"Are there any female idols in the entertainment industry who are only 23 years old and worth over a billion?” Anna frowned. Back then, even with her strong connections, she had never achieved such remarkable success. Now there was someone who could surpass her, truly surpassing the master."

"Some, you'll know who it is if you ask. I'm tired, I'm going to take a nap, call me when it's time to eat." Gu Lan'an hinted with implications and then quickly left. Anyway, his mother would eventually find out about his feelings for Zhao Ye. Instead of passively learning about it through the media, why not take the initiative and let her become aware of it, preparing herself mentally in advance? Look around the entire entertainment circle, who else is so young and has such a high net worth? Only Zhao Ye."

Going upstairs and entering her own room, Gu Lan'an lay on her bed and took out her phone. She glanced at the video from yesterday – in fact, she only paid attention to one person, Zhao Ye. She took a screenshot when Zhao Ye approached her and set it as her wallpaper. Then, she opened the app store, downloaded Weibo, and registered an account with the nickname "Gu Lan'an." She followed Zhao Ye, read all of his few Weibo posts, liked them all, and checked the trending topics. There, she found her own name trending just below "Zhao Emperor Awards" with the topic "Gu Lan'an Refuses to sign."

When I clicked on the hot search, it was all malicious accusations spread by marketing accounts. They said things like "participating in the entertainment industry without any intention but for the sake of entertainment only" or "being rejected due to improper behavior" or "depending on others to rise to power, that's why no one signed them..."

"Heh, such despicable tactics." Gu Lan'an chuckled. Di Yu has truly mastered the art of manipulation. In order to maintain their superior reputation, they've taken advantage of the fact that he wouldn't dare to resist and spread false news to tarnish his image while boosting their own.

"Did you really think I wouldn't resist?" Gu Lan'an tapped on the screen with her hand and thought for a moment before writing, "Declaration: I refuse to sign with Emperor Entertainment not because of any personal misconduct but because I don't agree with their contract terms. I haven't relied on anyone to rise to where I am today. I believe in relying on myself. Also, I have no intention of quitting the entertainment industry. Thank you for your concern. I will inform you all immediately once I have signed with a company."

After posting, Gu Lan'an searched for the account of the top paparazzo and sent him a private message, saying, "I am Gu Lan'an, the only son of Gu Fusheng from Heng'an Group." Once everything was done, Gu Lan'an logged out of Weibo and lay down on the bed to rest.

If, as expected, today and tomorrow's headlines will be all about him, the netizens will have divided opinions on him. Some will praise him for daring to step forward, while others will criticize him for taking advantage of being Gu Fu Sheng's son and acting recklessly without seeking improvement, wanting to reach the top by taking shortcuts. However, what does all this have to do with him? This time, he will proactively reveal his identity, just to pave the way for himself in the future and make his path smoother. Posting that Weibo is just a way to establish authority and show those who he is about to approach after entering the entertainment circle that he is not someone they can easily mess with.

"Who told you to meddle in other people's business? Without signing a person, at most it would have been a matter that can be brushed aside after a few days of barking from netizens online. Now, because of your meddling, it has blown up, right? Abandoning it, are you thinking of quitting?" Lin Xuan threw his phone in front of Fuping, fuming with anger. He had only gone to Zhaoye in the morning, pleading for him to accompany him somewhere to have fun. When he came back, he heard from his secretary that Fuping had offended the Crown Prince of Hengan. He couldn't help but feel extremely infuriated.

"No, I just wanted to restore the reputation of 'Di Yu'," he explained, trying to smooth things over. "Besides, I didn't know his identity at the time, and even after investigating, I couldn't find any information. So, I figured that he wouldn't dare speak up, which is why I took action."
