From the other party's attitude, he could tell—timid, daring to be angry but not to speak, and silent whenever asked a question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although with his status as \"Yuenal Royalty,\" there was a high probability he could still secure the male lead for *Cycle*, if Hanxing Entertainment insisted otherwise, Yuenal had a chance of finding him other A-level resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they were all A-level anyway, Yuenal wouldn't care if the script was good or bad, let alone care about Chi Ye's future \"survival.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he had to \"care\" about his own survival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Keke had already contacted a lawyer; it wouldn't be long before both sides tore off the mask, and he didn't have much time to pick other scripts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, to avoid further complications, he prepared to cut the Gordian knot and secure this piece of the pie first!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chi Ye received a call from Keke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saved the information on Hanxing Entertainment and walked out of the room to the first floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the once lively *See You* cabin was empty, and filming had been paused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guests had all left, leaving only Shi Daifu alone in the kitchen tinkering with ingredients.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was humming a pleasant little tune, looking serious and focused; she was likely preparing dinner for herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It sounded nice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Worthy of being a former little pop diva.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Chi Ye was thinking this, the noise of him coming downstairs startled Shi Daifu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stiffened like a frightened little deer and went slightly quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Didn't everyone already leave? Why was there still someone in the house?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chi Ye didn't know the boxing champion's inner thoughts; he asked curiously: \"Aren't you leaving?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\" Shi Daifu came back to her senses, feeling so embarrassed she wished she could crawl into a crack in the floor. Her pretty face flushed slightly, and her almond eyes lowered: \"I... I'm leaving tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't see everything, did he...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So shameful, ah ah ah!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chi Ye paused and nodded, not teasing her as he usually did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He roughly understood that Shi Daifu's current situation was likely no better than his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving the cabin, what kind of bookings could she have?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I'll be going first?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chi Ye greeted her politely, having already seen Keke outside the courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me see you off.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Daifu hurriedly wiped her hands, wanting to come over to carry Chi Ye's suitcase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need.\" Chi Ye lifted the suitcase, indicating it was light, then said with a chuckle: \"When I come back, I'll bring you some beef and seafood, you can feast on it later... um... don't worry, I'll sneak it in too, I won't be discovered.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying that, he waved his hand and walked out of the cabin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Daifu was silent for a long while. Only after hearing the door close did she mutter: \"Actually... I snuck in a lot of food myself... um...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Keke walked in a hurry, her voice full of concern: \"Brother Chi, are you alright?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm fine.\" Chi Ye walked to the car, head held high, his tone proud: \"I'm still alive!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Keke: \"...Then you're amazing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The PD teacher who followed along: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, like boss, like subordinate!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He aimed the camera at Chi Ye, starting this \"outdoor livestream.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's up with this car?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chi Ye glanced at the PD's camera and asked casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I asked the company for it...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Keke paused; with an \"outsider\" present, she didn't say much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chi Ye nodded and beckoned: \"Let's get in the car then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opening the car door, the three of them sat inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The PD teacher didn't think much of it at first, but after a while, he suddenly realized something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—That's not right, why is the staff for Teacher Chi so \"small\"?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It couldn't even be called small; there was only one assistant girl driving to pick him up. Compared to other guests who had teams of a dozen people for travel and pick-ups, it was simply unbelievable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was he intentionally building a persona?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The PD blinked, and the viewers in Chi Ye's livestream also discovered this point of interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's the situation? Why is 'Faded Ye's' travel so 'simple'?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As royalty leaving the palace, shouldn't there be an eight-bearer sedan chair? This is too shabby.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"'Faded Ye' isn't trying to build a persona after getting a taste of the benefits from *See You*, is he?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seeing this, I suddenly remember that the things 'Faded Ye' used in the room also seemed very cheap...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were quite a few people in the livestream, and they were extremely surprised by Chi Ye's \"team configuration.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chi Ye didn't know about any of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, once in the car, he gestured to the PD teacher, indicating that he was about to discuss work and it wasn't suitable for a livestream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The PD teacher was startled, but quickly turned off the camera.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The program team had this rule, so he naturally had to respect the guest's privacy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Keke clumsily turned on the \"Privacy Sound Shield Mode,\" and partitions appeared between the front and back rows. This was the most advanced \"private chat system\" in domestic new energy vehicles, which could block outsiders from hearing private conversations; it was very advanced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So he can't hear it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chi Ye was curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He can hear sound, but can't hear clearly what is being said.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Keke drove the car while reporting methodically: \"Brother Chi, there are two things you need to understand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm, go ahead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chi Ye changed to a more comfortable sitting position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The first matter is regarding our public opinion and reputation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After you participated in 'See You', your online reputation and reviews are much better than before... and... your popularity is also higher than it was.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chi Ye nodded: \"I know that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the system's favorability growth, he was also clear that it had increased to 500,000 favorability points on the first day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second day was less, but still 300,000.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a show as big as \"See You\", there was certainly no lack of attention and exposure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the change in reputation... how did it change?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Chi, take a look.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Keke handed over a tablet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chi Ye was startled, took it, and unlocked it, only to see that Keke's tablet was currently displaying a Weibo Super Topic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be precise, it was a very popular CP Super Topic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>#ChiPanXiaYu# CP Super Topic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chi Ye was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The main source is this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Keke was driving, but she glanced at Chi Ye suspiciously from the corner of her eye: \"You and...

Most of the changes in your reputation these past few days are because of this reason.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chi Ye: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good grief, did he really manage to ride her coattails?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course,\" Keke added: \"There are also more anti-fans.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I knew it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chi Ye grumbled; with his and the Old Buddha's combination, it would be strange if there weren't any anti-fans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm...\" Keke paused and said softly: \"I feel like someone bought internet trolls and press releases to stir up trouble and smear you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chi Ye rubbed his wrists: \"Who?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Keke didn't answer directly, but instead brought up the second matter: \"The second matter is about Rise reuniting for the Scream Night.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rise is going to reunite at the Scream Night?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chi Ye was taken aback; he really hadn't known about this beforehand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" Keke nodded: \"Those who haven't collapsed are all going... except for us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Peng Chen and Shen Qingyu are going too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They are.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Keke paused before returning to the first topic: \"Personally, I feel it must be Shen Qingyu's team that bought the anti-fans and trolls to smear you. The trajectory of your CP with Miss Jin Xia is good; in less than one episode, you've gained this much heat. I suspect he's afraid that you'll be bundled with Jin Xia later... and then he'll be in a difficult spot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, personal grudges cannot be ruled out as a factor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chi Ye remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how many anti-fans the Old Buddha had, she was still a publicly recognized top-tier celebrity both inside and outside the industry, one of the Four Little Dan Actresses, and there were countless examples in the industry of people rising to the top by riding on others' popularity to form a CP bundle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If handled well, it could even allow a minor, obscure celebrity to leap directly into the top tier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the foundation was unstable, the traffic was real.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was likely not just Shen Qingyu; those in Rise who had bullied \"him\" before, seeing the explosive potential of \"See You\" and #ChiPanXiaYu#, had all entered the fray to target him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They're getting desperate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Chi...\" Keke hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help her curiosity: \"You and Miss Jin Xia...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Old Buddha understands everything, yet understands nothing.
