The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

There are quite a few troublesome things going on at home, but none of them affect Chen Pingsheng.

After Liu Fen gave Chen Fan a terrible idea with her great wisdom.

In less than three days, more than 30 girls signed up.

The reasons vary, with some being forced by their parents.

There are also cases of selling daughters to save their fathers, which roughly means that the father is seriously ill and she is willing to marry whoever can pay for her medical expenses.

Chen Pingsheng often heard villagers say that it was getting harder and harder to find a wife these days.

Not only are the bride prices high, but women who have been married twice or three times can also be very picky.

It takes three generations of family wealth to afford a normal wife.

Even with this situation, these first-time husbands still have to be picked and chosen.

Everyone says there are few women, but when you go to a big city, you realize there are plenty of single women.

As for why these single women are unwilling to get married?
They say it's because of love, but really it's because they don't have enough money.

Even someone as mentally challenged as Chen Fan, after spending millions, saw the number of women signing up increase dramatically every day.

Perhaps it's the irony of such a thing.

A fledgling female intern reporter came across this news story online about a mentally challenged man buying a child to get married.

They actually wanted to interview me right away and even wanted to make this a typical example in society.

She believed that as long as this matter was reported, it would definitely cause a great sensation online.

Yao Xin acted immediately, and even wrote a pre-release report beforehand.

"A Mentally Disabled Person Buys a Child, a Three Million Yuan Sham Marriage?"

Because her first report was merely a warm-up, and it was not disseminated through newspapers or companies.

Even a behemoth like Tengying Group couldn't detect it immediately.

Many people consider this a tragedy of our time, and a bizarre joke about love.

What countless people see here is utter irony and naked materialism.

Look at the countryside now, no one talks about marriage anymore.

If you want your son to go on a blind date, you first need to get him a decent car.

Secondly, the first thing they ask on a blind date is whether you own a house!

These two items alone would cost at least 500,000.

In addition, there are betrothal gifts, three gold items, etc.

Let's put it this way: how many rural families can come up with 500,000 yuan in cash savings?

For college students, finding a job is out of the question, and even finding a decent wife is extremely difficult.

Under such circumstances, everyone's mood was already depressed and heavy.

A ridiculous blind date story suddenly surfaced in Shanghai. This isn't a blind date at all!

It's clearly a case of buying a wife with money, okay?

It would be one thing if no one signed up, but so many women volunteered.

Under such posts, countless people unleashed their anger.

Even the intern reporter didn't expect that a mere promotional article would be reposted tens of thousands of times overnight.

It has received over 50,000 comments.

She's about to become a huge sensation, and this female reporter is even trying to add fuel to the fire, stirring up some unpleasant controversy.

But then it suddenly occurred to her what if she took this to the newspaper office?

Will I be able to become a full-time employee at my own news company right away?

It's the 21st century, who still reads newspapers?
They all use their phones to read news online.

The female reporter believed she would definitely be promoted this time, and the editor-in-chief in charge of her group at the company also thought so.

He even thought he was a natural journalist, but what he didn't expect was...

Lin Qiunan's car had already pulled up downstairs; she had no intention of going to find any junior reporters or even editors-in-chief.

Instead, they went directly to the newspaper, which is owned by the owner of Modern Media.

The message is clear: retract this article immediately.

Outsiders have no idea who Chen Fan is, which is why no one would associate him with Tengying Group.

This is also where Liu Fen failed to consider things properly. If you're going to go on a blind date, then go on a blind date. Why post a marriage proposal online?

Isn't this a joke?
The article was intercepted by Tencent Film Group the next day when they started work.

It's likely that none of the people here expected that the article would be related to Chen Pingsheng.

Otherwise, you would definitely need to let them know before you report for duty.

Why do you think you can't find news about the children of so many big shots or related matters online?

It's not that they lack traffic, but rather that these individuals have the means to control public communication channels.

If this female reporter hadn't posted the news privately on her own account, it would never have been published.

There weren't many reasons; it was simply because Chen Pingsheng wouldn't allow it. Even when Erpiya became an internet celebrity, very little news about her appeared online.

There are just a few more comments, because most major online news platforms know that this "Second Smart" account belongs to his daughter.

When reporting the news, everyone must be careful and avoid including anything that could have a negative impact or even be used for marketing purposes.

The reason Chen Fan's incident has drawn so much criticism is because it has such a negative impact.

When Lin Qiunan returned, Chen Pingsheng knew that the matter had been resolved.

Even the modern media company would simply fire the intern.

This is actually quite unfair, but it serves as a warning to their industry.

News about big shots isn't so easy to report.

Of course, the most crucial point is that the female intern had no idea what would have happened if she had known that Chen Fan, whom she was reporting on, was his cousin.

Even if you gave her three times the courage, she wouldn't write such an article online, let alone post it directly online.

Chen Fan's matter is simple, but the matter that Chen Pingsheng holds is not simple at all.

Of course, it didn't have much of an impact on him.

It's just a matter of sacrificing one of Tencent's top stars.

He handed the documents to Lin Qiunan, perhaps out of a desire to test her talent.

"How do you think we should handle this?"

Lin Qiunan picked up the documents and was shocked.

This was actually a threatening document that subtly and overtly conveyed warnings.

It's nothing else, it's just that Tencent Entertainment has a veteran male artist who's a national icon.

This male artist can also be described as a late bloomer.

He only became incredibly popular in middle age.

He is doing very well as a director, host, and screenwriter.

Tencent Entertainment has three major dramas slated for him, all of which haven't aired yet.

This so-called "national uncle" has gained countless fans.

He had been keeping a mistress for a long time, and this mistress was a relatively unknown female celebrity.

The mistress was quite greedy, constantly asking Uncle Xiubo for money.

Finally, Xiubo got impatient, and his wife found out.

The two men took the mistress to the police station on charges of fraud as soon as she returned from abroad.

As the saying goes, nothing stays hidden forever, and this matter was quickly discovered by Tencent Entertainment's rival company.

The intention behind sending the information over is very clear.

They never mentioned money, but they clearly wanted it.

This so-called "national uncle" is definitely doomed if the matter is exposed directly.

But they won't gain any benefit from it, and they might even offend a lot of big investors.

Instead of doing that, you might as well ask Tencent Entertainment for hush money.

After all, you've invested so many big projects in people. If this kind of news comes out, it's exactly the same as when he attacked Huayi Brothers.

Tencent Entertainment's stock price could collapse by tens or hundreds of billions in just a few days.

Works by artists with bad reputations cannot be broadcast on any platform.

So, this is a real headache.

Now that "national uncle" knows he's done something serious and that someone has caught him red-handed.

He pleaded with Bai Xin for three days, but Chen Pingsheng still couldn't see him.

I only glanced at his documents in the office.

If he really wanted to suppress this matter, he definitely could.

The key question is whether he wants to pressure or not.
Lin Qiunan actually knew that the exposed information had been sent to the big boss's desk.

That means we've reached the negotiation stage.

If you can't offer a price that satisfies the other party, this information will appear on all sorts of front pages and headlines tomorrow.

One thing that ordinary people may not know is the news they see whenever there is a major news story.

However, it is the result of layers of screening and even various games.

News like this, whenever it's exposed.

This national icon will definitely be blacklisted; there's no way he'll ever be able to make a comeback in the entertainment industry.

And all the projects that Tencent Entertainment invested in him will also be ruined.

It's ridiculous that his sister-in-law is thinking of making movies. With hundreds of millions of yuan invested, what if she offends someone or something happens to one of the actors in the movie?

This money is basically all wasted.
