Overprotected By My Tsundere CEO-Chapter 675 - 419: Henry Chapman: I Admit Defeat [Part 2]
Logged into Henry Chapman’s and Nora Scott’s Weibo accounts separately, Nora repeatedly reposted the same promotional Weibo, and after completing the tasks, she logged out entirely.
She sent Henry a message, briefly explaining what she did with his Weibo account.
Once again, acting first and reporting later.
Nora felt like she was insanely played, while Henry felt no ripples inside.
[Henry Chapman]: Oh.
Nora gritted her teeth.
Later, Henry called her.
"Has the raw rice been cooked?" Henry hit the nerve with his choice of words, misusing idioms, which made Nora quite displeased.
"Hmm."
"My mom will be good to you," Henry pondered some comforting words, "she’s always wanted a daughter."
"I can see that, she even showed me pictures of you wearing women’s clothes when you were young." Nora smiled on the surface but not genuinely.
"..."
This is a bit of indulgence to the extreme.
Then, Henry changed his tone, "If you don’t like it, you can contact her less."
"I quite like your mom."
Henry agreed smoothly, "Then I’ll lend a hand."
Nora: "... You really have the nerve to say that."
Detecting a hint of Nora’s displeasure, Henry hesitated briefly, and comforted her, "This is a win-win situation. My mom got a daughter, you got a mother, and I can have some peace."
"Couldn’t you give a heads-up beforehand?"
"Would you follow my script and act accordingly?"
"No."
Nora cut the words decisively.
Henry silently expressed that he "expected it."
"Speaking of——"
Nora paused her speech.
"Hmm?"
"I know some great friends, both men and women. Are you interested in matchmaking?" Nora’s eyes slightly narrowed in clear amusement, her voice, however, was cold, "My godmother needs a deck of card photos, I can give her two decks."
Henry: "... I admit defeat."
Thus, Henry, who always acted openly and fearlessly, finally had a weakness held by Nora, bringing their relationship smoothly to "sibling-like camaraderie" — god siblings + leverage in their relationship.
Nora was just frustrated about being played unexpectedly. She wasn’t opposed to the situation itself, so after gaining the upper hand during the call, the anger dissipated mostly once the call ended.
As for the two Weibos before the call, they were completely pushed to the back of her mind.
*
Just as the online debates about Henry and Nora quieted down, the moment these two Weibos appeared, the hype surged unstoppably to the peak. Even the topic [Skill·Memory], without any commercial manipulation, emerged prominently among numerous discussions about "Twelve".
All of a sudden, "Skill·Memory"’s Weibo followers skyrocketed by tens of thousands, and the subsequent publicly released trailer of "Skill·Memory" quickly surpassed a million views, causing a major stir.
The trailer featured Nora and Henry.
Both appeared in ancient costumes, a stunning pair, ignoring their acting skills, even just their looks were worth crazy resharing.
Later, some marketing accounts dug up the blooper from "City Secret’s" episode at the puppet show, where that segment featuring Nora had already sparked discussions about the unyielding guy who didn’t give way to Isabella Hart. And now there was an answer——
[OMG, the guy turned out to be Henry Chapman!!!!]
Netizens went wild.
The next hot search topic, [Henry Chapman’s Casual Clothes], rose swiftly, leaving a group of people both laughing and crying.
[Someone always said that guy’s voice sounds like Henry Chapman, and thought they were just riding on his fame, never expected it to be the real deal?!]
[Whoa! No wonder the media couldn’t dig up anything about the guy’s private life, he’s been keeping it under wraps this tight? Sympathy.]
[?? Is our guy’s casual wear like this? It’s too tough! He doesn’t need to do this; in the future, just walk openly in the street like we don’t know you!]
[xswl, I bet even the "City Secret" crew didn’t know who the guy was, and treated him directly as a passerby. Hahaha. Best passerby, Actor Chapman.]
[I wonder why the guy won’t even show his face, turns out it’s to avoid being recognized.]
[Seeing this, Henry and Nora really have a good relationship! Ahhh, suddenly I find them adorable too; those couple of bickering lines at the door were too cute! Envy this pair of siblings; interactions off-screen are surely super fun!]
[Hahaha, what a coincidence. "City Secret" crew: Huge loss.]
[Did anyone notice that on Nora and Henry’s Weibo... the Weibo source is the same phone model. The posting time is so close... did he hack her account, or did she hack his account? Speaking of last time supporting Mr. Langley, the phone model and content were consistent. How close are these two?]
[Nobody’s paying attention to our Miss Collins? This person’s been chilling at home for so long, and she actually knows to come out and operate! @Katherine Collins Aren’t you coming to post a Weibo too for promotion?]
[Are laid-back celebrities all in cahoots? Katherine’s fans say our idol has disappeared for so long; I almost forgot I even stan this person.]
...
The goofy netizens laughed "hahahaha" online, entertaining themselves with the sibling-like bond between Nora and Henry while drawing attention to "Skill·Memory", the heat index rose.
But——
The haters are everywhere.
The initial news of Nora starring in "Twelve" already drew much controversy, with endless doubts about her acting skills, and now starring in "Skill·Memory", haters didn’t bother with words before starting a wave of group ridicule.
[Nora knew her acting is so bad that she’s trying to latch onto Henry Chapman?]
[Poor Henry Chapman. With such a low-budget documentary production, isn’t he participating perhaps just to give Nora face? Since debut, which of his film and TV works aren’t high-cost major productions? Searched this documentary, it reeks of poverty, the whole crew just exudes a poor vibe.]
[Just a word of advice, Nora, acting in such low-budget documentaries is fine, but don’t ruin "Twelve," please?]
[Originally had a good impression of Katherine Collins and Henry, but seeing them being associated with Nora... self-degradation, turned from fan to hater.]
[Katherine got bewitched? Her own directed work quality is so good, as a new director, having this reputation is quite remarkable. Now involving Nora, is she planning to shoot herself in the foot, ruining her future?]
[Really, used to think Katherine Collins and Henry were high-status, but now lowering their status by collaborating with Nora, there’s always that feeling that they’ve reached the end of their rope.]
[What a trash documentary, not watching.]
[If Nora’s in it, not watching.]
...
