I was persecuted and turned into a teenage idol

"I told you it was just an accident, don't make a big deal out of it! I, Hong Dapeng, have worked with hundreds and thousands of female celebrities in the entertainment industry over the past ten years, why are you the only one making such a fuss?!"

"You did it on purpose!" Having been accused again, Yu Yan, who was somewhat "childish" by nature, explained even more hastily, "Your hand clearly just went over my skirt!"

"Nonsense!"

His expression changed, and Hong Dapeng slammed the megaphone in his hand to the ground with a loud thud, causing the staff to turn pale and turn to look at him.

"What did I touch you?! Who saw it?! To put it bluntly, among the actresses I've worked with over the years, there are top-tier actresses and international superstars! What are you, a mere newbie who just started out?! And you dare to spew such slander here?!"

"You—!" Yu Yan gritted her teeth, about to continue arguing.

A dozen or so staff members walked over in unison.

Chapter 72, Section 26: Shameless Scoundrel

"Alright, alright, stop arguing!"

"Brother Dapeng, don't be angry. She's just a little girl who just debuted."

"Your name is Yu Yan, right? Isn't it normal to bump and bruise yourself during filming?!"

"Brother Dapeng is a highly respected veteran photographer in the industry, how could you possibly wrong him?!"

"Even Zhang, an international star, has to be polite to Brother Dapeng. You really don't know what's good for you, little girl."

"Brother Dapeng, don't take it to heart with a child."

"You, you..." He never expected to be surrounded and attacked by more than a dozen people, who then turned the tables on him.

Yu Yan was so angry she was almost crying, clutching her skirt tightly with both hands, unable to speak.

Seeing her teammates being outmaneuvered and nearly taken advantage of, Su Jian could no longer hold back and finally stepped forward.

"Yu Yan is right! You did it on purpose!"

"Huh?" The sound stopped abruptly, and everyone turned their heads in unison.

Su Jian swallowed hard and walked over, puffing out her cheeks: "You were trying to grope me during the filming! But I dodged you and didn't succeed."

The staff members looked at each other, and finally all looked at Hong Dapeng.

Hong Dapeng's face flushed red and then paled, his expression finally hardening: "Nonsense! Why didn't you say anything if I touched you just now? What—this newly debuted little group is going to frame me? Hahahaha... How ridiculous!"

"That's because you didn't succeed, and I don't want to make a big deal out of it!"

Su Jian argued his case based on reason.

"But now you're not only taking advantage of my teammate, you're also falsely accusing her of framing you! So I have to come out and expose you!"

"Do you think you're some kind of righteous hero?" Hong Dapeng sneered. "I'm too lazy to explain to you little girls! I didn't do it, and that's that!"

“I can testify too!” Xu Momo stepped forward, followed by Ouyang Qingzi and Ran Yulu.

"You tried to touch me just now, but I dodged you!" Xu Momo glared at Hong Dapeng. "You did it on purpose—!"

"Hahahahaha..."

The oppressive look on his face suddenly vanished, and Hong Dapeng burst into laughter.

What's wrong with this guy?

Su Jian and the others were puzzled, watching him put his hands on his hips and the staff beside him slowly back away.

"By the way, what company do they belong to?" He turned to look at the staff member next to him.

"It's 77 Pictures."

“Oh~ Seven Seven Pictures!” Hong Dapeng shook his head and smiled. “I have worked with Seven Seven Pictures for seven or eight years, so we are old friends.”

He abruptly changed the subject: "Where are their agents?"

Su Jian and the others exchanged glances, then turned their heads together with the staff.

Everyone's gaze instantly fell on a certain corner.

In the corner, Ye Xing sat quietly with his legs crossed, sipping a steaming cup of tea.

"You're their agent?" Hong Dapeng asked, frowning.

Ye Xing took a small sip of tea, slowly put it down, stood up, and nodded: "Yes."

He took out a handkerchief, wiped his hands, and walked slowly to Hong Dapeng.

"Since you are an agent for Qiqi Pictures, and I have been a partner of Qiqi Pictures for many years, let's get straight to the point."

Hong Dapeng sneered arrogantly.

"Your artists are now collectively slandering me! I, Hong Dapeng, am considered a veteran in the entertainment industry. Doesn't Qiqi Pictures owe me an explanation?!"

Ye Xing remained silent, only nodding with his head down.

Seeing him nod, Hong Dapeng laughed even more arrogantly.

In his eyes, a newly debuted small group and a small manager are nothing.

Given his experience, these guys will eventually have no choice but to apologize obediently and take the initiative tonight...

Thinking about how these young girls hate him to the bone, yet he has to submit to reality, he felt a pang of resentment.

This sense of conquest was precisely why he entered the entertainment industry in the first place, and it also satisfied his increasingly perverse, evil, and insane desires.

"Now—I demand a sincere apology from you! Otherwise, today's filming is canceled, and from this day forward, I will never have any further cooperation with 77 Pictures!!!"

"you--!!"

Su Jian clenched her fists, and the four people beside her also gritted their teeth, extremely annoyed with the photographer with the mustache.

How could this person be so shameless!

And these staff members... Su Jian had long understood that they were all in cahoots.

Or rather... taking advantage of others or engaging in unspoken rules is no secret, and it's not the first time; they're just pretending to be unaware!

but……

This old guy seems to have a lot of experience, and as I just said, the unspoken rules are an open secret in the industry and have become a very normal business practice.

This matter will probably end up being left unresolved, and I might even have to apologize to him!

But...why?!

Thinking about this made him feel very unwilling, but he also understood that he had to do what Ye Xing asked.

Su Jian's fists clenched so tightly they cracked, and the girl's face turned as red as an apple with anger.

"I'm only giving you thirty seconds to consider!"

Seeing that Ye Xing did not answer, Hong Dapeng sneered even more smugly.

"Otherwise, don't blame me for teaming up with other photographers to blacklist your group! I'd also appreciate it if you could tell the person in charge of Qiqi Pictures that because of what happened today, I'm afraid I can no longer cooperate with you in any way!"

Leaving behind his final words with an air of dominance, Hong Dapeng sat down, adopting an emperor-like demeanor as he awaited Ye Xing and the girls' decision.

Su Jian and the others immediately turned their uneasy gazes toward Ye Xing.

Ye Xing's head was lowered, his expression was obscured, and no one knew what he was thinking.

This brief silence turned into a terrifying stillness, a vibration so distinct that everyone's heartbeats were clearly audible.

"Oh? You want to blacklist us?" Ye Xing finally raised his face slowly, his expression blank. "You mean... you want to go against our Qiqi Pictures?"

"I'm not targeting 77 Pictures, I'm targeting you all!!!" Hong Dapeng had completely turned hostile and spoke directly.

"Cotton Candy Girls is a key group launched by 77 Pictures, symbolizing the company's hard work and flagship status," Ye Xing said calmly. "You want to blacklist Cotton Candy Girls... which means you're openly opposing 77 Pictures, and even Awai 77!"

"you……"

They naturally looked down on this small group and its manager.

77 Pictures isn't exactly a behemoth.

However, the capital behind Qiqi Pictures, Awai Qiqi, is an absolutely formidable behemoth that Qiqi Pictures fears greatly.

Hong Dapeng was surprised that Ye Xing had brought the matter to the point where he was going to oppose Qiqi Pictures, and he immediately stood up in a panic.

"Don't try to manipulate the probabilities! I said—you have to apologize to me! Otherwise..."

"Since that's the case... I have something to tell you now."

Shaking his head, Ye Xing pulled a contract out of his pocket.

"You have been fired."

"What...what did you say?!" Hong Dapeng's eyes widened, thinking it was his imagination. "Are you kidding me! I..."

"According to the terms of the contract, you have violated the provisions by obstructing the filming process and damaging the reputation of 77 Pictures and the Cotton Candy Girls group."

Ye Xing slapped the contract across Hong Dapeng's face.

"You're fired."

Chapter 73, Section 27: My Girlfriends Were Stolen

"Uuuuuuu..."

He instinctively closed his eyes and took a few steps back as the contract was thrown at him.

"Brother Dapeng!"

The staff rushed over to help him up, and Hong Dapeng grabbed the contract and immediately regained his balance.

"You little brat! A mere agent like you dares to bully me, Hong Dapeng? Do you know my status in the industry? Even the head of your Qiqi Film Studio has to give me some face! You think you can go against me!"

Having completely torn off the pretense of civility, Hong Dapeng spoke frankly and openly.

"You look unfamiliar. You must be the new agent! Let me tell you, I have a deep partnership with Qiqi Pictures. Today, you either kneel down and apologize to me, or you can expect to receive your termination letter!"

With a fierce expression, Hong Dapeng glared angrily at Ye Xing.

“Brother Ye Xing…” Ouyang Qingzi looked at Ye Xing with concern.

After all, Hong Dapeng was right.

A newly debuted group and a new manager are far too insignificant, especially compared to an old hand who has been in the industry for over a decade and has deep connections.
