Chapter 387: Chapter 366: This Could Reach Me Too_1
Starlight, ninth floor music composition department, representing the office.
Lin Yuan, whom Jin Mu described as “dominating, awe-inspiring”, was exuberantly playing with a toy car—
This was no ordinary toy car.
This was a toy racing car that could transform like a Rubik’s Cube to shape-shift into a robot with slight folding.
Lin Yuan’s fingers were nimbly moving the toy’s joints, quickly creating a commanding, mighty small robot.
At the helmet of the robot, the lights flickered and gleamed, utterly cool.
Where did this toy car come from?
Of course, Sun Yaohuo gifted it.
Upon hearing Lin Yuan mention “Transformers” a few times, Sun Yaohuo searched online extensively but found no lead. Eventually, he had to ask Lin Yuan about what exactly these Transformers were.
Lin Yuan briefly explained, and then Sun Yaohuo had this toy ordered from Han Continent.
This morning, Sun Yaohuo rushed to the company to personally handover the gift to Lin Yuan.
And no doubt, this gift was quite similar to Transformers.
Even though it was not Bumblebee, the design philosophy of the toy was the same as that of Transformers.

“Shoo!”
Lin Yuan placed the toy on his desk, staring at the robot while making sound effects with his mouth.
Seeing Lin Yuan enjoying himself, Sun Yaohuo was cheered as well. Rubbing his hands together, he said, “Junior, do you want to dine at my restaurant tonight? I recently opened a new one specializing in Yan Continent cuisine.”
Reluctantly shifting his gaze from the robot to Sun Yaohuo, Lin Yuan questioned, “Yan Continent?”
“Mhm.”
Sun Yaohuo laughed and said, “Isn’t Yan Continent about to join the merger? At that time, surely a lot of Yan people will come here to work. I think opening a restaurant catering to Yan tastes will have a good market…”
Lin Yuan was somewhat intrigued but then said, “Maybe later. Tonight, I want to go home early as I have to go to the set tomorrow.”
Sun Yaohuo quickly responded, “No problem! Just let me know anytime what you want to eat. My restaurants have everything.”
“Senior has opened many restaurants.” Lin Yuan was surprised.
Sun Yaohuo waved his hand dismissively. “Not that many, just three hot pot restaurants and six others that primarily feature different cuisines. Last time, Xue Liang mentioned you have an interest in steak, so I plan to open a steakhouse next year. You should come and try it.”
“Great!”
Lin Yuan nodded joyfully.
At that moment, Sun Yaohuo’s phone rang. He apologized and moved away to take the call at the corner of the room.
Not sure what the other party said, but Sun Yaohuo suddenly became excited. “Really? They want me as an endorser? That’s great! Hahaha! Thank you for getting me this endorsement. I’ll treat you to a meal tonight at my restaurant…what did you say? Half price isn’t enough? You think you’re my dad? Bye.”
After finishing his statement, Sun Yaohuo hung up the call and burst into laughter, even humming to himself.
“Senior.”
Lin Yuan helplessly asked, “Can you be more mature and composed like me?”
Meanwhile,
The toy, which Lin Yuan had once again folded back into the shape of a racing car, rolled its wheels on the desk until it collided with a stack of papers and came to a halt.
“…”
Sun Yaohuo glanced at the toy racing car, then at Lin Yuan. In the end, he silently nodded his head.
“What’s going on?”
Lin Yuan returned to fiddling with the racing car.
Sun Yaohuo joyfully exclaimed, “Endorsement! A top-tier brand wants me as their endorser. This would be my first time being an endorser for a top-tier brand!”
“Congratulations, senior.”
Lin Yuan lifted up the race car, observing its rapidly spinning wheels.
…
Clearly,
Because both versions—the Mandarin and Qi language versions—of the song “Ten Years” made a strong impact, Sun Yaohuo had completely risen to stardom. Currently, even top-tier brands were approaching him for endorsements.
As Wu Yong put it:
Sun Yaohuo’s popularity is soaring. If he could continue this momentum until year-end, he might secure a position as a top-tier singer.
Furthermore,
The two versions of the song significantly boosted Lin Yuan’s music-making reputation.
At this point in time, the impacts of both songs had not yet fully subsided.
Online,
Beyond the discussions about the two versions of “Ten Years”, there was a new hot topic online. A popular blogger had joked about the September new song list:
“Do you guys know why Xian Yu released two songs in September?”
Netizens were naturally curious and started leaving comments asking for more insights. They thought this person might have a new interpretation of these two songs, just as Rabbit Two had analyzed the lyrics of Xian Yu’s two songs.
As a result, this person replied seriously, “Because not everyone can occupy the second position!”
“…”
Netizens understood immediately. Everyone knew this was an implied sarcastic jab at Fei Yang’s Perennial Runner-up stigma!
“Hahahahaha, you’re so naughty!”
“Xian Yu: You, Ling Feng, are also worthy of the 2nd place?”
“Xian Yu: Defending the best in the world, Fei Yang.”
“This interpretation makes perfect sense and is very convincing. Yes, in order to defend the Perennial Runner-up position for King Fei, Lin Yuan released a song named ‘Next Year, Today’ to grab the top place himself.”
“Xian Yu: The second place is not for everyone!”
“Xian Yu: Chen Zhiyu can, Fei Yang can, but you, Ling Feng, are still not up to it.”
“What talk about two unique lyrics for one song? This is probably Xian Yu’s special care for the Perennial Runner-up!”
“Xian Yu was forced to do this. To make room for Fei Yang or Chen Zhiyu to take up the second place, he had to release ‘Next Year, Today’ himself to take up the first.”
“…”
Following the tradition of joking around, the netizens were playing with memes in the comments and soon the joke spread across many forums, leading many other netizens to follow suit.
Everyone clearly knew that Xian Yu didn’t mean it this way.
But it doesn’t matter.
Who asked for the Perennial Runner-up meme to be relevant to this issue?
As more and more netizens started playing with that meme, Chen Zhiyu’s comment section inevitably attracted a lot of troll netizens.
But compared to Chen Zhiyu, Fei Yang’s comment section was truly the epicenter of troll netizens!
Everyone knew Chen Zhiyu had successfully passed on the torch, giving the title of Perennial Runner-up to Fei Yang.
Now it’s the era of Fei Yang, the second generation Perennial Runner-up!
“Fish says: Only you can sit in the second spot.”
“King Fei, what a face!”
“I wish Fish and you fly together!”
“Waiting for another double!”
“Chen Zhiyu took the second place three times, King Fei only twice. One more time and it’ll be perfect!”
“Sense the deep love from Xian Yu?”
“…”
At this time, Fei Yang was doing a show outside. During the break, he intended to update a status to interact with his fans and casually looked at his comment section.
Looking at the comments, Fei Yang was dumbfounded.
Dense comments. Every page filled with different jokes. After looking carefully for a while, every page was filled with four words, “Perennial Runner-up”.
No way, right?
Can this also be made into a joke about me?
You guys are not done yet, are you?
