Chu Yilin hadn't cared about those things before, and besides, in the entertainment industry, titles are usually based on status.
Some younger celebrities in the entertainment industry are called "teacher" and given various honorific titles, while Chu Yilin's reputation has recently suffered, and he has hardly had any work.
However, Chu Yilin is, after all, a movie star, so it's not wrong for Xue Wei to call him "brother".
Xue Wei never expected that Chu Yilin would be so disrespectful to him, especially since it was being broadcast live!
Despite his inner shock, Xue Wei still smiled and said modestly, "Although I'm two years older than you, I can't compare to your status in the entertainment industry. You're a movie star now!"
“Then you can call me Teacher Chu, just like you call Teacher Sheng!” Chu Yilin seized the opportunity, grinning to reveal a row of white teeth, and said with a smile, “After all, our relationship isn’t close enough for me to call you brother!”
Xue Wei almost lost his smile, cursing Chu Yilin in his heart, but still wore a helpless expression on his face, "Alright, then I'll still call you Teacher Chu!"
Chu Yilin smiled, still speaking with a hint of teasing, "That's right. Don't call me 'brother' so casually in the future, or people will misunderstand. After all, our relationship is just that!"
Director Sheng gave Chu Yilin and Xue Wei a meaningful look, then turned away from them.
Although he didn't know what happened between them, he could tell that Chu Yilin disliked Xue Wei quite a bit. Whether he genuinely looked down on him or had other reasons was unknown.
However, after the initial negotiations, Director Sheng felt that Chu Yilin was more reliable than Xue Wei.
As a director, one can best tell who's acting. Xue Wei clearly had a bit of a fawning attitude when he was talking to him, but Chu Yilin didn't.
Even though he knew that Chu Yilin hadn't had much work lately, Director Sheng couldn't tell that Chu Yilin had any feelings for him, let alone try to curry favor with him.
However, this is a matter between the two of them, and he, as an outsider, shouldn't interfere, as long as it doesn't involve him.
When the fans in the live stream saw this, the screen became lively, especially Xue Wei's fans.
"What exactly happened with Chu Yilin? Why is he treating our brother like this!"
"Just because you're a movie star doesn't mean you can bully our brother like that!"
"Tch, how is that bullying? Our brother already said that their relationship isn't close enough for them to call each other 'brother'!"
"That's right, just a regular title is fine! Calling him 'teacher' is something Xue Wei himself requested, it's perfectly normal!"
"It's obvious that some people have become arrogant and look down on our brother after becoming movie stars!"
"So what if they look down on us! We all debuted from the same talent show, and our brother is already a movie star!"
"That's right, I look down on you guys. Who told your idol to still be just a popular singer? Without popularity, he's just trash!"
"You guys are the real trash! Your movie stars' TV dramas and movies haven't even been released yet! You're not even as good as our brother!"
The fans of Xue Wei and Chu Yilin immediately started arguing in the live stream, blaming each other, and the entire screen was filled with the two sides' fans tearing each other apart.
However, none of the people in the lounge knew this.
To ease the awkwardness, Xue Wei beckoned to his nephew, "Pingping, come here!"
Then, introducing them to Director Sheng and Chu Yilin, "This is my eldest brother's son, Xue Qingping, nicknamed Pingping! Pingping, call him Uncle! This is Uncle Sheng, and Uncle Chu!"
Xue Qingping was not as polite as expected. He looked at Director Sheng and Chu Yilin with a scrutinizing gaze, and then looked at the two little ones, An'an and Tangbao.
Xue Wei never expected his nephew to be so disrespectful, and a blush immediately appeared on his handsome face, all from anger.
Considering the presence of a cameraman filming, Xue Wei suppressed his anger and shoved Pingping in the back, sternly ordering, "Pingping, your uncle is talking to you. Greet him!"
Pingping wasn't afraid of Xue Wei at all. She turned around and glared at her uncle, "I won't call him that. If you dare to bully me, I'll tell Grandpa and Grandma when I get home!"
Just by looking at Pingping's demeanor, you can tell that this little rascal is a little tyrant at home.
Haha, tell Grandpa and Grandma, he's another spoiled child, probably even his parents can't control him.
Chu Yilin glanced at Xue Wei with schadenfreude. With such a spoiled little tyrant around, Xue Wei probably won't have an easy time on the variety show!
Hmm, that's good, it's just the right time for him and Tangbao to make their move.
"Oh dear, he's just a kid, let him do whatever he wants, don't be too strict!" Chu Yilin advised with good intentions. "Children still need to be carefully taught, you can take this opportunity to educate him properly!"
Xue Wei was already quite angry with his nephew, and now, after being lectured by Chu Yilin in such a sarcastic manner, his face turned ashen.
If it weren't for participating in this show, he wouldn't want to bring this little tyrant along. At home, no one can be rude to him, otherwise, he'll inevitably get a scolding from his parents.
This gave the little tyrant a lot of confidence, and at home he really acted like a crab, walking sideways.
Xue Wei took a deep breath, trying to calm his anger, and turned to apologize to Director Sheng and Chu Yilin, "I'm so sorry, my parents have spoiled the child!"
Director Sheng waved his hand understandingly, "It's alright, it's alright, he's just a kid, it's normal! My An'an is like that too!"
Feeling wrongly accused, An'an looked up and glared at Director Sheng, "Bad Daddy, don't accuse me like that! I would never do such a thing!"
Director Sheng's eye twitched violently, realizing things were going badly, and he quickly reassured her, "Yes, yes, you didn't!"
"Hmph!" An An arrogantly crossed her arms and turned her head away.
Xue Wei gave an awkward smile and quickly said to Pingping,
"Pingping, aren't you bored here all by yourself? Now that other children have come, you can play with your sister and the others!"
Tang Bao quickly waved her chubby little hands in protest, her chubby and cute face filled with panic. "No, no, it's not 'Sister Tang Bao'! If it's 'Uncle Second Brother,' then it's 'Aunt Tang Bao,' right? Tang Bao is still little and not ready to be an aunt yet!"
If Tangbao hadn't said anything, no one would have noticed that the way she was addressed was wrong.
If Xue Qingping calls Xue Wei "Uncle" and Chu Yilin "Uncle," it means that Tang Bao is a generation older than him!
Chu Yilin laughed and said nonchalantly, "It's alright, just call me Auntie. If you call me Brother, then Brother's generation will be a generation lower!"
