Chapter 431: Don’t take Down the Trending Search
Translator: _Min_ |
Confusion etched on Gu Dai’s face as she asked, “trending online?”
Lowering her gaze to the tablet, she saw a series of photos featuring herself and Su Ci. However, due to the angle of the shot, only their profiles were captured.
The person who posted the photos wrote: I happened to pass by an advertising shoot today and saw the recently popular Fu Nan. I wanted to sneak a couple of photos, but I was drawn to a staff member nearby and couldn’t resist capturing the moment.
Upon seeing the photos, netizens buzzed with comments.
“My goodness, even the staff are this attractive now?”
“I want them to be together.”
“Even though it’s just their profiles, I can imagine how good-looking they must be, especially the way the man looks at the woman so tenderly, and she looks back just as softly. I can almost feel the harmonious atmosphere between them.”
Amidst the fervent discussions of the netizens, the photo swiftly climbed the trending searches, even breaking into the top three.
Gu Dai shook her head in resignation, unable to comprehend the whims of modern netizens. At that moment, she was merely fixing her hair, let alone exchanging tender glances.
Zheng Ming inquired, “Chairwoman Gu, do you want me to take down this trending search?”
After looking at the tablet for a while, Gu Dai shook her head. “Let it be. The netizens think Su Ci and I are just staff. If we take it down, they will start speculating wildly, leading to other implications. Besides, this trending search seems to be benefiting Fu Nan.”
Zheng Ming, puzzled, asked, “Beneficial for Fu Nan?”
Gu Dai nodded. “Many people learned about Fu Nan through this photo and are now watching the variety show, which has expanded his influence.”
Zheng Ming picked up the tablet and realized she was right.
He couldn’t help but inwardly admire Gu Dai’s strong insight, no wonder she was able to rapidly develop the Gu Group.
The impact of a trending search was significant, leading to automatic system pushes even to those who weren’t actively looking for it.
When Zhao Xuan saw the photo, he jolted in shock.
He could already imagine President Song radiating a cold aura upon seeing the trending search. He hurriedly strode into the hospital room, intending to prevent Song Ling from seeing the photo on his phone or tablet.
However, to his surprise, he found Song Ling already holding his phone, with the photo of Gu Dai and another man clearly on the screen.
Zhao Xuan froze, his voice trembling as he said, “President Song, don’t be angry. There might be some misunderstanding here, Miss Gu Dai she…”
Song Ling interrupted him coldly, “I’m not angry.”
Zhao Xuan felt the unceasing chill around him and internally screamed in disbelief.
Song Ling’s gaze was fixed on the man in the photo, gritting her teeth, “Investigate. Find out everything about this man immediately!”
Zhao Xuan hurriedly complied, “Yes.”
Song Ling’s gaze drifted into the void. The moment he saw the man, he had an intuition; he was this man’s replacement.
Even though only half of the man’s face was visible, he instantly realized their striking resemblance.
Song Ling let out a cold laugh, never imagining that he would one day find himself in such a situation.
Upon entering the hospital room, Zhou Ci joked, “What’s with this look, President Song? Did the photo hit your confidence that hard?”
Song Ling looked at Zhou Ci and replied coldly, “What are you doing here?”
Zhou Ci sat down on the adjacent bed. “I heard you were injured, so I came to see you.”
Song Ling questioned, “To see me, or to mock me?”
Zhou Ci pondered for a moment before answering seriously, “Both.”
After dropping that statement, he added with a laugh, “Never mind, I won’t tease you. But I am curious, you weren’t this despondent when I said I liked Gu Dai. Why the loss of confidence now?”
Song Ling lowered his eyes, replying gruffly, “Because Gu Dai would never like you, so I don’t need to worry.”
Zhou Ci felt a sting at that, but he was more curious about another matter. “So, the man in the photo has shaken you this much because you think he could win over Gu Dai? How can you be so sure?”
Song Ling ignored Zhou Ci.
After all, he couldn’t reveal that he had been considered a replacement for years, while this man might be the one Gu Dai truly liked.
Seeing that Song Ling wouldn’t speak, Zhou Ci gave up trying to probe further. He consoled, “They’re not together yet, right? You still have a chance. Heal quickly and try to pursue Gu Dai.. Maybe she’ll end up with you in the future?”
