Who taught you to be a celebrity like this?

Before the agent could say anything, Liu Chun hurriedly explained, "My relationship with A-Ye is better than you think. He would never be angry about these things."

As Li Ye's only friend during his pre-fame days, Liu Chun was confident that as long as he explained, Li Ye would not say anything more.

Even if Li Ye's reputation improves in the future and Liu Chun is purged by Li Ye's fans, he only needs to interact with Li Ye to quell the negative impact.

"If you believe me, don't take this for granted. Go and explain things to Li Ye as soon as possible."

What Liu Chun's attitude towards Li Ye was not important to the agent; he only reminded Liu Chun because of their working relationship.

Having said that, the agent continued, "You'll be joining the production team in a couple of days, so get some rest. This is a resource you found yourself, and the company promised you it. I'll try my best to secure it. I'm leaving now."

Shortly after the agent left, Liu Chun received a phone call.

He was a little confused. The cooperation had already been agreed upon, so wasn't it supposed to be that they wouldn't contact each other anymore?

"It's a pleasure working with you, but I have a question: Is Li Chengsong really Li Ye's father?"

"Yeah, what else?"

"But what I know is different from what you know. Li Chengsong is Li Ye's uncle."

Upon hearing this, Liu Chun was completely bewildered, yet a chill ran down his spine, and he instinctively asked, "How is that possible?"

"Alright, our cooperation ends here. We don't need to contact each other again."

After the call ended, Liu Chun, still in the position of having just answered the phone, remained bewildered and uncertain.

On the other side, Yang Zhenzhen, who had been listening to her assistant answer the phone the whole time, pouted with some disappointment: "I thought there was some big gossip I didn't know about. It seems that Liu Chun and Li Ye aren't that close."

"Sister Zhenzhen, all the resources we've secured for Liu Chun are documented. What if he can't handle the pressure and tells Li Ye..." the assistant said with some concern.

"No, doing that won't do him any good. He'd probably be even more eager for Li Ye to die than we are. That's just human nature." Yang Zhenzhen said with a mocking smile.

The assistant hesitated for a moment and said, "But at most, what we're doing will only affect Li Ye's reputation. Didn't Teacher Xiao Qi say that Li Ye's albums are of very high quality? Once Li Ye releases his album, won't all our efforts be in vain?"

"What professional musicians say may not be what the general public thinks. What if his album gets a bad reception? Besides, reputation is built up over time. Once someone is labeled, it's hard to shake off those labels. Nobody can have a smooth life forever, right?"

Based on Li Ye's performance in the previous three songs, Yang Zhenzhen herself didn't really believe in the possibility of this happening.

She also knew that wasting these resources to exchange for Liu Chun's exposure of Li Ye was a huge loss.

However, she was determined to seize these opportunities as much as possible.

Yang Zhenzhen's assistant, who had worked for her for many years, remained silent. She knew about the feud between Yang Zhenzhen and Ding Yan, but to be honest, she couldn't understand why Yang Zhenzhen would harbor such malice towards Ding Yan.

......

The public attention surrounding Li Ye had already subsided considerably, but due to Liu Chun's live stream, Li Ye has once again been thrust into the spotlight.

The marketing accounts were the ones who really enjoyed Liu Chun's live stream.

Because there's no need to painstakingly take things out of context, and no need to worry about receiving a lawyer's letter from Wildfire Studio, you can easily complete the task by simply cutting and pasting Liu Chun's live stream recording.

To put it another way, Liu Chun's live stream clips were all about creating drama for Li Ye.

And these kinds of comments will be used by Li Ye's haters to help them gain traffic.

Li Ye's haters are absolutely furious.

They assumed that Li Ye's lack of response was due to fear and a choice to ignore the issue, and that Li Ye must regret posting that Weibo message.

But what is the truth?

Li Ye was completely unaffected and even went surfing happily.

Is this something a human being could do?

Li Ye, you have no heart!

I work so hard every day, racking my brains to smear and curse you, and you really don't even feel it?!

Li Ye's haters are filled with boundless hatred for him, and those who turned against him after leaving the fandom have shown even greater "power" than they did on the day they left the fandom.

Fans of rival groups, trolls, and even paid trolls also joined in the frenzy.

As a result, all sorts of live stream clips and smear articles flooded the internet.

In particular, Liu Chun's subtle expression and answer when responding to a netizen's question, "Did Li Ye actually write his own songs?" drew the attention of many outsiders in the music industry.

In an instant, what were initially just doubts turned into strong skepticism.

Of course, no one dares to say things like "These songs weren't written by Li Ye himself."

But now, there's a growing sense that if Li Ye doesn't come out and answer or explain, he won't be able to clear his name.

Even many netizens who don't follow the entertainment industry have become interested in this matter and have been influenced by public opinion.

I was initially quite happy that another promising singer-songwriter had emerged in the Chinese music scene, but now it seems there's more to the story!

[No, I've looked at a lot of clips. Is this Liu Chun really Li Ye's friend? It seems like he and Li Ye have a grudge. But with all this drama lately, Li Ye hasn't responded. Maybe someone really has something on him?]

[Well, I believe Li Ye could write "The Ordinary Road," after all, he is indeed a person who loves freedom and has a different mindset, but "Fiber," a song that approaches the subject from a woman's delicate perspective, is indeed a bit difficult to explain.]

[It's alright, many male authors can still write very compelling female characters, right? But with such a huge public outcry right now, Li Ye really needs to respond to clear his name.]

This wave of events is significant and has clearly affected Li Ye; it seems everyone is waiting for Li Ye's response.

......

Meanwhile, Li Ye had already returned to Guangzhou overnight before the typhoon arrived.

"Brother, have some soup!"

When Li Ye returned home, Li Xiran obediently and sensibly went to the kitchen and brought him a bowl of slow-cooked soup.

While her brother was drinking soup, she got up and went behind him to massage his shoulders and back.

Seeing this, Li Chengsong was about to make a joke, but Ding Yan glared at him, so he could only clear his throat and get down to business.

"Ah Ye, about Liu Chun, what are you planning to do...?"

Speaking of this, Li Chengsong's expression was strange. He had met Liu Chun two or three times, but he never expected that the other party would mistake him for Li Ye's father.

On the way back, Li Ye received many phone calls and learned the whole story.

"We can talk about other things tomorrow, but no matter how much Liu Chun apologizes to you, ignore him and delete him."

Ding Yan pushed her incompetent husband away and said in a somewhat forceful tone, "Learn from your mistakes. Be more careful when making friends in the future."

"I understand, Auntie." Li Ye didn't intend to do as she said, but he knew what he couldn't argue about.

Seeing that Ding Yan seemed hesitant to speak, Li Chengsong quickly grabbed her shoulder and pushed her into the room. He then turned to the two siblings in the living room and said, "Alright, alright, go back to sleep. Aye, finish your soup and go to bed early."
