Chapter 6: Quit The Industry? What’s The Difference Between Me Now And Quitting?
「Hahaha.」
「Teacher He is really such a nice guy.」
「Although but, why do I feel like Hu Ye roasts people so satisfyingly.」
「Lin Jingyi is a drama queen herself, she’s just as bad as Hu Ye, what star power does she have to be talking about Hu Ye?」
「No matter what, Hu Ye was once the face of the group for Rise, may I ask what works does Lin Jingyi have?」
Bullet comments boiled over because of Chi Ye’s first counter-kill, the guests on stage covered their faces and let out weird screams no matter what they were thinking.
Teacher He is right,《How to Evaluate》 is originally a current affairs debate variety show.
But… damn it, since the live broadcast started, they haven’t truly debated or（output） at all.
At this moment, Lin Jingyi’s pretty face was pale with a flush of red, unexpectedly making the technology look a bit more natural like flesh, she moved her lips a few times but couldn’t say anything.
The director saw this scene and felt half chilled inside.
Lin Jingyi, as the main output position, was left flustered and at a loss after just one round against Chi Ye.
They can’t possibly have the highly respected Teacher Huang step in personally, right?
“Um…”
Fortunately, Lin Jingyi is an artist after all, she took a deep breath and quickly steadied herself, almost without hiding it, grinding her teeth: “As a member of the former Rise boy group, watching your former teammates Peng Chen and Shen Qing Yu getting more and more popular, what do you feel?”
“Peng Chen is now a top streamer, netizens dug up your alt account and found you cursing your teammates every day on your alt account, saying you’re jealous of them for getting popular, is that true?”
“She’s still outputting!”
“Jingyi sis, go for it!”
“Can’t bear to watch, I really can’t bear to watch anymore…”
The people around let out more howls, Lin Jingyi rallied and output sharply again, instantly winning cheers from the whole room.
She stared tightly at Chi Ye: “Are you jealous that Peng Chen is more popular than you?”
“That shows you don’t quite understand the relationship between us.”
Facing the gazes from everyone, Chi Ye shook his head in denial: “I admit Peng Chen is popular, but no matter how popular he gets, he can’t out-red my eyes.”
“What do I have to be jealous of him for? Aren’t my eyes red enough? Do I need to be jealous of him?”
“Pfft hahaha.”
“This works?!”
“I’m done!”
“Ah…”
The live performance instantly exploded again, Chi Ye pointed at his own eyes: “Even if I were jealous, I wouldn’t just be jealous of Peng Chen alone, everyone knows I’m petty, I’d jealously treat everyone equally!”
“Chi Chi! Chi Chi!”
Chu Luan Yu was already laughing convulsively on the side, still frantically cheering for Chi Ye.
“My turn.”
Chi Ye didn’t give Lin Jingyi or anyone else time to react, staring at Lin Jingyi to start the turn-based game: “Why don’t you like eating stinky tofu?”
Lin Jingyi was stunned, pouted and said: “Don’t like it means don’t like it, what’s there to why.”
Chi Ye stared at her mouth: “Is it because the stinky tofu isn’t ‘stinky’ enough?”
Lin Jingyi: “……！！！”
You go die!!!
“Hahahaha.”
“My god…”
“Sorry Teacher Lin… I really can’t hold it in.”
“The one who should apologize is Teacher Huang.”
As soon as Chi Ye said this, the impact was no less than detonating a nuke, whether on stage or off, or the audience online, everyone instantly burst out laughing.
What a line “Is it because the stinky tofu isn’t ‘stinky’ enough?”
Gone mad, Chi Ye has gone mad with kills!
“Isn’t it?” Chi Ye was still pressing.
Lin Jingyi’s face went deathly pale.
Her gaze instinctively turned to Teacher Huang, who was sitting right next to her at the moment, she simply couldn’t answer.
Seeing this, Chi Ye pursued relentlessly: “Why are you looking at Teacher Huang? Are you hungry again?”
“Ah, save me!!!”
“Hahahaha.”
Upon hearing this, Chu Luan Yu completely broke down, directly burying her little head into the sofa, not daring to look at anyone.
No good, she was really going to laugh herself silly.
“You…”
Lin Jingyi was similarly speechless, even on the verge of being roasted to tears.
Because she really didn’t want to carry the reputation of being a glutton!
How is she supposed to survive in the industry from now on?
“Ahem, I… I have a question.”
Seeing Lin Jingyi completely defeated, the female resident Xiao Qi stepped forward after getting the director’s forceful instructions via headset, her face looking mournful.
Chi Ye turned his gaze sideways, as did the others.
“Chi, Chi Ge, I’ve also collected a few questions that everyone cares about.”
The female resident’s voice was even weaker, her tone even more so, just short of writing “The program team made me do it” on her face.
Chi Ye was slightly stunned, then nodded readily: “Go ahead.”
“It’s just…” The female resident organized her words, mustered her courage and asked: “Everyone says your current popularity is all from riding on Sheng Ning Teacher Sheng’s… um… can I say this? The program team told me to say it, all teachers, it’s not on me!”
Towards the end, sensing the gazes from Teacher He, Chu Luan Yu, even Teacher Huang, the female resident was about to cry and directly sold out the program team.
“Do you like Sheng Ning’s popularity that much? I heard Sheng Ning’s team and fans have huge opinions… Chi Ge, convenient to talk about it?”
“Program team, well done!”
“Not huge opinions, they stopped work from being ridden on!!”
“That’s more like it! It’s almost over, and no one dared to output at Hu Ye, what’s the point of inviting Hu Ye this episode?”
The audience below reacted enthusiastically, with Sheng Ning’s fans “weeping with joy”.
Hu Ye has done all the bad things, the whole world should know his “evil deeds”!
But the guests and residents on stage didn’t add a finishing blow.
Because Sheng Ning’s star power is indeed huge, NO1 among the 95 little flowers, traffic queen, top of the four little flowers, and she herself has evolved into capital.
Among young little flowers, except for the national white moonlight fairy sister at the very top, no one has bigger star power than her.
Teacher Huang doesn’t dare pull senior status in front of her.
“Sheng Ning ah.”
Chi Ye didn’t make things hard for a little resident, instead staring at the program team director below the stage, resounding: “Then you inviting me here, isn’t it because I rode on Sheng Ning’s popularity? No, I should be the one asking you that.”
“Does your program team like Sheng Ning’s popularity that much? Like riding on it that much? Can’t afford to invite Sheng Ning, so invite me instead?! You’re really dogs!”
“Hahaha!”
“Aaaah!”
“Unfamiliar, this isn’t the beautiful trash Hu Ye I know!”
“Why do I kinda like Hu Ye now…”
“Real talk.”
The audience below instantly erupted in cheering.
The program team was asked dumbfounded, feeling the heat wave from the surrounding audience, their faces turned waxy yellow.
The director suddenly felt a wave of regret.
He shouldn’t have asked!
“Xiao Qi.”
Chi Ye turned back to the female resident: “Must be really tiring usually, right? Don’t you often feel guilty?”
“Ah? Feel guilty?”
The female resident was dumbfounded: “No ah, wh-why would I feel guilty?”
“No?” Chi Ye scanned the guests and program team: “Anyway, if I were you, speaking against my conscience every recording of this program, I’d definitely feel guilty.”
“OMG!”
The male resident directly let out a shriek, then reacted and gestured to the program team below: “Not on me, I didn’t say it!”
“Chi Chi, stop, if you keep going tomorrow you’ll have to quit the industry.”
Teacher He was completely numb too.
He realized the program couldn’t continue broadcasting.
If this segment kept going, Chi Ye might really make the program voluntarily cut off broadcast.
Chi Ye was very self-aware: “No worries, what’s the difference between my current state and quitting the industry?”
「Can’t anymore, stomach hurts.」
「I came to see Hu Ye get roasted, why am I laughing like an idiot now…」
「Seriously suspect Hu Ye has been possessed!」
「I’m out, this episode obviously has arranged script to hype Hu Ye, how could his eloquence be this good?」
「Slipping away.」
“Is this the mental state of today’s young people?”
Teacher He grabbed the microphone and blocked in front of Chi Ye, bowing to the audience below and the camera: “Alright, today’s program live broadcast ends here…”
“Hahaha!”
Laughter filled the area below the stage, but the originally planned group output segment, carried out to now, could already be declared a total collapse.
After this battle, Teacher Huang realized this little traffic guy isn’t afraid of him and didn’t want to step in and embarrass himself further.
Lin Jingyi was roasted into a daze, on the verge of tears.
No one dared to keep firing at Chi Ye, the rest of the program was bland and pointless, no different from being over.
Twenty minutes later, the live broadcast shut off.
And the moment the live broadcast ended, the originally harmonious studio instantly cooled down.
The audience began dispersing and leaving, Teacher Huang and Lin Jingyi faces ashen, they coldly glanced at Chi Ye and turned to leave without looking back.
Chi Ye rubbed his own waist.
“Sigh, what got into you today?”
Teacher He looked at Chi Ye, shook his head and sighed, before Chi Ye could reply, he took the script and trotted to Teacher Huang’s side, advising something in a low voice.
“Hey, imperial brother, now you’ve thoroughly offended Teacher Huang.”
Chu Luan Yu took the thermos cup handed over by the assistant, took a small sip, shaking her head: “He’s famously petty.”
“Emperor?”
Chi Ye’s attention was on Chu Luan Yu’s form of address, puzzled: “Did I ascend the throne?”
“Yes—im,perial brother.” Chu Luan Yu emphasized seriously: “Prison brother’s brother!”
Chi Ye: “…”
“Offend him then, he hates someone as excellent as me, must be his own problem.”
Chu Luan Yu’s eyes lit up, slapping the table in admiration: “Right! Said perfectly!”
“We resource people are always unwelcome in the industry, today’s you did great! When facing those ill-intentioned people, you should counter back with resource person tactics!”
“Ah?”
Chi Ye looked in surprise at this exquisite and beautiful top resource person in front of him.
Chu Luan Yu was a bit moved by herself: “We resource people should stick together, that way we won’t get bullied and can righteously use relationships to get resources!”
Chi Ye: …
Yeah, what can you say, as expected of her.
“Alright, let’s go, off to post-recording.”
Chu Luan Yu had already put on a beige long trench coat, waving her little hand at Chi Ye.
“Post-recording?” Chi Ye was stunned: “What’s post-recording?”
Chu Luan Yu also paused: “After recording the program, there’s post-recording to do, there’s also pre-recording before recording, no one notified you?”
Chi Ye: “…Oh, they did, but I don’t want to go.”
Chu Luan Yu was dazed for a bit, very cooperative: “Oh, then I’ll go first.”
