Chapter 201 Airport Q&A
Reading Settings
Seeing the crowd gradually quieting down, Shi Shi continued, "Thank you all for your attention to this event. I know the media and fans are very interested in us, and I can answer some questions on my own behalf. In order to maintain public order, I will only be here for half an hour."
After saying that, she jumped off the counter and sat on the stool inside. There was a notebook in her handbag. She tore out the first few pages with writing on them and turned to a blank page.
"I had no choice but to take photos with everyone. I tried to give as many autographs as possible. Fans who have received autographs can leave now."
Shi Shi seemed to have a natural leadership ability, and with the assistance of airport security personnel, she quickly kept fans and media at a distance of one or two meters from the service counter.
Shi Shi's hands kept moving as she signed autographs and casually pointed to two media outlets, signaling them to come forward and ask questions.
Before the media could even speak, she said, "I can't satisfy everyone. Each media outlet can only ask two questions."
The reporter, who was about to ask a few more nonsensical questions, immediately swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
"Hi Shi Shi, did you and Oliver travel to Hokkaido together because you've started dating?"
Shishi was surprised, but her hand didn't stop signing. She wrote two more names before answering, "I have a boyfriend. I won't consider a foreign boyfriend."
Only now did Shi Shi realize how inappropriate her decision to travel to Beihai with Oliver had been. Since she'd made a mistake, she needed to find a way to make amends. Announcing their relationship publicly served two purposes: first, to give Fu Yingzhou an explanation. After all, the domestic media knew about it, and there was no reason Fu Xingzhou hadn't heard, and yet he hadn't questioned her. Whether it was out of trust or some other reason, Shi Shi had to clear her name completely. Leaving no hidden problems in the relationship was her principle.
He tore the signed autographs from the notebook, handed them to the bodyguard, who then distributed them to the fans in the front row and guided them away.
Shi Shi began, "You still have one question left."
The reporter was overjoyed, like it was New Year's Day. He hadn't expected that his very first question would uncover the big news that Shi Shi wasn't single! Unfortunately, there were too many people there! If it were an exclusive, his bonus for the month would definitely double!
"Do you have plans to remarry? Is your boyfriend in the entertainment industry?"
“You have two questions. I’m currently in a relationship with a boyfriend who isn’t in the entertainment industry. Because I’m now involved in entertainment-related businesses, I understand the media’s curiosity about me, since you’re asking on behalf of the public. But I hope to give my partner some privacy. He needs a normal life, and I don’t want his current life to be ruined just because he has an extraordinary girlfriend.”
Her answer was so gentle that the reporter was stunned. After answering the question, the bodyguard escorted the reporter away.
As she spoke, her hands didn't stop; she signed several more autographs for her fans. Shi Shi couldn't help but think to herself, "Luckily, her name has few strokes!"
The second reporter was clearly not as easily fooled as the first. He asked a more pointed question.
"You already have a boyfriend, yet you went to Hokkaido alone with someone of the opposite sex. Are you two-timing?"
That's a really malicious question. Shi Shi is a female boss now, so naturally she has to be more assertive.
"There are two kinds of people in this world: men and women. If you define a normal outing in broad daylight as so malicious, then I can only say that society forgot to bring you along when it progressed. In such a civilized society, how can there be such decadent thoughts? Quickly lock your mother and wife at home. The streets are full of men, it's too dangerous! Please leave!"
The male reporter was somewhat exasperated and was about to retort when he saw Shishi's fans glaring at him angrily, and his bodyguards standing tall and strong in front of him, which gave him a great sense of pressure. He had no choice but to slink away.
After making an example of her, the reporters behaved much better. At this point, a female reporter asked softly, "Shishi, hello, I'm a reporter and also a fan of yours. I'm curious, since you have such talent and such a beautiful singing voice, why don't you become a professional singer?"
Over time, fans and the media have noticed. Shishi occasionally releases songs. But that's all she's done.
Her songs became popular not only because fans discovered them themselves, but also because she is truly talented.
Because she's not in the entertainment industry, her songs are promoted entirely through word of mouth. Shi Shi paused her autographing, smiled at the female reporter, and said, "Actually, I love music and enjoy singing, but the rules and lifestyle of the entertainment industry aren't suitable for me. I'd rather use my talent to manage and promote the development of the entire industry, and discover more potential singers and musicians. Besides, I now have a career I love and a stable relationship, which are the most important things to me. I don't want to be bound by the various rules and regulations of the industry. Like today, I know about the curiosity from the outside world. Even though I don't like facing the media, I still have to sit here and reassure everyone. My fans have given me a lot, and releasing songs is a way for me to express myself. It's also a way of telling my fans that your support is worthwhile." After saying that, she quickly resumed signing autographs.
As time passed, half an hour quickly came. Shi Shi stood up and said to her fans and the media, "Thank you all for coming today. I will have the opportunity to interact with you again in the future."
Escorted by bodyguards, she was about to leave the service desk when she suddenly heard a loud wail. Looking towards the source of the sound, she saw several girls. Their delicate makeup was ruined by tears. They were wearing clothes with her name and logo printed on them.
Shishi knew these must be her die-hard fans, but seeing the still large crowd outside, she helplessly looked to her bodyguard and asked him to help her onto the marble countertop. She also asked for the megaphone she had just been handed to her.
She addressed the crowd loudly, "To the fans who didn't get an autograph: I'm going to sing a song for you now. Thank you for your support! But please promise me that after I finish singing, you will leave in an orderly manner, okay? Can everyone do that?"
able!
Yes! Yes!
The crowd shouted a lot of energy.
What song would you like to hear?
The little girls who had been crying earlier stopped howling.
The girls exchanged glances and shouted, "Sister, do you have a new song? We want to hear your new song!"
"Yes, consider it a treat for my fans today. Please be among the first listeners of my new song!"
"Listen up, everyone. This new song is written for my fans. I hope you all like it."
"Next song..."
