Chapter 378 Someone's Always Trying to Expose the Big Shot's Identity [2 Updates]
There were cameras everywhere, and the sound of flashes was constant.
"I don't know!" Ye Xi's nerves, which had been on edge for days, finally snapped. She screamed in despair, "I don't know anything!"
She frantically snatched a camera from one of the reporters, smashed it on the ground, and then rushed out of the crowd without looking back.
The crowd erupted in uproar.
Chen Li's face was more pale than ever before.
This matter can be easily suppressed with any excuse and then forgotten.
Evidence is not hard to fake, is it?
As long as you can fool your fans, that's enough. Most netizens don't care about things in the entertainment industry at all.
But Ye Xi's actions, his loss of composure in public, have only tarnished his own reputation.
Chen Li gritted her teeth, her mood at its worst: "Excuse me, please make way."
Ye Xi had already run away, so the reporters and paparazzi naturally wouldn't chase after Chen Li and made way for her.
Chen Li walked in the cold wind, her teeth chattering.
All she knew was that this time, Ye Xi was probably really going to fall from her pedestal.

Three days later, Nie Chao woke up.
It was the day before Lunar New Year's Eve.
After he woke up, he stared blankly at one spot.
Grandpa Nie personally went to the kitchen to make soup for him, while only Nie Yi was in the bedroom.
Around the New Year, the Yizi team is even busier.
But for Nie Yi, nothing is more important than his family.
"You've been staring at that Barbie doll you bought when you were little for three hours straight," Nie Yi broke the silence. "What are you thinking about?"
“I’m too weak.” Nie Chao hung his head, looking dejected. “If I were as strong as you, brother, I wouldn’t have let those people succeed.”
Upon hearing this, Nie Yi fell silent for a long while before saying, "I wish you weren't so capable that you wouldn't know these things."
Once secular families become involved with the ancient martial arts world, they will inevitably be drawn into disputes.
Ancient martial arts practitioners are ruthless and often take their anger out on the weak.
Therefore, whether it's the Nie family or the Mu family, only the patriarch knows that the ancient martial arts world still exists in China.
“Sigh.” Nie Chao said sadly, “So my worldview has collapsed.”
He never imagined that there really were people in this world who could fly over rooftops and perform acupressure from a distance.
The ancient martial arts practitioners he knew were simply those with very high combat power.
Who knew that after listening to Grandpa Nie talk about the world of ancient martial arts, he would discover that the most powerful ancient martial artists were actually invulnerable to swords and spears.
Bullets couldn't penetrate their defenses.
"Hmm." Nie Yi said calmly, "It will collapse even more in the future."
"..." Nie Chao felt even more heartbroken. He tentatively asked, "So, my brother, can you teach me how to practice?"
Upon hearing this, Nie Yi raised his hand, grabbed his wrist, and examined it with his internal energy. His expression changed slightly.
He was certain that Nie Chao did not have the talent to cultivate ancient martial arts before.
The talent for ancient martial arts is a mysterious thing.
None of Nie's ancestors were ancient martial arts practitioners, but he had a great talent for ancient martial arts.
Nie Chao is now able to cultivate ancient martial arts, which proves that it was the medicine given to him by Ying Zijin that helped him.
Nie Yi released his grip, his voice low: "I owe you a huge favor."
Nie Chao scratched his head: "What?"
“Once you’re fully recovered, you’ll come to training with me every night.” Nie Yi stood up. “I’ll talk to Grandpa and ask him to approve a two-month leave for you. You’ll be going to the Seventh Special Zone for these two months.”
Nie Chao was dumbfounded: "Holy crap?"
Despite all his calculations, he still couldn't escape the Seventh Special District.
"I'll go prepare your training materials." Nie Yi's tone left no room for argument. "Yun Shen and Miss Ying are here to see you, so please tidy yourself up."
After Nie Yi left, Fu Yunshen came in.
Nie Chao looked behind him: "Where's the big boss?"
"Your grandpa is learning how to bake cupcakes from Yaoyao, and then he'll make them for you."
"..."
"Brother, I've made up my mind, I'm going to pull off something big!" Nie Chao suddenly got excited. "Is the big boss almost an adult?"
Fu Yunshen paused, turned his head, and asked with a half-smile, "What do you want to do?"
"No, no, no, Seventh Young Master, you've misunderstood me." Nie Chao clutched his chest, breaking out in a cold sweat. "I would never dare to have feelings for the big boss. Even if you gave me a hundred lives, I wouldn't dare."
Fu Yunshen draped his arm over the back of the chair, looking languid, and the smile on his lips widened: "Yeah, of course you wouldn't dare. You knelt down on one knee the first time you met her, a special proposal pose."
Nie Chao was immediately speechless: "Have some shame! I was scared at the time. What marriage proposal? You were the one who said it yourself. How dare you blame me?"
Fu Yunshen slowly raised his eyelashes: "So what are you planning to do?"
"I'll help you win over the big shot!" Nie Chao was even more excited. "We absolutely have to make sure the big shot's coming-of-age ceremony is a grand affair."
"Yes." Fu Yunshen nodded. "Preparations have already begun."
“Then, you’ll confess your love to her in front of everyone,” Nie Chao slapped his thigh. “Set out candles and a heart-shaped cake.”
Fu Yunshen paused for a moment: "You're so unsophisticated."
Nie Chao was about to continue speaking when he suddenly let out a scream.
Fu Yunshen narrowed his peach blossom eyes slightly: "What's going on?"
"I accidentally twisted my bones again."
"..."

These days, there is still a lot of discussion online about "Youth 202".
Ying Zijin gained a large number of fans.
Fans have sharp eyes and can't tolerate other people smearing Ying Zijin. They quickly dug up a series of timelines and marketing evidence from Ye Xi's team.
Ye Xi has been criticized online ever since.
Tianxing Entertainment's public relations department was also in a complete mess, but there was nothing they could do.
For the past three days, Ye Xi has not dared to go out at all, and has been hiding in the apartment assigned by the company, drinking heavily.
She also read the comments online, and the more she read, the more distraught she became.
She enjoyed top-tier treatment for only a little over six months.
The difference between being a viral sensation and being ridiculed online is something Ye Xi finds unacceptable.
There was a knock on the door at that moment.
"Ye Xi, open the door quickly." It was Chen Li outside the door. "What's the use of you hiding? You still have a large fan base. Even if you're not a top star anymore, you're still a first-tier star."
Chen Li was very anxious because Ye Xi was her only support.
If Ye Xi is completely ruined, she will also be kicked out of Tianxing Entertainment.
It took quite a while for the door to open.
Chen Li almost didn't recognize that the disheveled woman in front of her was Ye Xi.
She was even angrier: "Look at yourself! If the paparazzi took pictures of you like this, what would they say online?"
"Just say what you have to say." Ye Xi said calmly. "Anyway, they all seem to want me to be in trouble."
"Stop drinking, let's discuss a solution together." Chen Li said with exasperation, "This isn't some major scandal like cheating or domestic violence, cheer up."
"I've figured it out," Ye Xi said. "My reputation is ruined, so I'll ruin Ying Zijin too. I'll drag her down with me no matter what."
"Do you think I don't want to?" Chen Li said, holding her breath. "Ying Zijin is a top student and has the protection of the TV station."
"And those fans who criticize her are indeed big names in your fan community, and they've generated a lot of data for you."
"Of course I do." Ye Xi smiled and tossed out a few photos. "Take a look."
"What?" Chen Li frowned, took the paper, and her pupils contracted several times. "This is..."
She knew both people in the photo.
It is Ying Zijin and Shang Yaozhi.
As the two walked from indoors to outdoors, Shang Yaozhi held her hand protectively to prevent Ying Zijin from bumping into something.
It wasn't a particularly intimate gesture, but for Shang Yaozhi, it was nothing.
Because Shang Yaozhi has been in the industry for so long and has zero scandals.
Even though Xingchen Entertainment forced Shang Yaozhi to create a CP (couple pairing) with Ye Xi, there isn't a single photo of Shang Yaozhi and Ye Xi together in private.
He kept a great distance from other women and had never been in such close contact with them before.
Chen Li had an unrealistic guess in her mind: "Could Ying Zijing be his secret girlfriend?"
Otherwise, given Shang Yaozhi's status, would he be so cautious around a woman?
"So, the guy fans adore is so good to other women." Ye Xi laughed again, unscrewing a bottle of beer. "Sister Li, do you think Shang Yaozhi's fans will tear her apart?"
Chen Li hesitated for a moment: "Even if this is published, Shang Yaozhi can clarify it, and nothing will happen."
“But there are still some people who won’t believe it, and that’s enough.” Ye Xi looked up. “And Sister Li, do you have any other ideas?”
Chen Li shook her head, feeling very annoyed.
"Regardless, I've already handed these photos over to the media." Ye Xi sneered. "Sister Li, just wait and see, we'll see how it goes."
She paused for a moment, then added, "Besides, Ying Zijing is still a high school student. If she's in a relationship too early, it will have an impact on the school."
Chen Li pressed her temples: "Then let's do it this way. Let's ignore Shang Yaozhi for now. At least your CP fans will tear her apart."
This is their last chance.
So, that very evening, thanks to Chen Li and Ye Xi's efforts, a trending topic immediately climbed to the top spot.
#Shang Yaozhi, His Secret Girlfriend#
Tomorrow, more scumbag abuse will continue =w=
