Chapter 27: The Awkward Brothers

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Gu Che picked up his phone and sent a message to his manager, asking him to release some of the negative news he had gathered.

[Gu Che: keep him busy. Then he won’t have time to put on the shows.]

He ignored him but it didn’t mean that he didn’t know what Zhou Yan was thinking.

He couldn’t be bothered to look at this kind of person in the past, but he was trying to gain popularity by using his sister now. Did he think he was just a decoration?

His manager quickly replied and asked him to see the hot search.

“Hot search?”

Gu Che opened the hot search and found that the LLU brand had officially announced the spokesperson for this summer’s limited edition perfume, and it was Zhou Yan.

The person in charge of LLU in China was Director Zhao, who had wanted to treat him to a meal.

He did not attend.

Later, Zhou Yan built a relationship with Director Zhao and became the spokesperson.

However, after the spokesperson was decided, Zhou Yan came to participate in the variety show, so he should have not shot the promotional film yet. Logically, LLU would not make an official announcement so soon.

The good thing about not making an official announcement was that fans from both sides are tearing each other apart, which would indirectly increase the popularity of this brand. One of the reasons why Zhou Yan’s fans and haters attacked him was because LLU had decided Zhou Yan to become the spokesperson from the beginning, and he wanted to take the bread out of a newbie’s mouth.

As long as the top celebrity was involved, this light luxury brand seemed to become even more prestigious.

The front row of the official announcement post was full of controlled comments by Zhou Yan’s fans, and the real comments could only be seen at the back.

[It’s funny, right? His fans kept clamoring for Gu Che to steal his endorsement, but the official announcement was still him. Could it be that a thief posing as a judge, Gu Che was the first candidate they considered?]

[Who would believe that an idol who has only debuted for half a year would have such good resources?]

[Hey, Zhou Yan had entered the industry very early. He only became popular after participating in a talent show half a year ago.]

Very quickly, Zhou Yan’s fans retorted, saying that it was LLU comparing many candidates and acknowledging that he was the best. They even listed other male stars, including Gu Che. This time, they had stirred up a hornet’s nest and everyone started to argue again.

Gu Che didn’t see anything from this. What was the big deal?

He exited the hot search and found a new hot search. He opened it and saw that it was a photo and video of Director Zhao drinking with Zhou Yan.

This was nothing, but the distance between the two had exceeded the normal social distance between men and women.

The marketing account just said, “Interpret yourself”.

All of a sudden, there were all sorts of comments. Zhou Yan’s fans offended people everywhere for the sake of an endorsement. Fans from various families found this handle and attacked them in all kinds of ways.

Gu Che exited the chaotic comment section.

[Gu Che: You made this?]

If the manager had solid evidence, he would have revealed it long ago. Moreover, he had reached an agreement with his manager that he had to inform him of anything he did. If he was too lazy to deal with Zhou Yan, the manager would not move. The manager would only take action when Gu Che asked him to do so.

[Jintong: What do you think?]

His handsome face immediately turned dark. Before he could retort, Jin Tong sent him a new message.

[Jintong: The artist who was plagiarized will make an official statement to explain the truth after the first season. In addition, the original film that was recorded at the time would also be released. You will no longer be taken advantage of after this.]

His pupils trembled.

[Gu Che: Who did it?]

When he was recording “Journey to the Stars”, he found that Zhou Yan had used the work of his fellow talent show classmates and claimed that it was his work. Gu Che’s words were sharp and the other party burst into tears on the spot.

However, when the show was broadcasted, only a few of Gu Che’s most vicious comments and the scene of Zhou Yan crying were edited, but the cause and effect were not explained. Of course, Gu Che was attacked by many parties as soon as it was broadcasted.

The show group shouldn’t have treated him like this, but he refused to give Zhou Yan a direct pass to the finals, which offended the biggest investor.

Even the top celebrity could not win against the capitalists.

After that, Jin Tong tried everything he could but he couldn’t get the original recording. Therefore, he couldn’t restore the truth of Zhou Yan’s crying. Most of the staff and contestants who were involved in the recording had been bribed. A small number of them stood up but were immediately shut out by their companies.

Jin Tong couldn’t hold back his excitement to call him, telling him to hide from someone to answer the call.

“What do you think? The show group is great, but that show is from Pineapple TV. You know that, right?”

Gu Che’s face darkened.

He remembered that there was a deputy director of Pineapple TV who had always wanted to work with Gu Cheng.

“Also, Director Zhao doesn’t have the say in LLU. She has a lot of competitors in the country. You know that, right?”

What else did Gu Che not know? It must be a collaboration between Gu Cheng and the competitor of Director Zhao.

“Who needs his help?”

The 23-year-old top celebrity was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. His hair stood on end and the corners of his eyes turned red.

On the other end of the line, Jin Tong rubbed his nose and hung up guiltily.

The more Gu Che thought about it, the angrier he got. He called Gu Cheng, but he didn’t pick up. He sent him messages like crazy.

[Gu Che: Who asked for your help?]

[Gu Che: Don’t think that I’ll thank you!]

[Gu Che: you’re a director who’s filming literary films. Why are you connecting with a local station?]

Was it so easy to owe a favor to Pineapple TV’s deputy head?

Gu Cheng’s reputation would be ruined if he was asked to film some trashy TV series or become a variety director! He had just won the Best Director award last year!

Gu Che was busy sending messages when a head popped out from a corner not far away.

Gu Miaomiao was staring at him with her big watery eyes carefully.

[Miaomiao: He’s like a cat whose tail has been stepped on. He’s baring his teeth. He’s so cute.]

Little dough imagined a cool black cat, who was usually energetic and didn’t like to talk to people, was fuming and glaring now. How cute!

[Ancient martial art system: …]

The top celebrity was still sending messages.

Gu Cheng seemed to be annoyed. He sent a message to explain.

[Gu Cheng: Someone is scolding your whole family. I don’t want my parents to be scolded too.]

Gu Che immediately turned calm and sneered.

[Gu Che: Do you think I’ve embarrassed the family?]

[Gu Che: Do you still think that I shouldn’t have participated in talent shows and become an idol? Do you think that I should have followed the rules and become a stage actor?]

After a long time, Gu Cheng finally sent a message. It was a simple one-word message.

“Yes.”

Gu Che was so angry that he raised his phone, ready to throw it.

“Second brother?”

The top celebrity paused and turned around stiffly, only to see a curious little face.

“Second brother.”

The little dough ran over and hugged his thigh, raising her chubby little face.

“Who are you messaging?”

“An annoying person.”

Gu Che quickly glanced at his younger sister and saw that her attitude was normal. She didn’t seem to be frightened by his dark expression earlier. He heaved a sigh of relief.

“You can’t sleep?”

“Yes, I want my second brother to tell me a story.”

Gu Che carried her up and patted her fluffy hair, “Alright, I’ll tell you a story then.”

He returned to the room with his sister. During this time, little dough also showed off that she had obtained a medicinal cuisine recipe and would help him take care of his throat.

When he handed in his phone, he had an idea and sent Gu Cheng a few messages.

[Gu Che: Miaomiao said that she likes me the most as her brother.]

[Gu Che: Miaomiao said she would protect me.]

[Gu Che: Miaomiao found a medicinal cuisine recipe especially for me to keep my voice.]

Gu Cheng was speechless.
