Chapter 277: The Gao Wei Girl

"Crazy! You're crazy! I told you, The Sun wasn't talking about me! It was just a silhouette, a silhouette, do you understand?! I don't even know him! I've never even met Spike!"

Ireland, Gao Wei, inside a high-end apartment.

A brown-haired woman, whose figure alone could be described as a scorching temptress, shouted angrily: "Besides, even if it were true, what right do you have to call me out, Jason?!"

Jason Statham, her boyfriend, or more accurately, currently her ex-boyfriend.

A rising new-generation male actor making a name for himself in the UK.

Because of his fame, Jason had been caught cheating on her several times. They had broken up and gotten back together multiple times; this time, she had initiated the breakup and fled from London to Gao Wei to avoid Jason Statham's pleas to reconcile.

For this reason, she, a football beauty, hadn't even accepted the invitation from the Premier League to appear at Arsenal's championship celebration.

Yet, because of those few pictures in The Sun showing a silhouette that looked somewhat like her, Jason Statham concluded she had cheated too. He called furiously to confront her, nearly driving her to death from anger.

"Fuck!"

After hanging up the phone, Kelly Brook grew angrier and angrier, wishing she could smash the phone right then and there.

"Don't be angry, baby. Anyway, you two have broken up and gotten back together so many times. It's not worth wasting a phone."

"At worst, you could just go meet Spike for real. He's quite handsome; I think he's much better looking than those Hollywood actors."

"He's tall and muscular too, and I think the muscles he showed in the music video look more appealing than Jason's."

Her best friend, who was currently preparing for the evening event, sat casually in front of the vanity mirror applying makeup, spouting bold words: "Also, he's a hot singer right now. Rumor has it his albums sold incredibly well globally last year."

"'The Lazy Song' was written and sung by him himself, and so is this 'Waving Flag'. If you build a good relationship with him, playing the lead female role in a music video with more screen time might even boost your fame."

"Don't forget how Jason got his start."

In '93 and '94, he consecutively got opportunities to appear in other people's music videos. Jason Statham worked hard to accumulate his initial connections, which allowed him to transform from a diver into an actor.

The entertainment industry is very realistic.

Who is the most discussed singer in the UK right now? It's not Kylie Minogue, the Pea Princess who topped the charts last year, but Zhou Yi from the distant East.

Never mind how much controversy surrounds him; at least the more controversy, the more popular he gets.

For Kelly Brook, who has been in the industry for three years but is still in the early stages of her career, if she could use Zhou Yi to become truly famous and let more people know her, that would undoubtedly be a benefit.

"Let's not talk about him. I'd like to star in Spike's music video, but I suppose his music videos are being watched by many people now? Otherwise, the models reported by The Sun wouldn't have ended up with him."

As a member of the football beauty circle, Kelly Brook immediately recognized the backgrounds of those models.

According to Western conventions, since Zhou Yi has already released two singles, he should be able to start preparing a full album soon.

"That's true, but this Spike is said to be quite fond of playing around, just like Jackie Chan."

Her best friend cited Jackie Chan, who was having a glorious year last year thanks to 'Rush Hour 2', as an example.

"..."

"Who said that? That's rumor-mongering, rumor-mongering, do you get what I mean?"

Ireland, Gao Wei, inside a certain hotel.

Zhou Yi, finally reaching the last leg of his promotional tour, was comfortably soaking in a bathtub, holding a newspaper in his left hand and answering a phone call with his right: "What the hell is this 'The Sun'? Pure nonsense. Jackie Chan is married; I'm not married. I don't even have a girlfriend. Sue him."

"..."

On the other end of the line, Qian Jiang's mouth twitched: "If Jackie Chan heard that, he'd probably beat you to death."

"Fists fear the young and strong; sticks fear the old wolf. With all the injuries Jackie Chan has now, beating him would be like playing." Zhou Yi, soaking in the bath, sneered and curled his lip disdainfully.

Do you understand what 'youth has no limits' means?

"Alright, stop joking. 'The Sun' is the world leader in gossip; Warner can't control everything for you."

"However, since you aren't based in the UK, the impact won't be huge."

Qian Jiang coughed twice and steered the conversation back on track: "Be careful when attending the event tonight. Many people are eyeing your meat right now."

"I can't vet the scene for you at the event; keep your eyes open. There are more groupies in the Western world than you imagine."

"Don't worry. I've grown up this long, and no one has ever been able to trick me."

Facing Qian Jiang's sincere warning, Zhou Yi turned to look out the window, his lips curving upward. His usual confident tone reassured the person on the other end of the line quite a bit.

At least, Zhou Yi's performance so far has indeed been quite reassuring.

After 'Waving Flag' exploded in popularity in the UK, Zhou Yi's priority ranking at Coca-Cola's headquarters rose sharply. He has now officially been upgraded to one of the lead singers, enjoying the maximum resource allocation.

At the same time, Qian Jiang himself had officially begun a tug-of-war with Coca-Cola's headquarters representatives regarding the upgrade of Zhou Yi's endorsement contract, so he couldn't accompany Zhou Yi to the Coca-Cola Football Night event being held in Gao Wei tonight.

This was also why he made another call back to warn Zhou Yi, feeling uneasy.

However, he clearly underestimated Zhou Yi's desire to 'cause trouble'.

With public opinion already at a critical point, Zhou Yi, while attending this Football Night event, exchanged flirtatious glances with some local Irish models in full view of everyone.

Among the crowd of legitimate reporters, a reporter from The Sun snapped photos furiously, wishing he could personally crawl under Zhou Yi's shoes to photograph every woman trying to get close to him.

Until—

Hmm?

Kelly Brook?!

Seeing an acquaintance, the reporter from The Sun blinked, immediately held his breath and focused, glanced around, quietly found a more hidden spot, and began taking photos from multiple angles.

"Hi, Spike, nice to meet you. I'm Kelly Brook. Welcome to Gao Wei."

A brown-haired woman in a tight gold sequined dress holding champagne approached Zhou Yi, openly displaying her scorching figure, which far surpassed that of all the models present, without any hesitation.

"Thank you, Kelly."

Zhou Yi smiled and clinked glasses with her: "I have to say, I do have a good impression of Gao Wei."

"Oh?"

Kelly took a sip of champagne with interest: "Why do you say that?"

"Some words probably aren't suitable to say here; I'm afraid people in London would scold me to death if they got out."

Zhou Yi shrugged and made a joke: "You know, especially a Gao Wei girl as beautiful as you, I haven't seen anyone like that in London."

The Mortal Realm!
