Chapter 71 Too Much Drama

Gu Zhou's fans had been staking out his Weibo for almost half a month, and finally he posted again!

Gu Zhou: Junior Sister, you won't reject me anymore, right? // Official verification from Yuren International: Welcome Xu Jiaojiao to the Yuren International family [clapping][clapping][clapping]

The fans immediately exploded!

Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god... What did Gu Zhou say?

Now, you won't, reject, me, anymore, right?

I recognize every single word, but how come I don't recognize them when they're put together?

This sentence is packed with information...

The comments below completely exploded, with fans, passersby, and even haters all leaving comments.

[Is Gu Yingdi going to go public with his relationship?]

[Junior Sister... it really is a title that implies something fishy...]

[Who is Xu Jiaojiao? How dare she reject her idol! I promise I will never reject you!]

[Holy crap! I saw such explosive news as soon as I logged onto Weibo, my jaw almost dropped!] [

My god, where's your aloofness? My god, where's your reserve?]

[My god, my god, why did you have to be so foolish?!]

[Gu Zhou, with your high-profile confession, how are your ex-girlfriends doing?]

The comments exploded, and many people forwarded them one after another.

Gu Zhou, who had been silent until now, made a stunning statement. This time, it was even more explosive than his previous announcements of relationships with so-and-so. The more hesitant and veiled his feelings, the more speculation and attention he attracted. As

soon as Gu Zhou's agent saw the Weibo post, he immediately rushed to Gu Zhou.

"I only asked you to casually involve Xu Jiaojiao, I didn't ask you to drag yourself into it."

"Drag yourself into it?"

"Look at what you posted!"

"What's wrong with what I posted?"

The agent's hand trembled as he pointed at Gu Zhou, unable to utter a word for a long time.

Just as Gu Zhou was about to speak, his phone rang. It was his good friend calling.

"Ah Zhou, your account wasn't hacked, was it?"

"No."

"So you really have a crush on that little girl? I checked, this Xu Jiaojiao is still a minor, almost a full twelve years younger than you!"

Gu Zhou laughed and said, "No, how did you get the idea that I'm interested in her?"

"You said things like 'You won't reject me anymore, right?' Everyone thinks you're confessing your feelings again. " "You

're overthinking it. I just want her to give me a painting." "

There are so many painters, why don't you ask someone else? And is a painting by such a young girl worth your admiration?"

"Because I think it is."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Zhou saw his manager clutching his chest as if he'd just had a close call. He smiled and said, "Brother Wen, we've been working together for almost ten years, don't you know me?"

Brother Wen rolled his eyes, "If you always acted according to the rules, would I do this?"

"But your trick of feigning reality was incredibly effective; even I was fooled. Once you explain, no one will think it's a publicity stunt; they'll just think they misunderstood." Brother Wen gave Gu Zhou another thumbs up.

"Since we've already built the ladder, let's make it more secure. Brother Wen, go and arrange for Xu Jiaojiao to come out and reserve a table in the revolving hall of the Cloud Restaurant."

"Okay, I'll contact her first." Brother Wen left.

Gu Zhou leaned back in his chair, picked up his phone, and scrolled through Weibo for a while. He saw several friends in the industry messaging him, asking if it was true or not, and he patiently replied to each one. Once he answered, everyone naturally knew he was helping the company promote a newcomer.

So some people were curious: he was already a top-tier star, with connections and resources he could obtain without the company's help; the benefits the company could offer were insignificant to him. Why would he go to such lengths to promote a newcomer?

And look at this newcomer being promoted, Xu Jiaojiao! She was just an ordinary, greenhorn girl who came from a talent show. There were countless girls prettier than her, both established and not, and she grew up in a typical single-parent family, meaning she had no powerful connections. Most importantly, at 1.76 meters tall, she was a step below top international models, much taller than domestic actresses, and even taller than many male stars. Even if she went into acting, she was destined to never be a leading lady.

It was truly incomprehensible why such a large company like Yuren International would promote such a mediocre newcomer. And Gu Zhou, who never got involved in such matters, was willing to interfere—what did Xu Jiaojiao have that made her so special?

Gu Zhou simply smiled and ignored the questions.

At his current position, he rarely encountered things he liked but couldn't have. Seeing Xu Jiaojiao's angel drawing on the bridge over the Tiber River had truly touched him, but he had strong self-control and wouldn't show strong emotions. Many people have experienced the feeling of liking someone but not being able to have them—a nagging, unsettling feeling that's always there, a constant longing. This is why he was so impressed by Xu Jiaojiao; otherwise, given his personality, why would he help her create a scandal?

Because of Gu Zhou's status as a mobile headline, "Xu Jiaojiao" was subjected to a barrage of scrutiny from curious netizens, who dug into her background, experiences, and personal information.

The previously leaked "homosexuality" news also gained renewed attention, but compared to this, it paled in comparison.

With these two things side-by-side, everyone was astonished to realize that Xu Jiaojiao had actually won over two male and female gods.

He's popular with both men and women!

If Xu Jiaojiao had a Weibo account, she'd be bombarded with comments right now.

When Sheng Jiaoyang learned that Gu Zhou had invited her to dinner, she initially refused, but Li Yu on the phone said he'd blacklist her if she didn't go.

How could that be? She was planning to get closer to Shen the Demon King; how could she approach him if she was blacklisted!

So Sheng Jiaoyang went.

When she saw Gu Zhou, he smiled slightly at her, and she immediately felt something flash in the corner of her eye.

"I thought you'd bring Lin Na," Gu Zhou said considerately, pulling out a chair for her.

"Thank you!" Sheng Jiaoyang sat down, watching Gu Zhou sit opposite her. She tilted her head and said, "Three people acting like this is too much; I'm afraid others can't handle it."

Gu Zhou handed her the menu, letting her order.

"How much did Li Yu give you? You're helping with this publicity stunt and paying for this fancy meal. Aren't you afraid you'll end up with nothing?" Sheng Jiaoyang said, flipping through the menu without looking up.

"I'm doing this simply because it's you,"

Gu Zhou replied.

Sheng Jiaoyang paused in her flipping through the menu and looked up at him.

Under the light, the handsome man gazed at her with a faint smile.

"Oh," she replied, deliberately spoiling the atmosphere.
