Li Xiao's apology made many people start to dislike Zhou Yan.
Plagiarism, show scandals, taking up someone else's spot despite lacking talent, these are all things that ordinary people despise.
Everyone empathizes, thinking about how one would feel if their hard-thought-out plan was plagiarized, and the plagiarist got promotions and raises. Just the thought of it is unbearable.
[With all this happening, isn't Zhou Yan going to say something?]
[Not to mention anything else, at least he should apologize to Gu Che and to the fans who genuinely supported him during the talent show.]
[Is he being a turtle?]
[And the show crew, I heard "Star Chasing Journey" is planning a second season. If I watch it, I'm a dog.]
[Quit the group, quit the group, our group can't have such members!]
[I advise those who want Zhou Yan to come forward to calm down. Even though he plagiarized and there's a scandal, as long as the capital behind him is willing to support him, he won't leave the circle.]
[I guess so too, as long as the capital is willing to support him, he'll just lie low for a few months or half a year, and eventually, he'll be active in front of everyone again.]
[There have been things like this before, singers caught plagiarizing are still holding concerts, and idols from rigged shows are still getting endorsements and acting in dramas.]
Experienced bystanders see through the facade.
Zhou Yan's home.
The idol, who had been popular for half a year, was furious, cursing Li Xiao, Gu Che, and those targeting him.
He was upset not because the truth was exposed, but because he could no longer ride on Gu Che's fame.
After this incident, if he tried to leverage Gu Che's fame again, everyone would undoubtedly side with Gu Che without hesitation.
As for leaving the circle or quitting the group, don't even think about it.
He had been in the industry for years without making a mark, and it took a lot of effort to join "Star Chasing Journey," where he was almost eliminated.
Luckily, he met someone willing to support him, the director of the biggest investor in "Star Chasing Journey," ZD Home.
It can be said, as long as ZD Home is willing to continue supporting him, he could even become a show judge or obtain ZD Home's endorsement.
As long as ZD Home is willing to support him.
At this moment, his manager called.
"Is it true, the thing with President Zhao?"
Zhou Yan's hands were shaking.
"Which President Zhao?"
"Oh, stop pretending. Look at the trending searches. I worked so hard to connect you with President Zhou, and you turned around and went with President Zhao. Do you know what President Zhou will do? I still believed you when you said Director Qian wanted to leverage Little Gu Che's fame for you to participate in the family reality show."
Zhou Yan was a bit panicked, and even angrier.
He got the endorsement for LLU's summer limited edition and was able to participate in "Travel with Parents 2" indeed because of President Zhao. He didn't believe the manager hadn't guessed, but the manager was willing to keep it from President Zhou for him.
What exactly happened that even the manager wouldn't hide it anymore?
He shakily clicked on the trending searches, and seeing the clear video, he almost fainted.
It was a video of him with President Zhao.
Who on earth filmed it?
At the time, only President Zhao's secretary was present.
He hurriedly called President Zhao, but no one answered. In a panic, he decided to leave, drive to President Zhao's villa, and clear things up, pleading with him to protect him.
Zhou Yan completely forgot how hot his current status was.
As soon as he left the house, paparazzi followed him.
Zhou Yan couldn't get into the neighborhood, he was furious and kicked the car hard. When he checked his phone again, he noticed that LLU had issued a statement, changing the person in charge domestically.
'Buzz,' his mind turned dizzy.
"Changed, changed the person in charge?"
It must have been President Zhao's competitors who did it, he was just caught in the crossfire.
He was even more eager to go in and find President Zhao for an explanation, but the security guards wouldn't let him into the neighborhood. During the tussle, Zhou Yan bumped into a nearby pillar, feeling a strange sensation in his nose.
He reached up to touch it, and the implant was crooked.
Paparazzi: Click-click!
Gu Che woke up refreshed.
As soon as he stepped out of the room, he heard his little sister's soft voice.
"Second Brother, hurry and come for breakfast, we have steamed buns, red bean buns, dumplings, youtiao, soy milk, and milk, eat whatever you like~"
He ruffled his hair and walked into the dining room.
He found his older brother sitting upright, meticulously eating breakfast. His sister, on the other hand, had messy hair, eating a dumpling with each bite, her eyes curved with delight, just short of making a meow meow sound.
He pulled out a chair and sat down, picked up a cup of soy milk, and remarked critically, "There's no sugar."
Gu Cheng glanced at him nonchalantly, and Gu Che immediately zipped it, "There should be some at home, I'll look for it."
He looked around but couldn't find any, so he had to sit back down awkwardly and saw his sister pushing her hair back after every few bites.
"Want me to do your hair?"
Tuanzi lifted her chubby little face.
"But, Second Brother, it seems like you don't know how?"
Previously, it was the assistant who helped, and later during the show recordings, it was Mrs. Lin who helped at the host family's place.
"I can!"
The top idol claimed he was versatile.
Tuanzi glanced at him, his handsome face filled with determination, so she slowly took out a comb and hairband.
"Then you do it, Miaomiao will continue eating."
Gu Che deliberately rolled up his sleeves and started working on it.
Five minutes later.
Tuanzi shook her head, "Why does it feel exactly the same as before?"
Gu Che: "..."
[Ancient Martial System: Because it wasn't tied up at all.]
The top idol, refusing to admit defeat, took out his phone, "Give me the chance to learn."
He focused on learning, his fingers moving occasionally, seemingly tying hair.
At this moment, Gu Cheng, who upheld the principle of not talking during meals, finished breakfast quietly, and walked to stand behind his sister, starting to comb her hair.
Compared to the fluffy little head, his hands were large and wide, able to cover her little head or that small face.
Tuanzi, engrossed with her breakfast, wanted to try both the meaty and red bean-filled buns. The vinegar-dipped dumplings were also delicious, not caring who was handling her hair.
By the time she patted her belly, she noticed her second brother was still learning.
Just then, someone gently tapped her ear.
Tuanzi looked up.
The stern-faced big brother slightly lowered his eyes and whispered, "It's done."
Tuanzi: "?"
The small chubby hand felt around, and it seemed finished. She jumped off the chair and ran to the restroom to check.
"Wow~"
The thick black hair was tied into two horn-like braids, giving the already energetic Tuanzi an extra touch of ladylike grace. The adorable little face with the horn braids was super cute.
Tuanzi shook her head from side to side and ran out holding her little face.
"Big Brother, you're great at doing hair."
Gu Cheng modestly nodded.
His efforts watching many tutorials last night were not in vain. The first attempt today was a success.
Gu Che, who was earnestly studying, looked up, "What?"
He glanced at his sister's hair and then at the expressionless big brother, his sense of crisis grew larger.
On second thought, he would be filming the show with his sister again next week, so ultimately, he'd have more chances to bond with her.
The top idol motivated himself.
Just then, the phone rang. It was his manager calling.
He casually answered, "No need to say more, I saw the trending searches, about President Zhou, President Zhao, and the dislocated nose and chin implants."
Manager: "Don't worry, I won't bother with post-incident troublemakers, I'm here to discuss work."
Gu Che: "..." Not a good feeling.
"You've rested enough, right? Lately, there's a magazine shoot, and also a promotional shoot for an endorsement..."
A whole bunch of work came his way.
Gu Che leaned back in his chair, resting his head on the backrest.
Tuanzi walked over, curiously poking at him.
"Big Brother, it seems Second Brother will fall apart with just a touch."
