“Still not sober?” Song Zhe couldn’t believe it.
Lv Ming: “Your dad wasn’t drunk at all!”
On the other end of the call, Song Zhe felt his head buzzing. Lv Ming used to be like a naive, sweet fool, completely under his control, always obedient to his orders, never daring to speak loudly in front of him. But now, the other party was acting completely out of character, even daring to insult him?
How bold!
Too boldly!
Furious, Song Zhe hung up the phone.
“He’s gone crazy, absolutely lost it, definitely has some mental problem!”
“No, why would I be afraid of a washed-up nobody I control completely?”
Song Zhe quickly realized he had been stunned by the insults.
As a well-known top agent in the industry, if word got out that one of his artists was cursing at him, who would still respect him?
He redialed the number.
“What do you want now?”
“I don’t care if you’ve lost your mind or not, right now, immediately post an apology statement on Weibo. And don’t drag me into this.” Thinking it over, Song Zhe felt this was too perfunctory. “No, that’s too shallow. You should record a video admitting your faults, bowing and apologizing sincerely in front of the camera, so Wu Qian and the others can feel your genuine remorse!”
“Should I kowtow to the phone too? That would show even more sincerity!” Lv Ming said unexpectedly.
Song Zhe was stunned.
Since when did this kid suddenly get a clue?
“It’s good that you have this attitude. Then do as you say!”
“Are you some kind of inbred? Can’t you understand simple words?” Lv Ming sneered.
Song Zhe: “!!!”
Damn it, he’d never been insulted so crudely in his life.
“Lv Ming, I warn you, you’re an artist under this company, your fate is in our hands. If you don’t do as I say, I’ll blacklist you immediately. Don’t ever hope to have a single appearance in the Chinese entertainment industry again. The breach penalty will bankrupt you for ten lifetimes!”
Song Zhe blushed with anger as he issued the blacklist threat.
“Oh, thanks for freeing me.”
“Blacklist me quickly, I beg you!”
“……”
The other end of the line fell silent for a long time. Usually, artists heard the word ‘blacklist’ and panicked terribly, but this kid’s indifferent reaction left Song Zhe speechless.
“Fine, I’m hanging up.”
“You’re not scared, are you?”
Beep beep beep.
Listening to the busy tone, Song Zhe was furious.
He called again.
“I tell you, the penalty fee will ruin you!”
Beep beep beep.
“You’re done, your career is over!”
Beep beep beep.
“Get ready to spend the rest of your life behind bars!”
Beep beep beep.
“The number you dialed is currently busy, please call back later……”
“Fine, fine, this little brat actually dared to block me. Rebellion, mutiny!” Song Zhe grabbed a vase and smashed it heavily on the floor, completely losing control.
……

In the apartment,
A petite, handsome girl opened the door and walked in. Seeing Lv Ming hang up the phone, her small, rosy mouth formed an ‘O’. She had heard the entire conversation.
“Xiao Ya, good morning.” Lv Ming greeted his junior assistant.
“Brother Ming, it’s already noon…” Xiao Ya said plaintively, then quickly added, “The internet is a mess right now. Several agencies are pressuring us. Wu Qian, Li Changfeng, and Teacher Huang’s side are the most furious. Are you really not going to apologize?”
“Xiao Ya, do you know why some people spend their whole lives working hard only to be eaten alive in the end?”
Xiao Ya was puzzled: “Why?”
“Because they’re kind.”
Xiao Ya: “……”
That made sense. She had no comeback.
“What does that have to do with our situation?”
“Everything. I, Brother Ming, got to where I am because of my kindness. In this cutthroat industry, kindness gets you nowhere.”
“But you’re right about one thing: the Mushroom House incident does need a response.”
“You want to apologize to them?”
“Yes, an ‘apology’!”
“Not only apologize, but write a ‘heartfelt’ essay to express my ‘sincere’ remorse!”
Xiao Ya breathed a sigh of relief and said crisply,
“Brother Ming, you should first deal with your breakup with Teacher Zheng. Her studio just dropped a bombshell, clearly because of yesterday’s incident. They want to completely cut ties with you. The online heat has already exploded.”
Zheng Jie, the top vixen in the entertainment world who had played her ex around!
Although Lv Ming had guessed this, he was still stunned when he saw over a hundred screenshots of chats Zheng’s studio had released at once.
……

[Ming]: Babe, I made you a lunchbox with love today. Can I bring it to you at noon?
[Not Chu Yuxun]: Better not, the director and others are here. If you make it just for me, they’ll have opinions.
[Ming]: Then I’ll make enough for them too, so no one can gossip.
……
[Ming]: Babe, why did you block me on your friend circle?
[Not Chu Yuxun]: Oh, I usually block family members. It’s not good if they see.
[Ming]: So I’ve always been family to you? That’s great!
……
[Ming]: Babe, I went for an IV drip today. Want to know what it was? It was the ‘miss you’ drip!
[Not Chu Yuxun]: Get lost!
[Ming]: Why don’t you ask why I went to the hospital?
[Not Chu Yuxun]: We’re breaking up!
[Ming]: Boo hoo, okay then, I’ll withdraw.
[Ming]: Please take care of yourself, princess. This might be a lifetime goodbye.
[Ming]: My sins: meeting you; knowing you; loving you; wanting you; caring for you; guarding you; protecting you; adoring you; loving you.
[Ming]: Ten sins in all. I deserve to die a thousand deaths. I withdraw!
[Not Chu Yuxun]: Where are you now?
[Ming]: Do you miss me?
[Not Chu Yuxun]: No, I just want to find someone local to slap you!

“Alright, alright.” Lv Ming despaired, covering his forehead, forced to laugh at his ex’s obsessive messages.
He didn’t even have the courage to scroll further.
Just thinking about the hundreds of chat screenshots Zheng Jie’s studio released gave Lv Ming a sudden heart attack—he barely recovered.
Xiao Ya couldn’t keep a straight face watching from the side.
Anyone seeing this would be hard-pressed to keep a straight face. Because of this, even the explosive trending hashtag #MushroomHouseIncident# was overshadowed.
“Xiao Ya, do you believe me? Brother Ming isn’t usually like this!” Lv Ming tried to seek comfort from his assistant.
Xiao Ya: “Brother Ming, you used to just stare at your phone on set, not putting it down even at meals, either zoning out looking at chat windows or replying instantly to Zheng. I’m used to it…”
Lv Ming finally closed his eyes in despair, lying on the bed, clearing his mind.
Though still breathing, his heart had been dead for some time.
After confirming Lv Ming’s intention to ‘apologize,’ Xiao Ya quietly closed the door, leaving him alone.
Soon after, he suddenly sat upright.
“This is wrong, very wrong!”
Just now, the mental trauma from the screen made him overlook the real issue. Though Zheng Jie’s posted screenshots were embarrassing, they were all taken out of context, only the ‘juiciest’ parts.
The rumor that he rose by leeching off Zheng Jie was a gross misrepresentation. In fact, as idol culture surged in Chinese entertainment, Lv Ming, with his stunning looks and physique, was a dimensional leap above other idols and caused a stir upon debut.
Seeing his potential, Huayue Entertainment heavily invested in him, and his fame rocketed like a rocket. On a variety show, Zheng Jie, who understood industry trends well, even started flirting with him during her career slump.
Rather than him riding Zheng Jie’s coattails, it was Zheng Jie, facing a decline, who was riding him.
Lv Ming took out his phone, opened the profile in his blacklist, and scrolled for a long time without reaching the beginning. He then opened the calendar and jumped to the day they became friends, scrolling down.
Seeing the nauseating contents, he frantically took screenshots.
Want to eat my traffic?
Then let’s hurt each other!
Half an hour later, Lv Ming posted over a dozen chat screenshots online, tagging #NotChuYuxun#.
[Since we broke up, please return all the money you owe me!]
#pictures##pictures##pictures#
Because of the #MushroomHouseIncident#, Lv Ming gained a million followers overnight. Though many were complex, mostly angry haters swearing in his comments, Lv Ming didn’t care. As long as people saw it, it was fine.
Countless netizens who followed Lv Ming’s Weibo saw the update and came sniffing around.
[Owe money? Owe what money?]
People curiously clicked on the screenshots. Even some “bees” and “megnes” who vowed to defend Lv Ming stopped typing.
[Not Chu Yuxun]: Babe, I’m looking at a house recently, short a thousand. Can you lend me?
[Ming]: The company hasn’t paid me for a year’s worth of work, I don’t have that much on hand.
[Not Chu Yuxun]: Babe, do you not love me? People say someone who truly loves you would never refuse any request.
[Ming]: But I really don’t have the money.
[Not Chu Yuxun]: Then get a loan, the interest isn’t high, at your level this amount is nothing, please help me. I’ll pay you back when I get my paycheck next month.
[Ming]: Okay, I have about 300 left, I’ll borrow 700 from a loan company to make up the amount.
[Ming]: Promise to pay me back promptly next month.
[Not Chu Yuxun]: Don’t worry, babe.
……
[Not Chu Yuxun]: Babe, have you eaten?
[Ming]: Not yet, been busy all day with shows, no time.
[Not Chu Yuxun]: Dummy, it’s so late, why haven’t you eaten?
[Not Chu Yuxun]: I’ll be worried if you get too hungry…
[Not Chu Yuxun]: Penalty: transfer me 520,000 on Alipay!
[Not Chu Yuxun]: Let’s see if next time you dare skip meals!
[Ming]: Don’t joke, I lent you all my money, I don’t even have enough for daily expenses now.
[Not Chu Yuxun]: Babe, don’t you love me? I was thinking of you not eating!
[Ming]: Really not, my pockets are cleaner than my face now.
[Not Chu Yuxun]: Then get a loan!
[Ming]: Stop it.
[Not Chu Yuxun]: If you don’t love me, then you don’t. Didn’t expect our relationship to be so fragile, can’t withstand the test…
[Ming]: Sent you the money!
[Not Chu Yuxun]: Love you, remember to eat well next time, it’s all for your own good.

[Ming]: I really want a McDonald’s burger, can you order me some delivery? I originally had 20,000 living expenses, just borrowed 500,000, all for you.
[Not Chu Yuxun]: Junk food’s unhealthy. You can cook, make something yourself. I’m off to shower!
……
[Ming]: Babe, the loan company is pressing me for repayment. Has your paycheck arrived?
[Ming]: Babe, say something.
[Ming]: The other party refused your voice call.
[Ming]: Babe, say something, I’m really anxious. The company refuses to pay my fees, I have no money to repay the loan.
[Not Chu Yuxun]: Babe, my paycheck hasn’t come yet. I’ll pay you back as soon as I get it, okay?
[Ming]: Okay.
……
One week later.
[Ming]: Babe, did your paycheck arrive?
[Not Chu Yuxun]: No.
Another week later.
[Ming]: Babe…
[Not Chu Yuxun]: No.
One month later.
[Ming]: Babe, I heard your paycheck was released at the start of last month. Can you pay me back now?
[Not Chu Yuxun]: What? You’re tracking me? That’s scary!
[Ming]: Really not. The loan company contacted my assistant. Her friend manages an artist in your drama. They mentioned it in passing to my assistant.
[Not Chu Yuxun]: I’m having financial issues, money is urgently needed.
[Ming]: Can’t you pay me back first?
[Not Chu Yuxun]: What about me? You know this year’s Rising Four Actresses evaluation is crucial. After so many years of hard work, I’m about to rise in status. Such an important thing, won’t you help me?
[Ming]: Fine, I’ll urge the company to pay my fees, see if I can cover the gap.
Three days later.
[Ming]: The company isn’t paying. The agent said if I cause trouble again, I’ll be shelved. Babe, can you pay me back first? I can’t afford this much.
[Not Chu Yuxun]: Are you annoying? I’m at a crucial career stage. I knew you had no money, so I didn’t ask. I’ve been considerate of you, okay? When will you consider me?
[Not Chu Yuxun]: If you can’t help me, fine. Now you’re dragging me down. Do you not love me?
[Ming]: Really not, babe. If I can’t repay, the house will be foreclosed.
[Ming]: Please help me first!
[Not Chu Yuxun]: Why don’t you mortgage your house to the bank and get a loan to cover the gap?
[Ming]: I’m afraid…
[Not Chu Yuxun]: Honestly, I’m disappointed in you.
[Not Chu Yuxun]: Other guys casually give their girlfriends houses worth tens of millions. I don’t want your mansion or luxury car. But you’re not grateful and hesitate over a thousand?
[Not Chu Yuxun]: I feel like I misjudged you.
[Ming]: Stop talking. I’ll get a loan, is that not enough?
One month later.
[Ming]: Babe, the company suddenly stopped all my endorsements and appearances. I argued with the agent; he said my singing is bad, my acting worse. Now it’s a work-based era. I have only looks, nothing else. The company plans to promote other idols from the XO boy group. I’m done!
[Ming]: Babe, I’m cut off from credit. Help!
[Ming]: Babe, my house was auctioned off. The company is still withholding my fees. I don’t know what to do.
[Ming]: I’m so hungry. Can you order me McDonald’s? I’ve wanted it for so long, babe.
[Not Chu Yuxun]: Can’t you stop bothering me with such small matters? I’m filming, making tens of thousands per minute!
[Ming]: But babe, Xiao Ya isn’t here, I don’t even have money for food…
……

Wow!
After reading these screenshots, the onlookers were truly enlightened. Even some fans who criticized Lv Ming because of his obsessive behavior were shocked.
The comment section exploded!
[There’s a twist after Zheng Ming’s breakup.]
[At first, I thought it was just a thousand loan. I thought a star’s private life wasn’t much different from ours, but later I found out it was ten million!]
[How could Zheng Jie be so trashy, threatening Lv Ming with “If you don’t love me” all the time.]
[Who forces their boyfriend to take out loans for them?]
[Poet, I’m eating this!]
[Promised to pay back in a month, but after a few days she got her paycheck and kept silent. If Lv Ming hadn’t asked, would she have never planned to pay?]
[So female celebrities also borrow money and don’t repay?]
[No way, I’m blushing just reading this!]
[My scalp tingles reading how she cared about whether Lv Ming ate, then punished him to transfer 520,000—my brain just crashed.]
[Isn’t this pure trashy behavior?]
[Lv Ming is being used as an ATM.]
[An ATM that talks, gold diggers drool watching.]
[This tone’s exactly like my ex!]
[Bro, you too?]
[Suddenly I feel sorry for Lv Ming; he’s the biggest victim in the relationship.]
