He has only been in the industry for two years and only started to gain traction in the last six months. Unfortunately, he’s had some bad luck, bumping into the rising star Chi Yu. Although there’s not much difference in resources, Chi Yu is currently in the limelight, and the endorsements that were supposed to go to him have all gone to Chi Yu now that word is out that Chi Yu might win a big award.

This made Cheng Song, who was already envious of Chi Yu, dislike him even more. No matter how he looked at him, he found him displeasing, every day hoping for Chi Yu’s downfall.

"Chi Yu, you must understand, the award you’re going to receive tonight is one I let you have." Xiao Kai raised his hand, not very politely tapping Chi Yu’s shoulder with his fingertip.

Chi Yu: "Are you being polite?"

Xiao Kai chuckled with a dismissive laugh and ’politely’ flicked the wrinkles from Chi Yu’s shoulder with his fingertip. "See, isn’t that polite!"

He withdrew his hand and tucked it into his pocket. Despite his words, there was no politeness in his tone, only obvious hostility and malice: "As a senior, knowing you’re receiving an award naturally makes me happy for you. But based on my two years of experience receiving awards, let me remind you, the podium is high, so watch your step and don’t make a fool of yourself."

After speaking, Xiao Kai patted Chi Yu on the shoulder.

Chi Yu was clearly uninterested in responding, but in Xiao Kai’s view, Chi Yu was afraid, too scared to speak.

When he came over earlier, Cheng Song noticed how Xiao Kai reacted upon seeing Chi Yu, understanding Xiao Kai’s thoughts.

He knew Xiao Kai was unwilling to accept it, but the information from the organizers was confirmed; Chi Yu would definitely win the Most Popular Male Actor award in TV dramas tonight, putting Xiao Kai in second place, losing to the newcomer.

Cheng Song had witnessed Xiao Kai’s humiliation of Chi Yu just now.

What surprised him was that Yi Shu didn’t step in to defend him.

It also surprised him that the newcomer was quite composed, not saying a word in rebuttal or getting angry despite being humiliated.

As more people gathered, to avoid embarrassment and with the time being ripe, Cheng Song called out to Xiao Kai:

"Let’s go, Kai, we should head inside, the rehearsal is about to start."

After speaking to Xiao Kai, he then said to Yi Shu, "We’ll head in first."

And then he walked ahead.

Xiao Kai followed behind Cheng Song into the studio, a smug smile on his face.

Chi Yu remained where he was, didn’t go inside, rubbed his nose in silence. Yi Shu approached him and asked, "Are you feeling down?"

Chi Yu withdrew his hand from his nose and smiled, saying, "I thought about it carefully, and he’s got a point."

Yi Shu raised an eyebrow, "Hmm?"

As Yi Shu gave him a puzzled look, Chi Yu put on his Bluetooth earpiece and strode into the studio with a bold gait. Watching Chi Yu’s back, Yi Shu could only think, that kid is done for.

You’ve gone and pissed off the wrong person, you chose to anger your ancestor.

Did you think your ancestor was easy to deal with?

Waving a hand, the entertainment world is all his.

Once the rehearsal was over, there were only ten minutes left until the live broadcast of the award ceremony.

With a star-studded scene, the atmosphere in the studio was particularly good, everywhere were warm smiles, friends whispering to each other, and several friends who hadn’t seen each other in a long time joking and laughing upon reuniting at the award ceremony.

Chi Yu sat casually and relaxed. Tonight, he wore a deep purple velvet suit, with a black shirt underneath as the base. With his stunning looks and formal attire, on top of winning tonight’s award, he also wowed a large number of women.

The fan section’s light signs had turned into a sea of ochre belonging to Chi Yu.

In that pitch-black fan area, it was remarkably eye-catching.

"Probably paid clappers."

The person speaking next to Chi Yu at this moment was none other than Xiao Kai, who had humiliated him earlier. Xiao Kai was incredibly envious seeing so many ochre-colored light signs in the fan area for Chi Yu.

Chi Yu, who couldn’t be bothered to deal with Xiao Kai, couldn’t even spare a glance towards the man beside his seat.

Xiao Kai continued in a haughty tone, "As a senior, I must remind you, in such an occasion with so many seniors, as a lowly 18th-tier actor barely passing the mark, don’t draw so much attention to yourself with this kind of big scene, where does that leave those senior’s dignity?"

Such words, coming from Xiao Kai’s mouth in that upright tone, seemed to make sense.

Chi Yu found it annoying, wondering why this person didn’t get the hint.

He asked, "Can you be quiet for a bit?"

Xiao Kai: "...What?"

Chi Yu crossed his long legs in a different direction, looking at the bewildered Xiao Kai: "I said, can you shut your megaphone-like mouth? If you can’t, should I fetch you some superglue?"
