Chapter 68 Flying to the Top
"Our newest guests are Cheng Yanye and Mu Zhihong! Welcome, both of you!"
After Zhu Song finished speaking, he led the applause.
Everyone politely welcomed her, and Ye Wanyin pretended to be very surprised, but in reality, she was quickly thinking about the current situation.
She had no idea that Cheng Yanye would come, and that he would bring Mu Zhihong with him. Although Mu Zhihong was her aunt's boyfriend, they couldn't really be considered relatives, could they?
"Wanwan, are you surprised? Has she bullied you while I was away these past few days?" Cheng Yanye was very arrogant. He simply nodded to everyone to indicate that he had heard, and then focused on talking to Ye Wanyin.
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately perked up their ears for gossip.
This is clearly aimed at Ye Sanqing! But... who is this guy? Is he an entertainer? I don't recognize him. And the other one...
Everyone turned their attention to Mu Zhihong, frantically searching their minds.
Ye Sanqing preemptively retorted, "What? Does it make any difference whether you're here or not? Who are you? Do I need your permission to do anything? I don't like what you said, take it back."
Sheng Hanyu naturally recognized him and whispered a few words to Pei Canxing. As a result, Pei Canxing's gaze towards him immediately changed to one of sudden realization mixed with a hint of gossip.
Zhu Song explained a few words to the others, and they understood that Cheng Yanye was a newly debuted idol who had only been officially announced a couple of days ago. They hadn't received any information from the outside world, so naturally they didn't know him.
As for the other one, he claimed to be Cheng Yanye's cousin.
Cheng Yanye's plan for the next two days was to debut immediately and then squeeze into the show. That day, he posted a complaint on his WeChat Moments, which immediately struck a chord with Mu Zhihong, who was thinking about how to get close to the Ye sisters.
Mu Zhihong owns an entertainment company, but it's not the kind that people usually think of. The company mainly takes on gigs for shopping mall openings, wedding performances, and bar gigs. The artists in the company are either completely unknown or have been forgotten for a long time, but the company is quite large.
After all, this kind of work may seem insignificant, but the market for it is huge.
Then Cheng Yanye posted on his WeChat Moments. He happened to have two boys under his wing who were already packaged and ready to go for a more high-end image, so he simply had Cheng Yanye join the group. It was officially announced just two days ago.
[Charge forward, Chengcheng! Fireworks will always be with you!]
From the moment Cheng Yanye appeared on screen, there have been many similar comments, and they are still being posted now. The initial goodwill that casual viewers had towards him because of his decent appearance has almost been wiped out.
[Hmm... What kind of group is this? It sounds pretty new. So, it's the first time I've ever heard of someone joining a group and not performing together, but instead appearing on a family variety show on their own.]
[I just looked it up, they're called the VCR group because the members' names contain the letters VCR... What a great name they have!]
[C is Cheng Yanye, who are the other two?]
[One is named Wei Yunhao, the other Rong Xi; it seems one sings and the other dances... So what does Cheng Yanye do? Rap?]
[This "V" is amazing, I racked my brain trying to figure out where the "V" is in pinyin.]
[He can't just be in charge of appearances, can he? Although he's quite handsome, there's always a gap between him and celebrities. Standing next to Sheng Hanyu, he's overshadowed, especially since Sheng Hanyu is wearing a mask.]
[No comparing or belittling! Chengcheng is the best!]
"...For someone who's just debuted, to be making such a big splash, tell me, how much money did they give you?"
[And they weren't even from a talent show... the whole group just appeared out of nowhere, amazing!]
[Coming to this variety show was definitely the right decision, but his solo actions seem a bit odd, and he's quite familiar with Ye Wanyin?]
[And debuting at 24 is way too late!]
Their propaganda sounds appealing, claiming it's a hidden gem, misunderstood and left to languish elsewhere.
Let's see, maybe he really does have the skills.
[Based on this rude attitude... it's hard to say]
Upon hearing Ye Sanqing directly target Cheng Yanye, Ye Wanyin said, "Sister, don't be mean to Brother Yanye~ Aren't you happy that there are people we all know in the show?"
"Yes, I'm very unhappy. What? Do you want to make me happy?" Ye Sanqing readily admitted.
Everyone: Wow, Ye Wanyin's combat power wasn't good before, I wonder if one plus one can be greater than two?
"..." Ye Wanyin tugged at Cheng Yanye's sleeve with a wronged expression, but quickly let go, mainly to express that she still had lingering resentment about what had happened before.
"All you do is take your anger out on Wanwan," Cheng Yanye thought Ye Sanqing wouldn't do anything in front of the camera, so he became even more unrestrained in his speech, "I'm here to support Wanwan! Come over here and apologize to Wanwan!"
As he spoke, he walked over and tried to pull Ye Sanqing away.
Sheng Hanyu: !
No one expected Cheng Yanye to resort to violence after just a few words, and none of them had time to react.
But Ye Sanqing was faster than everyone else. With a wave of his hand, Cheng Yanye flew out of the frame.
Sheng Hanyu: Okay... I should have thought of that.
The camera searched for Cheng Yanye for a while and found him hanging by the waist on a branch of a big tree outside the yard. The branch looked like it could barely support his weight. What was even more terrifying was that below him was a ring of broken glass at the very top of the yard wall.
【Wow! Master Ye is fierce! He'll fight at the drop of a hat!】
As expected, she had gone easy on Ye Wanyin a couple of days ago.
How did he do that? He just raised his hand and flew away? He doesn't look light at all.
[What kind of person is this! They're quick to hit people, doesn't the production team do anything about it?]
[The sun rises and the winds rise! It's the sun rises and the winds rise—this move has finally reappeared in the world!!]
[If this were to accidentally hit the wall... I don't want to look at what it would look like.]
Boycott! Resolutely boycott!
[It didn't even get lifted, so what are you yelling about?]
Cheng Yanye was stunned for a while before he realized he was in mid-air.
He tried to find a foothold, but his hands and feet wouldn't obey him. The shards of glass below were still gleaming coldly, so he had no choice but to hug the tree branch tightly and shout, "Ye Sanqing, what are you doing?"
All eyes were on him, and Mu Zhihong smiled from behind the crowd.
He knew that Cheng Yanye and Ye Wanyin would keep provoking Ye Sanqing, which was why he came to the show with Cheng Yanye.
He was very familiar with manipulating public opinion. As long as Ye Sanqing attacked those two people, he was confident that he could make Ye Sanqing be blacklisted by the entire internet.
And when she was at her wit's end, he descended upon her like a god...
Hehehe...
"Uncle, you're smiling like a villain." Sheng Hanyu felt that the person who came with Cheng Yanye must not be a good person either, so he had been observing him. Sure enough, he was caught red-handed, and he immediately said loudly.
"Huh? Uncle, did you bring Cheng Yanye on the show just to see him make a fool of himself?" Ye Sanqing turned around and looked at Mu Zhihong upon hearing this.
"No, it's just the angle, you must have seen it wrong," Mu Zhihong said, forcing a smile to fade from his face.
"Oh, I noticed you didn't seem worried at all when he went up. You're not related to him, are you, Director?" Ye Sanqing shouted at Zhu Song.
Zhu Song quickly put the handkerchief he used to wipe his sweat back into his pocket.
Ye Sanqing is truly an ancestor!
He wanted to create a sensational show, but not something so dangerous! Fortunately, Ye Sanqing seemed to know what he was doing and didn't actually intend to hurt anyone.
He could only pretend he had just noticed and say, "They really are uncle and nephew, maybe cousins, though they're a bit distant."
Ye Sanqing: "How far is it? From here to there—that far?"
She first pointed to where Mu Zhihong was standing, then gestured towards Cheng Yanye's tree branch.
Everyone wanted to laugh, but felt it was a bit indecent, except for Sheng Hanyu who burst out laughing.
"Put me down right now! Ye Sanqing!" Cheng Yanye felt that the tree branch was very unsafe, but he dared not move at all and could only shout.
“Yes, sister, that’s so dangerous…” Ye Wanyin immediately walked to Ye Sanqing’s side, but she didn’t reach out to pull Ye Sanqing away, because she was also afraid of being thrown into danger herself.
“Cheng Yanye, I told you the first time we met that your attitude was very problematic.” Ye Sanqing stood diagonally below him, looking up at him slightly. “If you don’t reflect on your actions, I won’t let you down today.”
“Sanqing, you…” Although Mu Zhihong wanted Cheng Yanye to cause trouble, he also had to maintain appearances, so he came over as well.
Ye Sanqing suddenly picked up a tree branch from the ground and swung it, making a whooshing sound. "Today, no one can cross the line of my sword!"
Mu Zhihong instinctively bounced back, almost knocking Ye Wanyin over.
[This is crazy, it's hilarious!]
Memories that died many years ago are attacking me; I never expected Master Ip to read comics.
I never expected to see this line in this way...
"Teacher Sheng, please persuade my sister..." When Ye Wanyin saw that Ye Sanqing had only thrown the person onto the tree branch instead of the dangerous wall, she knew roughly what the bottom line of Ye Sanqing's actions was, so she was not in a hurry.
But that didn't stop her from putting on an anxious expression, and deliberately speaking in a very soft but clearly audible voice, "Even if you had something going on with him before, you can't do something so dangerous just because you see him unhappy... What if you fall?"
Despite saying that, Ye Wanyin had a vague thought: if the tree weren't outside the wall, she would definitely kick the trunk to make Cheng Yanye fall down. If that happened and blood was spilled, Ye Sanqing's acting career would be over.
As for Cheng Yanye's injury? Anyway, she won't mind.
[Before...? So Ye Sanqing is just angry out of embarrassment? What's their relationship? Ex-boyfriend?]
[Um... let me clarify first that I'm not saying anything bad about Master Ye, but are you sure someone who betrayed her... can still breathe?]
How do you know it was the man who betrayed him? What if it was Ye Sanqing who dumped him?
[So many rumors have surfaced in just a short time! Master Ip, please clarify!]
Although he didn't know the content of the comments, it didn't stop Ye Sanqing from providing an explanation in time.
"Everyone, look closely, this man is Cheng Yanye," Ye Sanqing pointed at him with a tree branch in her hand, "He's the one I mentioned a couple of days ago about breaking off our engagement. Remember this face! If he approaches me, it's definitely him harassing me! The whole nation is my witness!"
Cheng Yanye: ...Couldn't you have gotten me down first before saying all this?
Because he was hanging by his waist, he had difficulty breathing, and his face gradually turned red from being upside down. He opened his mouth to say a few words, but in the end, he was only focused on panting and couldn't utter a single word.
So it was him!
【That Ye Wanyin…】
