After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.

Chapter 240 Do we even care about our family's reputation anymore?

While Ye Zheng was still talking, Ye Feihua had already taken out her phone and started taking pictures of the dishes.

Seeing this, Song Taotao wanted to follow suit, but Ye Feifan held her hand down.

She felt somewhat unhappy. What kind of man was he? He thought that just because he was the eldest grandson, he would have some status in the family, but he ended up being scolded by his younger brother until he couldn't even utter a sound.

That's one thing, after all, Ye Jin'er is quite wealthy and notoriously difficult to deal with. Ye Feihua's younger sister is not very rich, yet she's acting so arrogantly.

She just wanted to take pictures. Who doesn't take pictures of their New Year's Eve dinner and post them on social media? Is Ye Feihua the only one who can take pictures?

Ye Feifan had his reasons for stopping her, because Ye Zheng was furious the next second.

"Ye Feihua, have you no manners?!"

"Ha, it's impolite to let these dishes get cold."

Ye Feihua casually remarked, and even prepared to start eating.

If Ye Zheng finishes speaking, the fish will become fishy!

She wouldn't have come back for the New Year if she hadn't missed the taste of her hometown! Who wants to see Ye Zheng and Ye Hai's faces!

"Grandpa, I'm hungry."

Ye Jin'er spoke at the opportune moment.

It seems that his grandson's words had some effect. Ye Zheng could only say a few words and then pick up his chopsticks.

So everyone picked up... their phones.

Song Taotao was right; who doesn't take pictures of their New Year's Eve dinner?

Although Ye Sanqing was unaware of this custom, it wasn't the first time she had done something like "when in Rome, do as the Romans do," so she casually took a couple of photos and posted them.

After the photoshoot, she focused on eating. The elders chatted for a few minutes, exchanging some perfunctory compliments, before the conversation suddenly fell into an awkward silence.

Because this is usually where the kids in the family start comparing themselves...

However, their situations are obvious to all, and there's no need to bring them up. Even Ye Tian doesn't really want to go through this part.

After all, it's not something to be proud of for his daughter to be better than him.

Neither Ye Jianghe nor Ye Xi were married, so they naturally wouldn't participate in this kind of topic.

Ye Hai didn't have much to say. At most, he could praise Ye Yifan for being promising, but did he even have the right to praise him?

Suddenly, the dinner table became a scene where only Song Taotao and Ye Wanyin were whispering to their respective men.

However, the necessary procedures still had to be followed, and Wei Yunmei began to inquire about the marital and romantic relationships of the group.

Of course, we should start with Ye Sanqing.

"Sanqing, you have a boyfriend now, why don't you bring him home to meet us? Look, Wanwan brought him home."

She spoke very kindly, as if she genuinely cared about Ye Sanqing.

Upon hearing this, Lu Wangqian secretly felt smug. What kind of crazy woman talks about love!

"Just because you are my grandmother doesn't mean you can spread rumors."

Ye Sanqing paused for a moment, then raised his head from among the crabs and spoke.

"How can you talk to your grandma like that! Grandma is just worried about you!" Wei Yunmei frowned and looked at Ye Tian.

Ye Tian didn't say anything either; he suddenly started peeling shrimp.

During this time, Ye Tian learned a little about the situation. He could act like a father, but he had to bear the consequences of Ye Yifan's displeasure.

Moreover, he still subconsciously avoids making paternalistic remarks in front of his father...

"Grandma, don't talk about things that are just rumors."

Ye Yifan spoke calmly.

"Still making baseless accusations? Do you think we didn't see the trending topics?" Ye Feifan suddenly got excited. "We were eating and living together just two days ago...tsk tsk, I don't know who brought this up. They can do something like this. Don't they care about our family's reputation?"

"Song Taotao, which company do you work for?"

Ye Jin'er suddenly interjected at this moment.

"Uh, I..." Song Taotao didn't realize why she was suddenly asked this, but after thinking for a moment, she still answered, "Honey Planet."

She didn't even notice why Ye Jin'er knew her full name.

"Your company..." Ye Jin'er said meaningfully, "Isn't it the best at hype? A small company, but a huge amount of hype."

Song Taotao was stunned. How did he know so much?

Although she's a food vlogger, she gained popularity for her energetic and sweet personality. She knows the company is promoting her, but that's mostly done in the looks or entertainment sections, not her. Or rather... she doesn't think it's a publicity stunt.

She didn't say anything, but Ye Feifan suddenly became anxious, "What do you mean?"

"I'm just curious, I wonder if that incident from two years ago was just a publicity stunt?"

Ye Jin'er smiled.

His ten years online weren't for nothing... no, actually it's because he actually knows the owner of Honey Planet. He knows the owner's style very well. It's the style of quick hype and making quick money. The internet celebrities under his company all have a fixed template, like an assembly line.

Then, as soon as it stops making money, it is immediately optimized, so it has always maintained a relatively small and stable scale.

Although we weren't particularly close, we still overheard each other chatting when we met in social situations.

Take Song Taotao for example. She's a big streamer, but she used to teach makeup in the lifestyle section.

The result was a complete failure because her appearance is not fashionable at all now, and female viewers today don't really like this kind of makeup style.

Then, somehow, the other person got together with a game streamer and they spent a considerable amount of time having couple video chats.

Game streamers were beyond Ye Jin'er's knowledge. That guy was a bit of a simpleton; he entered the e-sports circle after finishing junior high school, made a fortune, then injured his hand and retired to make game videos. He was quite famous, mainly because he was in the right place at the right time.

Back then, they seemed to post a lot of things like "The sweetest couple on the internet playing xxx together," "Esports player carrying his girlfriend to victory... and what happened next?" and "What's it like to hold hands with your girlfriend the whole time while playing xxx?"

Ye Jin'er, whose mind is only on games, rolled her eyes when she occasionally came across this kind of video.

Couples and such will only interrupt his spellcasting progress!

Then, as expected, their relationship ended, but the accumulated views of the video remained. Song Taotao said she was heartbroken after the breakup and disappeared for a while. When she came back, she had undergone plastic surgery and transformed into a food vlogger.

Then, she used the breakup as a publicity stunt, often posting things like, "This is what I used to want to make for him the most... It's a pity I've learned it, but he's no longer by my side."

Emo food videos like "On the xxxth day after the breakup, I learned how to eat what he wanted most..."

Since these couple videos, where the woman is more attractive than the man, usually attract envy from male viewers, many otaku dream of playing games with a cute and gentle girl!

If she continues to act so dejected, even more people will want to comfort her. Therefore, this whole strategy has solidified Song Taotao's fan base.

Because she had undergone plastic surgery, Ye Jin'er couldn't immediately connect her face with this story.

Actually, this is a familiar tactic: forming couples, having each pair up and manipulate fans, and then purifying their respective fanbases... Honey Planet is particularly adept at this, having produced several wildly popular cases like this.

If there's an agreement, then it doesn't matter, since people sometimes eat things even when they know they're made with industrial saccharin.

Unfortunately, Ye Jin'er knew that the game streamer was truly in love; they had already bought a wedding house and were preparing to propose.

He wailed for a long time after being dumped, but then he got hooked again after seeing Song Taotao's food videos.

So, what's the story behind Song Taotao showing up here today?

Ye Jin'er felt sorry for Ye Feifan. Sigh, being blind and not so bright, life is bound to have many setbacks~
