QWAPMP Chapter 30
by VolareThe location for signing the contract was at Yan’s Building. Yan Ye had already placed the prepared contract on the table, just waiting for Song Xi’s signature.
After a month, upon meeting again, the smile on Song Xi’s face hadn’t faded.
“Take a look at the contract. If there are no issues, sign it.” Yan Shi pushed the endorsement contract to the other side of the table and took a pen for him from the pen holder.
Song Xi’s eyes widened, confirming that it was the same contract Yan total sent him last night and hadn’t been switched. He quickly signed his name.
“Happy collaboration,” Yan Ye said with a smile, extending his hand.
Song Xi was still a bit dizzy, gripping the contract with black text on white paper tightly. Qiao Xin saw Yan total’s hand still lingering in the air waiting for Song Xi to shake it and immediately gave him a look.
Seeing Qiao Xin’s gaze, Song Xi reacted mechanically, extending a hand to shake Yan Ye’s. “Thank… Thank you, Yan total, for giving me this opportunity!”
He was truly grateful that the other party kept their promise and gave him this chance.
Originally, Song Xi thought he would have to wait until the drama aired before Yan total would sign the contract with him, but he didn’t expect it to be so soon.
Yan Ye saw the gratitude in his eyes, slowly released the handshake, and smiled, “I hope my judgment isn’t wrong!”
Choosing Song Xi as the endorser this time was his personal decision, not the company’s, so it was not wrong for Yan Ye to say this.
So far, he still believed in his own judgment.
A week later, the official announcement for Baosen’s endorser still hadn’t been made, but the love variety show episode that Song Xi participated in finally aired. At the same time, three official announcement Weibo posts hung on the top of the Weibo trending list.
On the first day of broadcast, Song Xi was cursed onto the hot search by Luo Fei’s girlfriend fans and boyfriend fans.
The trending topics were all cursing Song Xi as a pretentious man, a troublesome man. If he didn’t want to participate in the show, he should go home. Why bother trying to get exposure?
“Does the production team have no one else? Why invite such a troublesome person?”
“Damn, what kind of look is that? How dare he look at Luo Fei with such disdain?”
“TMD, a grown man playing a game, gives up before even really starting?”
“Ahhh, can’t this idiotic show just cut out this pair? We want to see the other three pairs, they are so sweet…”
“Idiotic production team, strongly demand that our Luo Fei gets a different guest!”
“Clearly Luo Fei had a chance to win, but he had to give up to accommodate this pretentious man!”
…
Song Xi was still sleeping soundly at home, completely unaware of how his reputation had become, until he was woken up by a phone call from his manager, Qiao Xin.
“Song Xi.” Qiao Xin suppressed his anger, but ultimately couldn’t hold back and shouted, “I just want to ask you, for that love variety show, didn’t you take on the persona of a gentle and melancholic young man?”
Song Xi rubbed his eyes, changing from lying down to sitting up. He held the phone to his ear with one hand and let the other hand rest on the duvet, hesitatingly asking, “Yeah, wha… what’s wrong?”
He had a bad feeling.
“You still have the nerve to ask me what’s wrong? Go look at Weibo right now!”
“Okay, I’ll go look right away.” Song Xi found an excuse and quickly hung up the phone.
“What’s going on so early in the morning? Why is Brother Qiao’s temper so bad? Is he going through menopause?” Song Xi muttered, brightening his phone screen and opening Weibo.
At this moment, in addition to Song Xi’s manager, Xia Tao was also paying attention to these online opinions on Weibo.
Xia Tao sat in his office, constantly checking Weibo on his phone. He couldn’t understand how an artist with such little fame could be chosen by their Yan total.
If Song Xi’s reputation continued to be this bad, would it really be okay for him to be the endorser for Baosen?
In the past, Xia Tao would have switched people without hesitation, but this time the person was chosen by their Yan total.
Xia Tao couldn’t question Yan Ye’s choice, so he could only wait and see if things would change, or if the public relations department would take action.
The outcome of the first episode of the love variety show was what Yan Ye had anticipated, but Song Xi never expected that he would be cursed onto the trending list because of his attitude towards Luo Fei.
A familiar number called in. As soon as Yan Ye answered, he heard the familiar voice.
“Yan total.”
This address of “Yan total” was said very cautiously, with a hint of grievance unconsciously mixed in.
Song Xi felt he hadn’t done anything wrong. Why did those people only see the surface and not the heart? What was so good about Luo Fei, that hypocrite who was different on the inside and out!
After Song Xi finished reading those trending topics on Weibo, he immediately thought of Yan total and wondered if the Baosen endorsement he had just signed would be terminated because of his reputation issues.
Song Xi’s hand was almost trembling as he dialed this number, his heart filled with anxiety.
He was afraid of hearing the words “You’ve disappointed me too much” again.
“Congratulations, your visibility has increased a little,” Yan Ye said slowly, his finger on the mouse next to the computer.
He opened a video, muted the sound, confirmed that the post-production editing was decent, and then replied with a “hmm” to the person on the other side.
“I’m sorry, did I disappoint you?” Song Xi lowered his eyes in disappointment, gripping the phone in his hand tightly.
“Heh…” Yan Ye chuckled in his throat, turning his office chair to face the night view outside the window. “You are very brave, why would I be disappointed?”
The male supporting character was indeed very brave. He knew what he wanted and would strive to get it, but in the process of being brave, he used the wrong method.
Song Xi didn’t hear the sound of disappointment but instead praise for him. He was stunned for a moment, confirmed he hadn’t misheard, and when he wanted to ask another question, he realized his phone had gone black.
The call suddenly disconnected. Yan Ye rarely frowned, called back, and found it couldn’t connect, so he stopped.
Thinking of Song Xi’s voice just now, Yan Ye still sent a message to the public relations department.
“After the second episode of the love variety show airs tomorrow, guide the public opinion towards being favorable to Song Xi.”
Originally, he hadn’t planned to let the public relations department intervene, but remembering the person’s aggrieved voice on the phone, Yan Ye’s heart softened.
After the phone finished charging and turned on, Song Xi’s finger paused on the dialing screen, frowning as he thought about the meaning of Yan total’s words just now!
He was very brave? Where was he brave? Was it beating Luo Fei?
Or did Yan total actually dislike Luo Fei too?
Song Xi held his chin and thought for a long time, only coming up with this idea.
…
The episode of the love variety show that Song Xi participated in was edited into two parts. While everyone was extremely disgusted with Song Xi, the next day brought a reversal.
[Song Xi Rescues Person]
[Mo Xu Jumps into Water to Rescue Someone But Gets Rescued Instead]
[Luo Fei is Selfish, Refuses to Give Life Jacket to Teammate…]
Clicking into these trending topics, every single one was related to Song Xi.
However, no one expected that the man who was cursed as pretentious and troublesome would jump into the water without hesitation to save someone.
And Luo Fei, who was sympathized with by everyone, didn’t even dare to give Song Xi a life jacket to wear to save someone.
The netizens who had just become fans couldn’t help but have their filters on Luo Fei shattered.
“What is this Luo Fei doing? Didn’t he see Mo Xu was about to sink, yet he still refused to give the life jacket to Song Xi?”
“Waiting for the production team to send someone to rescue, Mo Xu would probably be at the bottom.”
“Idiot, I’m so angry watching this. What is he dawdling for? Hurry up and take it off! Fortunately, Song Xi jumped down to save him, otherwise, I would have been so anxious I’d smash my phone.”
“Is Mo Xu sick? A person who can’t swim still wants to act like a hero saving the beauty!”
“I was still praising Luo Fei yesterday, and today I really want to go back to yesterday and slap myself. It’s a matter of life and death, what the hell is he dawdling there for?”
As the discussion grew higher, Luo Fei’s fans also came out to speak for their idol and express indignation.
“Mo Xu can’t swim and still jumped down. What does him wanting to be a hero saving the beauty have to do with our Luo Fei?”
“Exactly! Can’t swim yet tries to act like a hero saving the beauty, how embarrassing!”
“Oh my god, just because someone can’t swim doesn’t mean they can’t save people? At least our Mo Xu has a kind heart, unlike a certain person whose heart is completely black and just watched someone drown.”
“The person upstairs, believe it or not, I’ll sue you for defamation. If Luo Fei didn’t save the person, it must be because he couldn’t swim!”
“Hahaha, this is hilarious. In the interview for ‘Water Dragon Legend’, which dog said there were no stunt doubles used for the underwater scenes and he did everything himself? Is that also defamation?”
To show his professionalism, Luo Fei publicly claimed he didn’t use a stunt double. The male lead in “Water Dragon Legend” happened to be a dragon, and Luo Fei had many underwater scenes in this drama. When facing interviews, he denied using a stunt double.
Now that this matter was brought up by netizens, Luo Fei’s face turned pale, and the veins on his hand gripping the phone bulged. “MD, Song Xi…”
“Stop looking at Weibo for now, try to figure out how to calm this matter down first!” Luo Fei’s manager said helplessly. Luo Fei had mentioned someone falling into the water during filming before, but he never expected this could be related to Luo Fei.
Moreover, the production team even aired this part. If yesterday’s love variety show allowed Luo Fei to gain a large number of fans, then today would cause these fans to unfollow and even turn against him.
Yesterday, they saw that the online opinions were favorable to Luo Fei and bought a lot of water army accounts to criticize Song Xi.
The situation had become irreversible, and Luo Fei could only choose to apologize and admit that he couldn’t swim. It was better than saying he could swim, because if he could swim and still didn’t save Mo Xu, that accusation would be more serious than him lying.
Luo Fei didn’t want to listen to his manager’s words and apologize. He lowered his head, his face gloomy, “Let’s wait and see!”
The second episode of the love variety show was airing tomorrow. Maybe the popularity of Song Xi’s name would decrease, and everyone wouldn’t remember this matter anymore.
Song Xi was staring at Weibo at this moment, completely dumbfounded. He never expected things to reverse so quickly, and moreover, he had gained a large number of fans.
His Weibo followers increased from one million to ten million. The wrap-up Weibo post he retweeted recently went from a few hundred comments to hundreds of thousands of comments, and everyone seemed to be thanking him and wishing him well.
[Thank you, little brother, for saving our Mo Xu, followed.]
[Setting aside everything else, I apologize. I shouldn’t have cursed you for Luo dog.]
[Hope the drama little brother stars in becomes a huge hit.]
[When I watched this episode of the love variety show just now, I felt Luo Fei was very fake. The gentle male supporting character is just a persona, and only his idiotic fans think he’s gentle and kind, and keep defending him, ugh…]
[I don’t know if you noticed, but when they were swinging on the net bridge, Luo Fei’s crotch kept deliberately pressing against Song Xi? What was he trying to do?]
[Sister, I didn’t notice until you said it. As soon as you said it, I watched it again, and it’s true. No wonder Song Xi always looked down on Luo Fei. If it were me, I wouldn’t look down on such a person either!]
…
Scrolling down, all the netizens’ comments were similar. Song Xi couldn’t help but quietly laugh, forgetting that he was using his main account to check Weibo, and couldn’t resist liking that comment.
