When Ye Zexi received Wei Lifei's call, it was already midnight. He had just finished today's training and was on his way back to his room.
Wei Lifei's voice trembled slightly on the phone: "Ye Zexi!"
Ye Zexi paused and asked in confusion: "What's the matter?"
Wei Lifei's tone suddenly rose: "You are on the hot search again!"
Ye Zexi was shocked: "What? Why am I on the hot search again?"
"I just sent it to you on WeChat, go and see!" Wei Lifei's voice was very excited.
Ye Zexi quickly clicked on WeChat, and saw a long link sent by Wei Lifei.
He clicked on the link. This was a post on a well-known anonymous forum in China.
The title was very eye-catching---"Take a look at the rich second generation in the hot variety show these past two days."
"Squat."
"A variety show that has been popular in the past two days, blindly guessing a certain talent team?"
"It seems to be it, frankly speaking the boy group audition in this program seems to look better than the others. At least their appearance and singing are good!"
"Rich second generation? Do you mean Tang Jing or Cui Yi?"
"Where is the original poster?"
The thread on the post got to the fifty-fifth one, and they didn't see the original poster. All the replies on the post were urging the host.
Original Poster: "Don't urge me, I'm here."
Original Poster: "Cui Yi? Tang Jing? Excuse me, if it were not for this boy group audition, it is estimated that Cui Yi would not have gotten into their circle."
Many people waited impatiently: "Original poster, stop with the suspension."
"Hurry up!"
Original Poster: "Let me just say that. You can directly check the top wealthy family list just got released this year. The third place is this person's father. All the venues recorded in "Time Idol" this time, including the villa where the contestants are staying at, are all his family's private property."
Original Poster: "Before we were all speculating about why this man would participate in the audition. I only learned a few days ago that he was there to chase someone."
As soon as the words "to chase someone" were mentioned, the onlookers decoded it instantly.
"Fuck! Ye Zexi?!"
"Is his family that rich?!"
"I just searched for the photo of the third place on the wealthy list. Not like they are a bit similar, it can only be said that they are like being carved out of the same mold!"
"It's really him!"
"Ye Zexi's family is so rich!"
"So Ye Zexi's phrase of eating a rich second-generation meal in the show is really not a joke!"
Original Poster: "What are you kidding? With the Ye family assets, even if Ye Zexi does not invest into anything, it will be enough for him to spend several lifetimes."
"Shocked.jpg."
The rich second generation topic was really eye-catching, even higher than Ye Zexi's first topic in the first performance. In less than half an hour, the post was a hot topic.
Marketing accounts liked it when
there was a lot of hot search, and when they saw the post, they directly took the screenshots and uploaded them to Weibo.
The popularity of the forum had reached Weibo, and more and more netizens were participating in the discussion.
"I have been following this gossip since the start of the night, I just want to say that there are really not many people who are so rich and work hard! Ye Zexi makes me feel proud to be his fan! I'll take the first row seat!"
"Upper thread, did you make a mistake? Ye Zexi actually participated in the audition to chase Tang Jing. As a result, he hasn't succeeded in courting, but becomes popular!"
"Hahahahaha, what a blunder! Ye Zexi indeed has great talent, and I love it."
The volume of discussion was getting bigger and bigger, and some fans even created some emoji image for this——
Emoji image one:
Q: Why did you participate in the "Talent Show".
Other trainees: To chase after my dream.
Ye Zexi: To chase someone.
The second emoji image was even more straightforward. Netizens directly used Ye Zexi's edited screen to make a GIF animation with the word "Rich Second Generation's Meal". The next frame was the expression of Shan Zeyu being flat.
"Hahahahaha who made this gif! I just laughed to death! Asking for the original source!"
"Damn, chasing someone!"
"Your picture is good, but
unfortunately it was yours in the last second, and mine in the next second!"
...
By the time Ye Zexi received a call from Wei Lifei, Ye Zexi's name had been on the hot search all night.
Its ranking was still very high, and the hot search tag was also very funny #Ye Zexi really eats rich second-generation meal#
Ye Zexi's brows frowned upon seeing this: "Can't this hot search be removed?"
Wei Lifei was taken aback when he heard this: "Remove, why?"
Repeatedly staying on hot search means he has popularity, which is not in line with Ye Zexi's original intention.
Ye Zexi: "I don't want to be on the hot search."
Wei Lifei understood: "Haiz, there is nothing wrong with hot search, this just means you are really popular. My dad saw it today, and he praised you in front of me."
Of course, I got scolded by him at the same time.
Said Ye Zexi now knows what the right thing to do for his life is, why I still do not know how to improve myself every day.
Wei Lifei let those words go in his left ear and out to his right ear, completely not taking his father's words to heart.
Ye Zexi sighed, he really didn't want to get popular at all!
But the matter of whether being popular or not, it really is not something Ye Zexi can decide on his own.
The next morning---The Ye Group Headquarters Building
For the diligent social animals, every Monday was the beginning of their pain.
So at this time, the atmosphere in the company was always particularly sluggish.
But today, from the moment Ye Jianbin stepped into the company, he noticed a slight difference compared to before.
Ye Jianbin was very puzzled, but due to his status in the company, it was difficult for him to ask around.
It was during lunch break, when he got up to go out for lunch, he just stepped out of the office door when he heard a burst of laughter from outside the office—
"Hahahahahahahahaha this is making me laugh so hard, the young master even dared to say it!"
"Our young master is not talking nonsense, he is indeed eating the rich second-generation meal hahahaha."
"Qu Xiao is laughing like crazy hahaha, I can feel her trying to suppress her laugh."
"Not only Qu Xiao, but Film Emperor He is also laughing."
"Young Master, you are really telling the truth!"
Ye Jianbin raised his eyes and saw a group of employees surrounding a computer, not knowing whether they were watching a movie or a variety show.
A face appeared on the screen, and Ye Jianbin's eyes were questioning. Why did he feel that face was a bit familiar just now?
The secretary just came over at this moment and asked Ye Jianbin in a low voice: "Chairman, are we going to the previous restaurant?"
Noting that Ye Jianbin came out, the surrounding employees quietly turned down the volume.
Ye Jianbin nodded and took the lead in leaving the office.
Entering the elevator, Ye Jianbin was really puzzled, and couldn't help but ask a question: "Xiao Hu, what were they watching just now?"
Xiao Hu had been with Ye Jianbin for many years. He not only understood the affairs of the company, but he also knew that Ye Jianbin and Ye Zexi quarreled several times a month. Naturally, he knew that Ye Jianbin had frozen the young master's credit and debit cards when he got angry a few days ago.
After hearing this, Xiao Hu observed Ye Jianbin's face, and then said softly: "Chairman, you've been busy lately so you might not know about it. The talent show that the young master participated in is finally airing. Just now, they were watching the first episode during lunch break."
Ye Jianbin frowned slightly: "The show directed by Director Li?"
Xiao Hu nodded: "Yes, that's the one, it's called "Time Idol". The young master is doing very well in it, and everyone in the office is all proud of him."
Ye Jianbin did not speak.
Xiao Hu was the best at observing people, knowing that this is what the chairman means to continue.
"The young master is amazing. He took first place in the first performance. Last night, it was on hot search, and it still hasn't cooled down today. I just went and took a look. Even the young master's Weibo now has almost one million fans!"
Xiao Hu chose his words as he spoke vividly: "It seems that audiences and netizens like our young master very much. I plan to watch the livestream next time and vote for our young master. I guess that the young master might become really popular in the entertainment industry!"
The elevator door opened, and Ye Jianbin took the lead to go out, and snorted: "He is just fooling around. Don't I know that he is participating in the show to chase someone? Someone like him become popular?"
Xiao Hu quickly said: "Chairman, you might not know that the young master has already promised on the show that he will not chase that person anymore!
Ye Jianbin glanced at Xiao Hu: "Really?"
Xiao Hu quickly took out his phone, found the video that he saved in the morning, and handed it to Ye Jianbin.
The video was the clip where Ye Zexi apologized to Tang Jing in the show.
Ye Jianbin's frowning eyebrows loosened a little.
After the video was finished, Xiao Hu put away his phone: "I think the young master has made a decision this time to do a good job. In the morning I went to send the documents to Chairman Wei, and Chairman Wei was praising our young master to me."
Hearing this, Ye Jianbin showed some interest: "Really?"
Xiao Hu: "It's true! Chairman Wei also scolded young master Wei, saying that he should have sent young master Wei to the show. Speaking of this, young master Wei also voted for the young master this time. I also learned that Chairman Wei mobilized all the employees of the company to vote for our young master."
Ye Jianbin nodded and said nothing.
The driver opened the door, and Ye Jianbin took the lead to get in.
Xiao Hu sighed in his heart, opened the door of the passenger seat to sit in. While he was putting on the seat belt, Ye Jianbin's voice suddenly came from behind: "Since Chairman Wei's company has helped with the votes, it's embarrassing if our company does not help with the votes. You send out a notice to our company's employees to also help that bastard with the votes."
Xiao Hu was overjoyed, knowing that the chairman was calm, he quickly responded, "I will."
Ye Jianbin added: "We don't let the employees help in vain. Every employee who helps to vote will have a bonus of five hundred at the end of the month. Send out the notice to everyone
in the building, and the same with our branches."
The smile at the corner of Xiao Hu's mouth grew wider: "Okay! I think everyone is definitely willing to vote for the young master."
Ye Jianbin responded lightly, as if he didn't care at all.
Xiao Hu asked again: "Should I send the video of the young master's competition to you later?"
Ye Jianbin snorted coldly, and said nonchalantly: "What's so good about that brat? I've seen him since he was young until now."
The man's legs crossed each other, but the one leg on top was shaking from time to time, seeming to be a little impatient and anxious.
Xiao Hu watched this with an understanding, and decided to send
the videos to the chairman now!
Yet, the chairman still said he doesn't want to see it.
Aiyo, this man, such a duplicitous man!
Compared with Ye Jianbin's duplicity, Xiao Hu was cheering for Ye Zexi from the bottom of his heart. His sixth sense told him that their young master is really going to be popular this time!
