Chapter 85: It

Bai Liang didn't yet know about the matters surrounding the "Wei Wei" production team.

However, Hu Yanbing's live performance and heartfelt singing at the bar had made it onto the trending list.

Bai Liang was involved in this too—he was the one playing the role of "friend."

He'd even managed to ride the trending wave.

But hardly anyone paid attention to him; not even his face was captured clearly, and only those familiar with him might recognize him.

The main issue was the song itself—it carried too much weight and lingering impact.

Hu Yanbing's fans initially cheered, thinking, "Of course he's a musical genius—writing a new song drunk on the spot? Amazing!"

But once the lyrics of the new song were dug up, public opinion exploded.

The implications were far too obvious!

Fortunately, Hu Yanbing had anticipated this—he'd shut off comments on his Weibo the day before.

If he moved fast enough, the online abuse couldn't catch up to him.

Even so, criticisms against him still spread everywhere; the enraged "Shuang fans" were fiercely combative.

Fortunately, the situation could only escalate this far—neither of the two main parties would step down to engage.

Sister Yanzi, using her "rich" agent knowledge, told Bai Liang: "They'll probably wait until the heat dies down before officially announcing the breakup."

"Do they still need to wait for the heat to die down?"

"Usually they keep it low-key. But that one… she's unpredictable—she's capable of anything."

Clearly, Sister Yanzi held resentment toward Shuangzi, even a touch of schadenfreude.

Bai Liang hadn't provoked or offended her, yet her boss's role had inexplicably been demoted.

But when Bai Liang told her the "friend" drinking with Hu Yanbing was himself, Sister Yanzi's expression turned utterly bewildered.

After learning about the "abandoned dog" incident, she finally understood what "heavenly law" her little Bai had broken.

"She actually dared to do that! Doesn't she fear we'll expose this?" Sister Yanzi said, dumbfounded.

Who really held whose leverage here?

This alone could get Shuangzi utterly shredded by online pet lovers.

And Bai Liang, recalling future events… clearly, Shuangzi was the kind who'd dare.

If she didn't dare, she wouldn't be her.

"Should good people be held at gunpoint?" Sister Yanzi fumed.

She seemed to be thinking of Bai Liang's nature—she believed he was too kind, which was why he got bullied like this!

Even now, she didn't sense any anger from Bai Liang—he sounded as if he were talking about someone else.

Coincidentally, Lin Yufen called at that moment.

Upon hearing that Bai Liang's male third lead role had been sabotaged again, Sister Yanzi stayed silent but her gaze screamed that she wanted to go fight Shuangzi to the death.

This was too much!

But Lin Yufen also sounded off: "Little Bai, you lost the male third lead too. Bear with it—play the 'ex-husband' from the game who chases the female lead, Bei Weiwei. No audition needed…"

"I'm fine with anything, but since it's come to this, maybe I should just leave?"

"No!" Lin Yufen said firmly.

After this call ended, Sister Yanzi no longer rushed—she stared straight at Bai Liang, looking deeply moved.

"What's wrong?" Bai Liang asked, puzzled.

Sister Yanzi grinned. "Little Bai, there's going to be a show to watch~"

"Big deal~ watching my show?"

"No, I mean the 'Wei Wei' production team—it's clearly about to be a battle between immortals. That one's reaching too far; plenty must resent her. Little Bai, which role you play isn't just about suitability anymore—it's about face and power."

Bai Liang thought about it and found it made sense.

If Shuangzi had just been straightforward from the start and said: "It's him or me—no middle ground."

He'd have left without hesitation—assuming no other "off-field factors" were involved.

But she'd overplayed her hand, not realizing Bai Liang was a calm capybara—switching roles didn't bother him at all; he accepted it naturally.

It even stirred sympathy from powerful senior women in the production team.

So after this second round, the whole affair had little to do with Bai Liang anymore.

Lin Yufen's tone suggested that even if they had to make Bai Liang a background extra, they'd still shove him into the "Wei Wei" production team.

Bai Liang: Extra roles aren't bad~ I've never been one before—could be fun to try.

At that moment, Sister Yanzi had a sudden idea and proposed a hopeful vision: "Little Bai, do you think this might eventually lead to you playing the male lead?"

Before Bai Liang could answer, she shook her head again: "Unlikely. After all this, they definitely won't let you two play leads together. The production team will just give her a warning—they won't truly break ties."

Bai Liang shrugged. "Life's unpredictable—go with the flow. By the way, let's figure out what to eat—can't watch a drama without snacks!"

"I'll order takeout!" Sister Yanzi raised her hand eagerly.

"No way—that's my job. I'm amazing at ordering takeout."

Takeout Superhero Bai Liang was online—he'd never learned to cook in two lifetimes, but ordering takeout? He was a master.

At this moment, a handsome young man, whose posture was impeccably upright, was also discussing "Wei Wei" with his agent.

"The production team for this drama is definitely solid. Gu Man's previous works, 'Shan Shan Lai Le' and 'He Yi Shen Xiao Mo,' were both hits—you should take this role."

Yang Yang nodded. Having seen his popularity surge through his role as Zhang Qiling in "The Lost Tomb," he needed reliable resources to consolidate and strengthen his current fame.

This prime upward phase couldn't be wasted.

Still, the scripts offered to him weren't limited to "Wei Wei"—there were other solid projects too.

Moreover, Yang Yang understood his agent Jia Shikai well—he knew his agent was about to pivot soon.

As expected.

"But the female lead in 'Wei Wei' has been set on that Shuangzi—she's been acting up these past two days."

"Won't her relationship affect it?"

"Getting involved with her is troublesome. Of course, even if you take this drama, you probably won't actually get tangled up with her—but she's just a difficult person..."

As he spoke, Jia Shikai even started muttering nonsense, mumbling phrases like "The Buddha said" and such.

That's right—this famous, hypersensitive entertainment agent, known as the "Water Army Boss" and "La Tiao Kai," also believes in Buddhism.

After muttering for a while, he suddenly changed the subject: "Do you know about her meddling in the casting for 'Wei Wei'?"

"There's more to this?"

"Yes, it's targeting a young male artist who just debuted."

"You know him?" Yang Yang asked, surprised. A new artist? Why would his own agent care?

"I used to be the head agent at Tang Ren," Jia Shikai said, his expression turning strange. "There's an old friend there—a really interesting young guy. If Cai Yi couldn't handle him, I'd have tried to bring him over to my company myself."

Jia Shikai added: "No, not just interesting—he's downright weird... Don't rush it. Let's keep 'Wei Wei' on our shortlist for now. I'm sure there's more to come!"

Weird? How weird could he possibly be?

What era are we in, Jia? Believe in science!

Yang Yang: "Alright~"

Two days later, Yang Yang gained a whole new understanding of his agent.

You're really something else, Jia!

Shuangzi blew up~ She quit the drama. She's done.
