After Going Viral for Exorcism, I Was Kissed Senseless by the Top-Tier Ghost King! - Chapter 10

Bai Qingxu blinked as he looked into the assembly room.

The people inside also thought that the top-tier Movie Star, He Yanzhou, had arrived. They actually stood up in unison, making the entrance quite grand and leaving Bai Qingxu feeling a bit overwhelmed.

However, since the stage was already set, Bai Qingxu had no choice but to take a few steps forward, moving out of the backlit doorway so the cameras could capture his features clearly.

[It is not my Zhouzhou! (Sobbing)]

[Hey, a handsome guy! So handsome! (Drooling) Did the production team finally get some money?]

[What the heck? Is the person above me blind! You do not know Bai Qingxu? He is a cancer in the industry!]

[Who? I do not recognize him. I only want to see my Zhouzhou. (Crying)]

[Not as handsome as my Movie Star He!]

[What is going on? Is this idiot trying to steal Movie Star He’s camera time?]

[So disgusting. (Vomiting) How could the production team invite such trash?]

[Is the production team crazy? Can you go visit a neurologist please? I do not want to see this idiot!]

[I have always said this show was low-class, but I did not expect this low-class show to actually invite such a low-class person. I am truly speechless.]

The bullet comments paused for a split second upon seeing Bai Qingxu’s appearance, but they immediately surged again. The volume was even higher than before, and the show’s popularity index skyrocketed.

Director Xie Ye watched the background data climbing rapidly and was so happy his smile nearly reached his ears.

He had specifically targeted Bai Qingxu’s “universally hated” status, intentionally inviting him to stir up controversy. It was working perfectly!

Furthermore, although Bai Qingxu was not famous, he was beautiful. He had the kind of looks that could lead to an explosive rise in popularity. If he became a hit in the future, he could carry the entire variety show to success, and the director could just sit back and collect the profit.

After all, artists who become famous through “negative popularity” are not exactly rare!

As for that ridiculous blacklist order from that idiot Cao Qiang, he did not care one bit. Managing his variety show well was the only thing that mattered!

Bai Qingxu watched the screen full of insulting comments and walked toward the seat reserved for guests without changing his expression. He then introduced himself to everyone.

“Hello, everyone. I am Bai Qingxu.”

Bai Qingxu’s voice was very pleasant, like a gentle spring breeze that made listeners feel very comfortable.

[Ah, why does this guy’s voice sound so good!]

[Is the person above me new? You do not even recognize the industry’s cancer?]

[I do not follow fandom circles. I am just here for the looks.]

[Do people follow stars these days without looking at their character? No way, right?]

“Hahaha, we meet again.”

Just as Bai Qingxu finished his self-introduction, the man sitting across from him grinned and laughed at him.

“Um. Who are you?”

Bai Qingxu was a bit “face-blind” and was not very good at recognizing people.

[What the heck? He does not even recognize the King of Songs, Meng Ze?]

[What is he pretending for? Is he trying to act cute?]

[I saw him in the livestream last time, and now he does not recognize him? He is doing it on purpose, right? He wants to make Brother Meng look bad?]

The bullet comments flew by rapidly again. However, this time it did not affect Meng Ze at all. After all, this was not his own livestream. He was here for a fixed salary, so the data meant nothing to him.

“My name is Meng Ze. We met a few days ago. I forgot to introduce myself then.”

This time, Meng Ze had changed into a white leather jacket, black jeans, and black leather boots. He was even wearing sunglasses and looked very cool.

With that reminder, Bai Qingxu remembered who the man was. He smiled apologetically and offered a sincere apology.

The other guests also introduced themselves one by one.

They included the well-known screenwriter Lin Yinyou, second-rate director He Ning, and a little idol named Ruan Wennan, who was about as obscure as Bai Qingxu.

Usually, there is an awkward silence after guests finish their introductions since no one knows each other well. Bai Qingxu had already prepared himself to just smile and remain quiet.

Unexpectedly, Meng Ze was very outgoing. He pulled Bai Qingxu into a conversation, chatting about anything and everything. He seemed to have a “life-of-the-party” personality.

The strange thing was that Meng Ze only seemed to be this energetic with Bai Qingxu. Before Bai Qingxu arrived, he had not said a single word to the other guests who had arrived early!

Some viewers noticed the anomaly.

[What is the situation? Why is my Brother Meng only chatting with that Bai Qingxu guy?]

[Oh my god, why does this feel a bit “ship-worthy”?]

[Wake up, person above! Bai Qingxu is not worthy!]

[Ah! Why has my Zhouzhou not arrived yet!]

[Yeah, the production team would not lie to us and use a gimmick on purpose, right?]

The comments shipping the “Meng-Bai” pair were quickly pushed aside by the impatient viewers.

The director was also wondering. Although he was flattered that He Yanzhou would participate in his low-class, no… third-rate variety show, he was still a guest and should follow the rules by arriving on time. There were only two minutes left before the show officially started. Why was he not here yet?

Just as the audience, the director, and even the guests began to doubt whether He Yanzhou would show up, the door to the assembly room opened again.
