Chapter 536 It’s you again!
While squeezing into the crowd, the laces of Zhou Sheng's flip-flops were stepped on and broken. He was sweating in panic and struggling with the broken laces with his toes.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of breaking wind coming from the front.
When he looked up again, before Zhou Sheng could see what was going on, he was pinned to the ground and handcuffed by three or four policemen.
"We've caught them. Let's get back to the team!"
Zhou Sheng, who was delighted to receive a pair of silver bracelets, was stunned.
He knew that smoking, begging and eating were not allowed on the Beijing subway, otherwise subway staff would come to catch him.
What? Is it illegal to wear flip-flops on non-beach roads in Haiqi City? ! !
In just half a minute, Zhou Sheng went over all the bad things he had done in his life. It was not until he was about to be pressed into the police car that he reacted and tried to defend himself while struggling:
"The wrong person has been arrested! The wrong person has been arrested! I am innocent!!!"
Hearing this, the captain of the anti-pornography team came over and looked him up and down.
"Blue floral shirt, Hawaiian-style shorts, broken flip-flops, that's right! We caught you! Still trying to argue? Look around the street and see if there's another person dressed like you! Don't try to play tricks! I'm warning you, if you confess, you'll be treated leniently, but if you resist, you'll be treated severely! Instead of wasting time, you might as well reveal a few more accomplices and dens, and try to get your sentence reduced soon."
"Stop it! Stop it! It's not him!" A kind-hearted lady in the crowd stood up and said a fair word for Zhou Sheng.
Unfortunately, the old lady's accent was too strong, so the police heard her say "It's not easy for a garlic bird or a garlic bird" and explained seriously:
"Auntie, soliciting prostitution is illegal. We can't just let it go."
Then, without further explanation, they escorted Zhou Sheng into a police car and drove away with a car full of criminal suspects.
……
……
"Damn! What a shabby clothes! No wonder the police officer made a mistake!" Zhou Sheng tugged at the collar of his clothes and sighed helplessly, "Who would have thought that I would wear the same clothes as the criminal suspect when dressed like this?" And he even wore the same clothes as the criminal suspect!
Bai Ou was so happy after hearing this that he fell backwards and picked up a handful of meat for him to comfort his injured body and mind. "How can a big boss like you dress like this to work? Don't you have any decent clothes?"
Zhou Sheng had a blank expression on his face. "The clothes of the Fashou family cost 200,000 yuan for clothes, 100,000 yuan for pants, and 120,000 yuan for slippers."
Bai Ou: “…”
I have worn military uniforms since I was a child and wore whatever I was given at school, so people who have no concept of luxury goods find it difficult to understand.
"Luckily, someone in the police station knew me." Zhou Sheng said with lingering fear, "Not only did they check the surveillance, but they also caught the fugitive suspect in time, which cleared my grievances. Otherwise, I would have been behind bars! I have to give him a police flag to thank him!"
Bai Ou also agreed with this point: "We should thank them."
"Oh, forget it, let's not talk about it." Zhou Sheng was open-minded and quickly put the unhappiness behind him. He concentrated on talking to Bai Ou about the past. "You've been gone for so many years, and Song Yanming hasn't been seen for the past two years. It's been a long time since the three of us got together. We must find time to get together..."
Bai Yuan accompanied him for lunch and listened to a lot of Zhou Sheng’s embarrassing childhood stories. His stereotype of Boss Zhou continued +1+1+1… plus plus plus until he got tired of it.
Although Zhou Sheng was taken to the police station due to a misunderstanding and it turned out to be a false alarm in the end, for him, the matter was far from over.
On the day when people were wrongly arrested for watching the excitement, many people held up their mobile phones to take photos and videos.
Many people recorded the video of Zhou Sheng being arrested.
After the video was posted online with a title, netizens quickly recognized him as the boss of Shenghua Entertainment.
It's a big deal if the boss is caught soliciting prostitution.
For a time, Shenghua Entertainment was surrounded by negative news and the stock market was in turmoil. Although the public relations department tried its best to delete posts and control the fermentation of public opinion.
But there are too many people paying attention to this matter. With the added bonus of being in the entertainment industry, she has a huge amount of traffic of her own, and I can’t delete them all even if I stroke my keyboard until it smokes.
The night Zhou Sheng was put in the detention room, everyone in Shenghua Entertainment was so busy that their heads were spinning. The company was in a state of chaos, and they almost contacted Zhou Sheng's parents who were far away in Beijing to come and clean up the mess.
Fortunately, Zhou Sheng was only detained for one night and was released in less than twenty-four hours.
The police station also promptly clarified the matter on its official account and restored the truth.
Others posted videos from many angles, and they all showed the suspect, who was wearing the same blue floral shirt, passing by Zhou Sheng, who was wearing the same clothes.
But clarifications and official announcements alone are not enough for this kind of thing.
No matter how timely you clarify, there will be people who only read half of the article. When they see the big boss being arrested, they start cursing that "the world is going downhill" and don't even read a word of the new announcement.
There are also conspiracy theorists who point to the clarification video and insist that this is a collusion between officials and businessmen, just like the ancient practice of replacing a death row prisoner with a fake one, where they just randomly find someone to put on the same clothes, and then bring in a bunch of extras to cooperate with the performance.
In the comment section, you can even see comments saying that the video was synthesized by AI.
At this point, if an ordinary person was surrounded by "black material", it would be passed around and the false information would become true, and over time it would be impossible to wash it off completely and it would become a stain that would follow him for the rest of his life.
But Zhou Sheng is a fool with good fortune.
After the video was released, netizens soon discovered that the big boss looked so familiar, and after a closer look, wow! What a guy!
Isn't this the unlucky guy who put a crystal ball in his office two years ago and ended up burning down the office!!!
As soon as Geng’s army arrived, the comment section was filled with comments like “It turned out to be you”, and the reputation of this misunderstanding immediately became abstract.
Although the meme is popular, there are too many people to listen to it, and there are always some that you haven’t heard of.
When someone asks, someone answers. As time goes by, Boss Zhou's glorious deeds are brought to light again.
As a result, all the things he did in Haiqi in the past two years were also exposed again.
"I have seen this brother before."
"Who is Zhou Sheng? I've never heard of him."
"How could there still be someone who doesn't know Boss Zhou?! I'll show you the ghost videos I've kept for years!"
"We, the big CP fans, have something to say!"
"It has topped the ranking of the stupid news for three consecutive years. Needless to say, it's really powerful!"
"It may be true that others got into trouble, but there is a 99% chance that Boss Zhou got into trouble because he was unlucky."
"How unlucky can a person be..."
——It has brought back its declining reputation.
No one will watch a rumor these days, but if you tell a silly joke, everyone will be happy.
Upon seeing this, the public relations department, after careful consideration, decided to sacrifice their boss's reputation and add fuel to the fire for the sake of their rising stock price.
Two and a half hours after the clarification announcement was issued.
An article titled "My boss dropped in on the set to visit on the first day and rode away on a pig" dominated the front page of Weibo.
The 8,000-word article eloquently restores the entire process of the "riding a pig" incident that year.
Mainly talked about two things.
1: The man riding the pig is my boss.
2: My boss is Zhou Sheng.
As soon as this article came out, it caused an instant uproar, detonating the entire Internet like a bolt from the blue or a thunder in the deep sea.
The comments section was filled with "?", which was enough to show everyone's fan-shaped confusion, shock, doubt, disbelief and surprise after hearing the truth.
[Kitten: Huh? .jpg]Apply to go to battle.
After recovering from the shock, netizens became more energetic:
"Is this right, folks?"
"It's you again! Boss Zhou!"
"Who understands, my family, the couple I've been supporting for three years turned out to be Narcissus, and the couple in the corner that no one cared about broke up..."
"Don't do anything weird upstairs"
"What happened to you, Narcissus?! Come and fight me!"
"I didn't believe it, so I checked the GIFs in the emoticon package again. It was really him. This time I believed it and I became honest."
"Boss Zhou, you hid it very well. Is there anything I don't know?"
"How many more surprises can you give me?"
“Hahaha, it does taste like that…”
"I was saying, how can Haiqi City be worthy of having two such great generals at the same time!"
"The Crouching Dragon and Phoenix School no longer exists!"
"Sure enough, I should have thought it was you when I saw this bizarre and stupid thing!"
"It's closed the loop, family members!"
"Always imitated, never surpassed"
"We thought it was the battle of the century, but it turned out to be a one-man carnival for you..."
"It was Boss Zhou who killed Boss Zhou!"
"Are you saying that not only was Boss Zhou mistakenly arrested and detained for wearing the same clothes as a criminal suspect for watching the fun, but his secret pig riding three years ago was also exposed and made public, with the entire internet mocking him?"
“Haha ...
“Haha ...
"Boss Zhou: When I woke up, the sky was falling"
"I still can't believe that a person can be so unlucky. Are you sure this isn't a script?"
"How can a script be so abstract?"
"Another proof that AI cannot replace humans!"
"Can a Zhou scholar please verify whether this news is from Boss Zhou?"
……
……
Once a joke starts, it is unstoppable. It spreads faster than rumor-refuting and clarification announcements, reaches a wider range, and is more deeply rooted in people's hearts.
It quickly replaced the original negative news, cleared Zhou Sheng's name and restored his reputation, resolving a major public relations crisis.
In less than half a day, the stocks that had fallen experienced ups and downs as exciting as a roller coaster ride. Not only did they rise back, they continued to rise until they reached the daily limit.
The PR team cheered in the office and opened champagne to celebrate this historic moment. The year-end bonus was settled!
Everyone's face was filled with genuine satisfaction.
Zhou Sheng may become the biggest winner and the only victim of this incident.
After separating from Zhou Sheng, that night, Bai Yuan brought Bai Ou to the pomegranate garden to keep a date.
The garden is still as prosperous as ever, with every seat being filled and the air filled with fragrance.
Entrusted by Pei Jin, I know that it is a top priority for Young Master Pei to meet his elder brother-in-law, so I have to perform well.
Dong Tao, the owner of Pomegranate Garden, rolled up his sleeves and rushed to the kitchen, using all his skills to prepare a table full of delicious dishes to entertain Bai Ou.
At the same time, taking advantage of the time when the brother and sister had not arrived yet, he, as an experienced person, gave Pei Jin a lecture by words and deeds.
He once again started his stomach-stealing method of "If you want to catch a person, you must first catch his stomach."
As a former exile, Pei Jin knew that mastering cooking was an essential survival skill.
When Dong Tao brought Bai Yuan to the Pomegranate Garden for the first time in high school, he wanted to teach Pei Jin how to cook.
At that time, Young Master Pei appeared disdainful and disgusted on the surface.
In fact, he secretly returned to the Pomegranate Garden and learned a lot of home-cooking dishes from Dong Tao.
Facing Dong Tao's smile without saying anything, Master Pei said awkwardly:
Cooking isn’t just for satisfying your girlfriend’s appetite. Once you learn it, you can also cook for yourself!
When you go abroad to study as a student in the future, you won’t have to suffer the hardship of eating potatoes anymore!
This time Bai Ou came, according to Dong Tao's intention, to let Pei Jin roll up his sleeves and show his skills himself. If he doesn't make a splash, he will surprise everyone.
But Pei Jin had only followed Dong Tao in cooking in his own kitchen, and was at a loss when faced with the five-star kitchen of Shiyuan.
After breaking two crystal plates, four ceramic bowls and kicking over a pot of potatoes, he was finally successfully expelled from the kitchen by Dong Tao and was not allowed to step in again.
"That's fine." Dong Tao held a kitchen knife in his hand and said to Pei Jin before closing the kitchen door with a gloomy face, "It's such an important occasion. If you fail, it will be ruined. I have to be the chef to be at ease."
In the end, except for the first few vegetables that were washed by Pei Jin, the rest of the dishes on the table were all prepared by Dong Tao.
Dong Tao: "It's all about emptying the stomach, so it doesn't matter who does it. The best way is to empty it!"
Pei Jin: …
But no matter how much Dong Tao planned, he didn't expect that Bai Ou's eating was no different from a cow chewing a peony.
No matter whether it tastes good or not, I dare to put it all in my mouth.
The main idea is that as long as it doesn’t kill you, just eat it with your eyes closed.
Faced with this table full of delicious dishes worthy of a state banquet, it is hard to say anything about them.
Just ask, it’s delicious and I love it, please give me another bowl.
The only thing that made Dong Tao feel gratified was Bai Ou’s appetite.
Just ask yourself, which chef, after working hard to prepare a table full of delicious dishes, doesn’t like to see diners eating them with gusto?
"Eat it all" is the best compliment to the chef.
When a dish like that is served, everyone praises it, but in fact, no one even moves their chopsticks. It looks fancy, but the core of it is just one thing - it tastes bad.
In order to avoid eating, you can only praise it as much as you can. The more you talk and praise it, the less you eat. But never let your mouth be idle, because once it is idle, you will have to continue eating.
If the food is delicious, your mouth would be full long ago, so how could you have a chance to speak?
Anyway, after the meal, no one knows whether Dong Tao and Pei Jin satisfied Bai Ou's stomach, but Bai Ou definitely captured the heart of a chef.
Bai Yuan: This appetite is because when he was a child, I stuffed him with rice in order to make him talk less and eat more.
However, Bai Ou did not come here just to eat this time.
Let’s put eating and drinking aside for now, the serious thing is to look at your future brother-in-law.
The smiling eyes fell on Pei Jin, causing him to sit straighter involuntarily. His heart began to beat fast, and he looked no different from a primary school student preparing to face his teacher's inspection.
