"Why not let Zhou Gan step in and smooth things over?" This suggestion was met with opposition.

"Don't you know that Xinghe Technology is currently in talks with the Chen family's company about a collaboration? How could Zhou Gan possibly offend his business partner?"

"Maybe he'd be willing?" Koba-suke muttered unconsciously, then, noticing everyone's attention on him, quickly waved his hand and said, "I was just talking nonsense."

The producer waved his hand impatiently: "Never mind, I'll think of another way."

At 7:30, Ruan Bai appeared on camera accompanied by Gao Xin.

A short while later, Shen Yan also came downstairs. Her hair was loose, she had no makeup on, and her eyes were swollen like walnuts, clearly indicating that she had cried a lot last night.

Her fans immediately spoke out in the live chat to defend her.

[So many people were criticizing Yanbao during yesterday's live stream, but what does that have to do with her? It wasn't her who turned off the camera.]

[Lin Zhen's hype is the program team's problem; my Yanbao is just a small-time streamer, what say could she possibly have?]

[Hehe, of course Yanbao can't compare to that resourceful star; she can't learn those despicable tactics of climbing up men's legs.]

Shen Yan hesitated for a moment, then knelt down in front of Ruan Bai, placing his hands on her knees, and said sincerely, "Bai Bai, I'm sorry, I didn't expect this to happen."

Ruan Bai was silent for a moment, then looked at the other person and said, "I thought you would remember to wake me up."

"I forgot." Shen Yan looked very guilty. "It's my fault for not taking good care of you. You can hit me or scold me if you want, as long as it makes you feel a little better."

Ruan Bai frowned and remained silent. The other party had been so sincere; if she didn't forgive them, it would make her seem petty.

She could only manage a weak smile and replied, "It's okay, it's not your fault."

"That's great." Shen Yan hugged Ruan Bai affectionately. "I really consider you my good friend. I'm so happy that you're not angry with me."

Lin Zhenzhen watched Shen Yan's self-directed and self-acted drama as if it were a clown, her eyes full of mockery. Anyone who didn't know the situation would really think the two were very close sisters.

"Zhenzhen, are you still angry with me?" Unexpectedly, after the performance on the other end was over, the other party turned the conversation back to her.

Lin Zhenzhen looked puzzled in front of the camera: "Why would you say that?"

"I didn't sleep a wink last night after you scolded me. I really didn't mean to steal the spotlight."

As if he had pressed some magical switch, Chen Yan's tears began to flow uncontrollably.

"Uh-huh."

"I'm not the kind of person who likes to show off. I'm just a small-town girl who likes to play the piano. I don't understand all those complicated things."

"Uh-huh."

"I didn't even notice when the photographer came to take pictures of me; it was all an accident!"

"Uh-huh."

No matter what Shen Yan said, Lin Zhenzhen always stuck to her policy of "You're right, I agree," which was very perfunctory.

Her well-intentioned but ultimately shrewish remarks lost much of their power, as if she were punching cotton.

Shen Yan's face darkened: "You're still angry with me."

Lin Zhenzhen pouted and said innocently, "I'm not the kind of person who gets angry easily. I'm just a nobody who likes to act. I don't know how to be sarcastic or mean to others."

The comments section was hilarious.

[Who gets the most satisfaction from this woman's comeback? Oh, it's me.]

[Hahaha, I love that cheeky little expression! He's fooling the master of learning!]

[Lin Zhen, a pioneer against affectation in the entertainment industry. It turns out I'm not the only one who thinks Shen Yan is pretentious and manipulative; I even think her haggard appearance looks like she's wearing "hospital makeup."]

[I'm so annoyed by this Chenyan fandom. Their fans are like a cult, infiltrating everything. If your idol is so passionate about art, she should become an artist. It's such a waste of her talent to be a small-time streamer.]

Shen Yan realized that the other party was imitating her speech. She wanted to lash out, but then she remembered the personal information of Lin Zhen that the system had retrieved for her, and her anger subsided a bit.

Lin Zhen was just a newcomer in the world of quick transmigration, a "three-nothing" person with no achievements, no background, and no attention. What could she possibly use to compete with herself?

Even if I find an opportunity to secretly kill her, no one will pursue it. Why lower myself here and argue with her?

Having figured this out, Shen Yan rolled her eyes inwardly and put on a confident smile.

Although the controversy from last night has not subsided, the production team has decided to bite the bullet and continue filming.

The PD handed over a new task list.

Lin Zhenzhen took the envelope and read its contents aloud.

"To reward everyone for your hard work over the past few days, the production team has planned a trip with unique local characteristics. Please enjoy your holiday time!"

"A trip?" Lin Zhenzhen suddenly remembered the evening when she received the seashell reward, when Zhou Gan invited her to go on a trip to the island the next day.

She subconsciously looked in his direction, only to see a staff member holding a mobile phone, hurriedly finding Zhou Gan.

Zhou Gan then took the phone, frowning as he walked outside.

What are your travel plans?

After enduring this period of torment, Sheng An no longer believed the show's nonsense. He only regretted why he had argued with his family and ended up participating in this ridiculous variety show.

"Specific projects and partners are all determined by lottery."

There were two boxes, one blue and one white, in the living room, each containing a small ball with the names of eight guests written on it.

The blue box contains the male guest, and the white box contains the female guest.

Each time, two different guests shake the box simultaneously, and the two names that are shaken out form a pair.

The production team went to such lengths to arrange the game because of online criticism that the script was too obvious. In order to prove their innocence, they temporarily changed the game rules.

The script team was in tears: This is simply an undeserved disaster, since from the very beginning, not a single guest has respected their hard work.

The first group to shake the box were Gu Kaile and Lin Zhenzhen. Gu Kaile shook Yu Heze, while Lin Zhenzhen shook Ruan Bai.

The second group to perform were Yu Heze and Ruan Bai, and the two names that came out were Gu Kaile and Gao Xin.

Gu Kaile was clearly disappointed. He gave Shen Yan a deep look, his thoughts obvious.

Gao Xin was so angry that she hit him: "What do you mean? You look down on me?"

The gears of fate turned to Sheng An and Shen Yan. Once this pairing was decided, the two of them would naturally become a couple.

Sheng An opened the small ball and exclaimed "Eh!"

“It’s me.” A note with Sheng An’s name on it appeared in front of the camera.

Shen Yan unfolded the note, and after reading the words, she couldn't help but smile.

“It’s Lin Zhen.” She looked at Lin Zhenzhen. “Zhenzhen and Sheng An are in the same group.”

"In that case, all the pairs will be formed into groups, and the last pair will be Zhou Gan and Shen Yan."

As soon as the PD's voice-over ended, a staff member ran up to him and said something.
