzhou Media is much more sincere than that Lu guy’s…” “Is Tianzhou Media trying to snatch Lu Corporation’s business?”

“I don’t care who’s robbing who. All the projects done by Tianzhou Media this year have been very successful. Anyway, it’s fine as long as I can earn money…”

“That’s true.”

President Li and President Fu at the next table changed the topic and started talking about other things.

Huo Chaosheng lowered his voice and said with interest, “My Third Brother snatched your fiancé’s business.”

It was normal for competitors to compete with each other.

This year, Tianzhou Media debuted the new top-notch celebrity, Ji Yuan, and the talent show “My Stage” was also a great success. The results were very impressive.

Plenty of investors wanted to invest in Tianzhou Media.

Therefore, there was no need for Tianzhou Media to go to great lengths to snatch an investor who was negotiating a contract with Lu Corporation. However, Huo Xunzhou made a move and snatched the investor.

He snatched him on purpose.

Lin Shanchu narrowed her eyes and said casually, “He probably wants to help you vent your anger.”

Huo Chaosheng nodded in agreement. “I think so too.”

She was speechless. She just said it casually, but she did not expect that Huo Chaosheng would take it seriously.

Huo Chaosheng probably had a hidden brother complex, didn’t he?

Wen Huan was an expert at leading public opinion.

Lin Shanchu only asked him to post an article sympathizing with Zong Pei.

Not only did he post the article, but he also went to a forum to lead public opinion.

His actions directly caused Zong Pei’s fans to become agitated and condemned Xia Jinmeng on the forum.

In one night, she had been condemned with more than ten thousand replies.

Moreover, the netizens had no intention of stopping.

This series of reverse operation directly made Zong Pei trending.

Lu Shiyuan originally wanted Xia Jinmeng and Zong Pei to team up for marketing. He wanted Xia Jinmeng to take advantage of Zong Pei’s popularity. As a result, Xia Jinmeng was now being condemned and Zong Pei had gained a huge number of fans by relying on the sympathy card.

In fact, this result was not within Lin Shanchu’s expectations.

She sent a message to Wen Huan: [You’re a marketing genius. aren’t vou?l

Wen Huan: [I barely know a little. I can’t be called a genius.]

Naturally, some people were happy with this outcome, whereas some were angry.

Zong Pei and his manager were happy, but Lu Shiyuan was angry.

Lu Shiyuan called Zong Pei and his manager to the office.

He showed the manager the post that condemned Xia Jinmeng with more than ten thousand replies.

“Who did it?”

“President Lu, we just found out about this. It has nothing to do with us.” The manager hurriedly denied any connection with the post.

“I’ll give you one last chance!” The person who benefited from this incident was Zong Pei, so Lu Shiyuan did not believe the manager’s words.

At this moment, the office door was pushed open.

“I did it.”

Just like last time, Lin Shanchu came in with a group of bodyguards.

“Zong Pei and Xia Jinmeng teamed up for marketing, but they didn’t meet expectations. As one of the shareholders, it’s natural that I have to think of ways to recover some of the benefits as much as possible.”

“I will handle the company’s affairs myself!” Lu Shiyuan shouted, “There’s no need for you to interfere!”

“I didn’t want to interfere either, but…” Lin Shanchu changed the topic. “Even President Li, who’s in long-term cooperation with Lu Corporation, has been snatched away by Tianzhou Media.. Is this what you call ‘you’ll handle it yourself!?”
