Chapter 22.3

At the press conference, the reporter deliberately embarrassed and agitated Chu Xiaoyi, asking him news about the other party in his same-sex scandal, which was his fiercest opponent back in the time when he was still in a talent show. If it was someone else who knew better, s/he would just joke and laugh it off, or ask the team to stop asking questions and just shut them up.

In turn, Chu Xiaoyi gave a good answer, “What is there to ask? Why don’t you ask the magical conch shell*?”

T/N: Appeared in the “Club Spongebob” episode of Spongebob Squarepants, where Spongebob & Patrick asked questions and consulted to it before doing anything.

The reporter was stunned by Chu Xiaoyi’s on the spot remark while He Xin became so angry that he wanted to scold his mother in the background.

Sure enough, Chu Xiaoyi was bashed for his attitude at the press conference, and the sunspots who stalked him for a long time spread his “anecdotes” everywhere, fearing that others would not know that he had low emotional intelligence.

Chu Xiaoyi used to debut on a talent show, and became good friends with a certain contestant during the recording period. He took out his heart and lungs and treated the other as his iron-fisted brother, and he talked about music nonstop with him.

But the other party and his company schemed and formed a CP*, secretly stepping and bad mouthing on Chu Xiaoyi, making him spend a miserable time in the midst of others criticisms, making him completely collapse under the pressure.

T/N: Means ‘couple’ or ‘celebrity pairing’.

Chu Xiaoyi silently suffered from malicious editing on the show, and had been highly vigilant against any variety show since then. He even said that he would never go on a variety show again and solely prove himself through his works.

If it weren’t for Director Li’s repeated persuasion, coupled with his faint guilt for his family, he would not have recorded variety shows again.

After the broadcast of “Our Family for Several Generations”, Chu Xiaoyi had already guessed that he would be ridiculed on the spot, so he cut off contact with the Internet early on, never giving people the opportunity to abuse him online.

When he first appeared on the show, he thought very clearly about his goal. He went back to have a good relationship with his family, not specifically to show it to anyone, and the opinions of netizens did not matter.

Chu Xiaoyi last went online to advertise the brand. He was a competent and dedicated business machine and basically did not let the staff in his team do things for him. He will personally comply with Party A’s* request.

T/N: The other party in the contract, which basically refers to the brand sponsor.

Although the little advertising slogan was written long ago, he still used his own fingers to copy and paste, valuing the sense of ritual in business.

Chu Xiaoyi posted: [Enjoy the essence of time and spend beautiful moments together. What were your good moments? Come out with me and take a look! #The Essence of Qingyang* is with you#]

T/N:  Name of the brand he endorses

Numerous netizens instantly filled the comment section.

Grape Toast: [Send your sister]

Little Tree: [Send your sister ah +10,086]

Xiao Hei is looking at you:  [Send your sister! Send your sister! Send your sister! I’m in a hurry, I’m in a hurry, I’m in a hurry!]

“…”

Chu Xiaoyi didn’t want to linger on Weibo anymore, but his comment area exploded in a second and hot comments came into view instantly. Fortunately, he was no longer a rookie anymore, and he would no longer be easily affected by those degrading comments.

He calmly brushed through Weibo, muttering, “Did you guys buy zombie fans* again? I know that I finished a project lately, but do you need to buy hype so exaggeratedly? Are you not afraid of us being ridiculed?”

T/N: 买粉 approximately means “buying zombie fans”, usually done my an artist’s management or studio to boost his or her popularity

Chu Xiaoyi glanced at the comment area flooded with  “Send your sister*” remarks and sighed, “The quality of these haters are really poor. I just posted an advertisement, how can they directly open their mouths and scold? Did they not even consider my support group?”

T/N: “发你妹” is a slang derogatory term which means “f*ck you” when meant figuratively. In this case however, the comments didn’t mean it actually, but literally wanted Chu Xiaoyi to send his sister’s pictures on Weibo.

“Could it be that I’m flopping at lightning speed and there’s no one left in the front row to control the comments*?”

T/N: Positive comments from his fans to help depolarize the comment section full of negative comments

“Who has the spare money to buy you hype?”

He Xin heard his artist’s inexplicable words. He walked over, looked at his mobile phone, and showed a hesitant look, “They’re not scolding, right? Shouldn’t they mean it literally?”

Chu Xiaoyi retorted, “Isn’t this still scolding my sister? Some of them still want to say hello to my mother? In your dreams!”

He Xin weakly replied, “They want you to send your sister… your sister’s content, right? That is, Xiaoxiao?”

He Xin had finished watching the first issue of “Our Family for Several Generations” last night, but Chu Xiaoyi refused to watch it with him. He deliberately cut off his connection to the Internet for fear of being ridiculed, and he did not feel the impact of the show for the time being.

“???”

Chu Xiaoyi hurriedly turned back to re-read the comments, and suddenly understood what the netizens truly meant. He Xin didn’t seem to be wrong.

More importantly, his Weibo was filled with people who came to be matchmakers for their sons, and nephews. Countless photos of 3 to 8-year-old boys have flooded his comment section!

35521: [6 years old, lives in Beijing, also loves to watch Peppa Pig. Has two suites located in the Third Ring Road*, one suite in Tongzhou* District. He can wash socks and cook scrambled eggs. The child can get engaged at will, he can follow the woman’s surname, and it doesn’t matter whether children are born between them in the future…]

T/N: “北京三环路” or Third Ring Road is a 48-kilometer long city ring road that encircles the center of Beijing. “通州区” Tongzhou is a southeast district in Beijing.

[…As long as you do not mind, we can immediately pack and send him to you. For now I can only recognize you as in-laws first! [Closed fist*] [Photo of the child]]

T/N: “抱拳” Form of greeting showing one’s sign of respect.

“…”

I haven’t even had a blind date yet! Who gave them the audacity to set up one for my sister first!?”
