Quick Transmigration: The Divine-Looking Host is Always Pampered by a Powerful Boss
Chapter 19 The White Moonlight of All the Big Shots
The reason why the Shen and Lu families chose not to hold their wedding banquet in public is very simple, not as complicated as the outside world has speculated; they simply did not want to make it public.
They hadn't even planned to make the engagement banquet public, but given the social standing of both families, if even the slightest rumor leaked out, people would inevitably become curious and dig into it.
Instead of letting the narrative fall into the hands of their own people, they invited professional journalists to film the event.
A few years later, Chu Zhuo's studio has gained much more recognition and has even shot posters for TV dramas, thus taking a step into the entertainment industry.
Another hit drama aired this summer, starting strong and going viral. Halfway through the series, viewers strongly requested that the actors playing the male and female leads shoot posters based on the scene where their characters undergo a transformation.
At the time, the company of the male and female leads somehow found out that the studio's behind-the-scenes boss was Chu Zhuo.
The heir of the Shen family in Yunjing City, and the partner of Lu Tingzhou, the richest man in the city, has two eye-catching and high-profile identities, so they went to their studio.
A photographer with a style that suits this genre took on the task, and the poster quickly went viral upon release, indirectly increasing the studio's followers.
Summer vacation is over, but the lingering heat of late summer should not be underestimated.
Last year and this year were crucial periods for the studio's business to take off. When Chu Zhuo was busy, Lu Tingzhou would pick him up from get off work. He hadn't been to Lu Tingzhou's company for a long time, so he left work early to prepare a surprise for Lu Tingzhou.
The weather was still hot, so Chu Zhuo parked the car and ordered a cup of milk tea outside first.
There were many people buying, and while waiting, someone next to him suddenly started chattering while looking at him.
Chuzhuo: "...?"
He turned around curiously, and the two men mustered their courage and stepped forward: "Excuse me, are you the owner of Jingyu Photography Studio?"
Chu Zhuo's eyes crinkled with a smile: "It's me."
The two girls' eyes lit up with excitement.
"So this really is you?" The girl shoved the photo on her phone right in front of Chu Zhuo's eyes. "You look exactly like the person in the photo, your skin is so fair!"
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a photo taken by a bold and up-and-coming photographer during the early days of the studio's establishment, using him as inspiration.
"Your photographers each have their own distinct style, which is eye-catching and unlike the monotonous aesthetics of recent years. I am a loyal fan of the studio, and my goal in making money is to hire your photographers to take portraits." The girl was very excited.
"Welcome! Mention my name and I'll give you a 50% discount." Chu Zhu handed them her studio's business card, smiled casually, and pointed to the milk tea shop in front of her, saying, "What kind of milk tea would you like? It's on me. This is a perk for the fans on behalf of my studio."
The two girls excitedly accepted the business card and expressed their desire to drink the same beverage as the owner of Jingyu Studio.
Chu Zhuo then ordered two identical drinks for them.
As soon as the milk tea was ready, I turned around and bumped into Lu Tingzhou.
Chu Zhuo bit the straw: "How did you know I was here?"
Lu Tingzhou pointed to the building above: "I saw you up there. You came and bought milk tea. So I was just a bystander?"
"No way, I'll come find you as soon as I'm done with my life-extending treatment." Chu Zhuo felt wronged. There was still more than half an hour before Lu Tingzhou got off work. He had calculated the time carefully, but who knew that Lu Tingzhou had such sharp eyes.
"I'm thirsty too, Zhuobao, please give me some sustenance." Lu Tingzhou bent down, his gaze level with Chu Zhuo's, and pointed to his lips with his index finger. "Kiss here, not just a perfunctory kiss on the cheek."
"Lu Tingzhou, are you a kissing monster? What did I put on my lips to attract you?" Chu Zhu complained for a while, then quickly kissed him.
Of course, Chu Zhuo would sometimes wonder where Lu Tingzhou got so much energy after several years of marriage, that once they started kissing, they would kiss endlessly.
To him, feigning helplessness is seduction, struggling is an invitation, and slacking off is enjoyment. Sometimes, responding out of anger is even more to his liking, and often the kisses will turn sour as they go on.
Anyway, they can always find a reasonable excuse to kiss each other to their heart's content, until their lips are swollen from all the kissing.
The two girls hadn't gone far when they heard their flirtatious banter and were both surprised.
Especially that man who came later, tall and handsome, actually jealous of a cup of milk tea? That's so disillusioning.
That evening, Chu Zhuo's photos from a few years ago topped the trending list.
Some marketing accounts have dug up the once-popular marriage pairing of the Shen and Lu families from a few years ago, and asserted that the relationship between the two families is about to break down.
The photographer from back then seemed to realize he had caused trouble and apologized to Chu Zhuo via WeChat.
His Weibo post was set to be visible only to his followers several years ago, back at his engagement party. He originally wanted to delete it, but couldn't bear to, so he changed the permission settings.
What was unexpected was that it wasn't unearthed back then, but was discovered a few years later.
Chu Zhuo replied that it was okay, since he had given his consent to release the photos, so the photographer couldn't be blamed for this.
The trending topic appeared very suddenly. It reached the top of the trending list in just three or four hours from afternoon to evening, which was obviously bought.
Lu Tingzhou instructed the public relations department to investigate and also to keep an eye on online developments.
I asked my assistant for the password to Lu's official account, logged in, and reposted the marketing account that first spread the rumors.
[Lu's official Weibo account: My wife told me to be gentler. I checked, and she has a long criminal record. Remember to accept the lawyer's letter from Lu's. / Entertainment Gossip: The marriage mystery between the Shen and Lu families, is it true love or a political alliance? The blogger has a friend who works at the Civil Affairs Bureau, and supposedly saw the person in charge of Lu's family...]
Lu Tingzhou's online rebuttal against the official Weibo account brought this inexplicable controversy surrounding the trending topic to its peak.
The two girls who happened to run into Chuzhuo in the afternoon also saw the rumors spread by the marketing account.
There were even people questioning whether their marriage was a business arrangement and lacked any real affection, and one commenter couldn't help but reply: "President Lu loves her so much!!! Today, the boss of Jingyu Studio went to pick up President Lu from get off work, and while she was buying milk tea downstairs, President Lu recognized her and came downstairs to look for her!!! He was even jealous of the milk tea, complaining that Shen Chuzhuo bought milk tea first and didn't come to find him!!!"
After sending the message, the girl was furious and posted a photo she had secretly taken that afternoon.
In the picture, a tall man bends down, staring at his lover with a smug look in his eyes, while a handsome young man doesn't need to stand on tiptoe to kiss her.
With this kind of atmosphere, a broken marriage? Who would believe that?
The unpleasant comments gradually decreased, and netizens who had shipped this couple a few years ago recognized the two of them and jumped around like weasels in the ground.
[The imperial court has released grain; come quickly so I can eat!]
[Grandma, your favorite couple is giving us some sweet moments! I'm so jealous!]
[Who has the time to pry into the married life of a young couple? Isn't it better to be sweet together? Why discuss it with malice? Gossip accounts, are you alright? Is life that hard?]
[Wow, is this really President Lu himself?! You marketing account are amazing to get the incredibly busy President Lu to personally come online and criticize people (thumbs up)]
[Who understands the phrase "My wife told me to be gentle"? Is that why she specifically reminded me to accept it so she wouldn't forget? Isn't that a gentle threat? (winking)]
The next day, the person who bought the negative trending searches was found to be an international trade company.
Last year, the Lu family expanded its business empire, and due to everyone's trust in their father, the richest man, and the various attempts to curry favor, the Lu family easily got a share of the profits.
That foreign trade company had been declining for a long time, and it had become arrogant because it was the only one that had gained international recognition.
This is also the biggest reason why Lu Tingzhou values this business empire; given the other party's inaction, he is capturing a very considerable market size.
Once we find out who it is, things will be much easier. With Lu's public relations and legal departments working together, the other side simply can't handle it.
After only a few months of perseverance, the company was on the verge of bankruptcy.
At that time, Chu Zhuo was on vacation abroad. Lu Tingzhou guiltily rubbed Chu Zhuo's waist and said, "Baby, you're so popular. I couldn't control myself last night."
Chu Zhuo's neck and shoulders were covered in bruises from being bitten, but he openly enjoyed the man's exclusive service: "What a novel excuse. If I remember correctly, I refused."
Having a wife who's too beautiful isn't good either, because he's not the only one who can appreciate a celestial beauty. As Lu Tingzhou massaged her, his hands started to wander: "Well, I'm almost forty, I'm definitely not young anymore. I admit that kid said I'm old, but he said my stamina isn't as good as his, don't I have to prove myself?"
Chu Zhuo pulled his hand out from under her clothes: "Heh, what about your credibility, Lu Tingzhou?"
Lu Tingzhou: "...His hand just went in on its own."
Decades passed in the blink of an eye, and they lived out the rest of their lives in harmony and happiness.
As they parted, the once healthy man, after Chu Zhu collapsed, lost all his energy and muttered something under his breath.
It seems like... they're waiting for me?
Chu Zhuo squinted to confirm, but in the next instant, his life force was exhausted, and he was ejected from the small world.
