Chapter 472 - Get Together.
Chapter 472: Get Together.
The next day, he logged into the major news media websites with his phone. The result surprised Xiao Luo: Su Li’s scandal had resulted in their favor. In addition, there were more and more voices supporting Su Li, covering up those negative comments.
— “Goddess Su is very genuine, unlike some stars. When she gets married, she admits it, and lies to hide it. Goddess Su is different. To us fans, she really treats us as friends, not as monkeys. I support you, my Goddess.”
— “Yes, even if Goddess Su is married, she is still my Goddess because she really treats us well.”
— “Stars are also people, and they also get married. Goddess Su has reached the proper age, so marriage is normal, and she can admit it calmly. This is very commendable.”
— “In any case, bless Goddess Su!”
— “Goddess, you have to be happy, we are waiting for your little baby to be born, hee hee…”
In just one night, Su Li’s Weibo homepage flooded with well wishes and positive comments, as well as an increase of more than eighty million fans. This was ten million more than Su Li’s previous record.
Xiao Luo was surprised. Originally, he thought that Su Li would fall from the height of her career and never recover. He didn’t expect this incident to turn around for the better, it turned out that every cloud indeed had a silver lining. She had become more popular than ever before.
He then went to Su Li’s apartment. Chai Zhiying and Luo Pingxiang were very excited because of the change of the public’s opinion, on the other hand, Su Li was still emotionless as ever. As if she didn’t care at all, there was neither sadness nor joy that could be seen on her face.
“Yesterday, when you admitted that you were married to the public, did you already think that there would be such a result?” Xiao Luo couldn’t help but ask her.
Su Li took a bite of the breakfast prepared by Aunt Li and replied, “Not 100% sure.”
Hmm?
This woman really thought of it in advance!
Xiao Luo was very surprised. Suddenly, his impression of Su Li rose in his heart. Both he and Chai Zhiying felt that denying it would get the best results, but she did just the opposite, and it turned out that her approach was correct.
“I have thought about denying it, but there have been too many examples to prove that denial does not have much substantive effect. Sooner or later, people will dig out the evidence of my marriage, so it is better to admit it directly.”
Su Li’s lips lightly parted as she explained, “Because there are too many people disclaiming their marriage, my surprise confession was seen as clean, and then harvesting their favor. It was only that I was not 100% sure if it was feasible. Just like what you had said, marriage will indeed make a female artist’s popularity lessen.”
“So you were gambling?” Xiao Luo asked.
Su Li nodded. “Hmm.”
Xiao Luo followed, “Aren’t you afraid of losing the bet?”
“I have already prepared for the worst, I will concentrate on running Sumir in the future.” Su Li shrugged.
When he heard this, Xiao Luo smiled. He thought for a moment before saying, “When I was still in Jiang City, I heard that Luo Fang is going to enter Xia Hai this year. Your Sumir and Luo Fang are both engaged in the baking industry, and the two are bound to compete. Have you ever thought about it…”
“Are you worried that my Sumir will be defeated by Luo Fang?” Su Li interrupted.
Xiao Luo coughed, “That’s not what I mean…”
“Hah! If Luo Fang really dares to come then I promise that they’ll lose miserably!”
It was Chai Zhiying who spoke, not Su Li. She held her fist, full of confidence and acted like a shoo-in.
Su Li glanced at Xiao Luo and added, “I admit that Luo Fang is the largest baking company in Jiang City, but it will not have a market in Xia Hai.”
“Why?” Xiao Luo asked curiously.
Su Li took a sip of hot milk, put it down, and wiped her mouth gracefully with a paper towel. “The consistency of Xia Hai people is very high. They are already used to spending in my Sumir stores, and they have identified this brand of mine as a staple. In the past, there was a company like Luo Fang who came into Xia Hai and wanted a share in the industry, but after two months, it closed all its doors and retreated.”
“Do you mean that if Luo Fang dares to come in, it will definitely fail?” Xiao Luo asked.
“If the cakes they produce are very novel and unique, I think it will last longer than the last company.” Su Li said with a touch of deep and remote coldness.
Xiao Luo didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, thinking that this woman was too confident. “Oh, I see, alright let’s eat breakfast.”
Saying so, he picked up a pair of chopsticks, and picked up a poached egg and ate it.
“Why did you suddenly ask me these questions?” asked Su Li who found it strange.
“Nothing, just curious.”
Xiao Luo then casually prevaricated, “I wonder why you let me go to work in Shen Qingyan’s company when there is Sumir under your banner.”
Upon hearing this, Su Li’s face turned unhappy. “Do you really want to be identified as a soft-rice eater?”
She was really angry in her heart. This guy was still thinking about her company. He was a man with little to no ambition. Couldn’t he make a vigorous career by himself?
“Dad, isn’t soft-rice just soft rice?” The little girl was puzzled.
“Ughmm… It’s different.” Xiao Luo earnestly motioned with his hand as he explained.
Su Bei scratched her head, her little face was full of doubts.
“Soft-rice is soft-rice, and soft rice is soft rice. The former has the meaning of slandering people, while the latter refers to the rice we usually eat.” Xiao Luo continued to explain.
“Haha~”
Looking at his serious explanation to Su Bei, Su Glass couldn’t help laughing. When Xiao Luo turned to her, she immediately withdrew her smile and returned to her usual coldness.
……
……
In the evening, Xiao Luo went out because Guan Tong called him for a get together.
The two were old classmates and, technically, colleagues. Of course, Xiao Luo would give him face and agree. Plus, he also wanted to go out for some air.
He drove to the address where Guan Tong had provided. Xiao Luo then easily identified Guan Tong standing outside a bar. He was wearing very fashionable clothes. Although he was broad-waisted and fat, he was a little handsome.
“Xiao Luo you good soul, you are late!” Seeing that Xiao Luo arrived, Guan Tong greeted him…
Xiao Luo knew that this was his pet phrase (soul this, soul that) and didn’t rebuke him. Xiao Luo looked up at the bar. “You didn’t ask me to accompany you to a bar, did you?”
“Good soul, how can you say that! I am standing here and have not entered the bar yet, I specifically waited for you.”
Guan Tong slammed Xiao Luo’s chest and admonished. “You are so close with Old Zhang (Zhang Dashan) that pervert. So don’t pretend to be pure with me.”
“……”
Xiao Luo was speechless. His relationship with Zhang Dashan was indeed good, but he didn’t go in with Zhang Dashan in this respect.
