The image on the screen flashed by.
The entertainment gossip blogger’s exposé was finished.
The website automatically loaded the next entertainment video.
It featured a recent big scoop that Gu Zhaosi and his friends were eagerly discussing.
However, at that moment, he had no interest in it whatsoever.
He grabbed his knee, which was still in excruciating pain.
He picked up the remote, and rewound the video to the previous one!
The progress bar quickly moved to the end.
When the photo popped up again, Gu Zhaosi’s face looked as if he had eaten something extremely unpleasant.
Chu Yanze?
Is it really Chu Yanze?
Is he really such a scheming, unscrupulous person?!
Gu Zhaosi felt as though he had been struck by lightning.
After a while, he raised his hand to hold his forehead, feeling like his head was about to explode.
This damn thesis had already occupied what little CPU power he had.
Now the world seemed blurry, full of deceit.
“Is this deliberate?
Is this deliberate?!”
Gu Zhaosi’s mind was a bit disoriented.
Chu Yanze had been someone he competed with in college.
In their specialized field of Asian studies, the number of people in their department was few.
So, these two familiar faces were often compared by others.
Gu Zhaosi had never wanted to compete with him.
They weren’t even close, so what was there to compare?
But who could have known that when they had just started university, Chu Yanze quietly released an album.
It received quite a bit of attention both domestically and internationally, even winning a small award.
There was a lot of attention from the domestic audience for this newcomer, especially attracted by his appearance.
A fan club was quickly formed.
People said that this young man had the potential to make it internationally.
They should protect him and ensure he could create even better works.
While his classmates were still diligently studying and writing papers, he had already achieved such success.
He was a young genius…
No, Gu Zhaosi was also a student.
His smile disappeared at that moment.
The fact that Chu Yanze had won an award or released an album had nothing to do with him.
But why was he being compared?
He was diligently studying was that a crime?
Writing papers every day was hard enough!
Even worse, Chu Yanze’s fans went so far as to dig up the resumes, achievements, and success of his classmates.
And Gu Zhaosi was dragged out as a comparison!
What is this thinking?
What kind of thinking is this?!
Gu Zhaosi was furious.
He just went to class diligently, occasionally taking time to travel, race cars, or ski.
Who did he offend?
There was even a relative in his family, a few years older than him, who was a fan of Chu Yanze.
Who traveled a long distance to call him, just to ask if he knew about his relationship with Chu Yanze.
And if he could get an autographed album from him.
“Zhaosi, you really have to work harder.
Look at your classmates they’ve already achieved so much at your age.
How’s your music going?
Have you released any songs? Let me hear them.”
If there was a ranking of annoying relatives, this fan-sister of Chu Yanze would definitely be at the top, far above Gu Zhaoye and Gu Zhaoping.
For all the relatives of the Gu family, Gu Zhaosi wished he could slap each one of them.
And especially that fan-sister she deserved the 18-dragon palm.
Later, for reasons unknown, Chu Yanze dropped out of school.
Gu Zhaosi maliciously speculated that it was because he had gotten too arrogant and didn’t want to continue his studies.
So he just went back home to make money.
He couldn’t help but sneer.
Shallow and shortsighted someone like you will eventually fail.
He firmly believed that, and he waited for three more years.
…
But Chu Yanze didn’t fail.
He became more and more popular, his achievements growing.
He even became famous overseas.
He had now become a dominant figure in China’s pop music scene.
And he was even a subject of Gu Zhaosi’s research.
He hadn’t even graduated, but he was already considered an excellent alumnus.
Gu Zhaosi felt bitter.
He wasn’t the type to aggressively compete with others.
And he didn’t have any jealousy in him.
But who could have known that as soon as this guy debuted, everyone started comparing him to others?
And relatives kept asking why he hadn’t debuted yet.
Over the years that Chu Yanze was getting popular, Gu Zhaosi felt like he was slowly collapsing every day.
Now, Chu Yanze seemed to have lost his mind and gotten even more arrogant.
He actually started gossiping with his sister!
Gu Zhaosi was furious Gu Zhaoping, Gu Zhaoping, how dare you spread gossip?
You must have gone crazy!
Gu Zhaosi had a relatively equal relationship with all his family members.
Meaning he equally disliked them all.
Especially the brothers and sisters of his generation.
He wished he could block each one of them.
Every day, Gu Zhaoye, not knowing his place, acted as if he had inherited the family business and became a domineering CEO.
Chasing after some first love and following a script of the “grief-stricken” rich family.
Even his older sister, Gu Zhaoping, was the most interesting character in the whole family.
Her history of relationships was rich.
Her behavior was outrageous.
Her personality was fiery, and her thinking was insane.
Sometimes Gu Zhaosi couldn’t help but say he was outclassed.
Of course, he just wanted to keep away from the Gu family.
Hoping no one would ask him about his studies or accomplishments.
If there was funding, he would have done this long ago.
Right now, he was still enduring the burden, bearing the weight.
Chu Yanze, are you going after her?
Are you out of your mind?
That was Gu Zhaosi’s initial thought when he saw the news.
Although his sister had money, was good-looking, and had great potential.
She seemed generous to young men, and had a high level of education did he really think he could chase her?
Gu Zhaosi sat on the sofa, feeling like the world was absurd.
He thought a thousand times about whether Chu Yanze had some ulterior motive.
After all, Gu Zhaoping’s handwriting was so similar to his.
Although he hadn’t publicized that he was from the Gu family when he was at school.
Maybe Chu Yanze wasn’t familiar with him.
But had he somehow figured out their relationship?
Had he decided to pursue his sister, hoping to suppress him?
Gu Zhaosi furrowed his brow, already working out Chu Yanze’s entire thought process.
After punching a pillow for a while, Gu Zhaosi finally took out his phone and contacted his agent: [Bro, maybe we should go back to the domestic market.]
The agent immediately replied, as if waiting for this message: [You’ve finally come around?!]
That’s right, Gu Zhaosi hadn’t been idle these past two years.
He gritted his teeth and endured.
Secretly signing a contract with a record company.
He had already debuted in secret.
He was lucky.
He hadn’t used any connections from the Gu family.
He relied on his education and works to gain recognition from a company.
Which released his album.
His achievements over the past two years weren’t bad.
He had made a name for himself in the domestic market.
Though, to be honest, Gu Zhaosi was a little upset.
He hadn’t appeared on the album cover like Chu Yanze, showing off his sharp jawline.
He had barely received any attention.
At most, his songs had some listeners.
Gu Zhaosi thought to himself that he would keep a low profile in the overseas market.
Wait until he was fully trained.
And then reveal his true face to shock everyone.
He would then buy some marketing and say, “Look at Chu Yanze, he’s so low-key, while I also made achievements during university, but I kept a low profile, unlike Chu Yanze, who got a bit arrogant…”
The idea was beautiful, but reality was urgent.
Gu Zhaosi looked at the reports, one after another, and felt like things were slipping out of his control.
If his sister, Gu Zhaoping, was moved by Chu Yanze and fell for him, what would he do?
Wouldn’t he be done for?
Absolutely done!
He didn’t want to see Chu Yanze in his family!
Gu Zhaosi replied to his agent with a stern face: [Yes, back to the country.]
[And I want to make an appearance.]
He wasn’t going to hide anymore!
You rely on your looks and fame to gain attention what makes you better than me?
Haha, I’m even more low-key than you, and I have a better education!
Chu Yanze, you’re my competitor now!
The quiet domestic market had no idea yet.
They were all excited about the guests’ vlogs.
[We can finally see Chu Yanze’s daily life! He’s usually so mysterious, doesn’t share much, so we can only see his work.]
[Please show us behind the scenes, show us the contrast.]
[What does Ruan Nian usually do? She must be working hard filming and attending classes.
Will President Gu appear? Are they always together privately?]
[In the teaser, he didn’t appear, and the spoilers said that Gu Zhaoye wasn’t actually there for the recording.
Maybe he wasn’t invited at all.]
[So what if he wasn’t invited? Not being invited doesn’t mean their relationship isn’t good.
Stop being so bitter.
Our Gu Nian CP is the most real, true lovers are the best!]
[Uh, am I the only one who really wants to see Gu Zhaoping?]
Once this comment appeared, the whole thread quieted down.
Yes, that’s right.
Aside from the popularity of other people, Gu Zhaoping’s life was the most interesting and eye-catching.
A wealthy young lady, she didn’t work, had no schedule, but was high-profile and had such an extravagant personality.
Who wouldn’t guess what her daily life was like? Would she be spending money like water, shopping around malls and buying luxury goods?
Or would she be traveling the world, staying at the most luxurious hotels, experiencing being a top-tier VIP with private services?
Although the discussions about Gu Zhaoping lately were huge.
It was impossible not to envy and be curious about her lifestyle.
The vlogs of the other guests were released one by one.
Chu Yanze’s day was indeed predictable he was recording songs in the morning, recording in the afternoon, and recording at night.
