Chapter 456: A terrifying amount of Reputation Points!

At night.

Zhang Ye was in the study room, humming away as he worked on a second grader’s homework. The subject wasn’t difficult, but as he had to imitate Chenchen’s handwriting, Zhang Ye’s speed naturally slowed down. After he finished it, he took a look at his watch. It was already 8:30PM.

Ring, ring, ring.

It was yet another call. This time, it was from Yao Jiancai.

It sounded very noisy over there, like some music was playing in the background. It was probably either a bar or the karaoke.

“Little Zhang, it’s me.” Yao Jiancai said.

Zhang Ye said, “What’s the matter, Old Yao?”

Yao Jiancai said, “I am at Karaoke. Do you wanna join us?”

Zhang Ye asked, “You finished your filming?”

Yao Jiancai said, “Yea, I just got back to Beijing and went for an outdoor shoot. It didn’t take too long.”

Zhang Ye said, “Oh, Hur Hur. I can’t join you though. I am helping a friend take care of her kid, so I can’t get away for now.”

Yao Jiancai said, “Then there’s no other way to go about this. Oh, did you hear about the new policies that the SARFT will be pa.s.sing tomorrow? I wonder what it’s about, do you?”

Zhang Ye said, “If even you don’t know, how could I possibly know?”

Yao Jiancai said, “Doesn’t anyone from your circle of friends know?”

Zhang Ye said helplessly, “….You think that I have friends?”

Yao Jiancai heard that and laughed loudly, “Hahaha, that’s true. You have offended too many people. Only I seem to be close to you. Your popularity is really terrible to a certain extent.”

“What do you mean my popularity is terrible? That’s me keeping a low profile.” Zhang Ye did not like what he had heard.

“You can say anything you want.” Yao Jiancai said, “Alright now, I’ll begin my singing and drinking now. I wanted to have a get together, but since you have no time, we can meet in a couple of days somewhere. It’s been too long.”

“Sure.” Zhang Ye hung up.

In the entertainment business, other people made friends with certain interests in mind. Those celebrities, who were always together having fun or drinking and eating together, those buddies or BFFs, who took photographs together daily, were basically doing all of that to advance their careers, but Zhang Ye and Yao Jiancai didn’t have this sort of things going on between them. Zhang Ye was a broadcast host who dabbled in literature and occasionally music, while Yao Jiancai was an actor with his main line in drama acting. The two of them might both be in the entertainment business, one being a C-lister while the other a D-lister, but their paths almost never coincided. It was only that one time when Zhang Ye made a cameo appearance in the movie that he had worked with Yao Jiancai and that was where he had gotten to know him.

Excluding Dong Shanshan and Zhang Yuanqi, Zhang Ye’s closest friend would be Old Yao. Do you think they had never encountered any obstacles together? No! Do you think that they ever helped each other in any way? No! How many times would you say they had a meal together? Also none! But these two clicked well from the moment they had met each other. Their temperaments matched well even if their ages differed by a large gap. This friends.h.i.+p duo could be even considered as a ‘wonder’ in an industry as diverse as this!

After closing the workbook, his mind wandered to the announcement of the policies that would be made tomorrow. What sort of policies would be introduced? As long as it’s not something that would drag this bro down, it would be OK, but Zhang Ye somehow had a feeling of uneasiness. This was because Weiwo WebTV had rushed to finish broadcasting his “Zhang Ye’s Talk Show” to avoid it not being affected by the policy changes and Zhang Ye felt that they would not have done so if they did not receive some sort of insider news. It must have been because the changes were significantly important to have warranted such actions!

Sigh, he could only wait.

It was useless to think too much. At most, he would come up with something more orthodox next time and not choose something as satirical as a talk show.
