After returning to school, Ye Zhiwei would spend her free time in the library reviewing textbooks she hadn't listened to before. In the evenings, Jiang Jianian would basically take up all her time, so her time was quite fulfilling.

About a week after returning to school, she went to class in the morning with her textbooks. Her former admirer found the seat next to Ye Zhiwei and took the textbooks. Seeing Ye Zhiwei looking sleepy, propping her chin up and dozing off, she exclaimed in shock, "Beautiful lady, didn't you see the trending topics? Your sister is trending!"

Ye Yingying?

Ye Zhiwei didn't get a good rest yesterday because Jiang Jianian kept her occupied. She was drowsy this morning, but as soon as she sat down, her good friend and fangirl came over to tell her that Ye Yingying was trending on social media.

Ye Zhiwei was stunned for a moment before taking out her phone to look.

The little fangirl chattered on and on, "Oh my god, first place! Your sister is amazing! And from the interview, it seems she only thought about trying her hand in the entertainment industry around her second year of high school. She debuted as an important supporting actress in Yu Shishu, and now she's still number one in Yanxi Opera."

He is indeed number one.

It seems they initially bought press releases, but many people didn't believe it, saying the results weren't fully released yet. Then, one morning, a professor from the school liked a post about the students' rankings. Although the like was quickly removed, it was screenshotted by many marketing accounts, and the report was verified.

#Ye Yingying ranked first in the Yanxi Opera entrance exam# became a trending topic.

#Ye Yingying Ranks First in Yanjing Drama Entrance Exam# The entrance exam results for Yanjing Drama Academy have been released. @Ye YingyingV ranked first, @Dream Chaser Liu Xia ranked fourth nationwide, @Actress Ling Jiajia ranked 12th nationwide, and @Y-Xu Meining ranked 23rd nationwide. @Ye Yingying is quite impressive; it seems she ranked first in all the other entrance exams except for the Foreign Film Academy.

Some reporters even followed her to the school and interviewed her before she entered. Ye Yingying's answer was very official. She first said that she was indeed very surprised when she received the news, and then she said, "Although I am very happy to get first place in the performance major, the important thing now is the academic subjects. I hope I can have the same luck in the college entrance examination."

She mentioned luck, and apart from some haters who dislike Ye Yingying, most fans and even casual viewers wished her well: Although she said it was luck, her strength is also obvious to all. We look forward to the broadcast of Yu Shishu's new drama and to Ye Yingying's portrayal of Yingzi.

However, the entertainment industry is a place full of gossip. Several months later, Ye Yingying was trending on social media again because she ranked first in the art exam. Naturally, this caught the eye of some people. Some even started to spread rumors that the Ye family helped Ye Yingying bribe the top scorer. However, this news did not spread much. In fact, some rumors started to circulate that Ye Yingying got the role of Yingzi by bribing Yu Shishu with the Ye family.

Such speculation quickly dissipated.

Yu Shishu very rarely forwarded related comments: I only choose artists who are pleasing to the eye. If an artist is not suitable, I will replace them directly even if it takes a lot of money and time. It turns out that Ye Yingying is very suitable for the role of Yingzi. I am very glad that this role is played by @YeYingyingV.

Yu Shishu usually doesn't speak up. Even if his dramas have been the subject of much online discussion and attacks from many uninformed netizens, he won't say anything. As long as his dramas are broadcast, it will be the best slap in the face to those who spread rumors. But this is not the first time Yu Shishu has spoken up for Ye Yingying.

What was originally just a very small rumor has, because of Yu Shishu's statement, put Ye Yingying in the spotlight once again.

There are even marketing accounts that specialize in analyzing entertainment gossip interpreting Yu Shishu like this: Have you seen Yu Shishu's Weibo post? Here comes the reading comprehension. What does "I only choose artists who catch my eye" mean? This statement directly refutes those who say Ye Yingying bought the role. First of all, everyone should know Yu Shishu's identity. He is the second young master of the Yu family. You should know the Yu family, right? It's the Yu Group, which is currently very influential in China. Even now, Sweety-Candy, the dessert kingdom created by Yu Shishu's brother, is still a popular spot for socialites and internet celebrities. As the second young master of the Yu family, he has no worries about money.

Secondly, according to a wealthy friend of mine, the Ye family and the Yu family don't have a good relationship. He doesn't know the specific reasons, but it's certain that the Ye and Yu families have some conflicts. If they really had connections back then, given their current strained relationship, Yu Shishu would never have spoken out. This can only indirectly suggest one thing: Yu Shishu's casting choices are really based on personal preferences.

Third, this last point is entirely based on my own personal speculation. This opinion represents only my own statement and is not intended to be defamatory or slanderous. If there is any infringement, the person concerned can contact me to have the post deleted.

Okay, let's get back to the main point. Everyone probably knows Yu Shishu's personality. Yu Shishu is known for being incorruptible and impartial. He really dislikes marketing and doesn't even like to clarify things. You can look at the situation of Yu Shishu's works in previous years. Basically, Yu Shishu has never spoken out. I remember that before, his drama "Ambush" caused him to be criticized on the hot search for a long time because he terminated his contract with a big star who was filming multiple projects at the same time. It seems that the big star's fans even spontaneously boycotted Yu Shishu's new drama. Even under such circumstances, Yu Shishu did not speak out. It was only after "Ambush" became a hit and the big star was arrested for suspected drug use that the big star's behavior of filming multiple projects at the same time and acting like a diva was exposed. It seems that at that time, the big star was just a small role in the drama. Yu Shishu was not that famous at that time. The big star probably wanted to add more scenes, but Yu Shishu refused, and the two sides had a very ugly falling out. Yu Shishu has never liked to use big-name artists. So far, he has basically used newcomers. It wasn't until this year's drama "Ye Yingying" that Yu Shishu used Wen Zhaolin, who is relatively popular.

Okay, from the above, we can see that Yu Shishu has a rather stubborn personality. He particularly dislikes hype and doesn't like his dramas to have any buzz before they air. He hopes that people will discuss the dramas he made, not other things outside of the dramas. Even after the dramas became popular, he rarely appeared in the public eye and didn't like interviews. Some artists who mentioned Yu Shishu said that Director Yu is very strict off-screen, but he is a very reserved person who doesn't like to interact with others. But despite this evaluation, Director Yu has spoken out for Ye Yingying one after another.

Every time Ye Yingying speaks out, it's when her reputation might be affected. This time, she spoke out even when the negative news was relatively minor. I don't need to spell it out, you all understand what that means.

As soon as this report came out, Ye Yingying and Yu Shishu both became trending topics.

After class, all the students in the get out of class came to ask Ye Zhiwei about the marketing account because it was so convincing. Among them were many fans of the drama "Yu Shishu".

"Zhiwei, is what that marketing account said true? Is Ye Yingying really dating Yu Shishu? Or is Yu Shishu pursuing Ye Yingying?"

Ye Zhiwei was later educated by this analysis post from the marketing account, and she finally understood how gossip about the love affairs between celebrities came about from nothing.
