Chapter 284: Chapter 285: No Flowers Stay in Bloom for a Hundred Days

Zhang Dayou rubbed his temples and said in a deep voice, "The Weibo post that Zhang You liked is too easily misinterpreted; there are already passersby bundling Zhang You and Jinxia together, thinking they are a couple, just not publicly."

"At the time of the like, I was still somewhat unable to discern, but now they’ve even coincidentally ended up on the same reality show. If Zhang You didn’t do it on purpose, that’s some serious fate."

"Whether intentional or not, participating in a variety show together will become a gimmick; if I were Zhang You’s team and wanted to heat up Zhang You’s popularity, I definitely wouldn’t miss this opportunity."

Zhang Dayou paused in his speech, pondered for a while, then proposed a solution:

"Zhang You has developed very well this year, his popularity is soaring, and in the singer circle, he already has a foothold among the upper echelons of the second-tier singers. Compared to He Jinxia, Zhang You’s popularity is a bit stronger."

"If Zhang You’s team wants to hype things up with He Jinxia, they might as well go with the flow and hype it up together. Both being second-tier and hot new stars, it’s hard to say who benefits from whom. If it’s hyped well, it’s good for both."

Although it was Zhang You who first intentionally led the public into misinterpreting his relationship with He Jinxia, looking like he was the one taking the initiative, this doesn’t mean he’s the weaker party.

Now, in terms of popularity, Zhang You is definitely hotter than He Jinxia, but who knows about the future; for performers, their work is the best asset.

Singers naturally need to produce songs, actors need to bring out film and TV works.

According to market trends, singers generally fade faster than actors, and actors have more room to rise and higher commercial value.

Zhang You wanting to create buzz with He Jinxia may also be a way of hedging his bets.

No one can be fortunate forever, nor can flowers stay in bloom endlessly; no one can guarantee years of fame.

Besides, this kind of hype doesn’t mean the two have to start dating; it’s just selling ambiguity. As long as neither side responds directly, just keep everyone in suspense.

When the netizens get tired of being strung along, by that time, all the benefits like topics, heat, and popularity will be reaped. Then make a serious statement saying they are just friends, tricking the netizens, so simple.

Tony also expressed his views at this meeting, "In the fashion circle, if celebrities play up the ambiguity, it creates more buzz; female celebrities who manage their scandals well are quite popular."

As for the financial advisor Luo Zhanming, he didn’t offer any opinions; these matters were outside his area of expertise, and he didn’t understand them.

He came only to observe the excitement, to understand the situation of his employer, and to update his own database.

Cheng Xiaohua looked around and, seeing everyone seemingly inclined toward hyping up a scandal, couldn’t help but mutter, "Jinxia certainly wouldn’t like to hype up a scandal. Doesn’t she have a boyfriend? What if someone misunderstands and it causes them to break up?"

Luo You’s expression changed slightly, and he frowned tightly; he had almost forgotten that He Jinxia had a boyfriend!

Zhang Dayou and the others were hearing about Jinxia having a boyfriend for the first time. They exhibited gossipy tendencies comparable to women, and pressed Cheng Xiaohua with questions:

"Jinxia is in a relationship? With which male celebrity?"

"Which little scoundrel has run off with Jinxia?"

"How long have they been dating?"

"When did it start?"

...

Cheng Xiaohua hadn’t yet come back to her senses when she was overwhelmed by a deluge of questions, making her head ache.

"Hold on, stop! Stop! I don’t know anything, Jinxia didn’t tell me, I only know she’s in a relationship, nothing more!" Cheng Xiaohua exclaimed.

Zhang Dayou looked regretful, "I didn’t expect it to be a male star from the circle, only another male star would choose to hide."

Tony also expressed his regret, "Yeah, I have no idea which damned kid it is. Wait, you’ve always been by Jinxia’s side, haven’t you seen her getting close to any male stars?"

Cheng Xiaohua, seeing Tony suddenly approach, was so startled that she stepped back a few paces and hurriedly shook her head:

"No, really no, she’s only done three films! The male lead in the first one was with the supporting actress, and there was no role for a male supporting actor; in the second film the male and female leads were involved, there was a male supporting actor, but Jinxia has already clarified a few days ago, her relationship with Luo Dingxin is just friends; as for the third one, it’s all women, no men."

Tony frowned, analyzing, "Then by that reasoning, it’s doubtful her boyfriend is an actor. Are you sure she’s only been in contact with these few male actors?"

Cheng Xiaohua nodded subconsciously, but then a flash of insight struck her mind, and she thought of someone!

Wait, Jinxia also has scenes with Sheng Yan, could it be... Sheng Yan?

Cheng Xiaohua shook her head, dismissing the unreliable idea. Not to mention the huge gap between them in the entertainment circle, just to talk about their nearness, Sheng Yan and He Jinxia are relatives, how could they be together?!

However, for some reason, looking back from start to finish, the atmosphere between them seemed a little bit off...

"Cheng Xiaohua."

A gloomy voice sounded by her ear, and when she looked up, Tony’s mixed-race handsome face was almost pressed against hers, his eyes bulging as if he were a ghost.

Cheng Xiaohua screamed in fright and stepped back again.

In her haste to retreat, she nearly stumbled.

Before Cheng Xiaohua could recover, Tony spoke in a low voice, "I’ll say it again, you’re Jinxia’s assistant. You know everything about Jinxia’s closeness with any male star. Are you hiding something?"

Cheng Xiaohua was taken aback, thinking Tony might have known something.

But then she dismissed the idea, no, impossible. If Tony knew about Jinxia and Sheng Yan’s relationship, he definitely wouldn’t think in that direction.

Cheng Xiaohua swallowed nervously and shook her head, "No, besides work, Jinxia doesn’t tell me a lot of personal things."

She tried to convince Tony, "You know that I’m the person closest to Jinxia. If Jinxia doesn’t want me to know who she’s dating, it would be easy for her to keep it from me."

Tony’s brow showed a hint of thought as he murmured, "That’s true..."

Then, changing the subject, he looked straight at Cheng Xiaohua, "Why did you suddenly zone out just when I was repeating my question to you?"

Cheng Xiaohua didn’t know whether to admire Tony’s intuition that was almost like a woman’s sixth sense or to be annoyed that he kept pressing the issue.

She looked around and saw that the others had also stopped pondering and were staring straight at her, her forehead breaking out in a sweat from urgency.

Cheng Xiaohua didn’t know that Luo You already knew about Sheng Yan’s relationship with He Jinxia, and she thought she was the only one in the know.

Given Sheng Yan’s status, he certainly wouldn’t want his relationship with Jinxia to be spoken of.

Although everyone present was on her side, one could never guarantee that some might betray her in the future.

If just one person were to regret it and leak out the news that Jinxia and Sheng Yan were relatives, it would be a severe blow to Jinxia’s career.

So, they absolutely couldn’t find out!
