Nine o'clock in the evening.
The SD Entertainment building is brightly lit.
Chen Zhuang, who was only thirty years old, pushed the phone over with a calculating smile on his face.
He looked at the quiet and lonely boy across the desk with his eagle eyes.
"Xiao Yan, look at this. The announcement of your comeback just now has received over one million comments in less than an hour. Look, the public is still so enthusiastic about you. How could you bear to disappoint them?"
"I told you that you were born to do this."
"Look, I saved you from the dire situation back then, and now I'm in trouble, so you have to come back and help me, right?"
The young man raised his thin lips in a cold arc: "Why bother with the contract when you are saving someone from danger?"
Chen Zhuang's face suddenly turned grim.
Shi Yan refused to budge, and it seemed that there was no way they could reach an agreement on this matter.
He sneered: "Okay, since you don't want to drink the wine, why should I rush to persuade you? Young people don't understand things, so they always need to suffer a little!"
"Next week, you will go to that variety show and reflect on your mistakes."
"When you figure it out, remember to come back and beg me anytime. I'll be waiting for you."
After saying that, he took the phone back angrily. When he saw Shi Yan's name high on the trending search list, he smiled happily again.
The next second, the assistant outside the office pushed open the door and ran in hurriedly.
"Brother Zhuang, our trending search has been suppressed——"
Because of Shi Yan’s released movie and comeback announcement, his name was in the top ten of the trending searches.
But Chen Zhuang’s promotion is indispensable in order to make this topic the hottest one.
Shi Yan’s popularity is already very high, but his updates have been silent for almost a year, so Chen Zhuang spent a lot of money to buy out many big V marketing accounts in order to quickly boost traffic in a short period of time. Then, wouldn’t endorsements and scripts come to him like a flood?
This is a huge cash cow.
Shi Yan's popularity has been rising.
But just now, several topics were named——
#Sheng Yuan announced that she would join "Crazy Running"# #Sheng Yuan, the cancerous vase, is back# #Sheng Yuan owes Zhao Xiaoxiao an apology# The popularity rose rapidly up the list, and rushed to the top few, quickly surpassing Shi Yan.
Seeing that more than half of the seven-digit amount that had just been transferred from Chen Zhuang's account was about to be wasted, veins bulged on his forehead.
"Where the hell did this Sheng Yuan come from?" He had never heard of her before.
The assistant shook his head in fear and trepidation: "I don't know, Brother Zhuang."
In fact, Sheng Yuan's status among female celebrities in the circle is at most a 15th or 16th-tier star.
To put it bluntly, he is just a nobody.
The strange thing is that she has two million followers on her Weibo account.
Two million users, without exception, are all black fans.
And most importantly, she slapped Zhao Xiaoxiao, angering Zhao Xiaoxiao's fans.
"Fuck the sun! Why did I see this woman again?!"
"Sheng Yuan, I am your father! Kneel down and apologize to our Xiao Bao!"
"Sheng Yuan! Get out of the entertainment industry!"
"Wow! I've never seen such an arrogant female celebrity!"
"In the past, the first thing I did every day when I opened my eyes was to find Sheng Yuan's Weibo and say a simple "Fuck you!". I kept doing this for five months without slacking off for a single day. It actually made me feel like I was at work. Finally, she didn't make any news for two months. I thought she had retired and I took a vacation. But now she tells me that she's back. Damn it, I have to go to work again. In the end, I can only say, "Fuck you, Sheng Yuan."
Marketing accounts and some well-known media outlets will certainly not miss this opportunity to arouse public anger and increase popularity. They reposted the news one after another, and it spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred.
Sheng Yuan was directly scolded and became a hot topic.
Not only were Zhao Xiaoxiao's fans angry, the masses were angry, and even the audience of "Crazy Running" was angry.
"Liu Wei! Come out here and get beaten! What a crap guest you chose for the first episode of the second season!"
Liu Wei is the chief director of "Crazy Running".
"This woman can't carry anything on her shoulders or lift anything with her hands. Is she the one who delivers things to her father?"
"Don't wait until the first mission starts before this woman is made to cry! Will all of us cry and shed tears just by looking at her?"
"I really don't understand why she was chosen as a guest. She has no IQ and no physical strength."
"I'm sick of it. If the official announcement is not rescinded, I will definitely not watch it."
"Upstairs +1"
"Upstairs +2"
“…”
Chen Zhuang's assistant turned on the LCD TV, and on it was a screenshot of the comments under Sheng Yuan's Weibo.
Shi Yan, who was sitting on the chair, paused for a moment, and finally raised his eyelids to look over. His gaze only fell on the words "Sheng Yuan, get out of the entertainment industry" and then he retracted it immediately. There was no emotion in his dark pupils.
The boy's profile was cold and clean, with his brows slightly furrowed.
At this moment, the phone screen lit up, and a text message came from an unmarked number -
"Shi Yan, good night, sweet dreams."
A cute and sly emoticon was attached to the text.
It's totally unlike the emotion that should be felt when being overwhelmed by the abuse in the hot searches.
He didn't reply, but turned off his phone, stood up and left, his back looking tall and cold.
