Chapter 324 High-Ranking Business Tycoon (Gong) VS Beautiful, Clueless, and Clear-Headed (Shou) [100
After the advertisement was filmed, in early May, the 'TREASURE' advertising campaign featuring Jiang Xiyu began its global rollout.
During that period, 'TREASURE' occupied almost all the large screens in Shanghai, giving Jiang Xiyu, the spokesperson, the most prestigious treatment.
This high-end jewelry advertisement was a huge success, a perfect blend of luxury and beauty. It not only showcased the timeless beauty of fine jewelry but also the glamorous charm of the overseas filming location. In particular, the advertisement generated an additional benefit, boosting local tourism revenue by tens of billions of dollars.
In mid-June of the same year, the historical drama "Nine Palaces" starring Jiang Xiyu and Ning Qing, featuring two male leads, was broadcast. Due to Jiang Xiyu's previous scandals, the drama was not promoted, but it frequently topped the trending searches after its broadcast, and its popularity even surpassed that of Jiang Xiyu's previous drama "Green Mountain Jade Broken".
Jiang Xiyu and Ning Qing frequently topped the trending searches, and Ning Qing's status soared overnight. The other supporting actors also sparked a huge online discussion, with countless characters and famous lines going viral. Not long after its premiere, it became Jiang Xiyu's second true hit drama, and even showed a trend of surpassing "Qingshan Yusui".
After "Nine Palaces" finished airing, the long tail effect was unprecedented, not only winning numerous honors, but also achieving unparalleled viewership.
The lead actors complemented each other and generously promoted each other's work.
So that year belonged to the group portrait, and also to Jiang Xiyu and Ning Qing.
Jiang Xiyu made a strong comeback with "Nine Palaces", attracting attention on various award stages and achieving unprecedented popularity, ranking first by a wide margin.
That face, as beautiful as a goddess descending, once again caused a sensation in the country, so much so that in every street and alley, one could see the young man's beautiful face simply by looking up.
Faced with such explosive popularity, Jiang Xiyu also felt a little uneasy.
But when she put him on the path to fame and glory, Shen Jingtan simply told him, "Go and walk the path you are meant to walk. Don't be afraid of making mistakes. If you do, I'll be there for you."
"But I believe my darling will do a good job."
With Shen Jingtan's encouragement, Jiang Xiyu walked this path with great confidence.
Shen Jingtan never missed a single event involving Jiang Xiyu. He would always stand silently in the audience, gazing tenderly at Jiang Xiyu, watching his dazzling brilliance.
Jiang Xiyu was no longer afraid of setbacks, because he knew that as soon as he turned around, Shen Jingtan would greet him with the warmest embrace.
His greatest courage came from the gaze of his beloved.
With such courage, Jiang Xiyu soared high.
For 'TREASURE's' anniversary event, Jiang Xiyu, as the global ambassador, flew abroad to attend the gala dinner, while Shen Jingtan, 'TREASURE's' largest client, was also invited to attend.
At the banquet, Jiang Xiyu made a grand entrance as the last person to appear. This time, he wore a black suit, exuding a magnificent and noble aura. He was the most dazzling presence in the crowd. When he was invited to the stage along with the ambassadors from other countries, his androgynous and beautiful face became the focus of all the lights and cameras.
In the blinding flash of the camera, as the light dimmed, it was as if all sound had vanished from Jiang Xiyu's ears; he could hear neither applause nor cheers.
After passing through blinding white and serene black, only one person remained in my pupils.
In the spotlight, they looked at each other and finally stood in the same place.
After the photo session, it's time for social interaction and networking.
When faced with solemn occasions and a group of high-profile people at the head table, many celebrities will subconsciously show their timidity, either becoming timid and hesitant or eager to show off.
Jiang Xiyu does not.
He had a perfect sense of propriety. Facing a group of bigwigs attending the banquet, he neither fawned nor showed any fear, but spoke eloquently and calmly.
In fact, the reason he speaks with such substance is because Shen Jingtan patiently taught him little by little.
On many sunny afternoons, Jiang Xiyu would spend time with Shen Jingtan.
Shen Jingtan loved reading, and Jiang Xiyu nestled in his arms, influenced by his surroundings.
From initially asking questions to later proactively offering his own insights, this all demonstrates his growth.
The bigwigs didn't see his growth; they only saw such an outstanding person, and they all cast admiring glances at him.
Shen Jingtan sat gracefully in the main seat, resting her chin on her hand as she quietly watched Jiang Xiyu offer his toast with neither arrogance nor servility.
In his calm eyes, when he looked up, there was admiration; when he looked down, there was undisguised love.
The people around him praised Jiang Xiyu.
Shen Jingtan's eyes darkened, and she surprisingly showed her first smile at the banquet that evening.
He took the initiative to pick up his glass and toast the man, speaking a sentence in English with a rich, deep voice and an extremely standard foreign language accent.
The man was completely flattered that Shen Jingtan would offer him a toast.
He quickly raised his glass in return, his gaze cautiously fixed on Shen Jingtan.
However, after noticing the unusually gentle gaze Shen Jingtan gave Jiang Xiyu, his eyes subtly shifted between Jiang Xiyu and him.
Their postures when serving drinks were exactly the same, and even their pronunciations when speaking foreign languages were remarkably similar.
The boss felt he had drunk too much, and he couldn't help but ask Shen Jingtan if she knew Jiang Xiyu.
Shen Jingtan gave a noncommittal smile and did not answer him.
The big boss then took the initiative to invite Jiang Xiyu over to toast Shen Jingtan.
Jiang Xiyu brought over the wine, and for a moment, when their eyes met, Jiang Xiyu felt for no reason that the scene was the same as their first meeting two years ago.
That day, he was just a newcomer to the industry and not qualified to meet someone like Shen Jingtan. Now, he can not only stand in front of Shen Jingtan, but also have such a noble and elegant person in his private life.
Jiang Xiyu stood politely beside him and poured him a glass of wine.
After tasting his wine, Shen Jingtan showed no intention of letting him leave. Seeing this, the big shot next to her offered him his seat.
In this setting, Jiang Xiyu openly sat down next to him.
Shen Jingtan poured him a drink himself, and when they clinked glasses, his glass was lower than Jiang Xiyu's, when no one was watching.
As the banquet drew to a close, Shen Jingtan went to the car to wait for him.
Executives from other high-end luxury brands came upon hearing the news, and some brands were even willing to spend hundreds of millions to invite Jiang Xiyu to become their first spokesperson.
In a foreign land, amidst the world-class social scene of fame and fortune, Jiang Xiyu's commercial value reached its peak.
After finishing her social engagements, Jiang Xiyu couldn't wait to find Shen Jingtan.
Perhaps because he had been drinking, he saw a man in a suit standing not far away.
The man was also looking at him, but when he saw Jiang Xiyu looking over, he turned and left.
Jiang Xiyu thought that she had kept Shen Jingtan waiting for a long time, so she smiled and followed her.
But then, at the corner, someone grabbed his arm.
Before Jiang Xiyu could even turn around, she could already smell the familiar ebony scent on the man.
He turned around and chuckled softly, his eyes glistening with a sweet, innocent look.
Jiang Xiyu joked, "I thought you were going to play hide-and-seek with me."
Shen Jingtan had been waiting for him for a long time, so she came over in person.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived, I saw Jiang Xiyu chasing after another man.
Thinking of that person, Shen Jingtan never expected him to appear here.
However, he knew that his lover was face-blind, so he just helplessly hooked Jiang Xiyu's nose and, taking advantage of the few people around, simply led him away.
Jiang Xiyu's useless professional skills actually came into play when he was half-drunk.
He didn't want Shen Jingtan to hold his hand; he was afraid others would see.
Shen Jingtan never knew how to handle him, so she could only coax and trick him into getting into the car.
After getting in the car, Jiang Xiyu threw a tantrum. He felt that Shen Jingtan shouldn't have brought him out like this, in case someone else saw them.
Shen Jingtan wanted to lift him onto her lap.
Jiang Xiyu refused.
He knew that once he sat on Shen Jingtan's lap, he wouldn't be able to get off.
Especially since he would sit for a long time each time, no matter how much he cried or begged, the old man wouldn't listen to him.
Jiang Xiyu shrank into the corner of the car.
Shen Jingtan tried her best to persuade him, but in the end, she could only sigh helplessly.
Then, through the car window, the man's expression changed from cold and indifferent. He forcefully pulled the person into his arms and gave a barely perceptible sneer: "You're so hard to please, can't I even give you a kiss? Baby."
Jiang Xiyu became very well-behaved as soon as she sat on his lap.
He tilted his head and looked at Shen Jingtan for a long time, then nodded very seriously and blushed, saying softly, "Sure."
As soon as he finished speaking, he took the initiative to wrap his arms around Shen Jingtan's neck and kissed her skillfully.
Shen Jingtan held him in her arms and kissed him tenderly, as if she wanted to express all her love.
However, his love is never enough; he only wants to show it through actions.
Jiang Xiyu felt a lot of love, burning love, ardent love, gentle and long-lasting love that penetrated to the bone.
It turns out there really is a moment when you're so happy you want to cry.
……
A few years later, when Jiang Xiyu's career reached its peak, a magazine invited him to do a profile interview.
That magazine, as the earliest and most authoritative biographical publication in China, has always only interviewed people who have significant influence in the present day.
Aside from one senior figure in the entertainment industry who has appeared on the show, only Jiang Xiyu has done so.
In the interview, the host discussed Jiang Xiyu's views on the online bullying and scandals that occurred a few years ago.
Jiang Xiyu simply laughed off the hurt she had suffered in the past.
When the host asked him what his biggest achievement was over the past two years,
He firmly answered that his greatest gain was happiness.
After saying those two words, the happiness that was so obvious seemed to overflow from Jiang Xiyu's eyes in the footage.
The host asked him many questions about his career, family, and personal life. In fact, many questions in a personal interview can easily trap you, but Jiang Xiyu's answers were so rigorous that there was not a single mistake.
Fans may not know what Jiang Xiyu has gone through in the past few years, but they can clearly feel the changes in him.
This big star, who speaks eloquently on camera, possesses a gentle humility, composure, and resilience that belies his twenties.
The host also sensed this and asked Jiang Xiyu, "What has caused such a big change in you?"
Jiang Xiyu smiled slightly and said, "Because I have a very good teacher."
"He told me not to be afraid of taking the wrong path, so I was able to keep moving forward with determination."
You may encounter all sorts of hardships in life, but fortune and misfortune are intertwined, and sometimes adversity can also shape you.
The host then asked him about his aspirations for the future.
Jiang Xiyu only hopes that she can make her family proud.
The host was somewhat surprised, but after a moment of surprise, he smiled and said, "Your achievements should already be a source of pride for your family."
Jiang Xiyu smiled faintly for a moment, looking at the camera with gentle yet firm eyes, a smile that only she and her lover could understand, and said softly, "I hope I can be my teacher's pride."
The host said that he was so outstanding that his teacher must be proud of him, and then jokingly added that Jiang Xiyu had a very good teacher.
Jiang Xiyu smiled at the camera with her eyes crinkling, and said gently, "Yes, I have a very good teacher."
"I have learned a lot from him over the years."
The host asked him what he had learned.
Jiang Xiyu said she has learned to love herself and others.
While watching that interview backstage, Shen Jingtan's eyes seemed to suddenly sparkle with a few glimmers of light.
In the shards of light, there is satisfaction, appreciation, and a shared sense of happiness.
It never mentions Shen Jingtan at all, yet every word it utters is imbued with her presence.
Shen Jingtan also looked at Jiang Xiyu in the interview and seemed to smile.
It must be admitted that Jiang Xiyu is his proudest work, and also his best and most beloved lover.
