Chapter 93 The Backstabbing Cult is here to steal the traffic.
"Professor Xu, which university does your grandson attend?"
The round-faced female college student asked Xu Jingyuan with some curiosity.
"He just finished the college entrance exam; his scores haven't come out yet."
"However, he previously participated in the independent enrollment selection test organized by the Beijing University Alliance and obtained the candidate qualification, so it is highly likely that he will go to university in Beijing."
Professor Xu's face lit up when this matter was mentioned, but as composed as she was, she naturally wouldn't mention that her grandson had already secured a place at Peking University.
It's best to be conservative about things that aren't certain yet, so you don't end up regretting it later if something goes wrong.
"Wow...that's amazing!"
Upon hearing this, the girl with the pointed chin cupped her hands in a heart shape, widened her eyes, and made a very exaggerated expression.
These two female college students, the one with the round face is named Chu Qiulin, and the one with the pointed chin is named Deng Xiaoyan. They are both graduate students majoring in foreign languages from the provincial normal university.
Professor Xu is, after all, a big name in the industry. Although her major is not as popular now, her influence in the industry is still quite strong. The two girls who were able to work on projects with her must have performed exceptionally well on campus, otherwise they would not have had the opportunity to intern with Professor Xu.
It's no exaggeration to say that as long as they serve Professor Xu well and do some odd jobs, he will put their names on his monographs, which is a shortcut to boosting their grades.
"I didn't expect my junior brother to be so outstanding. It seems his goal should be the top two universities in Beijing."
Deng Xiaoyan was good at reading people. She noticed that Professor Xu had a calm and composed expression when talking about his grandson's grades. She immediately realized that Ye Kai's grades must be quite good. With the reduced score policy for independent enrollment, it seemed that entering the top two universities in Beijing was a sure thing.
Such a perfect opportunity to flatter, I had to seize it and frantically praise him.
"Junior Brother is too outstanding; he's simply a dragon among men!"
Chu Qiulin, the round-faced girl, was quick to react and immediately joined in providing emotional support, praising Ye Kai profusely.
"It's just a possibility."
Professor Xu was a wise and experienced woman, so how could she not see through the true intentions of the two interns? However, she had long since become indifferent to such matters, and the only thing she cared about was her grandson Ye Kai. So, seeing someone praising Ye Kai, she was naturally not unhappy.
"Take a day off tomorrow, and we'll officially start work the day after tomorrow."
Professor Xu was so pleased that he gave the two girls a day off.
……
Ye Kai tidied up the bedroom on the second floor and moved new bedding over from the storage room.
The two girls were very diligent and worked with Ye Kai to quickly tidy up the room. They also repeatedly expressed their gratitude to Ye Kai.
"It's nothing really."
"It just so happens that I need to go to the capital on business. Please take good care of me while I stay here. If Professor Xu has any issues, please contact me immediately, as she is getting on in years."
Ye Kai added the two girls on WeChat and exchanged phone numbers with them.
It was getting late, so Ye Kai went straight to the activity room on the third floor.
He pulled out the sofa bed, turned on the air conditioner upstairs, and lowered the temperature, which made it feel exceptionally spacious and cool.
Ye Kai checked the Bitcoin market on his phone and saw that there hadn't been much change. He figured that to get rich quick, he'd have to wait for the big market movements in the second half of next year.
Not long after, Shen Jiayi was going to have a video call with him.
"Why can't you sleep so late at night? Are you thinking of me?"
After Ye Kai connected the video call, he joked.
Recently, his interactions with Shen Jiayi have become more frequent, and the frequency of physical contact between the two has increased significantly. Hugging and cuddling are common occurrences, and kissing and touching are not uncommon. The number of times their tongues wander during kisses has also increased significantly, but they are still generally able to maintain a strict boundary.
The main reason is that Shen Jiayi is quite strict with herself in this regard, and Ye Kai doesn't want to go against her wishes, after all, they are a special person who is like a friend from a past life.
"Don't even mention it!"
"I spent two whole days preparing and posted a Weibo post with pictures and text. Everyone was saying it was going well, and then someone else beat me to it!"
Miss Shen was in a bad mood and kept complaining to Ye Kai about her unfortunate experience that day.
"Someone stole the trending topic?"
"Who dares to overshadow our genius, beautiful, and academically gifted Miss Shen?"
"Give me his name, and I'll beat the shit out of him!"
Ye Kai was curious, so he pressed for an answer.
"It's that 'Gunfire and Bullets' incident, right? Bian Xiaoxiao, Yin Xiaotian, and those guys. The internet is full of them hyping it up, it's so annoying!"
Shen Jiayi complained.
"The Backstabbing Cult?"
Ye Kai was stunned for a moment, and then the memories in his mind began to slowly return, piecing together the scattered puzzle pieces.
This whole thing seemed more like a poorly controlled publicity stunt.
At the time, Yin Xiaotian and Bian Xiaoxiao were filming the TV series "Gunfire and Bullets". They had a disagreement about how to film a scene. Yin Xiaotian advocated for a realistic performance, while Bian Xiaoxiao requested that the scene be filmed using camera tricks.
Bian Xiaoxiao's assistant posted on Weibo that a male actor assaulted a female actor due to creative disagreements, and identified the male actor as Yin Xiaotian.
Yin Xiaotian quickly responded on Weibo, denying that he had hit anyone and stating that he would release the video footage as soon as possible.
Bian Xiaoxiao later posted a message confirming that she was the female protagonist in the incident and criticized Yin Xiaotian, saying that she was pushed, had her hair pulled, and was even verbally insulted by him.
Numerous celebrities quickly joined the fray. Yang Zi advised Yin Xiaotian to apologize promptly, while Da Hei Niu, Du Chun, Jia Nai Liang, Wen Zang, Bao Jian Feng, Xue Jia Ning, Wang Luo Dan, and others criticized and condemned Yin Xiaotian, sparking a wave of calls for an apology throughout the entertainment industry.
"They're just bored. If there's video surveillance, why not release it? A bunch of people are making a scene online, like a brawl. It's enough!"
"Yin Xiaotian is something else. If he did something wrong, he should just apologize and be done with it. Why is he being so stubborn? Is he just trying to gain online traffic and increase his popularity?"
"Although being infamous is still fame, being ganged up on by everyone might mean he's playing with fire and ends up burning himself first."
Miss Shen felt deeply disgusted by this, and the reason was quite simple: this matter affected the spread of her new Weibo post, which was truly an undeserved disaster.
She didn't have a good impression of Yin Xiaotian either, feeling that it was his lack of cooperation that prevented the matter from ending and prevented others from getting any traffic.
"I know about this."
"Yang Zi has the surveillance video from the film crew but refuses to release it, so even if Yin Xiaotian has a mouth full of words, he can't explain himself."
"What's more, there are so many people who want to make their presence felt, insisting on acting as judges on the internet and ganging up on Yin Xiaotian."
"Some people want to create hype in this way, but they haven't considered that it's a double-edged sword that will eventually hurt them."
Ye Kai shook his head, feeling very sorry for Yin Xiaotian.
The film and television industry is a big melting pot, containing all sorts of people. What looks glamorous on the outside is actually rotten inside, and there are countless disgusting things in it.
This time, Yin Xiaotian is the unlucky one.
However, Miss Shen's popularity was also stolen, which made her extremely annoyed, and directly affected Ye Kai's ability to rest.
"Okay, okay, don't be angry anymore."
"At worst, I'll help you think of another way to get the traffic back."
Ye Kai's eyes started to water, and he kept yawning. He could only make a wish for Miss Shen in exchange for a good night's sleep.
