Be reborn and be happy to the fullest

Lee Seok received a "post-event call" from Han Dae-jik around 10 a.m. the next day, from which he learned that "he had become a South Korean"...

He stood there stunned for a long time, not knowing how to scold Han Dazhi...

"Husband~"

Li Yitong, wearing a bikini, got out of the pool, her slender fingers holding a grape to Li Shuo's lips. Seeing his somewhat dazed look, she leaned closer, rested Li Shuo's head on her ample bosom, and gently massaged his temples...

"call"

Li Shuo let out a heavy sigh of relief and said irritably, "Han Dazhi! You fucking changed my nationality and race!"

"I'm sorry, Brother Li, please calm down. I'm doing this for the company's development. Think about it, you hold a large stake in SN Entertainment. If it doesn't do well, you won't look good either, will you?"

"Furthermore, I swear that I will only tell the truth in front of the media: you are indeed a member of SN Entertainment, but you are not an artist, but our boss! Other things such as race and nationality are purely fabrications by the South Korean media and have nothing to do with me!"

Li Shuo laughed angrily and said, "Don't try to fool me. We're all in the media business, how could we not know about this kind of public opinion manipulation? I don't care, since you started this, you have to help me cover up this lie!"

"Yes, yes, definitely. I'll only ride the wave for one day. Tomorrow morning, I'll immediately have the company issue a statement clarifying your relationship with the company! You are a genuine Chinese citizen and have absolutely no connection with South Korea!"

Upon hearing this, Li Shuo appeared thoughtful, then said, "Who told you to make these statements? I'm telling you to maximize your interests as much as possible!"

"First of all, I can't possibly become a South Korean, but you don't need to clarify that I'm Chinese; you just need to keep quiet about it!"

"Secondly, forge a record of my training at SN Entertainment. It shouldn't take too long, just one or two months..."

"Finally, you can publicize some 'real things,' such as my investments in South Korea, and the fact that I have a South Korean girlfriend. Hmm, let's choose gratitude; she's not famous, so it won't cause any unnecessary sensation..."

Han Dazhi hung up the phone in utter confusion, while Li Yitong, who was beside him, asked in astonishment, "Brother Shuo, don't you hate South Koreans? Why didn't you let him clarify the rumors directly?"

Li Shuo stretched his arm behind him, and Li Yitong naturally slumped to one side into his arms, adjusting her position to make it easier for him to wreak havoc...

"I neither dislike nor like foreign countries. I am Chinese, why would I need those people to help me spread and clarify rumors?"

"However, since things have already started to brew, and South Koreans seem to enjoy these rumors, let them entertain themselves. Moreover, this trend is also beneficial to the development of the Shuoguo Group in South Korea. As long as the media doesn't issue large-scale denials, ordinary South Koreans can think whatever they want. The closer they are to Shuoguo, the more they will naturally support the 'national enterprise'!"

Li Yitong was a little out of breath from his words, her big, watery eyes fixed on him: "Oh~ I see, you don't like South Koreans, but you like South Korean money..."

"Pah! Who doesn't like money? It's just that while I may like money, I wouldn't joke about my ethnic identity!"

Li Shuo fiercely "explained": "You vixen, how dare you fabricate your husband's good intentions, you deserve to be beaten!"

As he spoke, he flipped the girl over from front to back, aimed at her pert buttocks, and slapped them a few times...

Then, instead of crying out in pain, Li Yitong made some inappropriate sounds, and gradually, the "beating" turned into "rubbing"...

Lee Seok spent the first day after the China-Korea Song Concert in such comfortable enjoyment, while outside, the situation was changing rapidly, with all sorts of gossip and news emerging one after another.

It started as an annual online battle between Chinese and Korean singers. Later, the matter spread to South Korea, sparking a heated discussion about whether Lee Gu-rim was a South Korean. In China, many people were indignant and posted messages saying, "He's trespassing again, this time it's Lee Gu-rim!"
As the controversy escalated, many people who were previously unaware of the matter began asking, "Who is Li Jiulin?"

"Sony International's newly signed S-level artist! Even higher level than those trashy Korean groups!"

"The invincible male protagonist of 'The Invisible Guardian'!"

"Rumors suggest he's an extremely wealthy second-generation heir, possibly the owner of an entertainment company!"

The answers to the questions were varied, and with so many accolades attached to "Li Jiulin," even more people began to investigate him!

This led Shuoguo Culture to launch a second wave of public relations efforts. This time, they simply separated "Li Shuo" and "Li Jiulin" and registered verified accounts for "Li Jiulin X" on various platforms. The verified content was very clean, with only the section for "Sony Entertainment contracted writer".

Despite this, after a day of frenzied hype, "Li Jiulin X's" Weibo followers miraculously surpassed 100 million! It's worth noting that Bailu's account, managed with the help of Shuoguo Culture, has only managed to reach a million followers after a year of ups and downs! Meanwhile, women like Feng Linlin, who rose to fame through Shuoguo Internet's platform Xiutu.com, only have a few hundred thousand followers due to a lack of recent updates.

This is just the commotion among the general public in the entertainment industry. Among professionals such as companies and artists, Li Shuo's popularity has exploded this time!
First, everyone knows that Li Shuo, despite the pressure from Zhou Huanian, managed to promote three actresses: "Li Yitong," "Jin Chen," and "Chopstick Brothers"! And each of them delivered outstanding performances to varying degrees!
Secondly, following the China-Korea Song Festival, Qianyu Times released a lossless version of "Little Apple" online. Within just 30 minutes of its release, the song topped the charts on major music platforms, achieving unprecedented popularity! Even the following day, shops in major cities began playing "Little Apple" on their commercial streets, and that very evening, it became a popular song for square dancing! Its "evolution" was nothing short of phenomenal!
The composer and lyricist are both "Li Jiulin", and in the recording of the Huahan Song Festival, the names "Choreographer: X, Jin Chen, Fei Seqi" were specially marked!
Third, the fame of the real name "Li Shuo" has expanded further. If only the higher-ups in the entertainment industry knew this name before, now anyone in the industry is familiar with "Li Shuo" because he has too many labels: top-notch wealth, top-notch talent, and even his height and appearance are "top-notch handsome"!
As a result, Li Shuo and Li Yitong received many phone calls while enjoying themselves at the swimming pool. They could ignore some of the calls from people they weren't very familiar with, but Li Shuo naturally couldn't ignore the greetings from big shots like Jin Lao, Cao Jie, and even Liu Wenchuan.

Of course, the bigwig contacted Li Shuo simply because he knew Li Shuo had accomplished something significant and wanted to offer his congratulations; it wouldn't disrupt Li Shuo's normal life. However, some others directly extended invitations to Li Shuo. Chen Guanwei said to him on the phone, "I don't care, you absolutely must set aside half a day tomorrow to give a speech at the Beijing Film Studio, as a way of repaying the favor I did for you this time. How about it? Li Shuo, it's okay if you don't agree, I'll talk to Shao Yiying!"

What else could Li Shuo do? He could only grit his teeth and accept it, but he insisted on scheduling his speech at the Beijing Film Academy according to his own wishes!

And then there's Reba, who called with a very resentful tone, whining: "Why didn't you take me to the China-Korea Song Festival? Humph, I knew it, Lan Ying'er is more important to you!"

After much persuasion, Li Shuo finally promised to bring Reba back to Lenghai with him, which appeased the girl.

The other women from the cold sea area made even more calls, but most of them were turned away by the secretary's office, with the excuse that Li Shuo was very busy with many things to do that day!

Other girls Li Shuo cherished, such as Lu Ailin and Bai Lu, would call his current phone number directly. Although Li Shuo found it a bit annoying, his voice would immediately become sweet and soft whenever he received their calls...

Li Yitong, who was by his side, was initially quite pleased with herself, thinking that while others could only make phone calls, she was the only one who could accompany the man. However, this joy eventually faded away with the passage of time.

Finally, during lunch, Li Shuo answered the phone again, and the first thing he said was, "Ying'er, my darling."

"Bang! I'm full!" Li Yitong slammed down her chopsticks and stood up angrily!
Of course, she didn't move, the unspoken message being: Hang up the phone and coax me!

Li Shuo raised an eyebrow, glanced at her, and then continued speaking softly to Lan Ying'er on the other end of the phone: "My darling did a great job. I'll come to see you tonight. Um, what would you like to eat? Have Wei Shuting make a reservation at a restaurant..."

He had promised Lan Ying'er that he would be with her the next day, and naturally he would not break his promise.

After chatting for a while, Li Shuo hung up the phone, and almost at the same time, Li Yitong turned around and left!
"stop!"

Li Yitong stopped again.

"What's all this fuss about! Weren't you just feeling pretty happy? Out of all those women, only you were by my side!"

"But... I didn't expect there to be so many..."

Li Yitong felt extremely wronged after being scolded by Li Shuo, and tears streamed down her face. Before being with Li Shuo, she really thought that Li Shuo only had Lan Ying'er as his girlfriend, and that he had an ambiguous relationship with Jin Chen! Well, at most, he might have one or two girlfriends in Leng Hai!

But in just half a day, how many phone calls have he made? And for most of them, Li Shuo was using sweet talk. What's even more outrageous is that he spoke not only Chinese but also Korean—three different languages ​​in total! And even more outrageous is that one of the recipients spoke Japanese!

The three Korean words naturally belonged to Jessica Jung and her two friends from the show "Beautiful Legs Era." They had helped cover up Lan Ying'er's affair yesterday, so Li Shuo naturally wouldn't refuse to answer the phone...

As for the Japanese language, it's naturally Junko Iwasaki. "X" was able to get a special S-level agreement with Sony, and Junko Iwasaki's influence played a big role. Moreover, in Li Shuo's mind, she is a gentle, wealthy, and beautiful Japanese woman, and even has a bit of a wife-like feeling. Don't think that there's anything between her and Li Shuo yet. If Li Shuo were to choose between Junko Iwasaki and Li Yitong now, who knows who he would choose!
Despite this, Li Shuo kept a stern face and ordered in a deep voice, "Sit down and finish your lunch!"

Intimidated by his imposing manner, Li Yitong reluctantly sat down again, pursed her lips, and continued eating slowly and politely...

After spending more time together, the two got to know each other better. In particular, Li Shuo figured out Li Yitong's personality. The "future idol" halo was gone. In his eyes, Li Yitong had completely become "a beautiful campus belle who is still popular on campus." She was naturally smarter than the average female college student, but she lacked social experience and inevitably had the delicacy of a girl. Occasionally, she couldn't distinguish between the "kings" and the "princesses."

So Li Shuo intended to take this opportunity to temper Li Yitong's arrogance. After finishing lunch, he put down his chopsticks, stood up, and said, "I'll take you to the company this afternoon to sign some business contracts, and then I'll take you back to school tonight."

"Huh? Didn't you say you'd take on Shangguang later?" Li Yitong asked weakly. In bed, Li Shuo had promised her many things, including a house in Beijing.

"Things are different now. You were the first to perform at the China-Korea Song Festival, and your makeup and styling were eye-catching. You gained many new fans online. Shuoguo Culture opened accounts for you on social media platforms such as Weibo as soon as possible, and you have now accumulated 100,000 followers. Gaining 100,000 followers a day is already a very impressive star-level influence. Therefore, many companies and advertisers have offered you very good prices..."

Li Shuo spoke plainly, but to Li Yitong, it sounded as if he had turned her into a "commodity waiting to be sold," which made her feel even more depressed, and she only weakly said "Oh."

At 1:30 p.m., still in a Lamborghini, Li Shuo suggested that Li Yitong drive herself, and the two headed straight for the Beijing headquarters of Shuoguo Culture.

"Welcome, Boss"

Today, Shuoguo Culture looks quite different from the outside. Not only did two beautiful female managers, Wei Shuting and Lan Ying'er, come downstairs to greet them, but they were also followed by at least five advertising agents in suits!
Wei Shuting opened the car door for Li Shuo and introduced him, "This is General Manager Zhou from Weiqi Advertising, and this is General Manager Bai from Forest Beverages..."

Theoretically speaking, these are the clients who are paying the money, and Shuoguo Culture, as the service provider, should adopt a humble attitude. However, Shuoguo Culture, which is currently in the eye of the storm, naturally does not need to bow and scrape. Li Shuo simply smiled and nodded to these people, only briefly noting the image of the General Manager Bai when he heard "Forest Beverage".

When he was short of money last year, he thought of two high-quality companies that went public in 2010: Beijing Cultural & Creative and Forest Beverage. Now, the former has brought Li Shuo a lot of profits, while the latter's listing date was later, in April 2011. Although the original shares of Forest Beverage have been snapped up, there is still a possibility of manipulation after the listing. After all, Li Shuo knows some of the stock price trends of Forest Beverage...

As they were exchanging pleasantries, Li Yitong got out of the cockpit and walked to Li Shuo's side like a wronged little wife, lagging behind by half a step and weakly grabbing his arm... (End of this chapter)
