Xiao Yiyi, accompanied by her manager and assistant, rushed to the underground parking lot in anger. As soon as they got in the car, she commanded her assistant, “Go and post a Weibo message saying that Shen Ye bullied me!”

The assistant looked towards the manager.

The manager sighed and nodded in agreement. Xiao Yiyi had a bad temper and after getting close to the higher-ups, she became even more arrogant. She even dare to offend the senior members of the company and her manager was just like a decoration. Even if she tried to stop her, this little brat wouldn’t listen and might even vent her anger on her… it was better to let her go and stir up trouble.

Fortunately, Shen Ye was not an untouchable big shot, he was just a poor guy. Everyone knew that he had been kicked out of his house by his biological father and ruined by his stepmother, and many people were cursing him online.

Even if he knew that Xiao Yiyi was plotting against him, Shen Ye would not dare to cause trouble.

So the assistant logged on to Weibo and posted a message: “I heard something strange. A certain artist with the surname Shen, who is suspected of drug use, spoke disrespectfully to my little Yi bao, cursed that my little Yi bao would only be popular for one month, and said that my little Yi bao would be in trouble next month… It’s crazy, we all think he’s gone crazy… Although the drug use thing has been clarified, who knows if someone is protecting him… It is said that people who use drugs excessively can lose their minds…”

Before her debut, Xiao Yiyi was a popular platform anchor with many loyal fans. After debuting and participating in a fixed variety show, she gained many new fans and became a rising star with increasing popularity.

The company arranged for the assistant to infiltrate Xiao Yiyi’s fan group, and because she often posted some exclusive photos of Xiao Yiyi that others didn’t have, she quickly became a leading fan. Her Weibo account had over 20,000 followers.

After the post was published on Weibo, Xiao Yiyi’s fans were in an uproar. The drug-addicted artist with the surname Shen was none other than Shen Ye. How dare Shen Ye curse Xiao Yiyi, how could they tolerate this? Fans flooded into Shen Ye’s Weibo, commenting:

“Your mouth is so vicious, your life must be very bitter, right?”

“If you have a problem, go get treatment!”

“Get out of the entertainment industry, drug addict!”

Shen Ye’s Weibo account was opened when the original owner of the body just entered the entertainment industry, with over a million followers, but the active fans were estimated to be no more than 10,000. He only attracted a group of fans because of his good looks.

Faced with such a huge and organized fan base as Xiao Yiyi’s, Shen Ye’s fans were no match.

Soon, Shen Ye’s Weibo was filled with curses and insults.

Seeing her fans taking revenge for her, Xiao Yiyi finally smiled, “Hmph, you want to compete with me!”

Liu Yuejuan was also smearing Shen Ye online, and when she saw someone targeting him, she immediately mobilized her water army to work together with Xiao Yiyi’s fans to send Shen Ye up the trending topics:

#Counting the previous legal experts#

#Shen Ye, get out of the entertainment industry#

Netizens have zero tolerance for drug use, even if Xu Sisi had already clarified the situation for Shen Ye. But because Liu Yuejuan has been blackening Shen Ye, many people still believe that Shen Ye really used drugs. When they click in, they cannot help but discuss it.

“Although this guy looks good, he is a bit melancholic. Drug use ruins one’s life.”

“It’s a pity, otherwise this appearance would definitely make it big in the entertainment industry.”

“So I advise everyone to truly love life and stay away from drugs.”

Shen Ye’s fans had to explain: “It has been clarified long ago that Shen Ye was framed. His drug test result was negative, and he was released on the same day.”

“Please do not spread rumors. Shen Ye did not use drugs.”

Unfortunately, the fans’ voices were too weak and were completely drowned out by the water army hired by Yiyi’s fans and Liu Yuejuan, and they could only watch Shen Ye being slandered.

At this time, Shen Ye had already taken the elevator to the top floor and didn’t know that he had been framed by Xiao Yiyi and Liu Yuejuan.

Xu Sisi also didn’t know that Shen Ye had calculated a fortune for Xiao Yiyi downstairs, and because of this fortune, Shen Ye was pushed to the hot search again. She was promoting Shen Ye in the boss’s office: “President Shi, just give it a try. Shen Ye is really talented.”

She has brought up many popular artists and has a certain status in the company, able to talk to the big boss.

The big boss is named Shi Bajiao, who single-handedly created and expanded Ba Jiao Entertainment and has a high status in the industry. Xu Sisi has been grinding here for almost an hour, and Mr. Shi impatiently asks, “You’re talking about Shen Ye? If he’s really capable, how come he couldn’t even handle that little matter with the Shen family and got himself ruined by his stepmother?”

Xu Sisi: “…”

She has already repeated Shen Ye’s statement about his awakening talent at the age of twenty over and over again, but the boss just doesn’t believe it.

Mr. Shi waves his hand and says, “My friend said he wants to introduce me to a powerful master… You go talk to Shen Ye, don’t let him walk the crooked path and play these scams!”

Xu Sisi mutters, “He didn’t scam anyone!”

At this moment, the secretary knocks on the door and reports that Shen Ye has arrived.

Mr. Shi says, “Send him away.”

Xu Sisi quickly says, “At least let him come in and listen to what he has to say.”

Mr. Shi looks at her and sighs, “Sisi, your business ability is outstanding, and the artists you bring out have earned the company a lot of money. I really appreciate you, but…you have a bit of a bad heart1although the person’s intentions are good, their approach or execution may be flawed or misguided..

In this circle, she is also considered a strange flower. 

Xu Sisi also sighed, “Will you see him then?”

Mr. Shi was helpless and finally agreed to let Shen Ye in.

As soon as Shen Ye walked into the office, Xu Sisi pulled his arm and said, “This is Mr. Shi. Quickly help Mr. Shi figure out how to solve his family’s problems.”

Mr. Shi looked at Shen Ye. Although he didn’t have much contact with the Shen family, he did know Shen Ye. The Shen family was considered a wealthy family in Haicheng and he also admired Shen Ye’s grandfather for his ability to start from scratch. He had a good impression of the Shen family. It was a pity that the Shen family had bad luck and found an ungrateful animal as their son-in-law. After Shen Ye’s grandfather passed away, Yang Ming kicked Shen Ye out of the house.

Today, Shen Ye was wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans, and his fair and pretty face had a touch of innocence.

At this point, he looked like a kid who had not grown up yet.

Out of respect for Shen Ye’s grandfather, Mr. Shi’s attitude was still mild, and said, “Xu Sisi said you can do fortune-telling?”

Shen Ye could naturally see Mr. Shi’s skepticism.

He looked at Mr. Shi’s face carefully and smiled and nodded, “Yes, I’m very good at it.”

Mr. Shi: “…” He really wasn’t modest at all.

Shen Ye said, “Your mother has been sick all along, right? This matter is not difficult to solve. I’ll go to your house and take care of it today.”

Mr. Shi was quite surprised. It was true that his mother had a strange illness. He had taken her to numerous hospitals, consulted many experts, and even had her checked abroad, but the cause of the illness had not been found.

But he didn’t believe in Shen Ye because of this. Instead, he wondered if Xu Sisi had told Shen Ye about his mother’s condition in advance.

He said seriously, “Do you really have a way? Are you kidding?”

Shen Ye replied, “Of course not.”

Mr. Shi became more serious and warned, “You have to think it over. If you’re trying to play me, I won’t let you get away with it!”

Shen Ye smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I’m not playing you.”

Seeing him so confident, Mr. Shi hesitated a little. Could it be that he really had awakened some kind of talent as Xu Sisi had said?

This kind of thing sounds very mysterious but business people still believe in such things to some extent.

After careful consideration, Mr. Shi finally agreed, “My friend also introduced a master who is said to be very powerful. After a couple of days, when my friend invites the master, you can go to my house together.”

Although he agreed, it was clear that he still didn’t believe in Shen Ye’s ability. Xu Sisi couldn’t help feeling a bit regretful. It was such a good opportunity. If it was missed, when would Shen Ye be able to pay back the two million yuan…

Shen Ye didn’t have much of a reaction. He had a lot of confidence in himself. Even if he had to compete with the so-called master in a couple of days, he believed he could win.

Mr. Shi turned his head and saw Xu Sisi’s hesitant expression. He decided to speak up and said, “My friend introduced me to a master who has extraordinary skills. His son was kidnapped by human traffickers before. Even though the master had never met him or his son, he was able to locate his son’s whereabouts just by reading his father’s facial features. The police went there and caught the traffickers right away… This is truly amazing!”

This story has already spread within the industry. After all, Fuyu Industry is a big company and no matter how much manpower and financial resources Fu Guanglin used, they couldn’t find the human traffickers. It is said that the traffickers had a well-organized network that could evade pursuit. However, the master was able to locate the traffickers and the entire organization was rooted out.

Now, many people are eager to have Fu Guanglin introduce them to the master.

Unfortunately, this friend of his is currently at home taking care of his son and doesn’t have the time to contact the master.

Mr. Shi glanced at Shen Ye and said, “You should quickly resolve the online issue. Your life still has a long way to go. If you need help, you can come to me, but don’t take the wrong path.”

His words were somewhat well-intentioned. Firstly, he and Shen Ye’s grandfather were acquaintances and he didn’t want to see Shen Ye take the wrong path. Secondly, Xu Sisi was also causing trouble with Shen Ye and he wanted to remind the two of them to be down-to-earth in their actions.

However, the two of them looked at him with complicated expressions instead.

He frowned, wondering if he hadn’t been clear enough.

Suddenly, Shen Ye asked, “Is your friend the CEO of Fuyu Industry?”

Mr. Shi was surprised. “How did you know?”

Xu Sisi laughed this time. “You didn’t ask Mr. Fu about the name of the master, right?”

Mr. Shi realized that he indeed didn’t ask and slapped his forehead. “I forgot.”

Xu Sisi smiled and said, “Why don’t you ask him now then?”

Mr. Shi felt that her tone was strange. Does she know that master? But he also wanted to know the name of the master, so he picked up his phone and contacted Fu Guanglin.

On the other end, Mr. Fu was at the hospital with his son. He received a call from his old friend and asked, “Lao Shi, what’s up?”

Mr. Shi asked, “What’s the name of the master you wanted to introduce me to?”

Although Mr. Fu had never met the master himself, his father had always reminded him to remember the master’s name. So, he knew it and answered without thinking, “Shen Ye.”

Mr. Shi: “…”

He held the phone, looked at Shen Ye with a strange and stiff expression for a while, and then asked, “Can you tell me his age?”

Mr. Fu really didn’t know the age of the master, he only knew that he was very young but he didn’t have a specific idea of how young. So, he gave the phone to his father.

“He’s less than twenty years old, but he looks like a kid. But don’t underestimate him, he really has some skills. If it wasn’t for him, my grandson would have been sold to the mountains by the human traffickers long ago!” The old man’s voice was full of vigor and came through the phone to Mr. Shi’s ear.

Mr. Shi: “…”

He was stunned.
