"Why are he and I under the trending hashtags?" Lily asks curiously.
After taking the iPad and looking at the screen, she finally understands.
It turns out that after the promotional short movie about the new product goes viral on various video websites and Weibo, some netizens try to find out who the male lead and female lead are, based on their profiles in the video.
In the end, they do find out.
The netizens aren't surprised that Lily is in the video, but when they see that the male lead is Louis, they are curious about how a busy big shot has the time to shoot a video, and then they start to gossip online about the two leads.
When Lily worked in the Smith Group, there once was a piece of gossip that Lily and Louis were dating each other. And now they have co-stared in a short movie. Thinking of all this, the netizens conclude that the two of them are in a romantic relationship. The heated discussions are such that the two leads' relationship becomes a trending hashtag.
Lily's mouth twitches when she read the online comments.
She never expected that Louis would participate in this short film.
When Louis came to attend the meeting with HS Company the other day, she and he quarreled over the male actor. She challenged him that he would be worse if he were the male lead. This must be the reason why he is in the video.
If she had known such a sensation was to happen, she wouldn't have argued with Louis.
Ella glances at Lily and says, "President Lily, about the news, should I...?"
"No, you don't have to take it down. Just ignore it." Lily returns the iPad to Ella. "They can say whatever they want. They can't hurt me. Besides, we can use Mr. Smith's influence to promote our new product."
"Aren't you afraid that President Heller Hodge will be jealous?" Ella jokes.
Ever since John comes to the company, he has been taking good care of Lily. The employees all know about it.
Previously, they thought it was just a rumor that spread in the industry. It turns out Lily and the new CEO is really seeing each other.
Lily smiles, "He won't get jealous about a trending topic."
However, after Ella left, Lily thinks about it and is a little worried, so she calls John through the inside line and tells him about the online gossip.
John expresses his understanding. "I understand."
Lily thinks that he really understands her, so she feels relieved and soon puts the matter behind her.
Afterwards, every time she goes to his office to see him, he barely talks to her, and he has a sullen expression. About five days later, she finally realizes that he is angry.
"Why are you like this? I'm here with you. There is no one else. If it weren't for the promotion of the new product, I wouldn't have made the movie with him." Lily doesn't know whether to laugh or cry at John's sulk and jealousy.
"I know. I understand," John says. "I'm not jealous. Don't overthink it."
Lily doesn't say anything else.
Afraid that he will be like that in the next few days, Lily asks Ella to contact the media. She decides to hold a press conference in HS Company.
It is held in the conference room in the afternoon.
At the press conference, Lily declares that she and Mr. Smith of the Smith Group are in a cooperative relationship. The two companies are business partners. As to the rumor the netizens spread that she and Louis are dating each other, it's false.
A reporter sees the huge pink diamond on her finger and asks loudly, "President Lily, who gave you that pink diamond? Don't say you bought it yourself. We won't believe it!"
"Your eyes are really sharp." Lily smiles and raises her hand to show everyone the pink diamond. "This pink diamond was given to me by my fiancé. Isn't it nice? I wear it specially to show it to you today."
"President Lily, who is your fiancé?"
"Sorry, I didn't tell you about this." Lily looks at the camera with a gentle smile. "My fiancé is known to everyone. He is John Dawn, the new CEO of HS Company."
The reporters gasped.
Another reporter asks, "President Lily, are you getting married?"
Lily nods with a smile. "Yes, I've been visiting the bridal shops to pick out a wedding dress. We're getting married at St. Peter Cathedral on the 25th of this month. You're all welcome to the wedding."
Lily's answer shocks the reporters.
