Be reborn and be happy to the fullest

If "The Temptation of Returning Home" had been released one day earlier, it would have been able to reap the current booming traffic earlier!

Nowadays, the traffic of this drama alone on the Internet is already very high, but even higher is X’s new song "Unforgivable" and singer Wei Ni.

However, the popularity of "Unforgiven" and Wei Ni is far less than that of "South Korea's No. 1 beauty who landed in Lenghai - Qiu Xiuyan"!
Shuoguo Culture’s hype about “South Korean beauties” can be said to have achieved a success that even the company couldn’t imagine. In just two days, Qiu Xiuyan’s various beautiful pictures were circulated countless times, and all the websites, big and small, were filled with Qiu Xiuyan’s beautiful pictures!

Well, it’s worth mentioning that the beautiful photos here are no longer just hydrological photos produced by Penguin Entertainment, but real portraits!

On the second day after Qiu Cixian came to Lenghai, Han Enqing took them to buy Chanel, and then took the four South Korean girls to the Shuoguo Hongqiao headquarters. In the studio on the first floor, they asked the photographer from Xiutu.com to take a lot of photos!
Then the post-production staff of Showtu.com worked overtime that day to produce all the beautiful pictures of the four South Korean beauties, which led to the emergence of the “No. 1 Beauty in South Korea” that went viral on the Internet!
Facts have once again proved that anyone who is given the title of "the most beautiful woman" usually has magical powers.

Of course, this is also because Qiu Cixian herself has a solid foundation, and ordinary people in China, who have only lived for 11 years, have not yet truly opened their eyes to the colorful world outside...

Regardless of the reason, Qiu Xiuxian not only became popular, but was also dubbed the "No. 1 Beauty in South Korea" in China!

From the time she got off the plane to the time she officially entered the public eye, in just two days, the number of followers of the Weibo account operated by SN Entertainment for her exceeded one million, and was soon heading towards two million. The special area opened for her on Showitu.com also had more than 200 followers, and even 30 subscribers and 3000 VIP subscriptions.

Well, this is a new paid feature of Xiutu.com. You must pay 1 yuan per month to subscribe, and you must pay 10 yuan per month to become a VIP. This data actually proves Qiu Cixian's ability to make money from the side!
This explosive data naturally attracted great attention from Shuoguo and other related parties. On April 4, the third day after Qiu Cixian came to China, the official Weibo of "Homecoming" announced that the series will premiere online on Penguin Video at 19 pm on the 20th. Later, Penguin Video announced that at 10 pm tonight in the prime time, the "Homecoming" crew will be specially invited to the Penguin Video live broadcast room to hold the online premiere ceremony of "The Temptation of Returning Home"!
"Amazing! It's really a simultaneous online and offline launch!"

"And it was actually released simultaneously on Penguin Video. Awesome! They're using the best platforms!"

"Looking at it now, the crew of 'Homecoming' is quite something. It's been generating a lot of buzz from the very beginning. Even now, the entire internet is talking about it..."

Although the drama has not been released yet, it has already become popular. This is the charm of hype. Even some people who paid attention to this matter in the early days and stood on the sides of X, Han Er, Wei Ni, etc. have now become the first wave of fans of the drama. When talking about "Return Home", there is a hint of pride between the lines.

On the other hand, Zhang Yi's fans, who had been finding fault with X from the beginning, and later, under Zhang Yi's wave after wave of emotional hype, had already regarded X's side as the enemy. So, they almost found fault with the official announcement of "Homecoming":

"Haha, you said Mango TV was the first to release it, and now you're saying Penguin Video is the first to release it online. You guys have way too many first releases!"

"It's just an online premiere, you're saying it's Penguin Video that invited you..."

This group of people started to pick fights immediately:

"The official announcement said that the offline Mango TV show will be released at 10 pm, and the online Penguin Video show will be released at pm. So, isn't this the Mango TV premiere and the Penguin Video online premiere?"

"Of course Penguin Video has to invite South Korea's most beautiful woman. Otherwise, would they invite Zhang Yi, that donkey-faced girl?"

In short, on the Internet, the louder and noisier the news is, the faster it spreads...

……

While the online quarrel was going on lively, everything offline was proceeding in an orderly manner. After Li Shuo met Han Er and Guo Laosi that day, he gradually handed over the matters to the people below him. He first spent a day with Yang Xiaomi at Shuoguo Manor - although he knew that Xu Ji and Qiu Cixian were coming, these two beauties were not in the plan, and Li Shuo would not change his schedule for them.

Yang Xiaomi couldn't handle this. All her desires had been satisfied in various ways over the past few days!

It was fine before, Li Shuo wouldn't be at the manor all day, so she still had time to rest. But when Li Shuo spent the whole day with her, Yang Xiaomi immediately realized how "terrible" her man was. The key point was that today, the Shuoguo faction was fully promoting the "Temptation of Returning Home" project, and even Xu Xiaosa had returned to work at the Cold Art Association. There was no one to share the pressure with her...

"I also want to support your project..." After dinner, Yang Xiaomi tidied up and said seriously.

Li Shuo smiled and said, "You are different from others. Your goal is too big, and you can't promote your project offline..."

Yang Xiaomi said: "I have already reposted the activity of the official Weibo account of "Homecoming" on Weibo..."

"So, what are you going to do now?"

"Hey, Brother Shuo! Don't ask me anymore. I just want to give you some private space..."

Blah blah, Yang Xiaomi said a lot, but the main idea was one sentence: there is no way they would stay in the manor tonight, it was too "terrible"!

Li Shuo couldn't help but laugh at this. He had many fish to feed, so he naturally wouldn't force Yang Xiaomi to stay. He just asked her to be careful and not to make any mistakes before the release of "Palace", and then let her go...

"Boss, President Xu Ji has been waiting for you for a whole day, and Han Enqing seems unable to control her!" Seeing that Li Shuo was free, Zhang Yuyan reported softly, with some reminder in her voice.

"Tsk, then let her come over. Also, let Qiu Cixian go with her..." Li Shuo ordered casually.

"Ms. Qiu Cixian is busy with the early promotion of the project. It seems that she has confirmed that she will go to Penguin Video to record a program tomorrow..."

Li Shuo raised an eyebrow, his face showing displeasure. Without waiting for him to speak, Zhang Yuyan immediately nodded and said, "I understand. I'll ask Qiu Cixian to make time..."

Everyone in the secretarial office knows that the most important "task" is to serve the boss well. Things like "the pre-release publicity for the company's first TV series" might be a huge deal in an ordinary company, but at Shuoguo Culture, the boss is always the biggest boss! ...

"Li Shuo finally has time!"

Xu Ji was delighted to receive the news and immediately rushed to leave, but was stopped by Yuan Ke who came to inform her. Yuan Ke was not Han Enqing, and he would not give Xu Ji face. He just said coldly: "Ms. Xu, Qiu Cixian is the woman who came to China with you. You should know her, right?"

"I know, what's wrong?"

"She will go with you to talk about Shuoguo Manor. I mean, you two may need to come with us, Boss..."

"That's impossible. You want me to talk to that actor? Don't you have Li Shuo's phone number? Let me contact him!"

"Haha, Ms. Xu, this is not South Korea. Since you are in China, please follow our rules!"

"What if I say no!"

As the president of the number one law firm in South Korea, Xu Ji is naturally very powerful. Moreover, she believes that she has a very important position in Li Shuo's heart and is not afraid of her men, her subordinates, at all.

Yuan Ke's face remained calm as he spoke in a straightforward manner, "If you refuse, there's nothing we can do about it. After all, you're the boss's woman, our mistress. Our secretariat was created to serve you..."

"However, we will submit a report on your behavior so that Boss will be aware of your recent actions. In addition, we will cancel your meeting with Boss tonight..."

"Perhaps you've guessed before coming to China that our boss actually has quite a few women. Some of them might not even see the boss once every ten days or half a month. Who gets to see the boss and who doesn't depends largely on the selection process of the secretariat..."

After saying this, Xu Ji fell silent. After all, she was not a willful little girl. With sufficient social experience, she knew the principle of adapting to local customs. Moreover, when she set out from South Korea this time, Han Enqing, the "obstacle" that began to appear around her, she naturally knew that she had offended the secretariat, and now the offense was getting deeper and deeper. In this situation, if she could not finally meet Li Shuo, then...

The secretary's office is isolated from the inside and outside, and she may never see Li Shuo again!
When Xu Ji thought of this possibility, she suddenly became alert and softened her attitude: "Okay, I promise, I will go with Qiu Cixian..."

Anyway, let me see my man first, and then, you guys... hehe...

Xu Ji's idea of revenge began to waver after just 3 minutes!

Yuan Ke took her out of the hotel. The first thing Xu Ji saw was the car that greeted her. It was a burgundy extended Bentley. Xu Ji's own car was a Rolls-Royce. She actually liked this kind of luxury car very much, so she could tell at a glance that this was a billion (Korean won) luxury car!

When she was in South Korea, she was the president of the association. Although she knew that Li Shuo was financially powerful, she did not think he was more powerful than her. Now, driving a car alone, Xu Ji immediately felt that Li Shuo's status and position in China was at least the same as her own in South Korea.

More than ten minutes later, the extended Bentley arrived in front of a sentry post. A black Rolls-Royce Phantom was parked alongside it. The two cars seemed to be giving way to each other. Finally, Xu Ji saw the other Rolls-Royce lower the window, revealing Han Enqing's face. She nodded with a smile, and then let the Rolls-Royce Phantom overtake the Bentley.

Seeing this, Xu Ji raised an eyebrow and asked, "No wonder the two cars were so polite to each other. They both belong to the secretariat, right?"

Seeing Yuan Ke remained silent, Xu Ji asked again, "Han Enqing didn't dare pick me up, so she went to pick up Qiu Cixian? I heard she came to China to promote Chairman Li's new project. Does she still have time to come?"

One of the secretarial office's duties is to answer some of the hostesses' questions. Xu Ji's question didn't involve confidential information, so this time Yuan Ke quickly replied, "In our Shuoguo Department, nothing is more important than the boss's. Since the boss wants to see Qiu Cixian and you, then you are naturally the highest priority."

So you just threatened me?

Xu Ji curled her lips and naturally did not ask the question. She was able to establish a law firm single-handedly and was very knowledgeable about the ways of the world. She knew that her first meeting with Yuan Ke was not very pleasant and that she might have offended him, and it would be bad to offend him further now.

Of course, this was also the mentality adjustment Xu Ji made in time after gradually understanding Shuoguo's strength: having an extended Bentley and a Rolls-Royce is already considered standard for a large company, but Shuoguo took out two at once, and it even seemed that he could take out more.

In addition, the magnificent sentry post in Tan Palace just now also made Xu Ji fully realize that Li Shuo and his achievements were more powerful than she had imagined!
And everything that happened next continued to confirm Xu Ji's guess:
The Bentley followed the Rolls-Royce, first bypassing an angel artificial fountain, and then drove into a highway with a sign saying "Private Road, No Trespassing". The two sides of the highway were lush and green, but there were also artificial creations everywhere, such as cameras, solar street lights, artificial landscapes, etc.!

"A road of about 300 meters must have cost a lot of money to build, right?" Xu Ji couldn't help but sigh as she saw buildings beginning to appear ahead.

Yuan Ke proudly raised his head and puffed out his chest. "This is the outermost area of Shuoguo Manor. The security lines for the entire area, as well as all the invisible equipment, have cost several million dollars in total! However, compared to the Shuoguo Manor, where the land price is over 100 million and the renovation costs are countless, these are just a small fraction..."

Since the beginning of spring 11, the housing prices in Lenghai have skyrocketed. In contrast, the price of super-luxury manors has naturally increased faster because they occupy a separate piece of land, so Yuan Ke calls it "land price."

Xu Ji didn't say anything else, because as the Bentley stopped in the square in front of Shuoguo Manor, she got out of the car and the first thing she saw was the magnificent main building!
"A manor-style mansion nestled in the city, this is the life of a wealthy tycoon!"

An exclamation came from Qiu Cixian's mouth in front. It was obvious that her expression was more shocked than Xu Ji's. Xu Ji could even see that the delicate body of this "actress" was trembling with excitement.

Han Enqingji beside Qiu Cixian said with a smile: "Besides, this is the Lenghai of China. You can think of it as the most expensive Gangnam district in the South Korean capital... President Xu, you two can go in together. If you need anything, you can always call us..."

The next sentence was spoken to Xu Ji as she turned her head. Xu Ji keenly noticed that Han Enqing's attitude towards her was no longer as respectful as it had been in South Korea. The reason, of course, was that the Shuoguo Group and the men within it gave her ample confidence! (End of Chapter)
