At that time, the internet was not very developed, and most people only believed what they saw on TV.

No one paid attention to the clarification I posted online. Whenever I appeared in public, reporters always asked me about the scandals.

How many people longed for fame at a young age, and how many could bear the consequences.

The cameras from all directions surrounded me tightly. I repeated over and over again that I was framed, my throat became hoarse, but no one believed me.

They only cared about grabbing the latest headlines, whether the harvest was successful, and whether the wife and the mistress had a fight.

As for the truth, it no longer mattered.

I was afraid to sleep every day. Every time I logged on to social media, I would receive pictures of people mocking me.

The company terminated my contract, citing my poor state and behavior. Mengjie also resolutely followed me.

For so many years, Mengjie accompanied me out of the shadows and worked hard for my comeback.

As if afraid that I would get lost in my memories, she quickly took away my phone: "I didn't mean to expose your scars."

"I just want you to know that if you have made up your mind to return to the public eye, you have to accept everything."

"Enjoying the benefits of popularity will inevitably attract people who criticize you."

Mengjie began analyzing the benefits of being in a contract relationship with Pei Yu.

In the era where popularity is king, popular stars who rely on fans to make a living will face backlash for any small mistake.

Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. Therefore, most of the stars who date during their career's rise are heavily criticized by fans.

But Pei Yu is different. He is not an idol or a popular actor.

There are so many gaming gods, but Pei Yu, with his talent and appearance, managed to carve his own path.

The Pei family has a large business, and Pei Yu is the youngest. He acts according to his own style and is not afraid of having no way out.

In short, Mengjie's meaning is: if you want to gain popularity, you will face criticism, but gaining popularity through Pei Yu can reduce the amount of criticism you receive.

She said so much that it took me a while to digest.

Mengjie patted my shoulder and made a cheering gesture: "Times have changed. Without popularity, what do you have to compete with others?"

"Establishing a good relationship with Pei Yu means that all of the resources of the Pei family will be yours in the future. I talked to Pei Jing, and he has a pretty good impression of you and agrees to do this."

"Just give it a try. Trust me, everything will be better."

At this point, Mengjie had already promised others on my behalf, and I had no chance to back out.

So, with the determination to face death, I closed my eyes and nodded heavily.

Seeing that I agreed, Mengjie excitedly snapped her fingers and put the phone to her ear: "Hello, get the car ready. We're leaving."

In anticipation of my agreement, Mengjie had already arranged for a car outside.

It was still dark, and she took me to negotiate with Pei Yu.

I had slept for less than 4 hours, feeling drowsy, and I didn't even know when we arrived.

The training base where Pei Yu was located was quite large, with bright lights.

The receptionist took us to the fifth floor, where his team manager was waiting for us at the door.

I looked at my phone. It was 5:15 a.m. At this time, Pei Yu was still training. Don't they need to sleep?

After a while, the manager invited us in.

Pushing open the door, I heard Pei Yu's energetic voice: "Have you all not eaten? Can we play?"
