Chapter 471: After the change: Chapter 481 Ouyang Hao’s rumored girlfriends
"A celebrity entering politics? He won’t be like Schwarzenegger, right?" He acts well, but he’s not cut out to be an official.
"At that time, most people thought the same as you do now. In people’s eyes, Ouyang Hao quitting the music scene to enter politics seemed like child’s play, something that wouldn’t last more than half a year before he would roll back into the entertainment industry. But who would have thought, once he started, he made a splash in the political arena within just four years, and quickly rose to the level of a principal officer. You have to admit, this guy’s got some skills. Of course, he didn’t do it alone—his father’s and brother’s help was crucial. After all, his father’s rank and political resources are beyond what ordinary people can match."
Shi Yi listened to this and finally seemed to catch some clues. She squinted her eyes and asked, "He’s working in the new district government now?"
"Bingo!" Shen Xu snapped his fingers, "You finally get it. He’s now in the new district government, and he is quite influential. If you can get him on your side, then that piece of land won’t be a problem."
"People like him must be tough to deal with, right?" Shi Yi glanced at the photo in her hand. Ouyang Hao came from a distinguished family and was a former superstar. He didn’t need family connections or money, making him the hardest type of person to handle.
"Everyone has a weakness. As far as I know, Ouyang Hao, despite his flamboyant and unrestrained personality, is a hopeless romantic. Five years ago, he almost fell out with his family over a woman, and later he even..."
"I’m not interested in this gossip." Shi Yi interrupted him.
"Don’t rush, I haven’t finished yet." Shen Xu paused and then said, "Do you know who the woman he was madly in love with is?"
"Does it have anything to do with me?"
"You’re really no fun." Shen Xu rolled his eyes at her and said mysteriously, "The person he was madly in love with is the ex-wife of the Leng Group’s president—Lin Yixun."
Lin Yixun...
Hearing this name, Shi Yi’s chest suddenly felt a sharp pain, but the feeling disappeared in an instant. Thus, Shi Yi did not take it to heart.
"And then?" For some reason, Shi Yi was unusually interested in the ex-wife of the Leng Group’s president.
"It’s said that at that time, Ouyang Hao had an intense relationship with Lin Yixun despite his family’s opposition, but later, the president of Leng Group intervened, and the intense love affair was abruptly cut off. After that, due to the love triangle, Lin Yixun was pushed off Seaside by the president’s ex-fiancée, and her body has never been found since."
Seeing Shi Yi frowning with a distant gaze, Shen Xu nudged her, "Hey, are you listening?"
Shi Yi suddenly snapped back to reality, her long fingers idly tapping on the side of the desk, "From what you said, Ouyang Hao and the Leng Group’s president must not get along well, right?"
"Of course. In the past four years, Ouyang Hao has often given Leng’s a hard time. Although the official reasons sounded legitimate, anyone with a brain could see the truth. Take, for example, the shopping center Leng Group planned to build in the new district last year. Everything was set, and just before the contract was signed, the project was suddenly killed before it could start."
"From what you’re saying, it seems we might have a chance to compete with Leng Group." Shi Yi smiled.
"Don’t get too excited. Our company’s scale is small, and the piece of land we want is also small. Even if Leng Group doesn’t get it, it won’t negatively impact them much. Therefore, Ouyang Hao might not interfere with Leng Group joining the bidding this time; it doesn’t hold much significance for him."
"Might not interfere, doesn’t mean he definitely won’t. Effort counts; I will find a way."
Shen Xu gave her a deep look and suddenly joked, "Miss Shi, you aren’t thinking of using a honey trap, are you? If you do, it might actually work."
He had to admit, Shi Yi’s face met every man’s aesthetic standards for beauty: enchanting but not at all vulgar, with a smile that could make any man fall for her. If he hadn’t worked with her for years and developed some immunity, he might have fallen for her too.
Hearing this, Shi Yi glared at him fiercely, "Get lost! I’m going to rely on my real skills!"
"Haha... Looks are part of the skill set, aren’t they?"
"I don’t have time for you." Shi Yi rolled her eyes at him, glanced at her watch, still past six, and decided to go out for some food. She asked Shen Xu, "Want to go out and grab something to eat with me?"
"I have a date tonight."
"Siding with beauty over friends!"
"Going out with you would be considered siding with beauty over friends, wouldn’t it?" Shen Xu smiled, then suddenly seemed to remember something and said seriously, "I do have another piece of information about Ouyang Hao. I’m not sure if it’s useful."
"What information?" Regardless of its usefulness, Shi Yi wanted to know.
"According to reliable sources, Ouyang Hao will attend an auction this Sunday. If you have time, you can go there and test the waters."
"Okay, got it, thank you."
Shen Xu was capable of handling things efficiently. Although he went on his date, he didn’t forget to have his secretary deliver an auction invitation to Shi Yi.
Shi Yi looked down at the address and time on the invitation, Saturday night at eight o’clock, Xiangning Exhibition Center. Today was already Friday; she didn’t have much time left.
That night, Shi Yi still couldn’t fall asleep. After tossing and turning for a long time, she finally jumped out of bed and turned on her computer. Since Ouyang Hao was the key to this bid, she might as well use the time to investigate this man.
Fortunately, due to Ouyang Hao’s unique background and most of his life spent in the spotlight, information about him wasn’t hard to find. As soon as she typed his name into the search bar, a flood of related entries appeared.
The entries included achievements and gossip evenly. Even after quitting the music scene and entering politics, gossip news about him continued. He still occasionally appeared on the front page with some socialite or actress. Most of these women had one thing in common: oval faces, black hair, and big eyes.
Shi Yi rested her chin on one hand, pondering. All these women looked so similar, almost like they were mass-produced in a factory. Didn’t Ouyang Hao ever get tired of this aesthetic?
