[So did this actor actually do drugs or not? If he did drugs and can still act, @State Administration of Radio and Television, it's time for you to step in.]

[Xu Yuqing? I know him. Wasn't he proven innocent back then?]

[Wow, is Chen Chengrong directing another new movie? Let me count... It's been over four years since the last movie he directed.]

[Chen Chengrong? The last movie he made was awful. I even went to see it in the theater and got scammed out of my money. Tsk.]

[There's nothing interesting about watching them here. I'd rather go look at two handsome guys, hehe.]

[Exactly. One actor with scandals, one director who makes terrible movies—what good movie could they possibly make together? What's there to watch? I'm off to look at handsome guys, hehe, let me lick lick lick.]

[Xu Yuqing actually terminated his contract with Star Universe Entertainment? And what kind of company is Jinbai Entertainment?]

[Jinbai Entertainment? I've never even heard that name. Some tiny trash company, probably.]

[Tsk, looks like Xu Yuqing's acting career is about to end.]

[His acting career ended ages ago, didn't it? Still, Xu Yuqing really is handsome. What a shame. But those two handsome guys are even better-looking. I'm going back to look at handsome passersby. At least they don't have scandals. Just lick and be done with it. It'd be great if those handsome guys entered the entertainment industry too.]

Xu Yuqing's fans saw the surge in attention too. Though helpless as their idol was cursed at and slandered, they took advantage of the wave and flooded Jinbai Entertainment's official account, asking what was going on with the movie and whether Xu Yuqing had agreed to appear in it voluntarily.

Most importantly, they wanted to know exactly what kind of company Jinbai Entertainment was. Please don't let it be some shabby little workshop.

Just as such comments gradually increased, someone else released photos of Cai Jinbai and Xuan Yu.

—They were photos of the two appearing at S City Airport.

They had clearly been secretly taken by a passerby, and the angle was not very good. Yet it did nothing to diminish either man's presence and charm. A casually snapped photo looked no worse than the carefully staged airport shots of celebrities—perhaps even better.

[Ahhh, they're way too handsome! And there are two of them!]

[Saved the photos. Please give us more!]

[Handsome guys are still the best. Unlike the mess over there.]

[Over there? What? What gossip did I miss this time?]

[Haha, are you talking about that actor surnamed Xu and Director Chen? True, watching them is nowhere near as good as looking at these two handsome guys.]

[Holy shit, holy shit, go look! I'm so shocked I could do sit-ups. These two handsome guys are actually the president and vice president of Jinbai Entertainment!]

[What? Are you kidding? Those things have nothing to do with each other. How could that be possible?]

[If I'm kidding, I'm a pig. Now the connection's right there. Oh my god, their official account has already claimed them, and their profile pages even have introductions now. Go see for yourselves if you don't believe me. The link is right here.]

Even more netizens rushed in to leave shocked comments, and countless "holy shits" filled the page.

Every single one was an expression of disbelief and astonishment. The way this was developing had completely exceeded their expectations.

Just then, as Xu Yuqing's fans thought they would once again receive no response, Jinbai Entertainment's official account suddenly posted an update.

—[Hello, everyone. I'm Little Jin, the little assistant running Jinbai Entertainment's official account. From now on, I'll be managing the company's official account. Since everyone has so many questions about our company and the actors under it, Little Jin will take this rare opportunity to answer them all one by one.]

[Today is truly a magical day. Little Jin never expected my two bosses to become popular online! So, taking advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Little Jin would like to formally introduce Jinbai Entertainment's two founder presidents, @CaiJinbaiPresidentCai and @XuanYuVicePresidentXuan. That's right, they're the handsome ice cream guys everyone likes. Reposting the video and photos—these two are our company's president and vice president! Why not guess which one is President Cai and which one is Vice President Xuan?~]

The moment this post went up, every netizen browsing the page or who had just entered it stared blankly. Only after a long pause did they come back to their senses, their minds flooded with "holy shit" as trembling fingertips typed out stunned comments.

[...I recognize every word, so why can't I understand them when they're put together?]

[Wait... these two handsome guys are actually presidents of a company? Is this some novel coming to life? Domineering CEOs?]

[The key point is! These two handsome guys are the bosses of Xu Yuqing's new company! I was just mocking Jinbai Entertainment for being some tiny trash company... Oh my god, what kind of coincidence is this? The company bosses and actor trending at the same time? Are you sure this wasn't bought?]

[These two are the bosses of our idol's company? They're so young? And so handsome?]

[So what exactly is Jinbai Entertainment's background? Their president looks like that... He could debut on the spot. Oh right, I'm going to check their profiles. The president is called Cai Jinbai? Jinbai... So the company was named after him.]

For a time, the netizens' desire to investigate was completely stirred up, and they all went to search for Cai Jinbai and Xuan Yu's profiles.

Then, on their profile pages, they saw one very crucial piece of information—the address of Jinbai Entertainment.

Netizens with wider sources of information immediately caught on.

Even those who did not know could search the address themselves, and when they came back, their faces were full of shock once more.

When they saw comments from Xu Yuqing's fans beneath Jinbai Entertainment's official account, they could not help replying.

[How did your idol join some tiny company? Is a company that owns an entire central office building considered small?]

[This is a landmark building in S City's New Urban District! An entire office building—damn, that's seriously impressive. This isn't something a minor rich guy could buy. They've got good looks, but they've got even more money. Both presidents are so handsome too. Did they save the world in their past lives?]

[Guys, latest news: Director Chen Chengrong's new movie was also invested in by Jinbai Entertainment! So can we say that these two presidents saw the potential in Director Chen's new movie and invested in it? And that's why they had an actor from their company play the third male lead?]

[Stop worrying already. With a company this big, what could they possibly squeeze out of your idol? Besides, Xu Yuqing has scandals hanging over him.]

[Handsome guys really are handsome guys. Their backgrounds are also at heights ordinary people like us can only look up at. Hiss, Jinbai Entertainment's building probably isn't any worse than Star Universe Entertainment's, right?]

[It's not just no worse. Star Universe Entertainment doesn't have an entire central building in the New Urban District, and they probably couldn't afford one either. Do you understand what "landmark" means? I suggest you all look up the news from when the New Urban District landmark building was up for bidding. The people competing were all major players with countless assets, and the competition was a bloodbath. What the hell is Star Universe Entertainment compared to that? The amounts of money involved were beyond anything you could imagine in a lifetime. Yet Jinbai Entertainment's president not only bought an entire building outright, he also bought the surrounding land. Tsk tsk, what does that mean? This president's wealth is astonishing beyond compare. In this country, he's probably—no, definitely—the richest man. Oh right, I forgot to mention that President Cai and Vice President Xuan both came from abroad.]

[No wonder there were photos of them at the airport...]

As more netizens joined in, the trending list was completely taken over by searches related to Jinbai Entertainment.

It exploded!!!

[#JinbaiEntertainment#]

[#HandsomePresident#]

[#WhichOneIsPresidentCaiAndWhichOneIsVicePresidentXuan#]

[#XuYuqingNewCompany#]

And so on...

Xu Yuqing's fans were all dumbfounded. Once they snapped out of it, they were ecstatic, clapping in celebration.

Great! It wasn't some shabby little company!

Great! The company owned an entire office building, and its presidents were so handsome. They definitely would not exploit their idol!

Great! Little Xu had someone backing him now!

Then came the mockery and rebuttals toward the haters.

[Haha, do you see it now? This is the tiny, trash company you people were talking about. Can your company buy an entire office building? A building in the center of the New Urban District, too. It's a landmark, understand?]

[Now they must be devastated. Our Little Xu found an especially amazing entertainment company.]

[My mistake, I apologize. I shouldn't have called Jinbai Entertainment an obscure little company. With this kind of financial power, you're bound to soar in the future! Go, go, go!]

[I apologize too, haha. I was wrong too. Who said this company was bad? This company is amazing.]

[Little Xu, you have to do well at your new company.]

The fans celebrated as though it were a holiday, while the haters secretly gritted their teeth.

At the same time, the netizens who had already been obsessively watching the videos and photos of the handsome guys were even more excited.

What? The handsome guys were presidents too? One president and one vice president? Oh my god, what kind of novel plot was this? Starting a company together, hehe.

[Which one is President Cai and which one is Vice President Xuan? My guess is that the one in black is Vice President Xuan, while the one wearing glasses is President Cai. Because the one below dotes on the one above in terms of company status, and because the one above does the work while the one below acts spoiled because he's favored, hehe. I won't spell out what that means. Those who get it, get it. Covering-mouth-smile jpg.]

The moment this comment appeared, it received the most likes.

Little Jin, the official account assistant, replied: [Correct! The one in black is our Vice President Xuan, and the one wearing glasses is our President Cai.]

The netizen immediately followed up: [Then did I guess the relationship between the two correctly too?]

Little Jin: [Yes, one is the president and one is the vice president.]

Netizen: [...]

Was this Little Jin assistant pretending to be dumb with her?

Forget it. How could they possibly admit something like that? She should just ship them in secret.

Cai Jinbao hopped twice beside Cai Jinbai. After replying to the netizen's question, it puzzledly twisted its little body and said, "Master, did Jinbao answer something wrong?"
