Reborn in America, I'm serious about making money.

If you were to ask who the most popular triple-threat star in mainland China is right now, it would be...

That must be Zhang Zongyi. Zhang Zongyi now has the perfect combination of timing, location, and popular support. As long as he doesn't do anything wrong, no one dares to do anything to him.

Perhaps it was because of his mother's good upbringing, but he didn't have any bad habits and was very self-disciplined. To prevent anyone from framing him, Zhang San used all sorts of methods, and he was always accompanied by at least one male and one female bodyguard.

Moreover, he doesn't go to bars or nightclubs; they're irrelevant to him.

Online, he is called the most self-disciplined star among all the celebrities. He is rich, good-looking, and from a good family, yet he acts like an ascetic.

During an interview, an entertainment reporter asked him, "Your fans are very curious about what you usually do?"

Zhang Zongyi glanced at his agent beside him, who nodded, before he began, "I might seem boring to you guys, but a few years ago, my dad made me study business and management. I didn't like it. I was very rebellious back then. I pointed at the celebrities on TV and said I wanted to be a celebrity. I found that studying business and management was easier. Now I have to exercise every day to maintain a good physique so I can face my fans. I have to learn music, otherwise, if I sing off-key, my fans will think I'm unprofessional. I have to learn dance, otherwise, if I dance wrong, I'll be seen as... Dad, after seeing this interview, can I please quit being a celebrity...?"

Zhang Zongyi's bitter face in front of the camera made many people sigh, "A handsome guy is a handsome guy, even with a bitter face, he's still handsome."

"Ahem... I don't think the fans will agree, hehe..." The smile that followed was somewhat mocking, and even a little gloating.

After seeing the video, netizens left messages saying, "Xiao Yi, you must hang in there. We need you, everyone needs you."

"How could my husband retire from the entertainment industry? I'm the first to disagree."

"Upstairs, don't claim my husband as your own. Ah Yi belongs to everyone."

"Yes, Ah-yi belongs to everyone. Can I go to his bed tonight?"

……

At the Shanghai concert, the entire stadium was packed with people, but there were also quite a few security personnel. Halfway through the concert, a guest performer came on stage. During the Q&A session, he said, "A-Yi and I are good friends. I just collected some questions that fans want to ask him, and I'll ask him those questions later. What do you all think?"

"good!"

Whether the entire city of Shanghai heard it or not is unknown, but the people gathered outside the stadium were also watching the big screen and shouting along with those inside, which frightened many people. There were many times more people outside than inside.

After the guest performer finished singing, Zhang Zongyi came on stage and asked, "Ayi, everyone wanted to ask you some questions. Will you answer them?"

Zhang Zongyi laughed and said, "Of course, no problem, but you'll have to sing one more song."

"Fans, I'm asking on your behalf! Please support my new song when it's released! Okay?"

"Great!" The atmosphere was very enthusiastic.

"Well, let me ask you this, Ah-Yi: what everyone really wants to know is—has your dad agreed to let you go back to study business and take over the family business?"

Zhang Zongyi's smiling face instantly fell, a sudden change of expression that immediately drew laughter from the audience both inside and outside the venue. He said with a mournful expression, "I'm still a child! Now I not only have to learn what I already knew, but I also have to study business! This is too hard for me!"

"Hahaha……"

The guest singer laughed and said, "Who isn't a child? I'm a child too. I'm just a ten-year-old, 150-month-old child."

"Ha ha……"

I'm still a child, and I'm trending at number one on the hot search list;

"I'm having such a hard time," I posted, trending at number two on Weibo.

A singer who doesn't want to work hard became the third most searched topic.

……

On his personal social media account, Zhang Zong published the income from each concert. The Beijing concert, which consisted of two shows, generated a net income of three million yuan, all of which was entrusted to a company in the southwest to provide psychological counseling and early return to school for disaster-stricken students, as well as to help rebuild some damaged schools.

The event also disclosed the flow of funds and thanked Lihua Group for providing free security services. It further appealed to audience members to maintain order during the performance to reduce the difficulty of security services.

There were quite a few people at the Guangzhou concert today. I noticed an unusually large number of security personnel at the main stage. There were several people sitting there, but I couldn't see them clearly. However, judging from their clothing, they seemed to be one man and two women.

As the concert was about to start, many people brought binoculars, but they were very low-key, and there were many security personnel around them.

"I saw one of them, she looked like a former celebrity, I don't know which one, but I'm sure the woman was a star."

"Who is that guy? He seems to have a good relationship with those two girls."

"Could it be A-Yi's parents?"

"That's not such an exaggeration as one person carrying two, is it?"

"Hehe...it must be Zhang Zongyi's father, that should be his mother, and the other one should be his aunt."

Tell me...

"I heard his father is quite the womanizer..."

"Oh, is that so? How did you know?"

"The newspapers in Hong Kong all reported it, but it was from the early days. I heard there was another interesting story from back then, but I don't know if it's true or not."

The surrounding noise subsided as everyone listened to him.

Then the man cleared his throat and began to speak. It was old news from two or three years ago, and only Hong Kong newspapers had reported it.

Back in Hong Kong, Zhou Yunu and Guan Meiren made cameo appearances in one of Zhang Zongyi's movies. The crew noticed that the two senior actresses were very kind to Zhang Zongyi. What surprised them even more was that Zhang Zongyi treated them like juniors.

However, there was a fairly well-known actress in Hong Kong at the time, who came from a good family and should be quite wealthy. She felt that Zhang Zongyi was cowardly, so she went over to stand up for him, but was taught a lesson by Zhang Zongyi.

The actress was indignant and questioned Zhang Zongyi: "Who are those two old women to you? Are they your mothers? You're a big star, okay? You're afraid of them?"

Zhang Zongyi pulled her aside and whispered, "That's my stepmother."

"Stepmother? What's wrong, Stepmother...?"

Halfway through the conversation, Zhang Zongyi covered his mouth. However, everyone around the film crew had already heard it.

The man said, "I don't know the specifics, but it spread around at the time. There were many versions, and the beginnings might differ, but the last sentence is known throughout Hong Kong."

"Wow~ Poor Ah Yi, he has so many stepmothers!"

"I've heard of that; many people in Hong Kong do know about it."

"Wow, you guys knew about this too?"

On the night of the Guangzhou concert, "stepmother" became a trending topic...
