Fan Tianze swallowed and subconsciously changed the subject, but he refused to let Jiang Yiqing read his fortune. He kept intentionally saying pointless things.

Jiang Yiqing frowned. What exactly was this guy trying to do?

Barrage:

"Why's the host looking so grumpy? Does he think he's all that just because he has a bit of fame?"

"Our Xiao Ze is so polite, and he's still being so aggressive. Ridiculous."

"Seriously, who are all these people suddenly appearing in the livestream? Hahaha, don't say I didn't warn you, if you're going to badmouth Master Jiang, you better check online first, or you'll regret it later."

"Master Jiang is so amazing, what is Fan Tianze doing?"

"I didn't even say anything, but the host was already in a bad mood..."

"Hahaha, I thought he was tough, but now he's suddenly so weak?"

"Probably went online and came back, hahaha."

Jiang Yiqing watched as Fan Tianze kept switching topics, completely draining his patience. "Since you say you know me, you should know that everyone who connects to me here is here for a fortune reading. If you don't need one, I'll disconnect."

Fan Tianze finally stopped changing the subject when he heard this. "Master Jiang, I'm really your fan. I just wanted to talk to you. Isn't that okay?"

Tch, what a shady character. Jiang Yiqing almost couldn't stop himself from rolling his eyes.

Barrage:

"Xiao Ze is so pitiful. He really admires the host, but he doesn't understand why the host keeps trying to kick him out!"

"You people are too much. We're here for fortune telling! I just want to watch the fortune telling, okay?"

"Qingqing, look at me, I figured it out! This Fan Tianze is a soon-to-debut little celebrity. He's just here to ride on the hype!"

"Haha, looks like Qingqing is really popular now, even the fame-seekers are showing up."

"Can the fame-seekers leave already? Master Jiang's warned you several times!"

Fan Tianze's face darkened when he saw that comment, and he couldn't hold back from retorting, "Master Jiang hasn't even said anything, and you're sticking your nose in where it doesn't belong."

After he said that, he saw Jiang Yiqing's face turn cold. Was he really going to let his fans curse him in his livestream? Wasn't he embarrassed?

"They mean what I mean." Jiang Yiqing smiled, his eyes narrowed. "If you leave now, I'll just pretend nothing happened."

Fan Tianze felt that Jiang Yiqing's smile was somehow more terrifying than when his face was cold earlier. He swallowed nervously, feeling afraid. But when he thought about how hard it would be for him to secure a debut position with his current fame, he had no choice but to gamble. He hoped this would boost his popularity and help him debut smoothly.

If he lost the gamble, well, at least he wouldn't debut. It didn't seem like much of a loss.

Fan Tianze's face stiffened as he said, "Master Jiang, I've already given you the fortune-telling fee, right?"

"So you're not leaving now?" Jiang Yiqing leaned back slightly in his chair. "This is easy. You already paid the fee, so I'll give you a reading."

"You wanted the attention, right? How about I give you a reading that'll get you trending?" Jiang Yiqing said slowly.

Fan Tianze looked at Jiang Yiqing's expression and suddenly felt guilty. He hurriedly said, "I was just joking. I don't need the reading."

"Don't." Jiang Yiqing's tone turned serious. "You might not want a reading, but I keep my word. You've already paid, and the karma is set. You've already agreed to let me give you a fortune reading, so there's no backing out now."

Jiang Yiqing wasn't the type to have a good temper. When he was angry, he made sure to let it out.

Before the video call, Fan Tianze didn't know much about Jiang Yiqing.

He was an artist from Kiwi Entertainment and was currently participating in the variety show "Debut Tomorrow."

"Debut Tomorrow" was a type of idol competition reality show. To put it simply, hundreds of idols were competing together, with a portion being eliminated each episode. In the end, the remaining few idols who secured a debut spot would successfully debut.

Fan Tianze had good luck and always managed to stay on the borderline of advancement. Many people thought he would be eliminated soon, but unexpectedly, he made it all the way to the final popularity voting round.

Now, there were a total of twenty participants, but only nine debut spots, so audience votes determined who would make it. Naturally, those with higher popularity would get a spot.

Fan Tianze's popularity was average. Among the contestants, some had much higher popularity, while others had connections that guaranteed them a debut spot.

As for Fan Tianze, he had neither the popularity nor the connections.

It seemed almost certain that he wouldn't debut, but Fan Tianze wasn't willing to give up. He had worked so hard to get this far. He didn't think he was any worse looking than the others, nor was his talent inferior. Why wasn't he the one debuting?

Fan Tianze started racking his brain, trying to come up with a way. Finding connections seemed impossible, so he could only figure out how to quickly boost his popularity.

Soon, someone suggested an idea. Since he had no heat of his own, he could ride on someone else's. Though this wasn't exactly the most ethical approach, it was something that happened often in the entertainment industry. If he did it right, his popularity could skyrocket.

So recently, Fan Tianze started his crazy quest for fame, and the easiest targets were his own teammates. To maintain the peace, these teammates, even though dissatisfied with his actions, had no choice but to tolerate it.

Through these methods, Fan Tianze's popularity did increase, but it wasn't enough. It still wasn't enough to secure a debut.

As for the popularity within his team, he had already done everything he could, but other celebrities were out of reach for him—he really had no connections with them.

So Fan Tianze turned his attention to internet celebrities. Though he was a star, he hadn't debuted yet, and his popularity was low. In fact, some internet celebrities were actually more famous than him.

Before long, Fan Tianze set his sights on Jiang Yiqing. His heat was the easiest to tap into because he livestreamed every day.

As for fortune telling, Fan Tianze wasn't clear on how skilled Jiang Yiqing was. After all, he was so focused on whether he could debut that he didn't care much about anything else.

But he had a vague idea that Jiang Yiqing was pretty good at fortune telling.
