Chapter 651 Irreconcilable Feud
Compared to other popular celebrities, Ye Wanxi's schedule has always been very relaxed, which simply means she is somewhat neglecting her duties.
However, Gao Min, as her agent, is even busier than the artist herself, especially recently, as the company intends to groom her for a higher position, making her even busier than before.
This time, Gao Min didn't come to Ye Wanxi's recording of the program; instead, an assistant named Qiu Yuerong came.
Ye Wanxi initially refused when she found out, feeling it was unnecessary. She wasn't used to having someone she wasn't very familiar with suddenly taking such meticulous care of her daily life, nor did she feel that her work was so busy that she needed someone else to assist her.
After spending a few days with this assistant, Ye Wanxi exclaimed: "She's really great!"
The assistant's goodness is not only reflected in her dedication and thoughtfulness, but also in her extensive gossip network.
It's safe to say that even established paparazzi in the industry might not know as much gossip as she does.
The information Ye Wanxi had just received originated from this.
Qiu Yuerong sent her a message a minute ago, which roughly said: Stay away from Lian Lifan on the show. He's a wicked person, and getting too close to him might cause trouble.
Ye Wanxi was stunned when she saw the message, and couldn't help but feel curious.
"Do you know him?"
Qiu Yuerong replied quickly.
"I don't know him."
"Then how do you know he has bad intentions?"
“Lian Lifan is a wicked and vindictive person. He is a rising star who came from a singing and dancing talent show a couple of years ago. There were a hundred people who participated in the show, and he ranked third.”
Ye Wanxi raised an eyebrow, not realizing that the guy was so capable.
He's not particularly good-looking, even a bit triangular-eyed. It's not very noticeable when he's not smiling, but when he does smile, he looks a little bit sleazy.
Of course, it's possible that someone is genuinely miniaturized.
As for talent, Ye Wanxi really couldn't see much talent in him after meeting him for a day. She could tell that he loved to force a good man persona, but he didn't have much patience for his girlfriend.
"Top three out of 100, so he must be pretty good at his job."
No.
"no?"
"The reason Lian Lifan got into the top three is because those who performed better than him were either eliminated by his company's behind-the-scenes capital manipulation and shady editing, or he secretly used methods to make them withdraw voluntarily due to various private matters."
Ye Wanxi raised her eyebrows slightly, her surprise growing.
"If he got them all, how come they only got third place?"
"Because the first two were even more powerful than him."
Ye Wanxi: "..." After all that trouble, in the end it still comes down to having powerful connections?
"Who is his backer? Do you know?"
"I know, his backer is the general manager of their company, who is his brother-in-law."
"I see." Ye Wanxi sighed. No wonder he dared to act so recklessly; it turned out he had powerful backers to rely on.
Qiu Yuerong was afraid that Ye Wanxi wouldn't take it seriously. Seeing that Ye Wanxi hadn't replied for a long time, she started to explain Ye Wanxi's impressive resume to her.
"Lian Lifan's brother-in-law is the general manager of his agency. Thanks to this family connection, plus his slightly better-looking face, he was able to sign with his current company and participate in a singing and dancing reality show invested and produced by his company."
"So, he's the legendary... variety show king?"
"Yes. Before Lian Lifan participated in the variety show, his agency hired a large number of online trolls to create the impression that he was very popular and well-liked. But in fact, his popularity was far less than that of his two roommates at the time. His two roommates were both internet celebrities who were discovered by talent scouts and signed into entertainment companies after they became famous. It can be said that they came with their own fans when they participated in the show, which gave them an advantage over the average contestant."
"That's why Lian Lifan's brother-in-law specially arranged for him to live with these two, just to ride on their popularity and get a free ride. Lian Lifan didn't disappoint his brother-in-law and quickly became familiar with the two, calling each other brothers. But in reality, he was very jealous of the two and did a lot of backstabbing during the show."
"Both of his roommates were eliminated?"
"Yes, they were eliminated halfway through the competition."
"Is it due to technical reasons, or... something else?"
"One of them was an exceptionally good dancer, but he accidentally fell off his bunk bed while getting up in the dorm at night and broke his leg, forcing him to withdraw from the competition. Another one was forced to withdraw from the competition because his relationship was suddenly revealed."
"Did Lian Lifan do all of this?"
"Yes, Lian Lifan was unhappy that his roommate, who was good at dancing, had more opportunities to perform in the previous competition, and the camera was basically focused on him, which caused him to get the lowest number of votes. As for the other roommate who exposed his relationship, it was purely because the other person accidentally saw him being intimate with a girl, and Lian Lifan was worried that he would tell others, so he simply took the initiative."
"Tsk!" Ye Wanxi couldn't help but admire her foresight upon hearing this. No wonder she felt disgusted by Lian Lifan the moment she saw him; this man had done quite a few despicable things.
"There are many similar cases. Anyway, all the people ahead of him eventually withdrew from the competition, leaving only the top two and some scoundrels. Actually, the top two also offended him, but their agencies were bigger than Lian Lifan's."
Ye Wanxi understood. So this guy wasn't very capable, but he was quite skilled in crooked ways.
Unfortunately, there are always mountains beyond mountains and skies beyond skies. He can't compete with others in terms of connections, and he probably can't outmaneuver them in terms of cunning either. So he can only "sit down" to third place.
"That's alright. He's the type to bully the weak and fear the strong. After I confronted him twice, he should tone it down a bit."
After sending the message, Qiu Yuerong remained silent for a while before reappearing.
"That's generally true, but you have a grudge against him."
Ye Wanxi was stunned.
"I have a grudge against him? How come I didn't know that?"
Qiu Yuerong's response was to directly post a schedule chart, with Lian Lifan on the left and Ye Wanxi on the right.
On the night Lian Lifan formed the group, Ye Wanxi's first prediction came true.
Lian Lifan released his first single, and Ye Wanxi's second prediction came true.
Lian Lifan attended the King of Pop concert as a special guest, and Ye Wanxi's third prediction came true.
When Lien Li-fan's first album was released, Yeh Wan-hsi appeared on the Legal Channel.
...
As the match progressed, almost every time the other side made a big move, it inevitably led to Ye Wanxi making headlines.
Once Ye Wanxi trends on social media, she almost always dominates the list, with numerous entries and a long time remaining on the trending topics.
By the time her fever subsided, even Li Fan's daylily had completely cooled down.
As Ye Wanxi looked through the rows, she couldn't help but feel a pang of pity for the poor creature for a few seconds.
Tragic, truly tragic!
Given this situation, Qiu Yuerong has already downplayed it. This isn't just a grudge between them; it's an irreconcilable feud!
