The director took a deep drag on his cigarette and, looking at the comments scrolling across the screen, decided to ask Ma Ling for a photo of Chi Yining's ID card.
But before he could message Ma Ling, a message from her popped up.
She really had sent a picture of an ID card, with the ID number and home address pixelated.
Chi Yining in the ID photo looked exactly like Chi Yining in the hall, except for a slight difference in his eyes.
In the ID photo, Chi Yining's gaze was strong.
But Chi Yining in the hall had no expression at all, and not a ripple stirred in his eyes...
Hadn't this guy been chasing a car just yesterday? What was wrong with him today? Did this Chi Yining have split personalities?
The busy director didn't dwell on it and opened the official Weibo account for the Love Competition production team.
He quickly typed up a post and added the picture.

"Are our viewers watching the livestream looking forward to the next guest as much as I am? Please welcome him!"
"Good evening to everyone watching the livestream. Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to watch our dating show, Love Competition. I'm male guest Gu Chengyuan. I believe you're all very familiar with me already, so I won't introduce myself at length. Thank you, everyone!"
Chi Yining merely glanced at Gu Chengyuan without reacting, leaving the livestream viewers questioning everything they knew.
[Holy shit... this is a fake Chi Yining, right? He has to be fake, right?
[The person sitting quietly in that chair right now definitely isn't him! Otherwise, how could he have no reaction when Film Emperor Gu stood up to speak?]
[I have some unfortunate news for everyone. The production team just posted on Weibo. It really is Chi Yining...]
[Do you think his company threatened him before, and that's why he did all that cringe stuff?]
[To the person above, don't be such a face-con! He's Chi Yining! No matter how handsome he is, I'll never like him!]
At that moment, Chi Yining truly felt nothing. This Film Emperor Gu didn't seem particularly outstanding-his looks were only average for the entertainment industry.
He had a pair of soulful eyes and regular features, nothing special. Compared with the male guests who had come before him, Film Emperor Gu seemed to be getting slightly outshone in the looks department.
Especially by the lawyer beside him, whose innate presence alone could overshadow him.
Perhaps his distaste for the original owner's crazed obsession with him had made him dislike the man as well...
And so far, Gu Chengyuan had never directly addressed his attitude toward or thoughts on the original owner's frantic pursuit of him.
He had kept allowing the original owner to carry on like this. Only his fans had stepped forward to stop it; Film Emperor Gu's side had never issued a statement at all.
Then could he take it that Gu Chengyuan had deliberately indulged the original owner?
Because this had also brought Gu Chengyuan enormous commercial benefits.
Whenever the original owner appeared, netizens would think of Gu Chengyuan. Even people who didn't know Gu Chengyuan would go and look up just who the film emperor Chi Yining was so crazily obsessed with was.
Netizens would check out Film Emperor Gu's work, updates, and Weibo.
Chi Yining felt he couldn't keep thinking about it. The entertainment industry really was dark...
And that guy who had egged the original owner on to pursue Film Emperor Gu and taught him how to do his makeup was truly vicious. As expected of the novel's white lotus second male lead.
Having zoned out for a moment, Chi Yining had no idea what the host had just said.
The man in the suit beside him stood up and introduced himself. "Yan Guiyun, twenty-seven."
Speaking of this man in a suit, he really looked like a character who had stepped out of a comic. His deep, pitch-black eyes held an enchanting gleam, and his exquisitely shaped lips exuded elegance and nobility.
Judging by his years of experience as a comic artist who enjoyed observing people unnoticed, this man was an overbearing CEO!
"Thank you for introducing yourself, Mr. Yan Guiyun! Next, I'll announce tomorrow's itinerary!"
