Huayu 1999: Starting with nothing but getting something for nothing

Gao Yuanyuan asked, "And then?"

Little Fatty replied, "Then I said a few lines, but that's professional etiquette, so I won't go into details. Then I said it was fine and told him to talk to Sister Hua about other things. Bro, guess how much I'm asking for now?"

Yang Che shook his head: "One million?"

Little Fatty nodded, then burst into laughter, grabbing his arm and laughing so hard.

Gao Yuanyuan felt extremely uncomfortable seeing Xiao Pang's smug and carefree attitude. She was jealous again and could only hold her boyfriend's hand to relieve her jealousy.

Yang Che smiled and squeezed her hand.

At that moment, the elevator doors opened, followed by a series of clicking camera shutters and dazzling flashes.

Suddenly, a huge surge of anger welled up in Yang Che's heart. At this moment, he felt the same way as Dou Wei, Li Yapeng, and many other people who had worked as journalists.

The reporters were ecstatic. They couldn't believe it when they first heard that Yang Che was having an affair with two other people. Now that the three of them were behaving intimately, and one of them was Fan Bingbing, how could they not be excited?

"Yang Che, did you spend the night with Cathy Tsui last night?"

How do you feel about the public calling you "dog"?

"Hey beautiful lady, what's your relationship with Yang Che? Do you know he's Wang Fei's boyfriend?"

"Fan Bingbing, what are you doing here? Why did you kiss Yang Che just now?"

"........."

Within a second, the seven or eight paparazzi in front of me bombarded me with over a dozen questions...

For a moment, all three of them looked very unpleasant.

Gao Yuanyuan was already starting to doubt whether her belief that her boyfriend was having an affair with Wang Fei was wrong. These Hong Kong reporters were spouting all sorts of nonsense to her face, acting like lunatics.

Yang Che, with a stern face, held one hand in each hand and escorted them out of the elevator.

The paparazzi swarmed around, repeating the same questions, making Yang Che's ears ring. However, his anger subsided, and he couldn't help but shout, "I can answer your questions, but not here, go to the side of the road."

"You won't run around like you did in front of Wang Fei's house yesterday, will you?"

Hearing the question from at least two reporters, Gao Yuanyuan and Fan Bingbing both frowned.

"Won't."

As Yang Che spoke, he continued to hold the hands of the two women and made his way through the circle of reporters.

As Yang Che left the building, he deliberately glanced at the two security guards at the entrance, and sure enough, they had gloating expressions on their faces.

The two security guards froze on the spot, and only breathed a sigh of relief after Yang Che and the group of reporters left.

At this moment, Yang Che and Fan Bingbing also cooperated by taking the microphones and recorders with labels handed to them by reporters. Surprisingly, there were reporters from ATV and TVB... They gave each other face, after all, they had just said that they would report the truth.

"The entertainment industry in Hong Kong is thriving, and you entertainment reporters deserve a lot of credit for that. Even the box office of 'My Sassy Girl' has bucked the trend and risen."

Yang Che decisively typed "GG" before answering the question.

Then they started talking.

"Cathy Tsui? I don't know her. This breakfast picture..."

Yang Che was speechless. Damn it, this little brat dared to secretly film me and ride my coattails. I'll make sure you get nothing in return.

"A customer who joined us at a shared table, and..."

Yang Che took Gao Yuanyuan's hand and lifted her up, saying, "This is my girlfriend, Gao Yuanyuan."

"Splash splash"

"Click click"

Gao Yuanyuan pursed her lips, feeling both nervous and happy, almost dizzy with happiness. At this moment, she didn't care about anything else, at least not at this moment.

Fan Bingbing smiled slightly, but her heart ached as if being cut by a knife, bit by bit. What was she thinking back then? Was her idol's reputation really that important?

"Gao Yuanyuan? When did you arrive in Hong Kong? Did you hear about the news that Wang Fei and Yang Che are dating?"

Feeling his warm, dry hands, Gao Yuanyuan's nervous demeanor vanished as she looked when they were out together: "I came today, but I only found out about the rumors after I arrived in Hong Kong. Everyone's mistaken. He's a fan of Wang Fei, and we've even been to one of Wang Fei's concerts together. We know each other."

The reporters had another barrage of questions.

"What are you patting my butt for? I was just getting on the bus, even if I got touched... Wang Fei doesn't care, I don't care, my girlfriend trusts me, why are you all keeping bringing it up?"

"Wang Fei won't show up? Then go ask her. She definitely won't bother with you when you're making things up like this."

"Bingbing, she's my sister! Holding hands? Don't you guys even know how scary you're doing?"

"She had a contract dispute at the time, but she was willing to breach the contract and pay compensation to act in 'My Sassy Girl.' Our entire crew was made up of newcomers, and we didn't pay her much, but she still wanted to help. You have to understand that she was not even 18 years old at the time. She was so loyal and devoted."

Fan Bingbing chuckled and chimed in, "Anyway, I call him 'brother,' haha. I told you, if 'My Sassy Girl' doesn't become a hit, you should make another one that will. And someone just said I kissed him, look closely and see if I actually did! Besides, so what if I kissed him? Yuanyuan doesn't even care... We're like siblings!"

"........."

"Alright, we still need to go shopping and buy some things. Don't ask me these questions again when you see me in the future, and I won't tell you anyway."

So the reporters then captured photos of Yang Che holding Gao Yuanyuan's right hand and Fan Bingbing's left arm from behind... There were also two bodyguards who rushed over.

Years later, this became a world-famous painting.

However, reporters now feel that the three are very open and honest!

Fan Bingbing deliberately held onto the arm because it was sore and she was in pain.

Then, many Hong Kong residents in Causeway Bay, as well as mainland tourists visiting Hong Kong, saw the three of them chatting and laughing while shopping.

The three of them also bought a lot of things, and Yang Che also bought some gifts for Li Xiangdong and Zhou Liren's families.

They returned to the hotel that evening.

Yang Che preferred lying down to sitting, and sitting to lying down, so he lay down on the bed.

Meanwhile, Gao Yuanyuan and Fan Bingbing started a cockfight in the outer room. The former was still in high spirits, while the latter was holding her breath.

"Gao Yuanyuan, do you have any shame? You've gained face, but what about substance?"

"I don't want to argue with you about this. I just want to ask you, were you the one who was with him last time?"

"Don't talk about that. I'm constantly on the go, changing locations every day. I spend half of my day on the road..."

Fan Bingbing started crying as she spoke, looking so aggrieved.

"My mom wants me to invite him over for dinner, what should I do?"

Gao Yuanyuan was taken aback. Seeing the chubby boy's confused and distressed expression, she felt a pang of sadness herself. After a two-second silence, she said, "Didn't you say you couldn't let it be exposed? Then just say I'm a shield, and you two go out together. Tell me, how could your parents not believe you?"

"Too."

Fan Bingbing responded with a sound of agreement, then sobbed twice more. She had truly reached a dead end, and the thought of it made her feel terrible. Hearing this explanation, she snapped out of her daze and looked at Gao Yuanyuan with gratitude.
