Who would still be a social slave when they are so rich?

"Oh my, Teacher Wang, you're really putting on airs! Coming back right on time, is the food outside too delicious and you don't want to leave?" Zhang Dada's highly recognizable voice rang out in the corridor.

Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw Zhang Dada leaning against the door of the lounge, glancing sideways at Wang Weijia and Sister Chen who had just walked over, her words almost overflowing with sarcasm.

Wang Weijia slightly raised his eyes, glanced at Zhang Dada quietly, knowing that this guy wouldn't be dancing for long, and didn't have the mind to argue with him, so he stepped into the rest room.

Zhang Dada saw this as a blatant disregard for him, which made him furious. Seeing that the other person was about to enter the lounge, he immediately raised his voice and added sarcastically, "Heh~ These young people nowadays, they don't even have any fame yet, and they're already so arrogant!"

"If he becomes famous in the future, won't he be so arrogant? He might fall hard after climbing too high, that would be embarrassing."

Wang Weijia paused, his hand gripping the doorknob. He turned around, his gaze sharp for the first time fixed on Zhang Dada.

Even a clay figure retains some earthy charm, but this guy keeps targeting him, does he really think he's some kind of coward?

A cold smile played on his lips, his tone steady yet each word clear: "Teacher Zhang, you needn't worry about my sense of time. But with a voice like yours, it's a real shame you're not an opera singer!"

"As for fame," Wang Weijia's gaze remained calm, but a hint of confidence appeared in his eyes. "I, Wang Weijia, am upright and honest, and I rely on my works and strength to speak for myself. I believe I will make a name for myself in this industry!"

"But you, Teacher Zhang," Wang Weijia glanced at Zhang Dada meaningfully, a hint of sarcasm flashing across his lips, "instead of worrying about how badly others have fallen, you should think more about whether the steps you're standing on are still stable?"

These words were like a silent slap across Zhang Dada's face—not only pointing out his questionable professional skills, but also implying that he had a shallow foundation and relied entirely on scheming.

At the same time, the staff and contestants who were watching the show were shocked and whispered among themselves. Some said Wang Weijia was brave, some said he was daring, but most were regretting Wang Weijia's future path to stardom.

After all, Zhang Dada has been in the industry for so many years, and her network of connections is something that newcomers like them can't match.

At this moment, Zhang Dada felt the whispers and pointing around him. He felt that his authority and face were being trampled on by Wang Weijia. He was so angry that his fingertips trembled. Just as he was about to lash out, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly interrupted the standoff.

"What's all the noise about!" The director strode over with a stern face, his gaze sweeping between the two men before finally settling on Wang Weijia with obvious impatience: "Wang Weijia, shut up! Dada is a senior in the industry, what's wrong with saying a few words to you?"

In the director's view, Wang Weijia was just a newcomer with no online fame. Even though he was under Yang Mi's company, he shouldn't be so arrogant.

The director's blatant favoritism made Zhang Dada feel like she had found a backer. She straightened her back instantly and added fuel to the fire with a sarcastic tone: "That's right, director! Look at these newcomers nowadays, they're really something else. I just asked him a few words of concern as a senior, and he's already acting like he's riding on my head!"

"If we don't discipline them properly, who knows what trouble they might cause our production team later!" he said, glancing at Wang Wei's house with a provocative look and a smug smile on his lips.

Seeing this, the surrounding staff and contestants fell silent, their gazes towards Wang Weijia filled with even more sympathy and regret. They all felt that Wang Weijia was doomed to suffer this injustice today, and might even face repercussions from Zhang Dada and the director later.

In contrast, Wang Weijia and his agent, Sister Chen, remained calm and showed no fear despite the director's and Zhang Dada's words.

"Alright, stop standing here, don't you even look around?" Before the director could finish speaking, his phone suddenly vibrated in his pocket. He frowned, took out his phone, and after seeing the caller ID, he frowned slightly and gave Wang Weijia a meaningful look.

She then answered the phone with a smile: "President Mi~ What brings you to call me? Is there something you need?"

The name "President Mi" acted like a speed bump, causing the staff and contestants who were about to turn around to leave to stop in their tracks. They knew that Wang Wei's "saviors" had arrived, and they all perked up their ears.

"Did someone report to you?" the director asked with a smile, but his tone was somewhat dismissive. After all, he was a director with deep connections in the industry, so he naturally didn't have any flattering attitude towards Yang Mi.

“It’s normal for young people to have a temper. Dada, as a senior, said a few words to him for his own good.” The director’s smile suddenly froze, and his fingers gripping the phone tightened slightly.

The sudden increase in volume immediately aroused the curiosity of the onlookers. The previously quiet crowd began to whisper among themselves, all speculating whether Yang Mi had come to support Wang Wei's family, and with an unusually firm attitude, otherwise the director wouldn't have reacted so strongly.

On the other end of the phone, Yang Mi's voice came through clearly and calmly: "Director Li, do you think Jiahang is easy to bully? A clown who latched onto a Hunan TV host dares to deliberately target people from our company?"

“I specifically told Director Li before that Wang Wei’s family is the focus of our Jiahang team for Tomorrow’s program, but it seems you haven’t taken it to heart!”

"If you think that Jiahang's influence is too small to meet the standards of a great director like you, I can have Jiahang's major shareholder, Yunmengze Group, call you personally!"

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, Wang Wei's family was specially arranged by the highest levels of the Yunmengze Group to come to Jiahang for training!"

Yang Mi's voice was like a thunderclap, instantly turning the director's face pale!

Yunmengze Group!
That entity, a behemoth in the business world, has businesses spanning various industries and is one of the most important financial backers of major television stations. Well-known companies in the industry, such as Peak Entertainment and Jiahang Media, are among its subsidiaries.

He's just a small-time variety show director; he's not even worth an ant compared to Yun Mengze.

The director's hand holding the phone began to tremble uncontrollably, and his voice changed tone: "Ms. Mi, you've misunderstood! This...this...this was my oversight! Don't worry! I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

He hung up the phone almost bowing and scraping, and when he looked up again, his face was completely pale.

At this moment, Zhang Dada, oblivious to the danger, came over with a fawning smile: "Director, is it because Yang Mi's side put pressure on us? If you ask me, it's these companies."

"Shut the hell up!" The director whirled around, his eyes bloodshot with shock and rage. He pointed at Zhang Dada's nose, his voice shrill and cracking with extreme fear: "Zhang Dada! Who the hell do you think you are?! Huh?! A sycophant who climbed the ladder, and you dare to bark like a dog here?!"

This roar was like a thunderclap from a clear sky, stunning everyone!

No one expected that the director would take a phone call and then completely change his attitude!
Does Wang Wei's family have some kind of background that the production team doesn't know about?
For a moment, the staff and contestants who were watching looked at Wang Wei's family with a more fervent gaze.

Zhang Dada was completely dumbfounded by the scolding, her mouth agape and she couldn't utter a word for a long time.

As if venting all his fear and regret, the director yelled at him, "Open your dog eyes and see clearly! Do you think you can mess with Teacher Wang? From today onwards—no, from this moment on—you're fired!"

"Get out of the show immediately! Right now! I will never use a scoundrel like you in any show I'm in charge of from now on, and I will also tell other variety show directors and platforms I work with about your behavior, so that we can completely blacklist you, a disreputable artist with bad character!" The words "complete blacklist" hit Zhang Dada's heart like a heavy hammer.

His legs gave way, and he collapsed to the ground, his face drained of color, his lips trembling as he stammered, "Director...you can't...I...I have...backed by..."

"But what?!" The director kicked away the hand that was trying to grab him, his eyes filled with utter disgust. "You think you're so great just because you've latched onto some big shot on Hunan TV? In the face of real capital, you're nothing but a fart! Get out!"

Just then, a ringtone suddenly sounded, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound to find that it was Zhang Dada's cell phone ringing.

Zhang Dada, who was slumped on the ground, grasped at a straw as if he were trying to save a life. He frantically pulled out his phone, and when he saw "Agent - Sister Wang" flashing on the screen, a bad feeling immediately welled up in his heart. But he still quickly answered the phone. He didn't know if he was in such a hurry that he accidentally turned on the speakerphone.

"Sister Wang, did you get a call?"

Before Zhang Dada could finish speaking, a furious roar came from the other end of the phone, "Zhang Dada, you son of a bitch, who have you offended? The company just received calls from over a dozen major clients, suspending all cooperation with us, even the station's advertising has stopped! The leadership is enraged!"

"From this moment forward, the company and all programs on the station will cease cooperation with you. You'd better pray for the future!"

"Oh, right. Sister Na asked me to pass on a message to you: don't contact me anymore!" After saying that, she hung up the phone without waiting for Zhang Dada's reaction.

"What? Impossible! Sister Wang, you're lying to me, aren't you!" Zhang Dada stared at the phone that had already been hung up, as if struck by lightning, and the phone fell to the ground with a "thud".

The entire corridor fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone was stunned by the series of bombshell news. No one expected that the forces behind Wang Weijia could sever ties with even Hunan TV and Zhang Dada's company with just a slight movement.

What kind of powerful connections do they need to get all this done in such a short time!
The director was so frightened that his legs went weak. Fortunately, he hadn't deliberately targeted Wang Wei's family, otherwise he himself might have been the next to suffer!
"Security! Security!" the director yelled hoarsely, "Throw this piece of trash out of here!"

Two security guards immediately emerged from the crowd, one on each side, and lifted the already terrified Zhang Dada, leading her outside.

"No! This can't be! Wang Weijia, Teacher Wang, I was wrong!" Zhang Dada suddenly burst into a shrill cry, struggling to crawl towards Wang Weijia. "Please, please forgive me! I was blind! It was me!"

Wang Weijia glanced coldly at Zhang Dada, who was crying uncontrollably, and said in a calm tone: "Teacher Zhang, instead of begging me here, you should think about how many people you have offended over the years!"

After saying that, Wang Wei nodded slightly to the director: "Director, the recording is about to start, so I'll go back to the dressing room to prepare."

"Hey, Wei Jia, wait a minute!" Just as Wang Wei Jia turned around to go inside, the director called out to him.

Turning around, she quietly looked at the director, waiting for him to continue. Director Li coughed lightly and said seriously, "This afternoon's filming is temporarily canceled. The production team needs to deal with the host's situation. Wei Jia and all the contestants can have a good rest!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Weijia simply nodded and said, "Okay, Director, I'll go back and rest now!"

He turned around and pushed open the door to the lounge, never once glancing at Zhang Dada, who was slumped on the ground.

The door clicked shut, shutting out all the noise in the corridor!

The director finally breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and sternly said to the still stunned crowd, "Everyone disperse! Go back to what you were doing! Also... keep your mouths shut about what happened today!"

"Yes, Director Li!" the onlookers responded in unison, then turned and left in small groups.

The director looked at Zhang Dada, who was being held by security guards, and glared at the two guards angrily: "What are you still standing here for? Hurry up and drag this thing out of here, don't get in the way!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Dada's heart-wrenching cries rang out again, "Director! Please give me another chance! Teacher Wang, please open the door, I was really wrong!"

His cries echoed in the empty corridor, but they received no response.

The two security guards dragged him out without any politeness, their shoes scraping against the ground with a harsh screech.

The staff and contestants all turned around and saw this scene. They all subconsciously looked at the tightly closed door, and their eyes showed a hint of awe.

"Looks like everyone on the production team will have to be careful serving this guy from now on..."

"You really can't judge a book by its cover! This Zhang Dada is basically blacklisted, right? Her connections are too strong!"

"Who says otherwise? Looking at Wang Wei... Teacher Wang has such a kind and honest appearance. I didn't expect... It seems I should spend more time with Teacher Wang in the future."

Amidst the whispers, Zhang Dada's cries gradually faded into the distance.

In the lounge, Wang Weijia stood by the window, watching Zhang Dada being roughly shoved into a car by security guards downstairs, his gaze calm.

Agent Chen, carrying a cup of freshly brewed tea, walked to Wang Weijia's side, handed him the cup, and then slowly said, "Weijia, there are no secrets in the entertainment industry. This incident will definitely spread far and wide in a short time. At that time, all the 'demons and monsters' in the industry will emerge. You... you'd better be prepared!"

Actually, Sister Chen was also a little flustered and confused, wondering if Wang Wei's family could withstand the various temptations of the huge entertainment industry.

Money, fame, or even beauty!
A hint of melancholy flickered in Wang Wei's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by confidence and determination, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

"Don't worry, Sister Chen! I will take responsibility for everything and make a name for myself in the industry. I can't let Big Brother down!"

Outside the window, Zhang Dada's car sped away, taking with it his last glimmer of hope in this industry!
But the era of the Wang family had only just begun! (End of Chapter)
