Godfather of the Queens' Scandals

Chapter 40: The Misunderstanding with Domestic Gen Z Girl Groups

Peninsula Girl Group Super Topic:

[Haha! Traitor Kim Mi-ji is really getting worse with age. She gave up being a Korean idol and went to Tokyo University to become a leftover.]

Are solo artists now only fit to sit in the audience? That's really beneath them.

Now she can only hang out with a few other trainees.

What if she doesn't debut after being born at the University of Tokyo? I'd really like to know.

[We must vote for her rival then, so she knows the consequences of abandoning the Peninsula fans.]

#IamTheKingofSingers #SuperTopic

Yuan Xu is amazing! He came in first place three times out of three. He's a true gold-medal musician.

[I didn't expect him to personally take the stage. I feel like there's something going on between Yuan Xu and Yu Tianhou, isn't there?]

[Hilarious! Yu Qingwan, who has been divorced eight times, is so popular with netizens!]

Why isn't Balenciaga obediently handing over a global brand ambassador contract?

[Yuan Xu hasn't joined the music association yet? Is this a sign of a conflict? The music association is in a bit of an awkward position now.]

[Diyu Entertainment's attempt to outsmart the competition backfired, instead helping the show "King of Singers" reach number one in ratings.]

In a corner where no one paid attention, DiYu was severely humiliated this time.

"The Real Singer," which followed "I Am a Singer" and tried to ride its tail, not only failed to gain any traffic this time, but was actually drained dry.

Everyone online is talking about the King of Singers, who cares about the singers?

The latter's ratings plummeted, and the person became virtually unknown.

The crucial point is that DiYu Entertainment is holding an investment promotion conference tomorrow, and they'll be publicly humiliated again; their face has been slapped so hard.

Moreover, with Yu Qingwan's comeback, problems began to emerge within DiYu Entertainment, and many stars considered not renewing their contracts.

There's never just one uprising, as a famous soccer star once said: not 1, not 2... not 7.

The better Yu Qingwan lives, the worse Diyu will live.

This is the aftereffect of Diyu being dragged out of the battlefield.

When a self-proclaimed "god" who considers himself superior to the masses and celebrities sheds his first drop of blood, he is no longer a god.

They not only have a chance of losing, but the probability of losing is increasing.

And they couldn't even be sure of the true identity of the god-killer!

……

Bala Building, training floor.

"Hey!"

Cui Xiaoen ambushed Xu Yuan from behind, trying to pat him on the shoulder.

But Xu Yuan had already heard the footsteps and turned around to press down on Harley Quinn's head with one hand.

"Hey! Why are you touching other people's heads again? Don't you know that's very impolite... Chu Gu Lei, I told you not to touch hair!"

"Hahaha!"

Yin Zhen'er and An Xue couldn't stop smiling.

Shu Ningran rolled her eyes, still angry that Xu Yuan had used her U8 to perform a U-turn on the spot without permission.

Of course, it wasn't real energy; she just wanted to find something to criticize about Xu Yuan to balance out his opinion of her.

Subsequently, the initial stage participants gradually arrived and entered training mode.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Yuan drove away from the building.

Kim Mi-ji invited him to dinner, saying she was grateful for his help with the low blood sugar she experienced at the elevator last time. Since she had a legitimate reason for doing so, Xu Yuan didn't refuse.

But when they arrived at the private room, Xu Yuan discovered that there was another beautiful woman next to Kim Mi-ji.

She wore an oversized brown leather baseball jacket over a white tube top, revealing her slender, sexy waist.

She wore loose-fitting military green cargo pants, which looked good, sporty, and sexy.

The overall style is more like a Korean-style energetic young woman.

Kim Mi-ji wore a simple off-the-shoulder white shirt and a black high-waisted long skirt, with a beige coat over it.

"Hello, I am Meizhi's older sister, Xue Yuting."

"Hello, I'm Xu Yuan."

The two greeted each other.

The other person made no attempt to hide their strong celebrity aura, but Xu Yuan didn't delve into it. His curiosity was quite limited; he only paid attention to the people and things around him.

He prefers to supplement his understanding of his friends through real-life interactions rather than relying on Baidu Baike (a Chinese encyclopedia).

Similarly, Xue Yuting also made an initial judgment about Xu Yuan.

Handsome, really handsome!

His eyes, in particular, were both pure and weathered.

When this kind of person turns bad, girls really have no resistance.

It's like a kind-hearted person playing a villain; it's creepy.

The other person looks very young, but their actual age is probably older than they appear, perhaps around thirty?

He showed no surprise at being an "extra person," as if no change would affect him—was it because he had a clear conscience, or because he was already prepared?

Not recognizing oneself—considering one's level of fame in mainland China, this is somewhat unusual.

Xue Yuting is a member of SALA, a domestic "generation zero" girl group launched by Tencent Entertainment two years ago.

As mentioned before, there are two types of domestic girl groups.

One type has mostly mainland members, but their skills are not up to par; it's a water group.

A powerful group of green card holders, but whose members are mostly foreigners.

SALA is the latter, which is why it didn't make much of a splash in China, but it became incredibly popular in the peninsula and Southeast Asia.

However, Xue Yuting has a very high level of popularity in mainland China, surpassing that of most young actresses and actors, because she is the only mainland member of SALA, which gives her a home advantage, and she is also a regular guest on a popular domestic variety show.

in the country, you may not know SALA, but you will definitely know Xue Yuting.

"Actually, there's no need to treat me to a special meal to express my gratitude. It was just a small favor." Xu Yuan sat down and looked at Kim Mi-ji, speaking naturally. "You're making it so formal, it's putting pressure on me."

Kim Mi-ji forced a smile.

But there was always a sense that his eyes were avoiding Xu Yuan, and at the same time, there was a hint of... sorry in his eyes.

Xu Yuan observed the situation and gained some understanding of what was going on.

This was not simply a thank-you party or a date to get to know each other better.

Xue Yuting seems to be standing up for Kim Mi-ji...?

Soon, the waiter brought out the food.

Everyone ate and chatted.

Xue Yuting has a very outgoing personality, typical of northerners. She is naturally sociable and adept at warming up the atmosphere and breaking the ice.

It was like a gathering of old friends.

"By the way, Xu Yuan, where are you from?" Xue Yuting asked casually.

"Sichuan."

"A person from Sichuan? It's not easy for them to settle down in Haidu. That's impressive. Ouli Sunshine isn't cheap."

"You've got it wrong, the house isn't mine."

"Huh? It's rented?"

"More or less."

After a round of conversation, Xue Yuting's brows gradually furrowed.

Out-of-towners specifically rent apartments here at Ouli Sunshine.

If someone comes from a wealthy family, then they're a rich kid chasing after celebrities.

If someone comes from a poor family, they might be a scheming man from a humble background or a paparazzi.

None of this is good news.

They could all do the worst thing she guessed last night.

"So what kind of work do you do now?"

"It's quite a mixed bag."

How varied is it?

"My friend was bullied and exploited by her former employer, so I helped her protect her legitimate rights."

Xue Yuting nodded; this sounded like the words of a professional debt collector.

"Then another friend's project ran into some problems, so I stepped in to fill in and help her out."

Xue Yuting: That's a classic line from thugs!

"A friend also asked me to buy something."

Xue Yuting's hand trembled slightly as she picked at the vegetables; she'd switched to being a paparazzi!

The paparazzi industry in the entertainment sector is a shady, gray industry, a mixed bag, with many of its members having transitioned from petty thugs to ordinary people.

"By the way, I'm planning to open a shop nearby, selling drinks, so you can come and sit down when you have time."

Xue Yuting nodded, having basically ascertained the situation.

This person is going from black to gray, and is preparing to go from gray to white, but lacks start-up capital, so he went to great lengths to move into Oli Sunshine, wanting to hunt for celebrities and demand money.

However, the possibility that he is selling to both sides cannot be ruled out, taking the money while also leaking information.

Considering the recent scandals involving celebrities who do not live in Ouli Sunshine, either he kept his promise or Kim Mi-ji was the first to be arrested.

The former is fine; as long as you pay, it's fine.

But the latter...

The safest way is to get evidence of his secret filming, molestation, and blackmail, and send him to jail before he exposes it.
