Entertainment: Deyun’s young class leader? Sorry, quit

"Guo Qilin is trending again, this time for going back to Deyun Club?"

"Why did he go back to Deyun Club? Did they reconcile?"

"I've never seen anything like this before. Can you really forgive a father like that?"

"Wait a minute, the event hosted by Deyun Club is having Guo Qilin perform? What's going on? What kind of trick are they up to?"

It trended on Weibo.

It attracted a lot of onlookers.

Within tens of minutes, hundreds of topics and marketing articles appeared.

It was already a hot topic, and after they spread it, it became a huge sensation online.

However, the hype doesn't stop there.

Amidst this trending topic, another piece of news suddenly appeared.

[De Yun She spent 16 million to hire Guo Qilin to perform]

Its appearance successfully resolved everyone's doubts.

"So that's how it is. I was wondering why someone who was abused as a child would go back to that kind of dark family of origin. It turns out they went back to make money."

"Wow, sixteen million! If it were me, I'd go back and earn that too. It's free money, enough for a villa in Yanjing."

"Dalin's appearance fee is so high, it's terrifying."

"Is it worth it? I think it's worth it. Music and movies have both been perfunctory, but Dalin deserves it."

"I hope Dalin earns more money, produces more TV dramas, and releases more albums."

"This money is enough to make another movie."

The comments did not criticize Guo Qilin's high net worth; on the contrary, they were overwhelmingly positive.

This made Guo Degang happy, because only then would Dalin be in the mood to come and perform.

By the way, let's use this traffic to help Deyun Club recover.

Wang Hui, however, was not entirely willing to give up. One of the reasons she agreed was to expose Guo Qilin's net worth.

Once it was exposed, it was found to be too high, and ordinary people would definitely feel unbalanced when they saw it.

There was once an actor who was paid a certain amount per day for a single film, and once that was exposed, it accelerated his downfall.

It even became a meme.

When Guo Qilin took over, not only did it not damage the reputation, but it actually improved it. Why does it seem so difficult?

After reading through a bunch of comments, I finally realized that being strong is what really matters – having good interpersonal relationships. I was speechless.

As for Guo Qilin, he didn't take the two trending topics seriously, but his fellow apprentices kept calling him, which was really overwhelming.

In a short period of time, I received twenty calls.

People from Huilin Society and Deyun Society also inquired about it.

Having asked enough questions, he breathed a sigh of relief and slumped onto the sofa.

"The news has become such a big deal; it seems there are quite a few fans following it."

Guo Qilin muttered to himself.

As they were talking, a little girl suddenly climbed up to him like she was climbing a tree, then picked up the remote control and pressed a button on the TV.

Soon, her favorite animation scenes appeared inside.

"What are you doing? Have you finished your homework?"

Hehe sat on her father's lap and nodded, "I'm done writing, I just finished writing it."

"Did Mom cook at home before? Was it good?"

The little girl immediately pouted, "I made it, but it didn't taste good. Even following the recipe didn't make it taste good. But I still ate it."

"Why."

"Because it was made by my mother."

"You're usually such a good girl, remember to always be good to your mother."

"Yes, I'll save the good food for Mom."

Guo Qilin couldn't help but pat the little girl's head. He was extremely gratified to have such a girl in the family.

Where are your younger siblings?

"What younger brother or sister?"

When the father asked a question, he immediately understood. He and his wife had been working hard during this time, and sometimes they would let Hehe stay at his grandparents' house.

But I've been a bit busy lately, so I haven't paid much attention to it.

The specifics depend on the wife.

But then his phone rang, and Guo Qilin sighed, wondering who it was.

Upon closer inspection, he realized it was his master and quickly put his daughter off his lap.

"Master?"

"Wow, this is big news. It's causing a huge uproar online; they actually offered you over ten million to perform?"

Guo Qilin didn't know what to say. "My agent advised me, and Teacher Gao even called Brother Luan to persuade me. What could I do? Could I not go? Especially my agent, who insisted that I make the money first."

Yu Qian laughed while holding his phone, waving his hand, "Making money is like this. If you don't make money from what's sitting there, who will? But I'm puzzled, apprentice, they really dare to give you so much money, it's not a small amount."

"It's fortunate you have a good reputation; otherwise, this kind of thing would be a bad outcome for any ordinary actor, especially since the details were exposed so thoroughly, with the numbers being given out directly."

The master's first concern was this.

Fortunately, the public opinion hasn't changed at all, which shows that Dalin's strength and reputation are so great that they can't be destroyed even if they wanted to.

"Since they've accepted my offer, I'm not worried about them exposing it. In fact, I'd love for them to be exposed, since we've already parted ways."

By the way, after I went to act in it, it also made the actors who still thought I would go back completely give up, otherwise it would be too annoying.

Shaobing told me that some of the young actors from Deyun Society occasionally come to the company to check on my progress and thoughts.

"Yes."

Yu Qian nodded, and as far as Deyun Society has gone, there are still some good actors who believe that Guo Qilin will eventually come back.

After all, with Guo Degang gone, who else would inherit the family business if not him? As a result, a father invited his former son to come back and perform for 16 million.

So it's obvious whether they'll come back or not.

The fact that they've all gone in the direction of inviting celebrities actually indicates that the relationship is completely severed.

Give up on that idea as soon as possible.

Then you can withdraw if you want, or just endure it if you don't.

What is Hehe doing right now?

"What else can we do? Watch TV."

"She's quite a grown girl now, I'll let her eat more later."

"Don't worry, there will be delicious food every day."

The call ends.

Yu Qian's feelings at home were somewhat complicated. Guo Degang was only thinking about inviting his eldest son to perform, and he would probably be overjoyed if he agreed.

He never imagined that such a request would completely extinguish Dalin's hope that he would ever come back to visit.
It might be hard for ordinary people to understand, but he understood it all too well.

For example, if someone is leaving, a group of people hold a farewell party, a very big one at that. But the next day, they find out they don't have to leave, but they still have to go or stop contacting them.

After all, they felt embarrassed to stay any longer.

Guo Degang giving 16 million is a similar idea. If you treat someone like an outsider and invite them with great pomp and circumstance, making it to the trending topics twice, then they'll be an outsider for life.

How can we then reconcile these relationships?
Of course, Da Lin would never accept the future De Yun She, nor would he align himself with them.

The principle is the same, and a father takes the initiative to spend a lot of money to invite outsiders.

It wouldn't sound good if people said that!
Besides, we've lost face.

There was some courtesy between them before, so even if they didn't want to go back and disliked the person, according to Da Lin's politeness, if he was really seriously ill, they would still go back to visit him.

The father-son relationship is severed, but there is still a sliver of connection from their past life together, enough for them to go back and have a respectable visit.

With the result of 16 million, Dalin could openly and comfortably avoid going back to take a look.

It can be said that Guo Degang took the initiative to sever all ties, making himself a complete outsider. "Sigh~ Why didn't you think about it properly? The little bit of sentimentality we Chinese people have is inherently hard to explain, and now it's all gone."

Yu Qian was filled with admiration. Just as he was marveling at this, Guo Degang called him in high spirits.

"Hey, senior! You know what happened? I recently invited Da Lin to throw a big party to liven things up."

Could you come and help me?

"Of course."

"I estimate the event will be held at the end of May. I hope you can come with a few more people then."

The other person's tone was more than just a little bit happy; it was as if they had never been so happy in their entire life.

Yu Qian really wanted to explain the reasons to him, but this whole thing was putting the cart before the horse.

But seeing him like this, I felt a little sorry for him, so I decided not to say anything for now and let him have some fun for a while. We could talk slowly after the event was over.

Or perhaps they never told us?

No, this needs to be told, otherwise he will make even more mistakes in the future.

The phone call didn't last long.

After hanging up a few minutes later, Guo Degang went to contact other people.

Gather all the people you can find together.

In just a few days, the program names were finalized.

Shang Jiuxi, Zheng Xu

Zhang Jiuling, Yang Jiulang
Guo Qilin, Tao Yang

Feng Zhaoyang and He Jiuhua
Guo Qilin, Yan Hexiang, Kong Yunlong, Yue Yunpeng
Gao Feng, Luan Yunping
Guo Qilin, Yu Qian

Once the program was announced, its high quality was recognized by everyone; even the Gangsi Festival didn't have such a strong lineup.

In particular, Guo Qilin delivered three speeches in a row, his brilliance completely overshadowing everyone else.

Even before the event officially opened, many people from outside the city had already begun arriving in Yanjing to wait.

Those who arrived early also had somewhere to go.

That's the venue for Huilin Society's performances, which are free to watch and open to everyone.

Once again, the fellow disciples of Huilin Society and Yu Qian had to admit Dalin's brilliance.

Once this thing is turned on, it can capture trending topics and traffic at any time.

It's like a running tap, it never stops.

In the days leading up to the opening of the event, many of the performers gained recognition and popularity among actors from other regions.

Those who can perform now are already very talented.

The day of the performance arrived quickly.

The Beijing Exhibition Theater was bustling with activity.

In addition to the thousands of people who surrounded the area, five or six media outlets and many partner platforms were all present to broadcast and promote the event live.

Wang Hui even specially invited some drum and ballad performers to perform at the opening ceremony.

She was heartbroken about the appearance fee of over ten million yuan and knew she had to make the most of it.

But she only gave ten million; she knew without even guessing where the rest of the money came from.

I wasn't angry; I just felt that he was really capable of doing this for his eldest son, even taking out all the money he had saved.

He has some courage.

The show is about to start, but he hasn't arrived yet; we have to urge him.

"Hey, where are you? Come over here, your eldest son's performance is about to start, sixteen million, that's enough for you to spend."

I wasn't angry, but Wang Hui's sarcasm was just too much; the difference between four million and twenty million was just too much.

Guo Degang is still in the Rose Garden at this moment.

Although he really wanted to go and see, and many of the media outlets were invited by him, he didn't plan to go immediately.

Going there immediately will only elicit some negative comments.

So let's just wait until after the opening ceremony to talk about it.

He asked his senior to help with the arrangements, so there shouldn't be any problems.

“I’ll be there in a bit, but don’t bring Andy with you.”

He was always worried that his youngest son would cause trouble.

"I know, I have to keep a close eye on him now, so come over as soon as possible."

Finished the phone call.

Wang Hui sat in the car looking towards the Beijing Exhibition Center.

Guo Degang wouldn't dare come now, but in reality, how could she possibly come in such a conspicuous manner?

She felt just as ashamed in front of Guo Qilin.

They certainly wouldn't go behind the scenes.

He also planned to wait until all the audience members had their tickets checked before going in. Once inside, his seat wasn't in the first row, as the first row was too conspicuous. He was given the third or fourth seat, which was a better location.

"Teacher Wang, that's about enough. There aren't too many people outside."

By 7 p.m., most of the people outside had left, leaving only a few scattered bystanders who were either live-streaming or just watching the spectacle.

"Wait a little longer."

Wang Hui didn't want to attract any more attention, so she waited until around 7:27 or 7:28 before getting out of the car with one or two assistants.

However, even with such caution, it was still seen by some latecomers and passersby.

"Is that Wang Hui?"

"Really, I didn't expect her to come."

"What's so strange about that? They're the ones who came here today as the organizers to invite people to perform. It's not cheap, sixteen million. They're really willing to spend that much."

"It seems Guo Degang hasn't come."

"I don't know, it might come later."

"He will definitely come back, just wait and see."

Wang Hui overheard a few idle words and felt a little uncomfortable, but she couldn't care less.

I went straight in and found my seat.

After sitting down, they were not conspicuous, having already made some basic disguises.

By this time, the performance was about to begin.

The first program was the opening performance of the drum music troupe, which was not listed in the program.

Amidst thunderous applause, one by one, young women dressed in cheongsams stepped onto the stage.

These girls are very beautiful, and their presence on stage is a rare sight.

Soon.

The strings began, and the singing erupted.

"In early summer, the gardens are lush with vegetation, and the reflections of pavilions and terraces are cast into the pond."

Just the first sentence.

The audience gave another round of applause. Some people know that the Drum Music Society has been doing quite well recently.

But Shaobing, standing in the side of the stage, chuckled, "If Master's wife weren't the organizer, she could have easily added a drum and ballad performance a few days in advance. It wasn't originally planned."

"This also shows that we need to leverage our class leader's popularity. Look at the number of viewers for today's live stream; there were already several million in the first ten minutes."

"It's alright, just showing it off."

Guo Qilin acted magnanimously, because he could make over ten million after today's performance, so why not? As for what programs or people to add, he didn't care at all.

In fact, the current level of professionalism in drum music surpasses that of some of the current performers at Deyun Society.

The current level of crosstalk performances by Deyun Club has long been utterly terrible.

Even combined, they couldn't defeat the former Grand Canal Transport Commissioner, who had once withdrawn from the war. (End of Chapter)
