Back to 1997, I became the originator of online literature

Chapter 501 Is Cao Sheng single?
In front of the computer in the study.

Looking at the online rumors about him and Qian Zhenyu, Cao Sheng was pondering how he should handle this situation.

Suddenly, I heard my phone ring. I took it out and saw that it was a message from Jiang Xiaoshuang.

Jiang Xiaoshuang: "There are a lot of reporters gathered outside your villa. If you don't give them an interview, they probably won't leave easily this time. So, you'd better think about how to explain this scandal to these reporters!"

Cao Sheng was not surprised.

When he returned by car, he saw a lot of reporters gathered at the gate of the compound. He stayed in the car and ignored them.

He was just a little surprised that Jiang Xiaoshuang knew about his latest scandal so quickly.

It seems that these online reports have spread widely.

How should we handle this scandal?

Is this a direct response? Is he clarifying his relationship with Qian Zhenyu in front of reporters?
Or should we just ignore it? Pretend it never happened?

Reason told him that ignoring this scandal was not a good option.

It will damage your reputation.

As a professional writer, reputation is actually quite important to him.

Some of the top authors from the original timeline saw their new works decline in popularity after their reputations were damaged. Cao Sheng had witnessed firsthand what happened to Tang Jia San Shao, who was once hailed as the number one online novelist.

For example, a certain top-tier writer who poisoned his wife was not only imprisoned, but also dared not use his original pen name afterward.

and many more.

Of course, as a writer, if I am a little promiscuous in my relationships with men, many readers don't mind, and may even envy or admire me.

but……

There are always some readers with high moral standards who will stop reading his works because they cannot stand his promiscuity.

With more readers like this, the upper limit of his work's popularity is affected.

Most importantly—today's rumors with Qian Zhenyu made Cao Sheng feel it was time to announce to the public that he was single.

Otherwise, no matter who she's with in the future, if any intimate behavior is photographed and posted online, it will affect her reputation.

only……

Announcing your single status has both advantages and disadvantages.

He hadn't announced that he was single before, leading the outside world to believe that Huang Qingya was still his girlfriend. Therefore, no woman usually proposed to him to officially date.

Jiang Xiaoshuang did not.

There was no talk of jade.

Qian Zhenyu didn't have it either.

But if he announces today that he is single, they would probably all want to officially date him.

With these thoughts swirling in his mind, Cao Sheng picked up the teapot on the table, took a sip, put it down, smiled slightly, and got up to go downstairs.

Thinking that I should go to bed early tonight so that I can appear in front of the reporters in the best possible condition tomorrow morning and announce that I have broken up with Huang Qingya.

As for tonight?

He had drunk some alcohol and couldn't write, so he figured he might as well go to sleep earlier than waste time sitting in front of the computer.

……

What Cao Sheng didn't know was that some of the interviews with Huang Qingya by reporters had already appeared online.

He went downstairs to rest.

The news announced by Huang Qingya is spreading rapidly online.

Because she announced that she and Cao Sheng had already broken up.

Huang Qingya: Cao Sheng and I broke up a long time ago!

"Zhongyuan Yidianhui has long since returned to single status!"

"Not cheating? Zhongyuan Yidianhui and Huang Qingya broke up a long time ago!"

"Qian Zhenyu! A top student from Fudan University, suspected to be Zhongyuan Yidianhui's new girlfriend!"

"No wonder Zhongyuan Yidianhui dared to fish with her by the river; it turns out he's already single!"

……

News headlines, one after another, attracted the attention of countless netizens across every corner of the internet that night.

It surprised many people.

For example, Jiang Xiaoshuang, who had just returned to the TV station dormitory, was browsing the internet to kill time while feeling depressed, but she never expected to see such news.

"They broke up a long time ago? Really? I've never heard them mention it before."

Jiang Xiaoshuang muttered to herself in surprise.

Her eyes darted around thoughtfully. After a moment, she picked up her phone and dialed Cao Sheng's number, wanting to ask him if the news was true.
If he and Huang Qingya really broke up a long time ago, then Jiang Xiaoshuang can't use her old tactics anymore. Before, she could maintain her composure as long as she didn't give herself to him, but now? If Huang Qingya really has broken up with him, then why can't I, Jiang Xiaoshuang, take her place?
……

Wang Zuxian, who recently came to the mainland to attend a brand launch event, heard while having dinner with her assistant and others that Cao Sheng was rumored to be dating another beautiful woman.

After finishing her meal, she returned to her hotel room and, out of curiosity, turned on the computer in the room to search for news related to Cao Sheng.

result?

She not only found the rumors about Cao Sheng and Qian Zhenyu fishing by the river, but also the news that Huang Qingya had released to the public—that she had broken up with Cao Sheng long ago.

"Huh? He's single now?"

Wang Zuxian was very surprised.

She looked at Qian Zhenyu's photo on the computer and her expression became even more surprised.

Unexpectedly, after Cao Sheng broke up with his girlfriend, another stunningly beautiful woman appeared in his life. Qian Zhenyu's appearance not only surprised him but also made him a little sad.

Saddened by the relentless passage of time, she realized she was no longer young. While Wang Zuxian could rival Qian Zhenyu's beauty in her youth, now, stripped of her celebrity status, she probably couldn't compare.

Fortunately, she had never intended to be with Cao Sheng.

and so……

She chuckled softly and decided that after this event, she would take the opportunity to visit Huizhou and have a meal with him. Since he was single, it wouldn't matter if reporters took pictures of them having dinner together.

As long as reporters don't capture the scene of the sperm donation, it's fine.

……

Near Huizhou Teachers College.

In Xingyu Internet Cafe, a male student who had just seen the news of Cao Sheng and Huang Qingya's breakup suddenly exclaimed, attracting the attention of several people nearby.

"What are you yelling about? You scared me half to death! Damn it!"

Another male student sitting next to him glanced at him sideways and pursed his lips in condemnation.

The boy who had just exclaimed took off his headphones and excitedly pointed at the news on the computer screen, "Look! Cao Sheng broke up! Damn! A guy like him actually got dumped? Do you think this news is true?"

"Huh? Really? He broke up with his girlfriend?"

Those who heard the news were stunned for a moment before crowding around.

At Xitong Internet Cafe.

Some people also saw the news about Cao Sheng and Huang Qingya's breakup. The first girl to see the news slapped the arm of the girl next to her repeatedly, "Hey! Big news! Big news! Our senior Cao Sheng is single again! He's single again!"

The woman next to her looked over in surprise.

They were all students at Huizhou Teachers College, and they had long heard of Cao Sheng's reputation. As girls, they had occasionally felt sorry that their senior Cao Sheng already had a girlfriend, as if if Cao Sheng didn't have a girlfriend, they would have a chance to win him over. ...

The news that Cao Sheng and Huang Qingya had already broken up spread quickly across campus as some alumni who had been surfing the internet in internet cafes returned to school.

The boys discussed the truth of the matter with great interest.

This paper explores the reasons for Cao Sheng and Huang Qingya's breakup.

Did Cao Sheng dump Huang Qingya?

Did Huang Qingya dump Cao Sheng?
Who cheated?
Or has someone gotten tired of playing it?

and many more.

These days, students have very limited entertainment options. Mobile phones have too few functions, and internet access is too expensive, so boys and girls in school prefer to get together and chat.

Yes!

That evening, the girls were also excitedly discussing this topic.

This is not only because girls are naturally gossipy.

It was also because they all seemed to feel that they had a chance to be with Cao Sheng.

The gossip in one of the girls' dormitories reached Tan Yu's ears.

Tan Yu was very surprised.

I subconsciously pricked up my ears to listen to my roommates' chattering discussion.

—Cao Sheng and Huang Qingya broke up? They finally broke up? Did they really break up? Has my chance come? Should I go buy two more sets of sexy lingerie?
A moment later, Tan Yu couldn't help but take out her phone and secretly send a message to Cao Sheng, asking him to confirm whether he had really broken up with Huang Qingya.

……

In the bedroom.

Huang Qingya looked at her phone ringing again and saw the caller ID—her cousin. She smiled bitterly. She hadn't expected that telling the reporters today that she had already broken up with Cao Sheng would have such a big impact. Relatives, friends, classmates, colleagues, and so on had been calling all evening to ask if it was true.

Some people expressed regret.

Some people advised her to get back together with Cao Sheng as soon as possible.

Someone asked her for Cao Sheng's contact information.

She was tired of answering these calls and didn't want to answer them anymore.

She watched quietly until the phone stopped ringing before picking it up, silencing it, and then placing it face down on her desk.

Deep down, I had already regretted announcing the breakup.

When he got out of the car, he was suddenly surrounded by so many reporters asking him about the rumors between Cao Sheng and a certain beautiful woman. On impulse, he announced the breakup.

Now, not only are he receiving so many calls asking all sorts of questions, but he's also given those other women a chance. My hope of getting back together with him has suddenly diminished considerably.

“Cao Sheng…Qian Zhenyu…”

Huang Qingya murmured the two names. Qian Zhenyu's identity was discovered by netizens through a manhunt this evening.

This is an era where doxing is not illegal.

If resourceful netizens want to find out someone's identity, they can always quickly dox that person.

This time was no exception.

Therefore, Huang Qingya not only saw Qian Zhenyu's photo, but also learned Qian Zhenyu's detailed information, including Qian Zhenyu's name, age, occupation, school, etc.

Netizens even discovered that Qian Zhenyu was Cao Sheng's high school classmate.

Qian Zhenyu's appearance, temperament, and education put considerable pressure on Huang Qingya.

Although Huang Qingya is also very beautiful.

But she knew that her voluptuous beauty wasn't for everyone. On the other hand, Qian Zhenyu, with her exquisitely beautiful face, delicate features, tall and well-proportioned figure, and refined and ethereal temperament, was considered a great beauty by most people. As for Huang Qingya? Some people might think she was too voluptuous and not pretty.

If Qian Zhenyu were merely pretty, Huang Qingya wouldn't be under so much pressure.

The key point is Qian Zhenyu's academic background at Fudan University, which proves that Qian Zhenyu is not only beautiful but also very smart.

A stunningly beautiful woman who combines beauty and intelligence could very well make Cao Shengsheng consider marriage.

Moreover, Qian Zhenyu... was Cao Sheng's classmate in high school.

This is another significant advantage.

Huang Qingya is in her early thirties.

She had long noticed a social phenomenon: when men date, they generally don't care about a woman's family background, education, or whether they know her well. Generally, as long as a woman is pretty enough, men will flock to her, and the more unfamiliar they are with each other, the more excited they become.

Because when pursuing a beautiful stranger, they can be ruthless, shameless, and without any psychological burden.

But if you know each other well, it's not easy to make a move.

Many dating techniques are too embarrassing to use, as people are concerned about saving face.

but……

When it comes to marriage, men tend to prefer women they know well, especially former female classmates and colleagues.

The more Huang Qingya thought about it, the more agitated she became.

Did he actually end up with Qian Zhenyu?

This question lingered in Huang Qingya's mind.

She desperately wanted to know the answer to this question. She held back for a long time, but finally couldn't resist. She picked up her phone and sent a message to Cao Sheng, asking him if he was dating Qian Zhenyu.

……

Qian Zhenyu, who was staying at the Oriental Sunrise Hotel tonight, had just received a call from her cousin. Her cousin excitedly told her some good news—many news articles online were saying that Huang Qingya and Cao Sheng had broken up.

Her cousin strongly advised her to put aside her reserve, take the initiative, and try to win Cao Sheng over as soon as possible.

After receiving the call, Qian Zhenyu's eyes sparkled, her heart pounded with excitement, her face flushed slightly, and her breathing became heavier.

She never expected, she really never expected, that she would be so lucky. This time she came to Huizhou to find him, and she just happened to run into his single status after breaking up with Huang Qingya.

This opportunity was a godsend, a stroke of luck for Qian Zhenyu.

A rich, famous, handsome, and young eligible bachelor like him probably won't have many single periods in his life. Any woman who becomes his girlfriend would probably never want to break up with him.

Unexpectedly, Huang Qingya broke up with him.

Qian Zhenyu was a little curious about what Huang Qingya was thinking.

How could I bear to break up with him?

"He must have been the one who broke up with me, right? That must be it."

Qian Zhenyu murmured to herself that she believed Cao Sheng had initiated the breakup, and Huang Qingya couldn't persuade him to stay, which led to the breakup.

However, she didn't care about that.

It doesn't matter who initiated the breakup.

The important thing is that Cao Sheng is currently single.

Even if they just broke up today, as long as they really broke up, I will really have a chance.

Qian Zhenyu paced back and forth in the room, lost in thought. She suddenly regretted why she had blocked Cao Sheng's hand when he tried to kiss her earlier that day.
Let him steal the peaches if he wants to!
Anyway, I don't have any peaches for him to steal, so what's there to be afraid of?

Why are you blocking his hand?
If we make it work today, we might be able to officially become a couple tonight, so why should I stop him?
Thinking of this, Qian Zhenyu raised her right hand in frustration and stared at it speechlessly.
