"Who said that you can slander my talent in front of me?" Zhu Junze interrupted with a sharp remark, which made Bi Hexian's body stiff all over.

He didn't expect Mr. Zhu Junze to make a sharp remark at him, even though he was obviously better than Yunyu, "Mr. Zhu, what I'm saying is… you need to find a better talent. Obviously, Mr. Zhu has good eyes, right?"

"…"

"Well, I assume Mr. Zhu Junze knows a great talent. Bai Yunyu will only bring you a financial loss, Mr. Zhu. Trust me, you should pick someone better, liiikeee… me, of course," Bi Hexian advertised himself in front of Bai Yunyu without a shame. He hated Bai Yunyu so much for snatching the role as Bai Shijue.

They auditioned together, and Bi Hexian thought he could really get it without problem until Bai Yunyu suddenly came out of nowhere and snatched the role in one try. 

So he had animosity toward this kid because Bi Hexian was an acting major in university. Of course, he couldn't be beaten by a random dropout. 

"What's your name again?" Zhu Junze asked.

Bai Yunyu looked at Junze silently, hoping that Junze wouldn't take any word from this snake. 

"Ah, my name is Bi Hexian," Bi Hexian smiled confidently. "Or you can refer me by my stage name, Bi He."

[Bi He?! Wait— how could I be so slow?! Of course, it's Bi He from the third world who's the snake that always ruins my mission and life!]

"Bi He, huh…." Zhu Junze sneered, mocking the name and said, "Just like your name, you're spitting venom right now. I do not need a snake that might bite me in the future, so I'd rather keep Bai Yunyu close by my side. You can turn around and fuck off now."

[Ohhh damn, emotional damaaage!]

Bai Yunyu was holding his laughter when Bi He's face flushed out of shame. He looked speechless because he really thought that he was irresistible. Since he got approval from Han Ye Gege, he knew that he was very talented and valuable.

But why wasn't Mr. Zhu Junze interested in him like Han Ye Gege did?

"What is the commotion going in here?" 

Everyone's eyes suddenly directed towards the man who had just entered the restaurant and barged in. Luckily, this was an upscale, expensive restaurant, so it was still pretty empty, especially in the middle of the day. 

The handsome man walked and barged in with them, standing beside Bi He, "I heard that Mr. Zhu is calling Bi He as venomous. You know that's not really pleasant to say, right?"

Zhu Junze got up from the chair and stared at Han Ye right in the eyes. He had animosity towards this man, a lot of animosities, actually. Because Yunyu chose this man instead of him, he knew that Han Ye wasn't a good person.

In fact, Han Ye was far from good. Just because he has a face of a god, it blinded everyone with his handsomeness and exempted all his cold and bad deeds.

Including Yunyu, Junze bet that Yunyu fell in love with this guy because of his handsome face. 

"This man suddenly came to my seat with Bai Yunyu and then started spouting some bullshit to slander my partner. Do you think I will just accept that?" Zhu Junze challenged.

"Partner?" Han Ye looked surprised. He darted his eyes at Bai Yunyu, and Yunyu lowered his head instantly, neither denying nor confirming. Han Ye's gaze returned at Zhu Junze and asked, "Mr. Zhu is willing to be a sponsor of this thing? Do you know his history? Do you know how much a burden he is?"

Bai Yunyu lowered his head, but he didn't try to deny it. He was used to such words. In fact, that was light enough compared to the ones Han Ye Gege said in private. 

[It's fine, I got used to it anyway.]

[But still… in front of Zhu Junze…]

But not with Zhu Junze. The moment he saw the sadness in Yunyu's face, he clenched his fist and grabbed Han Ye's collar.

Han Ye didn't react much when he was facing Zhu Junze. In fact, he had a little smirk on his face as if he had achieved something.

He glanced at Yunyu, who looked so ashamed and sad, and he was satisfied.

"Listen here, you bastard. I can beat the fuck out of you if I want. But I decided not to because Yun'er loves you so much," Junze said. "You should be grateful of him."

"Grateful of what, exactly? I didn't ask him to fall in love with me. Sounds like someone who doesn't know his place," Han Ye smirked as he taunted Zhu Junze. "And you happen to have a small nickname for him, huh? So romantically stupid."

"You!"

"Ze'er!" Yunyu finally got up and grabbed Zhu Junze's arm. "P—Please, don't do something rash! I'm alright, please just—just ignore everything!"

"How could I—"

"Even this thing has a nickname for you, hm? I have big respect for Mr. Zhu, but it seems that Mr. Zhu doesn't know how to select a good toy."

"TOY?!"

"Yeah, do you really think that he is worthy of appreciation and your sincerity? Don't kid me," Han Ye said.

Bai Yunyu knew that Han Ye Gege just wanted to taunt Mr. Zhu Junze until he lost control. By the look of Junze right now, he was only one snap away from beating the hell out of Han Ye.

And Yunyu didn't want that. He didn't want to see Han Ye Gege get hurt. So he hugged Zhu Junze from behind and said, "Ze'er, please just ignore him. I will… I will give you anything as long as you release him…."

Zhu Junze and Bi He were shocked by what Yunyu said, but Han Ye only grinned in satisfaction, "I told you, that thing doesn't deserve your seriousness. You shouldn't even think of using him, Mr.. Zhu, he is filthy."
