Chapter 121 The tracking phone call was connected, Yi...

When the call was connected, Yi He smiled out of habit, sounding a little malicious.

"If you have something to say, please say it."

"It's nothing serious, just congratulations on being on the trending search again, but I've already spent money to help you lower it."

"What kind of hot search can I be on?" Xu Qingye curled his lips. It couldn't be that he was unqualified as an assistant. Netizens shouldn't be that boring either.

"Xu Hong is suspected of having an affair with a young man, and the crew interacted intimately."

Yi He read out a title, and Xu Qingye was speechless. He might have had a conflict with the crew recently, and he was always photographed wherever he went to.

"Even if it's suppressed from trending searches, someone must have seen it. Is there any movement online?"

Xu Qingye frowned. Xu Hong didn't contact him. It had been a long time. The other party must have contacted Xu Hong a long time ago, but she still posted the photos now. He didn't know whether the conditions were not negotiated or the other party was trying to make money from both sides without considering professional ethics.

"You know, netizens are most keen on this kind of gossip. Xu Hong's studio has already issued a clarification, saying that you are a relative who visited the crew. I hope everyone will not spread rumors and will not affect your normal life. However, you are wearing a mask, so the photo is not clear. I guess no one can recognize you."

Yi He sighed helplessly. He didn't know why netizens were most interested in sex scandals. Xu Hong couldn't escape it even at her old age.

"Got it. Anything else?"

"Yes, Weibo officially sent you an invitation letter, saying that they are inviting you to participate in the Internet Celebrity Festival. Many Internet celebrities have been invited this time. The account used for the invitation is this account."

Yi He continued to speak, and Xu Qingye became even more helpless. The nature of his account was too obvious, that is, he was a fan of Shen Que. Inviting him to participate in the show must have been a lot of calculations. If he said or did something wrong, it would definitely be labeled as Shen Que. Who told you that you were a fan of Shen Que? Fans acted like fans, and the idol paid for it.

"No, I'm not an internet celebrity, why would you invite even the celebrity fans?"

"The person they invited is the photography expert Que Ye, not Shen Que's fan Que Ye." Yi He explained, and Xu Qingye was even more speechless. Which photography expert only takes pictures of one person?

No, he also occasionally patted Shen Que's colleagues. They were probably invited because of his recent popularity.

"Why don't you go and pretend to be me?"

"I won't go. There are many more people who know me than you. How can I, the Second Young Master, show my face casually? Forget it, I'd better decline. Who asked you to post a selfie? If you don't post a selfie, Cao Muan can pretend to be you."

Xu Qingye's account often posts selfies. Although the face is not shown, the gender can be identified.

"I'll send you the flight information. Please pick me up at the airport later."

Xu Qingye should not get entangled and just reject the activity.

Yi He agreed, Xu Qingye hung up the phone and called Xu Hong again. After waiting for a long time, the other end finally answered the phone, and it was Xiao Yang who spoke.

"Sister Hong is currently filming. Do you want to ask about the scandal? Don't worry. Sister Hong will handle it and it won't affect you."

Xiao Yang knew the purpose of Xu Qingye's call and offered his comfort. This incident happened a little suddenly and they were not worried about a love scandal, but they were afraid that the relationship between Xu Qingye and Xu Hong would be discovered.

I have kept it well hidden all these years, and I hope it will continue to be this stable.

Xu Qingye hummed and didn't ask any more questions. Just as he was about to hang up the phone, Xiao Yang on the other end called him.

"Actually, there is something that Sister Hong didn't dare to tell you. She is going to hold a press conference to clarify this matter. At that time, she might say that you are her nephew. I hope you don't get angry."

Xiao Yang spoke cautiously. She had experienced Xu Qingye's violent temper. He appeared gentle on the surface, but was very stubborn at heart.

"Who am I? I may be a stranger or a relative's child. It's up to you to say what you want to say."

Xu Qingye was silent for a while, then sighed helplessly. If he had known earlier, he would not have visited the set, and there wouldn't have been so much trouble. He said he wanted to sever the relationship, but he couldn't be so cruel. Human emotions are really too complicated.

Xu Qingye laughed at himself, hung up the phone and walked into the waiting room.

He searched for information about himself and found that the first message was sent by that Hammer Brother in the entertainment industry.

Xu Qingye frowned as he looked at the ID. He took a screenshot and sent it to Brother Huang. Brother Huang called him immediately after seeing the message and discussed with him on the phone for a long time. They both decided not to make any moves for the time being.

Xu Qingye felt that the other party was probably targeting him, and was using a large account to send the message as a demonstration against him.

He had only had a few minor quarrels with the hammer, and it was the other party who provoked him, so why did he start to hold a grudge against him?

After returning to City A, Xu Qingye first went to Cherry Films and Television to discuss the cooperation plan in detail. Cherry Films and Television launched a short drama column which was doing very well. The main purpose of the cooperation discussed this time was the promotion of these short drama projects.

The publicity budget for short plays is limited, so it cannot be arranged like a long play. The main publicity depends on the Internet, and the main focus is on being economical and affordable.

Xu Qingye talked with the person in charge for a long time and roughly decided on a cooperation plan. It was already afternoon when they finished the talk. Xu Qingye wandered around bored, mainly to see if there was really anyone following him.

Xu Qingye seldom goes shopping. On the one hand, he is busy, and on the other hand, he is lazy. Thinking that he has never bought any gifts for Shen Que, he simply goes shopping in the mall. His colleagues are chatting with a few people in the company in the group.

Xu Qingye: How about setting a trap for him? I'll bring a female celebrity home every day and see if it gets exposed.

If he was really being filmed secretly, Xu Qingye wouldn't mind sending him a few trending searches, but it's hard to say whether he can handle them.

Cao Muan: Let’s not talk about whether it will explode or not. You will be beaten up first. And you even brought a female star home. Do you think my brother Shen is a decoration?

Xu Qingye: What's wrong with me inviting them home to play mahjong? Can't I meet my friends as usual?

Xu Qingye sent an innocent emoticon. He was fishing and he didn't really want to do anything else. Shen was indeed not such a stingy person.

Yi He: There’s no need to get involved. Don’t you want to expose too much of your private life? What if your photo is posted on the hot search?

Yi He disagreed. Xu Qingye's background was somewhat sensitive. What if something was really revealed? Besides, there was no need to get overly entangled with such a person.

Cao Muan: I support it. Just put a sack on him and beat him up. No matter where you are, I will come to follow you. We will meet each other sooner or later. I will beat him down!

Cao Muan sent a strong emoticon package, some people are unreasonable, and there is no need to reason with them.

Xu Qingye: [Positioning] Come on, but I’m not sure if they followed me. I just felt it was a bit of a coincidence. I was photographed when I went to Xu Hong’s crew, and I was photographed again when I went to Shen Que’s crew. How could it be such a coincidence?

Cao Muan: Coming right up!

Cao Muan stood up excitedly in the office and was about to rush out, but Yi He quickly stopped her.

"You're really going to charge alone? Let's go together. I'll cover you."

"Thank you, brother. But if there really is someone following us, would it be illegal for us to arrest him?" After being a little impulsive, Cao Muan calmed down a little. Conflicts often break out between paparazzi and celebrities, and the boundaries of some things are actually very vague.

"We just invited him to have tea and chat, why did you arrest him? It's just a discussion between colleagues," Yi He showed a sinister smile, and Cao Muan immediately understood that they were just enthusiastically inviting a colleague to come to the company for a visit.

Xu Qingye was very leisurely. He looked here and there, and bought whatever he liked without even looking at the price. In a short while, he had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Xu Qingye chose the most luxurious commercial plaza in City A. Since it was a weekday, there weren't many people there, but there were quite a few too. Xu Qingye had been paying attention to whether anyone was following him, and he seemed to have noticed.

Xu Qingye: I think I found him. I'm going to the toilet now. You guys follow me.

Brother Huang had sent him a photo of Brother Hammer, so Xu Qingye was basically sure. As for how Brother Hammer knew who he belonged to, he would have to ask him back.

Xu Qingye walked into the restroom. The restroom in the shopping mall was very large and luxurious, and it took a minute to walk in.

The other party would most likely not follow him into a relatively private place like the toilet. Xu Qingye planned to stay inside for a while and wait for the other party to get anxious. If he got anxious, he would show up, and things would become simple if he showed up.

The restrooms in luxury shopping malls all smelled fragrant. Xu Qingye sat inside playing with his phone, feeling like he was a bit perverted.

Xu Qingye: It's a pity that I spent such a good time sitting on the toilet. Later on, I will blame that hammer brother for this. I also make millions every minute.

Yi He: It’s over. You have hundreds of thousands and you died, but I only have millions.

Cao Muan: Just twenty bucks from me, right? I hate you guys!!!

The three people were chatting idly in the group. About fifteen minutes later, Yi He and Cao Muan saw someone going to the restroom stealthily. They took a look at the photo sent by Xu Qingye, roughly identified the target, and said something to Xu Qingye. The two of them immediately stepped forward and grabbed the person from the left and right.

Although Cao Muan was a girl, she had great strength due to years of boxing training. She grabbed her opponent so tightly that he had no power to fight back.

"Who are you and what do you want?"

"We are in the same business, don't you know that?"

Brother Hammer was a little scared. Just as he was about to fight Xu Qingye, he came out of the toilet. When he saw Xu Qingye, he calmed down a little.

"It's you, what do you want to do?"

"This is what I wanted to ask you. You've been following me for quite a while, right? Have you taken any interesting photos?"

Xu Qingye patted his shoulder and reached out to grab his camera. Brother Hammer remembered it immediately, but unfortunately his hands were held by two people and he couldn't struggle at all.

"Cooperate with us and follow us, or I'll smash your camera and soak the memory card in water."

Colleagues know best how to threaten each other. At this moment, Brother Hammer has no ability to fight back and can only obey.

After stuffing the man into the car, Xu Qingye took off his tie and tied up Hammer Brother's hands. He learned this skill from Shen Que, but he didn't expect to use it so soon.

“You are breaking the law.”

Brother Hammer sat in the back seat in humiliation. They were going too far.

"If we're talking about breaking the law, we're both equally guilty. Just call the police and we can go in together."

Xu Qingye tapped him on the head. Following, secretly taking photos, spreading rumors, any one of these would be enough to make him drink a pot of wine.

Brother Hammer couldn't beat Xu Qingye and lowered his head silently.

After bringing the person back to the studio, Xu Qingye locked the door and started a friendly exchange with his colleagues.
