“What are you looking at?” In the student dormitory, the roommate look over curiously.

“I’m looking at Big Mouth King’s review. Isn’t the new drink from the Shen’s Food company very popular on the internet? I wanted to see what the review bloggers have to say.”

“Some say it’s addictive, while some say they can’t even take a sip. The polarization is quite serious. Let me take a look.”

“But no matter what the results are, I’m going to buy a bottle to try.”

“Then let’s go together after the evening self-study session.”

The testing video officially began. A blogger with a Sichuan accent appeared in front of the camera. “Friends, this is the drink that I’m going to try today. Let me have a taste of what’s so popular.”

After he finished speaking, he opened a bottle and drank half a bottle. He first frowned, then relaxed. “Still okay? At first, the smell was a little strange, and I can’t really describe it.”

Then, he took another sip. “There’s a Chinese medicine taste in it. It says that it has the effect of reducing internal heat. I can’t tell the effect for now, but the more I drink, the more I feel that it’s getting good.”

After saying that, he changed the scene. “But there is a heated debate on whether it’s good or not on the internet, so it doesn’t count if I drink it alone. I bought a box today, and our entire team will try it for everyone.”

The two students watched nervously. Then, they saw that out of the ten people in the team who tried the drink at the same time, six of them actually spat out the first mouthful, indicating that the taste was really strange and they did not want to drink a second mouthful.

Then, there was another one who expressed that it was acceptable, but it was not particularly delicious.

As for the remaining three, at first, they felt that the drink was pretty ordinary, but they slowly accepted it. Then, the more they drank, the better it tasted. They began to strongly recommend the drink.

In the end, the blogger, Big Mouth King, made a conclusion. This drink was really fascinating. No review would be useful. One had to try it himself.

The two roommates looked at each other. It seemed that the evaluation this time was kind of useless, but it had indeed aroused their curiosity.

Because of the publicity by the big bloggers, the interesting taste of the drink, and of course, Song Qianming’s advertisement, the drink was selling like crazy.

The biggest beneficiary of the explosive sales was naturally Song Qianming. After all, he was just a nameless star before this. Now, he was known to the public because of a drink.

However, at the same time, there were more and more doubts. Most of them were wondering how he, who didn’t have many works, got the endorsement.

“What are you doing?” Yuan Fei frowned at Zhong Boyi.

Zhong Boyi put down his phone and said indignantly, “I just can’t stand him being so smug now. I don’t want those netizens to be deceived.”

“It’s just an endorsement, why are you so jealous? Do you know how much of an impact it would have on our team if it was revealed that you were the one behind all these comments?”

“I’m not using my own account.”

“I don’t care what account you’re using, stop what you’re doing immediately.” Yuan Fei glared at him coldly. “Otherwise, don’t blame me for being merciless.”

Although Zhong Boyi was unwilling, he couldn’t refute it. Who asked Yuan Fei’s father to own the company’s shares?

Yuan Fei opened the door and was about to leave when he paused. “Song Qqianming doesn’t have any works. Even if he tried his best to get this endorsement, he won’t be famous for long. Let’s use our abilities to speak. We will definitely be better than him in the future.”

After he left, Ji Tong walked out from the corner. With an innocent face, he sighed and said, “Of course he doesn’t care about an endorsement deal. After all, he’s the son of a major shareholder. His family is rich, and even our team is made to only support him.”

“What are you trying to say?” Zhong Boyi’s slowly clenched his fists.

“What can I say? I’m just feeling sad for ourselves. What’s the point of training so hard every day? Every time there’s an event, it’s always Yuan Fei who’s in the center spot. Even if we become famous in the future, everyone will probably think that he’s the one who brought us to fame. If we don’t become famous, it’ll be even worse. His fans will only attack us for dragging him down.”

Then he laughed bitterly. “But if we really become famous, even if our status is not as high as his, I’m okay with it. I’m just afraid that if we don’t become famous, we will be abandoned and Yuan Fei will go solo. Then what will our training for the past few years be for?”

“I won’t be used by him like this.” Zhong Boyi’s eyes were red with anger.

Ji Tong patted him. “Being used by him proves that we still have some value. Don’t think too much. We just have to be careful in the future and don’t get into any conflicts with him again. Sigh, who asked us to sign with the company for so many years? We have no choice but to accept our fate! Speaking of which, Song Qianming was still the most decisive. Look at how he can develop so well just by himself. The endorsement fee that Shen’s Food gave him must be quite high. If only we could get such an advertisement one day.”

“Even if we get such an advertisement, Yuan Fei will still get the most of the advertising fees,” Zhong Boyi said in a choked voice.

“He’s the captain and has the most fans.”

“He’s the captain because his father is a shareholder. Who knows if the company bought more fans for him? If it’s solely based on strength, he’s not stronger than any of us.”

“I’m fine with it. Captain can dance better than me, but it’s a pity for you, brother Boyi. With your singing skills, I think you can even enter the major competitions. Once you become popular, you won’t have to worry about terminating your contract. Those big companies will definitely be willing to pay for your expenses.” Ji Tong’s face was full of regret for him.

When Zhong Boyi heard this, he felt more and more that it was a waste of time for him to continue working in this company’s team. When he was in school, his music teacher had always said that he sang very well. He was discovered by the company during the campus singing competition. Later, when the team was established, he became the lead singer directly. He thought that he would become famous quickly, but now he was already 25 years old, and the company still had no intention of making him famous.

Although there were more jobs recently and they even went to two variety shows, the only one who was performing in those shows was always Yuan Fei. After editing, he only had two lines in one episode. If this continued, when would he become famous?

He was the lead singer, and singing was his advantage. Yet, he was not allowed to sing during the program. Wasn’t it because the company wanted to suppress him to give priority to Yuan Fei?

No, he couldn’t just stay silent like this. He didn’t want to stay in this disgusting team for another day.

Ji Tong looked at Zhong Boyi’s changing expression and lowered his head with a smile. This guy is so impulsive. But this is good. At least he’s easier to manipulate than Su Liang, that cold man.
