Entertainment mogul: Starting his business with the internet

Chapter 331 Describing the Picture
"This Weibo is garbage! I couldn't even open the picture my sister posted before I was already devastated!"

"Stop criticizing Weibo, hehe, Weibo is a product of Tenda, we'll all be one family from now on!"

"Ahhh, my sister and brother-in-law are such a perfect match! Their looks are divine, so adorable!"

During the brief period when Weibo's servers crashed, Liu Shishi's fan groups completely erupted.

Tonight was full of twists and turns. At first, fans were very worried, fearing that their idols were really like the rumors circulating online.

After much anticipation, the clarification post from the top female blogger has finally arrived.

What? My sister admitted she's taken, and that she really is a powerful man's woman. I'm a little heartbroken!

Upon closer inspection, the master is a Song Dynasty poet, and the woman is a licensed professional—oh well! We absolutely must set off firecrackers to celebrate.

Who is Song Ci? He is a top scorer in the college entrance examination, a famous writer, the most handsome man at Peking University, an Asian heartthrob, the richest man in mainland China, and a member of a multi-billion dollar family.

Even if fans have a strong bias towards Liu Shishi, they have to admit that their sister is a little bit of a catch in marrying Song Ci.

"I told you long ago, my sister is destined to walk a path of fighting against countless women! The rival fans are probably so jealous, that's Song Dynasty poetry!"

"Tang poetry and Song lyrics, Liu Shishi of the Tang Dynasty and Song lyrics! It turns out it was all foreshadowed! Speaking of which, a few years ago someone in the group was talking about this couple. Did the older sister and Song lyrics get together so early on?"

"I was doing archaeology when I suddenly realized that my sister is quite vain; she actually praised herself like that."

After saying that, the fan shared a few pictures from a few years ago when Liu Shishi was promoting "Hello, Old Times" and praised Song Ci's childhood sweetheart.

Looking back now, it was just like a peddler praising his own wares.

"So, Senior Sister and Song Ci are childhood sweethearts, inseparable since they were little?"

"Oh my god, according to Song Ci's previous interviews, isn't Shi Shi his childhood sweetheart, first love, and white moonlight? How romantic!"

"This buff is fully stacked! I'm completely relieved. After all, being a daughter-in-law in a wealthy family isn't easy. But I think Song Ci will treat my sister differently. She should be very happy."

"From today onwards, I am a staunch supporter of the Tang and Song poetry pairings. Any sisters want to go on an archaeological expedition with me and dig out the subtle details of their deep affection for each other!"

"Count me in, I'll be responsible for digging up all of Shishi's previous interviews."

"Come along. Leave the Song Dynasty poetry part to me; I'll become a textual critic from now on."

"Gather all the little lions from Tieba and Tianya Forum, and from now on, Weibo will be our headquarters."

"Everyone, put everything else aside for now. Let's go and wreck those Xu family members' Weibo accounts and tear them apart."

Some are happy while others are sad. Liu Shishi's fans are overjoyed, as if it were Chinese New Year.

Meanwhile, Wang Xiaofei and Xu Xiyuan, a married couple, were grieving and dejected.

"Oh no! What are we going to do?"

Inside the warm and romantic bridal chamber, Wang Xiaofei paced back and forth anxiously, like an ant on a hot pan. "It's all your fault for being so careless with your words, bringing up Liu Shishi for no reason!"

Xu Xiyuan, dressed in a bright red wedding gown, was removing her makeup in front of the dressing table when her husband scolded her for being so irresponsible. She was immediately furious.

"Wang Xiaofei, do you have any conscience? If it weren't for helping you get revenge, would I have bothered offending Liu Shishi?"

Wang Xiaofei looked displeased with his wife's ability to stir up trouble: "You know perfectly well that the man behind Liu Shishi is Song Ci, why did you bring her up? Regardless of whether she's a mistress or not, her man is still the richest man in the world. Do you think we can afford to offend him?"

Xu Xiyuan retorted sharply, "So what if he's the richest man? Can he extend his reach to Taiwan?"

"That's a woman's view; women are just all talk and no action!"

Wang Xiaofei stomped his feet in anger, "Are you kidding me that you have the influence of being the richest man? If someone really wants to deal with you, it won't matter if you hide at the ends of the earth!"

Wang Xiaofei was filled with deep regret at this moment; indeed, marrying an unvirtuous wife had ruined three generations.

This ignorant woman simply doesn't understand that Tenda Group, as Asia's largest internet company, has businesses all over the world, and the influence of the richest man could not possibly be limited to the mainland.

They only need to spread the word to blacklist you completely, not to mention that all of South Beauty's businesses are in mainland China, how could they possibly escape the richest man?

"Where are you going?" Xu Xiyuan asked hurriedly as her husband walked out of the bedroom.

Without turning his head, Wang Xiaofei said, "I'll sleep in the study tonight."

Xu Xiyuan looked incredulous: "What? On our wedding night, you're going to the study, leaving me alone in the room?"

"I'm feeling really upset right now and need to be alone for a while." Wang Xiaofei sighed wearily. He was already overwhelmed by Wang Sicong, and now he's involved with the richest man. Sigh!
Watching her husband's resolute departure and looking at the cold and deserted new house, Xu Xiyuan wanted to cry but had no tears.

A terrible thought suddenly surfaced in his mind: Could it be that Wang Xiaofei was really a fake tycoon or a pseudo-rich family, just as Wang Sicong said?

She then shook her head to encourage herself. Her husband's family was quite powerful; the wedding cost tens of millions of dollars, which was real money. She would never follow in her sister's footsteps and choose a fake wealthy family.

But when she thought about Wang Ke's situation, another of the Four Young Masters of Beijing, she couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Human joys and sorrows are not shared, and tonight countless people are destined to have a sleepless night.

Zhang Ziyi, who was in Beiping preparing to attend the China International Fashion Week, was originally watching the verbal battle between Wang Sicong and Wang Xiaofei as a joke.

Seeing the flames of war spread to Liu Shishi, and the popular young actress about to have her image collapse, one can't help but feel schadenfreude.

But when Liu Shishi and Song Ci's little red book was thrown out, I felt a lump in my throat.

Looking back with regret, she once dreamed of marrying into a wealthy family. Five years ago, she and Mr. Huo were inseparable, even passionately kissing in front of the paparazzi.

Unfortunately, her boyfriend's elders didn't approve of her, and they eventually parted ways. How could Liu Shishi, a mere girl, possibly achieve such a happy ending and marry into a billionaire family?
At the Huairou Film and Television Base, the crew of "The Fallen Leaves of Chang'an" was feeling depressed. Liu Tao, who had just finished work and hadn't even had time to remove her makeup, was deeply affected by Wang Sicong's words, "a virtuous wife who pays off her husband's debts," which felt like a knife to her heart.

Now she has become a laughing stock in the entertainment industry, only to blame herself for being blind and ending up with a good-for-nothing husband.

If he had even a shred of manly responsibility, he wouldn't have to be a workaholic in the entertainment industry, risking his life filming to pay off his debts.

Upon seeing Liu Shishi's official announcement, jealousy instantly consumed all reason. Why did she have to bear hundreds of millions in debt, while Liu Shishi could become the high-ranking wife of a billionaire?

She couldn't help but tear up the script and vent her anger; her exquisite makeup couldn't hide her distorted expression.

Also in a high-end apartment in Beiping, Yang Ying, who had just enjoyed a passionate encounter with her boyfriend and had flattered Huang Xiaoming, was filled with resentment.

She disliked Liu Shishi intensely for mocking her acting skills on the set of "The Great Cause of the Communist Party" and had been looking for an opportunity to teach her a lesson.

Yang Ying thought Liu Shishi was going to be ruined this time, but in the blink of an eye, the other party revealed his trump card. The more Yang Ying thought about it, the angrier she became. The other party had such a bland face, how could Song Ci be interested in her? As a seasoned looks-obsessed person, Yang Ying greatly admired the richest man's appearance and was resentful that Liu Shishi was able to sleep with her idol. She secretly vowed to steal Liu Shishi's man sooner or later.

. . . . . .

That night, Liu Shishi made her official announcement, causing a huge uproar in the entertainment industry and touching the hearts of countless people.

At this moment, Che Xiao, Huang Yi, Li Xiang, and even Jia Jingwen and Chen Farong from Hong Kong and Taiwan, these actresses who had experienced the shattering of their dreams of marrying into wealthy families, were all closely watching Liu Shishi's every move, and they were all thinking about the same question: What makes Liu Shishi so special?
Starting with Hong Kong actresses in the last century, marrying into a wealthy family has been the ultimate goal for countless female stars to change their fate.

However, the reality is cruelly suffocating. Since the millennium, not counting Liu Shishi marrying Song Ci, there have only been three or four successful cases at most.

Moreover, the path to success for these few individuals is fraught with difficulties, akin to a thousand troops crossing a single-plank bridge.

Moreover, the husbands of these actresses are far less capable and wealthy than Song Ci. The only one who can be compared to Liu Shishi is probably Xu Ziqi, who became a "billion-dollar daughter-in-law" in 06.

Marrying into a wealthy family is not a fairy tale, but a survival game that requires high emotional intelligence and endurance.

Song Ci, the richest man in China, became famous at a young age and built a business empire in just a few years. He is only 25 years old now.

At this age, he's in the prime of his youth, a time to enjoy life to the fullest. Plus, he's handsome, so you can imagine how many women would flock to him.

Logically speaking, even if Liu Shishi were to marry into the Song family, she would at least have to wait until Song Ci had seen it all and settled down in middle age.

Looking at the marriage certificate and marriage certificate she posted, it was all perfectly timed. The engagement and marriage were planned step by step and completed in one go. She managed this marriage flawlessly. Even an arranged marriage couldn't have timed it so perfectly.

All the female celebrities were curious about what methods Liu Shishi used to win the heart of the richest man, making him willingly accept marriage when he should have been enjoying life.

By midnight, Weibo had already been restored.

Wang Xiaofei and the Xu sisters had already quietly deleted all their previous Weibo posts and turned off the Weibo comment function.

However, no one was paying attention to their verbal battle with Wang Sicong anymore; netizens' focus was now entirely on Liu Shishi and Song Ci.

"Liu Shishi kept it a secret for a long time. If she hadn't been forced into this situation today, she probably wouldn't have kept the news of her marriage a secret for so long."

"There's something I don't understand. With such an excellent husband as Song Ci, why didn't they announce it publicly sooner? Why all the secrecy? What's the point?"

"So much time has passed, why hasn't Song Ci responded yet? Could it be that the marriage certificate Liu Shishi issued was fake?"

"The marriage is definitely real! But whether she can win her husband's favor after marrying into a wealthy family is a question. I think Song Ci hasn't reacted yet, probably because she's dissatisfied with Liu Shishi."

"I'm curious, how much of the family fortune will Liu Shishi get after marrying the richest man?"

"You're overthinking it. Tengda Group was founded by Song Ci and has absolutely nothing to do with Liu Shishi. She definitely won't be given any of her assets."

Not only do netizens have many questions, but Cai Yinong is also on the phone with the "Queen of the Sea" (a popular female celebrity), worrying about the official announcement.

"Shishi, why hasn't President Song responded to you yet?"

Liu Shishi lay lazily on the edge of the bed, her phone beside her: "What's there to respond to? He was already resting when I decided to make the official announcement."

“This!” Cai Yinong hesitated for a moment before slowly speaking, “If President Song doesn’t respond to you, and you’re just putting on a one-man show here, you’ll inevitably be ridiculed by some media tomorrow. They’ll definitely say that you’re not favored in the Song family and are not loved by your husband.”

Liu Shishi said nonchalantly, "Tch! Whether I'm favored by my husband or not is none of the business of outsiders to say."

"Although you are living your own life well and don't need outsiders to comment, now that you are the wife of the richest man, the feuds of the wealthy family have always been a hot topic."

I can already imagine the Hong Kong media mocking you tomorrow, maybe even fabricating some mother-in-law/daughter-in-law conflicts to slander you.

“My mother-in-law doesn’t live with us, so where does this mother-in-law/daughter-in-law conflict come from?”

"But..."

“No buts,” Liu Shishi interrupted Sister K. “Those who are waiting to see me make a fool of myself are destined to be disappointed.”

Although I'm not cunning or manipulative, I'm lucky to have married a capable childhood sweetheart. Plus, my husband has a kind of fastidiousness and never cheats on me. I'm so envious of them!

The eldest sister paused, a smile playing on her lips: "I'm not only going to play this grand drama, but I'm going to play it beautifully. From now on, I'll show off my love every now and then, just to make them jealous."

Seeing that the richest woman had her own ideas, Cai Yinong stopped trying to persuade her. After all, she was the wife of the richest man, and some sensationalist media would probably only say some sour things at most.

"Sister K, why do you think most female celebrities want to marry into wealthy families?"

Cai Yi-nong pondered for a moment: "Although female stars have high incomes, their careers are short and unstable, and the prime of a female star's career is very short."

Marrying into a wealthy family guarantees a secure life for the rest of one's days, allowing one to continue the high-consumption lifestyle one has become accustomed to.

Furthermore, female celebrities' fame can bring exposure to wealthy companies, while the business resources provided by these companies can help female celebrities expand into other fields.

Being a daughter-in-law of a wealthy family can elevate one's social status and is even seen as a symbol of upward social mobility.

Upon hearing this, Liu Shishi nodded slightly. The intimidating power of a top female star's title was indeed far less than that of the richest man's wife.

Cai Yinong eloquently recounts the "life's destination" of female celebrities in the entertainment industry:
"Another factor is the influence of traditional culture. In any case, marrying well is widely recognized as an important standard for a woman's success."

Liu Shishi nodded, deeply moved: "Sister K, what you said makes a lot of sense. If I hadn't married Mr. Song, I probably wouldn't have earned billions in my entire life."

Cai Yinong was taken aback and asked in surprise, "President Song gave you billions?"

"Mmm!" Sister Yi's eyes crinkled with happiness. "I didn't take his Tengda shares, but my husband still gave me a lot of assets. I had someone appraise them a while ago, and they're worth about 5.5 billion."

Cai Yinong was at a loss for words for a moment, and after a long pause, he sighed softly: "Shishi, you are so lucky to have met such a good man as President Song. You should love him well. In this world, no one will treat you better than him."

The woman in the top spot said with unwavering conviction, "You don't even need to tell me. I am definitely the woman who loves him the most in the world."

"Sigh, it's infuriating to compare yourself to others. Let's not even talk about how many female celebrities have been tricked into marriage by fake rich men."

Even if one successfully marries into a wealthy family, they must abide by strict family rules, give up their career, assume the responsibility of bearing children, accept the control of family assets, and have almost no personal freedom.

If other female celebrities in the entertainment industry knew about your situation, they'd probably be insanely jealous.

Amid Cai Yinong's sighs and lamentations, Liu Shishi ended the call. When she browsed Weibo again, she saw some sarcastic comments, such as "Song Ci ignores you" and "You can only sing a solo act all alone."

I was instantly furious. I grabbed a few pictures from my phone, edited a Weibo post, and sent it!
Liu Shishi v: I know what everyone cares about! Without further ado, look at the picture!
