Chapter 111: What's Wrong with Young People Being Vigorous?

~10 min read 1,821 words

"Yes."

Zhou Yi nodded: "That is why I told you not to worry about how happily they jump. In the end, I will list them all together. The more media outlets on the list, the more shocking the impact will be."

"... Truly a scholar."

Or rather, he suffered from having read little.

Comparing the two, Qian Jiang, who dropped out of junior high and started working in society, felt for the first time that the skills he had honed during the golden age of the Xiangjiang music scene were somewhat unsuitable for the formal stage.

Or rather, the solution he was planning was relatively less formal than Zhou Yi's.

If his proposed solution was to take a crooked path, completing the promotion on this side of the Treasure Island with the least cost possible, then Zhou Yi was to crush forward with overwhelming momentum, making it clear he was ready to fight with real weapons.

"Indeed, Warner is standing behind you; you have the capital to play like this."

With his thinking liberated, Qian Jiang slapped his forehead and smiled frankly: "Mine. I'm used to the petty games in Xiangjiang; my mind couldn't turn around in time."

"It's just that we can play like this once on this side of the Treasure Island."

Zhou Yi smiled, not caring much: "After all, the situation here is special, and I don't need to consider gains or losses."

"Alright, then I'll go discuss it with Zhou Jianhui."

Imagining that scene, Qian Jiang excitedly slapped his thigh, got up decisively, and was about to find Zhou Jianhui.

Since it involved a lawsuit concerning Zhou Yi, even as his manager he couldn't make the decision on his own; he had to consult the company. After all, the legal team consuming time and energy was provided by Warner; if Zhou Yi handled it himself, he might not release an album this year.

If this went well, the sales of Zhou Yi's second album on the Treasure Island might not only not decline but, compared to his debut album, could have an explosive sales start.

Watching the manager leave excitedly, Zhou Yi, having finished tidying the lounge, went downstairs, got into the driver's car, and returned to the house Warner had rented for him.

However, next to the parking space in the residential compound, he actually saw... the car of Sun Yanzi's driver?

Wasn't Sun Yanzi still at the company?

Feeling strange, Zhou Yi waved goodbye to the driver, took the elevator upstairs in confusion, opened the door with his key, and immediately saw the figures sitting on the living room sofa drinking tea and chatting—

"Uncle Sun?"

Sun Yanzi's father, Sun Yaohong, with his Mediterranean hairstyle, exuded an aura belonging to the strong.

"You're back. Your Uncle Sun knew we were returning to the mainland today and came specifically to see us off."

Zhao Ping, his mother, who was packing luggage, heard the voice, pushed a suitcase out of the bedroom, and said cheerfully.

The elderly couple, who had originally just wanted to see their son win awards in the Treasure Island and bring glory to the family, never expected to make a friend with a decent personality here.

And that friend was the father of their son's company colleague and the rumored girlfriend in the newspapers.

Although they had not interacted much with Sun Yanzi, judging from Sun Yaohong's speech and character, Sun Yanzi, as his daughter, should have a decent personality.

"Your father and I have been fishing buddies these past few days. Since they are returning, I naturally had to come see them off."

Sun Yaohong, reaching middle age and inevitably having a fishing hobby, found an opening to start a conversation with Zhou Yaoguo on the subject of fishing.

From their values, conduct, and character, the brief contact left Zhou Yi's parents with a clearly favorable impression on Sun Yaohong.

Although they had not read much, the steadiness and experience tempered by years of life satisfied Sun Yaohong, especially since they had raised a top student from Peking University like Zhou Yi.

He did not want his daughter, if she were to marry Zhou Yi in the future, to suffer under the in-laws' temper.

"I see. Then why don't you and Mom stay a few more days? Your visas can be extended; I can have company staff help."

"No need, no need, don't make it so troublesome."

When discussing the issue of staying longer, Zhou Yaoguo waved his hands repeatedly: "Your mother and I are not quite adapted to life here; treating it as a trip is fine."

"... Alright then."

Zhou Yi, who had returned specifically to see his parents off at the airport, scratched his head, nodded politely to Sun Yaohong again to bid farewell, then turned and went into the room to help his mother pack another suitcase—

"Mom, let me help you..."

Half an hour later, Zhou Yi, who had helped carry the luggage downstairs, loaded the suitcases into the car. After bidding farewell to Sun Yaohong, who had also come downstairs to see them off, he finally had the driver drive to the airport.

The car driven by Sun Yanzi's driver also followed closely behind Zhou Yi's driver's car out of the residential compound. The paparazzi who had been lying in wait outside the compound immediately pressed the shutter—

"Editor-in-Chief! Big event! I captured a big event!

"Sun Yanzi's car appeared in the residential compound where Zhou Yi lives! It is suspected that they have progressed to the stage of meeting the male side's parents!"

The paparazzi, feeling he was about to get rich, was extremely excited.

This was solid, first-hand material.

He couldn't get into the high-end residential compound where Zhou Yi rented, so he could only hide outside and take photos. Originally, he just wanted to see if this person would do anything like ordering takeout, after all, he was a young guy with plenty of fire.

But instead of waiting for takeout, he ended up waiting for Sun Yanzi's driver's car!

"What did you say?! Come back and develop it immediately! Quick!"

The editor-in-chief, sitting steadily in his office, shot up from his boss's chair, slapped the table, and said excitedly: "Your bonus this month is doubled!"

This was an exclusive scoop!

On May 9, the day before Warner's celebration party, a newspaper in the Treasure Island published an explosive piece of news—

"Sun Yanzi Suspected to Have Met Zhou Yi's Parents! Warner's Twin Stars May Be Nearing Their Wedding Date!"

The accompanying photo showed Zhou Yi's driver's car and Sun Yanzi's driver's car driving out one after the other from the high-end residential compound where Zhou Yi rented!

In just one day, because of this extremely eye-catching explosive news, the newspaper editor-in-chief, whose office kept receiving orders for additional stock through various channels, had his mouth crooked with joy.

The fans who bought this newspaper instantly erupted into a quarrel—

"Impossible! Impossible! My Zi could never be involved with Zhou Yi, this heartless scoundrel!"

"Yanzi is confused! Zhou Yi is too heartless; even filming a music video can generate a huge pile of rumors; you can't control him!"

"Others are a perfect match of talent and beauty; what use is your opposition?!"

"Wait, where is my Elva? Is my Elva already tired of by that scumbag?"

"Forget Elva, it's all nonsense..."

In the school, among the young group just entering the workplace, regarding this sudden revelation of meeting the parents, a large number of fans gathered to discuss the truth.

Sun Yanzi, one of the parties involved, had originally been at the company looking at the songs for her third album collected by the company, but after seeing this newspaper, her face instantly darkened—

"Damn! Which newspaper is this?! Do they think they can speak without taking responsibility?!"

She was already too busy selecting songs for her third album at the company; when had she ever been to Zhou Yi's house?

Besides, she wasn't that stupid; even if she were going to Zhou Yi's house to play, she wouldn't take the company car or her own car.

"That's how the media is, but it doesn't matter. The company can just issue a statement, and it'll be fine. There's no point in getting entangled with media like this sticky candy."

As Sun Yanzi's manager, Chen Zeshan, who had already dealt with a vast amount of gossip media, sighed: "Anyway, it was your father who went. This rumor will be easily cleared up and won't cause any big waves."

Then, Chen Zeshan was dumbfounded—

A notice stamped with Zhou Jianhui's seal was sent directly to the legal department. The Warner legal department immediately assigned five elite lawyers to form a legal team, began collecting evidence against all newspapers on the island of Taiwan that were slandering Zhou Yi, and prepared to file a formal lawsuit.

They declared they would spend whatever it took to win this lawsuit.

Once the news spread, it truly frightened many in the industry.

Wait, what is Warner doing? Are they crazy?

Are they playing for real?

The record companies and stars scheduled to attend the Warner celebration party on the 10th were also dumbfounded.

They had never heard any rumor beforehand that Warner intended to sue so many media outlets at once, which was enough to show it was a spur-of-the-moment decision.

So, the question arises.

At this critical juncture, who had such charm that made Warner spend so much blood and treasure?

Combined with the news of the recent secret photography, a young man's name immediately surfaced in everyone's minds.

As a result, on May 10th, more media outlets than the original list swarmed the red carpet outside Warner's celebration party to take photos.

Especially after Zhou Yi, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, appeared.

"Zhou Yi! Zhou Yi! May I ask, was it your insistence to sue those media outlets and reporters in court?!"

"Zhou Yi! What do you think of the editor-in-chief of 'Next Magazine' saying you are too young and impetuous?"

"Zhou Yi..."

After walking the red carpet and leaving his signature, Zhou Yi arrived at the arranged interview area. Facing the microphones that were almost pressed against his face, he smiled indifferently: "I am only nineteen years old this year; I haven't even had my twentieth birthday yet. I am now a genuine young man.

"What's wrong with a young man being a bit impetuous? If he isn't impetuous, is he still a young man?"

PS: Eating a late-night snack. I'll release the two chapters I've finished first; the last two will be later, around 2 AM~

I suggest everyone read the last two chapters after waking up tomorrow~

PS2: It's still so great to be on holiday; I can eat a late-night snack, write, and sleep well.

After coming back last night, I slept straight until 1 PM this afternoon. Haha.
