The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 272 I, Liu Yifei, am already a wealthy person, why should I be someone’s child bride?
"These journalists in Hong Kong are really not afraid of death."

Zhang Chen sneered and squinted his eyes at the website that dared to hack him - Baidu.

The matter has been investigated to some extent.

In fact, at the beginning, Facebook in Hong Kong Island was the first to report the news.

However, as soon as the news content was uploaded to the platform, it was automatically blocked by Facebook.

The reporter who published the news later went to Weibo, but encountered the same situation.

Finally, he had no other choice but to choose a forum on Baidu that was officially launched in March this year.

When the incident first started to develop, the public relations team of Chenguang Entertainment urgently contacted Baidu.

However, they did not deal with it immediately. Instead, the post was removed after an hour.

If I am not mistaken, during this one hour, Baidu Tieba should have gained a lot of users.

I just don’t know if Li Yanhong knew when the relevant person in charge of Baidu decided to do this.

If you know
"Boss, what should we do now?"

Li Xiaoping, who rushed over urgently, also frowned.

In other words, everyone in the conference room had a frown on their face.

It concerns their boss, who is also a world-famous celebrity.

Although the post has been removed, many people have seen it.

Now the forums are full of related topics, some of which even explicitly state that Weibo does not allow related content to be posted, thus hindering the freedom of speech of the spectators.

This is a crisis of reputation for Zhang Chen and Liu Yifei, as well as a crisis of users' trust in Weibo.

At the same time, it is also a dispute that was provoked by someone.

Regardless of whether Li Yanhong is clear about this matter or not, now that things have developed to this point, the two are completely at odds.

It's no longer something that can be explained by just a simple "I don't know".

Even if it is the operation of his subordinates, he, as the boss, still needs to pay for it.

"Put Baidu aside and deal with the news first." Zhang Chen rubbed his brows.

It happened so fast and so suddenly that he was completely unprepared.

This was the first time he encountered malicious smear campaign in the true sense, and it was also the first time he faced direct competition from a competing company.

He now regrets not taking control of several domestic Internet-related companies.

In the past, I was afraid that doing so would be too ostentatious and might make some people uneasy.

That's why he only got involved with the Penguin family.

But everything has its pros and cons.

By doing this, his goals have indeed become much smaller, but many things are no longer under his control.

"Have all the positive reports about Sissi been spread?"

"We released a large number of press releases immediately after the incident, but the results were minimal."

When Zhang Chen heard the report, his brows furrowed even more.

He irritably took a cigarette from a Morning Glory executive, lit it skillfully and took a deep puff.

"boss"

Xue Yining wanted to stop him, but when she saw Zhang Chen's gloomy face, she held her words back.

Zhang Chen died at the hands of this thing in his previous life, and he has never dared to touch it in this life.

Now he has forgotten the harm this thing brings and just wants to use nicotine to make his mind more focused.

He actually considered some of the negative information he had in his hands.

Just like when he dealt with the Liu Jialing incident, a lot of negative information about celebrities was flying around.

This will appropriately distract the public's attention, and then they can take advantage of the true and false news to cover up the matter.

But doing so is no different from overturning the table, and because of the previous meeting, it was clearly stated that it is not allowed to spread this information on the Internet in large quantities.

But if there is really no better way, don't blame Zhang Chen for going to extremes.

Apart from this, there is the matter itself.

Unlike the incident with Liu Jialing, Liu Yifei and he were hacked, or the key point is that Liu Yifei was hacked. This is a completely false story. It is better to guide things in the right direction.

After all, the Internet has memory. If the problem is not resolved in one day, it is likely to be brought up again and again in the future.

The conference room began to fill with smoke, causing several non-smoking ladies to feel a little uncomfortable, but none of them dared to offend the boss at this time.

In the end, Xue Yining opened the window, making the air in the conference room a little clearer.

It was this noise that interrupted Zhang Chen's thoughts.

He looked at Xue Yining with a cold face, and just as he was about to speak, his attention was attracted by a black object protruding from the lower window frame.

"Sissi?"

Zhang Chen knew without guessing that, apart from this person, there would be no one else in the house who would dare to eavesdrop so blatantly.

After all, the security forces around the conference room are no pushovers.

Zhang Chen's words also made everyone in the conference room look towards the window.

When Liu Yifei outside the window heard Zhang Chen's call, she shook her head slightly, and then slowly revealed her little face, which was obviously crying again, under the gaze of everyone.

"elder brother"

His expression was pitiful, his tone was aggrieved, and his eyes were slightly red, which made people feel pity for him.

Zhang Chen sighed, put out the cigarette in his hand, stood up and walked out.

Now there is no need to worry about whether or not to tell Liu Yifei, as the person involved has already overheard it.

"Come in and listen together?"

"No need." Liu Yifei shook her head. "I came here to show you this. After all, this is my own business, and I want to solve it with my own money."

"You are the company's artist. If it were someone else, the company would handle it as well."

"No!" Liu Yifei bit her lip stubbornly, "This time it's because of me. If I hadn't come back from the United States, if I hadn't called you to a secluded place, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have driven away all the bodyguards, if it weren't for me."

Liu Yifei became more and more excited as she spoke, and her crybaby nature began to break out again.

"Don't cry, don't cry~" Zhang Chen hugged the little girl in his arms with heartache.

As soon as he put his arm around her, he suddenly turned around and looked towards the conference room, glaring at everyone who was watching with great interest.

He doesn't want to lose face?
Anyone who dares to eat the boss's melons will have one month's salary deducted from him.

After being glared at, everyone turned their eyes away in disappointment. Some looked at the ceiling, some checked the cracks between their fingernails, but no one looked at their boss and his "little wife" anymore.

In fact, in their opinion, they have thought about it in their hearts, so they should just admit it.

Anyway, both of them are about to reveal their cards.

It's just that its reputation is a bit bad.

Other female stars want this title but cannot even get it.

This little episode also eased the dull atmosphere in the meeting room.

When Zhang Chen saw that his men didn't dare to look anymore, he also turned around.

But out of the corner of his eye he noticed what Liu Yifei had just handed over.

"Huh?" "What's wrong?" Liu Yifei sniffed her nose, her voice a little nasal.

"Xixi, you really brought me something good." Zhang Chen was overjoyed after seeing what Liu Yifei was holding. "With this thing, things will be easier. Why didn't I think of it?"

"what?"

Liu Yifei was confused again by Zhang Chen's jumping thinking.

But she had to come here a few times every month anyway, so she was used to it, so she didn't think about asking why, but just handed the things over: "Here, it's okay to spend it all."

She originally planned to pay for it herself, although she didn't know why Zhang Chen objected before but agreed now.

But as long as she can help a little, Liu Yifei is still very happy.

At least it would make her feel better.

"No need." Zhang Chen took the thing happily, but still rejected Liu Yifei's idea of using it.

Before Liu Yifei could continue to ask, Zhang Chen started to explain: "I'll have someone take a picture of this thing. Later you can post a status on Weibo saying this."

After hearing what Zhang Chen said, Liu Yifei frowned and was a little confused: "Is this okay?"

"Just listen to me, it will work!"

Just ten minutes later, Liu Yifei's Weibo account posted the following:
@刘艺菲: [Ah? Child bride? I would like to, but there are not many people in China who are richer than me, right?]——[NetEase shareholder certificate]

It is evening now, which is the time when netizens gather online.

They went back and forth between various platforms just to get the first taste of the news about Zhang Chen and Liu Yifei.

Now, whenever Liu Yifei posts something, many people who are following the two people’s accounts will notice it.

"This is... Can someone explain what this is?"

"I don't know this, it's obviously OK, it's all in English and I can't understand it."

"At first glance, they are a bunch of uneducated people. It says that Liu Yifei is an individual shareholder of NetEase and holds 260 million shares of NetEase. Holy shit?!"

"260 million shares?!"

"I checked NetEase's current stock price. Today's closing price is $60, which means that Liu Yifei's shares are worth $1.56 million, in US dollars!"

"I'll be a good boy!"

"Everyone, I looked at the Hurun Rich List of mainland China last October. If we were to go by NetEase's stock price at the time, Liu Yifei would have ranked 28th."

"That's not right. I went to check it out, too. Why isn't Liu Yifei's name on it? Could it be fake?"

"You are stupid. Liu Yifei is underage. Her shares must be held by her family."

"Is this kind of thing fake? Haha."

It was also within three minutes after Liu Yifei posted the new update.

NetEase's portal website and its official Weibo account simultaneously released a message:
[Regarding the malicious smear attack on our shareholders that appeared on the Internet today, our company will use legal means to protect the reputation of our shareholders. At the same time, we condemn the platform that allowed the spread of false information and reserve the right to pursue relevant responsibilities. 】

"Okay, this is confirmed, Liu Yifei is a shareholder of NetEase!"

"Oh my god, what a rich little girl! There are few people in the country richer than her. Why does she need to be a child bride? What a joke!"

"If I were as rich as Liu Yifei, I would probably find a husband who raised me as a child."

"So, Zhang Chen is Liu Yifei's adopted husband?"

"Although I don't know how much money Zhang Chen has, he is definitely richer than Liu Yifei."

"This pair of childhood sweethearts is really..."

"Ahhhh, I'm so envious! Let's be together!"

Zhang Chen watched as the voices on the Internet gradually began to reverse, and nodded with satisfaction: "It's my turn."

@张晨: [Where did this fake platform come from? They dare to make up any rumors just to attract attention. Li Yanhong, I am waiting for your explanation]——[Lawyer’s letter]

It’s a pity that Li Yanhong didn’t register an account on Weibo, otherwise Zhang Chen would have tagged him directly.

But it doesn’t matter. If he can’t contact Leo, there will definitely be some powerful reporters who can find him.

At this time, there was no need for desperate reporters. Instead, everyone who was close to Li Yanhong's home or company ran to the place where he might appear and waited.

Just to interview this person as soon as possible.

Zhang Chen didn't know that reporters had already come out in droves in the middle of the night. He happily looked at the comments from netizens under his updates:

"Zhang Chen, Zhang Chen, can you let Yifei hire me as an assistant? I can do laundry, cook, and act cute!"

"Yifei is so rich now, Zhang Chen, can you do it? If not, let me do it. I have a bad stomach and can only eat soft food."

"Are you two still missing some accessories on your thighs?!"

Or let’s just say that netizens are interesting. Look how nice what they said is.

Zhang Chen was flipping through the comments section with great interest.

But before he finished, Xue Yining interrupted him: "Boss, Director Tian is here to visit."

"Old Man Tian?" Zhang Chen raised his eyebrows.

What is this old man doing here so late at night?
But since he's here, we have to meet him anyway: "Let him in."

"Brother, are you okay?"

Liu Yifei looked at Zhang Chen nervously, with a hint of gloom between her brows.

This incident made her realize the dark side of the entertainment industry and completely deviated from her perception of her identity as an artist.

It was this experience that made her realize that many things could give even Zhang Chen a headache.

Thinking of this, she recalled the smoky scene when she first entered the conference room, and the ashtray in front of Zhang Chen full of cigarette butts.

Zhang Chen must have been very upset at that time, right?

"It's okay, though."

After hearing Zhang Chen's turn of events, Liu Yifei's heart, which had just been relieved a little, became tense again: "What's wrong?"

"But from now on, you may need a lot of people to follow you when you go out."

"Why? I don't want to~"

When Liu Yifei heard that she just needed someone to accompany her when she went out, she instantly felt much more relaxed.

But the thought of not having the freedom to go out in the future makes me feel uncomfortable.

I feel a little unhappy that I can no longer go shopping and play secretly with Changchang, Tang Yan and the others.

"There's nothing we can do about it. You don't want to be kidnapped, do you?" Zhang Chen touched Liu Yifei's smooth cheek. "They might rob such a pretty girl of her money and her body."

After the matter was settled, Zhang Chen returned to his mean state.

It's quite interesting to scare the little girl and then listen to her frightened expression.

However, Liu Yifei's performance this time was beyond Zhang Chen's expectations.

After hearing what Zhang Chen said, the little girl nodded seriously and said calmly, "Indeed."

"Hmm?" Zhang Chen suddenly felt like something was missing in his heart.

He looked at Liu Yifei, as if he wanted to get to know her again: "You"

But before he could ask, Tian Zhuangzhuang pushed the door open.

"I know where that photo came from."

　It seems like Xiao Liu stole Xiao Fan’s lines?
