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

Chapter 525 Alkaline proteins are those that can neutralize acidic substances.

"Sister Bai, you're too kind. This achievement is the result of everyone's hard work!"

Ye Xian hadn't seen Bai Jie for a long time and missed her somewhat. However, with several movies in pre-production, Bai Jie had practically staked her entire fortune on Ye Xian, so she was personally involved in many aspects of these films. Even the promotion and distribution of "Hello Mr. Billionaire" was a full-fledged effort for her.

"Don't be so polite with your sister. I've been busy with the movie during the Lunar New Year holiday, so I haven't had time to visit you. I'll come visit the set after the holiday and make it up to you then!"

It's clear to the naked eye that "Hello Mr. Billionaire" has brought Baixiang Entertainment tremendous returns. Bai Jie wanted to do everything in her power to thank her benefactor, but unfortunately, it was still a critical moment. To expand the success, she couldn't relax for a moment before the movie was taken off the screens, so she could only vent her frustration verbally.

She increasingly regretted not being ruthless enough to win over Ye Xian back then, which allowed Ding Zhan to gain a huge advantage for nothing.

However, she also admired him somewhat. Rather than saying that Ding Zhan signed Ye Xian, it would be more accurate to say that Ye Xian signed Ding Zhan. Young people who had such a clear vision for their future development were simply superhuman.

"Then I will wait for my sister's arrival in Haizhou."

Ye Xian was already used to talking to these driving-loving older women. After exchanging a few polite words, he hung up the phone and turned around to see a pretty face staring at him with big, watery eyes.

Qiu Qing didn't say anything, but Ye Xian already understood everything.

A deep kiss instantly neutralized all the bitterness in the little plum's heart.

My chemistry teacher was right!

Alkaline proteins are those that can neutralize acidic substances.

……

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the box office of "Hello Mr. Billionaire" continued to rise, surpassing 7.8 million yuan. "The Legend of Tang Dynasty" fell in response, with its box office remaining at only 1 million yuan.

"The Great Tang Dynasty" continues its strong momentum, still grossing 5.5 million yuan at the box office, while "Blue Cat's Fantasy Story" remains popular with children, grossing 7.3 million yuan at the box office.

With a box office of 21.5 billion yuan in three days, "Hello Mr. Billionaire" dominated the trending topics list. Ye Xian and Li Xin quickly became the hottest stars. Many interesting stories from their live broadcasts were dug up by marketing accounts and various fan-made creations were made.

Ye Xian and Li Xin's growth trajectories have been continuously summarized by marketing accounts, media accounts, and knowledge accounts.

People who didn't know much about Ye Xian and Li Xin before have learned about their relationship and growth history through short videos and essays such as "How Ye Xian grew from a small blogger on the verge of bankruptcy to a billionaire" and "How Li Xin turned from a travel and food blogger into the hottest female star" and "N things between Ye Xian and Li Xin" and "The untold secrets between Ye Xian and Li Xin".

One of the gossip posts was written in a very ambiguous way.

A year ago, Ye Xian and Li Xin were just ordinary Kuaishou bloggers. Li Xin was doing better, with 100,000 followers, while Ye Xian was just a nobody on the verge of bankruptcy. It was because Li Xin and Duan Fei saw Ye Xian's "stunning good looks" that they went to Haizhou to meet him in person.

We don't know the specifics of the meeting, nor do we know what kind of backroom deals happened, but from that night on, Li Xin and Duan Fei seemed to be bewitched, frantically promoting Ye Xian and constantly driving traffic to him.

This behavior is absolutely the kind of groveling and fawning that comes from being love-struck. Otherwise, how could Li Xin and Duan Fei have possibly supported Ye Xian, who only had a handsome face to offer?

After that, Ye Xian became famous with several hit songs, and he did not forget his former lover, Li Xin and Duan Fei, and signed them to his company.

Here's the key point: Li Xin and Duan Fei, two people with no singing skills and no acting skills, were somehow trained by Ye Xian to release songs and star in "Dream of the Red Chamber" and "Hello Mr. Billionaire." This goes far beyond a normal boss-subordinate relationship. Think about it carefully!

Which investment firm would promote two such promising young women? Without special connections, would Ye Xian waste resources on them? Couldn't he have given the opportunity to Chen Xu? Or Li Hong? Aren't either of them prettier than Li Xin and Duan Fei? Don't they have better figures? Don't they have better acting skills?

Therefore, ultimately, the relationship between Ye Xian, Li Xin, and Duan Fei is definitely not ordinary. If you don't believe me, let's wait and see!

……

This gossip piece was written in a seemingly plausible but ambiguous way. It neither defamed any of the individuals involved, yet every word was laced with ambiguity. Even Li Xin exclaimed in amazement, "What a talent! If I weren't involved, I would have believed it too!"

Duan Fei clicked her tongue in amazement: "I'm even involved? By the way, when did our bus-driving business get exposed?"

"Get lost! When did we start operating a public bus service? You're just dreaming about it!"

Li Xin mercilessly exposed Duan Fei's true colors.

"Alright, my great actress, you're now an overnight sensation. How have you been these past few days?"

After the two met on the first day of the Lunar New Year, they didn't see each other for two days. In those short three days, Li Xin's status in the industry rose like a rocket, and she naturally felt the difference at home.

"Ugh, my head is killing me! I wish I could rush back to Haizhou and get back to work right now!"

Li Xin was almost collapsing on the phone: "Now all my relatives have come to our house. All sorts of cousins ​​are surrounding me, constantly asking for autographs and photos. Today they bring up blind dates, tomorrow they bring up borrowing money, and the day after tomorrow they want me to arrange for their family members to work at Qiuye Yanxuan!"

My parents were initially quite happy, but now they can't help but want to kick us out. The problem is, at this point, the colder you are, the more likely you are to be scolded.

This afternoon was even worse; everyone started discussing my marriage to Ye Xian. My mother actually believed it and kept asking me if it was true.

Duan Fei chuckled, "Then come find me. I don't have anything to do at home anyway."

Li Xin sighed: "I would like to, but the problem is that it's been a year, and I finally get to spend a few days with my parents. I can't bear to leave them alone at home."

"Then why don't you go with them? It could be a short trip or a road trip, anything is better than staying at home." Duan Fei thought about it; it was indeed a worry.

She wasn't even that famous yet; she only acted in "Dream of the Red Chamber," and when she got home, her relatives treated her like a big star. Not to mention how famous Li Xin is now.

"That's a good idea!"

Li Xin was immediately delighted. "You're trying to harass me, but if I can't beat you, I can at least run away!" After hanging up the phone, she called her parents to go out and play.

Li Xin's parents had also lost their initial excitement over the past few days, exhausted from being bothered by relatives and neighbors. When Li Xin suggested going out, they readily agreed.

At this point, who cares about saving face? It's already a good thing if things don't fall apart.

There are many reds.

This is something that many overnight celebrities inevitably experience.

Some people endure it, and then it passes.

Some people can't handle it and become the ones being exploited.

Ye Xian was also affected by this.
