Day 26
[Xufeng Fans Online Mic: #周恒宇过Budget# Absolutely, absolutely, disgusting! I came to New Century because I thought there were too many royals next door. How come there are royals here too?]
When will my son finally make it big: #周恒宇超Budget# I feel bad for the above, but this Royal Family thing happens in every talent show. Please don't give up on our Little Century, baby. Aside from a few (emphasized) bugs, the rest of the kids are good kids.
[Nighttime dream talk: #周恒宇超财经# The person above is really trying hard to promote it. I’ve seen you several times.]
When will my son finally make it big: #周恒宇超财经# Oh well, there's nothing I can do. My son is on the show, so as a mom I have to give it my all.
[VIP has reached its end: #周恒宇超Budget# Has anyone dug into Zhou Hengyu's family? Isn't he just a celebrity family? Are his parents not A-list celebrities? Where does he get all that power?]
[Xufeng Xiufen online microphone: #周恒宇超财经# I know this question! I'll do it! You don't know, some unknown celebrities are not unable to promote themselves, but want to start other businesses to make big money. His parents are like that. I can only say that according to what I dug up on a certain group on Baidu, this family is rich and powerful.]
[Missing someone named Xiaowei: #周恒宇过财经# What does it mean? Can you explain it more clearly?]
[Passionate Xiufen online live broadcast: #周恒宇过Budget# I’m afraid of being reported, so I can’t help it. I’ll give you the link, please watch it yourself]
[I'm a manzai expert: #周恒宇超Budget# Regardless of his background, could you please not interfere with the treasure hunt? I admit he's good-looking and his rap is passable, but he's truly charismatic. Why bother with this?]
However, Zhou Hengyu soon reacted, and a large number of internet trolls quickly poured in, lavishly posting positive reviews for Zhou Hengyu under this hot search, and producing various Amway videos, trying to take advantage of this wave of black and red to expand his fame.
Liu Yu kept an eye on the developments. She had thought that the internet trolls and Zhou Hengyu's fans would insult and slander Fu Xunyan, but that didn't happen. Only a few black fans were jumping up and down.
She looked at the reply from Chen Lianqing on the phone, not quite understanding it.
Chen Lianqing said that because of the intervention of the official media in the previous Fu Xunyan incident, several CCTV channels, although not saying it directly, praised Fu Xunyan implicitly, so now other big fans are very reluctant to criticize Fu Xunyan.
Firstly, Fu Xunyan now has a very strong mass base. If they slander him without any evidence, it may cause social resentment and bring great negative impact to their brother.
Secondly, they were also worried that if the official media came out to vouch for Fu Xunyan, it would be a slap in the face for them.
This fierce confrontation without any smoke even overshadowed the Ye Lai family's propaganda.
It only took Ye Ma one night of futile struggle for her to go from being unwilling at the beginning to being happy to watch the show, and then she began to take every opportunity to recommend Ye Lai to passers-by.
For example, "Yes, yes, our Ye Zi is the handsome guy next to the villain Zhou Hengyu, everyone can take a look", "Our Ye Zi is very well-behaved, and has nothing to do with Zhou Hengyu. He is just a poor little guy bullied by the royal family."
Since "New Century" collected everyone's mobile phones indiscriminately, the trainees were not yet aware of the online battle between Zhou Hengyu and Fu Xunyan.
But Zhou Hengyu saw the reactions of the crowd and his own score. Perhaps the blow he suffered was too great, and he became unusually quiet after the game.
According to the rumors spread by Shao Ruzhou, he became autistic.
After hearing this rumor, Fu Xunyan put the paper on the bedside, and a new day began.
"What did you say? Is it really Patrox?" Chief Planner Yang Qing was a little shocked and immediately stopped what he was doing. "Doesn't the F family have ideas too?"
The person reporting in smiled and said, "Yeah, I was shocked too. I was a little suspicious when I received the call, but it turned out to be Ms. Lin, the chief designer of Patrox."
"She said she wanted to work with Fu Xunyan and asked him to be the brand ambassador of Patrox for the next two years. However, based on the information from the first episode of our show, she went to find Baoyin and found out that Fu Xunyan had already terminated the contract."
"She finds it troublesome to find an agent and wants to contact Fu Xunyan directly through us."
"As for the F family... although they have borrowed costumes for this stage, they seem to be still hesitant. I wonder if they can contact Fu Xunyan before the P family."
Yang Qing tapped the table lightly with his fingers and pushed up his glasses. "Fu Xunyan's popularity is really fast. Look, after the show aired yesterday, his popularity has soared to number one today."
"We originally arranged for him to be an intermediary, but we don't want to offend Ms. Lin... How about this, go call Fu Xunyan and see what he thinks."
After the live broadcast ended yesterday, the election authorities notified us that today was a day off, so Fu Xunyan indulged himself and slept until eight o'clock before waking up slowly.
The entire dormitory was still dark with the curtains drawn. Da Pei had some rhinitis so he made slight breathing sounds. Bai Wenji and Shen Chi were both fast asleep and there was no sound at all.
Fu Xunyan got up quietly, washed quickly, put on his unchanging training clothes, and went to the gym to exercise.
"You're here so early too?"
The boy on the treadmill lifted the towel from his neck and wiped away the sweat. The sunlight outside the window was perfect, illuminating him with a bright, sunny glow. His black pupils, reflected by the sun, turned into glass, so pale that they could reveal a person's silhouette.
"What's so early about this? It's already nine o'clock." Ye Lai pursed her lips and responded lightly.
"Besides, you've been here for an hour, haven't you? I'm considered late."
The only sounds in the gym were the two of them breathing.
It has to be said that most boys of this age are a bit lazy, not to mention the trainees who are relatively good-looking. Most of them who grew up in a spoiled and smooth environment cannot learn self-discipline.
Not even one person out of a hundred would come to the gym to exercise. For them, the practice room is tiring enough and there is no need to add more burden to themselves.
This guy is really serious about training... Ye Lai, who hadn't heard Fu Xunyan speak for a long time, looked at him several times.
"Congratulations, you won first place this time."
Fu Xunyan pressed the pause button and the treadmill stopped briefly. He wiped the sweat from his neck and glanced sideways.
"Well, after all, I did it seriously."
Ye Lai showed an indescribable expression, "You are really not humble. Logically, you should be humble and then comfort me. I lost because of you."
"Because of me?" Fu Xunyan didn't understand his logic. Although he didn't say anything else, his eyes showed his seriousness - Aren't you only fifth? There are still three ahead of you.
Ye Lai covered his forehead with his hands. "Don't you have a high emotional intelligence? Is it really good for you to be so mean to me now?"
“Nothing mean.”
The boy explained seriously, and Ye Lai's heart trembled.
"Emotional intelligence is used when dealing with strangers, colleagues, and business partners. When it comes to friends, perhaps being more sincere is better?"
Ye Lai found it ridiculous and hurriedly avoided his eyes, staring blankly at the dumbbell in his hand.
"What's the point of being sincere or insincere? Are you still mocking me? I'm a senior, so please respect the elderly and love the young, okay?"
The man didn't say anything. Ye Lai looked up and found that he was already standing in front of her.
Fu Xunyan, who was standing, was much taller than him. He lowered his eyes, and his lazy eyes always looked cold and affectionate.
Ye Lai scratched his neck uncomfortably.
"I'm not laughing at you, and you haven't lost."
"I saw your performance backstage. It was very good. You performed perfectly. It wasn't your fault that you didn't get a high score. It was just the influence of the rules."
"The number of votes doesn't give me the right to laugh at you, Ye Lai."
This was the first time he called his name seriously...
When those black eyes stared at people, it was like the rising spring water, drowning the flowers by the lake.
“No one has the right to laugh at you, look down on you, or be disappointed in you just because of a single failure. Those who blame you for not getting first place don’t know your true nature, don’t see your hard work, and they’re not worth your sadness.”
Ye Lai felt the heat climbing up his face. He looked out the window, letting the sun burn his eyes.
"What? I didn't say I was sad. Of course I know all this..."
"Then consider me nosy." The boy shrugged.
"I heard Jiang Han say that you stayed in the pavilion for a long time last night, and I thought you were unhappy."
To be honest, Ye Lai was depressed for a long time after the show ended yesterday. He won first place in "Hot-Blooded Battle Song", but his votes dropped to fifth among all the stages.
Two dark horses emerged on the stage of "Hot-Blooded Battle Song". Although the number of votes they received did not exceed his, the votes were severely split.
As a result, Ye Lai only had 94 votes.
Looking at the three people standing between him and that name, Ye Lai felt extremely uncomfortable.
Even though today was a day off, he'd been completely sleepless last night. He couldn't describe the ache in his heart. He'd carried so much hope from his fans, and had initially been at the top of the charts, leaving a huge gap behind, yet now it seemed like he was slowly being surpassed.
He is disappointing many people's expectations.
Ye Lai was extremely depressed, so he took advantage of the fact that no one came to the gym to vent his frustrations by exercising. However, he became even more depressed when he saw Fu Xunyan, whose muscular lines could not be concealed even with a simple T-shirt.
Why does this person seem to be able to do everything?
After listening to Fu Xunyan's words, for some reason, Ye Lai could no longer maintain his stubborn attitude, and the loss in his heart slowly dissipated.
Ye Lai actually knew very well that 94 votes was just an accidental result and could not negate his own strength.
But he's an idol, a commodity waiting to be sold. The outside world's voices about him are too loud, and passersby won't examine the reasons for his failure. They just think, "Isn't Ye Lai really that good? He only got fifth place."
It is because of the fear of these voices that Ye Lai has to belittle himself first.
Isn't that how people are? If you completely deny yourself first, you'll feel more at ease when negative comments come from the outside world.
The scars you inflict on yourself are more painful; the wounds inflicted by others will not make you collapse.
Fu Xunyan was still looking at him, and Ye Lai lowered his head slightly.
"A little bit, but it's all gone now."
"That's good."
"You..." Ye Lai was mentally prepared and was about to say thank you when an election officer came in.
"Fu Xunyan, you're here. I've been looking for you for a long time. Planner Yang wants you to go to the office. Hurry up."
"Okay, I'll come."
Fu Xunyan wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel, sniffed his body and found there was no strange smell. He didn't have time to go back and change his clothes.
"Hmm? What were you about to say?"
Looking at those clear eyes, Ye Lai swallowed his words again, "It's okay, isn't there something over there calling you? Go first."
"Then I'm leaving." Fu Xunyan withdrew his gaze from Ye Lai and quickly left the gym.
**
"Xunyan." Yang Qing was signing with a pen. When he saw Fu Xunyan come in, he looked up at him and then lowered his head. "Please sit down first. I'll talk to you after I finish signing the two documents here."
That's how leaders are. They're clearly eager to call you over, but they always ask you to wait. The bottom line is, your status and value aren't high enough to compete with what they want to do first.
It has nothing to do with politeness, because they think there is no need to talk about politeness with you.
After about ten minutes, Yang Qing finally finished the work at hand, turned around his boss chair and waved to Fu Xunyan.
"Do you know Ms. Lin Weiwei Lin from Patrox?"
"I can't say I know her." Fu Xunyan said honestly, "I only know Ms. Lin from a personal perspective."
"Hmm." Yang Qing didn't comment on this and suddenly changed the subject, "Your current agency contract is no longer with Baoyin?"
"Yes, I broke up peacefully with Baoyin about a week ago."
"Ah, no one told me such a big thing." Yang Qing stared at the computer screen, his hands busy, and he didn't look at Fu Xunyan.
"They've suddenly proposed working with you, and it's quite urgent. They hope you can come over tomorrow to sign the contract and film, but they can't contact your agency. Here's her contact information... Ah, trainees don't have cell phones, right? Then you can talk to her here."
Oh.
Fu Xunyan did not say anything on the surface, but obediently contacted Ms. Lin Weiwei through Yang Qing's office phone.
The conversation with Lin Weiwei was very brief because Fu Xunyan was not willing to discuss cooperation in Yang Qing's office. He just thanked Lin Weiwei and gave her Li Pengcheng's phone number, asking her to talk in detail with her agent.
Even after Fu Xunyan hung up the phone, Yang Qing kept staring at him.
This guy is quite smart. He knows not to say too much in front of him and pushes everything to the agent behind the scenes.
"Xiao Fu, I won't beat around the bush with you. Although Patrox is a very, very good opportunity, you also know that the show hasn't ended yet. As a trainee, you also have to consider the show."
"I originally planned for you to be in the middle of filming this week..."
"If the time doesn't conflict, I can also shoot." Fu Xunyan agreed.
The trainees are not paid for the interludes in the program because it is like a transaction. The program gives the trainees more screen time, and correspondingly, the trainees have to "work for free."
Given Fu Xunyan's current popularity, the program crew really has to beg him to do the interlude, rather than him being grateful for taking the role.
Fu Xunyan doesn't care about the small amount of money, so free filming is not a big deal. At least the fans have new materials to watch, right?
Yang Qing was very satisfied with Fu Xunyan's understanding and tact. He felt better and smiled more. "Then go and get ready. If you guys reach an agreement, I'm afraid you'll have to leave the base tonight to catch up with tomorrow's filming."
