A person in Wuha: The whole internet is urging me to get back together with my ex!
Chapter 124 Tearing Name Tags: Is There an Undercover Agent?
Back on deck.
Chen Ye briefly recounted the story to Deng Chao and Chen He.
"It's nothing really. I just called that outlaw and asked him to handle Dilraba's contract," Chen Ye said casually, his tone as natural as if he were talking about what to have for dinner.
Deng Chao stopped rubbing his eyes.
Chen He was also stunned.
"Holy crap!" Deng Chao's eyes widened as he looked at Chen Ye as if he were a monster.
"Yezi, are you really going this way now?"
"Who in the industry doesn't know what kind of people run those entertainment companies?"
"Those legal staff are like a pack of vicious dogs that won't let go of the smell of blood!"
"You settled things with just a few phone calls?"
Deng Chao could hardly believe his ears.
That's a dead end with a two-year default period, and no amount of capital dares to easily get involved in such a mess.
Chen Ye rolled his eyes and put his hands back in his pockets.
"Those rotten apples and rotten apples don't even deserve to be called legal counsel?"
"Zhang San directly exploited their dual contracts and tax loopholes."
"Zeng Lin is now only hoping to avoid further trouble by paying a fine, so he obediently handed over the termination agreement."
Chen Ye concealed the fact that the breach of contract penalty and compensation amounted to 230 million yuan during the process.
The main concern was that these older men with heart conditions might faint on the spot.
At this moment, Dilraba slowly walked over.
Her eyes were red and swollen, and the tip of her nose was pink, like a rabbit that had just been frightened.
But the oppression and heaviness that had been emanating from her had completely dissipated.
"Xiao Di, congratulations on escaping your misery!" Deng Chao was the first to react, striding forward to pat Reba on the shoulder.
"From now on, follow Ye Zi, and let's see who dares to mess with you behind your back!"
"Yeah, yeah, that lousy company should have run away a long time ago!" Chen He chimed in.
He winked and glanced at Lu Han, who was standing behind Reba.
"Little Deer, you'll have to treat us to something this time."
"If we work together in the future, you'd better keep a close eye on them and make sure they don't suffer any more grievances."
Lu Han was already in a state of excitement, and upon hearing Chen He's words, she immediately straightened her head and puffed out her chest.
Song Yuqi stepped forward, took Reba's hand, and smiled brightly.
"Sister Dilraba, that's great! We'll be working in the same company from now on!"
"If Yezi dares to exploit you, just tell me, and I'll pull his ear for you!"
Dilraba sniffed and burst out laughing.
She nodded emphatically.
The group of people laughed and joked as they returned to the second-floor restaurant.
The leftover food on the table had been cleaned up by the staff.
Just as everyone was preparing to go back to their rooms to catch up on sleep, Wang Zhengyu came out whistling.
Good morning, everyone!
Old Wang cleared his throat, his face plastered with a fake business smile.
"Alright, Lao Wang, just say what you have to say." Chen Ye slumped in his chair, completely unmoved by his words.
Wang Zhengyu ignored Chen Ye's complaints and raised the megaphone.
"According to the flight schedule, we should arrive at our destination tonight."
"Since we've been on the ship for most of the day, we might as well just sit here and do nothing."
"Now please move to a room and we'll play a relaxing and fun game."
Upon hearing the words "mini-games," everyone's radars went off instantly.
Defense level is maxed out.
"Old Wang," Zheng Kai leaned back in his chair, arms crossed, "tell me honestly, is this 'little game' you're talking about really a little game?"
"Yeah!" Chen He patted his round belly, his face full of resistance.
"Based on my experience of being scammed by your production team."
"The 'little game' that Old Wang was talking about, translated, is pure torture!"
Li Chen chimed in gruffly.
"Last time he said he'd play a lighthearted game, but it turned out to be a water gun game, and the loser had to eat herring!"
Everyone agreed wholeheartedly.
In this tense and defensive atmosphere, only Deng Ziqi, sitting on the far side, blinked his big eyes.
She raised her hand in confusion.
"Huh? But before I came, Director Wang told me on the phone that the game segment was particularly healthy."
"So, everyone's just having tea, chatting, and enjoying the scenery, right?"
The scene fell silent.
"Hahahaha!" Chen Ye couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"You're so funny, Ziqi." Chen Ye looked at Deng Ziqi as if he were an idiot.
"You're really something else to believe Old Wang's lying mouth."
"When he says he'll give you tea, he probably means he wants you to drink water from the Yangtze River."
Deng Ziqi was stunned, his mouth slightly open.
Wang Zhengyu, without batting an eye, desperately tried to save face.
"What are you doing?! Where is the most basic trust between people?"
"Our program has always been known for its heartwarming stories!"
He whistled loudly.
"Hurry up, stop dawdling! Everyone, get up to the fifth floor!"
Everyone rolled their eyes, slowly made their way out of the restaurant, and took the elevator to the fifth floor of the cruise ship.
As soon as the door opened, the staff led everyone into a huge, luxurious suite with a fantastic view.
The circular sofa inside is large enough to accommodate about ten people.
A fruit platter and drinks were placed on the coffee table.
As soon as everyone sat down, Wang Zhengyu took out his personal megaphone and stood in front of them.
"As everyone knows, the original intention of our show 'Five Ha' was to experience life."
Wang Zhengyu had a heartbroken expression on his face.
"However, our program is currently facing a shortage of travel funds..."
"Eek~~"
The entire stadium erupted in a unified chorus of boos.
"Old Wang, have you no shame?" Chen Ye fired back from the sofa.
"No wonder you and Yan Min are such good brothers; you're even shrewdly alike!"
"Are you two sharing the same script? Can't you come up with a fresh excuse?"
The live stream chat exploded instantly.
"Hahaha, Wild Boy goes all out with his face on the line! Director Yan's reputation is being ruined!"
Yan Min: I'm just lying at home and I still get shot?!
Director Yan: Tonight we're going to assassinate Wang Zhengyu! Who dares say I'm stingy!
"Upstairs, Director Yan also secretly met Chen Ye tonight."
Despite the boos from the audience and Chen Ye's sharp tongue, Wang Zhengyu remained unfazed.
"No matter how much you protest, the lack of funding is an objective fact."
"You'll have to earn your own travel and food expenses from now on."
He pulled an envelope with the words "Wu Ha" printed on it from his pocket and waved it in front of everyone.
"The next game involves searching for envelopes with the program's logo in various areas from the second to the fifth floor."
"Finding one will increase the team's travel fund by 1,000 yuan."
"If we can find all the hidden envelopes, we'll arrange a lavish dinner as soon as we disembark tonight!"
Upon hearing the word "luxury feast," Chen He's eyes lit up instantly.
"But!" Wang Zhengyu changed the subject.
"If you ultimately find fewer than five envelopes, all your existing assets will be wiped out upon disembarkation!"
"Back to the budget travel mode of eating and sleeping outdoors!"
"Holy crap, that's ruthless!" Zheng Kai sat up abruptly.
"It's not over yet," Old Wang continued.
"During the search, men in black will interfere with you."
"If you're attacked by the men in black, it's like having your name tag ripped off—you're eliminated immediately!"
"and……"
Wang Zhengyu deliberately dragged out his words and scanned the crowd.
"There is an undercover agent among you..."
The word "undercover agent" was uttered.
The atmosphere in the room changed instantly.
The brothers who were just moments ago inseparable began to sizing each other up.
"What are you looking at? It's definitely not me." Chen He immediately shrank into the corner of the sofa.
"Old Deng, you were smiling at me the whole time, wasn't that you?" Li Chen stared intently at Deng Chao.
"Bullshit! You're so dark-skinned, you'd be the one hiding when you're undercover!" Deng Chao retorted.
Amidst this mutual suspicion, Tao Zhe weakly raised his hand.
His face was a little pale.
"Um... Old Wang, if we don't find the envelope, we won't have dinner tonight."
"Can I request to withdraw from the recording now?"
Tao Zhe looked bitter. He was the godfather of R&B, so why should he suffer hunger and cold with these people?
"Oh! NO!! Brother Zhe!" Deng Chao shouted exaggeratedly.
He grabbed Tao Zhe's leg and acted like a drama queen.
"How could you abandon me! You're my spiritual totem! We'll die together!"
The whole place burst into laughter.
Tao Zhesheng sighed helplessly.
"Protest denied!" Wang Zhengyu declared definitively.
"To add to the fun, we can also reveal a major piece of news."
"The Running Man production team from South Korea, I heard that the guests are you old Running Man members."
"We were granted permission to use their signature game segment directly and free of charge!"
"In other words, tonight you not only have to evade the men in black, but you can also find special cards to fight back!"
"This is an absolutely thrilling free-for-all!"
This news came out.
The original members of Running Man, who were sprawled on the sofa, suddenly had a blazing fire in their eyes.
Tearing off name tags!
This is ingrained in their DNA!
The barrage of comments instantly lifted the roof off the live stream room.
"Holy crap! A name tag ripping game?! I can't believe I'm seeing the Running Man cast ripping name tags in my lifetime?!"
"My youth is back!! Tears are falling! Who understands? The true essence of Running Man lies in Wu Ha!"
"The Koreans really went all out, giving us a free segment!"
"The Big Black Bull is about to awaken!!"
"Alright, everyone go to the back room and change into your own branded sportswear."
"The game will officially begin in five minutes!" Wang Zhengyu waved his hand.
Everyone scattered in a rush, heading into the inner room to pick out clothes.
Chen Ye, however, did not rush to make a move.
He slowly stood up, his hands in his pockets.
Just now when I entered this suite.
The assistant director in charge of greeting guests secretly slipped a small piece of paper into his hand, using his body as a cover.
The technique was extremely fast.
Chen Ye remained silent, still holding the object in his hand.
"That old Wang, he's up to no good again," he thought to himself.
While everyone was making a ruckus in the inner room grabbing clothes, they took advantage of the chaos.
Chen Ye leaned against the corner of the wall, using his back to block the blind spot of the hidden camera.
He slowly unfolded the note in his pocket.
His eyes quickly scanned the words on it.
Chen Ye's gaze froze.
Then, the corners of his mouth slowly turned up.
In the control room outside the suite.
Wang Zhengyu watched the close-up of Chen Ye leaning against the corner of the wall and laughing on the monitor, and rubbed his chin hard.
In order to capitalize on this overwhelming popularity and maintain the highest viewership ratings.
Wang Zhengyu and Yan Min talked on the phone for half the night before finalizing this insane script.
The note I just slipped to Chen Ye clearly stated:
You are the undercover agent.
But everyone else except you is a hunter from the other faction!
Today, their ultimate goal is singular: to tear your name tag, Chen Ye, to shreds! The others are unaware of this mission for now; take advantage of their ignorance and eliminate them swiftly!
Wang Zhengyu stared intently at Chen Ye's face on the screen and swallowed hard.
"Yezi, don't blame your older brother for being heartless."
One against eleven!
If you can turn this around, let's see how you manage to maintain control in the Chinese entertainment industry in the future!
