Who taught you to be a celebrity like this?

"He is..."

Yan Tao inexplicably felt a sense of déjà vu about this scene.

As soon as he spoke, Li Ye also spoke up: "Hello, my name is Li Ye, and I'm a newcomer."

He then smiled and nodded to Sun Hui and Fang Xueying.

"Sit down and order a drink first," Sun Hui said with a smile and waved.

He was too lazy to get involved in Wang Haoyang and Li Ye's affairs, but he couldn't let Li Ye stand idly by, otherwise he would be seen as being in cahoots with Wang Haoyang.

Wang Haoyang gritted his teeth, but dared not say anything more.

Li Ye and the other two sat down.

This is an oval table that can seat seven or eight people.

"The cocktails here are good, you should try them."

Sitting opposite Li Ye, Fang Xueying, who was next to Wang Haoyang, kindly recommended Li Ye.

"Okay, thank you." Li Ye ordered a lemonade and asked for extra ice.

At this moment, Wang Haoyang spoke again, a mocking smile playing on his lips: "Brother Li Ye, may I ask if you're an actor or a singer? What works do you have?"

Sun Hui and Fang Xueying remained silent.

This is a personal matter; they are not familiar with either side, so there is no reason for them to interfere.

It might be better to lay things out on the table first; otherwise, if things go wrong during the recording of the show, it will be even harder to handle.

Yan Tao had just picked up his cup to drink some water when he quickly put it down: "Ah Ye is still a newcomer..."

"A newcomer? You mean he has no work whatsoever? He doesn't even know if he's an actor or a singer?"

Wang Haoyang had no intention of giving Yan Tao any face. His expression turned completely cold, and he stared into Li Ye's eyes, saying in a chilling voice, "You're really something. My friend was about to sign the contract, and you managed to take his place."

Sun Hui tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

He had read Li Ye's profile and knew that Li Ye had only acted in one web series.

At the same time, we also saw some negative public opinion surrounding Li Ye, but these are secondary.

The crucial point is that Li Ye didn't even play an important role in that web series.

It's fair to say that Li Ye is an incredibly unconventional newcomer; if you call him a celebrity online, netizens would laugh at you.

At the time, he thought Li Ye was someone promoted by some big capital, but after investigating, he found out that Li Ye's biggest backer was Fanxing.

The artist who was originally replaced belongs to the same company as Wang Haoyang, Shenghuang Entertainment, and is much more powerful than Fanxing.

The web series that Li Ye starred in after his debut also shows that he really doesn't have any powerful backers.

So, how exactly did Li Ye manage to do it?

Fang Xueying kept her face tense, trying her best to control her expression.

She only just found out about Li Ye's situation!

"Damn it, I finally got to record a show, and this has to happen to me." Fang Xueying cursed inwardly.

She had no problem with Li Ye or Wang Haoyang, but she was annoyed by being caught in the middle. She wished she had just slept in the hotel room.

Li Ye stopped Zhang Hai and Yan Tao, who were about to speak, looked earnestly into Wang Haoyang's eyes, and said sincerely, "I'm sorry."

This is a provocation, this must be a provocation, right?

"You're still apologizing?"

Wang Haoyang couldn't even believe his ears; he wondered if he had misheard.

"Yes, I'm really sorry," Li Ye continued sincerely.

He had no idea what he had done wrong.

But in the end, he simply replaced someone else's position.

So no matter how he explained, it was all in vain in Wang Haoyang's eyes, and he might as well just apologize.

Li Ye's apology shocked not only Wang Haoyang, the person involved, but also the bystanders.

No one could have predicted that things would turn out this way.

You could say Li Ye's attitude was tough, but his sincere demeanor didn't seem fake.

If you say he's admitting defeat, it doesn't look like he's admitting defeat at all.

Sun Hui debuted at the age of ten and has been in the entertainment industry for over thirty years, believing he has seen it all.

He had never seen such a scene before, and couldn't help but glance at Li Ye a few more times.

"You stole the opportunity that others worked so hard to get, and you think you can just brush it off with a flimsy apology?" After a long silence, Wang Haoyang finally regained his ability to organize his thoughts.

Li Ye simply said, "I sincerely apologize."

If you keep acting up, I'm going to have to reason with you!

What's all this talk about scrambling? Aren't opportunities earned through hard work?

Li Ye didn't resort to any underhanded tactics.

The director has his eye on him; what can he do?

"Are you kidding me?" Wang Haoyang stood up angrily.

"Calm down, Haoyu."

Seeing Wang Haoyang's anger rising, Sun Hui spoke up to calm him down: "I can tell that Aye is sincere and has no other intentions."

Not only that, he could also tell that Li Ye wasn't apologizing at all; he was clearly just too lazy to argue with Wang Haoyang.

Wang Haoyang felt the same way. He wasn't really angry at first, but now his face was flushed with anger.

Sun Hui spoke up, and Wang Haoyang knew he had no choice but to suppress his anger. He could only say, "Everyone, I'm going back to rest now."

"I'm sorry, teachers." After Wang Haoyang left, Li Ye apologized again to the other person.

However, his apology this time was heartfelt, after all, as one of the parties involved, he made others feel very uncomfortable.

"No need to call me teacher, I'm older than you, just call me Brother Hui."

Fang Xueying echoed, "Yes, you can just call me Xueying too."

"Okay, Brother Hui, Xueying."

After agreeing on how to address him, Li Ye was about to ask Zhang Hai how his days of fun had gone when Sun Hui suddenly teased, "So, Li Ye, are you an actor or a singer?"

Li Ye was able to sense that he meant no harm and replied, "I will pursue a career as a singer in the future."

"From what you're saying, you already have an album ready for release?"

"It's just a single, it will be released in a couple of days."

"The Daily Life of Celebrities" will be available on Tencent Video the day after tomorrow afternoon.

"Okay, let me know when the time comes, and I'll help you promote it." Sun Hui smiled. He thought Li Ye was quite interesting and was willing to do this small favor.

Fang Xueying also said, "I can help you share this."

"Thank you, teachers." Li Ye didn't know how helpful it would be, but he was still extremely happy.

......

Wang Haoyang was in a terrible mood.

His purpose was not simply to intimidate Li Ye, but to genuinely isolate him on the show.

He originally intended to use the fact that Li Ye had stolen his friend's opportunity to make others dislike Li Ye.

After all, in this line of work, who hasn't either taken resources from others or had resources taken from them?

As beneficiaries, they naturally overlook the fact that they have also taken resources from others, but they inevitably feel sorry for those whose resources were taken from them.

Unexpectedly, Sun Hui and Fang Xueying didn't react much, and Wang Haoyang was so angry with Li Ye that he lost his mind.

As soon as Wang Haoyang stepped out of the bar, he saw Gu Xiaoyu walking out of the elevator like a star surrounded by admirers. The gloom on his face instantly disappeared, replaced by a smile.

"Xiaoyu!" Wang Haoyang called out. They had worked together on a game called GG before.

Upon seeing Wang Haoyang, Gu Xiaoyu immediately dismissed the staff around her: "That's enough, you can all go do your own things, don't follow me."

"Wang Haoyang, where are the others?"

Gu Xiaoyu approached Wang Haoyang, her voice tinged with excitement. This was her first time recording a slow-paced variety show, and also her first time recording a program as a regular guest.

At this moment, she was eager to meet new friends.

"They're at the water bar."

Then, Wang Haoyang looked hesitant, "There's something I'm not sure if I should tell you..."

"What's up? Tell me!" Gu Xiaoyu said casually.

"That Li Ye..."

Wang Haoyang recounted the whole story and informed Li Ye of the apology.

He wasn't criticizing Li Ye to Gu Xiaoyu, but rather expressing that he couldn't accept being insincere with Li Ye for the time being.

"I'm sorry."

"What?"

"No, I meant 'sorry' is useless!"

Gu Xiaoyu spoke with righteous indignation, but she felt a little uneasy inside.

Wang Haoyang has finally found the right person.

Gu Xiaoyu's debut role was one she stole from someone else.

Moreover, she knew even earlier than Wang Haoyang that Li Ye would be participating in the program.
