Chapter 473: Chapter 323 I Eat a Lot_1

The sun was setting in the west.

People were stuck in the slow crawl of rush hour traffic after work, while some still remained in the office, working overtime against the backdrop of the sunset.

In a certain office building.

An employee came out of the break room, sat back down at their desk, and leisurely sipped on a cup of coffee.

They planned to take a short break, scroll through some news to relieve the boredom, and then continue the battle.

As they looked at the hot search topics of the moment, the employee scoffed disdainfully, "A bunch of trivial things on the trending list!"

There was a celebrity event tonight, and the hot search list had already been dominated by entertainers and stars. Whether the names were familiar or not, they all seemed to be on fire.

Their gaze swept over the topics on the list and finally landed on #HeartfeltBrotherhood#.

Seeing such topics could bring to mind all those marketing tactics they had seen in the past, where anything could be fabricated or acted out for the sake of traffic!

"The world is going downhill! The good old days are gone!"

They moved the mouse, intending to click in and leave a few scathing comments.

And then they saw that viral video.

"Holy shit!"

They almost spit their coffee all over the keyboard.

"It really is heartfelt brotherhood! The technical difficulty is no joke!"

They set down the coffee and clicked to replay.

To see again how it was swung!

Thinking back, the one called "Feng Chi" who got spun was truly pitiable; just putting themselves in his shoes made their head spin.

The employee looked on sympathetically, and then pulled over the keyboard to leave a comment:

[Hahahahahaha!]

The mocked Feng Chi didn’t want to look at his phone or open any social media!

As someone who had become a laughingstock across the whole network before the event even started, if he wasn’t thick-skinned, he wouldn’t have continued to stay at the event site!

He regretted once again why he had to act so rashly at that time!

Feng Chi wiped his face.

Since regret was useless, he might as well abandon the idea of fleeing. Feng Chi cheered himself on!

"Successful people must go through hardships to develop an iron will!"

As entertainers and stars, one must go through their fair share of awkward situations.

In another part of the hotel, the makeup room.

The up-and-coming idol Lei Sheng was getting styled.

His agent was browsing the internet for videos and comments, particularly the one where Feng Yi swung Feng Chi.

"The original marketing plan hadn’t even been implemented, and the topics about you have already been brought up—it’s an unexpected blessing!"

With all parties moving tonight, including seasoned pros and top influencers, it was a scene of an epic battle. Lei Sheng, as a newcomer, didn’t seem sufficient for the competition. Unexpectedly, he had become a topic of discussion this way.

Although he was just a backdrop, as long as it brought traffic without negatively impacting his image, it was a good thing.

After all, it wasn’t their artist who got spun in the air!

Meanwhile, in Lin Weilan’s styling room.

Her agent took a screenshot of that shocking scene and handed it to her:

"Remember this expression; use it as a reference when you act in a scene of fright next time!"

Lin Weilan: "..."

Many people thought that those two would ride the wave of popularity. At a time when they could hardly get a mention amid the battle of titans, it was a great opportunity for them to be brought into the conversation.

But to everyone’s surprise, they were unusually well-behaved today.

In the hotel, Feng Chi finished getting styled and came out.

Although he was only planning to be a background figure, he wouldn’t let his outfit slip; his mother had prepared it for him.

Feng Chi’s mother had made quite a bit of money with her own skincare brand and was always generous in supporting him.

He went upstairs to find Feng Yi, just as Feng Yi was coming out of his room.

Feng Chi immediately came over to share with Feng Yi:

"My God, I just heard some hot gossip—an agent demanded that their artist has at least three scandals before the end of the year, gender or race doesn’t matter! You better be careful! These days, not only female artists, but male artists are dangers too! You don’t mingle in the circle, so keep your distance or you might get disgusted to death!"

Feng Yi responded and then asked, "Do we have to walk the red carpet later?"

"Yeah, a bunch of reporters, a whole crowd of fans!"

"Together?"

"No way, no way," Feng Chi hurriedly said.

Walking with Feng Yi could seem like he was riding the coattails of his fame. His role for the day was crystal clear—he was just there to make up the numbers!

While their family relationship did indeed provide numerous talking points, it disrupted their original plans and rhythm.

Except for that newly trending topic.

Because of that topic, Feng Chi decided to keep a low profile today, trying to reduce his presence as much as possible. If he walked the red carpet with Feng Yi, the topic that had just cooled down might surge again.

They took a car to the venue, where there was a preparation area.

Feng Chi’s agent took him to meet a few veterans, splitting up from Feng Yi.

Due to that wildly spreading video online, when Feng Chi arrived at the venue, many people could not help but smile knowingly upon seeing him.

Feng Yi was led to an area surrounded mostly by stars and entertainers. Although he didn’t mingle, he was still arranged to be there.

There were megastars and veteran actors, none of whom had risen just by manipulating numbers.

Among the veterans was also a reptile enthusiast.

"When I was a child, I raised snakes too—I had several very beautiful ball pythons. Back then, the regulations were lax, and you could have them. But not anymore, laws are strict now, and many reptiles can’t be kept privately," the veteran actor said enviously looking at Feng Yi.

Feng Yi didn’t keep snakes at home, but he did sponsor them in the zoo, and his work allowed him to interact with various snakes.

This veteran actor had been following Feng Yi on social media for a while, watching him catch and keep snakes, as if he were involved himself.
