Wu Dehai, as the general manager of Maetian Entertainment, had quite a presence in the entertainment industry, especially in Hucheng’s circles where he wielded considerable influence.
And most internet celebrities actually want to integrate into the entertainment industry. Compared to stars, internet celebrities are considered lower on the ladder.
Qin Feng, despite carrying the title of “Hucheng’s Top Richest Second Generation,” also wanted to squeeze into the entertainment circle. After all, being a star carried more prestige and made earning money easier.
Therefore, even though he himself was worth a lot, Qin Feng still acted rather submissively when dealing with Wu Dehai, almost to the point of fawning over him.
However, the person he needed to fawn over was now putting on a flattering face in front of Yang Hao.
You can imagine how Qin Feng felt.
Yang Hao had never had a good impression of Wu Dehai and naturally didn’t want to have dinner with him. So after rejecting his invitation, he left with Ye Tingting and Zhou Ziqing.
“Director Yang, let me see you out!”
Although he hadn’t managed to keep Yang Hao, Wu Dehai still followed them out, obsequiously watching the three get into the car before he returned to Hushang Family.
“Director Wu, who was that person just now?”
Qin Feng, waiting in the hall, stepped forward to ask, naturally very curious about Yang Hao’s identity.
“He’s the new owner of our Maetian Entertainment.”
There was nothing to hide about this matter, and Wu Dehai casually replied. However, he felt quite burdened because he sensed Yang Hao’s cold attitude towards him.
Especially since Yang Hao was with Ye Tingting and Zhou Ziqing. Before the acquisition of Maetian Entertainment by Yang Hao, Wu Dehai had put Zhou Ziqing on ice.
Now that the new boss was getting so close to Zhou Ziqing, if she whispered anything “pillow talk,” he might be in danger.
“What!”
“He’s the new owner of Maetian Entertainment??”
After hearing Wu Dehai’s words, Qin Feng immediately exclaimed, his eyes wide and his face full of shock and incredulity.
The sycophantic Pink Hair was just as dumbfounded, his mouth gaping wide enough to fit a fist.
Zhao Yuanyuan, who was still livestreaming, was also dumbstruck. As a minor internet celebrity, she naturally had dreams of stardom and had even participated in Maetian Entertainment’s trainee selection a year ago, only to be rejected.
Yet now, Wu Dehai was saying that the person from before was the boss of Maetian Entertainment!
If that was really the case, the man’s net worth had to be at least several billions, which meant he absolutely outclassed Qin Feng.

Everyone said Qin Feng was the “Top Richest Second Generation” of Hucheng, worth tens of billions, which Zhao Yuanyuan knew was just a public persona he’d marketed; the rumors outside were wildly exaggerated.
In reality, Qin Feng’s net worth was at most a few modest goals, and that included real estate; his wealth accumulation actually relied on his internet celebrity status.
Compared to Yang Hao, who was already “capital,” there was a huge gap.
By this time, the number of people online in Zhao Yuanyuan’s livestream had exceeded twenty thousand. They had all come to watch Hucheng’s top rich second-generation show off.
The plot just now certainly hadn’t disappointed them; originally, they were discussing how amazing Qin Feng was, but after hearing Wu Dehai and Qin Feng’s conversation, the tone in the livestream chat changed drastically.
“No way, that big brother just now is the boss of Maetian Entertainment!”
“I knew that big brother had an unusual status, but I didn’t expect him to be such a big shot!”
“Since he’s the boss of Maetian Entertainment, he should be loaded. Why did he just leave all of a sudden?”
“That big shot just doesn’t bother with the small fry, this stuff is too juvenile!”
“Probably giving Mr. Qin some face, after all, they’re both prominent figures!”
“All I can say is, he’s not dumb. Spending over ten million for a private room, that would be simply insane!”
“…”
The netizens were all stunned by Yang Hao’s identity and started discussing fervently.
At that moment, Wu Dehai patted Qin Feng on the shoulder and said, “Director Yang isn’t just our boss at Maetian Entertainment, he had already acquired Tianmei Media before this.”
“So, looking at the whole entertainment industry, Director Yang is also a big shot.”
This old fox Wu Dehai had already figured out from the reactions of Qin Feng and the others that there seemed to be a conflict with their boss.
So he revealed Yang Hao’s identity outright, which was also a way of currying favor, forging a good relationship with Hucheng’s number one rich second generation. His own future was still uncertain; perhaps he could make use of Qin Feng’s connections later on.
Indeed, after hearing his words,
Qin Feng and the others were shocked once again.
Tianmei Media and Maetian Entertainment were both giants in the entertainment industry, at the forefront of their respective fields.
The market value of both companies was in the tens of billions, with Tianmei Media’s market value even breaking a hundred billion at its peak.
Even though the market values of both companies were not at their peak now, they were still around one hundred and fifty billion combined.
That meant Yang Hao’s net worth was at least above a hundred and fifty billion, given that a tycoon of his caliber wouldn’t have just one type of industry.
At this point, Qin Feng was completely numb. He had never dreamed that a random passerby he encountered would be such a high-level tycoon.
Yang Hao controlled both Tianmei Media and Maetian Entertainment, the leading companies in the entertainment industry. By comparison, his internet celebrity incubation company was just small potatoes; after all, aside from himself, the internet celebrity with the most fans in his company barely had around a million.
In this era, where internet celebrities sprouted up like bamboo shoots after rain, their ability to attract money was no longer as strong as it used to be. Since people were becoming more rational with their spending, the bonus period for livestreaming sales had passed. Thus, in the past two years, the days for internet celebrities had not been that easy.
