AFVSIBS Chapter 213: Starting the Publicity of Zheng Shulong and Yang Hanhans Relationship

Having settled matters with Zheng Shulong and Chen Xiaoyu, Wei Wentao felt completely at ease.

"Director Wei, now that both of them have agreed to our plan, which one should we execute first? After all, there needs to be an order to things; otherwise, they will end up competing for the spotlight," Wei Wentao's assistant inquired.

"Let's start with Zheng Shulong's publicity first, and then proceed with Chen Xiaoyu's tomorrow night. Things need to be done in order," Wei Wentao thought for a moment before answering.

"Understood, I'll get on it right away."

Having followed Wei Wentao for many years, his assistant promptly set things in motion after confirming the sequence.

Soon enough, articles by paparazzi began appearing online.

The articles claimed that top-tier male celebrity Zheng Shulong and rising pop star Yang Hanhan were secretly dating and had been seen checking into hotels together late at night multiple times.

Once the articles were published, they caused a huge sensation online, skyrocketing to the top of trending lists within half an hour.

"No way! Yang Hanhan and Zheng Shulong are really together? I never saw that coming."

"Honestly, I like both Zheng Shulong and Yang Hanhan. If they're really together, I wish them all the best."

"Yeah, Yang Hanhan is a pop diva and a national goddess, while Zheng Shulong is talented and handsome. They make a perfect couple. I support them being together."

"I'm a fan of Yang Hanhan. If she's really with Zheng Shulong, I'll follow him too. After all, I have to support my idol's man."

"Although I hope they are together, this seems too sudden. If I recall correctly, Yang Hanhan said she was single just a month ago in an interview. How did she suddenly start dating Zheng Shulong, and checking into hotels together late at night?"

...

Netizens were abuzz with discussions about the news. Given that both Zheng Shulong and Yang Hanhan were currently some of the hottest stars in the entertainment industry, many people looked forward to their potential relationship.

Some of Yang Hanhan's fans even started following Zheng Shulong to support their idol's man.

This caused a slight but noticeable increase in Zheng Shulong's social media followers.

His popularity also rose to a new level.

This was the effect of publicity, and it was clearly working well.

Of course, there were some clear-headed netizens who found the news hard to believe. They distinctly remembered Yang Hanhan claiming to be single a month ago, and now, just a month later, there were rumors of her dating Zheng Shulong and checking into hotels with him. It seemed fishy.

However, these rational voices were few and quickly drowned out.

Most of the comments were filled with congratulations and well wishes.

The names Yang Hanhan and Zheng Shulong suddenly dominated the internet.

After having breakfast with Zhou Chen, Yang Hanhan returned to her hotel room.

Thinking about how Zhou Chen had helped her change clothes last night, she felt both embarrassed and happy.

She was embarrassed because she hadn't been in a relationship before, and Zhou Chen had seen everything.

She was happy because Zhou Chen was the man she liked.

All in all, her feelings were conflicted and complicated.

Zhou Chen, on the other hand, didn't have anything specific to do in the morning, so after breakfast, he returned to his hotel room intending to read some newspapers and magazines.

But just as he sat down, he noticed the clothes Yang Hanhan had changed out of last night. In her haste, she hadn't taken them with her.

The white lace was particularly noticeable, reminding Zhou Chen of everything he'd seen the night before.

The pink, the freshness of spring leaves...

"Hanhan, you left your clothes here. Come over when you have time to get them."

Zhou Chen sent Yang Hanhan a message.

"Oh, I'll come get them now. Open the door for me."

Yang Hanhan quickly replied, then went to find Zhou Chen.

"Thank you. Please don't tell anyone about last night," Yang Hanhan said, her face blushing.

"Don't worry, only the two of us know what happened last night. No one else will ever find out," Zhou Chen assured.

"Alright, I'll take my clothes and go back. Let's chat when we have time. Bye."

Yang Hanhan thanked him, took her clothes, and quickly ran back to her room.

After closing the door, she leaned against it and took a deep breath.

Just then, her phone rang.

It was her assistant and manager calling.

"Sister Yang, what are you up to? Aren't you getting close to Zhou Chen privately? How did you end up being rumored to be in a relationship with Zheng Shulong?"

"What the hell? How am I linked to Zheng Shulong? I've rejected him countless times."

Yang Hanhan was baffled.

"There's a huge buzz online now, saying you're secretly dating Zheng Shulong and have been seen checking into hotels together late at night. The news is trending, and everyone's congratulating you two. Check it out."

"What! How did this happen? These bastards love to spread false rumors. Now I'm in trouble."

The usually gentle Yang Hanhan cursed in anger upon hearing this.

She used to not care much about her reputation, but now, because she liked Zhou Chen, she cared. She feared Zhou Chen might misunderstand and believe the paparazzi's false reports.

So, after hanging up with her assistant, she immediately opened Weibo.

Seeing the trending news about her and Zheng Shulong, she was even more furious.

She was about to post a clarification when her phone kept ringing.

It was calls from industry friends congratulating her.

Left with no choice, Yang Hanhan had to explain to each of them that there was no such thing.

She wasn't dating Zheng Shulong at all. In fact, she had blocked him on WeChat.

How could they be dating if they didn't even have each other's WeChat?

After Yang Hanhan personally explained, her friends believed that the online rumors were false.

However, they advised her not to clarify too early. The current buzz was good, and she could ride the wave of attention before clarifying. This way, she could gain some publicity and clear her name.

But Yang Hanhan disagreed. She wanted to clarify immediately because she feared Zhou Chen might misunderstand and think she really had something with Zheng Shulong.

Moreover, she despised gaining popularity through fake publicity.

So, after taking a few calls from friends in the industry, she began drafting her Weibo post...
