Huayu Chunqiu, starting from being adopted by a fairy mother

Chapter 452 Sisi's Weibo Account Crashed
Women!
Sister Li hung up on Qianqian's call. Her daughter was filming abroad, and many things had to be communicated by phone.

Thinking about the things she was dealing with, Sister Li couldn't help but sigh.

She was furious when she first found out about Zhang Min and Liu Jing's affair.

This is my son, and you, Zhang Min, are my best friend. You've watched this child grow up since he was little; you've spent more time with him than I have. How could you do this to him?

It's frustrating; what's done is done, the baby's already conceived, and it's too late to say anything.

Zhang Min is the very core of her circle. She has to be wary of anyone who controls her power.

From a mother's perspective, she finds it unacceptable. From a purely transactional standpoint, however, this seems to be the better option.

But after that, the two became very distant and could no longer be like sisters.

As the incident unfolded over the past few days, many people were quite supportive of Zhang Min having a child. Gradually, Sister Li's feelings also changed, and she gained a greater understanding of her former best friend.

It's common for wealthy men to keep mistresses, and it's also not uncommon for rich women to keep younger men as mistresses.

Even the strongest woman will feel empty, lonely, and cold if she doesn't have a man for a long time.

Besides, Zhang Min is just strong-willed and has Liu Jing by her side, so it's normal for her to want warmth and some support.

Having a child is good; she's a mother herself and understands the mindset of women after becoming mothers.

"President Cao, everything's ready for my daughter. How's yours going?" Sister Li gathered her thoughts; this wasn't the time to think about such things. She was currently at Sina's headquarters.

Last night, Xiaoxue's cry of "Dad!" completely ignited the internet.

To Sister Li's surprise, the online reaction wasn't overwhelmingly negative towards Liu Jing; quite a few netizens actually spoke up for him. She did some research and found that these were mostly male netizens.

As for those angry female netizens, many of them are actually fans of the character.

The investors of "Nanjing" and the online trolls hired by Xiao Rizi were quick to act on any scandalous accusations; the dirt they delivered came at just the right time.

This further convinced Sister Li that there was someone else behind it all.

"Don't worry, Sister Li, we've added several more servers; that's enough to handle any situation," President Cao quickly assured him.

Sister Li spent some time abroad last year and believes that companies like Facebook will emerge in China.

The Chinese internet is full of copying; even Facebook has its copycats, like Fanfou.

Weibo is too easily replicated; seizing the initiative doesn't guarantee victory. You have to take the first step that others take several steps to take.

Sister Li has ideas but doesn't want to start her own business. Starting a business is easy, but finding talent is rare. The same idea can yield different results depending on who executes it.

Qin Shi's philosophy is to invest capital and have board member status, but not to participate in the company's daily operations.

It was around this time that Sister Li wanted to acquire Fanfou, and Sina also had the idea of ​​launching Weibo. Upon learning this, Sister Li contacted them immediately.

Compared to Fanfou, the Qin Shi team believes Sina has more potential, after all, it is the largest portal website in China.

Sina is not the only option; NetEase, Tencent, and Baidu are also good choices, but each of them has its own problems.

The team approached Sina, and we were able to give Weibo wings. Besides financial support, there was support from other channels as well.

Qin Shi wanted to invest, and Cao Cao wanted funds, so the cooperation was a perfect match. However, the specific amount of shares and funds involved was another matter.

"Sisi will release it promptly at 11:11."

This was a clarification, a form of publicity for Weibo, and also a business transaction for both parties.

Weibo had just started its internal testing phase when Fanfou was shut down, which presented an opportunity for Weibo.

"The timing is perfect. Everyone has been working for several hours and it's not lunchtime yet, which is when their minds are wandering," said General Manager Cao.

Sister Li chuckled, purely because of that wretched child's birthday on November 11th. Women, oh women, no matter how outstanding you are, once you have a man in your heart, your mindset changes.

"President Cao, because the denial was delayed, 'The Message' suffered a significant loss. The box office on the 3rd was still 46.2 million, and it barely broke 40 million yesterday. Judging from today's situation, 40 million is impossible. That's the obvious loss. The same applies to the competition for box office revenue in the film industry. Once this momentum is lost, it will be difficult to climb back up." Sister Li sighed.

Mr. Cao chuckled. Half the National Day holiday was over, and the film had been in theaters for a week. The initial marketing and promotion had essentially run out, so a drop in box office revenue was to be expected. Yesterday's box office surpassed 40 million; what more could you ask for? Even a single film doesn't earn that much in a month.

The revelation about Liu Jing last night didn't have a significant impact on box office revenue. However, if left unchecked and allowed to escalate, the consequences could be unpredictable.

"Sister Li, don't worry. Starting tomorrow, no, starting today, Sina will promote Liu Jing for free. After the holiday, I'll treat all the staff to a private screening of 'The Message'."

Sister Li was satisfied, and continued to talk business with President Cao, her smile never fading.

"Mr. Cao, something terrible has happened! Come quick!" the employee shouted, startling Mr. Cao and Sister Li.

The two of them walked over quickly, one after the other.

"Mr. Cao, what's wrong?" Sister Li looked at Mr. Cao's expression, somewhat puzzled. She didn't see any panic, but rather seemed to be both amused and exasperated.

"Sister Li, I'd like to invite Ms. Liu Yifei to be the spokesperson for Weibo. Please name your price." President Cao's emotions were indeed complicated. He hadn't yet witnessed the power of capital, but he had already witnessed the power of celebrities.

Liu Yifei posted a Weibo message in her fan group. A dozen minutes later, a large number of users flooded Weibo, and then the platform crashed.

Because Sina has a portal website and a blog with a wide audience, Cao and some management believe they have an advantage in conversion.

But at this point, Mr. Cao changed his mind. Sina had many competitors, such as Tencent, Shanda, Sohu, Baidu, and NetEase. If they also launched this service and brought in a celebrity like Liu Yifei, the results would be terrifying.

At this moment, Mr. Cao gained a profound understanding of the power of celebrities and the influence of fans.

He suddenly realized that the future of Weibo should be related to this.

"Endorsement?" Sister Li's expression remained unchanged, but she was filled with questions.

We were discussing how much equity I would get, why are we talking about endorsements? How much are you willing to pay? My daughter's endorsement fee isn't low.

"Your daughter's message crashed Weibo."

……

"What? It crashed? This is terrible! It's only been a few days since the closed beta ended. What a load of rubbish!"

A series of modal particles came from Liu Jing's mouth.

He had just come out of the airport and gotten into the car that was picking him up when his assistant called. Without even asking if her boss had arrived, she said that Weibo had been crashed by Xixi. It had just been fixed, but crashed again a dozen minutes later, and the programmers were working on it.

"What crashed?" Zeng Li asked curiously.

"Weibo." Liu Jing sighed. The other party had sent a recording, and Qianqian also had a recording.

Although Weibo crashed, many people still heard it and saved it in time.

"Scarf?" Zeng Li asked, puzzled.

"Weibo?" Chen Kun was also surprised.

Weibo had only been online for a short time, and neither of them were as frequent users as Yang Mi. For them, it was a completely new concept.

“It’s a microblog,” Zhao Liying explained. She doesn’t surf the internet often, but it was the biggest sponsor of “My Love from the Star.”

Chen Kun suddenly understood, while Zeng Li was still confused, so Zhao Liying patiently explained.

"Oh, the roadshow is over, I'll register one too." Zeng Li finally understood; she has always been very receptive to new things.

"Hey! Sisi denied it." Chen Kun was bored in the car, and just as he opened his phone, a news article appeared.

"It's been debunked?" Zeng Li asked, puzzled. It was true, so how could it be debunked?
"My agent said that Xixi posted an audio recording on Weibo and said something, thankfully she didn't delete it." Chen Kun clicked on the audio, and Zhang Min's voice echoed in the van.

Zhang Min: What are you two doing?

Sisi: Sis, Mu Tou wants to film some scenes of the woman in the yellow shirt. Are you alright? Why aren't you resting at the hotel? Maybe you should go to the hospital to get checked out. Zhang Min: I'm fine, don't worry.

Sisi: It's all Wood's fault, he was too cruel. How could he not have been drenched in such cold water for hours?
Zhang Min: Okay, okay, it's nothing. Back when I was filming, this was nothing. And you're talking about me? When we were filming 'The Return of the Condor Heroes,' you were soaking in ice water in the dead of winter, and this was nothing. Achoo... Achoo...

Sisi: You said you were fine. You blockhead, stop fiddling with your broken machine and hurry up and take Min-jie to the hospital.

Zhang Min: I'm not going.

Sisi: Sister, don't push yourself too hard. A minor illness can easily turn into a major one.

Zhang Min: I'm not sick, you guys go ahead.

Sisi: Sis, are you alright? I'm too scared to go to the hospital.

Zhang Min: I...I...What could possibly be wrong?

Liu Jing: No, something's definitely wrong. Give me your hand, I know a bit about traditional Chinese medicine...

Zhang Min: You two play, I'm going back first. What are you doing? Let go of me...

As the recording played, several people in the car glanced at Liu Jing. Zeng Li and Zhao Xiaodao, in particular, seemed to be seeing the scene in their minds.

Liu Jingyun was nonchalant; his visuals were more striking, though it was just a photographic image.

This recording was made during the filming of "The Message," directed by Sissi, and edited and starred in by the three of them.

The recording location—no, it should be called the filming location.

Liu Jing temporarily set up a film studio to recreate the scene from the filming of "The Sacred Flame". Zhang Min wore Zhao Min's costume, and Xixi was dressed as a woman in yellow.

Sisi was writing a script, and during a conversation between three people, the camera was accidentally recorded because it was left on. Later, Liu Jing discovered this and wanted to delete the scene, but Sisi stopped him. She took a picture with her phone, and only then was the original scene deleted.

This clarification was also directed by Sissi.

She'll release the audio recording first; if that works, she won't release the video. After all, there are too many experts in China who can spot continuity errors on TV; who knows if their video will have any?

Zhang Min felt that Xixi was too well-prepared; in fact, one recording would have been enough.

In Zhang Min's view, this is my explanation; how I explain it is up to me, believe it or not.

She wouldn't have done all this futile work if it weren't for considering Sisi's feelings and pride. There are other ways to raise a child openly and honestly.

Xixi both allowed the child to be in the sunlight and legitimized Liu Jing as the father, which made Zhang Min let Xixi do as she pleased.

After struggling for more than ten seconds in the recording, Zhang Min surrendered: Okay, you quack doctor, stop taking my pulse, I'm pregnant.

Zeng Li's eyes flickered; it turned out she was taking his pulse, she had thought he was tearing clothes. Indeed, this was a recording released by Liu Yifei to refute rumors, not to spread falsehoods.

She sighed inwardly, "Zhang Min has already given birth, how far behind can I be?"

At the beginning of diplomatic relations, she insisted on maintaining a close relationship, and Liu Jing readily agreed. But as things progressed, she became practically naked, until she disappeared.

Chen Kun suddenly realized that she had discovered her pregnancy at that time. No wonder many of Zhao Min's scenes were cut during the filming of "The Sacred Flame," while Xiao Zhao had many more scenes. At the time, there was a lot of discussion online, with many saying that Zhang Min and "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" were incompatible.

When Wang Jing was filming, Zhao Min was almost changed to the second female lead, and Xiao Zhao was almost changed to the first female lead.

If Liu Jing had taken the film, it would have almost met the same fate.

In the recording, Sisi's voice was somewhat shrill, and her shock and panic were clearly felt. "What? You're pregnant? Whose child?"

Zhang Min sighed softly, "Qianqian, it doesn't matter who the father of the child is, you just need to remember that the mother of the child is me. I'm almost forty, and without a man, I can't just not have a child either. When I get old, the child will accompany me for the rest of my life. I've been looking into IVF for the past few years, and after hesitating for so long, I've finally decided to do it."

What followed was silence. Those listening to the recording assumed that Liu Jing and Qianqian were processing the information, but in reality, Zhang Min had altered the lyrics without permission.

"Sister, what if your child is so young that all her friends have dads, and she asks you for a dad?" Sisi sighed softly. "I have a friend who says, never mind. Sister, single-parent families are bad for a child's development."

"Sister, I'm going to be the child's father..."

Before Liu Jing could finish speaking, Qianqian interrupted him, "Tch! That's ridiculous. He can't even be a proper son, yet he wants to be a father."

Liu Jing has a complete line here, but Qianqian couldn't stand it after hearing only half a sentence. A surge of anger rose within her, and she blurted out this line.

The director didn't yell "cut," so Zhang Min continued, "Okay, I'm going back to rest now. By the way, don't tell anyone about this, it's not something to be proud of."

Then there was another ten seconds of silence, and the audience imagined that Liu Jing and Liu Yifei were watching Zhang Min leave.

"Are you serious?" Sisi suddenly asked.

“Sister Min has been good to me. She wanted to have a child, so I gave the child a complete family. I’m sorry to trouble you, we don’t have children yet, you’re the mother now.”

The rustling sound of clothes rubbing together indicated that the two were embracing.

"This... isn't a good idea," Sisi hesitated.

"If you don't agree, then forget it." Liu Jing hesitated, and Qianqian improvised again.

"No! Her child calls me aunt, and you call me aunt too, that's not a good idea."

"Liu Yifei..."

"Wait, your camera is still on."

"It's okay, I'll delete the video."

"Don't delete it, let me record a copy first..."

The recording ended there. The car was quiet. Zeng Li frowned. "Liu Jing wouldn't lie to me, would he? Could the child's father be someone else?"

Zhao Xiaodao had no doubt whatsoever; even if she were given ten more recordings, she still wouldn't believe it.

"Liu Yifei, Liu Yifei, so this is what you're like. You're not so scary after all." Zhao Xiaodao's eyelids drooped, as if he was about to fall asleep.

The people in the car were all lost in their own thoughts. After a long while, Chen Kun sighed, "Min-jie's courage, Qianqian's support, and Liu Jing's loyalty are admirable. The friendship between you is also enviable."

Zhao Xiaodao glanced at it and thought, "What kind of big star is he? He's really good at sucking up."

Zeng Li chuckled, "Chen Kun, you're being empathetic. Isn't Zhou Xun going to be the mother of your child? You can follow suit."

“She’s my son’s godmother now, and she took him out to play a few days ago. My son is very cute, would you like to be his godmother too?” Chen Kun said with a warm smile. Zhang Min has friends like Liu Jing and Liu Yifei, and I have best friends like Zhou Xun and Dong Jie.

"Forget it." Zeng Li shook her head. "I might get pregnant at any time. I don't even want to be your biological mother, let alone your godmother."

Zhao Xiaodao suddenly realized that Chen Kun had a son whose mother still didn't know who he was, which explained his behavior.

She gazed out the window, listening to Zeng Li and Chen Kun's conversation, her mind wandering.

When Xiaoxue was first revealed to the public, Bingbing asked her what she would do if she had children in the future.
Xiao Dao didn't answer, but instead asked the boss.

Bingbing didn't take it seriously. There were rumors online that my brother was my illegitimate child; she figured she could just have a real brother. Unfortunately, it was too late; her mother was really old now. But Xiaodao, your parents are still young; they could help you have a younger brother or sister.

Xiao Dao sighed inwardly, "I can't be like Sister Bingbing, without any bottom line or morals, but I should think about this carefully."

My husband and I are like this, without any protection, sooner or later we'll end up like Zhang Min. Maybe I'm not a good wife, but that doesn't stop me from wanting to be a good mother and give my child a complete family.

The recording is real, but the events depicted in it are definitely fabricated. Everyone involved is a professional actor, and Liu Jing is a renowned director; directing a film like this would be incredibly easy for him.

Zhang Min's matter has been resolved perfectly.

What will I do in the future? What will happen to my children?
"Liying, what are you thinking about?" Zeng Li's question rang in Xiaodao's ears, and he panicked a little.

"I'm wondering... what good food there is in Zhengzhou."
