Chapter 9

Jiang Mingshuang froze. Impossible! He clearly didn't see anyone here! But if what this man said was true...

Sun Zhanyuan turned to look at Jiang Mingshuang suspiciously, his voice growing angrier as he spoke. "You saw them, and Gu Yunshuang even nodded and said hello to you? You knew they were in the car, but you deliberately said Gu Yunshuang hadn't arrived yet, leading us to scold him?"

Xie Yuhua and Qiao Yuanzhong also cast disapproving glances at Jiang Mingshuang. What was Jiang Mingshuang trying to do? Was he trying to trick them in front of the live stream?

Even Xue Tinghe looked dissatisfied.

Jiang Mingshuang was speechless. He had been absolutely certain there was no one else in the car, and he secretly resented it. How could he be the only one looking inside when he got in? Now everyone was feigning ignorance, simply because they knew that if what Qi Yue said was true, someone would have to take the blame. So, they were all pointing the finger at him, the one Qi Yue had singled out.

The live broadcast room also started to quarrel at this time.

The fans of other people finally found a reason to justify their actions, and they all stood on the moral high ground to accuse Jiang Mingshuang of deliberately setting traps for others.

Jiang Mingshuang's fans weren't to be outdone, accusing others of mistaking their brother for someone else: "It wasn't just their brother who looked in when he got on the bus. How could two people that big sitting there not see anything? Why are they pretending to be blind?"

They also went back and carefully searched the screen recording and found evidence that other people had also looked inside and must have seen Gu Yunshuang and the other person.

The director, who had been waiting and watching, could no longer sit still.

He realized that the situation was not serious as soon as he heard Qi Yue's low laugh.

No one would have thought that in just a dozen seconds, Qi Yue only had to say a few words and everyone else would point their fingers at Jiang Mingshuang.

This won't do. He knows exactly who the real target of this variety show is. He can't smear Jiang Mingshuang right after the show starts, otherwise the financial sponsor behind him will tear him apart.

But before he could act, something worse happened.

In order to prove that someone saw Gu Yunshuang and the other person but pretended not to see them, several fans enlarged the screenshots of several guests, wanting to see if there was the reflection of Gu Yunshuang and the other person in their eyes when they looked towards Li.

In order to shoot this variety show well, the production crew used the best high-definition cameras available on the market. They were installed on the front and back of the bus. Even if the eyes of the people in the video were magnified very wide, the reflections in their eyes could still be seen clearly.

This check was quite remarkable. Among the guests, Jiang Mingshuang, Xie Yuhua, Qiao Yuanzhong, and Hu Lijing had all looked into the corner, but at that time, there was really no reflection of Gu Yunshuang and Qi Yue in their eyes, as if they really didn't see Gu Yunshuang and Qi Yue at that time!

What's going on? Is this a supernatural event?

The childhood variety show just started and a supernatural event occurred!!!

As soon as this discovery came out, the barrage of comments that had been noisy just now suddenly fell silent.

It’s really scary when you think about it!

A barrage of comments emerged:

[Isn't Xue Tinghe a powerful Heavenly Master? Supernatural events have occurred right before his eyes, so why didn't he notice anything unusual?]

It wasn't just appearing in front of him? It was even right in front of him! Xue Tinghe not only didn't notice anything unusual, but he still hadn't suspected anything.

Looking at his expression, he seemed to be suspecting whether Jiang Mingshuang or the program crew was deliberately trying to trick them.

The director finally panicked.

He knew very well that Xue Tinghe was not only powerful, but also had a high status in the world of Heavenly Masters.

He is the beloved disciple of the president of the Chinese Taoist Association, and is said to be the last heir of a mysterious and most powerful Chinese Taoist family. He is not only the number one among the younger generation of Taoist priests, but even the older generation of Taoist priests are full of praise for him and are very optimistic about him. They often say that Xue Tinghe is the wave behind pushing the wave in front, and these old guys are the wave in front who are about to be washed up on the beach, and their strength may not be comparable to Xue Tinghe.

Countless big bosses, including Mr. Han, the boss of Xinchao Entertainment, and Jiang Honghui, the largest shareholder, had to come to Xue Tinghe with a large sum of money and beg him humbly if they wanted to ask him for help.

If word gets out at this time that Xue Tinghe is incompetent and gets slapped in the face, it will have a ripple effect. All those senior Tianshi masters who once had high hopes for Xue Tinghe and even admitted that they were not as strong as him will be slapped in the face, and even the Tianshi Association will suffer damage to its reputation.

This is equivalent to slapping most of the Tianshi world in the face.

Such consequences are definitely not something their small program team can afford!

The director quickly ordered people to block the account, delete the comments, control the comments and limit the traffic.

Fortunately, their live broadcast room had just started not long ago, so the news had not spread so quickly.

Then he came to the bus, appeared on camera, and tried to smile to smooth things over and explain to everyone: "This is the task I issued to Jiang Mingshuang. Congratulations to Jiang Mingshuang for successfully completing the task."

Jiang Mingshuang felt relieved when he heard this, and nodded in acknowledgment, then looked apologetic to the others.

The others were moved and received the director's hint, and said that they had received the director's task.

The audience suddenly realized that it was a task assigned by the director. They wondered why the few people suddenly behaved so stupidly. It turned out that the director was not a human being.

This is not a big deal. Some variety show directors love to issue tasks that make people grit their teeth for the sake of the show effect. Some stars even lose countless fans because of this. In the final analysis, it is still the directors who are not human.

The audience started cursing the director.

But many people still remain skeptical because the discovery just now was too terrifying and exciting.

All the director can do now is to divert the audience's attention as quickly as possible and let this matter pass quickly.

Qi Yue, however, didn't want to let it go and questioned the director, "Director, what's your intention in issuing this task? Letting the audience see your production team and the guests collude to accuse Shuangshuang and bully him? Are you advocating bullying?"

He did not directly say that there was a problem with the assembly time given by the director, because it was verbally notified in person and they had no evidence. The director could also shirk responsibility by saying that the staff had remembered it wrong.

The director's face changed. "Society is very sensitive to the word 'bullying' these days. If the show has anything to do with it, there's no need to continue airing. Just accept the investigation from above!"

The director's face darkened. "Don't talk nonsense. This is just a small warm-up game. Since you are here, you should play some games."

"What a little game! Everyone knows by now that our Shuangshuang was inexplicably accused of being late and acting like a diva by online trolls. The program team played this game on the very first day of the show. Who are they trying to mock? Or are they trying to give us a warning? Wasn't this program invested in by Xinchao Entertainment? Didn't they say that Xinchao Entertainment invested in this program to whitewash us Shuangshuang? Why such a big warning at the beginning? Perhaps they saw that our Shuangshuang's contract was about to expire and they hadn't agreed to renew it, so they deliberately threw a warning?"

Not to mention the guests present, even the audience in the live broadcast room heard for the first time that Gu Yunshuang's contract with Xinchao Entertainment was about to expire, and Gu Yunshuang did not seem to want to renew the contract.

Gu's fans happily expressed their agreement.

Yun Shuang, listen to me, this crappy company is forgot. When you need it, it either disappears or shows up too late. They're the first to suppress their own artists, and they only give you crappy resources. Not only do they deny you the good ones, but they also constantly steal the resources you've earned to support others. I'm starting to doubt whether this is a rival company, not ours.

[It doesn't matter whether it's there or not. It might be better to change such an irresponsible company.]

[Support Yunshuang to kick out this useless company! ]

Other viewers had different concerns.

Gu Yunshuang's contract is about to expire, but he's not planning to renew it? Is this true or not? If it's true, why would Xinchao Entertainment go to such lengths to stage this variety show to whitewash him? Isn't that a bit too philanthropic?

Doesn't this just prove how powerful the financial backers behind Gu Yunshuang are? Perhaps this is also part of their whitewashing efforts. Isn't it starting to show results now?

The director was sweating profusely after being asked this question and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Jiang Mingshuang asked cautiously, "Sir, I don't know your name yet? What is your relationship with Brother Gu?"

After being reminded by him, the director finally found Qi Yue's loophole, and glared at Qi Yue with a dark face: "Yes, who are you? How come I didn't know that my program invited someone like you? Our program contract clearly states that you are not allowed to bring irrelevant personnel to avoid interfering with the program filming." As he said this, he looked at Gu Yunshuang with condemnation.

They knew this was Gu Yunshuang's childhood sweetheart, and when Sister Hua contacted him and insisted that he be Gu Yunshuang's partner, they didn't take it seriously. Now they realize how difficult this person is. This person can't stay in the program.

It just so happens that they haven’t signed the contract yet, so let’s kick them out first.

Gu Yunshuang had suffered a lot of backstabbing from them before, so he immediately became alert when he heard this: "He's Qi Yue. Doesn't your show emphasize that I must bring a childhood sweetheart with me? He is it. If you want to get rid of him and replace him with someone you choose, that's fine. I absolutely won't recognize anyone else as my childhood sweetheart."

The director's face turned dark. With Qi Yue's arrival, even Gu Yunshuang spoke without restraint!

Qi Yue continued to dig holes: "You guys are really funny. On the one hand, you insist on bringing real childhood sweethearts to the show, and now that I'm here, you deny it and want to kick me out. If you kick me out, who do you want to be Shuangshuang's partner? An actor found by Xinchao Entertainment? Why are you so persistent in finding an actor for Shuangshuang? Is there something wrong with this person?"

"Don't talk nonsense, there is no such thing! Without Gu Yunshuang's admission, who would dare to force a fake childhood sweetheart on him?" The director's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He quickly interrupted Qi Yue and had a headache at the same time.
