The Villain Just Wants to be a Salted Fish

When Ye Zexi received Wei Lifei's call, it was already midnight. He had just finished today's training and was on his way back to his room.

Wei Lifei's voice trembled slightly on the phone: "Ye Zexi!"

Ye Zexi paused and asked in confusion: "What's the matter?"

Wei Lifei's tone suddenly rose: "You are on the hot search again!"

Ye Zexi was shocked: "What? Why am I on the hot search again?"

"I just sent it to you on WeChat, go and see!" Wei Lifei's voice was very excited.

Ye Zexi quickly clicked on WeChat, and saw a long link sent by Wei Lifei.

He clicked on the link. This was a post on a well-known anonymous forum in China.

The title was very eye-catching---"Take a look at the rich second generation in the hot variety show these past two days."

"Squat."

"A variety show that has been popular in the past two days, blindly guessing a certain talent team?"

"It seems to be it, frankly speaking the boy group audition in this program seems to look better than the others. At least their appearance and singing are good!"

"Rich second generation? Do you mean Tang Jing or Cui Yi?"

"Where is the original poster?"

The thread on the post got to the fifty-fifth one, and they didn't see the original poster. All the replies on the post were urging the host.

Original Poster: "Don't urge me, I'm here."

Original Poster: "Cui Yi? Tang Jing? Excuse me, if it were not for this boy group audition, it is estimated that Cui Yi would not have gotten into their circle."

Many people waited impatiently: "Original poster, stop with the suspension."

"Hurry up!"

Original Poster: "Let me just say that. You can directly check the top wealthy family list just got released this year. The third place is this person's father. All the venues recorded in "Time Idol" this time, including the villa where the contestants are staying at, are all his family's private property."

Original Poster: "Before we were all speculating about why this man would participate in the audition. I only learned a few days ago that he was there to chase someone."

As soon as the words "to chase someone" were mentioned, the onlookers decoded it instantly.

"Fuck! Ye Zexi?!"

"Is his family that rich?!"

"I just searched for the photo of the third place on the wealthy list. Not like they are a bit similar, it can only be said that they are like being carved out of the same mold!"

"It's really him!"

"Ye Zexi's family is so rich!"

"So Ye Zexi's phrase of eating a rich second-generation meal in the show is really not a joke!"

Original Poster: "What are you kidding? With the Ye family assets, even if Ye Zexi does not invest into anything, it will be enough for him to spend several lifetimes."

"Shocked.jpg."

The rich second generation topic was really eye-catching, even higher than Ye Zexi's first topic in the first performance. In less than half an hour, the post was a hot topic.

Marketing accounts liked it when there was a lot of hot search, and when they saw the post, they directly took the screenshots and uploaded them to Weibo.

The popularity of the forum had reached Weibo, and more and more netizens were participating in the discussion.

"I have been following this gossip since the start of the night, I just want to say that there are really not many people who are so rich and work hard! Ye Zexi makes me feel proud to be his fan! I'll take the first row seat!"

"Upper thread, did you make a mistake? Ye Zexi actually participated in the audition to chase Tang Jing. As a result, he hasn't succeeded in courting, but becomes popular!"

"Hahahahaha, what a blunder! Ye Zexi indeed has great talent, and I love it."

The volume of discussion was getting bigger and bigger, and some fans even created some emoji image for this——

Emoji image one:

Q: Why did you participate in the "Talent Show".

Other trainees: To chase after my dream.

Ye Zexi: To chase someone.

The second emoji image was even more straightforward. Netizens directly used Ye Zexi's edited screen to make a GIF animation with the word "Rich Second Generation's Meal". The next frame was the expression of Shan Zeyu being flat.1

"Hahahahaha who made this gif! I just laughed to death! Asking for the original source!"

"Damn, chasing someone!"

"Your picture is good, but unfortunately it was yours in the last second, and mine in the next second!"

......

By the time Ye Zexi received a call from Wei Lifei, Ye Zexi's name had been on the hot search all night.

Its ranking was still very high, and the hot search tag was also very funny——#Ye Zexi really eats rich second-generation meal#

Ye Zexi's brows frowned upon seeing this: "Can't this hot search be removed?"

Wei Lifei was taken aback when he heard this: "Remove, why?"

Repeatedly staying on hot search means he has popularity, which is not in line with Ye Zexi's original intention.

Ye Zexi: "I don't want to be on the hot search."

Wei Lifei understood: "Haiz, there is nothing wrong with hot search, this just means you are really popular. My dad saw it today, and he praised you in front of me."

Of course, I got scolded by him at the same time.

Said Ye Zexi now knows what the right thing to do for his life is, why I still do not know how to improve myself every day.

Wei Lifei let those words go in his left ear and out to his right ear, completely not taking his father's words to heart.

Ye Zexi sighed, he really didn't want to get popular at all!2

But the matter of whether being popular or not, it really is not something Ye Zexi can decide on his own.

The next morning---The Ye Group Headquarters Building

For the diligent social animals, every Monday was the beginning of their pain.

So at this time, the atmosphere in the company was always particularly sluggish.

But today, from the moment Ye Jianbin stepped into the company, he noticed a slight difference compared to before.

Ye Jianbin was very puzzled, but due to his status in the company, it was difficult for him to ask around.
