Chapter 626 Is His Family Finally Going Bankrupt?
"banquet?"
Upon hearing those two words, Ye Wanxi subconsciously assumed that the Feng family was going to hold some kind of private banquet, and that she and Feng Tianyu would need to make a public appearance together.
Unexpectedly, Feng Tianyu said, "A wealthy businessman in Z City invited my mother to his son's wedding, but unfortunately, my mother had something to do those days and couldn't go. The businessman's wife and my mother are good friends who have known each other for many years. Originally, my mother planned to send Yi Huan, but she was recently dragged away on a date and trip by that kid Han Yue."
"So, you want me to go with you?"
"Um."
Ye Wanxi thought for a moment. Z City and R City are adjacent, so they could go there after they finished their business. It wouldn't take much trouble.
"Alright then, I'll go with you."
"Um."
Ye Wanxi hesitated for a moment, then asked uncertainly, "Should we prepare any wedding gifts for the newlyweds?"
"No need, my mom has already prepared the gifts, we can just bring them over."
Ye Wanxi breathed a sigh of relief: "Mhm."
The variety show that Ye Wanxi and Feng Tianyu participated in is called "My Other Half". It invites several popular celebrities who have publicly announced their relationships in recent years, as well as their partners, whether from the entertainment industry or not.
It's important to understand that the labels for internet celebrities are good-looking, beautiful, able to sing and dance, and most importantly, young.
Because of these characteristics, their popularity differs from that of ordinary singers and actors, with a significant proportion being fans who are either husbands or wives.
This has led to many popular celebrities being extremely afraid to talk about their relationships. Any popular celebrity whose relationship has been exposed by paparazzi is considered to be courting disaster.
It's clear that the planner of this show is a crazy and daring guy. Other shows might invite one or two bombshells, which is fine, but bombshells can also generate buzz and boost ratings.
This show, however, invites a whole bunch of people at once, and once it explodes, it's bound to have a ripple effect.
Just by looking at the list, one can imagine the fierce competition that will ensue once the show airs.
In fact, the invitation list had already been torn apart once when the program team announced it.
The first season of this show invited a total of five couples. Apart from Ye Wanxi's couple, the first four couples were confirmed and announced early on.
As a result, the official Weibo account is filled with former husbands and wives of these popular celebrities cursing and swearing every day.
The announcement of Ye Wanxi and her partner's relationship came just two days before the variety show's filming was scheduled to begin, leaving everyone stunned.
[What? Did I see that right? The fifth couple on this awful variety show is Ye Wanxi and her boyfriend? Someone pinch me and tell me this isn't real?]
[After surfing the internet too much, I've struck gold! This devilish director actually managed to get Ye Wanxi to come!]
[This show was heavily criticized before because it invited a bunch of popular celebrities and their boyfriends/girlfriends. Hahaha, the director was completely unaware of the fighting power of these toxic fans who turned against them. The official Weibo account was bombarded with attacks from these trolls and dared not speak. Back then, someone joked that the only way to save this terrible show was for the director to invite Ye Wanxi and her mysterious boyfriend. Unexpectedly, their words came true! Amazing!]
[Where is that prophet who predicted Ye Wanxi and her boyfriend? I need to pray to him; maybe I'll find a boyfriend next year!]
Am I the only one wondering how much the director paid Ye Wanxi to bring her boyfriend to participate in this show? I'd guess it was eight figures.
[On the top floor, eight figures, no less.]
[Little Leaf: I didn't want to either, but they gave me just too much!]
[I'm suddenly a little grateful to the director. Xiao Yezi's mysterious boyfriend is truly mysterious! After digging for so long, I haven't found a single clue about him. I'm so curious! I wonder if Xiao Yezi's boyfriend is handsome or not. Just for that, I'm definitely watching this show!]
The haters of other celebrities were collectively stunned when they saw these comments. Ye Wanxi had revealed her relationship herself, and it seemed that she did not experience a large-scale loss of fans after the exposure. Therefore, when she announced that she would participate in this program, her fans accepted it well and were even a little excited.
Other fans of popular celebrities find this incomprehensible. Your idol's sister (younger sister) has run off with another scoundrel, and instead of getting angry or cursing, you're cheering and full of anticipation. Don't you have any self-awareness as fans of popular celebrities?
The production team staff couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw the public opinion surrounding the last group of guests after their public relations efforts.
The previously announced guest lineup was met with a barrage of criticism, to the point that some staff members were afraid to mention which variety show they were currently in charge of, lest they be ambushed and retaliated against by those crazed online trolls.
Unexpectedly, this last group of guests went so smoothly, and everyone felt that there was hope for the future again, at least they didn't have to worry about being assassinated at any time.
Sure enough, experience counts. The director was right; they were the only ones who could revive the show. I wonder how much the director paid them for their appearance.
The announcement of the variety show lineup unsurprisingly sparked heated discussions among netizens, and Ye Wanxi's mysterious boyfriend, whom no one dared to reveal, was once again brought up for discussion.
Everyone was speculating about who this person was. Young men who had interacted with Ye Wanxi online, such as Xiang Yueqi, Qi Yingxuan, and Zou Hanming, were among those being guessed.
Meanwhile, their appearance fees have also become a hot topic of discussion.
As a result, during the next two days on set, people would frequently linger around Ye Wanxi, subtly inquiring about her appearance fee, leaving Ye Wanxi somewhat amused and exasperated.
The production team really went to great lengths to get them to accept the invitation, offering a fairly generous appearance fee, but it was definitely within an acceptable range, not as exorbitant as they had guessed.
Even Qi Yingxuan, after learning about this, made a special trip to find her and gave Feng Tianyu a sarcastic remark.
"Are you two going to participate in a couples variety show?"
"Um."
"Whose idea is this? It's Senior Brother, isn't it? I knew it! That brooding peacock, he seems quiet all the time, but he's actually been wanting to declare his dominance to the world for a long time. And you, why do you always spoil him? You can't spoil a man. If you don't discipline him for three days, he'll be climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles. If you keep spoiling him like this, he'll suffer sooner or later!"
"Fifth Senior Brother," Ye Wanxi said helplessly, "It's not that I'm spoiling him. It was the program team that invited me, and I accepted the invitation."
"You answered the call?" Qi Yingxuan scoffed. "So what if you did? He still agreed."
Ye Wanxi gave an awkward smile: "Isn't it because they gave too much?"
Qi Yingxuan remained unmoved, raising his head and exhaling a mocking breath from his nostrils: "Is his company finally going bankrupt? They're so fixated on this little bit of money."
Ye Wanxi: "..." It's like you're talking as if you're richer than Senior Brother.
