Reaching the age of thirty, my income randomly doubled-Chapter 677 - 487: Another Choice

Chapter 677: Chapter 487: Another Choice

There really were numerous troublesome matters in the family, but none of them affected Chen Pingsheng.

After Liu Fen gave Chen Fan some bad advice with her so-called wisdom.

In less than three days, over thirty girls had signed up.

The reasons varied, some were forced by their parents.

Others were selling themselves to save their sick fathers, basically willing to marry anyone who could cover the medical expenses.

Chen Pingsheng often heard villagers say that finding a bride was becoming increasingly difficult.

...

Not only was the bride price high, but even women who were divorced once or twice could afford to be choosy.

A family needed to accumulate wealth over three generations just to marry a normal bride.

With this situation, these first-time marrying men still had to be scrutinized intensely.

People say there is a shortage of women, but it’s only in the big cities that one realizes there are surplus women everywhere.

As for why these leftover women are unwilling to marry?

They claim it’s for love, but in reality, it’s because the money is not sufficient.

Look at Chen Fan, such an idiot, who after offering several million, saw the number of women signing up increase daily.

Perhaps it’s incredibly ironic.

A novice female intern journalist, after noticing this news about an idiot buying a child for marriage online.

Immediately wanted to interview and turn this into a classic example of societal issues.

She believed that reporting this would definitely cause a stir on the internet.

Yao Xin decided to just do it and even wrote a preliminary report before this.

“Idiot Buys Son, Fake Marriage for Three Million?”

Because this initial report was just a warm-up and wasn’t disseminated through official news outlets or company channels.

Even a giant like Tengying Group failed to notice it immediately.

Many people believe this situation is a sad commentary on today’s world, and a strange joke on love.

Countless people see this as the ultimate irony, a naked representation of money-driven materialism.

Look at the countryside nowadays, nobody even talks about getting married.

To set up a blind date, you first need to get your son a decent car.

The first question at the blind date is whether you have a house!

New n𝙤vel chapters are published on freeweɓnøvel.com.

Adding these two things, you need at least half a million as a base.

Plus the bride price, and gold jewelry, etc.

Just think about it, how many rural families can come up with half a million cash savings.

College grads, let alone finding jobs, even marrying a decent bride is extremely challenging.

In such tough times, people’s moods are already suppressed and weighed down.

Suddenly, Magic City exploded with news of an idiot seeking a blind date – call it anything but a blind date!

It’s straightforwardly buying a bride with money, okay?

If no one had signed up, it would have been fine, but there were so many women volunteering eagerly.

Under such a post, countless people’s anger poured out.

Even the intern female reporter did not expect that just a prelude article could be shared tens of thousands of times overnight.

There were more than fifty thousand comments.

She was on her way to becoming hugely popular, and this journalist even thought about fueling the fire to provoke some negative debate.

But then she suddenly thought, what if she took this to the newspaper?

Could her own news company immediately promote her from an intern to a full-time employee?

It’s the 21st century, who reads newspapers?

Everyone reads news on their phones.

The female journalist believed she was definitely getting promoted, and after arriving at the company, the editor-in-chief responsible for her team thought so too.

He even believed she was a born journalist, but what he did not expect was.

Lin Qiunan’s car had already arrived downstairs at their building, and she wouldn’t go looking for some little journalist or even an editor.

Instead, she went straight to the owner of the newspaper, which was Hyundai Media.

The meaning was very clear, to immediately revoke the article.

The name Chen Fan was unknown to outsiders, so no one could connect him with Tengying Group.

This was where Liu Fen had not considered thoroughly, saying you are going on a blind date but then posting a matrimonial ad online.

Isn’t that causing trouble?

One night passed, and it was not until the next workday morning that Tengying Group intercepted the article.

Probably no one inside thought the article being reported had anything to do with Chen Pingsheng.

Otherwise, they would have been notified before the report.

Why do you think you can’t see news about many magnates’ children or various related news online?

It’s not because there’s no traffic, but because these people have the means to control public channels of communication.

But if this female journalist hadn’t sent out the news under her own account, it wouldn’t have been exposed at all.

There’s no complicated reason; it’s simply because Pingsheng wouldn’t allow it.

Even when Er Piya became an internet celebrity, news about her rarely appeared online.

It’s just that comments are a bit more plentiful, as almost every major online news platform knows that the Er Congming account belongs to his daughter.

When reporting the news, they must be careful, and avoid involving any negative influence or even marketing.

The backlash when Chen Fan’s incident broke was exactly because of its negative influence, right?

By the time Lin Qiunan returned, Pingsheng knew the matter had been resolved.

Even the Hyundai media would directly fire that intern.

This is actually quite unfair, but it also serves as a warning to the industry.

News about the big players isn’t easy to report.

Of course, the most crucial point is that the female intern had no idea that the Chen Fan she reported on was his own cousin.

With three times the guts, she wouldn’t dare to write such an article, let alone directly posting it online.

The Chen Fan incident was simple, but what Pingsheng holds isn’t simple at all.

Of course, its impact on him is only so big.

It’s just sacrificing one of Tengying Entertainment’s top celebrities.

He handed over the documents to Lin Qiunan, perhaps out of a spirit of nurturing talent, instinctively wanting to test her.

“What do you think we should do about this?”

Lin Qiunan picked up the documents, shocked.

This was a set of threatening documents, subtly reminding throughout.

It wasn’t about anything else; it was about a veteran favorite superstar male artist in Tengying Entertainment.

This male artist could also be said to have bloomed late in life.

He only rose to fame uncontrollably in middle age.

Director, host, scriptwriter, he succeeded in it all.

Tengying Entertainment still had three major dramas relying on him, none of which had yet aired.

And this so-called national uncle, while garnering countless admirers,

Had been maintaining a mistress, who was an unremarkable female artist, Little Third.

Little Third was quite greedy, repeatedly demanding huge sums from Xiubo, until he tired of it and his wife found out.

Once Little Third returned from abroad, the two immediately had her sent to the police station for fraud.

As the saying goes, no walls are impenetrable, and this affair was quickly discovered by a rival company of Tengying Entertainment.

Their intent in offering the information was crystal clear.

Not mentioning money at all, but obviously wanting it.

Exposing the so-called national uncle would definitely ruin him.

But this wouldn’t benefit them in any tangible way and would even offend a host of financial moguls.

Rather than doing so, they might as well demand a hush fee from Tengying Entertainment.

After all, you pinned so many big projects on him, if such news broke out, it would be just like when he beat up Huayi brothers initially.

The stock price of Tengying Entertainment could plummet by tens of billions in just a few days.

Works by disgraced artists can’t be aired on any platform.

So, this situation is very troubling.

Now, the national uncle realized the gravity of his situation, his vulnerability seized upon.

He pleaded with Bai Xin for three days, but Pingsheng didn’t see him.

He only glanced over these documents in his office.

Honestly, if he wanted to suppress the matter, he definitely could.

The question is, does he want to suppress it?

Lin Qiunan actually knew that once the expose material reached the top boss’s desk, it translated to entering the negotiation stage.

If they can’t offer a satisfying amount to the other party, the documents will appear on various front pages and headlines tomorrow.

A common unknowing fact is that the major news they can see,

Is merely the result of multilayer screening and various negotiations.

Like this news, if it were exposed.

This national uncle would certainly be blacklisted, leaving no chance for him to overturn his situation in the entertainment industry.

And the productions Tengying Entertainment invested in him would all be doomed.

Ironically, his niece still thought of acting; billions invested, and if she offended someone or a cast member made a mistake.

That money would essentially be thrown into water.
