Aifeng Group.

Gates, who was about to head to the television station, immediately told his new secretary after receiving a call from Thomson, “Prepare a car. I’m going to the city center.”

“Chairman… Chairman, there’s an international youth conference that you need to attend. If you leave now, this conference will definitely be postponed,” the secretary reminded him in a low voice.

As the world’s leading internet tycoon, Gates had a lot of things to do every day.

He was busy twenty-four-seven.

So when the secretary heard that her Chairman had changed his schedule and wanted to go to the city center instead, the secretary naturally had to remind him.

“Cancel everything on my itinerary, and arrange a car for me immediately.” To Gates, a mere conference was nothing.

Thomson’s matter was the most important.

Having heard his stern voice, the secretary did not dare waste any more time and immediately arranged a car.

Although she had just taken up the position of his assistant, she had been working as a secretary at Aifeng for a while now. Hence, she knew very well how her predecessor lost his job. As such, she followed her boss’s instructions without saying another word.

In less than five minutes, a Rolls-Royce pulled up at the entrance of the building.

Gates quickly went in and told the driver the location. With that, the driver immediately headed to the city center.

The moment he set off, a small entertainment company received a phone call.

The call was from the director of the program team.

“Okay, don’t worry. It’s no problem. It’s just a small matter.”

“We’ll be there in about ten minutes.”

The boss of the entertainment company listened to the phone call very carefully. It was as if a mouse had heard a cat’s call.

After another five minutes of conversation, the boss hung up the phone and immediately called his secretary over.

Once the secretary was there, he said, “Is that artist, Little Gates, here now?”

“Yes, boss. What’s the matter?” The secretary did not know why her boss was asking this question, but he still answered straightaway.

“Okay, tell him to go to the city center now and buy a box of crispy candy from a hundred-year-old shop. After that, send him to the city’s television station. Someone is waiting there!”

“Okay, okay!”The secretary quickly nodded and began to instruct someone to the task.

Soon, under the lead of the company’s team, an artist who looked like Gates sat in a million-dollar Mercedes-Benz and headed to the city center.

It turned out that after the director realized that Thomson was bragging, the first thing he thought of was to find a fake Gates.

In this day and age, there were countless impersonators.

It was especially true for those artists who imitated celebrities; there were even more of them.

Although these celebrity impersonators were not as popular as the real celebrities, in some underdeveloped states, they were far more effective than hiring some internet celebrities.

A performance would attract a huge crowd of people, and they would earn a lot from it.

Under this situation, entertainment companies that specialized in finding celebrity impersonators were born.

As Gates became more and more famous, his popularity grew. Some people who looked like Gates were picked up by these entertainment companies. After an evaluation, the company would offer them contracts with an extremely low price and made good use of them.

They were the same as the blogger who was analyzing Thomson. These people existed to amuse the public, but they would never receive any respect in return because, in everyone’s eyes, these people only exist to make fun of other people.

However, these celebrity impersonators did not care at all.

Others laughed at them for being clowns, but they laughed at those people for not being able to afford to buy a house.

Although their salary was low, it was much higher compared to a monthly salary of four to five thousand dollars. They earned at least thirty to fifty thousand a month.

Some who looked more alike to the celebrities even had a monthly salary of fifty thousand to one hundred thousand dollars.

In this case, so what if they were laughed at? There was not much to gossip about either.

The fake Gates’s company was located near the city center. So after about fifteen minutes, they arrived at the century-old candy shop.

When they arrived, a few photographers sneaked out and pointed their cameras at the fake Gates who got down from the Mercedes-Benz.

This Gates was also very arrogant.

Seven or eight burly men in black opened a path for him. Just like the real Gates, he had a calm smile on his face, and as he looked at the people around him, he waved his hand from time to time.

Some people who did not know better, thinking that it was the real Gates, took out their phones and snapped a few pictures.

Even those who were queuing in front of them immediately made way for this fake Gates to go first.

However, some people soon realized that something was off. Although the person looked like Gates, it was clear that he was not Gates.

Some people began to laugh.

“Pft, I really thought it was Gates. I even wanted him to give me an autograph. But alas, he’s just a fake.”

“I’m speechless. To think that I even made way for him. I thought I met a big shot.”

“That’s it. I’m dead. Just now, I was so excited that I went to my classmates’ group chat and told them that I met Gates. I even shook hands with him. Now, I really want to dig a hole and bury myself.”

“I’m not afraid of celebrity impersonators these days, but I’m afraid of fake bosses.”

“Hahaha, this is hilarious. I really thought he was Gates!”

While everyone was discussing, a few photographers had already recorded the whole scenario and transmitted it to the live show.

Not long after, the scene of the century-old candy shop was suddenly on the screen, which was originally displaying the countdown.

In it, countless people were gathering around and taking pictures with their phones.

Then, Gates’s side profile appeared in the camera.

The audience was shocked to see this scene!
