I just want to sell products, but you're forcing me to perform talents.

Chapter 113 I brought my top courtesan!

This time, Ye Xian truly realized that he was now a public figure.

He can't be called a star, but he's definitely no longer the nobody he used to be.

"I'm sorry, I made a mistake!"

As Ding Zhan protected the two people and led them forward, he apologized to Ye Xian.

He also underestimated Ye Xian's popularity.

Ye Xian shook his head and said, "It's nothing. Nobody expected these people to be so crazy. I didn't see any bloggers with more followers than me crowding around. What's the point of them crowding around me?"

"I guess it's because you're too handsome!"

Ding Zhan sighed, "Don't you even look at what those bloggers behind you look like without beauty filters?"

Which one is more attractive than you?

Which one has a better figure than you?

Who is as talented as you?

These people are already quite restrained; everyone can just take pictures. But once you have more obsessive fans, even your convenience store won't be safe.

……

Not far away, Sun Li, Wang Feifei, and Wang Yin arrived with their local fan group. The group immediately formed a human wall, keeping the onlookers out.

The organizer's security personnel also rushed over and began to evacuate the crowd.

From afar, Xiao Sheng watched Ye Xian surrounded by a crowd and spat out a mouthful of phlegm: "What the hell? This little blogger with only a few hundred thousand followers became a star after singing a crappy song? I wonder where they found these shills!"

In fact, not only the audience gathered around, but the media also flocked to the scene.

This group of people is more sensitive than the audience.

They realized that after tonight, this local singer named Ye Xian would definitely become a sensation!

So they followed Ye Xian and his group, taking pictures constantly. They even captured the scene of the crowd surrounding them, which was all great material.

Media reporters swarmed around, their camera flashes going off everywhere, which resulted in even more spectators crowding towards them.

Nobody knows what happened, but with so many people here—reporters, security personnel, and people clamoring for autographs—there's bound to be some excitement.

People of the Tang Dynasty loved to watch a spectacle.

……

Ye Xian was filled with remorse.

In the afternoon, he asked Qian Duoduo to drive his little Liuling back to get his laptop. When they returned, there were no parking spaces left, so Qian Duoduo parked the car far away.

Ding Zhan's car was the same.

This is what concerts are like; the parking lot will always disappoint you.

Driving is fun for a while, but the return trip is so tiring you'll throw up.

"What should we do? There are more and more people, and the cars are parked far apart."

Even though Ye Xian had always been calm, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious at this moment.

He wasn't panicked at all even when surrounded by so many people.

But now, he's starting to panic.

This group of people, fine, they're surrounding me, but why do they keep reaching out and grabbing my chest... my clothes?

And someone even touched my butt!

unacceptable!

Ye Xian hunched over, afraid that someone might reach their hand in front of him.

That would mean I'd die before I even got started!

Just as Ding Zhan was about to speak, a horn beeped from the adjacent lane.

Turning my head, I saw a white luxury car slowly and steadily pushing its way into the crowd.

With so many people, the luxury car didn't seem afraid of hitting anyone and just kept pushing forward.

"Ye Xian, get in the car!"

Amidst the cacophony of voices, Ye Xian keenly recognized that the voice belonged to Bai Jie.

He couldn't understand why the other person would appear in Haizhou at this time, but he still escorted Qiu's mother to the car.

When Sun Li saw a car waiting to pick her up, she breathed a sigh of relief, then shouted in a loud voice, "Hey, don't push me! I'm pregnant! Don't push!"

The crowd gasped and all took a step back.

Damn it, you're pregnant, why are you still squeezing into crowded places?

The media reporters were all startled, thinking that if something went wrong, it would be a big deal.

Sun Li swaggered forward, her pregnant belly protruding, to the luxury car.

Ye Xian pulled Qiu's mother close behind, opened the car door, and climbed inside.

Once in the car, Bai Jie became unrestrained, honking the horn frantically and gradually increasing the car's speed.

Seeing that they could no longer get close to Ye Xian, everyone could only disperse.

This is because Ye Xian hasn't become completely famous yet; otherwise, even if Bai Jie drove the most luxurious car today, she wouldn't be able to walk past.

……

"How was it? Did you experience the joy of being a star?"

Bai Jie glanced at the still-shaken group in the rearview mirror and laughed, "Didn't you say before that you only sold products and didn't want to be a celebrity?"

"How was I supposed to know that instead of targeting celebrities, this group of people would target me! I even called out to Tang Feng from behind, but a lot of people still gathered around."

Ye Xian replied irritably, while Qiu's mother helped him fix his messed-up hair and clothes, complaining, "You old Ding, you're still so unreliable!"

Sitting in the passenger seat, Ding Zhan touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.

I've really embarrassed myself today!

It's truly dereliction of duty for an agent to put their own star in such a dangerous situation.

I want to drink!

However, I've already promised Ye Xian I would quit!

I'm punishing myself by running 10 kilometers home today!

"Thanks to Sun Li, she's so clever! Why didn't I think of that?"

Autumn's mother praised Sun Li, who was squeezed next to her, and Sun Li chuckled, "Xian-ge promised to make me seafood porridge tonight, we can't delay!"

Everyone burst into laughter, their earlier embarrassment instantly vanishing.

"Okay, okay! Auntie will make it for you herself!"

The more Qiu's mother looked at Sun Li, the more she liked her. This girl was responsible and energetic: "Ye Xian, didn't we say before that once things were stable here, we would have Sun Li resign and come over? Now I feel that's about time."

Ye Xian nodded and said, "It's time to come. We have over a million fans now; we can't afford to do anything small-scale anymore. Sun Li, what do you think?"

Sun Li laughed and said, "As long as you feed me, I'm fine with going anywhere. I've been working since I graduated, and I'm used to traveling around."

Ding Zhanshun chimed in, "Ye Xian, now that your songs are a huge hit, many singers and streamers have sent in applications for commercial licenses and cover versions. There are also quite a few variety shows and programs that want to use your commercial licenses, and some TV dramas and movies have also sent in applications. So, you need to set up a department specifically to manage your music copyrights."

"I haven't made much money yet, but I have to support a whole bunch of people!"

Ye Xian patted his forehead, feeling that he was about to get very busy.

Bai Jie pursed her lips, not wanting to say anything more, but finally couldn't help but say, "Ye Xian, I'm sorry for my oversight last time."

The crowd quieted down; everyone knew why Bai Jie had come.

Ye Xian laughed: "Sister Bai, you can't see into someone's heart! I know very well that such a low-level tactic could not have come from you, otherwise you wouldn't have come to me so many times."

Today's internet celebrities are not the stars of the past. They haven't received any training, many lack social skills, and some even have low levels of education. They only have a few skills, yet they are ambitious and have caught the wave of short videos and live streaming, embarking on paths they never dared to imagine before, which makes them somewhat unscrupulous.

This is a large part of the reason why internet celebrities remain internet celebrities and cannot become stars.

I believe he looked down on me, and he was definitely instigated by others, but all of that is in the past.

Didn't you understand the song "Laughing at the Mortal World" that I sang before?

In Ye Xian's previous life, this is how the top MC was ruined, let alone Da Fei, a small streamer.

Bai Jie let out a breath. She could sense that Ye Xian was genuinely magnanimous, not just being polite insincerely. However, she still needed to maintain a proper attitude.

"To express my apology, I've brought my top performer this time!"
