Chapter 32 We're all dogs
He ran a few steps and then ran back, grabbed Tu Yao, and pulled her along as they ran.
The gate slammed shut, and the courtyard fell silent instantly.
The director scratched his head, unable to come up with a way to smooth things over.
The paparazzi stepped forward: "Um... um... oh, I heard that Mingzhou and Yanyang also participated in 'Trainee' two years ago, and even collaborated with Teacher Tu on a qualifying stage, so they should know each other, right..."
Mingzhou suddenly sneered, "I do know him."
The next second, they stormed toward the tightly closed door.
director:……
Inside the house, the brother and sister were both on high alert.
Tu Yao covered her head and asked him, "Brother, why are you running?"
Tu Chaoxi wiped the cold sweat from her forehead. "It's a ghost."
Why are they here?!
Then he turned and asked, "Why are you shaking?"
Tu Yao looked weak. "I saw a ghost too."
Under the clear blue sky, she did nothing, and her brother seemed to have done nothing either, yet the progress bar just kept dropping.
No! Tu Yao's eyes sharpened instantly; it must be her brother who did something!
Sure enough, a chilling voice, as if it were a death knell, came from outside the door.
"Tu Chaoxi, come out!"
Tu Chaoxi's forehead, which he had just wiped clean, started to break out in a cold sweat again. After a second's pause, he decisively covered his ears and pretended to be dead.
Tu Yao: ...
Tu Yao skillfully took out his phone, opened the trending topics, paused for a second, and then covered her ears and pretended to be dead.
On the trending search list, the third charge that the heiress of Hong Kong accused Tu Chaoxi of has surfaced out of nowhere.
—A snob who betrays old friends and does great harm.
Buy one get one free, there's one more at the bottom.
—A suspected old friend of Tu Chaoxi makes a surprise appearance on the show
If nothing unexpected happens, those two suspected individuals are right outside the door.
Tu Chaoxi, who was squatting next to her, was a snobbish person.
As for her applying mascot paint, damn it, she's a pure victim!
Seeing that the gate remained tightly closed, the staff exchanged glances, finally realizing something was amiss. They took out their phones and saw that a group of netizens had already flooded into the live stream to watch the spectacle.
[This time I didn't wrong him, did I?]
Judging from his guilty look, it's true. He gave Gu Feihong a sour look last time, and now he doesn't dare to show his face.
[I never would have guessed, Teacher Tu! Before his debut, he had arranged to form a band and sign with the same company, but after debuting, he went off to find a better deal, which caused the other person to miss out on signing. Two years later, he's still a solo artist. He's really done a lot of harm.]
[As a result, you also signed a contract to sell yourself into servitude, Teacher Tu, creating a dramatic effect to the fullest.]
The screen was filled with sarcastic comments, and the director fell silent. First it was Gu Feihong, then this duo. As long as Tu Chaoxi had many crimes, everyone from all over the world would be his enemy. His shows were always dramatic and nerve-wracking.
Regardless, the show still had to be filmed, so the director tried to lighten the mood.
"Well, Teacher Tu, since we know each other, let's have a welcome dinner together tonight."
After a while, his resolute refusal came from inside the door: "...I'm not eating, my legs hurt tonight!"
director:……
"What about the younger sister?"
A plaintive voice followed: "I won't eat either, my head hurts tonight."
Everyone: ...
The director subtly suggested, "Little sister, you don't have to feel pain."
Tu Yao clutched her head: "It really hurts."
The director was also in a bind, but in his struggle, he managed to pull himself together.
"No! All of you, go!"
...
That evening, the same round table was used to entertain Gu Feihong, and the same dishes were served to him.
Ma Zhiyuan, a radar that can accurately scan back and forth in the black material area of Tu Chaoxi.
After his previous failure in selling meat, he felt he could do it again.
After glancing around, Wen Yu, as usual, remained silent and invisible.
Jiang Ye wasn't there. He heard that his junior was graduating next year and was preparing his graduation project, so he went to listen in on his behalf.
Meanwhile, the live streaming equipment suddenly malfunctioned, and the director and staff were still repairing it.
As for Tu Chaoxi and Tu Yao, they both buried themselves in their food.
A wave of guilt washed over me.
Ma Zhiyuan smugly withdrew his gaze and raised his wine glass with a clear purpose towards Mingzhou, whose expression was obviously unfriendly.
"Yan Yang, Ming Zhou, right? I heard that you two were involved in..."
He glanced at Tu Chaoxi intentionally and continued, "Because that contract didn't go through, they formed an underground band afterwards. By the way, what's the band called?"
Mingzhou, with his naturally dark and world-weary face, immediately crossed his arms and snorted, "There's nothing to say. It's a third-rate, independent band that disbanded a long time ago."
"Unlike Teacher Tu, whose career has been on a meteoric rise."
The strange, sarcastic atmosphere that hit her head made Tu Chaoxi's hand holding chopsticks tremble, and a piece of meat fell off.
The atmosphere froze instantly.
Ma Zhiyuan almost wanted to burst out laughing. It had been almost two weeks, and this was the first time he had felt so good!
It's truly a miracle that someone can finally tame this scourge!
Next to Tu Chaoxi, Tu Yao finally finished eating the rice in her bowl. As if unaware of Tu Chaoxi's unusual behavior, she turned around and picked up the piece of meat that he had dropped and chewed it.
She nudged him again: "Disbanded? Didn't they perform at a bar last month?"
Mingzhou & Yanyang: ?
Ma Zhiyuan ignored Tu Yao's words and continued to stir things up: "Being a sole proprietor is good, the advantage is freedom. So what songs have you released?"
Mingzhou snapped out of his daze and frowned: "No, I'm not as talented as Teacher Tu, nor do I have as many advantages as Teacher Tu."
Tu Chaoxi's hand trembled again, and this time she dropped a broccoli.
Tu Yao picked up the broccoli again, smelled it, and threw it back into Tu Chaoxi's bowl.
Keep poking at him: "New song? Didn't you release three this year?"
Mingzhou & Yanyang: ?
Tu Chaoxi looked a little embarrassed: "What new song? I don't know."
Tu Yao looked incredulous: "How could you not know? Didn't you collect it? I just listened to it on your phone."
Yan Yang opened his mouth, his voice slightly hoarse: "You... collected our song?"
Tu Chaoxi was visibly uncomfortable, gripping her chopsticks without saying a word.
Ma Zhiyuan noticed that the atmosphere was easing and quickly interrupted, "Tu Xiaomao, what are you muttering about again!"
Tu Yao ignored him and nodded: "I've saved it. It's been played 136 times."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mingzhou's face darkened, and he immediately stood up:
"Why would you listen to our songs? Don't you have any songs of your own?!"
The atmosphere instantly became completely frozen again.
Tu Yao, seemingly oblivious, pondered for a moment, and after a few seconds, sighed sincerely:
"Then he doesn't have it."
Mingzhou: ...
Tu Chaoxi: ...
That's absolutely right. In the two years since his debut, apart from the show with Gu Feihong, he has never had the opportunity to release any original works.
The company was busy extracting value from him as quickly as possible, so most of his songs and dances were assembly-line style, and it was very difficult for him to even squeeze in some of his own ideas.
During the day, Tu Yao talked about her dreams.
He admitted that although he entered the entertainment industry to make money as quickly as possible, he did have that dream during that short period of time.
With those like-minded friends.
But in the end, in order to make money as quickly as possible, he lost his dream.
Tu Chaoxi couldn't help but look up at the opposite side... and she had also lost her friend.
Meeting his gaze, Mingzhou's tone became even more annoyed:
"You only listen to us after we've given our permission, and you're not allowed to listen to us again!"
Surprisingly, Tu Chaoxi scoffed this time, "...Why can't I listen?"
"This is our song, what does it have to do with you?"
"I'll listen to it, but you've already posted it and now nobody else can listen?"
Mingzhou laughed in exasperation: "I'll hang up a sign saying 'Tu Chaoxi and the dog are not allowed to listen' right now!"
Tu Chaoxi laughed in exasperation, "Mingzhou, it's been two years, and you still have the same bad temper."
You're the dog!
You're a dog!
They all turned their heads and yelled at Yan Yang, who was trying to interrupt, "You're a dog too!"
Startled, Tu Yao quickly tried to mediate: "Alright, alright, listen to me, we're all dogs!"
Everyone: ...
The topic trended on social media for a whole day, and netizens spent the entire night speculating about how Tu Chaoxi would end up arguing with her former friends.
After failing with the first two smear campaigns, the haters are now gearing up for another big attack.
But just before the broadcast started, the equipment malfunctioned, and after waiting for more than half an hour, everyone was getting impatient.
After finally getting the show started, this is what we get.
[No, I've been waiting since I got off work, and this is what you guys are arguing about?]
