Chapter 100

Chapter 100

When Xie Yi heard Yi Tiantian's excited gossip, instead of marveling at its explosiveness, he felt reassured.

Because if Yi Tiantian still had the interest to indulge in gossip, it meant her mental state was relatively good and she hadn't been overly affected by the show.

Although he was already convinced that Yi Tiantian was doing well, Xie Yi still moved the annual party forward, hoping to see her as soon as possible.

WE Entertainment, being a massive company, naturally held a grand annual party.

Besides various performances like songs, dances, and crosstalk, there were also lottery draws and dancing sessions arranged.

When Yi Tiantian appeared at the party venue in a relatively formal suit, she noticed that her colleagues were dressed... rather plainly.

There was a popular young idol sucking on a lollipop and wearing big floral shorts, a talented singer-songwriter in a fluffy pajama who seemed not to have washed her hair, and other stars in ordinary daily wear.

Yi Tiantian, who had specially groomed herself, stood out among them!

"High Priestess Tiantian!!"

As soon as Yi Tiantian entered, she heard someone calling her name.

But the owner of this voice was unknown to her.

Turning around, Yi Tiantian saw a girl with exceptionally long eyelashes. Her attire, while not as outrageous as those mentioned earlier, was still quite casual.

"Brother Tiantian! Hello, I'm your loyal fan and a devout follower of the Yi Tiantian Cult!"

The long-eyelashed girl ran over to Yi Tiantian as soon as she saw her, introducing herself enthusiastically.

She was so focused on introducing her title that she forgot to mention her real name!

"Hello, hello, thank you for liking me."

Yi Tiantian responded politely.

"High Priestess, I have no particular wish, just that I hope you can bless all those people who maliciously ship me with others to collapse!"

The long-eyelashed girl clasped her hands together, looking very devout.

Malicious shipping?

Yi Tiantian quickly searched for related information in the gossip system.

"Turns out this female star is named Jia'ou, a dedicated lead actress in sweet dramas, but every time she shoots, the male lead's side maliciously ships her with him!"

"Just shipping would be fine, but the male lead's side portrays Jia'ou as a virtuous woman who follows the three obediences and four virtues, which she finds unbearable!"

"But later, this male lead did indeed collapse because his selection of concubines in a villa was exposed! Not only did fans leave him, but he also ended up in prison!"

Seeing such an outcome, Yi Tiantian nodded in satisfaction.

"Don't worry..."

Before she could finish, Jia'ou, who had been standing in front of her with clasped hands, suddenly knelt down with a thud.

"High Priestess, I cannot repay your great kindness. I will kowtow to you here! You are my eternal god!"

Yi Tiantian: ...

Is everyone at WE so eccentric?

"Quick, quick, get up," Yi Tiantian hurriedly pulled Jia'ou up from the ground, "the wicked will be punished by heaven, don't worry!"

However, Jia'ou didn't stop until she had kowtowed three times loudly.

"Um, why are you all dressed so casually?"

And even a bit abnormal.

After pulling Jia'ou up, Yi Tiantian asked with some confusion.

"Oh, because we have a tradition at WE where the most attractive person of the day gets to have an in-depth conversation with President Xie."

Hearing the High Priestess's question, Jia'ou answered without hesitation.

"In-depth conversation?!"

Yi Tiantian's pupils dilated.

"What kind of 'in-depth' is this?!"

"Xie Yi isn't that kind of person!"

From the moment Yi Tiantian entered, countless eyes had been watching her. Hearing her thoughts, many stars were shocked and opened their mouths wide.

Yi Tiantian actually called President Xie by his first name!

They wouldn't believe these two weren't involved unless they were shown otherwise!

In the entire company, from the president and vice-president down to the cleaning aunties, no one dared to call President Xie by his name!

Even the stray dog kept by the company would tuck its tail between its legs when it saw President Xie!

Yi Tiantian was so bold!

It seemed they really had already had an "in-depth conversation"!

Although Jia'ou was also shocked, she quickly explained the details of this "in-depth conversation" to Yi Tiantian.

"Master, the in-depth exchange I mentioned is completely different from the one you had with President Xie!"

Jiaou lowered her voice.

"The in-depth exchange I was talking about just now actually means having a private conversation with President Xie, and then getting scolded!"

Yi Tiantian finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, I see."

But soon she realized something seemed off.

"Wait, how did I have an in-depth exchange with President Xie?!"

Jiaou didn't pick up on this, instead giving two flirtatious glances to indicate that "she understood"!

Yi Tiantian: I don't think you understand at all!!

Jiaou wanted to continue monopolizing Yi Tiantian to increase her fortune and wealth, but a group of eager celebrities pushed her aside.

"Master, Master, my only worry right now is that I have too many pimples on my face, and fans always say my skin condition is poor during events!"

The first to squeeze through was a female celebrity wearing a mask.

"Why don't you eat less junk food and stay up less late? Oh, and don't overindulge in pleasure."

"How did you know I recently found a younger boyfriend who is five years younger than me?! His body is so good, maybe I should consider reducing from three times a day to once a day!"

"You don't have to be so specific... And what's the point of boasting about your young boyfriend to me?!"

After the masked female celebrity was pushed away, another girl with a pure look but dressed in pajamas quickly made a devout wish: "Master, Master, I don't have a young boyfriend. Your faithful follower only wants to make more money! Please bless me so that my next drama can become a hit!"

"This female celebrity usually trains very seriously, often studying scripts alone. Her next role is a wealthy heiress, which suits her well, and it's only a matter of time before she becomes a breakout star!"

The girl in pajamas wished she could perform a song of conquest on the spot: "Master, you will be my only master from now on! I won't believe in anything else but you!"

Although Yi Tiantian didn't understand what the girl was saying, she thanked her with an awkward smile: "Thank you."

Then she saw the pajama girl being squeezed away by a tall man, standing at 185 cm.

"Master, Master, please take a look at me! I have a problem, which is frequent workplace sexual harassment!"

The 185 cm tall man had a perfect, shapely buttocks that both men and women would want to touch.

"But don't misunderstand, Master, it's not President Xie harassing me!"

As if remembering something, the man quickly clarified.

"It's also not someone from WE Company! It's the capital party I encounter while filming outside!"

Yi Tiantian found the man's embarrassed look somewhat amusing, but her strong professional ethics kept her from laughing.

"They always come and touch my butt whenever they can! My perfect peach butt is going to be flattened! Ahhh!"

The man looked up to the sky and cried like a helpless child.

"This... the capital party doesn't really mean to sexually harass, they just can't resist touching his round butt..."

"If you don't like others touching your butt, then tell them boldly!"

Yi Tiantian patted the man's shoulder and said earnestly.

Hearing Yi Tiantian's words, the man felt reborn. He opened his eyes wide and pulled Yi Tiantian's hands in surprise.

"Master, you're truly a god! I will definitely speak up! I can't let them touch me casually anymore! For heaven's sake, to cater to them, I even laughed like a blooming chrysanthemum before..."

Soon, the man with the shapely buttocks was also pushed away by someone else. The person who pushed him away was tall and had a different aura from the previous small celebrities.

This person's presence was clearly more prominent than the others.

And Yi Tiantian recognized this person as well.

It was Cheng Zixu, who had been put on hold by the company not long ago!

Everyone present looked at him in surprise.

"Cheng Zixu? How does he have the nerve to come to the New Year's party?!"

"Yeah, he openly favored a fraudster during a live stream, how disgusting!"

"I really don't want to see such a scumbag again! MY EYES!"

"Cheng Zixu was banned by major platforms for making outrageous remarks on a show, and WE decided to terminate his contract."

"The termination process will be completed after the New Year, and by then Cheng Zixu won't be considered a celebrity anymore!"

Although Yi Tiantian was surprised to see Cheng Zixu, she still smiled.

"Hello, Brother Cheng."

Even though the person in front of her was about to leave the entertainment industry, Yi Tiantian greeted him politely.

Hearing the comments from the crowd and Yi Tiantian's words, Cheng Zixu clenched his teeth.

His hands tightly formed fists, and he felt extremely resentful!

"Don't be fake here!"

Cheng Zixu gritted his teeth and shouted loudly.

"The one who is happiest about me leaving WE is you!"

Cheng Zixu's two loud shouts drew more attention, and the celebrities who were chatting with each other all turned to look over.

"Brother Cheng, you should calm down."

Yi Tiantian looked at Cheng Zixu as if he were a madman.

"Wasn't this guy supposed to do a strip dance? Why is he still clinging to me!"

"You can't even mine gold like you're pure divine gold!"

Everyone around couldn't help but laugh out loud after hearing Yi Tiantian's thoughts.

The believers who had been guided by Yi Tiantian earlier stood up on the spot to applaud their leader.

"Well said!"

"Leader is the best!"

"Hahaha, the Leader truly lives up to being the Leader!"

Seeing Yi Tiantian's calm demeanor made Cheng Zixu even angrier.

It made him seem like a lunatic!

Moreover, his former colleagues were cheering for Yi Tiantian without understanding the situation, which made Cheng Zixu's face turn green with anger.

"Yi Tiantian! Don't think you—@￥@%%"

Cheng Zixu wanted to talk about the thoughts, but all his words were muted.

"You @@￥￥%!!"

Cheng Zixu raged helplessly, but it was useless because not only were his words muted, his mouth seemed to be glued shut with 502 glue!

"Why is Cheng Zixu stuttering now?"

"I'd better stay away from him!"

Yi Tiantian pretended to smile and tried to leave, but Cheng Zixu directly reached out to block her path!

"You're not allowed to leave!"

Cheng Zixu's voice sounded like an angry beast.

"I'm telling you, Yi Tiantian, no matter who you are or what background you have, you've crossed me, and I will definitely get rid of you!"

Yi Tiantian frowned slightly, as if she had thought of something.

The other colleagues all sucked in a breath.

Is Cheng Zixu crazy? How could he say such things so casually?!

The believers were even more alert, their ears perked up.

If anyone dared to harm their leader, the believers would lead the charge!

They would never let anyone hurt Yi Tiantian in the slightest!

"I knew it, Cheng Zixu must be abnormal to say such things!"

"It turns out he took a whole bottle of banned drugs before coming to the annual meeting to boost his courage!"

"The drug components are gradually entering his bloodstream and will soon take effect!"

Yi Tiantian's thoughts made everyone understand.

So Cheng Zixu wasn't crazy; he was on drugs!

But both of these actions were equally despicable!

Cheng Zixu couldn't control his emotions anymore, and he started yelling at Yi Tiantian like a shrew, hands on his hips.

"Aren't you just someone who got ahead by selling your body! In the company, you used your body to steal my top position! In the Twilight Society, there are people protecting you! Just how many people have you sold your body to!"

Twilight Society?!

This mysterious organization was known to anyone who had been in the entertainment industry.

A few years ago, the Twilight Society was relatively low-key, and not many people knew about it.

But in recent years, the Twilight Society's actions have become increasingly high-profile, and many people in the entertainment industry have heard of this organization.

"What are you talking about? I don't understand."

Yi Tiantian wasn't lying; her gossip system recorded very little information about the Twilight Society, so she didn't know what secrets this mysterious organization might hide.

"At this point, stop pretending! Don't think I don't know what kind of person you are! Because you're just someone who sells their body!"

Cheng Zixu had completely lost his mind, repeating this phrase loudly.

At this moment, the colleagues around him looked at Cheng Zixu with increasing disdain.

They never expected that Cheng Zixu would not only have low morals but also be on drugs! Not only on drugs, but also have ties to the evil Twilight Society!

This man was rotten to the core!

At this moment, Yi Tiantian was also deep in thought.

"Cheng Zixu just said someone in the Twilight Society is protecting me? How come I don't know about this?!"

"I don't know anyone from the Twilight Society either!"

"Right, the reason Actor Fei's uncle founded Maiden Island was to join the Twilight Society. Could it be that he still has connections with them?"

"So, it's very likely that Actor Fei secretly helped me, telling the people of the Twilight Society not to target me?!"

"Besides this explanation, there can't be any other possibilities..."

Yi Tiantian thought about it over and over again, but this was the only explanation she could come up with.

The other colleagues, however, began to feel puzzled.

Maiden Island is also related to Actor Fei?!

This world of celebrities is really too chaotic!

Before anyone could think further, Cheng Zixu on the other side had already started acting crazy.

He stripped off all his clothes and began swimming around the annual meeting hall like a fish.

As he swam, he sang, "I am a little fish in your lotus pond, just to wait for your warm moonlight!"

Cheng Zixu was now completely naked, and anyone who didn't know him might have thought he was a homeless man who had just crawled out of a garbage pile!

Everyone looked at Cheng Zixu in shock.

The once glorious and high-ranking WE team leader had actually become so wretched!

It seems that one must do good deeds; otherwise, fame and fortune might backfire!

The followers of the Yi Tiantian Cult all silently thought to themselves.

Yi Tiantian watched as Cheng Zixu, who had now transformed from a fish into a butterfly, flapped his arms and ran around. She shook her head helplessly.

"The drug in Cheng Zixu's body has started to take effect. If this continues, his body will eventually give out and turn into an empty shell!"

Cheng Zixu, pretending to be a butterfly, was loudly singing, "Darling, fly slowly, be careful of the roses with thorns ahead!"

But upon hearing Yi Tiantian's thoughts, he suddenly charged forward at full speed toward her.

Yi Tiantian instinctively felt weak in the knees.

Why do they all like chasing after me?

In the last episode of 'Special Forces Action!', I was just chased by Han Juanjuan for a kilometer, and now Cheng Zixu is after me too!

Is God sending them to make sure I get enough exercise?!

But what she didn't expect was that Cheng Zixu stopped halfway through his charge.

He suddenly changed his tactics, wildly twisting his waist and dancing on the stage, shouting, "The one you love is me, how can you bear to see me sad!"

Everyone knew that this song was Cheng Zixu's debut hit, which launched his career and laid the foundation for his later success.

But unfortunately, after becoming famous, Cheng Zixu took the wrong path and ended up in his current state, neither human nor ghost.

"Life is made up of a series of choices, and Cheng Zixu's mistakes have piled up to the point where it's beyond redemption!"

"What a pity..."

Before Yi Tiantian could finish speaking, Cheng Zixu seemed to be stimulated and quickly rushed to her.

All the colleagues instantly covered their eyes, unable to bear the sight.

Because Cheng Zixu was now completely naked!

"You! Why did you take my underwear!"

Cheng Zixu pointed at the suit pants Yi Tiantian was wearing and tried to pull them off.

Yi Tiantian: !!!

All the followers: ?!!

Fortunately, at that moment, the security personnel rushed in and restrained the high-spirited Cheng Zixu.

Cheng Zixu, pinned to the ground, continued to shout loudly.

"Yi Tiantian! Give me back my underwear! Give me back my underwear!!"

Just then, a deep and stern voice echoed through the annual meeting hall.

"Drag this lunatic out!"

Everyone trembled at the sound of this voice.

Then they all became meek as kittens.

Because the person who had just arrived was none other than the company's big boss—Xie Yi!

Seeing the boss speak, the security personnel immediately lifted Cheng Zixu, who was thrashing about on the ground.

"Be quiet!"

But at this point, Cheng Zixu was completely out of control, still wriggling and spouting obscenities.

"Yi Tiantian! Give me back my underwear! My underwear closed shop for you!"

The security guard, thoroughly annoyed by Cheng Zixu, reached out and covered his mouth that was spewing nonsense.

"Go sing somewhere else if you want to!"

With that, under everyone's watchful eyes, Cheng Zixu, along with a few of his clothes, was thrown out like trash.

As the door closed, the corridor still echoed with Cheng Zixu's "beautiful and melodious" singing.

"Your underwear has closed shop for me, my sorrow can only be naked..."

Upon hearing this nonsensical lyric, everyone at the scene burst into laughter.

"I used to think Cheng Zixu was some kind of gentle god, but it turns out he's just a nutcase!"

"Who would have thought! After taking drugs, he's like a completely different person, it's hilarious!"

"This is all his own doing! Drugs are something you should never touch! He brought this upon himself!"

Xie Yi had no idea why Cheng Zixu had become like this, but after overhearing the comments around him, he confirmed a suspicion he had long harbored.

During Cheng Zixu's peak popularity, he often ran several shows in a single day.

At that time, Xie Yi had specially arranged for him to take a break, but Cheng Zixu insisted on continuing to work.

Back then, everyone thought Cheng Zixu was a god of dedication, but Xie Yi heard from Cheng Zixu's agent that he had been acting strangely recently, as if he had taken some prohibited drugs...

But due to lack of evidence, the matter was put on hold.

Now, it seemed clear that the overly excited Cheng Zixu back then was on drugs, and his current erratic behavior was also due to drug use!

Xie Yi strode out, exchanged a few words with the security guard at the door, and then returned to the annual meeting venue.

Everyone in the room held their breath, fearing that the irritable Xie Yi might lash out at them.

However, to everyone's surprise, the first thing Xie Yi did upon returning to the venue was not to go on stage and speak, but to walk straight toward Yi Tiantian.

Seeing Xie Yi approaching her, Yi Tiantian's hair stood on end.

Although she wasn't afraid of Xie Yi, the big boss, her colleagues around her seemed quite intimidated by him.

This made Yi Tiantian slightly nervous as well.

But Xie Yi only walked up to Yi Tiantian and softly asked, "Were you hurt just now?"

Yi Tiantian took a couple of seconds to react, then gently nodded and said, "No, he was just being crazy and didn't touch me."

Only then did Xie Yi nod slightly, the concern on his face instantly vanishing, and he resumed his usual cold and stern demeanor.

Standing on the stage, Xie Yi looked solemnly at his subordinates below and began his speech.

"Hello everyone, I am Xie Yi. Last year..."

However, the subordinates below were not paying any attention to what President Xie was saying; they were all charmed by his contrasting personas!

"Though it may seem disrespectful, I think the Master and President Xie make a great pair!"

"Exactly! When facing the Master, President Xie was so gentle, and now he's back to being the ice-cold CEO!"

"Shipping at the scene is the best! I'll start by shipping them!"
