Adopting and Raising the Male Lead and the Villain

Chapter 278

Even though he did all that, Huo Chengming still didn’t get any headlines.

He wondered if he was that unnewsworthy?

Huo Chengming had refreshed Weibo’s hot search some thirty or forty times already.

Zhong Yuhuan was sitting on the sofa across from him, hugging a pillow as she played dumb online games with Han Yingying.

No matter how many times Huo Chengming refreshed, the headline would always be Li Jinyuan.

#Country Owes Younger Brother#

Clicking in, the comment section was full of different types of confessions.

“TVT Please, where can I adopt a younger brother like Li Jinyuan?”

“Upstairs +1. I also want to do charity at orphanages! If I donate money to the orphanage, would I be able to claim a Li Jinyuan?!”

“Huanhuan, look at my brother Li! Brother Li’s super good!”

“I really want a younger brother like Li Jinyuan, ahhhh. He’s clearly young, but can act like an older brother. So much boyfriend power!”

“_(:зゝI remember my younger brother. I would always fight with him at home, but he would always back me up at the most crucial moments…”

“Wuuu, the country owes me a younger brother…”

Huo Chengming had seen stuff like “Country Owes Younger Brother” on the hot searches before, but he wasn’t interested at the time. He didn’t know what it meant either, until today.

What does “Country Owes Younger Brother” mean?

Why isn’t there anyone yelling “Country Owes Older Brother”?

After thinking about it, Huo Chengming really felt like he couldn’t endure it anymore. He made a call to bring his assistant over. Then, he handed a file to his assistant.

The assistant received the files solemnly, thinking that it was something that needed to be transferred to another department immediately. However, when he opened it, he found that it had detailed instructions on how to let reporters take photos, how to buy water armies, buy hot searches, et cetera…

The assistant looked up at Mr. Huo, then at Miss Zhong on the sofa behind him.

Assistant: “…”

Ah, Mr. Huo is really skilled.

Just as the assistant was preparing to leave, Huo Chengming suddenly said, “Wait.”

“Yes, Mr. Huo?”

Huo Chengming opened the drawer again, taking out an envelope for the assistant.

The assistant received it but didn’t dare to immediately open it, so he walked out with the sealed envelope.

After going out, he opened it and found that the envelope was full of photos. The first was a snapshot of Mr. Huo and Miss Zhong eating; the second was them at the foot of the company building; the following pictures… were all of Mr. Huo and Miss Zhong, at the department store, at the company cafeteria, buying ice cream at a small roadside shop… there were all kinds of scenes.

If Mr. Huo hadn’t personally handed them to him, the assistant would assume that some fool had followed them around and taken photos.

These photos…

The assistant scratched his head, Could they be for buying headlines?

Mr. Huo is too awesome, even the pictures are self-provided!

***

Not a single one of the photos that Huo Chengming painstakingly prepared could be bumped up. The assistant asked a professional, who said that they didn’t have any interesting points after glancing through the pictures, so even money wouldn’t be able to make it popular. The assistant was too afraid to tell that to Huo Chengming, so he could only continue to talk with the professionals.

Without waiting for a result from the negotiation, Huo Chengming brought Zhong Yuhuan to attend an investment convention. There were a number of celebrities there, so there would naturally be many reporters as well.

Celebrities and investors sat in different areas.

Investors were in the front and celebrities were at the back, afraid to take the limelight from the investors. It would actually be hard for them to take it today.

In the middle of a sea of beer bellies and balding heads, there sat a tall and handsome Huo Chengming with a slender and beautiful Zhong Yuhuan beside him. They instantly raised the overall appearance value by who knows how many points.

And so, they went on the hot search.

Not because of a meal, nor because of some intimate gesture. Simply because they shone so brightly in a group of middle-aged people with below-average appearances that the photographers couldn’t keep their cameras off them.

When it was time for the video presentation on stage, the cameras would be on them nine times out of ten for shots of the audience.

And so it became #Investment Convention Accident Scene#

“I’m dying. It’s my first time seeing a sugar daddy steal the limelight at an investment convention.”

“Is Li Jinyuan not there?”

“Younger Brother Li: I’m so angry because I’m not there QwQ”

“I really want to marry little Huo!”
