Chapter 457 Becoming famous overnight
Chapter 457 Becoming famous overnight
Good heavens, she hadn't heard anything about it. Faced with so many flashing lights and a crowd of people, Yan Zuozuo didn't know what to say for a moment.
Just then, a voice, though not angry, rang out, "Everyone, please make way."
With just a simple sentence, the crowd of reporters quieted down and unconsciously made way for the newcomer. This aura was absolutely overwhelming.
Chi Moqing walked towards Yan Zuozuo, put his arm around her, and then turned to the reporters. "My wife is currently pregnant with Yun, and I hope you will understand. As for Ms. Chu Xinyuan's situation, we only just learned about it and are deeply sorry. But in any case, it is a personal choice and has nothing to do with others." After saying that, he led Yan Zuozuo out of the circle of reporters.
While everyone was still busy taking photos and recording audio, Chi Moqing had already gotten into the car with Yan Zuozuo. His kingly aura was like that of a god that people worshipped, and no one dared to utter a word of rebuttal.
In the car, Yan Zuozuo leaned against Chi Moqing's chest and let out a long sigh, "Husband, if it weren't for you just now, I wouldn't know what to say."
Chi Moqing gently stroked her long hair, his lips full of doting affection.
"Honey, did Miss Chu really attempt suicide and end up in the hospital?"
Chi Moqing raised an eyebrow: "Truth and falsehood intertwined."
So it could also be an act, perhaps to win back the prince? She frowned, not quite understanding.
Chi Moqing pinched her cheek: "It has nothing to do with you, don't worry about her."
"Oh." But why did she still feel uneasy?
Chi Moqing held her close, still with that doting expression, but a sharp glint flashed in his eyes. Regarding the design, regardless of whether Snowden pressured someone in power, it was clear he hadn't protected Chu Xinyuan.
Chu Xinyuan is currently experiencing setbacks in both her career and love life, so she is naturally unwilling to accept it. It is likely that this move, besides forcing the prince to try to win back his affections, also aims to coerce someone in a position of power.
Whether that person will actually make a move is another matter entirely.
Along the way, Ding Le and Fox watched the loving couple, especially Chi Moqing's gentle demeanor, and their jaws nearly dropped. Was this still the ruthless and cold-blooded commander they knew? How could he have changed so completely?
The fox pinched itself hard, and it hurt quite a bit; it didn't seem like a dream.
Back home, Yan Zuozuo eagerly turned on the TV and, sure enough, saw news reports about Chu Xinyuan's suicide attempt and hospitalization. She became even more certain that this was all an act. Otherwise, given Chu Xinyuan's status, these media outlets wouldn't dare to write such things, even if they had a hundred lives.
What was her reason for doing that?
Chi Moqing urged her to take a shower so they could eat later. Yan Zuozuo entered the bathroom with questions in her mind, becoming even more confused.
During dinner, Chi Moqing asked Yan Zuozuo, "Wife, what do you think of the fox?"
Yan Zuozuo was stunned for a moment, and the image of him fighting with Ding Le flashed through his mind. He couldn't help but lick his lips and say, "Very impressive."
That's just too amazing.
"Hmm?" Chi Moqing looked at Yan Zuozuo curiously. "Did something happen?"
"No, let's eat, honey." Since the punishment has already been given, there's no need to say anything more.
Chi Moqing knew that his wife's evasive words were more than just words.
"What does Teacher Qimi think of this Miss Yan?" The host's voice suddenly came from the TV, startling Yan Zuozuo. Was he talking about her?
Wow, it's true! And the commentator I interviewed is an internationally renowned veteran commentator, especially highly respected in China. Every program he appears on gets exceptionally high ratings.
Yan Zuozuo's eyes widened; to be honest, she was a little nervous.
"Speaking of this Ms. Yan, I've been following her for a while now. I've found her to be a very low-key woman, and also quite intelligent. What's funny is that it's precisely this low-key woman who has managed to make her name known to many people across the country and even abroad."
The host, looking surprised, interjected, "Let me give you some background information about this Ms. Yan. Ms. Yan, whose real name is Yan Zuozuo, is in charge of the domestic branch of the German Xuecan Charity Organization, and is also the largest shareholder and director of Fan Hua Design. Her husband, Chi Moqing, is the founder of the multinational Chi Group, and a very powerful figure. However, there are rumors that Mr. Chi Moqing has already given all his shares to this Ms. Yan... oh, sorry, it should be Mrs. Chi. It can be said that this Mrs. Chi is an incredibly wealthy woman with immeasurable status."
The host introduced Yan Zuozuo in a vivid and exaggerated manner, leaving Yan Zuozuo dumbfounded. If the host hadn't introduced her like that, she wouldn't have known that she was so amazing.
"Honey, isn't this a bit too much?" she blinked.
Chi Moqing ladled a bowl of soup for her and placed it in front of her: "People can say whatever they want, let them talk."
“But this way, a lot of people will definitely recognize me.” Yan Zuozuo was very distressed. She couldn’t enjoy being a celebrity at all. She just wanted to live a simple life with her husband and children.
Chi Moqing smiled faintly: "Wife, these things will be discovered sooner or later, just take it easy."
Previously, most of the news was negative about his wife, which severely damaged her reputation. Coupled with Chu Xinyuan's suicide attempt, it's bound to implicate his wife as well. However, if there's a program that can clear his wife's name, then Chu Xinyuan's situation won't have a significant impact on her. Speaking of which, he actually felt quite happy hearing others praise his wife.
The veteran commentator continued: "Speaking of this Ms. Yan, I apologize, but I'm used to referring to a successful person as such. There's been a lot of gossip and rumors circulating online about her, mostly based on hearsay, which has certainly caused her considerable distress and loss of weight..."
Next, veteran commentator Mr. Qimi gave a systematic summary of the grievances Yan Zuozuo has suffered over the years. He recounted them in great detail and vividly described them, making him a modern-day tragic Cinderella, which brought many people to tears.
"For such a successful woman, even when attacked by the entire nation, she never responded once, silently enduring it all. Such resilience and courage are truly worthy of respect! As the saying goes, no rainbow appears without rain, and it is precisely through so many years of trials and tribulations that Ms. Yan Zuozuo has become who she is today. Faced with adversity, she did not fall, but persevered tenaciously. This is what makes her different from ordinary people like us; she is a truly great woman."
Thunderous applause erupted, and Yan Zuozuo was almost promoted as a one-of-a-kind strong woman.
Staring at the impassioned speech on television, she couldn't help but twitch her lips. This veteran commentator knew her far too well. She could even bring up things she had almost forgotten from a few years ago.
"Ahem!" she coughed lightly. "Honey, how about we change the channel?" she said, quickly switching to the next channel.
"She is indeed a remarkable woman; otherwise, so many successful people wouldn't be supporting her..."
Yan Zuozuo felt sad; at this time of year, when entertainment news was being broadcast, it seemed everyone was talking about her. More importantly, even the economics channel had gotten involved.
When did she become so powerful that she could shake up the national economy? Is this some kind of compliment?
"Honey, even if you break the remote, it won't change the fact that you're the star of tonight. Sweetie, keep watching," Chi Moqing reminded her in a great mood.
Yan Zuozuo glared at him: "Aren't you afraid that I'll become famous overnight and then a whole bunch of young heartthrobs will come looking for me?"
Chi Moqing chuckled softly and reached out to take her hand. "Then will you go with them?"
"Of course not!" she said firmly. In this lifetime, neither she nor Chi Moqing would ever be separated.
"Then what do I have to worry about?" Chi Moqing smiled contentedly and let out a long sigh of relief. "Marrying a wife means I can skip twenty years of hard work. It feels so good to be a gigolo."
"..." Yan Zuozuo's lips twitched.
She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but for some reason, these conversations felt like they were all staged, with everyone praising her. They were broadcast almost simultaneously, clearly intended to brainwash the entire nation.
She has so many enemies; it would be good enough if they didn't use Chu Xinyuan's matter to kill her, yet they're going to praise her in a roundabout way. Could it be...?
When Chi Moqing came out of the kitchen after washing the dishes, he saw Yan Zuozuo looking him up and down. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "What do you mean?"
Yan Zuozuo immediately glared at him righteously: "Honey, tell me the truth, you didn't do this on purpose, did you?"
"Is there evidence?"
Yan Zuozuo choked, her cheeks puffed out, "Don't try to fool me, it was you, it must have been you who arranged it."
She figured that her husband was so wise and capable that he must have guessed that someone with ulterior motives would take advantage of Chu Xinyuan's situation to stir up trouble, so he made this arrangement before things fully erupted.
She now appears before everyone with a radiant image of spreading positive energy, and given Chu Xinyuan's past record of doing bad things, even if someone wants to stir up trouble, they won't be able to cause much of a stir.
Chi Moqing neither admitted nor denied it, but sat down next to Yan Zuozuo, embracing his little rich woman, looking very comfortable.
Since Yan Zuozuo became famous overnight, many people have called her, mostly flattering people who want to curry favor and climb the social ladder, but Cai Keren has turned them all down.
Yan Zuozuo glanced at the speechless Cai Keren and felt a sense of helplessness. In just one night, she had seen through the coldness and warmth of human relationships.
The area outside Fan Hua Design was almost completely surrounded by reporters, and Yan Zuozuo could only sneak in and out through the back door now. It was really hard for her to keep up with this situation.
Ding Le and Fox were still frowning as they looked at the documents. They shared a common hobby: drinking fruit juice. Yan Zuozuo originally liked coffee, but considering the baby in her belly, she switched to drinking fruit juice as well.
"Director!" Ding Le suddenly shouted upon smelling the aroma of the juice, "I want some too!"
Yan Zuozuo smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've got you covered."
The fox looked at her with its large, misty eyes: "Director, it's mine."
Yan Zuozuo found it funny; these two really made one wonder if they had mixed up their genders. Ding Le was a tomboy, outspoken and full of masculine energy; on the other hand, Fox had a more nerdy, refined air about him.
Of course, these conclusions do not include the scenario where the two people physically fight.
That was absolutely a fight between assassins, with no distinction between genders.
