The Wealthy Tycoon's Game of Life

Chapter 1745: Chapter 714: Premiere

”Are you... Linda?”

Zhou Wang recalled for a moment before remembering the name of the agent, his senior.

It’s not that he has a bad memory; it’s just that the other party used an English name, and usually it was Xiao An who reported the senior’s situation to Zhou Wang. Besides meeting once at the beginning, Zhou Wang really hadn’t had much contact with the agent.

”Yes, if Mr. Zhou finds it hard to remember, you can call me Xiao Qian~”

Linda said in a slightly fawning manner.

Zhou Wang looked at the other person, who was in her thirties or forties, and felt that he couldn’t bring himself to call her ”Xiao Qian,” so he shook his head and smiled, ”I’ll call you Sister Qian then.”

”Oh, no, I don’t deserve such a title... ”

”It’s just a form of address, no need to dwell on it.”

Zhou Wang waved his hand.

”Then... Mr. Zhou, shall I take you backstage first?”

Since Zhou Wang had said so, Linda didn’t dwell on it and simply showed a bit of being flattered at the right time.

Linda actually didn’t understand Zhou Wang well. She initially became Jiang Mo’s agent through an introduction by Miss Wang. However, during the first meeting, Zhou Wang noticed some of her little intentions. To discipline her, he had called Miss Li in front of her.

Miss Li and Mr. Ren’s position in Beidou’s entertainment circle is undeniable, and Linda had previously worked under Mr. Ren. She had a deep-seated reverence for Mr. Ren, which is why she later worked tirelessly for Jiang Mo.

”Okay, lead the way, Sister Qian, you’ve worked hard during this time.”

Zhou Wang nodded with a smile.

”Mr. Zhou, you’re too kind. It’s just part of my job...”

Linda’s smile grew even brighter.

Perhaps from the first meeting, Linda was left with the impression that Zhou Wang was not easy to approach. Now feeling a change in Zhou Wang’s attitude, this woman, who had been drifting in the entertainment circle for many years, immediately displayed her worldly side and kept finding topics to discuss with Zhou Wang on the way to the backstage, trying to get closer to him.

Actually, Zhou Wang didn’t really enjoy this kind of awkward small talk, so he responded only sporadically.

Until they turned a corner and were about to reach the backstage lounge, Linda, seeing Zhou Wang maintaining a smile, got a bit braver and jokingly said:

”Speaking of which, I’ve been hearing Mr. Zhou’s name quite often in the circle lately.”

”Oh?”

”With that trending topic that’s still not cooling down, if I didn’t see it, why am I even in the entertainment circle?”

”Oh, it’s just some exaggerated rumors. Miss Di and I are just friends.”

Zhou Wang immediately understood that she was referring to the ”two women competing for a husband” incident and casually dismissed it with a light smile.

This trending topic, which once topped the charts on Weibo and Douyin, was indeed still on the list, just not as prominent.

With the joint efforts of the Wangzhou Group and the studios of Miss Di and Miss Xia, this topic was gradually fading away, which is the norm in the entertainment circle... nothing lasts forever, not even the so-called hard evidence that makes fans feel like the sky is falling.

Having discussed it with Zhou Wang, both Miss Di and Miss Xia gave formal responses online, with consistent remarks, making clear that the three were just good friends, and the argument between the two women that day was just a joke.

Yes, a joke... even if the two seemed quite serious.

As for that video, it’s just some boring cherry-picking.

Among them, Miss Xia’s statement was a bit more genuine; she said she did have a fondness for Zhou Wang, but they weren’t officially together.

If you only looked at the content in the video, these words were obviously fooling no one and were hard to convince most people.

But as the saying goes, this is the entertainment circle... regardless of the truth of the matter, this response stance had to be there.

There will always be many brainless fans who choose to believe you unconditionally. This type of response serves as psychological comfort, allowing them to start tearing at the ”hard evidence” party and muddying the waters.

Afterward, as time passed, except for occasional rehashing by some marketing accounts, more and more people would gradually forget about it.

”For example, Zhou Wang, do you remember which year ’Brother Kuai Mian’ went in, and when he got out?”

”Hmm, seems like, I really don’t remember...”

At the time, Zhou Wang, who questioned Xia Xiwei’s solution, recalled and suddenly realized.

Yes, the sensational event of that year now seemed so distant.

”Actually, I don’t mind going with the flow, but someone clearly doesn’t have the guts.”

Xia Xiwei said with a touch of grievance.

Zhou Wang couldn’t respond to this topic. If Xia Xiwei really took the opportunity to ”make the relationship public,” then all of Zhou Wang’s efforts on his birthday would have gone to waste.

Of course, Xia Xiwei was probably just saying that, after all, her career was at its golden rising period. Admitting to a relationship with a man would also cause considerable damage to her career.

But Zhou Wang didn’t dare to bet.

In any case, this matter was handled that way later. It’s been a long time since Zhou Wang paid attention to the online dynamics.

However, he knew that his reputation increased significantly after this ”trending topic,” evident from the steadily rising Reputation Value that fluctuated daily.

Additionally, Zhou Wang gained a lot of fans from this; his system warehouse now had three new Douyin [Stock Fragment Gift Packages], though he hadn’t had the chance to open them yet.

”Of course, of course...”
