Movie Emperor Fu Yanting hired an assistant.
What is an assistant? According to Baidu, an assistant is someone who helps manage things.
So what does a celebrity assistant do?
Besides the official job description, here are the core requirements, including but not limited to:
You can't be too good-looking, or you'll steal the spotlight from your boss.
You can't have opinions of your own. Whatever the boss says goes. Your only job is to obey without question.
You can't meddle in your boss's private life. You have to report what you do to your boss, but what your boss does... is none of your business.
You can't contact fans privately to tell them anything about your boss, personal or professional. You'll lose your job and might even get sued.
You can't take time off whenever you want. Even if your boss is on vacation, you have to be ready to answer the call at any time.
Bonus skills: cleaning, cooking, taking and editing photos, martial arts (with proper sportsmanship), anti-surveillance skills, disguise and makeup, and skillful driving of all kinds of vehicles.
...And so on.
In short, an assistant is a full-time, on-call, do-everything employee who simply carries out orders and never has an opinion of their own.
But Fu's assistant is... pretty rebellious.
First, he's far too handsome. Calling him stunning wouldn't be an exaggeration.
It's reasonable to suspect he became an assistant instead of a star because he has some ulterior motive.
Second, he has way too many opinions. For example:
[High School Daughter Drops Out to Support Her Adoptive Mother: Executive Father Hasn't Paid Child Support in 16 Years, Impoverished Mother Kneels for Help]
99% of netizens condemn the father as a scumbag and donate to help.
The other 1% ask: Has this mother lost her ability to work? Why should her daughter drop out of school to support her?
The little assistant rushes to check out the drama and likes the post, siding with the 1%... using Movie Emperor Fu's account.
Netizens: The famous actor Fu Yanting likes a post supporting a scumbag father. Another example of the entertainment industry's cold indifference.
His fans tearfully abandon him, saying they loved the wrong person and that all men are trash.
Fu Yanting: ???
And then there's this:
[Top Actress Lin Yuqing Ends 10-Year Marriage, B-List Husband Qin Guan Cheats with Rising Traffic Darling]
99% of netizens: We feel for our goddess. Don't cry, goddess! The cheating scumbag should die!
The other 1%: Since when has Lin Yuqing been a top-tier star?
The rebellious little assistant likes the post at lightning speed, securing the number-one trending spot... using Movie Emperor Fu's account again.
Netizens: Movie Emperor Fu Yanting is dating and cheating. The entertainment industry is such a mess.
Fu Yanting: ???
And another example:
[Fu Yanting's New Drama Brings Him Together with Rising Starlet, Pair Spotted Returning to Their Love Nest Late at Night]
Fans: Fake news! Fake news! The starlet should die! She isn't worthy of him! We'll say it a million times!
Netizens: Fu Yanting? Isn't he gay?
The rebellious little assistant... had his account confiscated. All he could do was sigh pitifully.
Fu Yanting: ...
Fu Yanting: Which post? I'll like it myself.
Little assistant, standing at attention: Boss, I'm your new assistant.
Fu Yanting, smiling: No, you're my newly adopted ancestor.
No real-life inspirations. Everything I know about the entertainment industry comes from my imagination.
Theme: Boss, I'm really just an assistant.
