Chapter 310: Gu Yihuan and Pang Zijin Extra Story 4
Within less than a year of his debut, Gu Yihuan released his first solo album, crafted by a top team, and the sales were very good. During that year, he sang quite a few film and TV the songs and was a regular guest on a variety show.
The entertainnt industry is a huge dye vat, and with fa cos trouble and scandals. A new female actress who started in internet dramas took a fancy to Gu Yihuan after recording a few shows with him. Paparazzi had previously captured Gu Yihuan entering Flower Chamber Hall, and those who knew who lived in Flower Chamber Hall understood what that implied. Gu Yihuan ca from a well-off family and had a propensity for hitting the hot search, so it wasn’t unusual for the opposite sex in the circle to take a liking to him, but this new actress was particularly brazen, the first of her kind.
The actress’s na was Ling Ling, and after finishing the recording, she was photographed with Gu Yihuan at the hotel. At the ti, Pang Zijin was on a business trip abroad and was dealing with jet lag, so Seo Cheng, Gu Yihuan’s manager, didn’t tell her about the incident imdiately.
The next afternoon, Ling Ling’s manager, Du Jingjing, ca to discuss counterasures. Du Jingjing suggested that instead of clearing things up, they should stir up a CP (Celebrity Pairing).
Ling Ling was quite popular with the public, and after the scandal broke, the online sentint was surprisingly not bad—after all, neither party was an idol. With the man handso and the woman beautiful, and with the added touch of editing, their interactions during the shows had ignited so sparks.
Publicly promoting a CP was one of the quickest ways to gain topicality, sothing that Pang Zijin had previously ntioned. Gu Yihuan had been paired with a male singer from Huasheng when he first debuted, and the effect was quite significant.
Seo Cheng thought it over and felt that Du Jingjing’s proposal was viable.
“What do you think?” Seo Cheng asked Gu Yihuan.
Soone was knocking on the door outside the conference room.
“Brother Seo.”
“What’s the matter?”
Hisassistant Xiao Fang said breathlessly from outside, “President Pang is back.”
Seo Cheng had just stood up when the door was pushed open, and Pang Zijin entered, her high heels clacking steadily against the floor, neither hurried nor slow.
Seo Cheng exclaid in surprise, “Weren’t you at Wujin negotiating a project?” He had heard it was a very big project.
Pang Zijin glanced at Ling Ling with a light and indifferent look and turned her gaze back to Seo Cheng, “I’ve been away for only a few days, and this is how you manage things for ?”
President Pang was angry, although it wasn’t obvious.
Seo Cheng felt a tingling in his scalp; though he was older than Pang Zijin by a generation, he couldn’t quite muster his usual spiritedness in her presence. Even as a slick veteran of the entertainnt industry, he felt diminished in front of her.
Du Jingjing, who had been sitting, stood up, “Good day, President Pang, I am Ling Ling’s manager. My last na is Du.”
Du Jingjing extended her hand.
Pang Zijin pulled up a chair without shaking hands and sat down.
Du Jingjing withdrew her hand indifferently, “The thing is, the angles of those exposed photos are quite tricky. If we clarify, I’m afraid it might backfire. Previously when Ling Ling and Yihuan were recording the show together, their interactions were quite topical, and many fans were pleased to see them together. So, I think it might be better not to clarify things for now and just maintain the heat. If the two of them really get together later—”
Pang Zijin cut her off, turned her head, and looked at Gu Yihuan, her eyelids narrow on the inside and wide on the outside, forming a beautiful S-shape, “Have you talked with her?”
Gu Yihuan, lacking sleep from the night before, spoke listlessly, “No.”
“Playing around with ambiguity?”
“No.”
“Thinking about stirring up a CP?”
Gu Yihuan glanced at Ling Ling irritably, “Don’t want to.”
Miss Little Scar of the He Dongzhou family was hospitalized due to a rejection reaction after an organ transplant. Gu Yihuan had visited the hospital after finishing a recording session yesterday, and it was already late when he returned. At the door of his hotel room, Ling Ling suddenly called out to him, ntioning that her room was just next door, along with a bunch of confusing talk—he was so tired he hardly took any of it in.
He straightened his legs irritably and accidentally kicked the stool opposite him, worsening his mood: “The room number was arranged by the production team, I’m not familiar with her.”
Ling Ling looked at Gu Yihuan reproachfully, upset that he had no sympathy for her, and her eyes began to redden slowly.
Du Jingjing patted Ling Ling on the shoulder, Gu Yihuan had good resources, and Du Jingjing did not want to miss this bundling opportunity, “President Pang, since it’s already been captured, why not make good use of the buzz? It’s not about really dating; as long as both parties benefit, it should be fine.”
Pang Zijin thought that Du Jingjing must have so hearing issues, “Didn’t you hear my artist say he doesn’t want to?”
She had just finished a eting the day before and saw the news back ho. After a flight lasting over a dozen hours, she hadn’t eaten breakfast or lunch and was at an all-ti low mood, completely out of patience. She sent a voice ssage directly to the public relations and legal affairs group chat.
“What are you all doing? Up to now, there’s not a single counterasure. Get the surveillance footage if needed, issue the statents that should be issued. What, are you all just waiting for
to co and clean up the ss?”
It wasn’t that they were waiting for the big boss to clean up the ss; it was that the boss might not be happy with the ss they had cleaned up. Stirring up a CP was actually not a bad idea… But no one dared to speak up.
The public relations and legal affairs were all in one group, and Pang Zijin had ford a dedicated team to handle Gu Yihuan’s affairs.
“He doesn’t have any engagents this afternoon?” Pang Zijin asked Seo Cheng.
Seo Cheng pulled up the sleepy Ancestor Gu, “He does.” He ushered his charge out quickly.
Du Jingjing wanted to say more, but Pang Zijin had lost interest.
“Let’s call it a day.”
Pang Zijin got up and walked out, “Xiao Fang, co with .”
Xiao Fang was sweating profusely, having taken a leave the previous night to placate his upset girlfriend.
Gu Yihuan’s team was highly efficient, and a clarifying statent was released that afternoon. They also posted so screenshots from the hotel’s surveillance footage, quite different from the paparazzi’s deceptive angles, showing the two main characters two ters apart, nothing like what the marketing accounts purported about them being inseparable and clinging. Furthermore, they subtly raised the issue of the production team’s irresponsible editing for the sake of generating buzz.
Ling Ling’s team also retweeted the post to clarify things.
The next evening, just after work and leaving the set, Ling Ling saw Gu Yihuan’s nanny van parked behind her car. Her face lit up with joy, and she imdiately approached it and knocked on the window.
The car door opened, but the person who stepped out was not Gu Yihuan.
Ling Ling halted mid-step, “President Pang.”
Pang Zijin appeared completely unruffled, her legs crossed with a blanket draped over them. As she shifted to the side, the tassels on the blanket swept over her nude-colored high heels, exposing her ankle.
“Miss Ling.”
Du Jingjing had warned Ling Ling that Pang Zijin had a face that seed kind to everyone, always smiling, but she was a shrewd businesswoman at heart, incredibly scheming.
“I heard that the other night you asked the production team to change rooms for you at the last minute.”
