Transmigrating as the Younger Sister of a Bigshot with Multiple Identities

Chapter 1028: Binding and Marketing Gu Pei

Editor: Henyee Translations

Not long after, Gu Pei heard that Xu Niannian had signed a contract with Tiansheng Media.

Tiansheng Media was the company that Yan Xi had previously been with. Following a series of scandals and a major shake-up in its upper echelons, Tiansheng Media lost much of its former glory. Many resources and markets were now controlled by Zhaofeng Entertainment and Ruihua Media, with Tiansheng Media falling behind in comparison, unable to compete with even some celebrity studios.

In the recent battle, Zhaofeng Entertainment had surpassed Tiansheng Media to become a major player alongside Ruihua, even seeming to overshadow Ruihua Media.

Gu Pei observed Xu Niannian’s failure to sign with Zhaofeng Entertainment and her subsequent move to Tiansheng Media with little concern, thinking nothing more of it.

However, it wasn’t long before he understood the implications of Xu Niannian’s warning not to regret his decision.

#Young Master Gu’s ex-girlfriend#

#Zhaofeng Entertainment’s Young Master Ex-Girlfriend#

#Gu Yang’s younger brother’s ex-girlfriend#

#Gu Pei abandoned her after fooling around#

When Qin Xian sent Gu Pei a screenshot of these trending topics, Gu Pei was stunned.

It was clear that Xu Niannian and Tiansheng Media were leveraging marketing to target him. Whether Tiansheng Media was seeking revenge on Zhaofeng Entertainment or Xu Niannian was taking aim at Gu Pei, or perhaps both, it was apparent that Gu Pei was being portrayed as a profligate young master who had abandoned her.

Gu Pei was speechless.

He was frivolous, he was a good-for-nothing, and he abandoned her after fooling around?

When he was in a relationship, he’d only ever held hands. After their breakup, he didn’t seek revenge on his ex. Yet now, he was being labeled a scumbag by netizens who didn’t know the full story.

Gu Pei was fuming with injustice.

At the Gu family’s old residence, the topic came up during dinner, and it sparked some frustration.

Ruan Xueling, who had grown closer to Tong Wan over the past year and had mellowed considerably, couldn’t help but vent her anger.

“This Xu Niannian is unbelievable! We’ve been broken up for a year, and she’s still causing trouble! How can someone be so shameless?”

After her outburst, Ruan Xueling turned to Gu Pei with a scolding look. “You were so young back then. How could you have been so blind?”

Gu Pei could only remain silent. He was questioning the same thing himself.

Gu Zhaoming muttered, “You should have signed her to Zhaofeng Entertainment back then and kept her out of the limelight. Let’s see what she could have done then.”

Gu Pei was left speechless, regretting not being more assertive. He realized he should have acted more like a villain in that situation.

Despite his disappointment for Gu Pei, Gu Zhaoming was determined not to let anyone tarnish his son’s reputation for their own gain.

Zhaofeng Entertainment’s public relations department quickly went into damage control. Meanwhile, Gu Pei’s past goodwill came into play.

During his time at Jin City No. 1 Middle School, Gu Pei was well-liked and had many friends. He was known for his loyalty and friendly nature, getting along well with classmates and even earning respect from local hooligans, who referred to him as Brother Pei.

When the online controversy erupted, many of these friends stepped up to defend Gu Pei without him needing to ask. They clarified the situation with comments like:

[I’m an alumnus of Jin City No. 1 Middle School and Gu Pei’s classmate. Xu Niannian did have a relationship with Gu Pei, but they broke up a year ago because she was two-timing.]

[Xu Niannian is Gu Pei’s ex-girlfriend, but Gu Pei is not her ex-boyfriend in the conventional sense. At most, he’s just an ex.]

[How is Brother Pei a jerk? I’ve never seen a more innocent rich heir. He has a strict upbringing and hasn’t even spent a night away from home.]
