This director is vindictive.

Chapter 239 See you on Monday, again on Monday!
"Fame and Fortune" is heading towards 20 billion at the box office!
It can be said that he continues to enjoy immense success.

However, as the saying goes, with fame comes trouble. As for him, many people have tried to dig up dirt on Chen Mo.

The more perfect a person's image is, the more people will want to see their bad side.

Although Chen Mo's persona was not something he deliberately created.

But being handsome, talented, and rich—these three qualities are enough to make him the "perfect" man in the eyes of countless fans.

Although he was known for his womanizing, isn't it perfectly normal for a talented man to be a ladies' man?

This time, the reason why the news of Chen Mo's backyard catching fire has been dominating the trending searches for so long is that...

On the one hand, it's because the matter itself is very interesting, but on the other hand, isn't it also because many people hope to see Chen Mo "misfortune"?
Putting everything else aside, it's impossible for Chen Mo not to have offended anyone over the years, let alone be liked by everyone.

He's not a walking banknote; after all, even banknotes have their dislikes, let alone him.
There are plenty of people who want to see him suffer.

For example, Xu Guangtou, who has almost disappeared from the public eye now, probably hates Chen Mo as much as he is successful.

For example, many of the members of the "Backstabbing Cult" are not doing well now, but some are still active in the entertainment industry.

They are probably the ones who most want Chen Mo to suffer.

There are also competitors, such as some directors in the industry, and people like Teng Huatao who were once thoroughly defeated by Chen Mo.

It could be said that they all wished Chen Mo would one day be utterly defeated and buried in the ground, but they could only dream about it.

The main issue is that Chen Mo's past is practically transparent, leaving little room for criticism.

The only thing we can make a fuss about is him and his group of women.

The talented and romantic Chen Mo spent lavishly on his beloved, turning what could have been a stain on his reputation into a virtue. This only makes people feel a mix of envy, jealousy, and resentment, while also lamenting the decline of morality and the return to antiquity.

A talented man who is romantic but not vulgar is naturally a topic of conversation. Chen Mo and his several female confidantes have always lived in peace, without the kind of catfights that everyone imagined. This has turned Chen Mo's few flaws into advantages. How can those celebrities and directors in the entertainment industry who have cheated or lost money be so envious?

What they probably really want to ask is: "Could you be any more hypocritical?"

However, as the saying goes, flies don't land on eggs without cracks. It's impossible for a person to be without any flaws. Look, this time it has appeared, hasn't it?

However, news of Chen Mo's backyard being on fire and his four female confidantes exchanging memes has been circulating for many days, but the media reports are still the same old story.

Start with a picture, and the content depends entirely on editing.

The public was so frustrated that they started criticizing the paparazzi and entertainment reporters.

"These paparazzi are really no good! I've been thinking about how many days it's been, and 'Fame and Fortune' has been out for over half a month, but this juicy gossip hasn't even blossomed yet. Can't they be a little more productive?"

"@Zhuo Wei, the No. 1 paparazzi in the entertainment industry, @Southern Weekly, give it your all! I'm waiting for the juicy gossip!"

"See you Monday? What's going on? Did all the paparazzi camp out? Can't even handle this overwhelming wealth? Thumbs down!"

"@Wang Sicong, you call yourself the entertainment industry's watchdog? Can't you even take some initiative?"

Suddenly, even entertainment reporters and paparazzi were dragged out and subjected to all sorts of sarcastic and critical comments.

Even Wang Sicong was mentioned, mainly because this wave was indeed a bit too bad.

In the past, when has there ever been a breaking news story that has been going on for so long without bearing fruit?

But actually, entertainment reporters and paparazzi have it tough too!

Although the lockdown has been lifted, it doesn't mean they can run around freely!

Cross-regional travel remains strictly controlled! Anyone attempting to cross regional borders will face a two-week quarantine!

If paparazzi want to get juicy scoops about Chen Mo and his female confidantes, they will inevitably have to stalk, stake out, and even "take photos secretly."

But precisely at this point in time, if they really dared to do that, Chen Mo probably wouldn't even need to do anything; he would be reported directly and at the very least sent to quarantine.

So, they're having a tough time too!
But as the saying goes, money makes the world go round. Everyone knows that if you can get firsthand information about the parties involved, such as Jing Tian, ​​Zhang Yuqi, Fan Binbin, and Gao Yuanyuan, you can definitely get a promotion and a raise, or even sell them for an astronomical price.

After all, this is what everyone is most concerned about right now.

If it gets reported, it will definitely be front-page headline news!

That price could feed them for a year! Just like netizens said, you can't handle this massive influx of traffic?
Li Wei is one of them! He happens to share the same name as the person known as the number one paparazzi in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Li Wei is an entertainment reporter, also known as a paparazzi.

He's considered a veteran in this industry. Now he runs his own studio and has many freelancers working with him—well, basically amateur paparazzi.

His first target was Jing Tian, ​​after all, she was Chen Mo's recognized "official wife".

To capitalize on this massive influx of traffic, he went all out, spending a fortune to buy Jing Tian's current residence.

Unfortunately, the paparazzi in Jing Tian's location, with whom he was working, quickly returned empty-handed.

Why? Because he couldn't even get close, and he almost crashed just passing by.

Because Jing Tian lives in a top-tier, strictly managed villa community where only the wealthy and powerful reside. How could such a community not know how to guard against paparazzi and entertainment reporters? That's their job!
Of course, if you're willing to go all out, then it might not be impossible.

But the risk is just too great; the risk and the reward are completely disproportionate!

Therefore, he began to settle for second best and set his sights on his second target, Gao Yuanyuan!
Why Gao Yuanyuan? Because Li Wei discovered that Gao Yuanyuan was the one who disappeared the longest in Chen Mo's "The Vanished Girlfriends." Or rather, she remained hidden for the longest time.

Fan Binbin and Zhang Yuqi were both photographed by entertainment reporters appearing on Chen Mo's set when Chen Mo was filming "I Am Yu Huanshui" and "The Hidden Corner".

But Gao Yuanyuan is different; she had already disappeared from the public eye before the pandemic.

As a seasoned paparazzi, Li Wei had a gut feeling that Gao Yuanyuan was definitely involved in a big scandal!

Therefore, he spent a lot of money again to get Gao Yuanyuan's current residence.

There was no way around it; Gao Yuanyuan's old address was easy to find. Although the neighborhood was strictly managed, there was still a way to find it.

But the truth is, Gao Yuanyuan hasn't been there for a long time.

Li Wei also made a large investment in order to seize this windfall of wealth.

After several attempts, he had spent tens of thousands of yuan on "information fees." But as long as he could photograph Gao Yuanyuan, obtain firsthand information, and prove his conjectures, then tens of thousands of yuan was just a drop in the ocean.

The paparazzi world is very competitive, so Li Wei had no choice but to do this! It's just that the current situation is special; otherwise, those veteran paparazzi would probably have already taken action.

So, this is an opportunity!
In order to get the inside scoop, Li Wei spent a lot of money to rent an apartment in the upscale neighborhood where Gao Yuanyuan now lives.

He spent a lot of time and money to rent out this house.

Damn, people even verify the identity and background of tenants, it's unbelievable. Li Wei spent a lot of money on this.

Then all that's left is to wait.

Because he had already found out that Gao Yuanyuan was indeed in this neighborhood.

He didn't believe Gao Yuanyuan would stay indoors forever.

In fact, he guessed correctly; Gao Yuanyuan couldn't possibly stay indoors all the time.

She actually takes walks around the neighborhood every few days, after all, a pregnant woman can't stay cooped up at home all day long!
You should always go out and get some fresh air.

Actually, she didn't deliberately try to keep it a secret, because even if she kept it a secret now, it couldn't stay hidden forever, right?

Chen Mo didn't really want to hide it. They were all public figures, and so many people were paying attention. How could he not reveal anything? If it were just Jing Tian, ​​he might be able to keep the secret. But Chen Mo had several women. How could he not let any of them slip?
Therefore, everything will take its natural course; it won't self-destruct, but it won't deliberately hide either.

That day, Gao Yuanyuan went downstairs to breathe fresh air and take a walk, just like she always did.

Li Wei didn't dare to ask too many questions here, after all, it could easily arouse people's suspicion.

The residential area is very large, so Li Wei has to walk around a lot.

But after two or three days, he still hadn't seen Gao Yuanyuan.

That day, he went out with his paparazzi to look for Gao Yuanyuan.

The weather was perfect today, and the environment of this upscale residential area was also excellent, even Li Wei couldn't help but admire it. Along the tree-lined path, Gao Yuanyuan walked slowly, accompanied by her health therapist.

She's quite far along in her pregnancy; her due date is next month.

Carrying a big belly is actually quite tiring, and you can't walk around for long periods of time, so according to the health care doctor's advice, it shouldn't exceed half an hour.

The little one has been particularly fussy lately, often stretching out her body. However, feeling the new life inside her, her face is always filled with a loving maternal smile.

During this period, she often liked to look in the mirror.

Because she was reminded of her mother, she felt that she was becoming more and more like her mother.

This feeling became even more pronounced after I became pregnant.

Every time she looks in the mirror and sees the faint nasolabial folds at the corners of her eyes, she thinks of the last days she spent with her mother.

Those were signs of aging that used to bother her, but she realized they made her look a lot like her mother.

She talked about this with Chen Mo many times, and Chen Mo felt heartbroken every time.

"Brother Li, look!" Chen Mao, one of Li Wei's paparazzi, suddenly exclaimed excitedly.

"Damn, keep your voice down!" Li Wei was startled.

However, following his gaze, Li Wei immediately became excited.

As the saying goes, "You can search high and low without finding it, but then it comes to you effortlessly!"

Finally, I finally caught it!
Although Gao Yuanyuan was wearing a mask at the moment, Li Wei, a paparazzi reporter who aspires to become the next number one paparazzi in the Chinese entertainment industry, recognized her at a glance.

What excited him most was that Gao Yuanyuan was heavily pregnant at that moment.

Does this even need saying anything? Absolutely nothing more, okay?

And everything makes sense now.

The reason why these girls suddenly "disappeared" was because they were pregnant.

And judging by the size of the pregnancy test, it's clearly quite advanced. If Gao Yuanyuan is like this, what about the other three? Are they the same?

Although the other three were not photographed, as long as Gao Yuanyuan's side has solid evidence, then there is no need to photograph the other three at all!

This is the rhythm of taking off! He suddenly remembered a saying: "A favorable wind lends its strength, sending me soaring to the clouds!"
If you take a picture of Gao Yuanyuan with her big pregnant belly, it's an absolute statement of wealth and status!
Whose child is it? Don't be ridiculous! Who else could it be but Chen Mo?
Although he had made such a guess before, he was still shocked when he saw Gao Yuanyuan in person and her guess was confirmed.

If a paparazzi reporter is like this, what about the general public?
And if Gao Yuanyuan is pregnant, what about the others? Is it possible that they've already given birth?

"Be careful not to get caught!" Li Weiqiang said, suppressing his excitement.

Gao Yuanyuan, on the other hand, frowned slightly. Human senses are very strange. If someone is staring at you, even though you don't have eyes on the back of your head, you can still feel it with your "mind's eye".

At this moment, Gao Yuanyuan felt like she was being watched, but when she turned her head, she found nothing.

"Damn it, watch your eyes, don't keep staring, you almost got caught!" As a veteran paparazzi, Li Wei naturally knew that the worst thing for someone in their line of work was to keep staring at their target.

This was something a senior colleague taught him when he first entered the industry.

"What's wrong?" the health care worker asked, puzzled, when she saw Gao Yuanyuan's reaction.

"It's nothing, it's probably just my imagination. I just felt like someone was watching me," Gao Yuanyuan said, shaking her head.

The health care specialists were hired by Chen Mo at great expense. They were a whole team of professionals, and their clients were mostly wealthy people, including many celebrities.

Therefore, the health care worker was quite experienced. She frowned, turned her head to look, and then said, "I guess they've been targeted by paparazzi!"

"Huh? Really? That's incredibly powerful?" Gao Yuanyuan was somewhat surprised.

But they were just surprised; they weren't nervous or anything because of it.

Because of this possibility, Chen Mo had already discussed it with her. There was no need to hide it. Although he wouldn't announce it openly, there was no need to deliberately conceal it either.

"Let's go, it's about time to go back!" Gao Yuanyuan said noncommittally.

Soon, Gao Yuanyuan, with the help of the health care worker, slowly walked back.

Meanwhile, Li Wei stared at the photos in his camera, the blue light from the screen making his pupils bloodshot. His fingertips traced the images; they showed Gao Yuanyuan's unmistakably large, protruding belly—each one a bombshell.

He's about to make it big! The number one paparazzo in the entertainment industry? Zhuo Wei? No, from today onwards, he's going to change his surname to Li!
"Brother Li, we're about to make a fortune! Release it quickly! The onlookers can't wait!" Paparazzo Chen Mao was also very excited.

This wave is absolutely going to be a hit!
"No rush, no rush. This kind of big news can't be released so easily. We need to let it brew, understand? Learn from this!" Although Li Wei was excited, he kept his mind clear.

He was already thinking about how to maximize the benefits of this news story.

Send it directly? That's the most basic operation.

Look at all the big news stories in the entertainment industry; which one didn't take a long time to build up before finally unleashing its power?

Why does "See you on Monday" always work so well?
The formula is actually quite old, but it's undeniably juicy! And it's something the public is most interested in.

Therefore, he needs to carefully plan how to use these photos and this bombshell revelation.

On the other hand, although she didn't particularly care about the matter being exposed, it was still no small matter, so Gao Yuanyuan called Chen Mo immediately.

"The paparazzi have their eyes on us? Don't worry, it was bound to happen sooner or later. Let's wait and see. It's good to take this opportunity to make it public," Chen Mo said.

His main concern was that he didn't want his woman to get hurt because of this.

He simply couldn't control how paparazzi and entertainment reporters would report on it.

As for spending money to buy it or doing public relations, Chen Mo never even considered it.

Spending money to buy photos or do public relations is the most useless thing to do; it will only make things worse.

Li Wei was quick in his movements.

After much deliberation, he finally decided to follow the model of another colleague who had exposed the huge losses of Chen Mo's Fanxing Medical Equipment Factory years ago.

Of course, this will definitely require spending a considerable amount of money.

But it was all worth it.

He quickly contacted several other studios in the same industry and agreed on a strategy.

The first to fire were naturally his own social media accounts and Weibo accounts.

"Breaking news! Exclusive scoop: The truth behind Chen Mo's troubles is about to be revealed. Let the dust settle, we'll see you on Monday!"

Li Wei's news was like a starting gun, and many self-media accounts and social media accounts quickly began to repost it.

It swept across the entire internet in an instant.

See you Monday, again, see you Monday!
"Holy shit, is it true?"

"These paparazzi are really despicable! They won't budge unless I yell at them, do they only take action after I yell at them?"

"But what is the truth?"

"I hate riddle people the most. Can't they just send it directly?"

"It's great to see this! Although the tricks are old and unoriginal, this juicy story is definitely sweet, hahaha!"

"@ChenMo, we can't let the paparazzi lead us by the nose. How about we expose them ourselves?"

"@Gao Yuanyuan @Zhang Yuqi @Jing Tian @Fan Binbin!"

It has to be said that Li Wei's news gave netizens a chance to vent their pent-up curiosity about Chen Mo's troubles in the past, and it directly ignited the entire internet.

Everyone is guessing and discussing what the so-called truth is.
Chen Mo naturally received the news immediately. Because of his changed status, several platforms called him to inquire whether he needed public relations.

After all, that's a huge business deal!
