One of the more impatient members frowned and spoke up: "But you did something wrong, no one forced you. You have to take responsibility for your mistakes, isn't that the logic of adult life? Why are you acting like you hate us?"
Xie Yun'an laughed: "Back then, Kang Lele was going to act in a TV series and asked me to rehearse with her. You all know perfectly well how that video was filmed. Pretending to be ignorant now is really pointless."
Kang Lele smiled and said, "Okay, bro, it's not that we don't want to have a proper talk with you, but your recording equipment has been on the whole time, we've all seen it. How can we talk like this? Your career is ruined, are you going to make us sacrifice ourselves with you?"
"We call you brother because we all respect you, but if you really want to drag us down to hell, that would be too unfair to us."
Xie Yun'an's expression suddenly changed.
He immediately reached into his pocket, and by the time he realized it, he knew he had been exposed.
Kang Lele's face revealed a triumphant smile: "Throw away the recording equipment, and let's have a good talk. Our agent told us that although you made a mistake and were kicked out of the entertainment industry, we've all been together for so long, and there are still feelings between us."
“The three of us begged the company to find you a job. You can play a role in a TV series that the company is producing. Maybe if the role becomes popular, you'll become popular too.”
This offer is tempting enough.
If Xie Yun'an were still that penniless and frustrated person, he would have grasped at the opportunity to appear in a TV series as if it were a lifeline.
Even if he guessed that there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, when you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel, your bottom line will always be unconsciously lowered.
Xie Yun'an asked with a hint of hesitation, "Are you telling the truth or lying?"
The three men exchanged glances and smiled in unison; the fish had taken the bait.
Kang Lele opened her phone, brought up her photo album, and showed Xie Yun'an a contract.
"The agent has already sent us the contract. If you agree to our terms, we will definitely treat you well."
Xie Yun'an took his phone with some skepticism, looked at it several times, and then, barely suppressing his excitement, asked, "...What are your conditions?"
Seeing him so easily compromise for a role that would last less than three minutes, all three of them had similar emotions in their eyes.
That emotion was a mixture of smugness, arrogance, and malice.
Back then, Xie Yun'an was so arrogant and at the height of his fame. Three-quarters of the group's fans were his, and the remaining quarter included group fans. Their individual fans were pitifully few.
When he collapsed, they were happier than anyone else.
The entertainment industry is a place of fame and fortune, where things change so quickly. Xie Yun'an got himself taken down for blocking someone else's path, so he deserved it.
Big fish eat small fish, and they can also eat some shrimp. Everyone benefits and leaves with a full load. What's wrong with that?
"We need to keep our conversation confidential. Take out your recording equipment and turn it off first, otherwise we really can't talk. You know, there are too many details that artists need to be careful about."
Kang Lele's face showed her embarrassment.
Xie Yun'an thought for a while and finally took out the recording device from his pocket. Before he could say anything, Kang Lele snatched it, stepped on it, and smashed it.
"I'm so sorry, bro, we were really scared. You were a big star before, being chased by paparazzi must have been so painful."
