A legal threat

"Boss Xu, they're all talk, they don't dare to fight!"

"That's the most amazing thing about my Livestream Room: pure trash-talking, extreme swearing, and regional discrimination without any worldly desires!"

"Everyone sacrifices their parents and extended family, fairly hurling insults at every stranger, their mouths like they're laced with arsenic, making the listener's blood boil and their heart burn with a burning urge to curse!"

"This is the biggest feature of our Livestream Room: once we attract them, they become our free source of publicity, pushing our program to every age group and every corner of the world!"

Hearing Xu Yi's unique explanation, Boss Xu fell silent, then his knees buckled, and he almost knelt down before Xu Yi.

That's incredibly insightful! This perspective is absolutely unique!

Invest money!

He wants to keep investing money!

"Holy crap! Guys, stop swearing! We've been used by Xu Yi!"

"Xu Yi, you deserve to die! The brothers were just trying to sabotage you, and you actually want to treat them like cattle?"

"We can't beat him! We really can't beat Xu Chu! That kid is a real beast. No matter how hard we try, he'll just play us like puppets!"

[Negative emotions +999]

The Livestream Viewers were completely devastated.

Are you convinced now?

Xu Yi glanced at the netizens' lamentations and curled his lip in exasperation.

With such limited skills, trying to undermine him in the Livestream Room is incredibly naive.

"Boss Xu, Boss Xu, you've finally arrived! You must stand up for me!"

A pig-like scream suddenly rang out.

Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged man with dark circles under his eyes, a swollen face, and looking extremely haggard rushed out and pounced on Boss Xu.

"A ghost!"

Holy crap, how can there be such an ugly person in the world?

"I just Pinhaofan, and this guy almost scared me so much I dropped it on the floor!"

The Livestream Room was filled with resentment.

Boss Xu was also startled, but he immediately recognized the person in front of him as not a demon, but Liao Zisheng.

"Liao Zisheng, you're a public figure, can't you be a little more mindful of your image?"

"I'm not happy about it, "Boss Xu said.

Although "Actors Please Take Your Place" was just a small, unpopular show, it was still something he put together with real money.

Xu Yi had finally managed to stir up some trouble, and he didn't want Liao Zisheng, that rotten apple, to spoil the whole bunch.

"Boss Xu, I'm here to film your show, not to be a clown. How could you let him force me to eat pig intestines?"

Liao Zisheng ignored Boss Xu's reprimand, clung tightly to Boss Xu's arm, and began to recount his grievances with snot and tears streaming down his face.

"Twenty years ago, I was quite an idol. Although I'm middle-aged now, with thinner hair and a bit more weight, with a little dressing up, I can still pull off the look of a melancholic middle-aged man!"

"If you let him do this, how am I supposed to survive in the entertainment industry? How am I supposed to make money in the online celebrity world?"

"I'm going to sue him! I absolutely must sue him!"

Liao Zisheng became more and more excited as he spoke.

From yesterday until now, he has experienced the ups and downs of life.

At first, he thought that by attaching himself to Du Rufeng, he could soar to new heights and return to his former glory.

Little did I know that this was just a beautiful misunderstanding, the beginning of a nightmare.

His only home, worth millions, was mortgaged. After years of dreaming, he finally appeared on the Trending Search list, but only in the public eye, as someone eating pig intestines.

The house is gone, and my reputation is ruined!

What's most infuriating is that even though he had already asked his manager to stop the Traffic Matrix, some bastard was still flooding the comments section with comments like "Brother is so handsome," attracting countless fans who were unaware of the truth.

After watching the video, these fans who had been lured in by his good looks immediately launched a barrage of criticism against him. In just one night, the number of comments cursing him exceeded 100,000!

Comments! 100,000!

Many people never get more than 100,000 likes in their entire lives!

Stirring things up, isn't this stirring things up?

This is blatant mockery!

Doesn't he know whether he's handsome or not?

"Old Liao, you're a public figure, after all. You were just teased a little, why are you so angry?"

Boss Xu offered a few perfunctory words of comfort.

"You're part of the production team now, so what's wrong with sacrificing a little personal gain? You can't be so selfish!"

While giving him perfunctory answers, Boss Xu also stabbed Liao Zisheng in the heart twice more.

One knife is called self-sacrifice; the other is called "Don't be ungrateful."

"Besides me, who else is offering you film contracts? If you keep acting like this, I'll see who still cares about you!"

After just three sentences, Boss Xu's attitude towards Liao Zisheng was crystal clear.

For the sake of the production team, you have to endure whatever injustices you may suffer.

"You're bullying me, Boss Xu! You're bullying me too!"

Liao Zisheng burst into tears, utterly devastated.

Am I being ridiculous? Don't I have a spirit of sacrifice? If you were nicknamed "Ancestor of Pig Intestines," could you tolerate it?

The Ancestor of Pig Intestines?

Boss Xu's lips twitched as he looked at Liao Zisheng with pity.

If someone did that to him, he would also break down.

But there's nothing I can do; he's the Boss.

The more popular Xu Yi became, the happier he was.

He just added another three million to his investment; that's his life savings!

"Just bear with it a little longer. Being called the Ancestor of Pig Intestines' means you've opened up a new market. Maybe a lot of pork producers will come to you for cooperation?"

Boss Xu patted Liao Zisheng on the shoulder.

Upon hearing this, Liao Zisheng gritted his teeth in hatred.

Is this something to be happy about?

According to his original plan, he could receive all kinds of popular advertisements, which would enhance his commercial image and value.

Now, he can only be associated with pig intestines.

No, it might even be associated with pig manure in the future!

"If you don't remove the Bilibili-style meme video, I'll sue your production team!"

Seeing that pleading for mercy was useless, Liao Zisheng completely abandoned all pretense of civility.

Boss Xu frowned.

"Liao Zisheng, let's talk this out. Even if we can't be friends, we're still in the industry. Do you really want to completely break ties with me?"

"Do I still have any shame? If this continues, you, as the Boss, will definitely make a fortune, but my reputation will be ruined!"

Liao Zisheng said through gritted teeth.

Boss Xu stared coldly at Liao Zisheng, his eyes darting around.

Liao Zisheng stubbornly held on.

But he had to persevere.

Boss Xu wasn't as tough as he appeared on the surface.

The show has finally sparked some buzz, and the biggest fear now is that something will go wrong. As the main guest for the next episode, if Liao Zisheng were to break off relations, it would definitely be a devastating blow to the show.

But getting him to remove the Bilibili-style meme video is absolutely impossible.

"How about this, I'll give you another three million as personal compensation."

Boss Xu gritted his teeth and reluctantly agreed to the compensation.

Liao Zisheng's eyes lit up. Three million wasn't a lot, but at least he had made a profit and won back his most important property.

Just as Liao Zisheng was about to receive the check, a hand snatched it away.

"Boss Xu, I'll take the money. I'll take care of your problem."
