15 – Fu Jingyan V: Nice to meet you, fiancée
Fu Jingyan always kept his word, especially when it came to promises made to Bo Zhizhi—he had never broken one.
Since he said he would clarify, he was bound to take action.
So, he promptly tossed this thorny problem to his studio.
The studio: “??”
During the video conference, the team director couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“Hah, haha, hahaha…”
“One second, he’s calling her his fiancée in front of the entire internet during a live stream, and the next, he wants us to figure out how to clarify that there’s nothing between them.”
The agent tapped the table. “I asked you to come up with a PR plan, not perform a rap.”
“…”
Fu Jingyan sat in the center seat, his phoenix-like eyes lifting slightly as he swept a cool gaze over the team members in the video call.
He asked, “Any problems?”
The team director immediately smiled. “No problems at all.”
These days, earning a paycheck is just getting harder and harder.
Even as the top PR team, they had no idea how to pull back a missile once it had been launched.
Until Fu Jingyan said calmly, “The new MV’s female lead.”
Everyone was stunned.
For no other reason than this: since his debut, none of Fu Jingyan’s album MVs had ever featured a female lead.
Hearing the words “female lead” from his mouth was… utterly bewildering.
The agent fell silent for a moment, his tone serious. “Using an MV role to clarify is indeed a good idea, but are you sure you want to break this precedent for her?”
He had considered this option but dismissed it immediately.
The risks were too great, and it offered no benefit to Fu Jingyan.
What he hadn’t expected was that the aloof and noble deity was willing to descend to the mortal realm.
Using his own future to pave the way for an unknown actress.
Fu Jingyan’s expression remained unchanged. “Mm, go ahead and prepare.”
After the discussion ended, the assistant brought Fu Jingyan a cup of hot tea.
Others might not know, but having worked closely with Fu Jingyan, the assistant understood just how much he valued his fiancée.
“Bro, if you like Zhizhi-jie, then you shouldn’t clarify anything. Wouldn’t it be better to just go all the way?”
The assistant said excitedly, “Just go for the domineering top star forced love trope!”
Fu Jingyan picked up the hot tea. “Read fewer novels in your spare time.”
Perhaps he was in a good mood, as he rarely revealed the emotions hidden beneath his cool and composed exterior.
“Do you know how to fly a kite?”
The assistant thought for a moment. “Pull it in, then let it out?”
Fu Jingyan hummed in agreement, his voice, softened by the tea, sounding lazy and pleasant.
“If the string is pulled too tight, it will snap.”
The aloof and noble deity lowered his long lashes, concealing the deep, faintly vulnerable emotions in his eyes.
“Then she would leave me…”
…
The live stream had crashed and was under emergency repair, while Weibo erupted into a frenzy.
Someone uploaded a recording of the stream to Weibo, instantly causing an uproar.
Millions of girlfriend fans were heartbroken online, their worlds collapsing.
[Damn! I knew there was something fishy about Yan Shen joining a romance reality show—turns out he already has someone in his heart!]
[Tonight, I’m here to console heartbroken, beautiful college girls.]
[Why Bo Zhi? Why, why, why? She clearly has nothing going for her except her looks!]
[And she’s a notorious keyboard warrior. Would she curse at Yan Shen in private? [crying][crying][crying]]
[As someone who watched the live stream, it seems unlikely. Bo Zhi acts like a timid little egg around Yan Shen.]
The “timid little egg” herself was just about to unleash her skills online when her agent stopped her.
“Stop right there! No replying!” Gong Yan was practically getting a headache.
She had thought she might have to bail someone out of the police station, but now it seemed she could skip straight to the crematorium.
With Fu Jingyan’s massive fanbase of girlfriend fans, once the relationship is exposed, wouldn’t the woman be torn to shreds!
“Are you sure Yan Shen’s side will publicly clarify?” Gong Yan asked over the phone.
“Yes.”
“Then you stay quiet, wait for them to handle it and then… forget it, there’s no ‘then.’ You keep quiet the whole time.”
Bo Zhi: “…”
Gong Yan didn’t understand how the D-list celebrity she managed could get involved with a top star, and such an explosive scandal at that. She quickly scrolled to a comment.
【Remember Bo Zhi’s ideal? Her ideal is to be the top star in the entertainment industry, the purple star. Was she actually talking about Yan Shen?】
【? Bo Zhi, you weren’t lying to me】
【So Bo Zhi hinted at it long ago. The foolish clown was actually me all along.】
Gong Yan asked doubtfully, “Your ideal is Fu Jingyan?”
Bo Zhi was lying on the table eating cherries and replied boredly, “You really understand ideals.”
Gong Yan: “Don’t give me that sarcastic tone. Look at the comments yourself.”
Bo Zhi opened the comments and took a look, almost getting so angry she ascended to heaven on the spot.
“This is truly absurdity opening the door for absurdity—absurdity has come home.”
Bo Zhi deeply agreed, “Men really do bring misfortune.”
Gong Yan thought she was being too ungrateful, “That’s Yan Shen. You should be grateful you even got to ride his coattails.”
Bo Zhi pouted and muttered quietly, “Hmph, I’ve even been on top of him.”
Gong Yan didn’t catch her mumbling and asked, “What did you say?”
Bo Zhi immediately replied, “Nothing.”
Not long after, Fu Jingyan’s studio issued a clarification.
Bo Zhi was lying on the pavilion in the backyard, resting her jade-white arm as she ate cherries, peacefully admiring the cool moonlight.
Then she was nearly deafened by Gong Yan’s high-pitched voice.
“Holy shit!!”
Gong Yan, as a top-tier agent, rarely swore, “Bo Zhizhi, what kind of incredible luck did you stumble upon!”
Bo Zhi curiously glanced at her phone and saw the statement released by the studio.
“MV female lead?”
Gong Yan couldn’t hide the excitement in her voice, “To clarify, Yan Shen’s side actually cast you as the female lead for his new MV. Bo Zhi, you’ve really gone from a sparrow to a phoenix now.”
Even Fu Jingyan reposted the studio’s clarification statement.
Bo Zhi lightly swiped her finger and saw Fu Jingyan’s account with 90 million followers.
Filled with promotional posts, it seemed like an emotionless studio account, but finally, there was a human touch in a Weibo post.
【Fu Jingyan V】: Pleasure to meet you, fiancée @Bo Zhi
Bo Zhi’s heart inexplicably trembled.
Gong Yan kindly suggested over the phone, “Do you want to post one too? ‘Pleasure to meet you, fiancé’?”
Bo Zhi belatedly snapped back to reality, her long eyelashes fluttering twice. She said irritably, “Post my ass!”
Is Fox Fu clarifying or announcing their relationship?!
The reactions in the comments were similar to Bo Zhi’s.
【Why do I feel like it’s clarified but not completely clarified?】
【Brother, why does your clarification Weibo sound exactly like an official announcement?】
【Bo Zhi??? MV female lead??? Is she even worthy???】
【Yan Shen, tell us, did Bo Zhi hold a gun to your head and force you to post this? Tell us, hurry up and tell us.】
【Since it’s just the MV female lead, then Yan Shen, don’t get too into character ahhh!!】
Bo Zhi was relatively calm at first, until she saw a comment from an ID with her anti-fan’s name.
【Holy shit? Didn’t they say there aren’t even female pigs in Fu Jingyan’s MVs? How did my dead girl get in there?】
Bo Zhi held back for a moment, but ultimately couldn’t resist.
She replied below.
【Bo Zhi V】：Get lost [smile]
