Why the hell are you laughing?

No one had ever seen such snide sarcasm before, and the fans instantly lost their cool.

The first fans to see the comments began arguing with Yezi.

But who could have expected this Yezi to be so formidable? No matter what the fans said, he could perfectly shut them down with his own logic.

By the end, the replies under that comment had grown into hundreds of threads.

Two-thirds of the replies were Yezi jumping around and spouting off in all sorts of ways.

Over the course of one night, more and more fans noticed Yezi. Yet Ye Zexi's fans still believed in letting things go when possible. Quite a few major fan accounts even posted on the supertopic, calling on other fans not to let anyone manipulate the narrative.

Perhaps the more everyone ignored him, the more Yezi felt that he was in the right.

Early the next morning, Ye Zexi saw those remarks as soon as he woke up.

Ye Zexi read them with great interest while muttering to himself. This hater might have impressive combat power, but weren't his words a little too lacking in snide sarcasm?

He was simply on a completely different level from the haters Ye Zexi had encountered before.

If the full score was a hundred, Ye Zexi could only give him ten points. Those ten points were for his dedication—he had stayed up all night insulting people. He was practically risking his life to curse people out. Admirable.

Of course, aside from that, there was nothing else worth praising.

What an adorable failed hater.

Once his interest was piqued, Ye Zexi simply switched to his main account.

Yezi: What the hell is this Ye Zexi?

Ye Zexi replied, "Nothing much. Just an ordinary rich guy."

Yezi: Ye Zexi is such trash, and he can still stay in the entertainment industry? This is killing me.

Ye Zexi commented, "Then what do you think he should do?"

This time, Yezi did not even check who had replied and answered directly, "Do I need to teach you? Quit the industry."

Ye Zexi agreed wholeheartedly, reposted that Weibo post, and commented, "That's a good idea."

Ye Zexi, who rarely posted on Weibo, had commented on a hater's Weibo posts three times as soon as he logged in. He had even reposted the hater's post at the end and said he was quitting the industry.

At first, the fans found it amusing when they saw Ye Zexi replying to the hater. Who could have expected Ye Zexi, who practically never logged onto Weibo, to log in this time just to reply to a hater?

When they saw the words "ordinary rich guy," the fans laughed so hard they doubled over.

Ye Zexi was so annoying. Why did he have to tell such blunt truths?

But before the fans could be happy for long, they soon saw the three words "quit the industry." Their smiles instantly froze, and the fans were so furious their blood rushed to their heads.

Who the hell did that hater think he was? What right did he have to tell Ye Zexi to quit the industry?

The fans had repeatedly held back because they truly did not want to stir up trouble and bring unnecessary hate to Ye Zexi.

But now it seemed that their restraint had only emboldened the hater. Not only had he danced right in front of Ye Zexi, he had even told Ye Zexi to quit the industry?

Who the hell was this hater? Did he deserve to say that?

The fans were furious, and the homebody male fans in particular could no longer sit still.

Wasn't it just snide sarcasm? Who didn't know how to do that?

While comforting Ye Zexi, the fans organized themselves to take turns battling the hater.

Little did they know that as Ye Zexi scrolled through the steadily increasing comments beneath the Weibo post, he had genuinely begun considering the possibility of "quitting the industry because a hater affected his mental state."

The more Ye Zexi thought about it, the more feasible the plan seemed.

But before Ye Zexi could put it into action, Gao Shu called.

When Gao Shu got up that morning and saw Ye Zexi's posts on Weibo, he was not surprised at all. Instead, he had a strong feeling of, Just as expected.

This was the fearless young master he remembered.

But as an artist about to debut, Ye Zexi still could not casually express his opinions online.

Gao Shu approved inwardly, but he still said aloud, "Young Master, you shouldn't have paid attention to that hater."

Ye Zexi's tone was calm. "I think he didn't say anything wrong."

Gao Shu's tone immediately turned stern. "How was he not wrong? Young Master, you have so many outstanding works. He's just selectively pretending to be blind."

"Enough. Young Master, don't worry about this. Focus on your training, and I'll handle it," Gao Shu said.

Ye Zexi hesitated. He truly wanted to quit the industry right away, but he did not have much money in hand yet, nor had he laid any groundwork. If he directly said that a hater had affected him and that he wanted to quit the industry, the reason would be far too flimsy.

If he were a fan, he would not believe it either.

So he could only wait until he found a better reason and a better time before announcing that he was quitting the industry.

Though somewhat regretful, Ye Zexi could only agree.

After hearing Ye Zexi's answer, Gao Shu was even more satisfied. Although the young master still retained some of his former temperament, he could clearly listen to advice now.

That was progress, real progress!

Gao Shu happily hung up and began having the operations team draft a Weibo post.

Half an hour later, just as Ye Zexi's fans had cursed the hater so thoroughly that he could barely keep up with the replies, Ye Zexi Studio posted this on Weibo.

@Ye Zexi Studio: There really aren't many works, just a small Bvlgari endorsement and several television drama invitations. Thank you all for your support. Don't get angry over some inexplicable person anymore.

At the same time, the studio posted two photos. One showed the already-signed endorsement contract, while the other showed several script invitations.

This time, the fans were truly stunned.

Their Ye Zexi had received a Bvlgari endorsement before even debuting! And television drama invitations too? Was this for real?

But calling a Bvlgari endorsement a small endorsement—only Ye Zexi Studio would dare call it that.

As expected of a wealthy young master!

While shoving screenshots of the photos and Weibo post in the hater's face, the fans also flooded the studio's comments with "hahahaha."

"Bvlgari is called a small endorsement too!!!"
