Chapter 111 Rejecting Hardcore PR Starts with Me
Xie Junfei, who was at the old house, kept a close eye on the online public opinion environment.
Huo Shen leaned over and glanced at the negative comments above, immediately frowning.
Xie Junfei, however, took it for granted and casually reached out to touch Huo Shen's face as a gesture of comfort:
"If you can't stand it, then don't watch it, so you don't get angry."
Upon hearing this, Huo Shen pulled her into his arms, reached out and swiped lightly on the tablet screen to exit the interface.
"I don't like seeing them insult you."
"Do you need the Huo family's PR team to create a spectacle? I can help."
Hearing this, Xie Junfei became interested and turned to look at the handsome man beside her:
"The Huo family's PR team? I've never even heard of them before. What do they look like?"
It's understandable that Xie Junfei was curious. After all, the public relations methods of leading companies like Huo's are too hardcore. Compared to them, the entertainment industry's actions are simply child's play.
The man saw the girl staring at him with wide, curious eyes, a fleeting smile crossing his gaze. He then took out his phone and casually sent her a message.
A few minutes later, the other party sent a document.
Huo Shen opened the phone and handed it to Xie Junfei.
Xie Junfei looked down and was surprised to find that the pictures and text were not only impressive, but also contained explosive news about A-list and even top-tier celebrities!
From a movie star secretly marrying his assistant, to a popular young actress who cultivates a hardworking image but is actually a frequent visitor to a powerful man's bed, to a well-known young male celebrity being played with by a group of rich women until he becomes impotent, the stories are all accompanied by videos and photos.
Xie Junfei read through them one by one and felt that those glamorous celebrities in the entertainment industry were just pretending to be decent people, but in reality, they were all rotten in the same way.
The man patted her shoulder and casually said:
“I’ll pick a celebrity I don’t like, and I’ll have their PR department expose their dirty secrets to attract public attention.”
"I guarantee that when you wake up the next morning, no one on the internet will be saying anything bad about 'Tia' anymore."
Xie Junfei had tried her best to control herself and avoid making a "dumbfounded" expression, but she still couldn't help but mutter to herself:
"Is this what it feels like to be born in Rome...?"
Her voice was too soft, so Huo Shen leaned closer and asked her:
"What did you just say?"
Immediately afterwards, Xie Junfei grabbed the man's neck and kissed him twice forcefully, saying aggressively:
"I said! I'm going to fight you rich people to the death!"
After saying that, she threw away the tablet, clung to Huo Shen like an octopus, and threw them both into the quilt.
Xie Junfei, of course, did not want Huo Shen's public relations resources.
After all, her own plan wasn't bad either. Although it's always better to achieve something in one step than to take multiple paths, this was still an experience. She was still young, and it was good for her to have more experiences.
Seeing that she was unwilling to help him, Huo Shen didn't try to persuade her; he just watched her make a fuss.
After all, he has his own safety net. If Xie Junfei goes too far, he can just find someone to clean up the mess in the end.
The next day, Xie Junfei got up early and had breakfast.
Huo Shen had an international conference this morning, and was currently sitting on the sofa in a suit and tie, reading the newspaper and drinking tea. He watched Xie Junfei sitting at her dressing table, enthusiastically trying on pom-pom earrings, a rare hint of resentment in her usually indifferent eyes.
"It's like the sun rose in the west today; even the little devil in the family got up at seven o'clock."
"Normally, I have to beg and plead to bring breakfast to your bedside before you'll even open your mouth. Why are you so eager to eat today?"
These words were sarcastic, but the girl didn't even blink, and just scoffed:
"What do you know? I even turned down my sister-in-law's invitation to sleep with me last night, so why aren't you even willing to have breakfast with her this morning?"
After speaking, Xie Junfei stood up, wearing a beautiful cheongsam, and walked to Huo Shen. Without even looking at the sofa next to her, she plopped down on the man's lap and even reached out to tap his high, straight nose.
"You're such a jealous person."
After saying that, Huo Shen grabbed her waist and pinched the ticklish spot on her waist:
"You little rascal are making a fuss so early in the morning, you're really spoiled."
Xie Junfei is ticklish, and was immediately tickled until she laughed and begged for mercy. Early in the morning, the house was filled with the laughter of the young couple.
The eldest son and sister-in-law of the second wife naturally heard the laughter as they passed by Huo Shen's courtyard, and exchanged a smile.
The eldest son of the second wife sighed as he embraced his wife:
"Indeed, a man needs a wife to truly come alive."
“I’ve never seen him smile since he was a child, but now that he has a wife, he’s become much more cheerful.”
After making a fuss for fifteen minutes, Huo Shen and Xie Junfei finally arrived late, only after the servants urged them twice.
As soon as Xie Junfei sat down, Huo Shen poured two full dishes of vinegar and placed them in front of her, leaving Xie Junfei completely bewildered.
"Don't you never get jealous?"
Huo Shen, without changing his expression, told a lame joke:
"Eat, start eating today."
Xie Junfei knew Huo Shen was teasing her, but without changing her expression, she pinched the man's thigh hard under the table before finally smiling and instructing the servants to remove the dishes.
"Eating sour things so early in the morning can easily cause stomach aches, so the head of the family should avoid causing trouble."
The second wife's family watched the young couple's battle of wits, each of them appearing calm and collected on the surface, but in reality, they were all trying their best to suppress their laughter.
After breakfast, everyone dispersed back to their rooms to work, preparing to meet again in the afternoon.
Huo Shen went to the front room of the old house to hold a video conference, while the second branch of the family were also working remotely. Xie Junfei went back to his room and continued to check the online public opinion trends.
The current online public opinion is still very unfavorable to Tia.
Netizens flooded Tia's comment section with insults, but Tia still refused to select comments and continued to provide daily art education.
Seeing its shameless behavior, everyone was so angry that they said they would boycott Tia themselves, and that continued resistance would surely bankrupt Tia.
But in reality, such a counterattack was rather ineffective.
Firstly, art itself is a niche art form, and very few people are willing to spend hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars to buy an oil painting in a gallery.
As an industry leader, Tia does not open online stores or generate profits from external sources. Its last collaboration was with a well-known international jewelry brand, and the target audience was not the group that was shouting online to avoid Tia.
Secondly, Tia's headquarters is located in a well-known wealthy area of Hai City, occupying a three-story villa in a maple forest. The security is strict, and outsiders need to make an appointment in advance to enter, let alone cause trouble.
Even on Tia's official website, there are only introductions and works of collaborating artists, maybe a little art education, but nothing else.
It feels terrible to punch something that's like hitting cotton.
Netizens naturally felt their anger, which they couldn't escape. As time went by, their emotions couldn't be calmed down, and they were gradually overshadowed by other things.
Seeing that the hype was about to die down, the executive immediately became restless.
He soon posted on Weibo that he had completed the preliminary preparations for the gallery and was very grateful to the artists for believing in him, supporting him, and choosing to "leave" Tia with him.
After saying that, he tagged those artists on Weibo.
Soon everyone discovered that nearly 40% of them were artists, most of whom were experienced middle-aged people with a certain voice in the industry!
This news instantly shook a large part of the industry.
That same afternoon, a fashion and art blogger with millions of followers posted a video to jump on the bandwagon and analyze whether "Tia" would face "extinction" after leaving this executive.
