Chinese entertainment started with male models

Chapter 605 Invites her to the victory celebration banquet

Throughout Yang Tianbao and Huang Xiaoming's love story, the rumor of a mistress taking over has always been present.

Anyway, the stories from various marketing accounts and the timelines dug up by netizens all seem to prove this point.

Of course, Yang Tianbao's ex-girlfriend also seemed to have this kind of "trouble".

But these kinds of things always seem to affect the current partner!

It's become a common practice for everyone to scrutinize whoever ends up in power.

We can't just take advantage of a "loser" and beat them up with crickets, can we? That would be a bit unsportsmanlike.

However, nowadays, Yang Tianbao clearly doesn't want to be teased like that anymore; simply put, he's become too independent.

When she was Mrs. Huang, as a victor with vested interests, it was one thing to be told such things, but now that she is no longer Mrs. Huang, she is no longer willing to continue.

In addition, there had to be some groundwork laid before she and Huang Xiaoming officially announced their divorce.

So today's Weibo post is brand new.

She publicly addressed the long-standing rumors of being a mistress, and directly called out Huang Xiaoming, stating that she would no longer take the blame for this matter.

In this Weibo post, she directly called out Huang Xiaoming's ex-girlfriend, Li Feier, saying that it was Li Feier who said she was a mistress in a magazine interview.

She even addressed Huang Xiaoming by his first name, starting with "Huang Xiaoming" and continuing to call him "Mr. Huang" throughout. She also mentioned that he told her he was single back then, which is quite interesting. She denies being a mistress, but if she really was "the other woman," then it's Huang Xiaoming's fault, not hers.
The tension and sense of impending conflict were palpable after that Weibo post was published!

It feels almost identical to a manifesto, so netizens are going crazy with laughter!

beat! beat! beat!
Let’s fight!

Of course, given that Yang Tianbao's public image isn't particularly good, even though she posted her "manifesto," there wasn't a one-sided online outcry or a situation where everyone joined in to condemn the scumbag man on her behalf.

At most, it's just that her entire fan base mobilized.

As a top-tier female celebrity, although she doesn't have many notable works, her face is indeed a very good asset, and she has a large following.

So the sight of the entire army launching an attack was quite intimidating.

While onlookers were enjoying the spectacle, quite a few also offered some "fair words":
Without Huang Xiaoming, you, Yang Tianbao, are nothing but a slut~
In a sense, this should be considered a prophetic statement!
However, such comments mainly occur on other public platforms. On Weibo, the stronghold of fan culture, the main users are female and it is also where they are most active. Huang Xiaoming's treatment is therefore quite obvious.

However, Huang Xiaoming is a respectable person after all. Even in the face of such a close call, he did not engage in a public online confrontation with his ex-wife.

And they responded very quickly.

The response was very standard. First, it naturally denied that Yang Tianbao was a mistress. The rest was just some platitudes, not very substantial, and certainly not as impactful as Yang Tianbao's "manifesto".

They didn't use the other person's full name like Yang Tianbao did, or address them as "Ms. Yang" or something similar.

Old Huang is still a decent man after all.
There was such a juicy piece of gossip to be had right after we got off the plane; it was enough to fill us up instantly.

Chen Duling and Zhou Ye made up on the spot, and the two girls chattered away, trying to guess more about the story behind it all.

They tried to deduce the true situation between Yang Tianbao and Huang Xiaoming.

They clearly didn't have many insider sources, so they found this whole thing quite novel.

Zhou Ye was a complete newbie. Although her boss was Li Bingbing, who was a longtime friend of Huang Xiaoming, she couldn't possibly ask her boss such a question.

As for Chen Duling, it can be explained by the fact that she's not doing very well, since her mother is the shareholder of the company behind her.

So the two of them discussed it for a long time but couldn't come to any conclusion; it was all just highly subjective speculation.

So, almost simultaneously, they both looked at Bai Liang, who was sitting in the front row of the van, and tried to ask to join in the gossip.

"Senior, you don't seem very surprised at all~"

"Huh? What's so surprising about that? You didn't know?"

"How could we possibly know that?"

"To be honest, I'm not really sure either. I'm just killing time anyway, so why don't I tell you?" Wu Jing surprisingly said this, which was quite unexpected.

Surprisingly, this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes is quite interested in gossip.

"You didn't know either?" Bai Liang was genuinely surprised this time.

Wu Jing shrugged. "I have no connection with that couple. We're not in the same circle. What could I possibly know?"

Makes sense!
But Bai Liang thought to himself, he, Huang Xiaoming, and Yang Tianbao weren't actually in the same circle.
The entertainment industry may seem like a small place, but it's actually full of circles and various cliques.

However, Bai Liang has been in contact with quite a few circles. In the past, he relied purely on good luck to get ahead, but after that, he became so powerful that others couldn't wait to pull him into those circles.

Bai Liang, in a sense, belongs to the Shanghai circle because he had a close relationship with Tang Ren in the early days.

Even online, many people think so. After all, Na Zha was involved in Bai Liang's debut career. The two were entangled in their first drama together, and later they almost signed with Tang Ren.

Oh right, Tangren's boss, Cai Yinong, told this story in an interview. It was about how she wanted to sign Bai Liang, but he "slapped" her civil service exam and judicial exam scores in the face.

At the time, I felt really pissed off, like there was nothing I could do about this kid, and I even secretly held a grudge.

But now, it has obviously become an amusing thing.

Sharing this will give everyone a laugh, add some novelty, and it can even help bring people closer together.

The Shanghai entertainment circle itself clearly had designs on Bai Liang, and the previous "Blossoms" was actually a way of showing goodwill and winning him over.

This film is actually an internal celebration within the Shanghai circle, mainly because it's made up of people from Shanghai.

Although Bai Liang is not from Shanghai, he is still in the Yangtze River Delta region, and his company pays taxes in Shanghai.

When Yanzi helped him get the role in the TV series "Blossoms," she even received another offer.

Someone hinted at the white magnolia
As one of the three major television awards in mainland China, alongside the Golden Eagle and Flying Apsaras Awards, the Magnolia Award is clearly quite prestigious. Bai Liang has already won the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actor, so he should probably start thinking about achieving a grand slam next, right?
Isn't that the same idea most actors have?

These awards, as everyone knows, are prestigious, but each also has its own hidden agendas.

Magnolia trees also suffer from local protectionism.

Even though a drama like "Blossoms" hasn't finished filming yet, everyone knows it will definitely be a huge success at the Magnolia Awards.

Yes, this thing isn't finished filming yet. If nothing unexpected happens, it won't be finished even after Bai Liang finishes filming the two parts of "The Battle at Lake Changjin".

Although Bai Liang eventually withdrew from "Blossoms Shanghai," Yanzi was quite capable. I don't know what she said to people or what kind of shady deal she made, but she did manage to get things done quite well with the Shanghai entertainment circle.

Relationships are things that are built up gradually, aren't they?
As for Bai Liang's relationship with Huang Xiaoming's Beijing circle...
"Brother Jing, you're the person I'm closest to in Beijing's social circle, aren't you?" Bai Liang said to Wu Jing with a grin, tilting his head. "I'm not with those people either."

Wu Jing denied it at first, but after thinking about it, he shook his head. It was really hard to say; the relationship was complicated.

After all, there are several factions within the Beijing elite circle.
He simply said, "Anyway, I don't have your connections, you seem to be able to associate with anyone."

"Nonsense, what relationship could I possibly have with Yang Tianbao and Master Huang?"

No sooner had Bai Liang finished speaking than his phone lit up in his hand!

Wu Jing glanced at it, a mysterious smile appearing on his face.

Dudu glanced at it too, and then she was dumbfounded.

When she looked up again, the way she looked at Bai Liang was really strange. You still say you're not familiar with him?

Damn it, Yang Tianbao only posted on Weibo a short while ago, and he's already contacted you?
At this ambiguous juncture, let alone having some relationship or knowing each other, it's not impossible that Bai Liang is Yang Tianbao's lover!

Thinking even deeper, everyone can now guess that Yang Tianbao and Huang Xiaoming are only superficially together, or have already divorced, but are "keeping their deaths a secret."

So, these two didn't part ways because of Bai Liang, did they?!

Thinking hard!
Of course, Dudu wasn't jealous at all.

After all, she already knew quite well how much of a womanizer her senior was. What was Yang Tianbao compared to her? A divorced old woman?
Other heavyweight contenders are more worthy of her attention and concern.

Seeing that Dudu's gaze was becoming increasingly strange, and even a smile was creeping onto her lips, Bai Liang glanced at his phone screen and could guess what she was imagining.

That's really unfair. Master Bai did have a few more romantic encounters, but he's definitely not some traitor like Cao Cao.

Yang Tianbao and Huang Xiaoming did not have an affair while they were still married, and they did not have an affair after they divorced.

To be precise, Yang Tianbao did try to seduce Bai Liang, but she was first thwarted by her "good sister" Miao Zong, also known as Ni Ni, in Japan, and then she was further prevented by Na Zha Dan who rushed over!
That was the most irritable thing that happened to Nazha; he directly broke off relations with Yang Tianbao and started cursing at him!

This effectively "dissuaded" Yang Tianbao, who had some reservations, from getting back to the point that he hasn't caused any trouble with Bai Liang since. Apart from sending some holiday greetings via text message, the two haven't had much contact.

So, Bai Liang was also a little curious as to why Yang Tianbao was sending him a message at this time.
But before that, we can satisfy the curiosity of the girls and the Wolf Warriors.

"I saw Yang Tianbao once on a show before, almost a year ago. At that time, things were probably already not going well between her and Huang Xiaoming, but I didn't know if they had divorced. Now that she's making these kinds of comments online, it's highly likely that they have gotten a divorce certificate."

"Brother, how did you know something was wrong with them?" Zhou Ye, the cheerful little red dog, seemed to have become quite clever, and immediately spotted the blind spot.

This is indeed a bit troublesome; Bai Liang can't very well say that the other party once flirtatiously asked him to drink sugar water, can he?
Bai Liang is very good at keeping his mouth shut and almost never reveals other people's private matters.

The wicked kitten once tried to trick him into revealing information on the bed, but all attempts ended in failure.

So he simply chose to tell a little lie about this.

"Miao and she are best friends. Miao told me that."

"And who is 'Miao Zong'?"

“Ni Ni”.

Hmm. That makes a lot of sense!

However, looking at everyone's expressions, Bai Liang felt that something was not quite right.

Sure enough, Wu Jing, the most direct one, had already started stroking his chin, muttering, "Not even a couple?"

Bai Liang:
Character design is really something else.

This is similar to how in "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils," whenever a beautiful married woman or a young man who can't find his father appears, everyone thinks it's inextricably linked to Duan Zhengchun.

Their reputation is solid!

Bai Liang's current reputation is that everyone has too much faith in his charm.

It seems that they have reached the point of blindly believing, even overriding his image as an honest and reliable little wolf.

Even after he said that, some people still don't believe him!

Not only did Wu Jing not believe it, but Dudu also seemed not to believe it either. However, the smile on her face didn't have any sarcastic tone; she just thought, "Senior is really tight-lipped!"

Only Zhou Ye believed it, and seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Happy puppy is happy again!

Bai Liang also glanced at the text message Yang Tianbao had sent him.

There wasn't anything weird or explosive inside, nor was there anything like a hotel room number.

I just asked him if he had arrived in Xiamen, and if he wanted to have a drink together that night to catch up.

I don't know why, but there seems to be a sense of melancholy in the plain and simple words.

Upon closer examination, this should be attributed to the fact that she appears to be a grieving woman who has "just gotten divorced."

Although Yang Tianbao's professional acting skills have remained consistently poor over the past decade, she is indeed quite remarkable in certain aspects.

Without using any strange or provocative language, they can create a certain atmosphere simply by taking advantage of the environment and their own situation.

This is how Bai Liang imagined it, and he thought it was quite reasonable.

It wasn't that he was narcissistic or anything, but rather that Yang Tianbao wanted to catch up with him.
What old ties do the two have to reminisce about?
Should we talk about how she was called an old woman by that woman, or should we "reminisce" about Wu Moufan, who recorded a program with her back then and is now working as a sewing machine operator?
I feel like that's about all we can talk about. The only things left are relationship issues.

Talking about this stuff, especially with the added influence of alcohol, can easily lead to ending up in a hotel room and having sex.

Bai Liang naturally declined the invitation, as he had Chen Duling and Zhou Ye to keep him company.

There's no need to go out and provoke a divorced woman.

However, Bai Liang was kind-hearted after all, and he reciprocated by inviting her to his subsequent celebration banquet.

Yang Tianbao, on the other end of the phone, was quite happy after receiving Bai Liang's reply. He didn't show any of the "manifesto" he posted online, which suggested he was ready to tear off all pretenses. He was beaming!

However, she was a little confused after seeing the message.

A victory celebration banquet? What victory celebration banquet?
