Today's Headlines 2, on a Whim

Zhu Xi Residential Area.

The living room lights were turned on.

Gao Mengting yawned, plopped down on the sofa, and leaned back, half-lying down.

After a moment, Cheng Qiuqiu came over with a plate of fruit, her voice a little hoarse, and said, "Senior Schoolmate, have something to eat."

After leaving the Olympic Sports Center, I took a bus to Qiaoxi, and then a taxi to my residential area. It's almost 1 a. m. now.

Both of them were exhausted and hungry.

"Thank you, Qiu Qiu." Gao Mengting sat up and picked up a piece of watermelon to eat.

The cool, Cool, Cool juice slid down her esophagus from her mouth, instantly energizing her.

"I should be thanking you, Senior Schoolmate. Tonight is probably the happiest day of my life. The concert tickets you gave me are very meaningful to me."

"Okay, no need to be so polite, you've thanked me so many times already."

After filling my stomach, I finally felt much better.

Looking at Cheng Qiuqiu next to her, who was excitedly typing on her Mobile Phone, Gao Mengting shook her head and smiled, "Young people have such great stamina."

During the previous three-hour concert, Cheng Qiuqiu basically didn't stop, crying and shouting.

I didn't expect him to be so energetic now.

"Hehe, I'm so excited tonight, I feel like I have so much energy." Cheng Qiuqiu smiled playfully. "Senior Schoolmate, you should go take a shower first. I don't have to work tomorrow, you should get some rest."

The atmosphere at the concert was so exciting, and with it being the middle of summer, they were all sweating profusely.

I definitely won't be able to sleep without taking a shower.

"Actually, we can shower together, I don't mind," Gao Mengting said with a sideways Wei Xiao, teasing her.

Over the past few days, she has come to realize that this junior student is quite contradictory.

Cheng Qiuqiu was actually quite famous at Yan City University. When she first enrolled, many people teased her, calling her the most beautiful girl in the department or the most beautiful girl in the school. She also had many suitors.

However, she had a cold personality and always seemed aloof, so gradually all her suitors left.

She is like Naoko in "Norwegian Wood," lonely, cold, and closed off.

Even with her, he was not very willing to confide in her.

However, when it comes to the topic of Su Yu, she becomes incredibly enthusiastic and can chat happily with strangers.

She seems to have transformed into "Midori" from "Norwegian Wood," energetic, outgoing, and free-spirited.

She felt that this junior must have experienced some kind of trauma in the past to be so conflicted.

As her Senior Schoolmate and roommate, she felt it was necessary to give her some advice and often joked with her.

Hopefully, she will meet someone like "Naoko" in the future, someone like "Watanabe" who can elicit a physical response from her; otherwise, it would be such a shame.

Hearing her Senior Schoolmate's words, Cheng Qiuqiu secretly glanced at her and quickly shook her head, saying, "No... no, I... I'm not used to being with other people."

Although she has no physical reaction to men, she also has no same-sex attraction.

I chose to share an apartment with this Senior Schoolmate because she is known for her gentle and kind personality, and she is a typical artsy young woman. We get along very well.

I don't have any thoughts in that regard.

Gao Mengting blinked and asked, "What if Su Yu wants to take a bath with you?"

Cheng Qiuqiu paused for a moment, then said somewhat embarrassedly, "If it's Su Yu, it's not impossible."

Everyone loves beautiful things.

Su Yu's figure and looks are a perfect work of art in her eyes, and she simply cannot refuse them.

Gao Mengting jokingly teased her a few times and then chatted with her about Su Yu.

Cheng Qiuqiu's eyes lit up instantly.

"The entire Internet Plus is in an uproar right now. The top 10 trending topics on Weibo and Douyin are all about Su Yu. It's unbelievable."

"Especially the 3.5-hour concert, the God-Level Performance of the new song, and Su Yu's makeup and styling... many media outlets and fans are speculating why Su Yu acted so out of character this time..."

"As a fan of Su Yu for ten years, I feel that Su Yu today is her complete self, like the bright moon in the sky, shining brightly and eclipsing the stars. Although I don't know why, I am happy for her from the bottom of my heart."

Cheng Qiuqiu excitedly shared many of her thoughts on Su Yu. Seeing Gao Mengting constantly yawning, she quickly said, "Senior Schoolmate, you should go wash up quickly. I'm going to my bedroom to organize my thoughts and post some messages."

"Okay, goodnight then."

Goodnight, Senior Schoolmate. Sweet dreams!

Gao Mengting stood up, took off her clothes in the bedroom, wrapped herself in a bath towel, and walked into the bathroom.

I took a quick shower and brushed my teeth, but didn't bother with skincare.

Gao Mengting turned on the electric fan and collapsed onto the bed.

She was used to sleeping naked, so she didn't wear pajamas and just lay naked on the summer quilt, snoring away.

In a daze, a piercing scream suddenly rang out.

It's Qiu Qiu!

Gao Mengting woke up instantly, thinking that something had happened.

He climbed onto the bed barefoot, opened the bedroom door, and rushed out.

Immediately afterwards, he bumped right into Cheng Qiuqiu, who was coming out of the bathroom.

"Bang!" Two naked bodies collided.

Gao Mengting clearly felt herself being bounced by the two balls.

"What's wrong, Qiu Qiu? What happened?!" Gao Mengting asked anxiously, disregarding everything else.

Cheng Qiuqiu's eyes widened, and she pointed at her Mobile Phone, speechless.

Her face was flushed, tears welled up in her eyes, and she couldn't utter a single word.

He just kept shouting "Ahhh".

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, your Senior Schoolmate is here!" Gao Mengting's eyebrows twitched, thinking that something had happened to her family member, and she quickly stepped forward to hug her.

Then, somewhat awkwardly, he let go of her hand.

They were both naked, and it felt strange to be hugging like that.

"Su Yu! Su Yu!" Cheng Qiuqiu, oblivious to everything, handed her the water-stained Mobile Phone.

Hearing that it wasn't something that happened to her family, Gao Mengting finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He took the Mobile Phone and looked at it, a look of astonishment on his face.

The trending topics on Weibo's homepage have different titles, but they all mean roughly the same thing.

[Su Yu's Romance]

[Su Yu's Relationship Revealed for the First Time]

[Su Yu's Boyfriend]

The pinned post at the top of the Weibo app is a post by Su Yu.

[Su Yu: "The Dream Echoes, and I finally saw the person I had longed for day and night. We were always moving in the same direction, and I love you just the same, and I will never back down."]

Below is a selfie.

She was wearing an ordinary white shirt, her arms raised, and the focus of the photo was a dazzling bracelet wrapped around her wrist, which, against Su Yu's wrist, resembled the most brilliant dreamlike galaxy in the night sky.

It exudes an air of magnificence and nobility.

Her face was beaming with a bright and happy smile, even with a rare hint of pride and playfulness.

It doesn't fit her usual persona, but it's exceptionally real and charming.

"Su Yu is in love?" Gao Mengting asked incredulously. "This... this is truly earth-shattering."

Cheng Qiuqiu nodded, her voice trembling, "It should be true. Besides Weibo, Douyin, fan forums, and even overseas Instagram and Twitter all posted this update simultaneously."

Su Yu is free-spirited, confident, and proud. She never bothers with hype, let alone entertains the Volkswagen with her private affairs.

Moreover, as a director and shareholder of Tang Zong Entertainment, she herself is capital, so there is no need for her to hype herself up.

She is currently recognized as the top superstar in the Asia-Pacific region, and also has considerable influence in other regions and countries.

To date, she has had no scandals and has never had any intimate scenes in her films.

She has a very narrow social circle and rarely spends time alone with male friends.

Even when attending parties or events, they are careful to keep their distance from them.

Many people, including her fans, suspect she is a lesbian.

This is also why Cheng Qiuqiu blushed when she heard Gao Mengting teasing her before.

On a deeper level, she was more accepting of the idea that Su Yu was a Lesbian.

It's unimaginable what kind of man could be worthy of her.

This Weibo, which was published not long ago, has already received more than 300,000 comments, 200,000 reposts, and more than 1.5 million likes.

The comment section was filled with enthusiastic fan messages.

Considering today's 3.5-hour concert and Su Yu's unusual behavior, most people realized that this was probably true.

Some offered their blessings, some were devastated, and some calmly analyzed the situation...

They argue with each other.

The massive concurrency directly crashed Weibo's database.

Unable to refresh, unable to load, unable to search.

Keep in mind, this was past 1 a. m. on a weekday.

The buzz surrounding this issue continues to surge, with app notifications popping up one after another.

The topic of Su Yu has remained trending all day today.

It reached its peak with the moment she announced her relationship.

This topic is being discussed in every group chat without exception.

After calming down a bit, Cheng Qiuqiu looked at the naked Senior Schoolmate opposite her, then at herself, and her ears instantly turned red and hot.

She quickly lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry, Senior Schoolmate, I disturbed your sleep. Um... I'm going to continue taking a shower."

After saying that, he quickly turned around, and his body trembled violently.

Gao Mengting looked on with envy.

"Brother, why did you go down there?" Zhao Yachian lay on Tang Song's lap, her eyes glazed as she looked down at his lower body.

They were so energetic just a moment ago, how come they suddenly became listless?

Tang Song grinned and lifted her upturned buttocks with his foot. "You can continue. Consider it practice for your verbal expression."

"Okay, okay." Zhao Yachian nodded, mustered her courage, and lowered her head again.

Her communication skills are indeed lacking and urgently need improvement.

Feeling the warmth of the beautician, Tang Song breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at Su Yu's post, I felt a mix of emotions.

He actually understood what she meant.

When Tang Zong Entertainment first started, apart from recruiting Su Yu and Mo Xiangwan, everything else was handled by Secretary Jin and Wu Kezhi.

The main channels were Smiling Holdings and Jingwu Capital, with subsequent financing and acquisitions involving several overseas funds.

Secretary Jin and Su Yu definitely know each other.

Moreover, I was very addicted to the "Celebrity Development" dungeon in the game for a period of time.

He specially compiled a list of songs and scripts that would become hits in the future and gave them to Su Yu, and also helped her choose her outfits and makeup.

This also enabled her to acquire many foreign special effects companies, filming teams, and production companies.

Of course, this also led to neglect in the management of other assets.

Secretary Jin in the game had a lot of complaints about this, which caused her to lose a lot of Good impression and she even quit the game because of it.

The system also issued warnings multiple times.

It's as if he was having an affair with a female celebrity and his wife found out.

Fortunately, he was a cheater with a god-like perspective, and with the help of a series of game tasks and items, he gradually pulled back to the top.

This matter was not truly over until the establishment of the "Tang Jin Family Office".

Having satisfied his desires and with Tang Zong Entertainment on the right track, he turned his attention to other areas.

In the real world, given Secretary Jin's skills and power, it's easy to imagine that there must have been many unseen conflicts between Su Yu and her.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have immediately revealed fragments of her dream just because of Su Yu's official announcement.

After all, even when he signed Zhao Yachian as his Partner, he hadn't completed the hidden mission "The Enraged Secretary Jin".

Seeing the message on the screen about the character "Secretary Jin's " intense emotional fluctuations, Tang Song felt a chill run down his spine.

He has a good understanding of himself.

Besides beauticians and female celebrities, there will be many more "mistresses" in the future.

Could this cause Secretary Jin to turn evil and hire someone to run over this scumbag man with a dump truck?

Tang Song suddenly shuddered.

The beautician thought she had been praised, so she spoke even more enthusiastically, and even took the time to do some small tricks.

Tang Song gently stroked Zhao Yachian's soft hair and closed his eyes.

Although Secretary Jin's loyalty, belonging, and Good impression are all at maximum in the game, she is now a living, breathing person. Even if her values won't drop under the system's control, her feelings still need to be considered.

We must speed things up. We need to take the [Second Stage Growth Plan Task] seriously, improve our charm rating as soon as possible, and gain higher system privileges.

In addition, we also need to find a way to collect the last piece of "Secretary Jin's Dream Fragment".

Enter her dream and comfort this "paper doll wife" who accompanied him from the very beginning of his business.

"Brother, my gums are sore." Zhao Yachian looked up at him with a pitiful expression.

Tang Song glanced at his beautician friend's youthful and alluring body, and cursed inwardly, "Pah! What a scumbag!"

Then, gripping the beautician's wine glass leg tightly, he began the second game of the ball game.

Trash talk and dirty tricks filled the court.

June 21, 2023, Summer Solstice, Wednesday, Sunny, 22~37℃.

Cheng Qiuqiu woke up from her sleep, stared blankly for a while, and then suddenly shivered.

I quickly picked up my Mobile Phone from the bedside table.

First, I checked the time.

It's already past 9 o'clock.

She was so excited last night that she didn't fall asleep until after 4 a. m., and she's still feeling a bit dizzy.

My WeChat is filled with countless unread messages.

Discussions about Su Yu's love life are rampant in various Fan Group.

After browsing the group chat, Cheng Qiuqiu opened Weibo and began to browse the latest entertainment news.

Online, everyone is discussing who Su Yu's lover is.

Some say it's a senior executive at Tang Zong Entertainment, others say it's a male star they've worked with, and still others say it's a woman.

After scrolling through Weibo and Douyin for a while, public opinion suddenly shifted.

Various media outlets and influential figures have successively released videos produced overnight.

Those who believe Su Yu's confession are her fans who support her.

She and her fans go hand in hand; she loves her fans and will never back down.

She analyzed and explained her past actions, the people she had contacted, and the unusual nature of this concert, making a very logical and reasonable point.

Cheng Qiuqiu herself was almost convinced.

Then they started posting and blogging, expressing their opinions and helping their idols build a positive image.

As a 10-year fan of Su Yu, in her memory, the only men who had contact with Su Yu or were in the news with her were from the Echo Girl Group era.

Regardless of who Su Yu's lover is, she expressed her support and understanding, and will firmly stand by her idol's side.

With all that done, Cheng Qiuqiu breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately afterwards, another series of notifications popped up.

Wang Liyu & Chen Si announce their relationship

[Shocking! Wang Liyu suddenly announces his relationship, fans are in an uproar!]

Cheng Qiuqiu's heart, which had just calmed down, started pounding again.

Wang Liyu is currently one of the top young male celebrities in China. Having debuted just two and a half years ago, he has already risen to the second tier and has many big-name endorsements.

There is a great deal of discussion about him online.

Chen Si is a well-known movie star who has starred in many big-budget domestic films. She is currently a regular Guest on a wildly popular reality show in China and enjoys great popularity.

Open Weibo and refresh it.

Su Yu's pinned post has disappeared, replaced by another one.

[Wang Liyu: "@Chen Si, let me introduce you, this is my girlfriend."]

Chen Si also responded with the same Weibo.

Not long after, Weibo crashed again.

Cheng Qiuqiu moved to another platform to continue watching the drama unfold.

Immediately afterwards, a series of app notifications popped up.

Zhao Zhenyun and Ma Zizi announce their divorce.

Ma Zizi accuses Zhao Zhenyun of multiple extramarital affairs.

What's wrong with me today?!

Cheng Qiuqiu's eyes widened in disbelief, overwhelmed by one shocking revelation after another.

hurried footsteps echoed in the hallway.

"Ding-dong—Ding-dong—"

The apartment door was gently opened.

Immediately afterwards, Mo Xiangwan, who hadn't slept all night and whose eyes were bloodshot, walked in.

Looking at Su Yu, who seemed completely unaffected, he said with a serious expression, "Little Yu, you were too impulsive! You should know how serious the consequences of this are!"

"I'm sorry to have troubled you." Su Yu hugged her agent.

Mo Xiangwan took a deep breath, patted her shoulder, and said, "Delete that post. The company will handle the rest for you."

As the representative of Tang Zong Entertainment, Su Yu's every move can affect the company's stock price.

This time, in particular, it thoroughly angered Director Jin of Smiling Holdings.

It is foreseeable that the upcoming board meetings and shareholders' meetings will be another battle for power.

Moreover, Smiling Holdings is involved in several large-scale projects currently underway, such as the construction of film studios and film investment.

If this incident affects the company's strategy, it will be a heavy blow to Tang Zong Entertainment.

There is even a risk of internal review and legal proceedings in the future.

Su Yu shook her head slightly and sat down on the sofa.

Her long, straight legs were crossed, her body leaned back, and her thick, fluffy hair swayed slightly.

The subtle blend of sexiness and languor creates a stunningly beautiful scene.

"I'm not afraid of anything now." She raised her delicate face with a smile. "Besides, he said it himself. We're going together."

Mo Xiangwan sighed, sat down next to her, and said softly, "Little Yu, no matter what, you must not say anything about Tang Song in the public media. If you do, it will be too late to undo the damage."

She knew what Director Jin was thinking.

Given Su Yu's influence and popularity, if she were to explicitly state who her lover is...

The immense public pressure would absolutely force Tang Song to come forward and admit it, and Su Yu would naturally become his Official Girlfriend.

This is absolutely a sore spot for Director Jin.

In fact, after Tang Jin refused to let Su Yu's funds enter the Family Office, Su Yu used this as leverage to threaten Director Jin.

This is also the biggest conflict between them.

Su Yu pursed her lips and said softly, "Don't worry, I already know his feelings and I'm very satisfied. Moreover, I will absolutely not do anything to harm him."

"Sigh!" Mo Xiangwan rubbed her forehead. "You'd better get ready, the board meeting should be held soon."

"Hehe, I'm not afraid of her."

"This isn't a matter of being afraid or not. Having control of Tang Zong Entertainment is very important to you, and to some extent, it will also make you more important in Tang Song's eyes. I'll contact Ms. Ouyang later and ask her to talk to Wu Kezhi."

"Ring ring—" The Mobile Phone phone suddenly rang.

Su Yu glanced at the incoming call message, answered it casually, and whispered a few words.

I hung up the phone.

Mo Xiangwan, standing nearby, frowned and asked, "Yanbei Printing Factory? Why would you send someone to contact such a small printing company?"

"It's nothing, just a sudden whim. Maybe it will have a surprising effect in the future?" Su Yu smiled faintly.

Luzhou Jingyuan Residential Complex.

"Mom! I'm going to a branch office on a business trip, not fleeing a famine. Why are you stuffing so much food into my suitcase?" Wen Ruan threw out all the rice dumplings, ham, pickles, and braised meat from her suitcase.

"Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, so you definitely have to bring zongzi. I made these myself, and I put red bean paste and jujubes inside, your favorite fillings. You can also share them with your colleagues later." Qian Guixiang picked up a red plastic bag and stuffed the zongzi inside.

"Alright." Wen Ruan pursed her lips, then asked, "How's things going with my dad?"

Qian Guixiang shook her head. "I don't know. It's probably going to be difficult. The factory leaders are trying to find a solution, but they just don't have the money. I guess we'll still be laid off in the end. Sigh, this round of massive layoffs basically includes everyone in our family. We still haven't found a place to move back to our hometown, and now we've lost our jobs. Who can swallow this?"

Wen Ruan sighed, "It's not easy for anyone."

"Ruan Ruan, are you really going to switch jobs?"

"Yes, I'll submit my resignation as soon as I get back from Imperial Capital."

"Alright then, you explain it to Little Tang properly." Qian Guixiang nodded and didn't say anything more.

The couple were unemployed and their daughter was burdened with a mortgage. With such a great opportunity, she simply couldn't bring herself to object.

Wenruan gave a Wen Ruan "Mmm" and said, "Mom, I should go now."

"Let your family know when you get off the train! Be careful out there, and don't..."

"Okay, Mom! I lived in Imperial Capital for nine years, so stop worrying about me! Bye!"

Wen Ruan waved her hand, picked up her suitcase, and went downstairs.

Looking up at the azure sky, I couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Yes! I stayed there for nine years.

Returning to Xingyun International, I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.
