Chapter 117 A Hole

The movements of these few people soon attracted the attention of other crew members.

"What are you all talking about? Why are you all gathered together?"

"What? You can buy talismans? You mean those magical peace talismans that were talked about online before? How much do they cost?"

"What? Only 100,000? I want to buy it! I want to buy it!"

"What? There are also love charms and luck charms! I want these too! My mom's been pressuring me to go on blind dates lately, I really need love charms and stuff like that, don't even try to take them from me!"

Ye Wanxi never imagined that one day she would be surrounded by people just because of selling talismans. These people were like wolves that had been hungry for a long time and suddenly smelled fat meat. They had green eyes and wanted to eat her alive.

This made Ye Wanxi doubt once again whether the price of her talisman was... too low?

"...a limit of six tickets per person."

"Only six sheets? How can that be enough? Can you calculate based on the number of people in my family? My family includes my parents, grandparents, brothers, and sisters, totaling more than ten people!"

"Yes, yes, could you make an exception?"

Ye Wanxi: "..." It's not that I don't want to be accommodating, but with your way of buying things, I'd probably break my hands by the time I start doing it.

"Wanxi, Wanxi, do you have any hair growth talismans or insomnia talismans? This girl who stays up all night needs your care."

"Yes, yes, insomnia is so painful, and it affects the skin too. By the way, do you have any beauty charms?"

"I have everything, but I didn't know you needed it beforehand, and I didn't bring the tools, so I can't give it to you right now."

"No problem, let's add each other on WeChat. Just let us know when you're done drawing, and we can pick it up ourselves!"

When Gao Min drove over to pick up Ye Wanxi, this was the scene she saw: a large group of people, young and old, from the crew, both on and off screen, surrounding their artist, doing something she didn't know.

Our own artist was standing in the middle of the crowd, holding a bouquet of flowers with a forced smile, looking weak, helpless and pitiful.

Gao Min frowned, pushed through the crowd, grabbed Ye Wanxi's hand, and said heroically, "Um, we're in a hurry. Director Dou, if there's nothing else, I'll take Wanxi with me first."

"Alright, alright, Wanxi, you go ahead. We'll have a proper get-together after we finish filming and have a wrap party."

Since Director Dou had spoken, the others couldn't stop her anymore and reluctantly watched Ye Wanxi leave.

Just as Ye Wanxi was about to leave the film set, he couldn't help but call out from afar, "Wanxi, remember to keep in touch on WeChat, don't forget."

Gao Min was confused and frustrated: "What's going on? I've only been gone for less than an afternoon, how come these people from the crew are so familiar with you, and even added each other on WeChat?"

"I didn't expect this either." Ye Wanxi's lips twitched. "They wanted to buy talismans from me."

"The talisman you gave Lu Jingyun and the others before? Wasn't one of those supposed to cost 100,000?"

"Um."

"Did all those people want to buy?"

"Um."

"Isn't this a good thing? Business delivered to your doorstep, wouldn't you want to make money?"

“It’s one thing to want to, but you also need to have the ability. As you just saw, so many people were asking for dozens of drawings each. If I really did what they said, my hands would break.”

“Dozens of tickets per person, 100,000 per ticket…” Gao Min counted on her fingers for a while, her eyes shining brightly. “My goodness, how much money can we make in a day? Why don’t you quit being an artist and I’ll go with you to set up a stall on the overpass.”

Ye Wanxi rolled her eyes at her: "Get lost!"

"Alright, alright, enough joking around. The company has prepared a new spring/summer dress for you for the anniversary celebration. It comes in red and blue. Try it on when you get home and see which one you like."

"Blue is fine, nothing too eye-catching. There's already been enough news about me lately. I was able to attend the anniversary celebration at Banana TV thanks to Uncle Wang, there's no need for me to make a scene."

"You don't want to be too high-profile, but many people attending the anniversary celebration today are scrambling to attract attention. However, what you said makes sense; there have been enough reports about you lately. As an artist, it's good to appear in front of the public from time to time to maintain popularity, but appearing too frequently can easily trigger a rebellious mentality."

"Speaking of which, it seems your warning from before has worked. This morning, someone revealed that all the media outlets that were originally surrounding the fruit farmer's house have withdrawn, including those entertainment companies that wanted to sign him. Apparently, there's also a video circulating online, saying that they all crashed."

"video?"

"Haha, it was a streamer who went there to ride the wave of popularity. It seems like he started a live stream right away. He had just gotten near the fruit farmer's house when he heard the explosion. When he rushed over, he saw that all the people's cameras were starting to emit black smoke. After all the cameras were destroyed, his also caught fire."

Gao Min had watched the live broadcast clip, and it was undeniable that she felt really good when she saw the cameras burning.

Some netizens who do not want the family that has finally reunited to be disturbed again share the same feeling.

Therefore, the video garnered a lot of views as soon as it was released, and a lot of people were arguing about it.

Those who support Ye Wanxi are gloating, thinking that these people deserve it for repeatedly exploiting the victims and that they deserve retribution.

However, some sympathetic people thought Ye Wanxi was meddling in other people's business, felt sorry for the reporters who were staking out the area, and even thought that Ye Wanxi should compensate these reporters for their losses.

However, as soon as this kind of argument was put forward, it was severely ridiculed by the fans who were extremely enthusiastic.

Of all these replies, the one that left the deepest impression on Gao Min was...

[If some self-righteous people really feel sorry for these reporters, they should just buy their broken cameras themselves. If you don't have the money, don't pretend to be rich. And they have the nerve to blame others for warning them? According to your logic, if you do something immoral and I curse you online, and then you run a red light and get hit by a car, do you want to try and extort money from me? Their fate perfectly illustrates the old saying: "What goes around comes around; do too many immoral things and you might encounter ghosts."]

Even through the screen, Gao Min could feel the frustration of these people, whether they were genuine saints or fake online trolls, who were so angry they felt like they were having a heart attack.

"In the past few days, several artists from other agencies have been threatening to terminate their contracts, and some have even taken the matter to court, accusing them of mistreating their artists, tricking them into signing a series of unequal contracts with no legal effect, and forcing their artists to engage in illegal activities. Forget about causing trouble for that family, they can hardly protect themselves."

Ye Wanxi was not surprised by this: "Those who do many unrighteous deeds will surely perish. One should not be too contrary to one's conscience."

The Banana Channel’s anniversary celebration started at 8 o’clock, and Ye Wanxi and the others rushed back to the company before 6 o’clock.

The clothes that had been ordered were still placed in a gift box in the lounge. Gao Min brought Ye Wanxi in and urged her to go in and try them on quickly. After putting them on, she could take advantage of the time and eat something on the way without having to rush.

Ye Wanxi opened the gift box, glanced at it, her expression turned slightly cold, and pulled her skirt up, revealing a large hole.

Thank you Wencha and Qicai Moli for the 100-point donation, and thank you -Backlighting for the 588-point donation! Mwah!
