In the call.

His former squad leader was startled. "You saw it happen?"

Zhou Xiaohe wiped away his sweat and said: "Yes."

His former squad leader asked anxiously: "Where did you see it?"

Zhou Xiaohe said: "It happened not far away from me."

His former squad leader gasped. "Such masters don't usually show up in the public. How did you manage to coincidentally run into one? What is that martial arts master doing? Teaching others kung fu?"

"No." Zhou Xiaohe stuttered as he related what was happening. From his location, he could see Zhang Ye chase after Yang Shu for several hundred meters: "She's getting chased after by someone who wants to beat her up."

His former squad leader did a spit take. "Ah?"

Zhou Xiaohe found this scene to be very "beautiful."

After about 10 minutes.

Back upstairs.

In Yang Shu's apartment.

The three of them returned here.

Zhang Ye was still scolding fiercely, "You prodigal woman! My wife just bought me a new car and you've already damaged it! Do you know how much it costs to repair it? Do you know how much replacing the glass costs? Huh? How am I going to answer to my wife when I get back! Sit up straight!"

Yang Shu quickly stiffened.

She lowered her head like she was repenting.

Zhang Ye said angrily, "It was only because the uncles and aunties were holding me back. If it weren't for the old neighbors protecting you, I would have killed you to clean up the sect!"

Zhou Xiaohe hurriedly tried to smooth things overs. "Bo—Professor Zhang, don't be angry, don't be angry."

Only then did Zhang Ye look at him. "Hey, what are you still doing here? Didn't I ask you to go back?!"

Zhou Xiaohe was silent.

He thought to himself that it might really be better to leave.

With a martial arts master like this beside him, no one would probably even be able to get close to Professor Zhang. At least in China, which had strict gun control, there shouldn't be a need to worry about the safety of Zhang Ye. However, Zhou Xiaohe was also extremely puzzled. He couldn't understand why a martial arts master like Yang Shu who knew how to use concealed power would want to be Zhang Ye's bodyguard. Wasn't this too degrading? Even if it were those other chief figures he knew, they wouldn't really have a martial arts master as their bodyguard, would they? Further, Professor Zhang even treated her with such a fierce attitude? He could hit her or scold her as he wanted? And why didn't Master Yang retaliate? What did she mean when she addressed him as "Senior"? Could it be that she was also a graduate of Media College? Was she Zhang Ye's junior in broadcasting? Hence, the explanation for her not daring to speak out to Zhang Ye?

Zhou Xiaohe left.

Chenchen came over.

The moment she entered the apartment, Chenchen said excitedly, "Zhang Ye, I heard that your car has been smashed? Who was the hero who did that?"

Zhang Ye glared at her.

Yang Shu hurriedly gave Chenchen a tug.

At the studio.

Everyone also knew about what had happened earlier.

The moment Zhang Ye came over, all of them chipped in to speak up for Yang Shu.

"Director Zhang, don't scold Little Yang anymore."

"Yeah, Yang Shu has always been saying that she wanted to go and break you out from prison for the past few years. If it weren't for Big Sis Rao holding her back, she would probably have done it already. She really cares a lot about you."

"Director Zhang, don't be angry anymore."

"Pass me the keys, I'll go and repair for you."

Zhang Ye's temper had always come and gone very quickly. Moreover, his junior sister had always been rather silly, so what could he do? Zhang Ye waved it off and handed the keys to Little Wang. Then he gathered everyone else to the conference room to discuss their future plans and business.

In the conference room.

Everyone was high-spirited.

"Director Zhang, we've become really popular this time!"

"Yeah, even Teacher Yao has been promoted to the A-list."

"Your popularity has probably been restored by now. No, it must definitely have been restored."

"When are we going to reopen our popularity ranking?"

"The staff from the Chinese Popularity Rankings Index checked in with us again yesterday, asking if we wanted to reopen our ranking. As long as we agree, they can get it back up immediately. Then your latest popularity score will be recalculated and be shown on the rankings index. I feel that the spot of a Heavenly King is definitely within our grasp."

"I think we can possibly do better than the past."

But Zhang Ye just smiled and said, "Let's hold it off til a little later."

Ha Qiqi asked, "You still want to wait? In the Name of the People has finished broadcasting, and we don't have any work left on our schedule, so why are we still not reopening our spot on the rankings index?"

Zhang Zuo said, "I also think now is an opportune time."

Zhang Ye said, "Sister Lan is still in last place on the S-list rankings at the moment. If I were to reopen my spot on the index, what if I really made it into the S-list and caused Sister Lan to drop down to the A-list? I cannot stab her in the back, so let's wait it out. Sister Lan will have a movie premiering soon. Shu Han and Old Yao have a part in it as well. They're really popular right now, so it should be able to give a boost to Sister Lan's new movie. When Sister Lan's spot on the S-list has stabilized, it still won't be too late for us to reopen our spot on the index."

Wu Yi said with a sigh, "There's really no one as loyal as you in showbiz nowadays."

Ha Qiqi smiled and said, "Alright, it won't take more than a few days anyway."

Zhang Ye said, "Furthermore, restoring our popularity is only the beginning of our comeback. Surely we don't want to stand still in our original position, do we? Surely we don't want to stay in the same spot as before, do we?" He chuckled and said, "I've already thought about it. Our next step will have to be getting to the top of the domestic entertainment circle."

Everyone was startled!

"Ah?"

"You want to reach the summit of the domestic entertainment circle?"

"You want to be the number one person in the popularity rankings?"

The number one person in the country!

The number one person in the entertainment industry!

That was the highest position in the Chinese entertainment industry!

In the Chinese popularity rankings, there were still just seven spots in the S-list. To an ordinary celebrity, reaching the S-list was equivalent to getting to the top. This was the summit of the entertainment circle to them. However, only those who had reached this position would know that there were still differences between the statuses of the Heavenly Kings and Queens. Those seven positions at the top of the entertainment circle were still ranked according to the different popularity scores.

Four years ago, Zhang Ye had reached the summit of the Chinese entertainment circle, although he only hovered around sixth or seventh place of the S-list. But compared with Zhang Yuanqi and Xu Meilan, the difference between them was still huge. Four years had since passed, and the entertainment industry had gone through turbulent changes. Zhang Yuanqi had retired, while Xu Meilan had dropped to seventh place on the list. The remaining former Heavenly Kings and Queens had all dropped off from the S-list rankings as they got replaced by the current crop of male idols. Zhang Ye felt that he had to take down this top spot of the entertainment circle no matter what since that was the most coveted spot in the Chinese entertainment circle.

Ha Qiqi asked, "I have confidence that we can regain the throne of a Heavenly King if we were to reopen our spot on the rankings. But to become the number one person with the highest popularity score in the domestic entertainment circle? That'll be really difficult."

Zhang Zuo said, "What's your plan?"

But Zhang Ye answered, "I don't really have a plan."

Tong Fu said, "Then how are we gonna make a charge for the top?"

Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Wait and see."

Wait?

What do you mean by that?

Are you just going to wait for your popularity to increase?

The Heavenly Kings and Queens you'll be facing are all the most popular celebrities of the current era!

But then, they heard Zhang Ye say with a laugh, "Did you guys think that I've just been serving my time in prison for the past three to four years? Actually, this bro hasn't been idle. I've done something that might be able to boost my popularity score. Haha, I guess you'll find out in a few days."

Everyone looked at one another in confusion.

Did something?

What was it?

What could you have possibly done in prison?
