Chapter 210 Shen Mei Colludes with Paparazzi to Expose the Truth
Every time Shen Mei heard someone say that Ye Ningshuang was lucky because Shen Wancheng was backing her up, her resentment grew a little more.
Shen Wancheng used to belittle the entertainment industry and didn't support her entering it, but now she fully supports Ye Ningshuang. If Shen Wancheng had agreed to support her back then, would she have broken ties with Shen Wancheng?
Since Shen Wancheng dislikes the entertainment industry so much, why is she supporting Ye Ningshuang now? Is it just to embarrass her and see her make a fool of herself?
Shen Mei found it truly amusing. Shen Wancheng was now so high and mighty. As Huo Guangda had taught her, they were fundamentally different from the top wealthy families, as they came into contact with different social circles.
Since they're from different social circles, why would Shen Wancheng go to such lengths to support Ye Ningshuang just to annoy her?
That's incredibly petty.
Qiao Qing kept nagging in Shen Mei's ear, but Shen Mei was in no mood to comfort her anymore.
Shen Mei glanced at the time; there were still forty or fifty minutes until the match. She then told Qiao Qing that she was going out for a bit.
Shen Mei wanted to go to the audience seats in front of the stage; she had a feeling that Shen Wancheng would come to watch the game today.
Shen Mei had just left the backstage contestants' rest area when she bumped into someone.
The man's name was Wang Qiang. When he saw Shen Mei, he paused for a moment, and then immediately threw the bag he was carrying behind him.
Pretending not to know Shen Mei, he said, "I'm sorry."
Shen Mei was in a hurry to get to the front of the stage. She glanced at the furtive Wang Qiang and then prepared to leave.
But just as she took a step, a sudden inspiration struck her.
Shen Mei turned around and called out to Wang Qiang, "Stop right there."
Wang Qiang's earlier panic at suddenly bumping into Shen Mei had vanished, and he stood calmly.
"What's up?"
Shen Mei looked Wang Qiang up and down, then stared at the bag he had tossed behind him and asked, "Are you a reporter?"
Wang Qiang said coldly, "I suggest you mind your own business."
Shen Mei guessed correctly; he was a reporter who had infiltrated the backcourt of the game, hoping to secretly take some exclusive news.
This kind of thing is common in the entertainment industry, but if it gets discovered, the person will be blacklisted by the TV station, and their journalist career will be over.
So I was instinctively flustered when I bumped into Shen Mei.
However, he had already figured it out. He might be a small fry, but he could easily manipulate a complete newcomer like Shen Mei in the entertainment industry.
So now he has gone from panic to threat.
Shen Mei stared at him for a long time without saying a word.
Wang Qiang said impatiently, "Just say what you have to say. I have other things to do. I'm telling you, watch your mouth. If something happens to me, you won't be any better off."
Ignoring Wang Qiang's threats, Shen Mei instead asked, "Do you want an exclusive?"
Upon hearing Shen Mei's words, Wang Qiang began to scrutinize her from head to toe.
He had carefully memorized the personal information of all 20 finalists today, and he knew that the woman in front of him was named Shen Mei.
And they knew that Shen Mei was one of the more outstanding contestants and had some popularity.
However, there is only one point: even if an interview with Shen Mei is exclusive, it is not very useful, and the editor-in-chief may even think it is a waste of space.
What he wanted was sensational gossip.
For example, backstage feuds between contestants, or the exposure of contestants' sponsors.
Therefore, Wang Qiang did not take Shen Mei's words seriously.
"Of course I want an exclusive, but I'm not interested in yours."
Shen Mei said coldly, "Shen Wancheng's exclusive."
Wang Qiang went through the list of contestants but couldn't find the name.
"Who is this? Very famous..." Wang Qiang paused, only then realizing why the name sounded so familiar.
"Miss Shen, the He family's daughter who married Gu Sheng?"
Wang Qiang described how Shen Mei was very unhappy with Shen Wancheng's series of prefixes.
It was as if it was reminding her how noble Shen Wancheng's current status was, and that Wang Qiang didn't believe she could climb up to Shen Wancheng.
Shen Mei nodded coldly, "It's her exclusive, do you want it?"
Yes, of course I want it.
Wang Qiang answered decisively.
At the same time, he stared intently at Shen Mei's face.
Shen Mei brought up Shen Wancheng, since they both shared the surname Shen.
Moreover, as far as he knew, both of them were women from mainland China, so there was indeed a possibility that they had some kind of relationship.
Wang Qiang stared at Shen Mei's face for a long time.
To be honest, Shen Mei and Shen Wancheng are not usually associated, but when compared side by side, their faces do have some similarities.
Shen Mei let Wang Qiang look her over without saying a word.
Until Wang Qiang asked her.
"What is your relationship with Miss Shen?"
Shen Mei retorted ambiguously, "We both have the surname Shen, is there even a need to ask?"
Wang Qiang stroked his chin and said, "Interesting. What exclusive rights do you want to sell me? What are the conditions?"
"I don't want any other conditions, I just want you to publish my conversation with Shen Wancheng."
Wang Qiang was a seasoned paparazzi; he knew exactly what Shen Mei was thinking as soon as he heard her words.
They probably want to use Miss Shen to increase their own fame.
He didn't care what Shen Mei's purpose was.
Since Shen Mei doesn't openly admit to having a relationship with Miss Shen, there must be a story behind it.
That's perfect for him, the paparazzi.
The discussion about Shen Wancheng hasn't died down yet. If he can reveal information about Shen Wancheng before the family reunion, their magazine will definitely sell a lot of copies, which will benefit him greatly.
Wang Qiang readily agreed, "Okay, when should we film?"
Shen Mei had only come up with this idea on a whim, but now that Wang Qiang had agreed, she felt a little nervous.
"I'll go see if Shen Wancheng came today. If she does, I can call her out. You just need to follow behind me and hide to take pictures."
Wang Qiang's eyes lit up again.
He originally thought Shen Mei had arranged to take the photos secretly, but it turned out to be today.
This is fantastic.
It's possible that Shen Mei, one of Shen Wancheng's sisters, participated in the competition alone, while Shen Wancheng was supporting Shen Mei's opponent, Ye Ningshuang.
Just thinking about it was enough to make Wang Qiang's imagination run wild.
Moreover, reporting on this during the Miss Hong Kong pageant finals will generate buzz regardless of whether Shen Mei ultimately wins a prize.
If this were several days after the finals, and Shen Mei hadn't placed, the news wouldn't generate much buzz.
Wang Qiang said, "Taking photos secretly today would be ideal."
"I'll go see if Shen Wancheng has arrived yet." After saying that, Shen Mei reminded Wang Qiang, "Don't stick too close to me."
Wang Qiang laughed and said, "Don't worry, I'm a professional at taking candid photos."
As Wang Qiang spoke, he handed Shen Mei a Walkman with a recording function.
"Take this, open it now, and put it in your pocket."
Shen Mei put on a jacket when she left the players' rest area; it happened to have a pocket where she could put her Walkman.
Shen Mei took it, opened it, put it in her pocket, and headed to the studio.
Wang Qiang stopped following Shen Mei closely and instead waited casually in a place where he could see her.
A short while later, he saw Shen Mei and several other women come out one after the other.
Upon closer inspection, Wang Qiang realized that one of them was none other than Shen Wancheng.
