So when the related search term "【Ren Yibai's acting skills are actually not bad】" appeared on the trending list, Xiao He almost died laughing.

Ren Yibai was so angry that he went crazy.

"No, what kind of human language are they speaking?"

Ren Yibai could hardly believe his eyes: "This is the PR strategy you found for me?"

"You even started comparing how rotten it was to me?"

Looking at the comments section, Ren Yibai felt like biting someone.

"Can't you guys help shift the firepower?"

He asked through gritted teeth.

"Well--"

The PR person looked at the person in front of them cautiously, "Ms. Ren, what are your thoughts?"

The most powerful firepower in the entire movie is on you, how am I supposed to transfer it to someone else?

Who could be worse than you?

To be honest, there's really nothing to criticize about "Mistaken Identity". The script has the original version as a guarantee, and the acting is supported by Xiao He. Even the pressure of the finale falls on the screenwriter and Xiao He. What does Ren Yibai have left besides his advantageous position in the credits?

We can't exactly have people focus their attacks on Xiao He, can we? What does this have to do with Xiao He?

“I’ve already investigated this Tiger Brother. He’s a fan of Xiao He and has been promoting Xiao He’s works for many years without missing a single one. So I think this matter is very likely related to Xiao He.”

Ren Yibai narrowed his eyes slightly, "You should guide this matter a bit, and push the hashtag 'The Villain Overturns the Table' to the top."

Public relations personnel:?

Hey, are you out of your mind?

What does this have to do with Xiao He?

Why are you flipping the table? What's on the table? Your leftovers?

"Actually, I think this might have nothing to do with Xiao He."

The public relations staff offered a tactful suggestion.

"What matters is not what he actually did, but what others think he did."

Ren Yibai glanced at the PR staff indifferently, "Don't tell me you don't even understand this basic principle."

That's how public opinion works; the more people say it, the more it seems to become true, even if it's not true.

"But--"

Public relations staff are secretly complaining.

This is really not something they can decide. Besides, they're all from the same production team. It's a bit too ugly for them to be tearing each other apart like this. The movie is still showing! Everyone is waiting for the box office revenue sharing. If things get too ugly, their company will be the one that suffers the losses in the end.

Moreover, that agent from Linghui Entertainment... is not someone to be trifled with. If something really goes wrong later, they might have to find a scapegoat to appease that woman's anger.

Oh, and then, as the investigation progressed, he was the one who took the blame.

Don't think he doesn't know how this guy's previous assistants left!

Fortunately, at this moment, Ren Yibai's assistant, Xiao Gao, walked in and reminded him, "Brother Ren, it seems that President Lin has heard something and is coming over soon."

"What?"

Ren Yibai immediately stopped talking, turned around and left, clearly not intending to stay any longer.

The public relations staff immediately raised their voices and asked loudly, "Teacher Ren, what about the public relations arrangements you mentioned—"

"No!"

Ren Yibai spoke stiffly, then walked straight out, while Xiao Gao nodded slightly to the public relations staff.

The PR staff breathed a sigh of relief and nodded gratefully to Xiao Gao.

Meanwhile, Ren Yibai hurriedly walked out, almost bumping into another person along the way.

The man was dressed in trendy clothes and wore sunglasses, looking fashionable and stylish. After recognizing Ren Yibai, he took off his sunglasses, smiled, and spoke casually but respectfully: "Hello, Brother Ren."

Ren Yibai's face darkened even more when he saw the person in front of him.

This person was Zhao Qinyuan.

If Zhao Qinyuan hadn't suddenly switched jobs and joined their company, he would have been the future number one!

But it's all this guy's fault. He used underhanded methods, releasing dirt on him, causing his reputation to plummet. Even during the promotional tour for "Mistaken Identity," he had to swallow his pride and endure Xiao He, a supporting actor, being promoted as the main actor, using Xiao He's fame to attract audiences and letting Xiao He completely overshadow him in the movie...

This person is the culprit who caused him to end up in this situation!

Thinking of this, Ren Yibai's face darkened even more.

Recent setbacks and public criticism have clouded his judgment, making it even harder for him to control his temper, which he could previously suppress.

So when Zhao Qinyuan greeted him, he didn't respond at all, but just sneered and said in a sarcastic tone, "I heard you recently got Director Wang's audition recommendation, that's really impressive, you must do your best to pass the audition!"

Zhao Qinyuan simply smiled gently: "Thank you for your kind words."

"I wonder what someone will choose in the end if they come here and there's no suitable CP (couple pairing) to hype up." Ren Yibai said, rubbing his hands with a disgusted look. "You're not going to end up with BL (Boys' Love) stuff, are you? That would be really disgusting."

"Ren Yibai!"

Just then, Mr. Lin's furious shout came from the other side of the corridor, "You fucking better not cause any more trouble! Behave yourself during the movie's release!"

Hearing President Lin's merciless rebuke, Ren Yibai's expression changed slightly, while Zhao Qinyuan shrugged at him, looking like he didn't care what he said.

Soon, President Lin walked over, saw Ren Yibai and Zhao Qinyuan together, glared at Ren Yibai, and said, "Hurry up and come with me!" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Ren Yibai gritted his teeth, considering his declining status, and could only silently follow President Lin away.

Clearly, he can no longer cause any trouble.

To maintain one's position, one must preserve "Making a Mistake and Making a Mistake".

To maintain the box office performance of "Mistaken Identity", they need to... cling to Xiao He's coattails.

Ren Yibai lost the competition in the company, so he was no longer qualified to be on equal footing with Xiao He, let alone let Xiao He be his supporting actor for the second time.

It didn't exist before, and it certainly doesn't exist now.

Watching Ren Yibai being led away by President Lin, Zhao Qinyuan hummed a little tune and happily took out his phone.

-

On the other side of Beijing, Liu Rulan also slowly took out her phone.

"What's wrong, Sister Liu? Is there anything I can help you with?"

Xiao He noticed Liu Rulan's actions and asked her with concern.

"Need not."

Liu Rulan glanced at the contents of her phone briefly before putting it away again.

"I just found someone to solve a small problem."

Liu Rulan chuckled.

Although Zhao Qinyuan focused his efforts on how to create a romantic pairing, gain popularity, and build connections, he was undeniably a very useful tool.

At least by doing this, they won't need to deal with Ren Yibai anymore.

Oh, to be precise, they never considered Ren Yibai as Xiao He's rival.

Just find someone to handle it.

It saves me from having to tear things apart and causing unnecessary trouble.

As Liu Rulan pondered this, she slowly said, "When Zhao Qinyuan comes to see you in the future, you can give him a nicer look. After all, he's a 'friend' you've worked with before."

Xiao He seemed to understand something. Although he didn't know what Liu «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» Rulan had done, he could roughly guess the reason: "Okay, I understand."
