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

Chapter 28: The Four Heavenly Kings Making Easy Money? A Suicide Attack by Online Trolls!

Chen Ye glanced at the smug Song Yuqi.

You want to see me break down?

Nonsense, this woman isn't afraid of getting close to him and using her ultimate skill, so what's there for a grown man like me to be afraid of?

He ignored Deng Chao's smirking smile.

My gaze swept across the crowd and landed on the little girl peeking out from behind Brother Zhang.

Chen Ye waved with a smile.

"Come here, little girl, let your brother take a look."

The little girl was a bit shy.

She clung tightly to Brother Zhang's clothes, hiding most of her face behind them.

Brother Zhang had recovered his senses by then and quickly squatted down.

"Girl, don't be afraid, go ahead," Brother Zhang encouraged softly. "Don't you love watching these two older brothers and sisters on TV? Go say hello."

Only after her father coaxed and tricked her did the little girl finally let go.

She took small, hesitant steps and awkwardly approached Chen Ye and Song Yuqi.

Song Yuqi's fox-like eyes curved into crescent moons.

She bent down slightly, her voice even sweeter than when she ate the candy: "Oh my, so cute!"

The little girl blinked her big eyes.

After holding it in for a long time, she finally managed to utter the sound in a childish voice.

"Sister Yuqi...Brother Chenye."

When Chen Ye used to visit Chen He and Deng Chao's homes, whenever he saw the little girl, he would bring home boxes and boxes of toys.

He's a total doting father to his daughter.

He scooped up the little girl and placed her steadily on his lap.

The little girl was suddenly suspended in mid-air and shrank her neck in fright.

Her face turned bright red the moment she realized she was sitting in Chen Ye's lap.

"Why are you so shy?" Chen Ye pinched the little girl's chubby cheeks. "Weren't you quite brave over there just now? Tell your brother, do you really like your sister Yuqi?"

The little girl dared not look Chen Ye in the eye.

Hearing this question, he boldly turned to look at Song Yuqi.

Her big eyes were bright and sparkling.

Song Yuqi found the look quite pleasing.

She reached out her finger and gently scraped the little girl's nose.

The two of them, one on each side, played with the child as if no one else was around.

The camera cuts directly into the live stream room.

The screen was flooded with comments.

"Holy crap! That's a family of three!"

"Chen Ye's baby-holding technique is so practiced!"

"Help! Qiqi's gaze towards the little girl is practically dripping with drool, and Chen Ye's gaze towards Qiqi is priceless!"

"The 'Force-to-Hand' team, step forward! I've moved the Civil Affairs Bureau here; you can get things done here!"

"Is this a rehearsal for married life with kids? I'm dying for this!"

The people in the private room smiled as they watched this heartwarming scene.

Deng Chao originally wanted to stir up some more trouble, but this time his punch landed right on cotton.

You're ruthless, kid.

Deng Chao rolled his eyes and turned to pull Brother Zhang, who was still standing there.

"Brother Zhang, come on, come on, don't stand there, sit down." He enthusiastically pulled him toward the table.

Chen He simply moved a folding chair over and shoved it under Brother Zhang's bottom.

Brother Zhang was flattered.

He had half his buttocks on the chair, and he didn't know where to put his hands.

After all, this table was full of big stars he could only see on TV normally.

Deng Chao casually picked up the menu and pushed it over.

"Brother Zhang, order whatever you like." Deng Chao patted his chest. "Today, Director Wang is paying for everything, eat as much as you want!"

Brother Zhang quickly waved his hand and smiled sheepishly.

"No need, no need. I'm a rough person and I'll eat anything. Please help yourselves."

Chen Ye, who was playing with the child, turned his head away for a moment.

"Brother Chao, be more careful when ordering food." Chen Ye pointed to the little girl on his lap. "Order some non-spicy dishes. Kids have delicate appetites and can't handle strong-flavored skewers."

Deng Chao was taken aback.

I thought to myself, this kid is quite meticulous.

"Understood, you can rest assured that I'll handle things well." Deng Chao picked up his pen.

I scribbled a few lines on the menu, specifically asking them to grill a few extra skewers of meat without chili. After thinking for a moment, I went to the food cart and ordered some fried chicken and a few desserts.

Before long, skewers and snacks were served on the long table in a continuous stream.

Chen Ye pulled over a high stool and helped the little girl sit on it.

The two began to divide the work and cooperate.

Song Yuqi held a milk tea in her left hand and a tissue in her right, ready to wipe her mouth at any time.

Chen Ye took the skewers and carefully placed the non-spicy meat skewers one by one into a small plate.

I blew on it to cool it down carefully before pushing it over.

While feeding him fried chicken, Chen Ye turned around and joined a chat session.

The atmosphere at this end of the table was very lively.

The five men started by talking about video games, then moved on to trendy sneakers, and naturally steered the conversation back to their old profession—music.

Lin Junjie took a sip of juice.

He reached out and patted Chen Ye on the shoulder.

"Seriously," Lin Junjie exclaimed with admiration, "you really aren't going to leave any room for your fellow disciples today. Those songs were absolutely amazing."

Deng Chao, who was busy preparing oysters, stopped.

What the hell?

What song is it?

Jay Chou nodded in agreement and spat out his chewing gum.

His expression was unusually serious.

"Indeed." Jay Chou gave a thumbs up. "I listened to it on repeat in the car just now. My personal favorite is 'Enough Love.' The arrangement is amazing. The moment the electric guitar intro comes on, the whole feeling is just right. It's unbeatable!"

Tao Zhe smiled and followed suit.

"I'm casting my vote for the only one; the chorus is so catchy."

Lin Junjie then spoke.

"I also like 'Only' and 'Preference'. The restrained emotional outburst is very sophisticated. Without exaggeration, this album of yours is definitely the best one in China in the last two years."

Wang Leehom joined in the conversation with a smile.

"You all don't understand men. If you ask me, it has to be a boy. The lyrics are so poignant. Listening to them makes me want to go have a couple of drinks with my first love."

The four of them chatted amongst themselves.

They began to analyze and admire Chen Ye's works in a comprehensive and professional manner.

The three people on the other side of the table were dumbfounded.

The kidney that Chen He was eating fell back into the plate.

The bamboo skewer in Deng Chao's hand froze in mid-air.

Lu Han stared wide-eyed at Chen Ye.

"No..." Lu swallowed hard, his voice trembling, "Xiao Ye, you...you released a new album?!"

Deng Chao became anxious.

He slammed his hand on the table and stood up.

"Holy crap! When did you release this song? How come we didn't know anything about it?!"

Chen Ye slowly wiped his hands with a tissue.

"What's the big fuss about?" he said calmly. "It was just released at noon today, exclusively on NetEase Cloud Music, a digital EP. You guys are so engrossed in begging that you can't even connect to the internet?"

The three of them almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

I started working as soon as I rolled off the cruise ship in the morning. After being tricked by Lao Wang, I ran to the dock, then had a seafood feast and rushed to Y-Wu without stopping.

We also experienced wilderness survival at a highway service area, where we were penniless.

I don't have time to scroll through my phone and read the news!

That kid's something else.

While everyone else was struggling to film their budget travel reality show, he took advantage of the midday bombing to throw out a bombshell and even snagged an MVP award for the entire online music scene?!

Is this something a human being would do?!

Without saying a word, Lu Han took out her phone.

I opened NetEase Cloud Music and searched for Chen Ye's name.

"Holy crap! Holy crap! These numbers!" Lu Han stared at the screen and cursed repeatedly.

In just a few hours.

Six songs.

All of them broke into the top ten of the new song charts!

Purchases have surged past two million! And the numbers are still skyrocketing at an alarming rate!

"Yezi, there's a part of your song 'Boy' that I'm quite interested in how you handled it," Wang Leehom leaned closer. "Sometimes we can find a recording studio. I have a new idea; how about we try collaborating?"

Zhou Jielun was displeased upon hearing this.

He tapped on the table.

"Hey, hey, hey, can't we have a proper order of things? I was planning to ask Chen Ye to help me revise that half-finished piece."

The Four Heavenly Kings began openly and secretly poaching people.

Looking across the entire country, you won't find another company that these four are eager to collaborate with.

Chen Ye smiled and waved his hand dismissively.

Who wouldn't want the resources of such an amazing organization if they were given to them for free?

Just as I was about to answer the call, my phone on the table vibrated.

I glanced at the screen.

It was a text message from the hacker leader.

"Brother Ye, they're getting desperate over there. They're planning something drastic. Be careful."

Chen Ye raised an eyebrow.

Playing dirty?

With those tattered underwear, what tricks can they possibly pull off?

At the same time.

A strange stutter appeared in the cheerful chat of the official live stream of "Five Ha" (a popular Chinese comedy show).

Followed by.

A large number of red-on-black comments instantly took over the entire screen!

This time, the target is no longer Song Yuqi.

Instead, they went straight for the Four Heavenly Kings!

"Is this all the Four Heavenly Kings are capable of now? They took exorbitant salaries from their rivals, and now they're promoting some lousy variety show!"

"Jay Chou has long since lost his touch! He drinks milk tea all day, ruins his voice, and can only make easy money on these lousy online variety shows!"

"Does Lin Junjie even know what real music is? He'll even praise those cheesy pop songs for money, he's really ruining his image!"

"The production team hired this kind of person to endorse the show; it's just a coordinated money-making scheme for publicity. Their behavior is disgusting!"

Not just the Wuha live stream room.

On Weibo's trending topics list, several highly targeted negative keywords quickly rose to the top.

#The Four Heavenly Kings Making Money Off the Ground#

#Jay Chou's singing skills have seriously declined#

#Lin Junjie endorses disgraced artist#

Fueled by a frenzy of online trolls, these extremely outrageous topics quickly rose to prominence.

Chen Ye stared at the fluctuating data on the screen.

He was somewhat impressed by the way these people thought.

Hei Ta Chen Ye.

Black Song Yuqi.

This is understandable, after all, it's to reduce traffic.

In an attempt to forcefully cut off the popularity of "Five Ha" and salvage the reputation of Running Man, Yao Fei has actually gone to great lengths, hiring online trolls to attack the core fanbase of these four legendary figures in the Chinese music scene.

This is not public relations.

This was a suicide terrorist attack.

It's true that they can't compete in terms of program quality or scandals, so now they're starting to crush everyone on equal terms.

The combined fan base of these four individuals is so large that a single spit from any one of them could collapse the foundation of the headquarters building.

Yao Fei wasn't satisfied with being dead enough, so he insisted on nailing his own coffin shut.

Chen Ye placed his phone face down on the table.

Lean back in the chair.

Since you want to die a spectacular death.

Let's grant their wish today and hold a grand funeral.
