The Villain Just Want to Be a Slacker [Transmigration]

17

At 7 PM, Gao Shu wrapped up his busy workday.

In just four days, Gao Shu had used his outstanding leadership skills to assemble a professional management team. Today, he brought his new team members to their new office space.

By the end of the day, everyone had gotten to know each other and gained a clear understanding of their roles moving forward.

As they were about to clock out, Gao Shu performed his usual end-of-day PR routine by searching for the latest buzz around Ye Zexi. He immediately noticed a trending tag that had skyrocketed in popularity: #Tang Jing Challenging Ye Zexi for the Center Position#.

Marketing accounts were rushing to repost the news, and the comments section was filled with heated debates between the two fanbases.

Gao Shu frowned slightly as he clicked into the topic.

Two minutes later, he fully grasped the situation.

The keywords "arch-enemies," "former lovers," and "rivals" practically screamed explosive material!

His sharp instincts told him there was plenty of buzz to generate from this!

Recently, Gao Shu had done an in-depth commercial analysis for Ye Zexi, determining that the young master's career was on an excellent trajectory, with a bright future ahead. But there was one issue that couldn't be ignored: Tang Jing.

Though an ex wasn't necessarily a blemish on one's image, there would always be those who'd try to exploit it. If not handled properly, this could lead to a series of problems down the line.

Now that CP fans were handing them an opportunity on a silver platter, Gao Shu knew he had to capitalize on it.

But first, he called Tang Jing's manager.

Five minutes later, having reached a consensus with the other side, Gao Shu hung up and turned to his eager-to-leave colleagues. With a pained smile, he said, "Sorry, everyone, but we're pulling an all-nighter."

At 8 PM, an anonymous post popped up on a well-known entertainment forum:

"Arch-enemies? Former lovers? A thing of the past? Official fan service or heartbreak?"

Main post:

"Solo fans in agony, CP fans in ecstasy.

Is it a clash of titans or a battle between rivals?

A destined confrontation or fated duel?

Tune in to Times Idol for the third performance this Friday night!"

"Haha, this is totally about Ye Zexi and Tang Jing!"

"Are they really teammates now?"

"The official preview is out, it's gotta be legit."

"I just want to know if they were forced together or if the show set it up."

"Where's this 'former lovers' angle coming from? Please stop with the clickbait. Ye Zexi tried to pursue Tang Jing and got rejected, end of story."

"Relax, CP fans, it's just a fun gimmick."

"Wait, are there actually fans shipping Ye Zexi and Tang Jing?"

"I'm a casual viewer, not a shipper, but I gotta admit, they do look pretty good together."

Soon after, a GIF of Ye Zexi and Tang Jing smiling at each other resurfaced.

The stage lights shone brightly, reflecting in Ye Zexi's eyes like starlight as he gazed at Tang Jing.

Tang Jing seemed to notice Ye Zexi's gaze, quickly turning back to smile at him.
