Under the spotlight, amidst the cheers of the crowd, Su Xingchen calmly gazed at the sea of people below, feeling not a single ripple in his heart, as if all of this had nothing to do with him.
"You don't look excited at all?" The incredulous voice of his manager rang in his ears. In the next moment, Su Xingchen was pushed toward the center of the stage by a throng of people, flashes from cameras going off wildly, the blinding light making it almost impossible for him to open his eyes.
"After all, this grand spectacle..." He smiled slightly, slowly raising his right hand towards the camera, his palm facing it as he made a pause gesture. "It's just a well-arranged show."
The audience fell silent in an instant, and the live stream chat froze for a second before erupting into screams loud enough to shake the broadcasting studio—
"Ahhh! He just sent me a heart! It's such a thrilling feeling!"
The piercing screams made Su Xingchen's eardrums buzz, but he paid no mind, still wearing that playful smile on his lips.
In the backstage lounge, manager Lin Xi slammed his hand on the table, angrily shouting into the phone, "Are you crazy?! Who gave you the guts to do something like this during a live broadcast?!"
Su Xingchen remained unfazed, walking straight to the sofa, elegantly crossing his legs. He casually picked up a bottle of mineral water from the table, slowly unscrewing the cap and taking a light sip.
"Su Xingchen! Are you even listening to me?!" Lin Xi's voice trembled slightly with anger. "Do you know what consequences this will have?! The company has spent so much money to promote you, and now you want to ruin all that effort with just one 'well-arranged show'?!"
Su Xingchen set down the water bottle and looked up at Lin Xi with calm eyes. "So this is the script you've arranged for me? A puppet at others' mercy, a marionette that can only smile foolishly at the camera?"
He scoffed lightly, his tone laced with sarcasm. "Manager Lin, you really underestimate me, Su Xingchen."
Lin Xi felt a jolt in his heart at Su Xingchen's gaze. He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
Meanwhile, at the top floor of a skyscraper high above the city lights, Ye Qingtian sat by a large floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the dazzling brilliance of the city below.
He held a glass of red wine in his hand; the crimson liquid refracted an enchanting glow under the lights, mirroring his current mood.
"Interesting, truly interesting..." He looked at the handsome face of Su Xingchen on the screen, a playful smile curling at the corners of his mouth. "It seems I've struck gold this time."
He put down his wine glass, picked up the phone on the table, and dialed a number. "Notify everyone to increase the publicity for Su Xingchen. I want him to become the brightest star in the entire industry..."
The "suspension" incident continued to escalate, quickly topping the trending charts on major platforms and sparking heated discussions among netizens.
Some questioned whether Su Xingchen was just seeking publicity, while others were drawn to his unconventional attitude, believing he dared to challenge the rules and was a breath of fresh air in the entertainment industry.
"Who is Su Xingchen? Never heard of him. Is he a newcomer? Acting so arrogant, he probably doesn't want to survive in the entertainment circle anymore."
"Are you out of touch? Su Xingchen is currently the hottest rising star, with both looks and acting skills on point. I've heard his background is impressive too!"
"Whether it's publicity or not, I'm a fan now! It's been too long since we've had such a unique artist in the entertainment industry!"
"Support Xingchen! Be brave and be yourself; don't bow to capital!"
...
The overwhelming comments surged like a tide, pushing Su Xingchen to the forefront of public opinion.
Yet he remained unfazed, continuing his daily routine of attending various events. However, when facing the camera, there was an added layer of intriguing depth in his gaze.

Su Xingchen curled his lips into a cold smile, casually tossing the bottle of mineral water onto the table with a light thud that echoed sharply in the quiet lounge. "Banned? Does Ye Qingtian really think he has everything under control?"
Lin Xi wearily rubbed her forehead, her tone tinged with a hint of helplessness and concern. "Xingchen, I know you're not afraid of him, but the current situation is very unfavorable for us. All endorsements and appearances have been canceled, and there are still a large number of paparazzi lurking outside. You haven't made a public appearance in three days."
A glint of cold light flashed in Su Xingchen's eyes as he stood up and walked to the window, overlooking the traffic below that scurried about like ants. His voice was low and firm. "Don't worry, I anticipated this long ago. If Ye Qingtian wants to play, I'll play along to the end."
The night sky above the city was forever occupied by colorful holographic projections, completely obscuring the original starry sky. Su Xingchen's figure was reflected on the massive virtual billboard, appearing particularly small yet exuding an indescribable sense of oppression.
Lin Xi watched Su Xingchen's silhouette, her heart filled with mixed emotions. She knew that Su Xingchen was not someone who easily gave up, but his opponent was Ye Qingtian, a ruthless figure who wielded immense power in the entertainment industry.
"Xingchen, do you... really have confidence?" Lin Xi's voice trembled slightly as she couldn't bear to imagine the consequences if Su Xingchen were to fail.
