During the live broadcast of the "Little Family" program, netizens saw her performance and perhaps developed a little bit of goodwill towards her.

But now that the live stream is over, once netizens see all the negative information about her, any goodwill they had built up for her on the show will easily vanish.

Ultimately, her usual image is too poor. It's not something that a few days of live streaming can completely change netizens' impression of her.

Yu Xin's strategy of making her famous through controversy might indeed bring her some attention and fame, albeit negatively.

However, it might be somewhat useful for artists who only want to make quick money and don't care about long-term career development.

But she didn't want to make quick money, nor did she want her career to have no future, and she certainly didn't want to ruin her reputation for the sake of making money.

However, she was brought into the industry by Yu Xin.

If it weren't for Yu Xin, she wouldn't have entered this industry, nor would she have discovered her love for acting.

When she first entered the industry, Yu Xin took her to auditions for each film crew.

Yu Xin smiled obsequiously at the producers and investors, and even when they were cold to her, she still shamelessly recommended them.

Yu Xin suffered just as much cold shoulder and disdain as she did.

Sometimes, she encounters unscrupulous investors who bluntly tell Yu Xin that if she sleeps with them, the role will be hers. Yu Xin will directly refuse them, righteously declaring that her artist is a respectable actress, not someone who does that kind of thing.

At that time, Yu Xin also told her that the entertainment industry is very dirty, but they should earn money honestly.

When did Yu Xin become so eager for quick success and instant benefits, thinking that being infamous is also a good thing?

Qin Yuanyao leaned back on the sofa, recalling her time with Yu Xin when she first entered the industry, feeling melancholy.

Although they suffered greatly back then, often without work, she had high hopes for the future, believing that as long as she followed Yu Xin and had Yu Xin by her side, their future would surely shine brightly.

But now that she has more work, she feels lost.

Will their future truly be bright?

...

The variety show "Happy Challenge" was filmed outdoors.

As the name suggests, "Happy Challenge" will mix the regular guests and guest stars into two groups to complete various challenges set by the program team and compete.

Qin Yuanyao participated in the recording of this episode as a guest.

Yu Xin stayed with her on the sidelines, waiting for the recording to officially begin.

Yu Xin nudged her arm, pointed in a certain direction, and whispered to her, "See that person? Xing Yu, the top idol of the boy group who came out of last year's talent show. He's super popular right now, with lots of fans and a huge following. When you're recording the show later, stand next to him as much as possible, that way you'll get more screen time and it'll be less likely for the production team to cut it all out."

Qin Yuanyao glanced at her and asked, "Do you really want me to get more screen time, or do you have other plans?"

Yu Xin smiled meaningfully, "What other plans could I possibly have? Even if I did have other plans, wouldn't they all be for your own good?"

"Top-tier fans are very powerful. You'd better not have any other plans, or we'll definitely be in big trouble."

Yu Xin did not respond to her.

The variety show has officially begun recording.

In addition to Qin Yuanyao, there are two other guest stars.

The other two guest stars are more famous and have better reputations than her.

Whether it was during the guests' self-introductions or when they participated in the challenges, the two guests received far more screen time than Qin Yuanyao, and the two guests also had significantly more screen time than Qin Yuanyao.

Qin Yuanyao didn't care.

That's how the entertainment industry works; it's all about praising the powerful and stepping on the weak. Whoever is popular gets more screen time and preferential treatment.

Qin Yuanyao did not deliberately stand next to Xing Yu or have any contact or communication with Xing Yu as Yu Xin had suggested.

She dutifully completed the entire episode of the variety show.

After the recording ended, Yu Xin didn't say anything to her or criticize her.

Qin Yuanyao thought that the matter was over and done with.

By evening, the hashtag #XingYuQinYuanYao# had become a trending topic.

Clicking on it leads to a Weibo post and several photos from a marketing account.

The gist of the Weibo post is that Xing Yu and Qin Yuanyao participated in the recording of the latest episode of "Happy Challenge" together. They seem to be a good match and are very compatible. There's a lot of sweetness between them.

The accompanying photos are several pictures of the two of them together during the recording of "Happy Challenge".

Although there are several people between the two in each photo, due to the shooting angle, it looks quite like Qin Yuanyao is looking at Xing Yu or Xing Yu is looking at Qin Yuanyao. In short, it is ambiguous and full of story.

Under this entry, it's all Xing Yu's fans and casual observers criticizing her.

[Screw this shipping! My brother has already said he's focusing on his career these past few years, so please don't mess around or use this for publicity.]

Here we go again! Can't Qin Yuanyao leave domestic male celebrities alone?! Every time she appears on a show, she drags another celebrity into it for publicity. Isn't that annoying? Can't she walk on her own?!

After learning that Qin Yuanyao would be participating in the recording of "Open Challenge" as a guest, I was worried that she might use our brother for publicity. Sure enough! Qin Yuanyao's publicity stunts never come late.

[Our brother was already so careful to avoid suspicion during the recording, never getting within two meters of Qin Yuanyao, and yet he's still being slandered based on these pictures. Poor brother.]

Qin Yuanyao is so despicable! Can't she survive without using her connections for publicity and leeching off others?

Are Qin Yuanyao and her team completely insane? They swarm around any male celebrity who's even remotely popular, trying to create hype for them. They're utterly despicable.

While netizens were passionately discussing this topic, Xing Yu's studio posted a Weibo post.

[Xing Yu is single and focused solely on her career.]

The seven simple words, though not naming names, were clearly a response to the trending topic #XingYuQinYuanYao#.

Xing Yu's quick disassociation and statement of stance only fueled the ridicule of Qin Yuanyao from netizens, especially Xing Yu's fans.

[Hahaha, my brother had his studio issue a clarification statement overnight. Anyone who runs into Qin Yuanyao should run away as fast as they can!]

[The fastest clarification in history. Qin Yuanyao deserves it.]

[Does Qin Yuanyao's face hurt now? Oh, I forgot, she has no shame, which is why she keeps trying to use others for publicity.]

What's going on with Qin Yuanyao? I actually liked her when I watched Xiaojia's live stream; she seemed different from what people online said. Why is she acting up again as soon as Xiaojia's show ended?

[Upstairs, isn't it obvious? Qin Yuanyao was faking it all during the live stream.]

[Have you all forgotten that when Xiaojia's live stream first started, Qin Yuanyao also tried to get involved with President Chi for publicity, but the related trending topics were quickly removed? It's said that President Chi's side intervened, prohibiting Qin Yuanyao's team from using him and his daughter to generate buzz, which is why there weren't any related trending topics after that.]
