"That's right. I cherish our friendship so much, how could I possibly do anything underhanded behind our backs?"
"What about your agent? Will he make things difficult for you because you rejected his offer?" Wen Yan was still a little worried for her good friend.
"No. He was just saying that casually. If he had used his brain, he wouldn't have supported me doing this. Offending you would not benefit either of us."
"That's good. But if you don't get along with him, that's okay too. Come to me, I'll protect you."
"The contract hasn't expired yet, and working with him right now isn't bad at all; he's been very helpful to me. Besides, haven't you noticed that my resources have been getting better and better lately?"
"I noticed, but that's because you're getting better and better."
"Oh my god..." Wang Che on the other end of the phone was practically grinning from ear to ear. "You're making me blush. It's just that you've been making great strides forward, and as your good friend, how could I possibly fall too far behind you?"
As he spoke, Wang Che's tone suddenly became serious: "Da Yanzi, you have truly impressed me along the way. Although you are now a general manager, every step you have taken since I met you has been solid and you have done a great job every time. I want to emulate you and learn from you. I also hope that one day we can meet at the top. I hope that day will not be too long for me to wait."
“Xiao Chezi!” Wen Yan’s heart was suddenly touched by her good friend’s words. “Why are you suddenly being so sentimental and inspiring? It makes me want to get up right away and join the crew to film three or five episodes straight.”
"Sure, your fans will be thrilled if you keep taking pictures, and the audience will get a treat too. Why don't you get up right now?"
"You devil! I just lay down. And I was just kidding, didn't I tell you that I plan to take some time to reflect and further my studies?"
"I know, I was just joking with you."
"Okay, let's get back to business. How do you plan to handle this trending topic today? I don't really want to get involved, since it's not the first time I've been in the gossip spot. I'm immune to all poisons now, but I don't know if it will have a negative impact on you."
"How could it possibly have a negative impact?" Wang Che laughed heartily. "I'm just riding on your coattails, okay? I'm already gaining followers. Haven't you seen a lot of people praising how handsome I am?"
"He also said that he usually sees me as someone who is invisible and doesn't think I'm that good-looking, but when I stand next to you, I become incredibly handsome and love me to death."
"Haha," Wen Yan laughed, "Really? There's such a saying?"
“Of course. But…” Wang Che changed the subject, “Actually, I really dislike those ridiculous nicknames they gave you, like ‘CP Queen,’ and all that nonsense. We’re good friends, and I don’t want them to label you with another rumored boyfriend just because I’m around. So I want to make things clear to the public so they can stop spreading rumors and making wild guesses.”
In fact, back when Wen Yan was being criticized as the 'CP Queen', Wang Che had already clashed with several professional trolls online.
Because it was a direct confrontation, Wang Che was attacked by some netizens who said that a celebrity with millions of fans would actually call out his fans. Later, his agency warned him not to talk nonsense, so he chose to temporarily shut up.
Although Wen Yan didn't care much about the various taunts from the haters, Wang Che's unreserved support still moved her.
Now that Wang Che wants to clarify, she is naturally fully cooperating.
“Okay,” Wen Yan nodded. “Then remember to message me on QQ and let me know after you post the status.”
"no problem!"
The two ended the call quickly.
After hanging up the phone, Wen Yan immediately reported the matter to Qin Yulong, and then she started surfing the internet.
Just now, Wang Che was still stubbornly insisting that being on the trending topics with her wouldn't have any negative impact, but in the few minutes she's been scrolling through social media, she's already seen a lot of people criticizing Wang Che.
"Wang Che is Wen Yan's simp. He's been doing it ever since they filmed 'The Voice.' Back then, Wen Yan gained some popularity by riding on Shen Jinghe's coattails, and since Wang Che couldn't do that with Shen Jinghe, he switched to riding on Wen Yan's coattails."
'Yes, back then both of them were as obscure as could be. They were so unemployed they had to stay home and do nothing, so they could only stick together for warmth.'
'Yes, yes, these two didn't want Wen Yan to ride on the coattails of other male celebrities' popularity, so they simply stopped promoting their on-screen romance and just promoted their friendship instead.'
"Then you've got it wrong. This isn't being a simp, this is being a gigolo. Don't forget Wen Yan's true identity. Although she's an orphan, she was adopted by a wealthy family. Wang Che knew she was a rich and beautiful woman all along, so he's been living off her."
'Haha, as one of the eight, it's finally his and Wen Yan's turn to trend on social media today. He's probably snuggled in Wen Yan's arms, secretly laughing right now.'
"Um, what does 'one-eighth' mean? I understand all the other abbreviations, but this one is different. What does it mean?"
"That means Wang Che is one of the eight male celebrities Wen Yan has been paired with for promotional purposes. Looking across the entire entertainment industry, it seems no one else besides our 'Pairing Queen' can be paired with eight celebrities simultaneously."
"Oh, so that's what one-eighth means. I get it now."
"I have another scoop, but I can't guarantee it's true. Actually, Wang Che and Wen Yan came from the same orphanage. Wang Che is getting close to Wen Yan now because he's after her adoptive parents' wealth."
