Who said this top flow is crazy! This top flow is awesome!

It's not surprising that people in the industry know about Chi Ye and Jin Xia's marriage, and that they might not even be able to keep Jin Xia's pregnancy a secret for long. Chi Ye isn't surprised either.

but……

It's intriguing that people outside the circle know about this.

Yes.

Three days later, a Weibo marketing account suddenly posted a message claiming that a certain top celebrity who had publicly announced his relationship with a two-character name had secretly gotten married and was pregnant.

This news initially attracted a lot of attention, but because marketing accounts spread rumors every day, that was about it.

After all, the top celebrity who simply announced his relationship with a certain name... this is practically a no-brainer, there's no need to guess, even a three-year-old knows who it is.

But it's clear that someone deliberately pushed this behind the scenes, probably some group within the industry. In short, they have plenty of money. Soon, various related trending topics sprang up like mushrooms after rain, dominating the trending search list.

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Ikeno got married!
Ikeno has a child!

To be honest, these two pieces of news have almost no impact on Ikeno now, well... in terms of her career, because Ikeno's career no longer relies on her fan base.

He had already considered these things when he officially announced his relationship, and he has already weathered this major crisis.

However, considering his reputation and other hidden factors, it is clear that this incident still had some impact on him.

First, the fact that celebrities secretly marry is naturally met with resistance from many fans. Second, and most importantly, is the revelation of premarital pregnancy and shotgun weddings.

This doesn't actually have much impact on Ikeno, mainly this summer.

Many people are unaware of Jin Xia's background, but those in and outside her circle know it. This revelation will not have any impact on Jin Xia's real life, but whether she will be criticized or gossiped about is a matter of opinion.

Furthermore, is the phrase "marrying because of pregnancy" a nice thing to say?

Will fans think that this summer is just one-sidedly "蹭热度" (trying to gain attention by associating with) Ikeno?

Even more so, is it possible that she was already pregnant when they officially announced their relationship, and that Ikeno was "forced" into it?

After all, people like this are capable of anything. Logically speaking, it's highly likely that Ikeno's sudden and unexpected announcement of his relationship at the peak of his career is true.

In conclusion, this incident will not hinder Jin Xia and Ikeno's careers, but it is extremely malicious towards Jin Xia personally.

If this kind of thing isn't explained well, it can become a stain that people will talk about for the rest of their lives. If Chi Ye doesn't like Jin Xia, then it doesn't matter. But if he loves Jin Xia very much, I believe he will feel disgusted by this.

Ikeno felt disgusted.

But he didn't have many actions or methods. This kind of thing is actually an "open conspiracy," openly disgusting you, and you can't do anything too substantial.

That evening, Chi Ye posted a message on Weibo: "I'm doing very well. I don't believe or spread rumors."

Then this summer, she commented below: 【Hmph.】

That's all there is to it.

……

"Who is it?!"

at the same time.

Others in the industry also became suspicious because of this news, mainly wondering who was so reckless as to use such a thing to disgust Ikeno.

Well, it's like everything was part of Ikeno's plan: the wedding, the ceremony. Even if it couldn't be kept secret, keeping it low-key would have been enough.

Everything should be done step by step; such a major life event definitely requires careful consideration.

But now that things have been stirred up like this, it has become common knowledge, and because of Chino and Jin Xia's professional attributes, there will definitely be a lot of controversy and malicious speculation.

This is obviously not a good thing for such an important event in their lives. Of course, apart from that, it doesn't seem to have any other impact. After all, they can't just not have a wedding just because their marriage certificate has been exposed.
Isn't this pure nonsense?
However, this is precisely what surprised everyone in the industry—which little genius came up with this thankless task that did not cause any real harm to Chi Ye, but could make him hold a grudge for a lifetime?

The current Ikeno is not the Ikeno of the past. Just looking at his official status, he could easily put you in a cage for a trial. Have you thought about the consequences of your actions?
"penguin?"

"It doesn't seem like it. Besides, Penguin is such a big company. Even if they have a big conflict with Ikeno, they've never used such underhanded tactics."

"Besides, the relationship between Penguin and Coconut has improved a lot recently. At a time like this, who would be crazy enough to do something like this?"

"That's... Cool Shadow?"

"Coolfilm is just like Penguin."

"It can't be Yue Na, can it? Yue Na is completely gone, he's in jail, how can he cause trouble?"

"It's hard to say. The main problem is that Chi Ye has offended too many people over the years. He used to be ruthless. Others might just have their homes collapse, but he's the kind of person who can ruin yours and send you to jail. It's hard to say."

"...Sigh, things are probably going to get turbulent again."

"What does this have to do with us? If you ask me, she deserves it. She's offended too many people. No matter how powerful you are, there will always be people who want to annoy you, and you can't even find them..."

"..."

Such comments have been rampant both inside and outside the industry lately. Many people enjoy watching the drama unfold. This kind of thing is actually very difficult to resolve because Ikeno has offended too many people in the past, and now it's impossible to find a clear target.

Seeing the arrogant CEO Chi get disgusted in the end was incredibly satisfying for countless people who disliked Chi Ye but dared not speak up.

Okay, okay, serves you right for how you treated us before. Now you deserve it!

but…

Is it really impossible to find?

"I didn't expect it to be exposed so quickly. I thought it would take several years."

Coconut jelly.

Ikeno sat in his office, yawning.

He had just contacted a familiar friend overseas, who was the content manager of a major distribution company. Although the friend had nothing to do with special effects, he did have a lot of connections.

Because of the time difference, their conversation was rather abstract, and Chino had been doing this for the past few days, so he looked a little tired at the moment.

He wasn't nearly as angry as the outside world thought about the news of his marriage being leaked.

Instead, he was eerily calm. Of course, Coco knew that the more Chi Ge acted like this, the more likely someone was going to be in trouble.

For example, the marketing account that first broke the news, a big account with ten million followers, has probably been deleted by now, and the person who broke the news will likely be taken into custody.

Don't get me wrong, this is certainly not a privilege. The main issue is that the other party did commit a crime, infringing on the various rights of Ikeno and Jinxia, ​​and is also suspected of accepting money to spread rumors.

This indirectly caused huge losses to coconuts and Ikeno, the exact extent of which depends on the duration of the tourism voucher.

"I didn't expect that either."

Coco laughed and said, "Everyone says you learn from your mistakes, and I think they really hate you, otherwise they wouldn't be in such a hurry."

Ikeno yawned again: "Keep an eye on that side. When the time is right, let's wrap it up."

"I see."

Coco nodded.

At the same time, I also felt a bit emotional. Everyone says that Brother Chi is a deep thinker, but no one knows that Brother Chi is also a rather ruthless person to himself.

For example, this time, he had been laying the groundwork for a long time, waiting for that person to walk into his trap. Even the person involved probably didn't expect that he had been targeted by Chi Ye for a long time.

The reason we haven't taken any action against him is simply because we're uncertain. We need to get him to come out on his own, and we also need sufficient evidence.

Once all these conditions are met, then it will be time for "death".

Now, the whole family can truly be reunited; it only makes sense when everyone is together.

"Haha, that's hilarious. Chi Ye is probably disgusted right now. That's how we have to deal with him. So what if he's rich and powerful? This is just the beginning. We'll deal with him every now and then, unless he can guarantee that he'll stay as dumb as a wooden doll for the rest of his life without making any mistakes."

Abroad, a young man checks domestic public opinion and applauds.

"It must have cost a lot of money this time, right?"

The person, still lying on the beach chair, asked.

"It's worth the money, no matter how much it costs."

"Too."

The man nodded, then frowned: "Who did this for you?"

"Who else could it be?"

"So fast?"

"This was never a big deal to begin with."

"Oh, right." The young man remembered something: "They said they didn't have enough funds this time, and we also owed a lot of money from the last trip, so they're not happy and want to meet with us."

"Then book your tickets, and let's meet here."

"...This isn't a good idea."

The young man frowned: "The main thing is that we have indeed done a lot of things over the years, and she should have a lot of things in her hands. It can be seen that she is really scared this time and insists on seeing the person."

"Can't we meet here?"

“She doesn’t feel safe here.”

"..."

The man remained silent for a long time, then sighed, "I never want to go back to China in my life, sigh."

"It's alright. Everything that needed to be dealt with has been dealt with. Now we're just returning to China normally. We haven't done anything wrong, so what's there to be afraid of?"

That's one way of putting it.

The man paused for a moment before giving a wry smile: "It was quite risky when we ran away. There were many things we didn't understand in the company, and many departments over there were looking for us."

"Don't you want to go back and visit? It's been several years, and Qingming Festival is coming soon."

After he finished speaking, the man fell silent.

After a long pause, he finally let out a sigh of relief: "Alright... let's go back and take a look then."

He thought about it carefully and realized that there was really nothing wrong with it. They weren't economic criminals and had the freedom to come and go. The reason they were unwilling to go back was mainly because they didn't want to recall any bad things.

Having struggled for most of his life, he should be full of vigor and passing on his wealth to the next generation, but now he is stranded overseas. He may seem rich, but in reality, he is no different from a useless person.

At his age, he didn't bring much money with him back then, and now he's living off his savings. How many good days can he have left?
……

"Don't let these trivial matters affect your mood. The work still needs to be done, and the film project needs to continue to move forward."

The former boss called Chi Ye, speaking in a comforting tone, even though he was actually a little unhappy about the situation.

He had met this girl before this summer, and she was inexplicably smeared, which made him a little angry.

However, he was more worried about Ikeno. He was angry, but that was all. Ikeno was a difficult person to control.

After all, even a madman is still a madman when he gets old; who knows what he might do?

He certainly wouldn't commit any illegal or criminal acts, but I'm worried he might say something inappropriate in the media. After all, Ikeno's status is different now, and if things go wrong, he might be misinterpreted.

"What could possibly happen to me? Don't worry."

Chi Ye felt that his old leader was underestimating him; he just wanted to get people in there and had no other intentions. He was very simple-minded.

Come to think of it, he's already this age, and he hasn't taken much money with him. Finding him a stable place to eat and sleep is hardly considered reckless behavior.

"As long as you know."

The former leader was quite pleased: "You've grown."

"That's true."

Former boss: "..."

"By the way, 'The Wandering Earth' might not be released until the Spring Festival, it won't be able to make it to the National Day holiday."

Chi Ye gave him a heads-up: "I'll try to let you see the finished product before... probably before the Spring Festival."

"So late..."

"Boss, it's almost done."

"...Okay, remember, quality should always be the priority."

The old leader was worried that Chi Ye would be pressured to meet the deadline: "You must pay attention to this."

"Which of us is the professional?"

The old leader remained silent.

"Bye, I have something to take care of here."

Just as Chino hung up the phone and was about to continue working, he received a message from Coco: "I'm back in Japan."

Ikeno paused for a moment, then replied: 【Understood.】

Then he continued working with his head down.

He no longer cares about such things. It's quite poignant to think about; his status and position have long since shifted from offense to defense.

……

At an airport, Ge Shuang, who had just arrived, was pacing anxiously around the arrival gate.

An assistant came up to her and said, "Sister, have some water."

"Leave me alone."

Ge Shuang waved her hand.

To be honest, she doesn't have many people around her anymore, and this assistant is one of the few who has always been relatively close to her.

The last time I encountered something like that, the other person didn't run away; they even followed me inside for a while.

I heard that she didn't betray herself during the interrogation, and it was because of this, plus Ikeno's "keeping his promise," that she was released in such a short time.

It wasn't a big deal to begin with, and since the parties involved didn't pursue the matter and the so-called chain of evidence wasn't completed, she naturally came forward.

To be honest, she didn't believe it at first either. She couldn't believe that Chi Ye actually did what he said he would do. It made her feel like a stranger to him, and it made her hesitate about what she was going to do after she came out.

However, her hesitation lasted only a moment. In the end, she also needed to survive, and she truly hated Chi Ye to the core. This small act of keeping her promise could not erase the fact that he had ruined her life.

The reason she readily took on these "blames" was mainly because she wanted to seize the only source of huge financial gains she could currently make.

Today, she will meet her "channel". (End of Chapter)
