Chapter 160: Untitled
GK released a series of photos of Third Young Master Ye living together with Cheng Anya and Ning Ning.
There was also a small MV where the young kid loudly called for his daddy and mommy.
The best segment was the short story that accompanied the expose. It had a very artistic title: After Seven Years of Heartache, Third Young Master Ye Wins the Heart of the Beau!
When Third Young Master Ye read the papers the next day, he had a slight smile on his face as he gently crumpled the papers and cursed all of Klose’s ancestors once over. He could not resist the temptation of Klose’s face appearing before him and being his punching bag.
Ning Ning excitedly flipped open the papers and read the short story. He rolled on the sofa as he laughed. Third Young Master Ye’s gentle, yet lethal gaze was slightly tempered.
He held the papers and laughed crazily as he ran to the sofa!
The story was actually very simple—Third Young Master Ye and Miss Cheng’s feelings for the past seven years. This was Third Young Master Ye’s original intention, but the twist came when Klose preserved the start and the end of the story and replaced the middle with a campy story he cooked up himself.
He almost implicated everybody in a campy story of magnates.
And so the story goes—Seven years ago, Third Young Master Ye and Miss Cheng fell in love. Both led a happy life but the Ye family objected to their relationship. Old Master Ye tried to split the lovebirds up and some lady got her finger in the pie. Some families went to arms and forced the powerless Miss Cheng to escape from City A. Third Young Master Ye fasted in protest and the two contemplated eloping. Who knew Third Young Master Ye encountered an accident and lost his memory. Miss Cheng waited at the airport for a night, and when she received news of Third Young Master Ye’s death, she lost all her feelings for him and boarded the plane, never to return to City A.
Third Young Master Ye waited for Miss Cheng for a painful seven years. Whilst he impatiently hoped for her return, he looked for a glimpse of Miss Cheng in one woman after another. The story took on a tragic turn and became sad, sorrowful. Third Young Master Ye’s philandering ways were portrayed as a dying romance that spanned seven years. Third Young Master Ye’s flirty ways were justified by his image of one who was enamored with love.
The words carried exceptional emotional torque and brought many to tears.
After all, the story returned to Miss Cheng. Her years spent bringing up her child were described in the most tragic manner possible, and she was portrayed as a woman who endured endless suffering.
Seven years later, the two of them reunited.
As they reunited after their separation, they faced opposition. Klose wrote the romance between Cinderella and her Prince Charming into a campy, yet touching story.
This was especially so during the dating period. He fabricated a few interesting anecdotes about what Third Young Master Ye did when he pursued Miss Cheng. It was passionate, stupid, and an unfortunate one-sided love story between young men. This was a stark contrast between the elegant, cold, and brutal Third Young Master Ye. The story was trying to show the damage love could do to a man, and how Third Young Master Ye became so cold, brutal, and indifferent in his pursuit of Miss Cheng.
The papers helped garner sympathy for Third Young Master Ye.
Gritting his teeth, Third Young Master Ye read on. It was said that the president of GK International Media, Klose, had personally penned it.
Most who knew Klose could not help but shed tears of sympathy for Third Young Master Ye.
Instead of GK’s typical fair and authoritative reporting, this seemed a tad like the tabloids. That, however, would not stop people from frantically buying the papers. It also would not affect GK’s fairness and authoritative reporting.
GK International Media remained mum and not reported anything despite the huge incident between the Ye and the Yun families. A sudden, sensational report from them was no doubt surprising.
Within a day, it had outsold the hot-selling newspapers. It was firmly at the top of the sales charts.
“Klose, you sicko. What did you turn me into?” Third Young Master Ye called the former and said with gritted teeth. He could not resist the temptation to murder him, for he was not the idiot the papers described him to be.
Eloping… Damn it, the old man who was above board, the reluctant Old Master Ye… If it had nothing to do with him, why would he need to elope? Eloping would do just fine, and he was ill-fated enough to meet with an accident? F***!
“Hey, baby, have you seen the papers? See how my writing skills have not deteriorated. Talk about years ago when I was the best writer at Harvard. Hahaha…” Klose laughed gleefully.
Third Young Master Ye’s veins throbbed. This sicko must have been really restless recently. “This is quite different from the original script I sent!”
“Hey, I’d say that the script you sent had no substance in it. There was nothing that would garner attention. As I read it, I made amendments to it to make it livelier. Look at how sales are topping the charts today. Well, Third Young Master Ye baby, you ought to work on your writing skills. It’s too stiff. Look at my writing skills. How artistic, how touching, and I am so head over heels over myself. You’ve got a lot to learn.”
Third Young Master Ye had the feeling that his explanations went over Klose’s head. He was whistling in the wind.
“This is considered twisting the facts, leading to inaccurate reporting! Also, you have ruined my image!” The last point was the most important. Third Young Master Ye was almost shouting about why he was written into a hot-blooded cultural person. Ahhhhhhh…
“Actually, you had no good image to speak of previously. Look at how I have portrayed Third Young Master Ye in such a cute manner. Hehe. As for the reporting, what matters most is the effect generated thereafter. Comparing the original effect you intended with the effect created by what I had worked on, it’s safe to say that the latter is a hundred times more impactful than the former. Dude, take a lesson here. When it’s time to be campy, be campy. That’s a skill!” Klose said seriously. With this paper, the public opinion began to swing in Third Young Master Ye’s favor.
To achieve his goal, earn, get to see some drama, and troll Third Young Master Ye, it was killing four birds with one stone… What happiness!
“Let’s hope you do not end up in my hands. I promise you a terrible death!” Third Young Master Ye said through gritted teeth and hung up the phone angrily. Klose had a hearty laugh, for recent events were indeed very happening!
Summer was a season when passion burned unbridled.
“Daddy, the effect created is actually very good. I sympathize with you after reading it!” Ning Ning held the papers and walked in. “Klose is indeed extremely talented!” Ning Ning said, laughing.
“Ning Ning…” Third Young Master Ye dragged his name. Ning Ning threw the newspapers aside and laughed out loud.
Klose was the best person in the media industry. His ability to respond to people and his sensitivity to popular opinion was much more acute than anybody else. Anything that he worked on, however pedestrian, would undoubtedly rile up the crowd.
So, this report was a success!
Third Young Master Ye definitely knew it was a successful report, but he was indignant at the fact that he became a fair game for Klose to troll. How stifling!
Ning Ning sympathized with him.
There was now another version of his daddy and mommy’s love story. Sigh… One could not tell whether it had the slightest relation to the truth.
As he spoke, Cheng Anya limped out as she supported her leg. Third Young Master Ye quickly ran out to carry her down whilst Ning Ning ran into the kitchen and brought breakfast out. Father and son had a very good rapport.
“Mommy, did you have a good night’s sleep?” Ning Ning gave her a morning kiss and greeted her with a smile.
“Very good!” Her reply was punctuated by a yawn. Both father and son rolled their eyes at each other.
Cheng Anya looked at Third Young Master Ye and recalled the post she saw last night. She was in a good mood whilst Third Young Master Ye was mulling over his image. Cheng Anya conveniently took the newspaper next to her.
Ning Ning, who was bringing the milk out, let out a gasp. Third Young Master Ye raised his eyebrows and his expression changed. “Who is so talented to whip up such a campy story?” Miss Cheng slowly said as she raised her eyebrows.
