Chapter 74 Reboot Debut
chapter 74
The boss called Meng Youcheng and told him about it.
The assistant's willingness to expose this matter was not due to a discovery of human nature, but rather because someone was manipulating things behind the scenes.
This matter became very popular, even reaching overseas. Jiang Yuming's brother discovered it, and Jiang Shiyu contacted the assistant, who did indeed seem inclined to expose the affair...
But fearing for his life and unwilling to gamble it all, Jiang Shiyu promised to give him a large sum of money and to help him win every lawsuit—that was for sure!
The assistant eventually agreed.
After this incident, Jiang Shiyu also discovered that Jiang Yuming was not at home...
Xu Xingcheng told Meng Youcheng that Jiang Shiyu was a serious "brother-obsessed" person, and he wanted to protect his younger brother to the best of his ability...
Therefore, he did not want his younger brother to become a star.
The boy's older brother can't come back now. He was originally planning to stay abroad for two years, but the time has been moved forward, and he will be back in a year. In other words, Meng Youcheng doesn't have much time left. He wants to make the boy a movie star within a year.
Meng Youcheng did not tell Jiang Yuming the hidden details of this matter. The boy did not need to know these things because no matter what happened, he would do his best to stop it before it happened. What happened before would not happen again.
Xu Xingcheng told Meng Youcheng that the previous variety show had approached him, hoping that the young man could attend, which was scheduled for next week.
This means that his debut is a fresh start.
This incident went viral online, and Xu Xingcheng even created a Weibo account for Jiang Yuming, which quickly gained over 50 followers.
The private message content was roughly as follows...
[Netizen A: I've always felt there was something wrong with Raymond Lam, and I've always supported him; sure enough, I was right.]
Ugh……
The account was transferred to Meng Youcheng, and he did not choose to reply to these messages.
Next week, his new debut will begin. Looking at the boy next to him, he felt it was necessary to teach him some basic etiquette.
"Jiang Yuming..."
"What's wrong, Uncle?"
The boy turned to look at him.
"Next week, you'll be participating in your first variety show. Are you nervous?"
Jiang Yuming shook his head. "No way."
The man stepped forward, standing face to face with him. Their eyes met. "Uncle, I'm very nervous. I... I'm a little scared. What might happen to you?"
"Uncle, don't worry..."
The boy gazed at him with deep affection, "Although that person eventually clarified things, if I could do it all over again, I would never have bothered with this matter again."
Why?
"because……"
Jiang Yuming stared blankly at him, "I don't want you to suffer anymore. I don't want you to leave early and come home late anymore, and I especially don't want you to go to..."
"Silly boy..."
The man gently stroked his cheek. "You didn't do anything wrong, but you need to think about whether you can accept the worst outcome. You should do what you can, instead of acting blindly..."
"If you become a movie star and have a large fan base, people will believe you in something like that."
"Uncle..."
Jiang Yuming grabbed his hand. "You must be very tired these past few days. Do you want to...?"
Meng Youcheng did not resist, but simply shook his head slightly. "I'm fine. There's something I want to tell you. When you call for help, you can't call for help the way your brother taught you anymore."
"what?"
"The entertainment industry is a very complex place, and there are a large number of fans watching you. Even the smallest thing can be blown out of proportion, so you have to change your previous approach."
"So what should I do?"
……
Meng Youcheng talked to him for a long time.
The boy listened attentively and said he would definitely do as the man said.
However, he told Meng Youcheng...
The entertainment industry is very different from what he imagined. Some of its unspoken rules seem to be getting further and further away from his dreams, and even seem to be going against them. It seems that he is gradually becoming the kind of person he hates the most.
Meng Youcheng told him not to worry...
Jiang Yuming looked at him affectionately, "If one day I become the person I hate the most, before that happens, Uncle, you must pull me back. I really... don't want to become that kind of person."
"Okay, Uncle will."
……
Time flies, and a week has passed.
Meng Youcheng and Jiang Yuming arrived at the variety show. The man had prepared water in advance and stayed by the boy's side the whole time.
Besides Jiang Yuming, this time the guests include many well-known actors who are popular figures in the premiere drama and are also the main focus of discussion...
Although he's not quite as good as Raymond Lam, he can still attract a lot of attention.
If you seize this opportunity, you're sure to become famous overnight!
Jiang Yuming also received a script...
He glanced at it briefly and made some changes.
The reason we were able to invite him to participate in this variety show was because his Weibo posts generated a lot of discussion, mostly about Raymond Lam. So, the production team naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity to generate discussion...
They will ask him the questions that netizens are expecting.
I took a quick look and there was nothing unusual.
Meng Youcheng stayed by his side the whole time. "Nervous?"
"I'm not nervous..."
The boy turned and glanced at him. "With you by my side, I'll never be nervous."
Meng Youcheng didn't look him in the eye. "Hmm...do you remember what I taught you before?"
Jiang Yuming kept his head down, staring at him. After thinking for a moment, he reached out a hand, lifted the man's chin with his fingers, and made him look at him...
Meng Youcheng: "Damn it..."
"People in their thirties or forties call each other 'brother' or 'sister,' while those older are called 'teacher' or 'senior.' Is it right to observe how others address people before following suit?"
"Um……"
Meng Youcheng tried to lower his head, but the boy refused. "Uncle, why do you keep avoiding my gaze? Why won't you look at me? Is it because... you hate me?"
Meng Youcheng chuckled awkwardly. "How could I? How could I dislike such a...cute young man like you? And if I disliked you, I wouldn't be your manager, would I?"
"Then why won't you look at me?"
Jiang Yuming's long, slender fingers gripped his chin tightly, forcing him to look him in the eye. "Why are your eyes constantly darting away? Why are you so afraid to look at me? Am I that scary? Do I make you so afraid?"
"I……?"
"Was it because I accidentally kissed you last time?"
Jiang Yuming interrupted him, "You feel uncomfortable, awkward being with me, don't want to be near me anymore, don't want to look into my eyes, think I'm disgusting, think I..."
"You're overthinking it...?!"
Meng Youcheng gave an awkward laugh and interrupted him, "I've already forgotten about that thing you mentioned, I don't really remember it."
"Then why have I felt that you've been distant from me ever since that time? You refuse to get close to me, you don't want to look me in the eye, and you keep avoiding my gaze..."
Meng Youcheng awkwardly tried to lower his head, but the boy kept pinching his chin...
"I……"
Meng Youcheng looked up at him. "My eyes have been hurting a bit lately. You're really overthinking it. The reason I kept looking down is because I kept feeling like there was sand in my eyes, so I kept looking down..."
"You're being a little too sensitive."
"Really?"
Meng Youcheng took off his glasses, rubbed his eyes, and said, "Really, I'm not lying to you. My eyes just hurt. It's not like what you said, what do you mean by deliberately avoiding you...?"
Jiang Yuming took another step forward...
He was still holding the man's chin, bending slightly forward...
Meng Youcheng was immediately shocked, swallowed stiffly, and instinctively shrank back...
But with his chin gripped, he couldn't shrink back anywhere!
"immediately……?!"
Meng Youcheng hadn't finished speaking.
What?!
Jiang Yuming looked at him with some confusion. "What did you just say?"
What I just said...
You're about to be on a TV show, is it really appropriate to kiss now?
Damn it! I actually got the wrong idea!
"Uh, heh..."
Meng Youcheng smiled awkwardly, "It's nothing..."
The boy blew on it gently again, and the man's eyes were almost closed, but he did not resist...
"Are you feeling better?"
He asked patiently and gently.
"Um……"
The man nodded awkwardly. "It's much better now, no need to keep bragging. The show's about to start, right? You should go... get ready."
Jiang Yuming then released his grip...
The man turned around and breathed a sigh of relief.
