Quick Transmigration: The Yandere Boss Pretends to Be Well After He's Gone Mad

Chapter 323 High-Ranking Business Tycoon (Gong) VS Beautiful, Clueless, and Clear-Headed (Shou) [99]

After the New Year, Jiang Xiyu and Shen Jingtan spent two days with the old lady at the Shen residence. Later, Jiang Xiyu accompanied Shen Jingtan to pay New Year's visits to some important elders. Their relationship had already been made public in front of relatives and friends. However, due to Jiang Xiyu's profession, Shen Jingtan strictly forbade anyone to reveal the news.

The big news won't get out, but some gossip will inevitably spread.

The family members were all speculating about how long the relationship between the two could last. After all, they were men, and their social statuses were so different. Even if they were deeply in love now, their feelings might fade over time.

There are all sorts of speculations, but of course most people just think about it and no one dares to say it out loud. However, some younger people are ignorant and are fans of Jiang Xiyu, so they dare to anonymously post on the Internet.

The post roughly says, "I went home for Chinese New Year and found out that my elders' partner is a big star, and the worst part is that this big star is my idol!" Although the post doesn't directly reveal who it is, any familiar netizens or fans can probably guess the general idea based on some keywords in the post.

However, due to last year's rectification efforts, the Cyberspace Administration of China has been tasked with keeping a close eye on this matter.

So much so that within hours of the post being published, Shen Jingtan's secretary received the news and personally called to invite the younger man and his parents over. Shen Jingtan politely talked with them for a while. When they came out, the younger man seemed fine, but his parents felt a chill down their spines.

They initially thought it was no big deal, but when they saw how seriously Shen Jingtan took it, they all reminded their children not to be so reckless.

The online post was a mix of truth and fiction, giving it an unreal feel, like a celebrity romance novel coming to life. Because it was so much like a novel, the post was deleted before netizens could investigate further.

All subsequent related topics were banned by the platform. Gradually, the post disappeared like a stone dropped into the sea; even if it caused a ripple, it would be forgotten by netizens in an instant. On the platform, what was more common was that fans were afraid that Jiang Xiyu would fade into obscurity.

As Jiang Xiyu disappeared from the public eye for an extended period, just when everyone thought he would retire from the entertainment industry, the official Weibo account of 'TREASURE' suddenly announced that Jiang Xiyu would serve as the global brand ambassador for 'TREASURE'. This is the first brand ambassador officially announced by 'TREASURE' in China, and it was announced simultaneously by four major domestic and international platforms.

This endorsement by a top luxury brand best proves an artist's commercial value. In an instant, Jiang Xiyu, who had been silent in the entertainment industry for nearly a year, once again topped the trending searches, with many topics about "comeback" and "return" firmly locked on the trending search list.

However, Jiang Xiyu's Weibo post contained no further response beyond expressing gratitude.

Even this alone brought tears to the eyes of fans who had been waiting for Jiang Xiyu for almost a year.

The value of this endorsement goes without saying. Their willingness to choose Jiang Xiyu is firstly a slap in the face to other brands that terminated their contracts, and secondly, it also makes his fans proud.

After all, Jiang Xiyu was embroiled in a public opinion storm last year, and many endorsements or scripts would actively stay away to avoid risks. She was also bombarded by fans because she was involved with other actors. Now, the official announcement of 'TREASURE' is tantamount to dropping a major bombshell in the entertainment industry.

This bombshell not only silenced all the remaining negative opinions online, but also made capital in the industry begin to re-evaluate Jiang Xiyu's value.

There are many different opinions online about this. It's unknown how many celebrities who tried to distance themselves from Jiang Xiyu during the controversy will be dragged out by fans to say a few words. They are all speculating about who is most upset, because the official announcement of 'TREASURE' is quite outrageous for those artists who work hard in the entertainment industry.

Regarding this sudden official announcement, some netizens believe it's a sign that Jiang Xiyu will reappear on screen, while others say it's due to the support of his backers that he was able to sign with 'TREASURE'. Regardless of their speculations, it only proves that Jiang Xiyu's popularity in the entertainment industry has not diminished despite his silence. In the survival-of-the-fittest environment of the entertainment industry, Jiang Xiyu's ability to maintain such high popularity and top-notch resources is almost unparalleled.

Regardless of the online discussions and widespread rumors, Jiang Xiyu's Weibo account remained silent except for expressing gratitude. In response to other questions, Jiang Xiyu's company issued statements.

No matter how high the popularity in the entertainment industry is, it will eventually cool down one day.

During the period following the official announcement, Jiang Xiyu was busy filming the 'TREASURE' global high-end pearl advertisement overseas.

He wasn't completely unaware of what was happening online; whenever he had a spare moment, he would browse his fans' comments.

Seeing the company frequently issuing maintenance statements, Jiang Xiyu already had a guess in his mind. He knew from Sister Jiang that the company had been acquired, but he had never asked whether the acquirer was Shen Jingtan.

So later, when Shen Jingtan came to pick him up, Jiang Xiyu sat on his lap and asked him a question in a tactful way.

Shen Jingtan smiled noncommittally.

Jiang Xiyu felt reassured and, half-jokingly, put her arm around his neck and called him boss.

Shen Jingtan smiled and kissed him, indulging Jiang Xiyu's wishes with affection, saying, "I only cherish you."

He had paved the way, and as long as Jiang Xiyu walked it, the road would surely be filled with flowers and applause.

Jiang Xiyu knew.

He wasn't a pretentious person. Since the older man was willing to support his ideals, he certainly wouldn't let him down.

He admired Shen Jingtan and was constantly learning from her.

He believed that one day, he could become the second Shen Jingtan in his field, and stand beside him as an equal.

Even if this road takes a long time, it doesn't matter. He won't end things with Shen Jingtan; he'll just walk this road for the rest of his life.

Jiang Xiyu was full of fighting spirit. He suddenly smiled and responded to Shen Jingtan's kiss. On the way back to the hotel, he suddenly became interested.

He led Shen Jingtan out of the car, wanting to take a walk with him along the riverbank abroad.

Shen Jingtan's warm, large hand grasped his, and she lowered her eyes to ask, "Aren't you worried about being photographed?"

How could it be so easy to be photographed abroad?

Jiang Xiyu blinked, then smiled and hid inside his coat.

Shen Jingtan gently pulled him close, her expression tender.

Jiang Xiyu leaned against his chest obediently, her voice soft and teasing: "That way, you won't be afraid of being photographed."

Shen Jingtan chuckled softly and led him slowly away.

At this moment, Van Gogh's Starry Night seems to have come to life; apart from the cool moon, everything around is quiet and warm.

Like other couples taking a stroll, they relaxed and enjoyed the romance.

Jiang Xiyu wanted to take a souvenir photo, so she stopped, looked up at Shen Jingtan, and asked, "Uncle Shen, may I take a photo with you?"

Shen Jingtan smiled and said politely, "Of course, it's my honor."

Jiang Xiyu took out her phone and adjusted the angle for taking the picture.

However, he noticed through the camera that his hair was a bit messy because he was hiding under Shen Jingtan's coat, so he decided to tie it up again.

He never cut his hair because Shen Jingtan liked it very much.

However, sometimes long hair can also bring some troubles.

Jiang Xiyu wasn't paying attention, and the hair tie in her hand fell into the railing by the river.

Seeing this, Shen Jingtan pondered for a moment, then raised her hand and took Jiang Xiyu's hair.

Jiang Xiyu was still regretting her carelessness.

Shen Jingtan was already re-applying her sutures.

Jiang Xiyu paused for a moment, then gently made a request: "It should look nice."

Shen Jingtan simply gave a soft "hmm," but her movements became even gentler.

Finally, he used the sandalwood in his hand to give Jiang Xiyu a gift.

Loose and casual, with a free and easy aesthetic.

Jiang Xiyu asked, "Is it done?"

Shen Jingtan gently patted the back of his head and said softly, "You can take the picture now."

Jiang Xiyu turned around and hugged Shen Jingtan's waist with one hand. Just as he was about to stand on tiptoe and kiss her, Shen Jingtan lowered her head to cooperate.

The moment his lips touched Shen Jingtan's cheek, the image captured on his phone froze.

The last picture shows them kissing under the romantic moonlight.
