A person in Wuha: The whole internet is urging me to get back together with my ex!

Bang bang bang!

A sudden, violent knocking on the door abruptly shattered the cozy atmosphere that had just settled in the room.

Chen Ye was leaning against the headboard, plotting how to bring down the South Korean entertainment company, when the loud noises nearly broke the cigarette in his hand.

Chen Ye rolled his eyes.

This old man is quite old, but he has more energy than a dog.

He threw off the covers, slipped on his flip-flops, walked to the entryway, and flung open the bedroom door.

The door had barely opened a crack when Tao Zhe rushed in.

"Are you alright, Yezi?!" Tao Zhe grabbed Chen Ye's arm, his eyes wide with surprise.

"What could possibly happen to me? I'm not missing any arms or legs." Chen Ye shook off his hand, his face full of helplessness.

"I saw all that rubbish on Weibo last night!" Tao Zhe said angrily, spinning around twice on the spot, speaking so fast it sounded like he was rapping.

"Those bastards who hired online trolls are outrageous! They actually used your background to make a fuss! How could our relationship be what they say online?"

Tao Zhe was so anxious that he kept slapping his thigh, his face turning red and his neck thick.

"I woke up this morning and checked my phone, and I was absolutely furious! I was about to take out my phone to post on Weibo to give you a piece of my mind, but Jielun and Lihong stopped me!"

Chen Ye raised an eyebrow and walked to the small bar to pour himself a glass of water.

"Why are you being held down?"

"Jerlen said those online trolls aren't worthy of our verbal sparring," Tao Zhe snorted, looking extremely smug.

"He said that once our collaborative album is released tonight, those emo ballads will skyrocket to the top of the charts, and we'll slap those haters in the face with a masterpiece—that's the best counterattack!"

Tao Zhe unleashed a barrage of machine-gun-like attacks, and Chen Ye couldn't get a single word in edgewise.

Looking at the R&B godfather jumping up and down in anger, Chen Ye felt quite pleased.

These music industry bigwigs may seem aloof and high-class in public, but they are actually very protective and loyal to their own people in private.

Chen Ye raised his water glass, took a sip, and grinned.

"Thanks, Brother Zhe, I appreciate it."

Tao Zhe waved his hand dismissively and patted Chen Ye on the shoulder casually.

"Thanks my foot! If we're brothers, we'll be there for you anytime this happens! We'll be there to fight for you in no time!"

Tao Zhe was relieved to see that Chen Ye was not only not listless, but also had a rosy complexion.

"Alright, as long as you're lively and energetic, that's good. I'm going downstairs to find Old Deng for some food, I'm starving!"

After saying that, Tao Zhe turned around, opened the door, and rushed out in a flurry.

Chen Ye chuckled softly.

He casually picked up his phone from the bedside table, opened WeChat, and found the chat boxes with Zhou Jielun, Lin Junjie, and Wang Leehom.

I sent each of the three a simple thank-you message.

Regardless, they stayed up late to pay attention to public opinion and discuss countermeasures; we should appreciate that gesture.

Ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong.

After three consecutive notification sounds, these three old fogies actually replied instantly.

Jay Chou: Hey, not bad! It's no big deal. I'll ask you to play ball in a few days.

Wang Leehom: There's no need for such talk between brothers; your talent is the best source of confidence.

Lin Junjie: No need for words of gratitude, just write me two more divine songs next time!

Chen Ye stared at his phone screen, his lips twitching repeatedly.

Lin Junjie, that kid, never stops talking about taking advantage of others; he's figured out everything about him.

However, upon further reflection, Chen Ye's expression turned strange.

Midnight tonight.

The legendary album "King of Love Songs," which brings together five Heavenly Kings and is so depressing it'll send chills down your spine, is about to be released.

Adding to the public outcry caused by Deng Chao, Chen He, and Lu Han flipping the table and starting a group fight in the middle of the night yesterday, the eyes of the entire internet are probably on him now.

If these two terrifying surges of traffic collide in the early morning...

Chen Ye rubbed his chin and gasped.

The meager servers are likely to suffer another major blow.

The programmer on Weibo had just fixed the crashed system a few days ago, and tonight he might actually buy a plane ticket, grab a knife, and come after him through the internet to fight him to the death.

"Forgive me, fellow programmers, blame these netizens for being too idle." Chen Ye made the sign of the cross on his chest without any sincerity.

Just as Chen Ye was pondering.

Dang dang dang.

There was another knock on the door.

"Is my house a tourist attraction? Everyone's come to take photos here!"

Chen Ye muttered something as he walked over and opened the door.

Three familiar faces stood outside the door.

Zheng Kai, Li Chen, and Baby.

The three people stood neatly in the corridor.

"Hey, are you standing outside like a doorman? Come in and sit down." Chen Ye stepped aside and waved to the three of them.

The three of them shoved each other a little and slowly moved into the house.

Chen Ye slumped onto the sofa, looking at the three of them who seemed to want to say something but couldn't, and found it amusing.

"What's wrong? So early in the morning?"

Zheng Kai and Baby exchanged a glance, then turned their gaze to Li Chen, the oldest among them.

Li Chen rubbed his rough hands together, his old face visibly turning red, and it took him a long time to finally manage to utter a sentence.

"Um... Ono, we've seen all the nonsense those trolls are spouting online." Li Chen's voice was a little hoarse. "Don't take it to heart, those people are just jealous."

Upon hearing this, the other two seemed to receive a signal and immediately began firing off messages like crazy.

"That's right!" Zheng Kai slapped his thigh. "Yezi, don't worry, we're all brothers. If you need anything, just say so. If anyone dares to mess with you again, we'll all tear them apart!"

Baby nodded repeatedly beside her.

"Yeah, Ono, don't keep it to yourself. Just ask if you need any help!"

Chen Ye leaned back on the sofa, quietly watching the three old members who were nervous because his background had been exposed.

He really wanted to laugh.

Before transmigrating, I was an orphan on Earth, and I'm still an orphan after transmigrating.

He's used to struggling on his own, and he's pretty thick-skinned, but now these people are treating him like a fragile glass doll.

However, the fact that these seasoned veterans of the entertainment industry were able to rush to offer their support the moment the scandal broke shows that they truly didn't consider him an outsider.

"Alright, alright, put away your sympathy." Chen Ye waved his hand, his smile full of roguish charm.

"Don't you all know who I, Chen Ye, am? Do you think I'd let a few stray dogs from outside the internet break through my defenses?"

Chen Ye stood up and patted Li Chen's strong shoulder.

"Don't worry, Brother Chen, if I really need help, I'll shamelessly try to scam you guys."

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Chen Ye not only showed no sign of sadness, but was even joking around.

Zheng Kai resumed his usual carefree, grinning demeanor.

"Hey, I knew you were easygoing. Alright then, shall we go to a restaurant for a meal together?"

Chen Ye glanced towards the bedroom.

"You guys go ahead, Yuqi is still washing up inside, I'll wait for her to come with me."

"Ugh, this is so cloying. We'll head out now, see you at the restaurant!"

Zheng Kai rubbed the goosebumps on his arms playfully, and the three of them laughed as they walked out of the room.

Chen Ye sat back down on the sofa and picked up his phone.

The lock screen is completely filled with WeChat messages.

Besides those few people from earlier, all the people in the Chinese entertainment industry who were close to him sent their greetings.

Teacher He sent him a long voice message to encourage him.

Huang Lei posted a concise message, indicating that if someone had the resources to cause trouble, he could step in and resolve the situation.

Huang Bo is the most down-to-earth.

This wealthy woman from Qingdao transferred 1,000 yuan directly, adding a note: "Use this to buy ribs. Don't bother reading those stupid comments online."

Chen Ye accepted Huang Bo's money without hesitation and sent thanks and jokes to each of these big shots.

He was typing on the keyboard when the bedroom door was pushed open.

Song Yuqi walked out with wet, wine-red hair and the scent of shower gel on her body.

She changed into a fitted sportswear outfit and put on light, clear makeup, which made her look youthful and energetic with a touch of girl group sophistication.

"Honey, who was talking outside just now?" Song Yuqi asked as she combed her hair and sat down next to Chen Ye.

Chen Ye put his arm around her shoulder and recounted how Tao Zhe and Zheng Kai had come to offer their help.

After listening, Song Yuqi nodded in agreement.

"My brothers are really good friends."

Chen Ye smiled and hummed in agreement, but his eyes lit up as his thoughts drifted to something else.

Wait a moment.

I just announced yesterday that I'm going to start an entertainment company, and I'm worried that I don't have any capable people at my disposal.

The young, wealthy woman in front of me is one of them.

What about Reba?

Chen Ye's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and his mind was racing with calculations.

Dilraba must have been very worried about the company these past few years.

Most importantly, Lu Han's mind is now completely occupied by Dilraba, and he's thinking about how to pursue her all the time.

If only we could spend a lot of money to poach Dilraba from our "Rainy Night Stars Entertainment" team.

That kid Lu Han will not only be a devoted laborer for me, but he will even bring his own food and help the company by paying out of pocket.

Get a top-tier celebrity for free, and then tie yourself to an already famous young actress.

This deal is a great bargain.

"What are you muttering to yourself over there?" Song Yuqi nudged Chen Ye with her elbow as he watched his eyes darting around.

"Nothing much, just thought of a great way to make money." Chen Ye grabbed Song Yuqi's hand, pulled her to her feet, and said, "Come on, let's fill our stomachs. Today, I'm going to pull off a big heist!"

The two held hands, pushed open the door, and strolled towards the restaurant on the second floor of the cruise ship.

As soon as I reached the restaurant entrance, a noisy commotion erupted.

Chen Ye pushed open the door.

At a huge, long dining table, a group of people were eating ravenously without any regard for appearances.

Chen He had a big steamed bun stuffed in his mouth, his cheeks bulging like a hamster's. Deng Chao was wrestling with a steak with a fork. Zheng Kai and Li Chen were still arguing over the last basket of shrimp dumplings.

Tao Zhe, Deng Ziqi, Wang Mian, and Baby sat at the other end, eating and chatting.

Chen Ye pulled Song Yuqi to an empty seat and sat down.

He picked up a glass of milk, took a sip, and glanced around the table.

Suddenly, Chen Ye raised an eyebrow.

I was just thinking about how to scheme against someone, and now my target has vanished into thin air.

He put down his cup, tapped the table with his finger, and shouted at Deng Chao, who was struggling with his steak across from him.

"Hey, Chao Ge."

Deng Chao raised his head blankly, a little black pepper sauce still on the corner of his mouth.

Chen Ye leaned back in his chair.

"Where are Lu Han and Dilraba?"
