Chapter 54

"Didn't you ask me at all? I remember when we were filming, I said I would edit a short video and post it online. At that time, you didn't object, right?" Hao Meng said with a smile. He had also seen the news online and was basically certain that it would only bring benefits to Xu Meng, not harm, because she was someone who wanted to make it in the entertainment industry. On the contrary, it probably had a significant impact on Chen Yuqing!

"Is ninety minutes considered a short video?" Xu Meng said through gritted teeth, wishing she could drag Hao Meng over, crumple him up, and stomp him flat under her feet.

Hao Meng touched his nose and said, "Originally, I planned to make a two-hour documentary. Ninety minutes is already a reduction. Hehe, ladies, anger ages you fast, and you'll get wrinkles, making you enter menopause earlier!"

"Go to hell!" Xu Meng angrily hung up the phone.

Lifting her head, she inadvertently saw the video playing and watched it from beginning to end. The entire documentary seemed tailor-made for her, and her and Chen Yuqing's images were both so beautiful.

"Who would have thought that little guy had some skills!" Xu Meng muttered to herself. She hadn't expected to suddenly become famous.

Within twelve hours, the documentary "Campus Beauty's Sichuan Tour" had over five million views.

As a result, Xu Meng now dared not go out on the street, fearing she would be recognized and unable to get away. Chen Yuqing, on the other hand, had fewer concerns. After watching the entire documentary, she directly posted a statement on Weibo.

"I'm just an ordinary person. I don't want to be a star, and I have no intention of entering the entertainment industry. Please don't bother me, OK? Also, in the documentary, I was just a supporting role. Xu Meng is the main character. She will definitely enter the entertainment industry. If you're interested, you can pay more attention to her!"

Even so, Chen Yuqing still encountered fans who wanted to take photos with her and get her autograph. Chen Yuqing ignored all of them!

Facing reporters who wanted to interview her, she famously said, "Whoever publishes my photo in the newspaper will receive a lawyer's letter. I won't accept any of your interviews. Get lost!"

Chen Yuqing indirectly became famous too, but she didn't want to live in the spotlight. When her temper flared, she didn't care whether you were a reporter or anyone else; she would scold you without hesitation.

Compared to Chen Yuqing, who occasionally showed up, Xu Meng was much more silent. After becoming famous, she basically stayed at home, not going out. Many entertainment companies tried to contact her through acquaintances, including some top companies in the industry, offering good terms. However, Xu Meng refused them all, citing her studies as her priority and not considering it for the time being!

As for the uploader, Hao Meng, he still lived a simple life, as if the news about Xu Meng and Chen Yuqing had nothing to do with him.

In just three days, the number of views for "Campus Beauty's Sichuan Tour" online had exceeded fifty million. The two campus beauties had already topped the national campus beauty chart. Xu Meng's fan base had directly surpassed three million, and her Weibo followers numbered five million. She was clearly a rising star in the entertainment industry. As for Chen Yuqing, she had many fans too, but her aspirations lay elsewhere!

"Hao Meng, I have some good news to tell you!" Yang Xiaoshuang called, giggling.

Hao Meng leaned back on the sofa, having nothing to do in the morning and not going out. He had just been thinking about whether to go to the second-hand market when the little girl's call came.

"What good news?"

"Tonight, my mom wants to invite you for dinner." Yang Xiaoshuang giggled.

"Uh!" Hao Meng was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Why would your mom want to invite me for dinner?"

Yang Xiaoshuang paused and said, "My mom said you are my important business partner and investor, and she wants to thank you. Anyway, she just wants to meet you and see what kind of person you are."

"Can I not go?" Hao Meng said with a bitter smile.

"Hehe, of course not! See you at 7:30 PM at Shuanglin Hotel." Yang Xiaoshuang hung up after saying that.

Hao Meng held his phone, still a bit confused. Why did Yang Xiaoshuang's mother want to meet him? But if he was going to meet her, he might as well go. After all, he and the little girl had no secrets to hide.

...

Gan Jing drove the police car with full concentration. In the passenger seat sat a bald, broad-shouldered man. From his appearance, he didn't look old, but he exuded a fierce aura that made people hesitant to look directly at him.

"Once we see him, you speak for yourself!" Gan Jing parked the car in front of Hao Meng's second-hand appliance store and turned to the man.

"Okay!" Tieniu grunted, a glint of spirit flashing in his eyes before quickly returning to a dull state.

"Let's go!"

Gan Jing opened the door and got out, leading Tieniu into the store.

Hao Meng looked at the two people who entered, a bit taken aback, and his brows involuntarily furrowed. He hadn't expected the policewoman to really bring someone to him!

However, he didn't show it on his face and smiled, saying, "Officer Gan, hello, please have a seat!"

"I'm here this time for Tieniu. I mentioned it to you on the phone before, but I didn't explain clearly. Tieniu's injuries are almost fully healed, but there's something wrong with his head..." Gan Jing pointed to her own head and said, "We haven't been able to contact his family, so we want him to stay with you for a while!"

"That might not be appropriate!" Hao Meng said expressionlessly. Who would take responsibility after saving someone?

Before Officer Gan could speak, Tieniu said in a deep voice, "You are my savior, and I am willing to follow you. My name is Tieniu, and I am strong. I can do any job. You saved my life, so I belong to you. I will follow you from now on, and you are my big brother. Whatever you say, I will do!"

Tieniu's words not only stunned Hao Meng but also made Officer Gan, who was sitting on the sofa, pause.

Hao Meng pondered, thinking the words sounded like those of a gangster. He turned to Gan Jing and pointed to his own head, asking, "Are you sure there's something wrong with his head?"

Gan Jing was silent for a moment and then said with a bitter smile, "The doctor said so. Whether it's true or not, I can't say. Whether to let him stay is up to you. If you don't want to, I'll take him away now!"

Hao Meng turned to look at Tieniu, who was standing. At 1.9 meters tall and very muscular, anyone who saw him would secretly admire him as a fine man.

"Let him stay, then. I was thinking of hiring someone recently. I'll have him start, and if it doesn't work out, I'll call you!" Hao Meng gritted his teeth and decided to keep the big guy.

Gan Jing left, and as for Tieniu, Hao Meng wasn't sure how to arrange things for him yet.

"Big Brother, Tieniu isn't stupid!" Tieniu suddenly said, lowering his head.

Hao Meng was taken aback and then burst out laughing, "Ha, that's good. If you were really stupid, I'd be worried. Since you're not, you can stay in the store and help Aunt Shufen. Don't call me Big Brother; I might be younger than you. Call me Mengzi!" The store really needed someone to help with moving things.

"Then I'll call you boss!" Tieniu said.

Hao Meng smiled and said, "Alright, it's noon. Let's have lunch first!"
