I Treat You as My Sister, But You Want to be My Wife?!

Chapter 228: Chapter 228 Fame Surges_1

Chen Yuting slept until eleven o’clock in the morning before waking up.

After waking up, she tried to send a WeChat message to Shen Dong to see if he had blocked her on WeChat.

She sent a smiley face and saw that it could be sent out, which immediately perked up Chen Yuting’s spirits.

She hurriedly sent another message, "Why did you block my phone number?"

At that moment, Shen Dong was preparing to board a plane.

Shen Dong replied, "I didn’t block you."

Chen Yuting, "Then why couldn’t I get through to you when I called you yesterday morning after ten?"

Shen Dong, "I was on the plane then, is there something you need?"

Shen Dong didn’t want to talk too much with Chen Yuting; if there was something important, he would discuss it, otherwise he didn’t want to chat.

Chen Yuting, "I just wanted to ask, you’ve been registered for so long with my sister, why haven’t you held a wedding?"

Shen Dong, "There’s no rush, we’ll do it when the time comes."

Chen Yuting, "Then why haven’t you two started a family?"

Shen Dong, "We are still young; we’ll think about children after the wedding."

Chen Yuting, "Oh."

She felt that what her mother had said was right, Shen Dong was very likely waiting for her.

All that about waiting for the right time to hold the wedding and having children after, those must be just excuses.

He was probably using her sister as a substitute, hoping to get back together with her.

This made her feel a lot better.

If Shen Dong knew Chen Yuting thought this way, he would probably ask her what kind of thought process that was, and which eye of hers saw him waiting for her.

...

Hai City.

After Shen Dong and Han Deming’s group left the airport, they went their separate ways.

Shen Dong returned to Dongyan Media.

First, he visited Chen Yuyan’s office, spent some time being affectionate, expressing his longing, and then he went to Wang Jingpeng’s office.

He explained the situation with Jiamei Company and asked Wang Jingpeng to formulate a public relations strategy to mitigate the impact of the negative news.

Afterward, Shen Dong made calls to Zhu Zhiyong at Jiahua Film and Television, Yan Wenlin at Qianda Film and Television, and many other responsible persons of video websites.

Not only that, but he also called Wu Jin and Xu Zheng.

The message was the same for all: to eliminate the negative news impact associated with Jiamei Company and promote its products.

He made full use of available resources.

In the evening, the hosts under Dongyan Guild all released a video.

The video was Jiamei Company’s response to the negative news, claiming to have been smeared and that Jiamei Company was the victim.

In the video, they also included product test reports with stamps from official authentication institutions.

Shortly after Dongyan Guild’s hosts released the video, many celebrities and directors in the entertainment industry started sharing it.

Yang Mi, Liu Sisi, Wu Jin, Xu Zheng...

These stars dominate a significant part of the entertainment industry.

...

After having dinner, Shen Dong and Chen Yuyan sat on the balcony to enjoy the view of the Pu River.

Seeing so many stars and directors sharing the video, Shen Dong felt quite satisfied.

Just then, Shen Dong’s phone began to ring.

As the mobile phone was on the small table next to him and Chen Yuyan was closer, Shen Dong asked, "Can you see who’s calling?"

Chen Yuyan picked it up and looked, "It’s an unknown number."

Shen Dong said, "You answer it for me."

Chen Yuyan, "Is it really okay for me to answer your phone?"

Shen Dong laughed, "It’s fine, just answer it."

After thinking for a bit, Chen Yuyan said, "I’ll put it on speaker."

Then, she answered the call and turned on the speakerphone.

"Hello, may I speak with Mr. Shen?"

The voice of a middle-aged man came through the phone, sounding very polite.

"Hello, my husband is currently unable to answer the phone, so he asked me to take the call. Who is this, and what can I do for you?" Chen Yuyan asked.

"Mrs. Shen, hello, I am Tao Guohao, the property manager of Century Garden. Our property management holds an annual gathering for homeowners, and this year’s gathering will be held on Saturday, the twenty-ninth of this month. May I ask if you have time to attend?" Tao Guohao said respectfully.

Century Garden is a high-end neighborhood, inhabited by those who are either rich or prestigious.

Especially the owners of the large apartments.

For these homeowners, Tao Guohao made it a point to personally confirm their attendance each year.

"A homeowners’ gathering? What is it like?" Chen Yuyan asked.

They had moved in during the latter half of last year and hadn’t made friends in the neighborhood, so she really hadn’t heard about this event and didn’t know what it would be like.

"Mrs. Shen, the gathering is simply an occasion where everyone comes together to have a meal and chat, to get to know one another, and make friends," Tao Guohao explained.

Chen Yuyan looked at Shen Dong, who nodded in approval, so she said, "Alright, if my husband and I have the time, we will attend."

She deliberately didn’t commit fully.

She did have the time, but the same couldn’t necessarily be said for Shen Dong.

Shen Dong had been rather busy lately.

Shen Dong nodded in satisfaction with her response; it was a good one.

It left him room to maneuver.

However, if he was available, he would still like to attend.

He knew that several homeowners in Century Garden were quite influential.

And the other residents also held no low statuses.

Who knows, there might be a time when he would need to call on these people for a favor.

Attending this gathering could help expand one’s social connections.

Making more acquaintances is always beneficial.

"Okay, I’ll add Mr. Shen as a friend and send over the address for the gathering," said Tao Guohao.

After ending the call, Shen Dong’s phone promptly received a friend request from Tao Guohao.

Chen Yuyan chose to accept it and soon received the details of the time and location from Tao Guohao.

The next day.

The video from Jiamei Company shot up to trending.

Many of Jiamei Company’s customers, sympathizing with the company over the slander of their products, condemned the detractors.

These individuals were loyal customers of Jiamei Company.

Seeing so many celebrities sharing the video from Jiamei Company, others were surprised and started to inquire what Jiamei Company was and what products they offered.

The awareness of Jiamei Company and its products greatly increased.

The sales volume of their products in online stores also grew significantly.

Two days later, taking advantage of the trending topic, Shen Dong launched a live streaming sales event for Jiamei Company’s cosmetics.

By the end of the day, total sales had broken through two billion.

Even Shen Dong was somewhat shocked by the high sales figures.

It seems that the prior publicity had indeed played a significant role.

All those celebrities weren’t just for show.

Many fans of the celebrities, upon seeing their idols endorse Jiamei Company’s products and learning that there was a discounted live streaming sales event, rushed into the live stream to place their orders.

Shen Qiuyue, upon learning of these results, was so excited that she couldn’t sleep that night.

In the past, the annual sales of Jiamei Company didn’t even reach two billion.

Now, in collaboration with the Dongyan Guild for a live streaming sales event, they hit two billion in just one day.

She now completely understood the power of Shen Dong’s Dongyan Guild.

And she was even more aware of how formidable Shen Dong’s social connections were.

She felt fortunate that her company had been acquired by Shen Dong rather than the Lijing Group.

This gave her even more confidence in the future development of Jiamei Company.
