Chapter 71: Being Despised
Even as the paparazzi were frantically taking photos nearby, Deng Ziqi and Chen Yimin were still enjoying their meal.
The two of them didn't notice anything unusual.
Deng Ziqi was only focused on chatting with Chen Yimin.
Chen Yimin didn't even consider that there would be reporters nearby. In his impression, if he was having a barbecue late at night, the paparazzi would be so idle that they would come and take pictures of him secretly.
They never expected that paparazzi nowadays would do anything to make money.
After three rounds of drinks, both of them had a basic understanding of each other and appreciated each other more and more.
In Deng Ziqi's impression, Chen Yimin is a smart, witty and humorous person.
Although he is an internet celebrity, he has not lost himself because of this identity.
Through the conversation with Chen Yimin, Deng Ziqi learned about Chen Yimin's ideas and also supported his plan to become a live-streaming host.
Those who are willing to become internet celebrities and stars do it for money from the very beginning.
If these professions didn't make a lot of money, who would be willing to risk being hacked and losing their privacy just to be liked by others?
Many times, public figures cannot fall in love, get married, or have children. Even if they go to a breakfast shop in the morning, there will be a lot of people watching them.
Imagine that when you are eating, a bunch of people are surrounding you to take pictures. How can you concentrate on eating peacefully?
Every day I worry all the time about whether I will make mistakes or be caught by others. This kind of life is really too tiring.
Compared to herself, Deng Ziqi feels that Chen Yimin is a particularly real person.
From the very beginning, he wanted to make money by using his identity as an internet celebrity.
It is much better than those anchors who say they don’t make money but secretly exploit their fans.
Deng Ziqi is very happy that she can become good friends with Chen Yimin.
For Evan Chan, Deng Ziqi was just a female singer he liked.
People are more focused on the songs she sings, and don't have a deep understanding of her as a person.
Deng Ziqi watched his live broadcast, and then I added him as a friend. Now, I am afraid that he will feel constrained by his celebrity status, so I invite him to have dinner at a barbecue stall.
Chen Yimin thinks that Deng Ziqi is a very considerate person who is good at taking care of other people's feelings.
Many netizens have negative views of celebrities because of one-sided reports on the Internet, but online reports are still reported after all. If you really want to understand a person, you still have to interact with him in real life.
Perhaps from today on, Chen Yimin felt that he truly understood Deng Ziqi.
Time flies, and it's time to part.
Deng Ziqi agreed on the time and place for signing the contract tomorrow.
Remembering that her assistant had not eaten yet, she packed a barbecue for her assistant and prepared to take a taxi home.
I happily returned to the beautiful community, opened the door, and handed the packed barbecue to my assistant Xiaoli.
Xiaoli felt relieved when she saw Deng Ziqi finally came back.
I just suddenly received a notice from my agent saying that Deng Ziqi went to discuss cooperation with an internet celebrity in the middle of the night, and the two met alone at a barbecue stall.
Xiaoli was always worried about whether she would be photographed by fans or paparazzi, and only felt relieved when she saw Deng Ziqi return safely.
"Sister Ziqi, why did you take so long? Next time, you must not go out to meet internet celebrities alone, especially in a place like a barbecue stall. It would be so embarrassing if you were recognized by fans." Xiaoli looked at Deng Ziqi and said seriously.
Deng Ziqi understands that the staff around her care about her, and we have no other thoughts, we just do it for her own good.
She looked at Xiaoli gently and said, "I know, I know, you are such a nagging little thing. I guessed that you must not have eaten dinner tonight. Look, I brought you some barbecue. Eat it while it's hot."
"Don't think you can bribe me with just one barbecue. You need at least two!" Xiaoli understood what Deng Ziqi meant, but she still looked a little angry.
"Okay, then I'll treat you to barbecue next time!" Deng Ziqi didn't take it to heart.
The next morning, Chen Yimin arrived at the beautiful community where Deng Ziqi lived early as agreed.
This beautiful community has one of the strictest security in the city, and all people and vehicles coming in and out must undergo strict registration.
This is to prevent people with bad intentions from entering the suburbs and affecting the lives of residents.
Chen Yimin was of course no exception. He took the house number given by Deng Ziqi and registered his name and the resident he was visiting with the doorman.
Only after the security guard confirmed that everything was correct did Chen Yimin enter the beautiful community.
The paparazzi nearby had already been squatting in the beautiful community. Last night, he took advantage of the darkness, quietly climbed over the wall, and squatted at the gate of the beautiful community.
Seeing Chen Yimin coming in, the paparazzi quickly picked up the camera and took a few photos of Chen Yimin.
As expected, hard work pays off. These two people definitely have some special relationship.
Chen Yimin followed the directions given by Deng Ziqi and entered the building where Deng Ziqi lived.
After confirming his identity with Deng Ziqi at the door, Chen Yimin took the elevator upstairs.
From the moment I entered the beautiful community to the moment I entered Deng Ziqi's home, I was overwhelmed with emotion. The life of rich people is indeed different.
Deng Ziqi's home has a separate small courtyard and is a single-family villa. Each villa is far apart from each other, so there is no need to worry about privacy leaks.
The decoration of Deng Ziqi's home is very stylish, and the furniture is obviously worth a lot of money.
Seeing Chen Yimin coming in, Deng Ziqi enthusiastically handed him slippers and asked him to come in and sit down.
"I brought a USB drive with me. All the songs are in it. You can listen to them."
He did not forget that the main reason he came here today was about the song.
Deng Ziqi also wanted to hear the songs she heard in junior high school. Since the last time she heard them, she hadn’t heard a song that made her feel anything for a long time.
I haven’t had any inspiration to write songs recently.
After taking out the computer and inserting the USB drive, the song that Chen Yimin covered in the live broadcast room started playing.
Xiaoli heard the song and came out curiously, and saw a strange man suddenly came into the house. He seemed to be the male internet celebrity that Ziqi met yesterday.
After listening to the song, Deng Ziqi nodded with satisfaction.
Xiaoli next to her didn't care. She had seen many internet celebrities in the entertainment industry who bought ready-made versions of songs to sing in order to get ahead.
And Chen Yimin is just a new anchor. No one had ever heard of his reputation before. But he suddenly sang such a beautiful song. There must be some inside story.
"Okay, then I will transfer the 2 million that was not agreed upon to your account." After saying that, Deng Ziqi prepared to transfer the money to Chen Yimin.
"Hey, what do you do?"
Xiaoli suddenly interrupted.
When Chen Yimin heard Xiaoli asking him, he didn't think much about it and honestly told Xiaoli that he was a live-streaming anchor.
Xiaoli, who was standing by, sneered after hearing what Chen Yimin said, and there was a bit more disgust in her eyes when she looked at Chen Yimin.
She subconsciously felt that Eason Chan was just like all other internet celebrities, seeking fame.
"Two million? You made a fortune this time. You earned two million from a plagiarized song. The person who sold your song must be crying now."
