The Villain Just Wants to be a Salted Fish - Chapter 78

“Just for this reason, you want me to move?” Ye Zexi’s expression was a little unpleasant.

Gao Shu’s tone was still very serious: “Young Master, you can’t underestimate the power of CP fans. Some CP fans are even comparable to anti-fans. If, I mean, if you let fans know that you and Film Emperor He are neighbors, it will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.”

“Although we all know that you have been neighbors a long time ago, fans may not listen to that much. The more we explain, the more they will not listen. The situation will only get worse.”

“Then don’t explain at all,” Ye Zexi said indifferently. “Anyway, Teacher He and I have been neighbors a long time ago, even before I debuted, so what is there to explain? The truth will always be true.”

Gao Shu was speechless for a while.

But seeing that Ye Zexi didn’t listen at all, Gao Shu didn’t insist anymore.

But as a good agent, he must do a good job of public relations in advance.

So during the period before the plane took off, Gao Shu checked all the required information in advance, and even wrote a statement in advance and sent it to the public relations department, asking them to keep an eye out for any arising trouble. If a similar situation does occur at the time, they can make a statement directly.

Ye Zexi didn’t know the ability of the unknown prophet Gao Shu, so he did not expect that one day in the future, Ye Zexi’s personal statement would be completely contrary to the content of the studio’s statement.

Of course, it’s still far into the future.

The third recording location was in Guilin, and Ye Zexi was very happy after knowing this.

Guilin’s landscape is the best in the world, and this is also one of Ye Zexi’s favorite attractions.

Of course, the Guilin rice noodles are what attracted Ye Zexi the most.

When he got off the plane, Ye Zexi took Gao Shu to eat rice noodles.

Gao Shu was originally unwilling, but seeing that Ye Zexi wanted to eat so much, he could only come along.

It’s just that the two of them didn’t expect that even when they went to eat rice noodles, they would meet acquaintances.

As soon as he entered the mall, Ye Zexi heard someone yelling next to him: “Come on! Over there!”

“Who is here?”

“I heard that the Times Boys Team is here!”

“Is there an event in the mall today?”

“Ah! I saw Jiang Ran and Yu Yan!”

Hearing the familiar name, Ye Zexi was also stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look at Gao Shu: “Secretary Gao, are there on-going events in this mall today?”

Gao Shu had already picked up the phone and was sending a message to ask about the situation. He shook his head: “I’m not sure as of right now, but there are too many people here, should we change to a different place?”

Ye Zexi didn’t speak, but just looked into the distance. There were too many people there, and he couldn’t see anything at all. Even the entrance of the stairs to the third floor was completely blocked.

After thinking for a while, Ye Zexi took out his phone, took a photo, and said with a smile: “If there are so many people, no one will notice me. Let’s go. Fortunately, the store we are going to is on the second floor. I read the online reviews that this store has the best rice noodles, and I must not miss it.”

“Okay.” Ye Zexi responded.

However, the fact is that until Ye Zexi finished eating rice noodles contentedly, no one recognized him.

But there was a waiter who said that Ye Zexi looked familiar, and Ye Zexi also joked and asked if she wanted to take pictures with him.

The waiter smiled and refused. The man in front of her is handsome, but he is not a celebrity. What could she make use of a group photo of them?

Ye Zexi was not angry when he got rejected. Instead, with a smile on his face, he picked up the phone and sent a message to He Jinyun: “The waiter rejected me!”

He Jinyun couldn’t smile when he saw the message: “They didn’t recognize you?”

Ye Zexi raised his head and glanced at the waiter in front of him, and sent a head shaking emoticon.

“I think she would like to get the autographed photo of the celebrities on the third floor at this mall today, not mine.”

He Jinyun: “But if someone else finds out that you have also come to this mall, I believe they will regret not coming to get your autograph.”

Ye Zexi’s mouth curved up.

“It’s Jiang Ran and Yu Yan.” Gao Shu said suddenly.

“Huh?” Ye Zexi paused when he was replying to the message: “What?”

Gao Shu repeated: “It is said that the artists trapped on the third floor are Jiang Ran and Yu Yan.”

Ye Zexi was really shocked: “Are they having an event today here?”

“No,” Gao Shu shook his head, “they came to eat rice noodles but they were recognized by fans.”

“Ah?” Ye Zexi was surprised for a second, and then couldn’t help but start laughing, “Hahahahahahahahahahaha, damn, why are they so miserable!”

Gao Shu said helplessly: “Young Master, I think we should also leave quickly, otherwise if you were to be recognized later…”

“How could it be so coincidental?” Ye Zexi didn’t care. “But are they okay with being trapped upstairs? There should be staff and security guards there, right?”

Gao Shu shook his head: “I don’t know.”

Ye Zexi: “Huh? Then how do you know that the trapped people upstairs are them?”

Gao Shu: “Hot search.”

Ye Zexi blinked, quit WeChat and opened Weibo.

Sure enough, the second hottest search now is #Yu Yan Jiang Ran Rice Noodles#. Ye Zexi really couldn’t hold it back anymore, and browsed Weibo while laughing.

After reading through them, Ye Zexi was even more surprised: “Did they not bring assistants or staff when they went out to eat rice noodles?”

Gao Shu nodded: “So, Young Master, we should go…”

“Hey, I saw the news that they came to record “Foodie Journal”.” Ye Zexi said again, and Yu Yan is a good person, and Ye Zexi likes him quite a bit.

Gao Shu sighed and pressed his temples as he said: “I understand, then, Young Master, you should get in the car first, I’ll go fetch them.”

Ye Zexi wanted to go with Gao Shu, but Gao Shu didn’t agree with this idea. Since he could not persuade Gao Shu, Ye Zexi had to return to the car first.

After chatting with He Jinyun in the car for another half an hour, he saw Gao Shu and a group of people approaching the car from a distance.

Ye Zexi saw Yu Yan and Jiang Ran in the crowd. The two were very embarrassed. Seeing Ye Zexi, Yu Yan rushed forward and cried——

“Ah ah ah ah my savior!!!”

Jiang Ran gave a light cough and said, “Thank you.”

After speaking, there was a tint of awkward flashing across his face.

Ye Zexi smiled and waved his hands, motioning them to get in the car quickly: “Come in.”

The two got into the car, Gao Shu went to thank the security guards, and then got into the car.

“I’ve troubled you.” Jiang Ran spoke first.

Yu Yan said, “Thank you very much! If you were not here today, we really don’t know what to do!”

Ye Zexi asked, “So how on earth did you get recognized? Didn’t you bring the staff over before you came out?”

“Ouch,” Yu Yan heaved out a long sigh before telling Ye Zexi the reason.

He and Jiang Ran originally went out for dinner with the assistant, but halfway through, the assistant was in a hurry, so the assistant proposed to send them back first. But Yu Yan and Jiang Ran just got to come out, how could they just go back like this?

So Yu Yan and Jiang Ran discussed with each other and they sneaked out. Originally, they planned to return to the hotel after eating the rice noodles.

But things usually don’t work as planned. They didn’t expect to be recognized by fans as soon as they arrived at the rice noodles shop.

Then the situation was getting worse from here on, Yu Yan and Jiang Ran contacted the assistant, but it took time for the assistant to come here.

So the two had to keep fans at base while being forced to pretend to keep them entertained.

After Ye Zexi listened, he cast a sympathetic look at the two of them.

Yu Yan couldn’t help but say, “So you went to eat rice noodles too?”

Ye Zexi nodded: “Thanks to your blessings, they have all gone to see you two, so I was able to eat to my heart’s content before taking off.”

Yu Yan’s expression became very resentful in an instant: “We have not eaten anything until now!”

“I still want to eat, but I might get scolded when I get back!” Jiang Ran glanced at him, “I will have to deal with it for a while…”

Before Jiang Ran’s voice fell, Yu Yan and Jiang Ran’s cell phones rang at the same time.

Yu Yan’s expression suddenly changed: “…the agent.”

Jiang Ran’s face was even more ugly: “It’s the boss.”

Ye Zexi stretched out his hand to cover his mouth and couldn’t laugh out loud. This is not good! He really wanted to laugh at his friends’ misery!1

So on the way back to the hotel, Ye Zexi was texting with He Jinyun while listening to the scolding of the two next to him. They were very unhappy.

When the car stopped downstairs in the hotel, Yu Yan and Jiang Ran hung up the phone one after another.

The expressions of the two who had been scolded were even more ugly, and Ye Zexi asked, “Are you okay?”

Yu Yan couldn’t laugh.

Jiang Ran rolled his eyes: “I will have to go through training again when I go back. Very good!”

Ye Zexi comforted: “It’s okay, there is still a week of happiness.”

“Hopefully.” Yu Yan said miserably.

As soon as the driver opened the door, Jiang Ran and Yu Yan’s assistant rushed over. Seeing the two intact, the assistant heaved a sigh of relief, and then took them to thank Ye Zexi and Gao Shu.

Gao Shu waved his hand: “It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s no problem.”

Assistant: “How can it be said that it is no problem?”

After coming and going, the assistant and Gao Shu got familiar with each other, and the conversation naturally revolved around “the artists we brought” and so on.

Ye Zexi asked Yu Yan and Jiang Ran to go upstairs together.

After entering the elevator, the world returned to quiet.

Ye Zexi’s phone vibrated again, which was a message from He Jinyun.

“I’m boarding soon, see you in Guilin.”

“Okay.” Ye Zexi replied, put the phone away, raised his head, and met Yu Yan’s gossipy eyes.1

Yu Yan was not embarrassed when he was being discovered. Instead, he approached and asked in a low voice: “Ahem, I don’t know if I should ask, are you and…Teacher He real?”

Ye Zexi: “Huh?”

Jiang Ran slapped Yu Yan’s head, and his voice became colder: “Are you hungry and stupid? Believe all the messy rumors?”

Yu Yan was taken aback, only then realized that he might have said something wrong, and quickly covered his mouth.

Ye Zexi also understood what Yu Yan said at this time: “Are you asking about me and Teacher He?”

Yu Yan wanted to nod, but didn’t know whether he should nod or not, but looked at Jiang Ran next to him for help.

Jiang Ran covered his face, how could he become a teammate with such an idiot!

Ye Zexi didn’t wait for Yu Yan to answer, and said with a smile: “Teacher He and I are very good friends. We understand each other so well that it leads the netizens to misunderstand.”

Yu Yan’s eyes widened: “Is that so?”

Jiang Ran and Yu Yan looked at each other, and both saw the suspicion in each other’s eyes.1

I’m afraid that’s not the case, right?

But it doesn’t matter, because soon they will be able to see it with their own eyes.

Of course, Ye Zexi’s outstanding practical actions would prove to the other two that the netizens’ speculation is really good——

It’s really a one-sided love!
