Chapter 168 Ask him to take a more handsome photo of me next time!
evening!
In a seafood restaurant near the beach park, Su Chen stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the private room and could just see the scenery on the beach.
As the lights come on, seven or eight towering lighthouses on the beach shroud the entire beach in orange light, which shines together with the landscape lights, making it particularly beautiful.
“I didn’t expect the beach view to be so beautiful tonight!”
"Click~" Just as Su Chen was still sighing, the door of the private room was suddenly opened, and several tightly wrapped figures walked in.
Su Chen looked back and couldn't help laughing when he saw the expressions on their faces.
"I say that being a star is really tiring sometimes. You have to be fully armed when you go out."
The people who came were Deng Chao, Chen He and Lu Zi. They all wore baseball caps and half-enclosed masks, leaving their eyes mostly exposed.
I'm not particularly familiar with him. Who would recognize him if he walked on the street dressed like this?
Deng Chao, who was walking in the front, took off his mask and said helplessly, "I didn't wear these things when I went out before. Recently, an app called Douyin was released. If someone takes a picture of me without paying attention, it will spread quickly."
"If we don't pay attention to our privacy, we might be blocked by fans."
"Who said it wasn't? Someone filmed me while I was filming a variety show today, and it even became a trending topic on Douyin."
"Mr. Su, you have no idea how many people were around the beach in the afternoon. There were at least several thousand people. We almost couldn't leave after filming the show." Chen He also echoed.
When Su Chen heard what the two said, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. If he said that he was the largest shareholder of Douyin, would he be forced to drink by them?
After everyone sat down, Su Chen signaled Jiang Hui to notify the waiter to serve the food.
As Jiang Hui walked out of the private room, Deng Chao's cell phone on the table rang. Seeing the call, he was a little confused for a moment, not knowing whether he should answer it.
"What's the matter? Did the Queen call to check on you?" Su Chen saw Deng Chao's expression and joked with a smile.
Deng Chao turned over the phone screen and said, "No, it was Reba calling."
"Reba~" Su Chen's eyes lit up when he heard this name.
If we talk about female celebrities in the entertainment industry that Su Chen is interested in, apart from the married Yang Mi, the only one left is Reba.
"Just answer it." Chen He on the side said without thinking it was a big deal.
Deng Chao also noticed the change in Su Chen's expression just now, and with Chen He echoing him, he immediately answered the call.
"Well, let's eat. A seafood feast. Chen He, Lu Zi and the three of us are together."
"Say~you are coming."
Deng Chao looked at Su Chen and asked for his opinion.
Of course Su Chen agreed. If he really came, he could see up close how beautiful this Uyghur girl is and see if she is any different from what he sees on the Internet.
"But we have a friend here. If you don't mind, come over!" Deng Chao must make things clear. If they see Su Chen, a stranger, coming down, and just turn around and leave, that would be a slap in their faces.
"Okay~ It's near the hotel we're staying at. I'll send you the location!"
After saying that, Deng Chao hung up the phone and sent the location of the seafood restaurant.
"That foodie still can't resist the temptation of a seafood feast." Chen He couldn't help but joked.
"Good food? Don't you celebrities have to control your diet and manage your body shape?" Su Chen suddenly noticed that Chen He's face looked a lot fatter than before, and immediately changed the subject: "Speaking of which, He, why do I feel like you have gained weight after the New Year?"
After hearing Su Chen's words, Chen He felt as if he was pierced by thousands of arrows. He leaned back in his chair with a look of despair on his face, which made Deng Chao and Lu Zi beside him laugh.
Family members know their own business. Chen He just indulged himself a little during the Chinese New Year and gained more than ten pounds in a month, and all of the weight was in a very conspicuous position.
Things like the face, jaw, belly, etc., anyone who is familiar with it can tell them at a glance.
"I don't want to gain weight, but who told me that I have a physique that is prone to obesity and I will gain weight even if I drink water!" Chen He tried to defend himself.
Hearing this, everyone laughed even louder.
There are very few fat people in the entertainment industry, the main reason is that they don't look photogenic. Of course, some comedians don't have too high image requirements.
Reba arrived very quickly, in less than five minutes.
When they came, they were similar to Deng Chao and others before, all fully armed and covering themselves tightly.
When she took off her mask and hat, Su Chen was also attracted by the beauty of the Uyghur girl and couldn't help but look at her several more times.
After entering the private room, Reba also looked at Su Chen. She has been working in the entertainment industry for several years and still has a good eye.
The first thing she noticed when she came in was Su Chen sitting in the main seat, with Deng Chao and Chen He sitting on either side of him. She knew at a glance who the protagonist of the evening was.
This discovery made her unsure whether it was right or wrong for her to come to eat this seafood dinner. After all, at the beginning she thought that Deng Chao and his people were in charge.
"Reba~ sit down quickly, why are you still standing there!" Deng Chao was also an experienced man. He could tell what Reba was thinking at a glance and quickly asked her to sit next to him.
Upon hearing this, Reba hurriedly sat down next to Deng Chao, but she glanced at Su Chen from time to time, wanting to know who this person was.
Coincidentally, Su Chen also happened to look over here, and their eyes met. Reba quickly retracted her gaze like a cat caught stealing fish, with a hint of pink on her pretty face.
Seeing this, Su Chen smiled slightly.
Deng Chao also gave a brief introduction to Su Chen and Reba. When Reba heard Deng Chao call Su Chen Mr. Su, the curiosity in her eyes became even stronger.
"Would you like to have a drink tonight?" Chen He asked when he saw that everyone was familiar with each other.
Su Chen waved his hand and said, "Don't drink the wine. This is a perfect gout meal with seafood. Let's drink some freshly squeezed juice."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Hui pushed open the door and walked in, accompanied by several waiters, each holding a plate of exquisitely prepared seafood delicacies.
Tonight's seafood dinner was particularly sumptuous. Su Chen ordered five king crabs alone, and he was told there would be even more Australian Longxi abalone and other abalone.
Soon the table was filled with various seafood delicacies.
Smelling the fragrance in the air, Deng Chao and others, who had been tired all day, couldn't help but feel hungry.
"Why are you all standing there? Let's eat!" Looking at everyone's gazes, Su Chen said with a smile.
After Su Chen said this, Deng Chao and others, who had been eager for a long time, started to fight directly. Only Lu Zi and Reba seemed a little reserved.
But gradually Su Chen found that Luzi and Reba had put aside their worries. After all, being reserved and hungry were more important. They ate the hairy crab legs in one hand and the lobster meat in the other, and they were so satisfied.
Especially Reba, Su Chen finally understood what Deng Chao and the others meant when they said she was a foodie. He started peeling the shell of another lobster before he even swallowed the one in his mouth.
Just like that little hamster.
The meal took more than an hour. At this time, Su Chen and others were leaning back in their chairs, resting, touching their bulging stomachs.
"Ah~ I ate so much today and I don't know if I will gain weight tomorrow!" Reba sighed.
Chen He at the side laughed and joked, "Hahaha~ Who was eating the most enthusiastically just now? They were eating one Australian lobster in each hand."
As soon as these words were spoken, Su Chen and the others burst into laughter. Reba's pretty face also blushed, and when she thought about her previous appearance, she wanted to dig a hole and bury herself in it.
It's really too social.
Before they knew it, they were chatting until 10 o'clock in the evening, and the restaurant waiter even came to remind them that the store was about to close.
Su Chen and his friends were not surprised by the restaurant closing so early. After all, there was little nightlife in the north, and the only restaurants open until eleven or twelve o'clock or even in the early morning might only serve barbecue.
"Let's go. It's getting late. You should go back and get some rest. You still have to film a variety show tomorrow." When they came out of the restaurant, Deng Chao and the others did not wrap themselves up tightly like before. After all, it was already ten o'clock and there were not many people on the street, so they did not have to worry about being seen.
Deng Chao and the other two were a bit cunning. They walked in front of them in a tacit understanding, looking like they were discussing something. Su Chen could only chat with Reba. As for Jiang Hui, he walked at the back very sensibly.
Su Chen and Reba were staying in the same hotel. When they arrived at the hotel gate, Su Chen specifically asked Reba to go in first to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings.
But what they didn't notice was that a man was squatting on the side of the road not far from them, holding a SLR camera and taking pictures excitedly, muttering quietly, "I've made a fortune, I've made a fortune, it's going to be on tomorrow's hot news."
"What should I call it? Shocked Reba and the mysterious man strolling on the beach at night?"
"It's better to ask the goddess of domestic entertainment and the mysterious man to enter the same hotel!"
If Su Chen heard this, he would have to sigh that these paparazzi really know how to write headlines. A gathering of six people became a performance of two people in his camera. His writing style is really unique.
The next morning, Reba was still dreaming in bed when the phone beside her bed rang.
A snow-white, slender hand stretched out from under the quilt, fumbled around for a while before finding the phone, answered the call and said in a daze, "Hello~"
"My dear aunt, how come you have a scandal when you are filming a variety show?"
Hearing the familiar voice on the phone, Reba was instantly startled and woke up.
After taking a look at the caller ID and seeing the three big words "Da Mi Mi" on it, I knew I was not hallucinating. I quickly sat up from the bed. The quilt slid down her delicate body, revealing a beautiful picture. Unfortunately, no one saw this beautiful scene.
"Sister Mi, what scandal? I didn't do anything." Reba is a little confused now, wondering why she has a scandal.
"I sent you the link on the green bubble, let's see what's going on!"
Hearing this, Reba quickly opened her green bubble and found a message in the top column. When she clicked on the link and saw the title, she felt like she was going to faint.
"Shocking! The new generation of Xiaohua is having a secret meeting with a mysterious man!"
The accompanying picture was a photo of Su Chen and her returning to the hotel last night, and the angle of the photo was very tricky, making it look like they were very intimate. Reba's face could be seen clearly, but Su Chen could only see her side profile, and it was not very clear.
Anyone who sees it will naturally think of it as a couple taking a walk.
"ctmd, these paparazzi are so shameless." Reba couldn't help but swear.
"Have you finished reading it? Auntie, please tell me what happened and who that man is?" Yang Mi's voice sounded again.
Reba took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and recounted everything that happened last night from beginning to end, including the respect that Su Chen, Chen He and others had for him, and he told every detail clearly.
After listening to Reba's story, Yang Mi on the other end of the phone fell silent.
After a long while, her voice finally rang out, "Are you sure that Mr. Su has a background that is not simple?"
"Hmm~ It shouldn't be that simple." Reba thought about what she heard last night. "From their conversation, it seems that Mr. Su is very familiar with those second-generation people of Sicong. It seems that they even opened a chain store called Yangcun together."
Su Chen and the others mentioned it casually when they were chatting last night, but unexpectedly Reba took note of it.
Yang Mi and Deng Chao have always had a good personal relationship, so she naturally knew that he had suddenly become wealthy last year. She also learned indirectly that he had found someone with his connections and opened several restaurants, which were named Yangcun.
"Could it be that the big shot he is talking about is this Mr. Su?" For a moment, Yang Mi also fell silent.
After all, Yang Mi has been in the entertainment industry for more than ten years, so she quickly came up with a solution.
"Just pretend you don't know anything about this and do what you need to do!" After saying that, Yang Mi hung up the phone.
Reba looked at the hung up phone with a face full of question marks. Why was he so anxious at the beginning, but now he asked her to pretend that she didn't know?
He shook his head, put the phone aside and continued to lie down.
At this time, Weibo and Douyin were buzzing with noise. After all, Reba was the dream goddess of so many people, and the topic quickly climbed to the top ten.
There were many different opinions on the Internet for a while.
At this time, the other party was also awakened by the knocking on the door.
Looking at the anxious Deng Chao outside the door, Su Chen rubbed his eyes which were not fully opened yet and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry so early in the morning? What happened?"
"Mr. Su, how about this?" Deng Chao quickly handed over his cell phone.
Su Chen took the phone with some confusion, and when he saw the report on it, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
I used to read all kinds of gossip about celebrities on the Internet, but I never thought that one day these gossips would happen to me.
"Tsk tsk~ This paparazzi's skills are not good. He didn't capture my handsomeness at all. He only captured half of my face. Bad review!" Su Chen commented for a while.
Hearing Su Chen's words, Deng Chao was also somewhat confused.
Come on, brother, I came to you to discuss how to solve the problem, why are you admiring your own beautiful photos?
Of course, Su Chen also noticed Deng Chao's anxious expression, and asked him to go inside. After all, it was not a good idea to stand at the door all the time.
Just as Su Chen sat down, there was another knock on the door. When he opened the door, as expected, he saw Chen He and Lu Zi both looking at him anxiously.
"Mr. Su, you..." Chen He was interrupted by Su Chen raising his hand before he could finish his words.
"Okay, come in first!"
As soon as the two came in, they saw Deng Chaozheng sitting on the sofa and greeting them.
"Why are you two here too?"
"You are talking about us, but you are the same. You come alone without calling your brothers!" Chen He rolled his eyes at him and said.
Deng Chao was also helpless when he heard this, and quickly explained: "I was playing chess with Zhou Gong, and it was Da Mi Mi who called me, otherwise I wouldn't know."
Hearing this, Chen He and the other person nodded as if they suddenly understood something. They both knew that Deng Chao and Yang Mi had a close relationship.
"Well~ Da Mi Mi called you, so did she say how to solve this problem?" Su Chen became a little curious.
This kind of thing had no impact on Su Chen. No one would recognize himself in the photo as Su Chen unless he was close to someone, so he had nothing to worry about.
As for having his account opened by someone with bad intentions, Su Chen doesn't have to worry about it. He doesn't think anyone has this ability. After all, he is an information tycoon and has already hidden all the information related to himself.
Deng Chao said somewhat embarrassedly: "Da Mi Mi wants to take a cold approach to this matter. After two days have passed, we can send out the photos of our dinner party and clarify the matter."
Taking photos while eating is something that no one can avoid, including celebrities like them.
"She called me just to ask for your opinion, Mr. Su." Deng Chao felt a little guilty about what he said.
Hearing this, Su Chen knew that Yang Mi wanted to use this hot topic to hype up some popularity, but she was worried that Su Chen would be angry, so she asked Deng Chao to ask for his opinion.
Su Chen leaned back on the sofa, thought for a moment and said, "For your sake, Deng Chao, I'll give her five days to resolve this matter."
After all, it was Deng Chao. Even Chen He and Lu Zi looked at Su Chen in surprise. They all thought Su Chen would refuse, but unexpectedly he agreed, especially saying that he did it for Deng Chao's sake.
Su Chen noticed the changes in the expressions of the three people and said jokingly, "Why, from the looks of you guys, you still want me to refuse?"
Deng Chao quickly waved his hands and smiled, "No, no, no, how is that possible? Mr. Su, I thank you on behalf of Da Mi Mi and Reba."
"Don't be so pretentious. If it wasn't for you, Deng Chao, who asked me to do this, would I agree? Remember to owe me a meal!"
"Okay, go ahead and do your work. I'm going to take a nap."
After hearing Su Chen's order to leave, the three of them bowed and left.
Reba, who was still sleeping at the time, could never have imagined that this little hype would make her the new darling of the circle.
