Chapter 16: I am being used as a springboard
Meng Yuan came over and saw someone walking through the corridor, he asked casually, “Who was that just now?”
“It’s Xie You, he seemed to come over for something, and I just happened to meet him.” Yu Nian saw Meng Yuan hurriedly and asked, “What happened?”
Meng Yuan was annoyed, “I finally fucking find out,” he lowered his voice, “Isn’t there a replacement singer in this episode? He was arguing with Lao He in front. He thinks that the guest singer arranged by the program team to sing with him is not popular enough, not popular enough? Is the Emperor worthy of him? He didn’t look at where he was first!”
Yu Nian suddenly understood, “Because of me and Xia Mingxi?”
Meng Yuan snorted twice, “More than that, you invited Yu Qing, Xia Mingxi invited Sun Lin, who has been popular for more than ten years, and Xu Xuan’s company wanted to promote her as the face of a girl group, so they especially found a senior sister who was popular to come here and help the newcomer. The other party just released a new album, and she was quite willing to come over and promote it.
The program team did not treat them badly, and they paid a lot of money to invite two powerhouses. Although the other doesn’t have as much traffic as the three of you, it’s still very good. “
He knew that Yu Nian didn’t like to talk about things behind someone’s back, “I’m just reminding you that this Ouyang Yu is a troublemaker, and he won’t stop when he comes over.”
He also heard Ouyang Yu questioning He Qiubai, saying why Yu Nian can partner with Yu Qing, and he can only be with a singer who is about to pass? But he was afraid that Yu Nian would be under psychological pressure, so he didn’t mention it.
Yu Nian nodded, “Brother Meng, don’t worry, I will pay attention.”
Just as he returned to the dressing room with the pastries, Xia Mingxi, who had already finished the rehearsal, rushed over and pulled Yu Nian to gossip, “I found out that I really made the right choice by coming to this show!”
Yu Nian was amused by his shining eyes, “Because there is gossip everywhere?”
“That’s right! It’s a complete gossip fountain!” Xia Mingxi was excited, “Fang Huai had gone before, and now Ouyang Yu has come. I think Director He is going to lose all his hair!”
Yu Nian was puzzled: “Speaking of which, I just searched, isn’t Ouyang Yu taking the actor route?”
“It’s acting. He just acted as the male lead of a popular idol drama, and now there’s a web drama being broadcasted, it’s called “Cyan Love”. His company should be preparing to support him, and let him sing to earn exposure.” Xia Mingxi pouted, “His fans’ fighting power is really strong. If he instigates from the side, 80% of the show’s official blog will blow up.”
Yu Nian understood, “But the program crew will definitely not give in, otherwise it will offend the guests.”
“Yes, so I have a hunch that this Ouyang Yu is probably going to do something!”
Half an hour later, Ouyang Yu strode into the dressing room with two assistants and deliberately looked at Yu Nian from beginning to end without saying a word.
Yu Nian didn’t care about the attitude of others. He was opening the wooden food box sent by Xie You, preparing to eat pastries to cushion his stomach.
Xia Mingxi came over, saw the words printed on the food box, and was surprised, “The pastry of that house on Qinghe Road? The owner is old now, and he only makes ten boxes a day, which is extremely difficult to buy!”
Yu Nian paused, “Is it difficult to buy now?”
This pastry shop is very close to his home. He liked to eat it when he was a child. The owner of the pastry shop would send a box every few days, and he would especially make the pastry in the shape of small animals to make him happy.
However, how did Xie You know that he likes to eat this family’s pastries? Or is it just… a coincidence?
“Yes, my mother used to like it very much, and under the huge psychological pressure of gaining weight, she asked the assistant sister to line up, and it took three full days to buy it!” Xia Mingxi frowned and looked at the pastry box, “I weighed three more pounds two days ago! The cookies were all confiscated! If the agent found out that I was eating sweets, it would definitely be a life-threatening event!”
Yu Nian closed the lid of the food box, “Okay, I won’t stimulate you, I’ll go back and eat slowly.” He thought in his heart that Xie You’s return gift was so attentive, it seemed that he liked the candy he made. He’ll try to make a few more kinds of candy at home. Maybe when he sees him next time, he can give Xie You a taste again.
It turned out that both Meng Yuan and Xia Mingxi’s predictions were correct.
Yu Nian was wearing a loose cotton T-shirt from wholesale, with a white towel draped over his shoulders. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, and just as he picked up his phone, the WeChat alert sounded one after another. He clicked on it, and sure enough, Xia Mingxi sent a bunch of links and screenshots.
He clicked on one of the links, and found that it was a post called “Ouyang Yu used his real name and revealed the shady side of the program group, claiming to be unfairly treated and eliminated from the show”.
Behind the long title floats a big word “Boom”.
Yu Nian clicked in.
“—Ouyang Yu? The name sounds familiar, is he the male lead of that web drama? He is really good-looking! But why did he start singing?”
“—Brother is really brave! He is just a small newcomer who is not yet popular, but he was eliminated because of the shady deals present in the program group. Now he dares to stand up and reveal the truth, it is really not easy!”
“—Don’t want to lose like this? Accusing the program group of being shady, after elimination? Doesn’t he have shame? And the program has not been broadcasted yet, and he already revealed his ranking. Is this behaviour okay?”

“—It seems there really is something shady here. Don’t say about Xia Mingxi, we can’t afford to offend the second generation of stars! Xu Xuan, the lead singer of an 18th-tier girl group, has also invited popular traffic! The one called Yu Nian is even more exaggerated, he is a complete newcomer, and yet he actually called Yu Qing to perform with him! Nothing shady is going on? Are you really stupid enough to believe that?”
“—Don’t bring Nian Nian. Your family and the program group can tear each other up, don’t involve our Nian Nian. Our Nian Nian just wants to sing well!”
“—Just want to sing well? Is he pretending to be innocent? The fourth episode hasn’t aired yet, and the rankings haven’t been released, right? But the first place must have been decided by default, believe it or not?”
“—Nian Nian deserves first place! Don’t you have eyes, can’t you see his singing and dancing skills? Where did so much news about fixing and shady deals come from?”
When Yu Nian saw this, he cut back to the page and replied to Xia Mingxi with a frown, “Is Ouyang Yu going to pull everyone into the water?”
Xia Mingxi quickly made a voice call, his tone was not calm, “Where is pulling everyone, he is pulling you! He didn’t dare to touch me, Xu Xuan is a girl again, and the effect is not big. You are a hot topic right now and the heat is also high. Look carefully at the water army he bought, and the wind direction directed by his powder fans. He just wants to put the shady pot of the program group on your head!”
Yu Nian took a sip of water to quench his thirst, “Then I became the biggest beneficiary of the program group’s shady deals and he was the victim? But he has been eliminated now. What is the purpose of doing this?”
Because of Yu Nian’s steady tone, Xia Mingxi’s speed of speech became much slower, “I heard that his agent have some connections and wanted to put him in a popular variety show. “Sound of Nature” was just the springboard. But he wasn’t strong enough and didn’t succeed in taking off, so now he had to stir up a wave of heat himself.”
Yu Nian understood that he was being used as a springboard.
Xia Mingxi scratched his hair, “In this situation, don’t read the comments on Weibo, it must be very bad.”
Yu Nian knew that he was worried about himself, “Okay, thanks Mingxi.”
Meng Yuan also talked about this matter when he was eating lunch.
“Ouyang Yu’s ambition is not small, but he has a good vision so he is targeting you.”
Yu Nian put down his chopsticks and said with a smile, “Brother Meng, are you complimenting me?”
“I’m complimenting you!” After Meng Yuan found out about this, his anger didn’t go away, but after looking at Yu Nian, his mood improved a lot, “You’re really good at it, you won the first place in four consecutive games. Just wait for this episode to broadcast, once this episode will be broadcasted, you will occupy a wave of hot searches! 80% of the fans will be hooked.”
Yu Nian hasn’t seen the whole recording, “When I was dancing, I was complained by Yu Qing for being too young.”
“Enough is enough, what I want is this kind of involuntary feeling of seduction in the youth!” Meng Yuan stared at Yu Nian’s facial features, smiling while watching, “Seeing your face, you brother Meng, I can eat two more bowls of rice!”
He said to Yu Nian again, “This time, let Ouyang Yu dance for two days. When the show is broadcast, let those blind people see it. If you don’t take first place, who can take first place!”
Office.
Xie You finished the video conference, loosened his tie, tilted his head and asked Qu Xiaoran, “What happened to Yu Nian?”
Qu Xiaoran lay crookedly on the sofa. Seeing that Xie You was finally done with his work, he quickly sat up and asked for credit, “Is this brother loyal enough? As soon as I knew that something happened to your family, I hurried over to find you!”
Xie You held three cross-border video conferences in a row in the morning and didn’t have the time to pay attention to Yu Nian’s news. He was a little worried and asked Qu Xiaoran with a frown, “What happened to him?”
Qu Xiaoran has already organised the wording, “It’s just an idol doing drama. He was eliminated from the show, and now he is saying that the program group has some kind of shady deals. Yu Nian winning the first place a few times is also because of some connections, and now he’s storming on the internet.”
Xie You directly asked the key point, “The purpose of that person?”
Qu Xiaoran: “I just got the latest news, that Ouyang Yu, who is doing things, has received news that he will be able to appear in another popular variety show because of this wave of heat. This program crew is just the springboard.”
After listening, Xie You thought for a few seconds, “Because of the wave of heat this time?”
Qu Xiaoran nodded, “Well, that’s right!” He gave Xie You supplementary lessons, “It’s just like, your family’s Nian Nian wants to record an album seriously and hold a concert, sings very well and the quality of the record is high, but you still have to have someone to buy it, right?
As sad as it may sound, this is the status quo. You have to have the heat so that others will really take a look at you, listen to your singing, and appreciate your persistent efforts.”
Xie You’s mind stirred.
He remembered that when Yu Nian sang, his eyes seemed to be filled with the starlight – he really likes singing.
“But this Ouyang Yu only dares to blacken Yu Nian before the show is broadcast,” Qu Xiaoran continued, “Yu Nian is really good! We wanted to make a shady story, but we didn’t have a chance! Don’t know from where Meng Yuan has dug him up, but he really takes the first place based on his own level!
I asked Meng Yuan, and the cooperation with Yu Qing in this episode is also wonderful. When the show will be broadcasted and catches the heat, it will definitely reverse the situation and harvest a wave of hot searches!”
Hearing the name “Yu Qing”, Xie You remembered the scene he saw during the rehearsal, and he stopped for a few seconds without speaking.
Qu Xiaoran didn’t notice the slight change in Xie You’s expression, and whistled twice, “This young master is waiting to be slapped in the face! Shady deal my ass!
