Chapter 137: Chapter 114: Shocking! The story of Zeng Xingyang and a famous actress! _2
There’s a high chance this is just small talk, but he didn’t expose it.
Asking a girl about NBA knowledge is like asking a guy about lipstick shades.
"Hello, since Ms. Qing specifically mentioned you, you must be a friend. How old are you?" Zeng Xingyang politely asked.
"Born in ’94, 21 years old."
"You’re two years older than me, so I’ll call you Ms. Xue."
"Okay, Xingyang, can I write some news about you off the court in the future? Like rumors and stuff."
"Of course, it’s your freedom, as long as it’s truthful."
Zeng Xingyang has always been open and honest, not afraid of being written about.
Zeng Xingyang has a lot of charm and quickly made the situation less awkward.
Before long, Zeng Xingyang learned that Song Xue is still studying at the Communication University of China, graduating next year. She’s now a newly hired anchor at Penguin NBA, staying for a while before returning to China to make appearances.
She looks a lot like a Tencent NBA female anchor named Xue’Er whom Zeng Xingyang knew in his past life, but they’re not the same person.
Zeng Xingyang is not familiar with how Penguin NBA trains their anchors and isn’t interested in finding out. It suffices as long as work contact is maintained.
After chatting for a few minutes, Zeng Xingyang headed to the underground parking lot and started driving home.
...
Watching Zeng Xingyang leave.
Song Xue patted her chest and said softly, "Ms. Qing, Xingyang is somewhat different from what the media reports."
Some of Zeng Xingyang’s statements are often exaggerated in the media, making him seem domineering.
Before meeting him, Song Xue thought Zeng Xingyang would put on a big show.
"How is he different?"
"I thought he would be very pretentious when he spoke, but unexpectedly, he’s quite down-to-earth."
Lu Qing thought for a moment and understood: "His personality is usually displayed to local American reporters. He’s quite friendly towards us domestic media people."
The Zeng Xingyang in the news and in real life are two different styles.
Song Xue said, "Yes, he seems to have a sunny personality."
Lu Qing laughed, "Xingyang is indeed unlike many NBA players. He doesn’t go clubbing or mess around. You’ll know his uniqueness after staying here longer."
"Let me tell you a secret, he’s still single."
"No way, such a handsome, famous, and wealthy guy, how can he be single?"
Song Xue felt it was like a fairy tale.
"He has high standards. Many girls want his contact information, but he rarely gives it out."
"Could he be gay?" Song Xue thought immediately; otherwise, it doesn’t make sense.
"Haha, not likely. He often likes beautiful women’s posts on Weibo. You can try asking him out; you’re so pretty, there’s a chance."
Song Xue shook her head, "He’s a big star, probably doesn’t find me appealing."
Song Xue could sense that Zeng Xingyang was merely being polite and courteous in their conversation.
Although Zeng Xingyang hides it well, she knows he regards her as a vase.
If it weren’t for the introduction by someone familiar, he probably wouldn’t have given her a second glance.
Song Xue is aware of her limitations. Despite her looks, which regular people find impressive, she does not have much allure in front of Zeng Xingyang.
Lu Qing shook her head, "Hard to say. No one knows what type he likes. This guy has no scandals at all."
Song Xue speculated, "Maybe he likes the Kardashian type."
Lu Qing burst into laughter, "Haha, that’s possible. I just saw him chatting with Harden for quite a while."
"Will he mind if I write some gossip about him tonight? I think it’ll draw some views."
"He won’t mind as long as it’s not made up. He’s pretty generous."
"Maybe I’ll write a piece about him admiring female celebrities? Didn’t he often like female celebrities’ posts on Weibo recently?"
"Try writing it up. Anyway, if there’s any trouble, I’ll cover for you, haha."
"Then I’ll design a few questions to WeChat interview him later."
"Good, fans will surely love it."
The two women were pondering how to stir up some gossip.
.....
The next morning, after getting up, Zeng Xingyang, as usual, was scrolling through domestic news on his phone.
He found out that in the NBA section, even though there was headline coverage of a buzzer-beater news, clearly, fans were more enthusiastic about another report about him.
The headline of the other news was prominently:
"Shocking, the inevitable story between NBA supernova Zeng Xingyang and Immortal Sister."
WTF.
What story?
How come I don’t know?
Zeng Xingyang expressed his curiosity too.
Couldn’t help but click in to read the report.
After reading, he was speechless.
Pure clickbait.
Damn it, they tricked me for clicks.
The content mainly described how he watched dramas like Chinese Paladin, The Return of the Condor Heroes, and Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils when he was little, and how he admired the female lead Liu Yifei.
Then, it cited some of his liking behavior on Weibo as evidence.
If it were just this simple report, naturally, it wouldn’t attract much attention.
The main thing is, Liu Yifei retweeted it on Weibo and commented, "Xingyang, sis also loves watching you play basketball. I’ll come see you live when I can."
Such a response seemed to carry some ambiguous undertones.
The post went viral instantly.
Looking at the byline of the report, Ms. Barbecue and Song Xue.
Zeng Xingyang thought of those interview questions on WeChat last night.
"Xingyang, did you like watching Chinese Paladin when you were a child?"
"Yes, I did."
"Did you like the female lead Liu Yifei?"
"Of course, I used to like her a lot."
...
Although snagged a wave of clicks, Zeng Xingyang didn’t mind too much.
Public figures aren’t afraid of being talked about; they’re afraid of not being talked about at all.
The report content wasn’t malicious, just traffic-generating.
Moreover, Liu Yifei actually replied to him, so he gained something.
Zeng Xingyang also started getting a bit giddy.
He also retweeted the report, adding a "grinning" and a heart emoji.
