It felt like the holidays had arrived!

With Gu Xingyi’s Weibo post getting increasingly popular, more and more netizens rushed in excitedly, quickly clicking on the long-awaited post and feeling instant joy.

Sure enough! It had to be Gu Xingyi! Only this rascal's songs could captivate them like this.

And it wasn't just today's "Counterattack"; tomorrow there'd be Huayang’s "Chasing Dreams with a Pure Heart," and the day after that, Xia Xiyao’s album would finally launch, featuring not only the previous songs from StarSong Gathering but also a mysterious new track!

They loved it! Absolutely loved it!

In an instant, netizens felt overwhelmed by happiness. It really felt like celebrating a festival!

Online excitement exploded completely. With various media outlets and marketing accounts joining the fray, it wasn’t just Weibo—even news headlines, Douyin, and the infamous "UC Shock Department" had entered the battlefield!

Suddenly, Gu Xingyi’s Weibo post and Huayang’s repost simultaneously topped the trending charts across every platform. The previous number one was quickly pushed aside, trembling quietly at third place.

Inside Tianmei Entertainment, Liu Gao stared gloomily at the fiercely trending Weibo post topping the charts.

He never imagined Huayang would step out publicly to back this!

In the past, celebrities and singers were all just toys for capital. Even when Gu Xingyi and Xia Xiyao were trending previously, he never paid them much attention.

Because popularity would always fade eventually and could always be suppressed. Once popularity was lost, everything would settle down.

Capital could never be defeated—no one could refuse the lure of profit!

But now—

One Gu Xingyi had broken this rule, and there was only one reason: Central Mama had stepped in. No matter how strong capital was, no one dared act recklessly in front of Central Mama.

Liu Gao calmly put down his phone. Only now did he finally acknowledge that Gu Xingyi truly qualified as his opponent.

He had tried to ban Gu Xingyi, yet Gu Xingyi had effortlessly turned the ban into a joke, borrowing strength to strike back.

Worst of all, Huayang even proactively stood up to support him, demonstrating just how terrifying this man was.

“Notify everyone to stop all actions against Xia Xiyao immediately. Ha, since Gu Xingyi wants a battle, I'll grant his wish! I'd like to see how one man plans to fight against all of capital!”

Meanwhile, inside Shengshi Entertainment, Tian Xingchi narrowed his tiny eyes, calmly observing the unfolding drama on Weibo. A moment later, he suddenly smiled, muttering softly:

“Interesting! Now things are truly becoming interesting!”

And at Yinhai Entertainment, Yang Xian leisurely browsed Weibo, looking utterly pleased. Beside him, Yang Chenglin stared wide-eyed at the screen.

“He...he actually managed it! He solved everything perfectly!”

“I told you long ago, he's no ordinary person. He wouldn't do something he's unsure about. Daughter, see? Isn’t your father’s insight better than yours?”

Yang Xian chuckled softly, lifting the teacup from the table and sipping leisurely.

Yang Chenglin glanced at her smug father and quietly grumbled:

“Two foxes—neither of them any good.”

Hearing this, Yang Xian nearly spat out his tea. What did she mean, neither was good? Calling Gu Xingyi names was fine, but why include her own father in that?!

...

“Aaaahhh~ Gu Xingyi! What exactly is your brain made of?! You’re amazing! That’s Huayang!”

Tao Lele’s terrifying screams made Gu Xingyi instinctively want to cover his ears. He quickly stopped her:

“Calm down! Calm down! You’re acting like you've never seen anything impressive before!”

Gu Xingyi was smiling as he said this, although he himself had also been surprised by Huayang's repost of his Weibo.

Initially, his plan was simply to post on Weibo first. After Huayang’s program aired, his song would naturally become popular, and those so-called capitalists wouldn't be able to suppress his momentum any longer.

The only difference was that one was proactive, and the other passive.

Gu Xingyi really hadn't expected Huayang would directly step forward like this, leaving him owing an enormous favor!

Still, owing Central Mama a favor seemed pretty good, too!

“What do you mean, acting like I've never seen anything impressive before?! Look at Xiyao-jie—she’s shocked too!”

Hearing Gu Xingyi’s teasing, Tao Lele pouted unhappily and gestured toward Xia Xiyao, indicating that her jiejie was equally stunned.

Gu Xingyi turned his head and saw Xia Xiyao sitting blankly on the sofa, staring at him with a dazed look and flushed cheeks.

Uh... Gu Xingyi rubbed his forehead helplessly. If you don’t understand, don’t say nonsense! Xia Xiyao wasn’t stunned at all.

Clearly, she looked like this because he had thoroughly "bullied" her early this morning before the little one woke up.

“Alright, you keep being shocked on your own. I have to go out now—I promised Fengzi I'd help recruit some voice actors at the Media University today.”

Checking the time on his phone, Gu Xingyi stood up and glanced again at the dazed Xia Xiyao.

“Wife, I’m heading out!”

“Huh?”

“Oh, okay!”

Xia Xiyao’s mind was still completely jumbled. Hearing Gu Xingyi’s voice, she lifted her head in confusion and responded without fully understanding what he had said.

Gu Xingyi scratched his nose awkwardly and, under Tao Lele's puzzled gaze, quickly slipped out the door.

Heaven have mercy—he’d been single his whole previous life, and seeing that scenario in the morning, how could he resist? Consequently, Xia Xiyao ended up in this state.

Still, hehe~ even if given another chance, he definitely wouldn’t hold back!

Driving straight to the gates of Jiangcheng Media University, Gu Xingyi put on his pre-prepared mask and baseball cap before stepping out of the car.

With his skyrocketing popularity, masks and caps had become essential whenever he went out.

Students passed by the university gates in small groups. When Gu Xingyi reached the front gate, he saw Chen Feng already waiting for him there.

Gu Xingyi wasn't very familiar with recruitment, so this time he had just agreed to help out at Chen Feng’s request.

“Lao Gu! Over here!”

Before he even got close, Chen Feng shouted out. As expected, masks and hats were totally useless in front of someone who already knew you!

Gu Xingyi quickly walked over, glanced toward the campus, and asked:

“So, what's the plan for recruiting?”

“Let's go! I’ve already contacted some juniors inside, and they've organized quite a few applicants for today—they’re just waiting for us!”

“Alright!”

Nodding, Gu Xingyi followed Chen Feng onto campus.

Only after the mini-recruitment event started did Gu Xingyi realize his primary role here was actually as a mascot!

Looking at the young juniors staring at him with wolf-like eagerness, Gu Xingyi gulped nervously. Right now, he seriously wanted to stab Chen Feng, this bastard who'd sold him out to attract employees!

No wonder a simple recruitment had turned into a full-fledged mini-job fair—this bastard had obviously informed everyone beforehand that Gu Xingyi himself would be attending!

He felt numb! Not from recruiting, but from signing autographs!

Although the recruitment was ultimately successful, at this moment, Gu Xingyi just wanted to send the stupidly grinning fatty beside him straight to the vegetable market!

Oh, no, wait—not the vegetable market. The morning market!

He was craving pork now!
