Brother Dao Took the Entertainment Industry by Storm, Fans Beg Me Not to Kill Anymore

Chapter 581: Xiao He: ...Bro, don't you dare collapse on me!

"But doesn't Hanbei already have Ren Yibai?"Xiao He couldn't hold back anymore and slightly covered his mouth as he asked Yuan Sitong.

Ren Yibai's style was quite similar to Zhao Qinyuan's, so there would inevitably be competition over resources in the future. Not to mention there was still the top star above them who had just suffered a reputation collapse and was forced to downgrade his resources. Now that these two were together, they'd probably be glaring at each other with red eyes in no time.

"That, I wouldn't know."

Yuan Sitong shrugged. "At worst, they'll just have a fight. If Ren Yibai has any brains, he'll take advantage of Taidong leaking damaging information this time and might even jump in to curb Zhao Qinyuan's arrogance a bit. But it probably won't go too far."

Thanks to "Record of Chasing the Wind," Zhao Qinyuan had been explosively gaining fans recently because of the Liu Zhilin role, and he might end up becoming Ren Yibai's competitor down the line.

But those weren't things they needed to worry about.

Xiao He nodded thoughtfully.

"Hey hey, stop talking."

Li Haoxuan nudged Yuan Sitong with his elbow. "The camera's coming over."

Instantly, in the large screen off in the distance, Yuan Sitong and Xiao He, who had been covering their mouths and whispering, straightened up in their seats, looking as flustered as students caught talking in class by their teacher.

But the next second, Yuan Sitong snapped back to reality.

She was already covering her mouth while talking—did she really need to worry about the camera catching anything?

The camera was sweeping back and forth anyway; whoever it caught was whoever it caught. Their reaction right now actually seemed more suspicious.

So Yuan Sitong smiled slightly and nodded at the camera, while Xiao He raised his hand and waved in greeting.

Little did they know, the moment they had been huddled together whispering had already been faithfully recorded by the live stream camera behind them and broadcast into the live stream room.

[Haha, I'm dying of laughter. Sister Sitong and Brother Xiao remind me of my classmates whispering in class.]

[They're definitely gossiping! I guarantee it! I've seen that exact smile on Yuan Sitong's face on my bestie's face when she's sharing tea with me. And look at Li Haoxuan next to them—he can't hide his urge to eavesdrop on the gossip at all.]

[Seriously though, what tea are you guys spilling? You even covered your mouths tightly to make sure no one could lip-read you.]

[Right, right! What tea can us netizens not hear? Spill it out loud and let's all munch on melon seeds together.]

[Eh? No one suspects they're dating?]

[I don't buy those two. I'd never make that kind of sleazy grin in front of my partner. (Not saying Yuan Sitong isn't pretty, though.)]

[Don't turn everything into romance! Do you see any romantic sparks between them? Besides, this is a live event. If they were actually together, couldn't they just talk in bed when they get home?]

[Li Haoxuan: In this trio's story, I don't even deserve a name.]

[Li Haoxuan: They didn't include me in the chat, and you all aren't treating me like a human either.]

[Haha, you guys are killing me!]

[Holy crap! I think I know what they're talking about! They must be talking about the stuff on Weibo!]

[What? What? What? Whose tea is being spilled?]

[Oh my god, the New Year's Eve big tea law strikes again! Fam, I'm dipping out first. I'll come back to the stream after reading the tea thread.]

Instantly, the live stream viewership took a nosedive as droves of people left the stream and rushed straight to the big tea gathering spot.

At the event venue, Yuan Sitong, satisfied after sharing her gossip with Xiao He, was about to move to a new battlefield and chat with other acquaintances she knew.

But just as she was about to use her phone to ping an industry friend sitting in the adjacent section, she noticed Weibo notification pop-ups flashing continuously at the top of her screen.

And the content of those pop-ups made her eyes widen in shock. "What the hell? Has Taidong Entertainment lost its mind? What does this have to do with me?"

Xiao He turned his head to look at Yuan Sitong, whose expression was shifting unpredictably, and pulled out his own phone to check.

Soon, not just Xiao He and the others—all the actors sitting around them lowered their heads, completely abandoning the brilliant performance on stage to immerse themselves in browsing the internet for tea.

This scene was also faithfully broadcast by the live stream camera into the stream room, but by now there were hardly any bullet comments laughing along, because everyone inside and outside the stream was enthusiastically munching on melon seeds—

[Charge Conch: Who was it that insisted on shipping in the first place, only to deliberately play victim and dismantle the CP later, leading to the female side being harassed by anti-fans for years? Oh, it's @Zhao Qinyuan. Did your CP fans know that all the candy from their OTP was leeched by you? The actress you mooched off to ship with also has a hell of a good temper, staying calm even when chased down to be killed. [Screenshots]*9]

Netizens were a bit confused at first when they saw this announcement, not knowing what had happened and assuming it was just another marketing account spreading celebrity damaging information.

But when they clicked into Charge Conch's account page, they realized this person was Zhao Qinyuan's former assistant.

Why former assistant?

Because not long ago, Zhao Qinyuan had jumped ship to Hanbei Entertainment, while this Charge Conch had been left behind at Taidong Entertainment.

As the closest assistant to Zhao Qinyuan, this Charge Conch had appeared in front of fans' cameras many times. Many fans who followed Zhao Qinyuan recognized her, so her leak was likely credible.

This left the fans who had come to the front lines to defend their idol silent for a moment, unsure how to counterattack.

As various marketing accounts began reposting, the netizens munching on melon seeds, after briefly being surprised by the leaker's identity, started carefully studying the content of her leak.

[That female star who got leeched off is so pitiful. I'm calling out Yuan Sitong here. @Yuan Sitong Fan Club, aren't you guys going to do something about this? Last time I just said a few words on your behalf, I got blasted to pieces by those CP fans.]

[But to be fair, shipping isn't exactly rare in the industry circle these days, right?]

[I thought everyone was just tacitly accepting this kind of behavior...]

[Voluntarily shipping is one thing, but actively leeching off and tying yourself to someone is completely different, okay?]

[Fun fact: Zhao Qinyuan just terminated his contract with Taidong Entertainment this month. And now Taidong's young assistant is coming out to roast him. Who's really behind this, those who know know.]

[I don't care who's behind this. I just want to know if this is true or not.]

[It's real, it's real, realer than pearls. A female actress who worked with him before subtly shaded him on her side account. It's just that their hit drama's CP momentum was super strong back then, so that shady post got deleted later.]

[If you put it that way, both sides shipping counts as one willing to hit and the other willing to take it.]

[Back off! We don't want to associate with our Yuan Sitong! From Little Fox to Liu Zhilin, it's always been Zhao Qinyuan leeching off!]

[Wants to ship be like: Video (In the "Record of Chasing the Wind" live stream, Zhao Qinyuan kept deliberately glancing at Yuan Sitong, his eyes filled with smiles, and took the initiative to help fix her hair.)]

[Doesn't want to ship be like: Video (In the "Record of Chasing the Wind" live stream, Xiao He was just doing his job normally, staring at the bullet comments ahead without even looking at the female lead next to him.)]

[Pfft—I never expected such an obvious contrast.]

[...Well, okay, but don't drag our Brother Xiao into this right now! This has nothing to do with him. Your comparison and disparagement are really stirring up hate! I still have rose-tinted glasses for "Record of Chasing the Wind," so please don't stir the pot like this, okay?]

[Fans who love "Record of Chasing the Wind" feel like the sky is falling. Please, main actors, don't fight!]

[I'm begging on my knees too—don't touch our "Record of Chasing the Wind"!]

Xiao He: ...Bro, Zhao Qinyuan, don't you dare directly collapse on me!

I'm still making money off "Record of Chasing the Wind"!
