Chapter 43 A Good Show
"Oh!" Choi Dong-gun raised his eyebrows in surprise, then turned around with a smile and said to Yang Mo in an ambiguous smile: "It seems that you are quite popular in their hearts?!"
"Haha." Yang Mo laughed awkwardly and said, "We are all friends."
Yang Mo felt embarrassed, and those girls were even more ashamed. They were also worried that the chairman would ban them because of this. SM company has very strict management over artists' love affairs. After all, they are a girl group, and any scandals would really damage their popularity.
In order not to embarrass the girls, Yang Mo took the initiative to say, "Let's go with Jessica. There were some photos of me and her being more intimate on the news, so it looks more reasonable."
"Okay, no problem." Choi Dong-gun agreed immediately, then stood up and said to Jessica: "From now on, you are a couple. Now, we must do some preparations. Come... I'll take you to take some couple photos."
Cui Dongjian is a man with strong execution ability. He quickly called a photographer to take several sets of couple photos for Yang Mo and Jessica, including beach style, home style, and a set of bed photos.
In order to show that the two were really close, they bit each other's apples and kissed each other mouth to mouth. Yang Mo was not uncomfortable with this. What surprised him was that Jessica was even less uncomfortable and cooperated very well. However, Yoona complained a little when the two took the kissing photos. From her expression and tone, everyone present could feel that she was jealous, but no one pointed it out. No one could interfere in such a love affair.
After taking a few sets of photos, SM Entertainment quickly sent someone to upload them online. At the same time, many "insiders" broke the news, saying that Yang Mo and Jessica from Girls' Generation had been in love for three years and had been together since they were very young.
Driven by these voices, public opinion began to shift little by little. In other words, SM's means of manipulating public opinion are really clever. And Girls' Generation also quickly gained a certain degree of fame around the world with a series of promotional actions.
This little change made Girls' Generation's manager Lee Jin-joo very happy. She was so angry that she almost collapsed, but now she held Yang Mo's hand and thanked her, and repeatedly apologized for her previous rashness. Yang Mo didn't take it to heart. It's normal for women approaching menopause to have unstable emotions, and there's no need to be serious about such a physiological issue.
During the process of planning this whitewashing operation, Kim Tae-hee called, not to blame anyone, but to apologize. She felt that she was the one who implicated Yang Mo in this matter, and if she hadn't asked Yang Mo to take care of these sisters, there wouldn't have been so much trouble.
Yang Mo was very touched by Kim Tae Hee's kindness, and quickly comforted her and told her that things were moving in a good direction. Kim Tae Hee felt less guilty after hearing this news, and finally hung up the phone reluctantly.
Lu Xueman also called and said that the country is paying a lot of attention to this matter. Since China is close to South Korea, everyone soon knew that the heroines were from Girls' Generation, and many different opinions appeared on the Internet. Because of this incident, many domestic sponsors who had almost reached an agreement chose to wait and see. Yang Mo directly told her that she didn't need to sign any sponsorship contracts now. Once she had established her worth, people would naturally come to her with checks.
Finally, Lu Xueman asked Yang Mo very seriously about the truth of the matter.
Yang Mo patiently explained to her that Girls' Generation was just his friends and there was no relationship between them. But now, in order to resolve this matter, he has cooperated with the other party's agency to conduct crisis public relations.
Lu Xueman asked in detail about how to cooperate, and Yang Mo told her to pretend to be a couple with Jessica.
After a little hesitation, Lu Xueman agreed. She was a smart person, and although she didn't want Yang Mo and Jessica to be in a relationship, she knew that this was the only way to resolve the crisis, so in the end, reason prevailed over emotion, and she accepted this arrangement.
After all the internal factors were settled, on the third day, SM and the Miami Heat held a grand press conference at the American Airlines Center. On that day, there were more than 300 to 400 reporters in attendance, more than when the US president delivered his inaugural address. Moreover, the reporters were from multiple countries, including China, South Korea, the United States, Japan, and some European countries.
After all, this matter has become the focus of attention of the whole world in the past two days. Of course, this has a lot to do with the SM company's behind-the-scenes instigation. They also want to take this opportunity to hype it up and make Girls' Generation popular.
Yang Mo and Jessica walked into the venue hand in hand, holding hands, and immediately, bursts of spotlights flashed, killing countless films in seconds.
After the two sat down, they looked at each other affectionately. Then Yang Mo took the initiative to speak: "Dear journalists, thank you for attending this clarification meeting. I think everyone has seen some negative news about us from the overwhelming reports in the past two days."
"This incident has caused great distress to Jessica and me, and it has disrupted the peace and happiness in our lives. We are a couple in love and have been together for three years. I don't know who took the photos and who maliciously described a non-existent story. I reserve the right to sue these two people or one person. After the press conference, I will go to court to initiate a formal lawsuit."
After Yang Mo finished speaking, she leaned back. Jessica moved forward in tacit understanding and said into the microphone, "The truth about what happened that day is that Yang Mo and I invited my group members to our house for a party. We had a great time that day, and my boyfriend is a very hospitable person, so we let them stay. But we never thought that such a wonderful thing would be maliciously arranged like that. I am very angry, and the mastermind behind this must apologize to us."
Jessica became more and more indignant as she spoke, making it sound like a swearing-in ceremony.
After the two of them finished their brief narration, they entered the question-and-answer session. Since they had prepared the words beforehand, everything went flawlessly.
At the end of the press conference, what Yang Mo didn't expect was that Jessica suddenly came up and kissed Yang Mo on the lips. Before Yang Mo could react, Jessica's deft and slippery tongue slipped in and stirred for a while. Yang Mo quickly cooperated.
The two kissed deeply for more than two minutes, and the lights on the scene flashed again.
If there were some doubts about their relationship before, they have now been completely dispelled.
After the press conference, many media outlets reported on the event. SM Entertainment even bought advertisements in all the influential media outlets, with Yang Mo and Jessica as the main attraction, and the accompanying picture was a picture of the two of them kissing deeply at the press conference, plus four Chinese characters: Love in a Fallen City.
After the press conference, Yang Mo returned to the backstage. Before she had the chance to ask Jessica why they suddenly kissed wetly, a burly black man came over and high-fived her.
Yang Mo took a closer look before recognizing the man. He was a little surprised and quickly reached out to high-five him, then chest-bumped him.
"Hey, man, good job! You're more popular than me in Miami now."
"Unfortunately, my basketball skills are not what I rely on." Yang Mo smiled awkwardly at Dwyane Wade. Since he signed with the Heat, he had imagined countless times the scene of fighting side by side with Dwyane Wade, but he had never thought about the scene of the two meeting for the first time. Now that the two met in such a noisy environment, Yang Mo was somewhat embarrassed.
"Do a good job. I heard from Riley that you are a very good player." Dwyane Wade encouraged Yang Mo, and then leaned close to Yang Mo's ear and whispered, "Next time if there is a party like that, remember to invite me."
"Huh?" Yang Mo was stunned when he heard this, thinking, could it be that you came to meet me just for that kind of party? I'm really not that kind of promiscuous person! Suddenly, Yang Mo felt a sense of injustice that he couldn't get rid of even if he jumped into the Yellow River. The team boss thought so, wouldn't the other teammates use this to tease him in the future?
