AFVSIBS Chapter 231: The Top Star Personally Seeks Zhou Chen's Help


Cheng Qiang knew very well that someone in Chen Xiaoyu's situation was beyond saving, just waiting for the official announcement of his ban from the industry the next morning. Once Chen Xiaoyu was blacklisted, he wouldn't be able to appear on "Music 2023". Without the top star Chen Xiaoyu, it was impossible for "Music 2023" to achieve high attention and ratings, especially compared to "The Sino-Foreign Music Festival" featuring Zhou Chen.


Now, Cheng Qiang just needed to quietly wait for time to pass.


Zhou Chen, on the other hand, was already asleep and naturally unaware of the uproar online. The next morning, after getting up and washing, he received a call from Wan Fangfang, who told him about the situation. 


However, he wasn't surprised because this was within his expectations.


"Sister Fangfang, I'm sorry, but I won this bet. So, you can't persuade me to agree to perform at the Spring Festival Gala anymore."


"Alright, a bet is a bet. Besides, I couldn't persuade you anyway."


At this point, Wan Fangfang had nothing more to say. Even without the bet, how could she persuade Zhou Chen if he didn't want to perform at the Spring Festival Gala?


"Thanks, I'll go down for breakfast. See you in a bit."


Zhou Chen briefly said, then hung up the phone. He put on his shoes, changed his clothes, and went downstairs to have breakfast with Wan Fangfang.


While they were eating, the discussions about kicking Chen Xiaoyu out of the entertainment industry continued to rage online. In the internet age, the higher you're praised, the harder you're slammed.


In response to the overwhelming public outcry, relevant organizations and associations issued statements canceling Chen Xiaoyu's membership in the Arts Association and revoking his actor's license. Chen Xiaoyu's agency, Jushi Entertainment, also issued a statement terminating their contract with him and pledging never to work with him again.


In an instant, Chen Xiaoyu was blacklisted by the industry. Knowing this, Chen Xiaoyu once again collapsed in despair. He never imagined that a small mistake would utterly ruin him.


He felt bitter and defiant.


"Damn you, Wei Wentao! I followed your advice and got into this mess. Now that I'm useless to you, you won't even take my calls. Even if I can't bring you down, I'll expose your ugly face."


Chen Xiaoyu initially thought it unnecessary to reveal the truth, but now he couldn't swallow his anger. Even knowing that exposing the truth wouldn't affect Wei Wentao much, he still wanted to do it. He understood that Wei Wentao's goal was the traffic for "Music 2023". If he revealed that the fake charity and fake donation were orchestrated by Wei Wentao, the show's reputation would be ruined before it even started. It might not even air.


So, he tried to log into his Weibo to post a long article. But when he tried to log in, he found that his account had been deactivated and he couldn't log in at all.


"Damn it, it must be Wei Wentao's doing."


Chen Xiaoyu cursed and tried to register a new account with his ID, but every attempt failed. He then realized that his ID had been blacklisted by Weibo, making it impossible to register any account with his information.


This made him even angrier and more frustrated. He tried using his relatives' and friends' IDs to register.


Meanwhile, Wei Wentao, after breakfast, stayed in his office thinking about how to boost the attention and ratings of "Music 2023". He knew it would be challenging without the top star Chen Xiaoyu. Although Zheng Shulong was also a first-tier star, his influence was far from that of Zhou Chen.


"Director Wei, we should aim to get through this smoothly," suggested his assistant, Feng Lili.


"What do you mean?"


"Chen Xiaoyu has been blacklisted, and it was our idea for him to fake the charity and donation. Will he take this lying down? Won't he try to get back at us?" Feng Lili expressed her concerns.


"We've prepared for this. He won't have a chance to speak out."


"Director Wei already has a plan?"


"Sort of. With his blacklisting, his Weibo account has been deactivated, and his ID can't register any new account. So he won't be able to speak out."


"Director Wei, you're brilliant. But what if he uses a relative or friend's ID to register a new account?"


"If you can think of it, don't you think I have too? To be honest, any account he uses will be deleted. So he won't be able to reveal the truth."


Wei Wentao finished speaking with a smug smile. Yes, he had planned everything, so he wasn't worried about Chen Xiaoyu exposing the fake 100 million donation.


Indeed, no matter how Chen Xiaoyu tried, any post he made was deleted.


"Damn you, Wei Wentao. Since you've gone this far, don't blame me for being ruthless."


Chen Xiaoyu thought of one last resort: seeking Zhou Chen's help and asking him to expose the truth. Even if he went down, he wanted to drag Wei Wentao down with him. If Wei Wentao had answered his calls and helped him, he could have endured and considered himself unlucky. But now, Wei Wentao's attitude had left him cold. He was willing to swallow his pride and seek out Zhou Chen, leveraging Zhou Chen's influence to expose the truth.


Although blacklisted, Chen Xiaoyu had plenty of money. Being a top star for years, he had made a fortune.


Quickly, he bought a ticket and flew to Asu City. Using some old connections, he soon found Zhou Chen's manager, Wan Fangfang.


"What? You want Zhou Chen to help you expose that Wei Wentao orchestrated the fake 100 million donation scandal?" Wan Fangfang was shocked upon hearing Chen Xiaoyu's plea. She never expected the once top star to personally seek Zhou Chen's help, which was astonishing.

# Game Design: You All Rate it Very Easy? Warning Note: I am translating this for myself i real like this novel, there are some small and big issue with translation. This is mtl  Ye Feng crossed over to a parallel world where games were scarce. He obtained a game development system that increased his game-making abilities based on players rating his games as "super difficult." However, the feedback he received was consistently "very easy." Determined to challenge this, he introduced a series of notoriously hard games from his previous world, such as *Getting Over It*, *Dead Cells*, *Bloodborne*, and *Sekiro*.
