After Going Viral for Exorcism, I Was Kissed Senseless by the Top-Tier Ghost King! - Chapter 7

Just when everyone thought Bai Qingxu was about to lose face in a major way.

“Xiao Li, what are you doing?”

Before Bai Qingxu could react, Meng Ze snapped first.

The youth in front of them was clearly not an ordinary person. Only an idiot like Li San would think he was just some insignificant, eighteenth-tier celebrity and mock him so recklessly. If the youth actually became angry, Meng Ze did not even know if Li San would live to see the end of his internship.

Meng Ze’s heart pounded with fear as he secretly observed Bai Qingxu’s expression.

Fortunately, it remained calm and gentle. He did not seem provoked by Li San’s foolish remarks at all.

Li San did not expect his boss to speak up first and disrupt his plan. He felt even more aggrieved.

“Brother Meng.”

“Shut up and apologize.” Meng Ze felt a throbbing pain in his head as he silently crossed out any chance of Li San passing his internship.

Li San’s lips moved as if he wanted to defend himself, but he saw his boss’s cold and harsh gaze.

His boss was usually easygoing and had never been this fierce before.

No matter how wronged Li San felt, he did not dare to defy his boss at this moment. He could only apologize honestly.

“I am sorry.”

[What the heck? Why is Brother Meng suddenly being so fierce?]

[Why be so polite to Bai Qingxu?]

[It feels like Brother Meng is a bit wary of Bai Qingxu. What is going on?]

[Brother Meng just has good manners and does not speak ill of others. Stop guessing blindly, everyone.]

Facing Li San’s apology, Bai Qingxu still had no reaction. He simply looked at Meng Ze with a neutral gaze.

Meng Ze could not gauge his thoughts. He furrowed his brows, suppressed his astonishment, and tried to probe his identity first.

“You work in the industry too, right? Are you here for the banquet?”

“Yes.”

Bai Qingxu nodded, answering Meng Ze with very few words.

Currently, it felt as though even breathing was a mistake for him, so it was better to speak as little as possible.

However, this attitude failed to appease the anger in the livestream room.

The more polite Meng Ze was to Bai Qingxu, the less the viewers understood. They all felt that Bai Qingxu was threatening Meng Ze, forcing him to be polite. Consequently, the insults toward Bai Qingxu became more frequent and extreme.

[What kind of idiot is this? Who does he think he is looking at with that face?]

[I am going to vomit. Get lost.]

[Bai Qingxu, get out of the entertainment industry.]

[He is a cancer in the industry.]

[If the streamer does not leave, I am signing off.]

Meng Ze had originally wanted to probe a few more sentences, but when he saw the rapidly declining data in the livestream, his expression changed. His desire to keep investigating vanished instantly.

To him, nothing was more important than making money.

He had expected his numbers to rise, but they were falling instead. If he said another word to this youth, his data would disappear entirely. Data was money.

Meng Ze wanted to cry but had no tears. He did not care anymore if Bai Qingxu was the Monkey King or some kind of demon. He only cared about his data.

“Everyone, do not leave. Please stay. How about I perform something for you? How about the erhu?”

However, no one in the livestream room listened to him. The popularity continued to drop, so Meng Ze could only privately note this youth’s face and prepare to leave.

He coughed twice, looking quite embarrassed.

“Well.”

“Mm-hmm.” Bai Qingxu nodded, looking at Meng Ze.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

Meng Ze found it strange. He actually sensed a hint of sincerity in the youth’s eyes.

“Did you not just say you were going to perform the erhu? I will stay to support you.”

Bai Qingxu said this because he noticed the financial loss aura on Meng Ze’s face and felt a bit guilty.

There was a reason he was so universally disliked. Those who insulted him would lose money, while those who praised him would strike it rich. However, since most people just insulted him, he could not help it.

Meng Ze was silent.

Meng Ze thought Bai Qingxu truly wanted to see his erhu performance and felt quite guilty. He had no idea that his fortune was being drained because of Bai Qingxu.

“I am sorry. I will perform for you next time. My manager just called and needs me urgently.” Meng Ze hardened his heart. “I will take my leave now. See you later, handsome younger brother.”

After saying that, he dashed away, afraid that if he stayed another second, his sincerity would make him abandon his money.

Bai Qingxu was happy to finally see the man in the black leather jacket leave. “Goodbye, goodbye.”

Li San followed Meng Ze, but before leaving, he spat fiercely toward Bai Qingxu, his disdain clear for all to see.

Seeing this, Bai Qingxu only smiled more brightly and waved at Li San.

“Goodbye. By the way, your forehead is dark and your career line has vanished. You should work hard on finding a new job. Good luck.”

Hearing this, Li San stumbled in shock.

What on earth? Your forehead is dark. Your whole family’s foreheads are dark. It is impossible for me to be unemployed.

Li San did not take Bai Qingxu’s words to heart at all. He did not know that after offending Bai Qingxu, his forehead had become as black as the bottom of a pot, and his career in the entertainment industry was officially over.

Bai Qingxu breathed a sigh of relief after the two left. He had thought they came with ill intentions and felt the other party trying to test him, yet they had abandoned him after only a few words.

It was highly likely that the man had sensed his strange constitution and was scared away.

His phone rang. It was his manager. After being missing for an entire day, his manager finally contacted him.

“Bai Qingxu, where are you right now?”

A roar came through the receiver. Bai Qingxu rubbed his ear and moved the phone away.

“At the hotel.”

“Get to the hotel parking lot now.”

Because Bai Qingxu was so obscure and had such a bad reputation, he had no resources at all. His manager, Zhou Jie, had spent a large amount of money to buy an entry ticket to this banquet just so Bai Qingxu could network for work.

The banquet was over, but what had Bai Qingxu done?

Well, he had beaten up a potential benefactor.

Oh, and he had also used a restroom mop to teach the benefactor’s subordinates a lesson.

Hmm.

That did not exactly align with expectations.

Although Cao Qiang was wretched, his power in the entertainment industry was undeniable. These two incidents were enough to ensure Bai Qingxu had zero resources and was completely blacklisted.

How should he tell Zhou Jie so he could escape her world-shaking roar?

Bai Qingxu had a massive headache but could only walk toward the parking lot.

He did not notice a person standing in the shadows of the wall behind him, watching him intently.

“Blacklisted? Then how am I supposed to pursue him? Tsk.”

He Yanzhou frowned as he watched Bai Qingxu’s troubled expression. He took out his phone and made a call.

“I want to be on the same variety show as Bai Qingxu. Arrange it for me.”

The manager on the other end of the line was bewildered. “Brother, what did you just say? Who? Bai Qingxu?”

The call ended.

Lin Han was completely stunned. He looked at his phone, unable to believe what he had heard.

What was with He Yanzhou? Going on a variety show with that blacklisted Bai Qingxu? Was Bai Qingxu even worthy?
