Ch 64: Strange Island
It is indeed an Internet Troll, but not hired by Lin Xiaoyun, but by her husband, Huo Yunjian.
After all, he is the president of an entertainment company, playing with public opinion is an essential skill.
Since Lin Xiaoyun and Huo Zhaohua went on the show, he has been having people monitor the online activity, controlling the direction of public opinion at any time.
In order to understand what happened, Huo Yunjian also specially watched the playback, specifically watching the segments where Lin Xiaoyun and Gu Qingyin came into contact, and after watching it, he felt terrible.
He always thought Lin Xiaoyun was quite smart, how could she lose her mind as soon as she encountered Gu Qingyin? It’s simply ridiculously stupid!
But Huo Zhaohua was a bit beyond his expectations.
Huo Zhaohua is Huo Yunjian’s only son on the surface, but he has never been very satisfied with this son. Huo Zhaohua’s abilities are very good, but his personality is too upright and he doesn’t know how to be flexible, which is actually a disadvantage in the business world.
Unexpectedly, Huo Xinghai has quite a good impression of Huo Zhaohua.
Huo Yunjian immediately understood that the Huo family triplets had been like shrewd people since they were young, so naturally the more simple-minded people could arouse their favor. On the contrary, people who approach them with a purpose will make them instinctively guarded.
This unintentional move was the right one.
Huo Yunjian pondered, Lin Xiaoyun can’t be counted on, he can only rely on Huo Zhaohua. When the live broadcast is turned off, he has to call Huo Zhaohua and tell him to be natural and not to be too deliberate, maybe it will have a miraculous effect.
“Knock, knock, knock.”
The office door was knocked, and the fair-skinned and beautiful female assistant in a professional suit pushed the door in and said without waiting for Huo Yunjian to speak, “Netizens suspect that your wife bought Internet Troll, do you want to continue the cover-up?”
Huo Yunjian frowned, a little displeased, “Send a few more and then withdraw, don’t look too guilty.”
The female assistant curled her lips, “You care about your wife quite a bit.”
Huo Yunjian glared at her, looking quite fierce, but his tone was soft, “She is my wife, she represents not only an individual, but also the face of the company, I can’t just ignore it.”
He stepped back and stretched out his hand to the female assistant, coaxing, “Baby, don’t be angry, you know I love you the most.”
The female assistant slightly curled her lips, walked over coyly, sat on Huo Yunjian’s lap skillfully, hooked his neck, and flirted with sweet breath, “You love me, but you are willing to let me be your mistress, you are just coaxing me.”
Huo Yunjian kissed her fair face, “Baby, please understand me, unless Lin Xiaoyun makes a big mistake, I can’t get a divorce first with my status.”
In short, the corporate image is above everything else.
The female assistant snorted softly, her fingers sliding gently on his neck, making a coquettish request, “Then you have to compensate me, I want you to buy me that limited edition bag from C brand.”
“Buy, buy, buy!” Huo Yunjian agreed readily, “I will buy whatever you want, baby.” As he spoke, he couldn’t help but lean over, “Let your husband kiss you first.”
Soon, ambiguous sounds echoed in the office.
The public relations manager, who had been monitoring the online activity outside, didn’t get a response for a long time and couldn’t help but take a look. He was just about to walk to the door when he was dissuaded by the sounds inside. He turned around expressionlessly and walked two meters away, then took out his phone and replied in the group: The notice will be issued in five minutes.
With his understanding, the boss will last a maximum of five minutes.
At the same time, the guests on the yacht were also preparing to disembark after lunch, and they docked on a very small island.
Before disembarking, the director was still introducing, “Everyone, don’t look at this island as very small, but the beach here is very fine and the sea water is particularly clear. It is a well-known scenic spot for viewing and surfing. If you need swimming and diving equipment, you can rent it from the production crew, the underwater scenery here is very beautiful.”
Gu Qingyin didn’t listen at all at first, but when she went out and took a look, her eyes widened and she couldn’t help but exclaim.
Lin Tian next to her also exclaimed.
Although both of them exclaimed, you could clearly feel the difference in their tones.
Lin Tian was surprised, Gu Qingyin was purely shocked.
She has Yin-Yang Eyes, and the world she sees is completely different from ordinary people!
This small island doesn’t know what it’s hiding, the black clouds cover the top and it is gloomy, comparable to a cemetery!
Lin Tian couldn’t wait to get off the boat and ran back and forth on the white beach. The sea water was indeed particularly clear, especially like a tourist promotional video of an island.
“So beautiful.” Huo Xinghai couldn’t help but sigh, “This place looks so comfortable.”
Gu Qingyin twitched the corner of her mouth, turned her head to look at his neck, and reminded, “Wear your jade amulet properly.”
Huo Xinghai stiffened instinctively, and looked at Gu Qingyin incredulously. The latter raised her eyebrows slightly, affirming his guess with her eyes.
Looking at this extremely beautiful beach again, Huo Xinghai felt cold hands and feet, as if he saw a monster using a beautiful appearance to seduce humans, just waiting for people to step into the trap and then eat them in one bite.
【What are these two doing, communicating mysteriously again?】
【Is the jade amulet that important? Master Gu always reminds Hai Baoer to wear it properly.】
【Blind guess, is it an amulet?】
【So, this island is dangerous?】
【Now that I think about it, Master Gu’s “Wow” just now was a little off.】
【Aren’t you guys getting too into the drama? Do you really think Gu Qingyin is a Mystical Arts master? The threshold for Mystical Arts is very high!】
【That’s right, don’t be too emotional!】
【Why not seize the time to check in and take photos in such a beautiful place, why create anxiety? Gu Qingyin is too good at attracting attention, it’s too much.】
“Cousin.” Huo Zhaohua walked over, pursing his lips and opening his mouth a little embarrassed, “Can you lend me some money? I want to rent a set of diving equipment to go into the sea to catch fish.”
Huo Xinghai’s expression was complicated. The situation on the island was unknown, and he couldn’t just watch Huo Zhaohua go into the water. What if he encountered danger? But in front of the live broadcast camera, he couldn’t refuse.
After weighing it, he looked at Gu Qingyin and asked, “Can I go into the water with him?”
Gu Qingyin nodded, hinting, “Go ahead, the water here looks pretty good, there shouldn’t be too much danger.”
Huo Xinghai breathed a sigh of relief, “Let’s go, I’ll go with you.”
Huo Zhaohua curled the corners of his lips very slightly, with a hint of joy in his clear and cold voice, “Thank you, Brother.”
The two brothers went to the director to rent equipment, and Gu Qingyin slowly got off the boat.
As soon as she landed on the island, she felt a burst of fear in her heart, not fear, just her body’s instinctive reaction to danger.
“Sister Qing!” Lin Tian, who was treading the waves on the beach, waved her arms and shouted with a smile on her face, “Come over and take pictures together!”
Gu Qingyin looked over, and Lin Xiaoyun didn’t know when she had walked to Lin Tian’s side. Opposite the two, Lin Xian was holding a mobile phone, taking snapshots.
“Coming!” Gu Qingyin responded, just as she raised her foot, a gust of sea breeze blew from inside the island, causing her to wrinkle her nose involuntarily.
It was a very unpleasant smell ━ a fishy smell mixed with the smell of rotting corpses, which was nauseating.
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone!
