Chapter 199
For a full two months after the end of the Muse fashion show, Cheng Su realized what it to be hidden away.
The opportunities he got since three or four years ago started getting further and further away from him. At first, some ordinary employees of the company didn't find anything strange. They thought that Cheng Su recently wanted to take a break and took the initiative to push away so many jobs.
But as more and more rumours spread in the Muse Modelling Agency and the Huaxia fashion industry, many people started to look at Cheng Su with strange eyes.
"I heard that Cheng Su often suppress small models and loves to play with the big ones. Is this true?"
"It must be true! Don't just talk about peers. Let me tell you, Xiao An is Cheng Su's second assistant. Cheng Su's first assistant was when he entered the company and accidentally offended Cheng Su. The company seemed to value him very much and the little girl was scolded and sent somewhere else."
"He was so arrogant after just entering the company?"
“How can it stop here? I have a relative who works at Z Province's TV Station. He say that when Cheng Su participated in a very famous reality show last year, he always stole the camera and provoked a small star."
……
In the beginning, these words were only talked about behind Cheng Su's back. But once they discovered that even Zeng Shu was too lazy to manage Cheng Su, there was more unscrupulous talk about the rights and wrongs behind the scenes.
This type of person who liked to gossip about the people falling down was quite common in society.
In the past, they taunted Ming Yu and also sneered that Zhao Rui couldn't hold onto models. Now they secretly started speaking about Cheng Su.
This type of behavior was indeed very shameful. But once Ming Yu learned from Luo Ru that Cheng Su was very angry with these people but helpless (there were too many people to grasp), Ming Xiaoyu didn't show much reaction. He just continued to watch the development.
Originally, Luo Ru was very surprised about Ming Xiaoyu being so against Cheng Su. Later, Zhao Rui told her some of the incidents from the past and Ming Yu secretly told her about the 'buying Jiang Kaiyang' incident. Luo Ru had little affection for Cheng Su and now her heart beat faster at seeing him so miserable.
"I've always disliked people who gossip but it is very refreshing to see Cheng Su being ridiculed by them."
If Cheng Su's life was like this, what about on the Internet?
After all, Cheng Su was a somewhat famous supermodel and still had a lot of fans in Huaxia. The fans discovered that their male god hadn't appeared in public for a long time and no announcements were made. They thought he just wanted to rest.
But after a two month break, how could they not find it a bit strange?
【 What happened to Ah Cheng? Why hasn't he shown up lately? 】
【 I haven't seen Ah Cheng since his variety show one and a half months ago. What is going on? Why did Ah Cheng suddenly disappear? 】
【 He will step down from the world supermodels list. @Muse Modelling Agency, what are you doing? If Ah Cheng doesn't appear on the list because you haven't arranged resources for him, can you afford to take responsibility! 】……
Surprisingly, many sunspots came out at this time to engage in conspiracy theories. They said 'someone is targeting Cheng Su' and 'there is definitely a reason for this. Perhaps someone is doing bad things in the back.' But no matter how the fans jumped and cursed the staff of Muse, Cheng Su still didn't get any jobs!
It had been two months.
Cheng Su was pushed to the brink.
If it continued like this, he wouldn't be able to maintain his position as a supermodel, let alone rise up into the rankings!
In this desperate time, Cheng Su's assistant Xiao An advised him to temporarily bow to Ming Yu. After all, Ming Yu was now a top 20 supermodel in the world. Perhaps after one month, he could really climb into the top 1- and then Cheng Su wouldn't be a match for his influence.
Xiao An persuaded him for a long time. Cheng Su gritted his teeth and decided to go to Ming Yu.
He had just walked to the door of Ming Yu's lounge when he saw Zhao Rui and Luo Ru coming.
When they saw Cheng Su, Zhao Rui sneered while Luo Ru asked with a smile, "The 25 million yuan silencing fee. Mr. Cheng, you must've borrowed money right? How much is it now?"
The mocking in these words completely flowed out.
Cheng Su was already under pressure from the heavy debt. His eyes reddened and he almost turned to leave. However, his assistant Xiao An advised him to come back. He whispered, "Ah Cheng, we are still too insufficient. We must first take a soft approach. We aren't afraid of Ming Yu. This is just temporarily bowing our heads."
Thanks to this comfort, Cheng Su dragged his feet into Ming Yu's lounge like he was a grandfather. He didn't expect that after his second step into the door, Ming Yu raised his head with surprise and laughed. "Sister Luo, who could you let this person enter? It would be bad if he sees the information on the table."
Luo Ru was stunned by the words before smiling.
Then Cheng Su was mercilessly swept out!
The door slammed in front of him, almost smashing his face!
He came with a hot face to someone's place of business only to be hit with a cold butt? He wasn't stupid enough to do such a thankless thing!
Ming Yu had a bit of success now and it was enough to drag him down! Who was it who kept sending text messages to Cheng Su a few years ago, asking to see him every day? Now he was climbing up Xi Ze?
“Xiao An, I can't stand it! Our materials are enough right now! Put it up!"
The assistant Xiao An was stunned and hurriedly said, "Brother Cheng, I'm worried that these things won't be enough to break Ming Yu…"
"At the very least! I want him to stop at 16th place and not go any further! A disgusting homosexual who only knows how to walk through the back door and take a gold master is simply a shame to the industry!"
The next day, Ming Yu and everyone else didn't expect for a photo to be suddenly posted on Tianya, the largest netizen forum in Huaxia!
[The scandal of the fashion industry! Both of them are disgusting homosexuals!!!]
【 1L: Hehe, who are the gays who provoked you? In recent years, gay marriage laws are becoming better. Didn't you listen to yesterday's news where it say that gay marriage is likely to be allowed this year? 】
【 2L: I am gay, what about it? Oh, no! This is a scandal? 】
【 3L: Wait, didn't you notice the photo that LZ posted. The scandal of the fashion industry… Geez, I feel strange. Who are these two people? They look familiar! 】……
【 6L: So surprising! Isn't this Ming Yu sitting beside the driver? He is Ming Yu! 】
【 8L: Ah? It really is my Ming Xiao… eh? Wait wait wait, what is going on?!! 】
【 16L: It is Xi Ze! The driver is Xi Ze! It must be Xi Ze ahhhhh!! 】
【 20L: Ahhh, is today my lucky day?!! My two gods are a pair? I have to go downstairs and run away ahhhhhhhh!!!! 】……
【 616L: This photo of a same-sex couple kissing in the car is too fuzzy. Is it shot from a long distance? It isn't clear at all. They seem like Xi Ze and Ming Yu but I'm really not sure. Regardless of whether it is like LZ said or two people kissing at home, please calm down for a moment. LZ, do you have a high definition photo? This photo is a little unclear. 】 In just one hour!
This post was pushed to second place in today's list on Tianya!
At the same time, many netizens reposted this photo to Weibo, Baidu and the Muse fan forum.
The people on the streets who saw this photo were also shocked. Ming Yu's fans saw this photo and were completely dumbfounded. They didn't know what to say.
Many of Ming Xiaoyu's fans were also CP fans. It was like a pie suddenly falling from the sky when they found out that their two male gods might be a pair… what did it feel like?
Some fans used 'ahhhhhhh' to express their joy but other fans felt a bit strange. Since Luo Ru didn't intervene in this matter, several moderators of the Ming Yu fan forum jointly issued an emergency red stickied notice.
[The photo isn't yet confirmed. Please don't be too excited so as to not cause a bad reaction.]
Indeed, any fan who saw this photo would definitely become very excited.
The first type were the ordinary CP fans, or rotten fans. The person in the driver's seat was really vague but they were fans of Ming Xiaoyu for more than a year. They already decided in their hearts that this was absolutely Small Mushroom!
Small Mushroom was actually kissing a man in the car?
Wait, this was wrong?
The point was, Ming Xiaoyu seemed to be kissing Xi Ze in the car?!!
What was this surprise? Was today the end of the world? Or were they dreaming?
The second type were passersby fans who felt quite complicated about this matter. After all, there wasn't strong opposition to homosexuality in Huaxia but there were still people who discriminated against homosexuality.
These fans were very fond of Ming Yu but they also cared about this matter. Therefore, they had some reservations.
Finally, the third type were the fans who turned black.
'Why doesn't Ming Yu marry me?', 'If he isn't with me, I won't be his fan anymore, 'I like him so much. Why doesn't he like me?' etc. Cough, this type of brainless fans weren't a large proportion of Ming Xiaoyu's fan group but they were certain present.
Fortunately, most fans still support the idea of 'whatever Ming Yu chooses, we support him.'
Many fans were on the alert. The LZ that sent this photo was obviously a side account and this was likely to be a terrible event! The fans couldn't be taken advantage of or the consequences would be really unimaginable!
【 7199L: LZ, this photo really isn't convincing? Maybe it just looks like them? 】
【 LZ to 7199L: I will post more photos on Weibo. Take a look. The name is @Rising Supermodel is Gay. 】
Chapter 200
Nine photos were released and suddenly caused a storm!
The person who broke the news seemed to know who to tease the fans' appetites and raise the hype. The first photo he released on Tianya was very vague, making people feel doubt.
However, the nine photos he later released were completely without any doubts!
It was still a sneak shot from far away and the clarity wasn't high enough for the features to be seen, but the online was clearly revealed. At the same time, there seemed to be a light in the distance. In the fifth photo, the headlights lit up the two people, making it absolutely impossible to deny their identities!
【 It really is Mushroom and God Xi… really Mushroom and God Xi… really Mushroom and God Xi… 】
【 Ming Xiaoyu and God Xi are really handsome. These blurred photos like so beautiful. The side face is beautiful and these photos are really beautiful! …Well, I seem to have gone a bit off track but they are really beautiful! 】
【 No matter what the relationship between Ming Yu and Xi Ze is, I want to ask @Rising Supermodel is Gay, do you discriminate against homosexuality? In front of all the netizens, you dare say that you discriminate against homosexuality? Gay marriage is about to be legalized. Why are you discriminating against homosexuality? I am a homosexual. I'm not a fan of these two people. But since you say that homosexuality is disgusting and that they are disgusting, I must stand up and defend our interests! 】……
All types of words instantly filled the screen.
Not even an hour had passed and the #Xi Ze Ming Yu# topic reached the top of the popular Weibo list! At the same time in Tianya, someone posted the nine photos and the post instantly shot to the hottest post of the day, hottest of the week and even third hottest of the month!
In today’s world, the popularity of the fashion industry wasn't as high as the entertainment industry. However, it wasn't far behind. Beautiful and handsome models were always the focus of attention.
Xi Ze had long been popular to the north and south of Yangtze River. Ming Yu was a super newcomer with high exposure in the past two years. The combination of these two people caused a fierce explosion.
For a time, fans were rioting and the fashion lovers were rioting. Even the passersby couldn't help taking a look at what was going on.
The 10 photos were extremely important to human life.
Apart from the fans who were mad because they didn't accept homosexuality, most fans gave well wishes. In order to join Ming Yu's fan forum, the true love fans passed the 100 questions and paid the membership fee. Then they started a posted.
They kept posting instead of replying to only one post and they all said the same sentence.
This type of behavior would usually have the IPs blocked. However, this time even a few moderators joined to constantly write:
“As long as you are good, we are good.”
“As long as you are good, we are good.”
“As long as you are good, we are good.”
……
On the other side, there were too many Xi Ze fans and it was hard for them to unify. It was obvious that passersby couldn't speak on the Muse fan forum. Ming Yu's total number of fans was 20 million but Xi Ze had reached a terrible 45 million. This gap was unimaginable.
Due to this, some fans on Xi Ze's side hesitated.
【 The photos are like this but is it really them? 】 After all, the male god who they liked for 10 years was suddenly with another person. As long as they weren't CP fans, most fans couldn't' help feeling a bit sour. It was an impossible first love and they knew there was no hope. But to bless their first love when he got a lover, this type of bitter feeling deep in the heart couldn't be resisted.
Ming Xiaoyu's fans were loyal but they only liked him for a bit more than a year.
What about Xi Ze?
Many of Xi Ze's fans liked this male god from their teenage years. When they were in high school, they saved their soda money to buy magazines where he was on the cover and even some of the items he endorsed.
Now almost 10 years later, these teenage girls had become mature women. It seemed very interesting when they looked back on the time. However, as they grew up, Xi Ze became a man they looked up to and respected with all their hearts.
Many people thought that no one in this world would be worthy of Xi Ze or that he wouldn't like anyone.
Didn't you see that Xi Ze didn't have any bit of news regarding a big beauty like He Chaoman?
The fans didn't expect for a person to really exist. He just appeared a bit late and his gender was male.
With this complicated mood, Xi Ze's fans chose to act like Ming Yu's fans. They started to feel the screen with blessings, hoping Xi Ze would see it. Everyone was trying to maintain order and let everyone calm down. Don't act rashly until actual evidence came out.
This time, they waited and a few more photos came out!
It was still a sneak shot!
It was a photo from a dark place.
This was a quiet and secluded park trail. The bright moonlight slowly fell from the sky and dyed the ground autumn-white. From deep in the forest, a man walked along the man holding the hand of a young man.
Tall, handsome and upright.
The two men's hands were held tightly and it could clearly be seen with the five senses.
Now no one could question the relationship between the two people.
Xi Ze's fans were silent and no one dared to make a post. Ming Xiaoyu's fans were happy, although there were some small losses. A CP fan even wrote on her Weibo: 【 I have always been a fan of God Xi x Ming Xiaoyu but I didn't expect this thing to be true. I am a bit sad. The Small Mushroom that I put at the top of my heart, he was taken away. Although I am a CP fan, I feel a bit lost. 】
Of course, this loss was only temporary and everyone soon continued to be happy.
But the celebration didn't last long with the po (TL: seems to be the short form for the poster) called Rising Supermodel is Gay suddenly released a long Weibo. 【 Do you really think there is any true love in this industry? 】
The Weibo was over 3,000 words and detailed all of Ming Yu's experiences from his debut until now!
At the age of 14, he entered Muse.
At the age of 15, he was on the cover of the second-tier magazine Meditation Road and appeared in the inner cover of the first-tier Lanka.
At 16 years old, he participating in the advertisement of a second-tier cosmetics brand as a supporting role.
From 14 to 17, Ming Yu's life went from a high to a low. However, all the netizens were surprised to find that after 17 years old, Ming Yu flew up in an instant!
Seeing these qualifications of the past was nothing. It just so happened that the po wrote some meaningful words next to the timeline.
In November 2016, Xi Ze and Ming Yu interacted on Weibo for the first time. In December 2016, Xi Ze attended the Pei Feng autumn fashion show. （ Note: this was the only fashion show for a second-tier brand hat Xi Ze attended in the past three years.）
January 2017…
A variety of materials linked Ming Yu and Xi Ze together almost every month.
Without a careful investigation, these past things were very easy to ignore. But once they were pointed out, people became vaguely aware: 【 How come Ming Yu got so many jobs. Does it have anything to do with Xi Ze? 】 As for these qualifications, only the insiders of the industry knew. At the end of the lost post, Rising Supermodel is Gay po master wrote this:
【 I have exposed Ming Yu because I really look down on his behavior. I heard a friend say that a super newcomer in the industry could get a rapid development because he held onto another person's thighs and accepted the unspoken rules. I still didn't believe it until my friend showed my these photos.
I used to like Ming Yu and never thought he was such a person.
I am here to expose one thing. The first 10 photos in the beginning are taken in the car. My friend was just passing by and noticed with his keen eyesight. In order to take a big road, Ming Yu took the initiative to climb the gold master. Yes, my friend told me it was Ming Yu who took the initiative, not Xi Ze.
Why is there such deep water in our industry?
Why do people mention our water depth when they talk about our fashion industry and the entertainment industry next door?
It is because there are people like Ming Yu! He doesn't think about progress and just wants to rely on the unspoken rules to be a model!
I am against the unspoken rules. I resist Ming Yu! 】
