Viewers kept flooding the screen with comments, saying they wanted to see Qingyou again in the next episode.

I even went to the show's official Weibo account to leave comments.

But in the end, Qingyou withdrew.

Those who previously mocked Qingyou for trying to debut through this variety show have now been proven wrong.

Chu Lanwen's face darkened when she saw that Qingyou had not only not been criticized for leaving, but had also gained a new wave of fans.

She never expected that Qingyou would participate in a variety show herself to resolve the mess they had created.

To her even greater surprise, Qingyou was the best performer among all the guests.

She tried hiring online trolls to smear Qingyou, but to no avail, which infuriated her.

What bothered her even more was that some things were different from what she dreamed about.

For example, the popularity of this military reality show shouldn't be this high now, and the variety show that Shi Ying participated in didn't even exist in the dream, which means it must have been canceled.

She thought for a moment and then called Ai Xiaosu over.

He got straight to the point: "Do you want to participate in that military reality show?"

Ai Xiaosu was stunned for a moment, "The one Qingyou participated in?"

She has been keeping an eye on things ever since Qingyou went to Xingchen Entertainment.

What was even more unexpected was that the other party not only brought three useless people with them, but also went to participate in a variety show themselves.

She and Wei Fanghuai originally wanted to wait and see Qingyou make a fool of herself, but who knew that they would be the ones being scolded instead.

Qingyou gained a lot of fans because of this variety show. After learning about what happened before, those people went to Weibo to scold them as ungrateful bastards, etc.

She felt wronged. All she wanted was to choose a more promising agent. What was wrong with that?

She also suspected that this was Qingyou's revenge against them, deliberately orchestrated.

Chu Lanwen nodded, "Yes, if you want to participate, I can find a way to get you into the second round."

"This show is quite popular, and if you perform well, you'll gain a lot of fans."

“Even Qingyou’s agent can attract so many fans. If you perform well, you can too.”

She paused and said, "Jin Xueyun and Li Xinyu have both gained hundreds of thousands of followers on Weibo because of this variety show."

Ai Xiaosu was somewhat tempted. After thinking for a moment, she said, "If I don't perform as well as Qingyou, I might get a lot of flak too."

It would be a lie to say I'm not jealous of Qingyou's sudden surge in popularity after participating in a variety show.

But she's not stupid. If she can outperform Qingyou, she'll definitely gain fans, but if she doesn't perform as well as Qingyou, she'll probably get criticized.

Chu Lanwen said, "There's still a week until the second phase. I can arrange for you to receive targeted training."

"That Shi Yuxu must have trained beforehand, that's why she performed so well."

"If you perform that well, you can use your hard work to make up for your previous mistakes."

"As long as you can outdo Qingyou, the public opinion that says you are an ingrate will reverse and say that your choice was correct."

She simply couldn't swallow her anger if Qingyou continued to benefit from it.

Of course, she was also prepared for the possibility that if Ai Xiaosu didn't work out, she could try to move towards the Black and Red direction, as there was a lot of room for Black and Red to operate.

Even negative publicity is still publicity; as long as there's buzz, she can help Ai Xiaosu manage and promote her.

Seeing Ai Xiaosu hesitate, she asked directly, "Do you want to be famous?"

Ai Xiaosu looked up, "Who in this industry doesn't want to be famous?"

Aside from a few genuinely indifferent people, most people don't want to be famous.

She dreams of becoming famous and a top-tier celebrity.

Chu Lanwen nodded, "That's right."

"If we want to become famous, let's first ride the wave of Qingyou's popularity."

"If you perform well, it's a game-winning comeback; if you don't perform so well, then make fun of yourself and take the path of being infamous."

She had her team plan Ai Xiaosu's future path, but found that it wouldn't be easy for her to become famous.

Ai Xiaosu's conditions are really limited. Although she is pretty, in the entertainment industry where beauties abound, she is just like an ordinary passerby.

She sings okay, but she's far behind professional singers.

His acting is passable, but not enough to carry a whole show.

Of course, if Ai Xiaosu is allowed to take things one step at a time, focusing on improving her acting skills and taking on more high-quality roles, she might be able to gradually become famous based on her acting skills in a couple of years.

But Chu Lanwen couldn't wait; she was eager to prove to everyone that she was better than Qingyou.

Recently, because of that variety show, she knows that people in the company have been gossiping about her behind her back.

They also said that she and that producer were so arrogant, trying to suppress Qingyou and Shi Yuxu, but who knew that they would be outmaneuvered by Qingyou's side.

As the variety show's popularity continued to rise, the major investor who had fallen out with the production team also harbored resentment towards her.

She discussed with her team yesterday that they could use Qingyou to promote Ai Xiaosu.

Ai Xiaosu should strive to do better and outperform Qingyou; that would be the best outcome.

If she's not going to live up to expectations, then she can take the path of being both famous and infamous; after all, it's her own fault.

Ai Xiaosu had been in the industry for quite some time, and she immediately understood what Chu Lanwen meant.

She was still a little undecided. "Should I consider it?"

Chu Lanwen was not happy, but she still nodded and said, "Okay, you think about it. You must give me an answer this afternoon, otherwise someone else might beat you to it."

After thinking for a moment, Ai Xiaosu finally voiced her doubts, "Sister Chu, now that Huo Xingchen is the major investor in that show, what if Qingyou tries to stop me even if I decide to participate?"

Chu Lanwen raised an eyebrow. "I guess she won't stop it."

Then she changed the subject, saying, "And if she tries to stop me, I'll spread the word that she's afraid you'll outperform her, so she's deliberately trying to suppress you."

"It gives the impression that she is afraid of us."

Yesterday, she and her team came up with several solutions, and no matter which one Qingyou chooses, they have a way to keep the momentum going.

Upon hearing this, Ai Xiaosu suddenly said, "Then I won't consider it anymore, I'll go."

If she could step on the green pomelo to get up there, she could finally let go of the anger she had been holding in.

If you can't ride the coattails of Qingyou to the top, then try to capitalize on their current popularity and make yourself famous.

As Chu Lanwen said, black and red are still red.

She and Wei Fanghuai had always wanted to become top celebrities like Mu Xiaoyu, but Qingyou always told them to focus on improving their acting skills first and take it one step at a time, making them wait.

But when will that be? They simply don't have the patience.

Chu Lanwen gave her an approving look. "That's right."

"As long as you can become famous, even if it's infamous fame, once your popularity and traffic soar, you can quickly clear your name if you manage things well."

"Of course, I still hope you can defeat Qingyou with your strength."

"Once it's confirmed that you can participate, you can go to training tomorrow."

Ai Xiaosu smiled and said, "Okay, thank you, Sister Chu."

Chu Lanwen waved her hand, "Then go and prepare, I'll let you know later."

Ai Xiaosu nodded and left the office on her own initiative.
