When they received the news, people in the major media industries were dumbfounded.
If this news had not come from the higher-ups, and if the heads of various media and industries had not been informed accurately, I'm afraid everyone would think that this was just a huge joke played by the higher-ups on everyone during the New Year's Eve.
There were cries of grief in the Huaxia Information office.
The manuscript that Yu Zilin and others had worked hard to finish before twelve o'clock was immediately invalidated with this notice.
Half an hour ago, everyone was still joking and worrying about what explosive news would come out in the country in the last half hour of December. Everyone thought that the probability of such a thing happening was too low, but who knew that this coincidence like in a story would happen all of a sudden!
"Who said earlier that the news about the Pei family's descendants announcing their marriage would overshadow Feng Nan's news?"
In the office, after a long silence, someone suddenly spoke:
"Can you tell me which number to choose for the first lottery ticket next year?"
The office was in a mess. Yu Zilin spent a lot of time writing a manuscript, but her colleagues wailed when they finally determined that it was unusable. She felt that it was all in vain after being busy all day.
The marriage of the descendants of the Pei family is indeed much more shocking than the various "little things" between these celebrities.
The Pei family is a legendary family. Not to mention its prominent family background and status, even Mr. Pei's marriage was still talked about on the Internet as a match made in heaven, a combination of nobility and a famous family.
When it came to Pei Jinhuai, the whole country was informed as usual. However, with the new generation now having well-developed Internet, the Pei family has become much more low-key compared to the publicity they had in the past.
But even though the Pei family acts low-key, there are still many legends about the Pei family on the Internet.
"Sister Yang."
Yu Zilin reluctantly clicked save on the manuscript, "Even if Huaxia News puts this news on the headlines, it may not remain popular for long."
No matter how curious the public is about a prominent family like the Pei family, compared to the endless news tonight, the number of netizens discussing celebrities and gossip may not be much less than those paying attention to the Pei family's wedding.
“Why don’t we wait until Pei’s wedding is over before releasing Feng Nan’s news.”
The editor-in-chief glanced at her and shook his head firmly:
"No need, just delete this news."
"Why?"
After the editor-in-chief said this, everyone couldn't help but ask questions. The cheek muscles of the woman called Sister Yang trembled slightly:
"Because of this news about Feng Nan, there is no need to go on the news anymore."
Without waiting for anyone to speak, she continued:
"Do you know who this 'Crown Princess' who is about to enter the Pei family is?"
Sister Yang has already said that we should delete the manuscript, but we have been busy working on it for a long time, so how can we bear to delete it just like that
When she mentioned the so-called "Crown Princess", no one was very interested. They guessed that she might be a daughter of a wealthy family. Seeing that no one spoke, Yu Zilin couldn't help but ask:
"Who is it?"
The editor pursed her lips and clasped her arms around her chest:
"It's Jiang Se!"
"… "
When she said it for the first time, no one reacted. When they came to their senses, everyone thought they had heard it wrong, and couldn't help asking again:
"Sister Yang, who are you talking about?"
They are all reporters covering entertainment gossip, and the name Jiang Se is very familiar to everyone.
Yu Zilin was still wondering if this was just a person with the same name, not Jiang Se who had just starred in the movie "God's Redemption" released, but a lady from a prominent family.
"It's Jiang Se."
Their reactions were similar to what Sister Yang had guessed. When she first heard the news, she was stunned for a long time, until she confirmed it again and again, and then she realized that this thing was true!
This news is too valuable, far beyond the news like Tao Cen leaving Century Galaxy or Feng Nan tearing Jiang Se apart.
"Is it Jiang Se? Is it the actress Jiang Se? Is it Jiang Se who just starred in "God's Redemption"? "
"Yes!"
The editor-in-chief's nod of confirmation undoubtedly sent the entire office into a frenzy.
Yu Zilin couldn't help but scream:
"ah… "
“Is this true or false?”
Everyone's reaction was similar to hers. Loud screams rang out in the office. The shock was too strong and no one could calm down.
The editor-in-chief suppressed his inner excitement and clapped his hands vigorously:
"We have received the news and have confirmed it with the higher-ups. There are no mistakes. The authorities will personally announce this news at midnight. You must hurry up and write this news first, and try to send it out on time at midnight!"
This piece of news is bound to make the whole of China boil, and it may cause waves of aftermath in the next few days.
"If everyone works harder this year, the public may find out the truth after learning about the incident."
Jiang Se's fame and status in China will trigger a wave of enthusiasm.
No wonder the editor-in-chief said that Feng Nan's article was no longer needed. After all, once the news of Jiang Se holding hands with the third-generation eldest grandson of the Pei family fades, I'm afraid even fewer people will care about Feng Nan's affairs.
Furthermore, Feng Nan's words such as "Jiang Se has low character and low family background" were refuted in the statement issued by the Pei family.
A girl who can marry into the Pei family must naturally be recognized by the elders of the Pei family. Since the Pei family has recognized her, it proves that Jiang Se's character and personality are impeccable.
Even if we put these factors aside, with the pressure from the Pei family, no media dared to withstand the pressure of what Feng Nan said. Under such circumstances, they openly went against the public and public opinion and continued to report what Feng Nan said, insisting on finding the "disgraceful" things in Jiang Se.
So Feng Nan’s manuscript was indeed no longer needed. Yu Zilin reached out her hand tremblingly and clicked delete.
"But why?" Although the manuscript had been deleted, the office was still not at peace:
"When this started, there was no news at all."
Yu Zilin covered her chest:
"I have seen Jiang Se holding hands with his partner several times."
One time was when she had not yet been transferred to the entertainment section. At the 30th anniversary dinner of Steinay Music Store, Jiang Se was invited to appear arm in arm with a young man in a white suit. Before that, Yu Zilin remembered that they were photographed at the airport, but the news was quickly removed.
At that time, there were rumors that Jiang Se's partner was of extraordinary status. Unfortunately, in the end, because no one discussed it anymore and no one responded, it ended up in nothing.
Later, Yu Zilin met Jiang Se at the airport. When she saw the ring on her hand, she went up to her and asked her a question, and learned that she was engaged.
"I even secretly took photos of them..."
Yu Zilin took out her cell phone from the drawer of her desk and hurriedly flipped through the photo album.
Everyone gathered around, even the editor-in-chief came over. Yu Zilin was so flustered that she almost dropped her phone several times, even though she was holding it firmly.
She calmed herself down and showed everyone the photo that she had secretly taken at the Steinay Music Store dinner.
Although the photo was taken secretly and inconspicuously, it was quite clear. Jiang Se was wearing a black dress and was half-hugged in the arms of the tall Pei Yi. He lowered his head, as if listening to her seriously. His tightly pursed lips and gentle eyes showed his deep admiration for Jiang Se even through the photo.
A photo of the eldest grandson of the Pei family was published when he was born.
During the major event held ten years after China announced its founding, Grandpa Pei once appeared in front of everyone with his young grandson.
At that time, all people had left was a blurry photo of a child. For many years afterwards, the appearance of the eldest grandson of the Pei family was never made public for security reasons.
No one expected that the Pei family's genes would be so good. The eldest grandson was not as old as everyone imagined. Instead, he had a temperament between a teenager and a young man. He had the elegance of his prime, but also a bit of the mature feeling of a young man. Coupled with his unique identity, the scene when he hugged Jiang Se was a pleasing one.
The editor-in-chief snatched the phone from Yu Zilin's hand and looked at it as if he was holding a confidential document:
"Where did you get the photo?"
Yu Zilin was startled and stammered:
"That year, at the party for Steinay's 30th anniversary in Huaxia, Jiang Se and her boyfriend appeared hand in hand, and I secretly took the photo..."
When she was taking the photo, her colleagues tried to stop her, saying that she couldn't release it even if she took it. Although they advised her to stop, Yu Zilin couldn't resist her curiosity and took the photo anyway. She kept the photo and only showed it today.
"Well done! Hahaha..."
The editor was so happy that she almost lost control. The past was different from the present. Jiang Se and her boyfriend's future was still uncertain. Entering the Pei family must not have been a simple process. Things were not even settled yet, so it was understandable that the authorities prevented the photos of Pei Yi and Jiang Se from being exposed.
But now that the Pei family is ready to announce their marriage, there is naturally no need to hide the photo of the two of them anymore.
At that time, many media outlets had photos of Jiang Se and Pei Yi, but under pressure from their superiors, almost every media outlet deleted all of them. The one that Yu Zilin kept may be one of the very few precious early photos of the two of them!
This means that China News may get the first exclusive headline of New Year’s Day in the new year and a new day!
Netizens on the Internet who were eager to know what "important things" Jiang Se was hiding and not making them public kept searching and refreshing the news about Jiang Se and Feng Nan, and they didn't know what was about to happen.
Time was moving towards the New Year's Eve moment, and when the New Year's bell rang at twelve o'clock, China Television, China Culture, the Ministry of Culture and Entertainment, and major media practitioners announced the same news at the first opportunity: General Pei Yingjue's eldest grandson Pei Yi and Jiang Se were engaged, and the wedding would be held in September.
This news, like a bolt from the blue, swept the entire Internet in a very short time.
Everyone's first reaction after seeing this news was the same. They first wanted to confirm Jiang Se's identity and see if she was the actress Jiang Se who had become famous in recent years as everyone imagined.
At this moment, no one cared about Feng Nan's previous revelations. The small news she revealed was like a wave, which was quickly swallowed up by the bigger wave that followed.
After hearing the news, many people who were originally waiting for New Year's Eve all rushed to the building where the Hua Xia TV Station was located in Sheung Wan, the imperial capital. They wanted to know the accuracy of the news as soon as possible and also wanted to confirm whether it was Jiang Se who was about to marry into the Pei family.
Every year during New Year's Eve, Chinese TV stations broadcast a half-hour live broadcast of the scenes of crowds gathering and playing at different scenic spots in the imperial capital during New Year's Eve. The scenes are located in the imperial capital's iconic buildings, such as bustling high-rise buildings, spacious squares, in front of the majestic National Grand Theater, or in the Forbidden City.
But tonight, the scene being broadcast on Hua Xia TV is the square under the Hua Xia TV building in Sheung Wan, the capital. This street block is already packed with people.
In the distance, there was an endless stream of people rushing towards this side, many of them holding glow sticks prepared to celebrate New Year's Day. On the screen, one could vaguely hear someone shouting Jiang Se's name.
The Century Galaxy Building was surrounded by media and fans who had rushed in. For safety reasons, the company had temporarily assigned personnel to maintain security. At the same time, the Imperial Capital guards were also dispatched to control the netizens who were eager to get the truth and rushed into the Century Galaxy Building at all costs.
The company's sign lights were still on, and many staff members who were working overtime tonight were trapped in the building. As long as the crowd did not disperse, the company's employees would not be able to leave.
The Pei family's announcement of the marriage at such a time caused too much of a sensation.
On the Internet, Jiang Se’s social account page was paralyzed for a time and could hardly be refreshed, but even though there were frequent problems, many curious people continued to curse and update.
Some lucky netizens were able to leave messages successfully, waiting for explanations and clarifications from Jiang Se.
Xiao Xingyun: Sese, Sese, are you the one who just announced to be engaged to the eldest grandson of the Pei family
The person pretending to sleep: Is it you, the 'Jiang Se' who is engaged in the Pei family's statement
Hong Gezi: You said earlier that you were engaged. Is your engagement partner Pei Yingjue’s grandson
…
There were many similar messages. Mo Anqi opened the webpage and took a look, and was shocked by the huge amount of messages.
Less than a quarter of an hour after the news was announced on major channels, the number of messages on Jiang Se’s official homepage has reached millions.
The Pei family sent out a strong message at this time, sweeping away all the unfavorable factors that had been hanging over Jiang Se in the past two days, and made Jiang Se the absolute center of tonight's topic.
The unusual movements outside China Television and Century Galaxy are enough to be recorded as the biggest events caused by celebrities in recent years, and all of this can never be replicated.
Tao Cen's affairs are not worth mentioning compared to Jiang Se's marriage, and Feng Nan's accusations cannot stand up to the slightest scrutiny.
The phones of Mo Anqi and other assistants were bombarded with calls. These reporters, eager to get the first hot news, tried every means to contact Mo Anqi and others.
Cell phones, text messages, contact apps, emails and various communication tools kept ringing, making it difficult for several assistants and all staff to cope with them.
Xia Chaoqun, who was far away abroad, was not spared. Even when she was video chatting with Jiang Se, one could hear her three cell phones ringing, and several assistants were sweating profusely.
When Nie Dan called, Xia Chaoqun had just received a call from his father, who was probably asking about Jiang Se's marriage. He had no choice but to disconnect the video call and answer the phone.
"Sese, have you seen the Pei family's statement?"
He was outside at the moment and should have left the imperial capital city, because he could hear the sound of fireworks from the other end of the phone.
“Yes.”
Although she tried her best to sound calm, she could not hide her excitement.
After Feng Nan's incident, Pei Yi called her and told her not to panic, as he was there to support her.
She didn't expect that he would hold it for her in this way.
Until this moment, she was still a little dazed. (To be continued)
