After Bai Wei fell asleep, Qu Jian'er picked her up by the waist, as easily as if she were holding a wisp of air. To Xiao Zhang's astonishment, Qu Jian'er gently placed her on the bed.

Qu Jian'er said, "You don't need to go to the opening ceremony later. Just relax and catch up on some sleep in the lounge."

Xiao Zhang worried, "Can you manage on your own?"

Qu Jian'er said in a serious tone, "If you're a woman, you can't say no."

(っ?3 Xiao Zhang: Sister Qu is amazing!)

Not long after.

Qu Jian'er met the other guests from the program.

Besides Qu Jiaorou, who is currently hospitalized, another regular guest is Gao Jiexi, who harbors resentment towards Qu Jian'er.

The last regular guest is Wu Na.

She lived up to her name, a hot and beautiful singer and dancer. This great singer only glanced at Qu Jian'er during the conversation, showed no reaction to the rumors, and said nothing.

However, the other girl present didn't seem so easy to talk to.

Special guest Zhu Ruoqi is an artist who rose to fame and debuted through variety shows. She and Qu Jian'er are both from Shangyue, and she is someone whose popularity is comparable to Qu Jian'er's.

The only difference is that one is black and red, and the other is real red.

Zhu Ruoqi walked to Qu Jian'er's side: "I've long heard that quite a few people in the industry sleep with others to get ahead and resources. But, you know, it's none of anyone else's business if someone chooses to be depraved. But, how come she's not ashamed at all, but instead feels proud to come out and disgust people like this?"

Qu Jian'er glanced at the person: "I remember you used to respectfully call me Teacher Qu."

Instead of getting angry, Zhu Ruoqi laughed and said bluntly, "We're the same age. You entered the industry at 14, so you're only 16 now. You've only been in it for two years. Do you really think you're still worthy of being called a teacher?"

Qu Jian'er sneered, "We used to work at the same company, you should know Li Jie, right?"

Zhu Ruoqi lowered her voice: "What are you trying to say? Sister Zhang is my top agent now. Do you think she'd side with an artist like you who's got a lot of scandals?"

Qu Jian'er also lowered her voice: "You can call her now and ask her how she's been lately."

Zhu Ruoqi raised her voice: "Don't try to be mysterious! Stop believing in this nonsense!"

Qu Jian'er rolled her eyes, not wanting to pay any attention to the other person: "Always complaining about this and that, like an old wooden board painted green, really thinking you're something special. Coming here to seek attention, like a toad covered in moss—what are you pretending to be, number two turtle?"

Zhu Ruoqi trembled with anger. She glared at Qu Jian'er as she left, her anger so intense that even her makeup couldn't conceal it.

Wu Na was pleasantly surprised by Qu Jian'er's counterattack. In her memory, Qu Jian'er would always suffer in silence, and even juniors who debuted later than her could step on her head.

But now? What's going on?

Gao Jiexi had long been aware of Qu Jian'er's sharp tongue, after being warned by her manager.

He no longer wanted to get involved.

I turned my head to look.

He caught a glimpse of the lewdness and amusement in the eyes of the person next to him.

Gao Jiexi's acting skills are beyond doubt, and he naturally saw through the other party's little thoughts: "I remember your dressing room is next to hers. After the first recording, be careful not to let some unscrupulous people climb into your bed."

He deliberately spoke cryptically, indirectly pointing out the location of Qu Jian'er and Wu Mu's rest room.

Wu Mu was the last special guest. Unlike Zhu Ruoqi, he was a fresh-faced idol who debuted as a trainee and became a sensation before being invited by the show.

However, the degree of freshness remains to be seen.

Wu Mu licked his lips: "Thank you for the reminder, Teacher Jiexi. I'll pay attention~~~"
