Because Li Manni was the host, and because she was the host, it caused quite a controversy.
In most people’s eyes, Li Manni was just an internet celebrity, and the impression of an internet celebrity is that they are not suitable for highbrow occasions, like hosting a TV show, which, to many, seemed to lower the program’s prestige.
What’s more, the show that Li Manni hosted was “My Idol,” Jiangcheng Satellite TV’s prime-time variety show.
When the news was first announced, it really caused a huge controversy, and many self-media were sarcastically suggesting she had accepted under-the-table deals, with some even saying she was the lover of a Jiangcheng Satellite TV leader.
All kinds of rumors were flying around. In short, as long as there was traffic, self-media bloggers could spin out fanciful stories.
It was not until “My Idol” officially aired that Li Manni, through her outstanding performance, slapped many self-media bloggers in the face.
Her performance in the program was not the slightest bit inferior to those professional hosts; in fact, her image gave her an edge in audience appeal, and her excellent performance in the show garnered her a large following of fans!
And after learning of Chen Ruohan’s identity, Qin Feng felt a bit embarrassed. He had just thought she was a simple, pretty girl with an innocent appearance, not expecting that she was actually somewhat of a celebrity.
Qin Feng’s plan for his own development was to gradually move from the internet celebrity circle to the entertainment industry, seeking opportunities to participate in TV program recordings, which was exactly why he was particularly courteous to Wu Dehai.
So Chen Ruohan, who had already appeared on a popular variety show like “My Idol,” was actually at the stage Qin Feng aspired to be.
After participating in this talent show, Chen Ruohan would directly enter the entertainment industry, and she could be considered a celebrity, big or small.
While Qin Feng was just an internet celebrity!
Although, in the eyes of true tycoons, whether a celebrity or an internet celebrity is not worth much.
But the social status of a celebrity is still far higher than that of an internet celebrity!
Therefore, after learning Chen Ruohan’s identity, Qin Feng truly felt a bit awkward.
“I also watch ‘My Idol’, and Ruohan, you performed very well in the show!”
“Meeting today must be fate, let’s all become friends!”
Qin Feng changed his attitude, his tone was no longer as aloof as before, but instead carried a hint of ingratiation.
“Sorry, Manni and I have things to do!”
Chen Ruohan decisively refused, then, linking arms with Li Manni, said, “Manni, let’s go!”
“Yes!”
Li Manni nodded, finding Chen Ruohan’s performance quite impressive, and she was also surprised that Chen Ruohan, seeming so fragile, would stand up firmly to protect her.
Just as the two were about to walk towards the hotel entrance, Yang Hao happened to come in from outside the hotel. Since he was there to see his sister-in-law Li Manni, he didn’t bring the sisters Bai Yun and Bai Xue with him and came alone.
“Brother-in-law!”
“Mr. Yang!!”
Li Manni and Chen Ruohan were the first to see Yang Hao, and they both called out to him joyfully.
After hearing their calls, Qin Feng and Pink Hair, as well as the flat-headed man, naturally turned their gazes as well.
Then, the three of them were stunned.
Qin Feng subconsciously clenched his fists, and the corners of his mouth twitched violently, “Him again??”
Yesterday, Qin Feng had been thoroughly tricked, and not only did he lose 11 million, but he was now being ridiculed and insulted all over the internet.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come looking for the PR company’s boss.
As fate would have it, they ran into each other again.
But the situation now was completely different from yesterday. Qin Feng had somewhat figured out Yang Hao’s background.
The man was the boss of Tianmei Media and Maetian Entertainment, and he had also acquired Hushang Family Restaurant Management Co., Ltd., a bona fide tycoon with a net worth of billions, holding a significant position in the entertainment industry.
Despite Qin Feng bearing the title of Hucheng’s top rich second-generation, with a rumored net worth of billions, he knew his own situation. He was not even in the same league as Mr. Yang.
So even though he suffered a great loss, he didn’t dare think of revenge because he knew he didn’t have the strength to do so.
If he really went for revenge, he might end up even worse off. Hence, seeing Yang Hao now, he felt very conflicted.
It was a feeling of powerlessness with the enemy in sight but not being able to defeat him.
Yet he couldn’t suppress the emotions stirring within him, given that he had suffered at the hands of Yang Hao yesterday.
Therefore, Qin Feng was rather frozen in place, unsure how to face Yang Hao.
“Mr. Qin, we meet again.”
“Such fate!”
Yang Hao was surprised to see Qin Feng here but had no psychological burden and greeted him cheerfully.
“Indeed.”
“I didn’t expect to see Director Yang so soon!”
Qin Feng nodded with a wry smile, then muttered under his breath, “Director Yang, you didn’t mention yesterday that you were the boss of Hushang Family!”
“You didn’t ask either.”
Yang Hao shrugged nonchalantly.
“Fine!”
“I indeed didn’t ask.”
Qin Feng was at a loss for words. It wasn’t a matter of asking; he simply hadn’t considered this possibility at all.
“Manni, Ruohan, do you know Mr. Qin?”
Yang Hao, oblivious to what had happened earlier, casually asked.
“Don’t know him!”
Chen Ruohan decisively shook her head, then feigned grievance and said, “Manni and I were just coming out of the elevator, and he came up to greet us.”
Yang Hao nodded, immediately understanding what had happened.
“Director Yang, it’s a misunderstanding!”
“I was just simply greeting the two big stars!”
Qin Feng hurriedly explained, “It’s not often you meet celebrities, I wanted to take a picture and get an autograph!”
“Look, I haven’t even got my little wish granted yet and here you are, Director Yang!”
“Autograph, photo?”
“Didn’t expect Mr. Qin to be a fan too!”
Yang Hao knew all too well that Qin Feng was spouting nonsense and patted him on the shoulder with a smile.
“”My Idol” is just too popular!”
“I’ve always been following it!” Qin Feng insisted with pretended seriousness.
Yang Hao laughed: “‘My Idol’?”

“Mr. Qin must be watching pirated versions!”
It was mentioned before, Qin Feng hadn’t been following the variety show “My Idol” at all. Just now, he overheard Pink Hair mentioning it and mistook “My Idol” for “Me and My Idol.”
He had intended to patch things up for himself, but ended up getting the show’s name wrong!
“Mr. Qin, it’s ‘My Idol’.”
Pink Hair quickly whispered a correction in Qin Feng’s ear.
“Right, ‘My Idol’!”
Qin Feng quickly corrected himself.
Seeing this, Yang Hao burst into laughter: “That’s not important!”
“Having a quality fan like Mr. Qin, it seems our program is really hot.”
“Just now Mr. Qin also said he wanted an autograph and photo, right? That’s no problem!”
“Manni, Ruohan, you two sign something for Mr. Qin in a bit.”
“As for the photo, you and I can just take one together!”
Yang Hao gestured with his hands.
He and Qin Feng didn’t have any deep-seated hatred; last night, the latter had only tried to show off in front of him.
However, Qin Feng not only failed to impress but also became the laughing stock of the entire internet.
In these circumstances, Yang Hao felt it necessary to placate the other party, and taking a photo wasn’t a big deal.
Of course, Yang Hao had other motives. Although the online public opinion was in his favor, there were still many criticizing comments.
So, if the two parties could have a photo together, those abusive and questioning voices would naturally disappear.
Look, the two of them have made up.
What’s there left to argue about?!
“A photo with Director Yang!”
“That would truly be an honor!”
What else could Qin Feng say? Although he was reluctant to take a photo with Yang Hao, his “enemy,” since the latter had offered, he couldn’t refuse.
So, the two who were at odds just yesterday stood together, and Pink Hair eagerly held up the phone to take their picture.
However, during the photo session, Pink Hair felt somewhat dazed. Just yesterday they were enemies, and today they were posing together with arms around each other’s shoulders.
All one could say is, this world is just fricking insane!
