The people present were all highly educated, and they couldn't remain calm when they heard the words "photinia flower".

They all came to the table to take a look, and soon whispers began to circulate.

"It really is a photinia flower! I've never seen this disgusting stuff before, and they even put it in the food. I'm never coming to this restaurant again..."

"She's a big star, how can she sell this kind of stuff..."

"Exactly, exactly. They have no culture at all; they're practically the bottom line of the entertainment industry. They really need to be cleaned up."

"I used to have a lot of her photocards, but I cut them all up when I got back. It disgusted me..."

...

Qin Yueling was surrounded by rumors and gossip. The bodyguards who had just helped Xu Zhaozhao came in again to separate her from the crowd.

But sound travels through the air, and she still couldn't escape these rumors.

Every word she uttered was enough to break her down and expose her complete ignorance.

Fortunately, the manager arrived in time and calmed the situation down with a few words, allowing everyone to return to their seats.

Qin Yueling and Tiantian were escorted to the lounge. She finally heard the woman's strong voice declare, "I absolutely refuse to accept this dish!!"

The comments section exploded.

I admit I'm a loser, can anyone tell me what a photinia flower is?! [Begging for help]

It's a type of flower, but the smell after steeping it in water... um... it smells a lot like certain disgusting chemicals on a man's body. (A bold guess)

[Hahaha, sister, you're awesome! I tried posting this for ages and it got blocked. That statement about certain disgusting chemicals in men is absolutely true! [Thumbs up]]

That was indeed quite insulting... but it has nothing to do with Lingling, right? The food was prepared by the production team, so they are fully responsible!

[Some people are having a run of bad luck, so don't try to shift the blame to others~ This line is also for your goddess Qin~]

[When Qin Yueling was surrounded, she didn't even hold Tian Tian's hand; when Xu Zhaozhao was surrounded, she instinctively hugged Yu Yu tightly... The one who loves you the most is still your own mother.]

...

Xu Zhaozhao, who was in the lounge, was stunned by this reversal.

I stopped eating sunflower seeds and took two big gulps of soda to calm my nerves.

He moved closer to Xia Huai, who was sitting next to him, and skillfully turned off her microphone as well.

She whispered, "Sister, are you messing with her?"

Xia Huai smiled faintly and replied in a low voice, "It's just a different flower, how is that messing with her?"

The flower for that pumpkin, lotus seed, and snow fungus soup has indeed been replaced.

What's in your food cart?

“Same as you,” Xia Huai replied.

Xu Zhaozhao, however, was excited and continued to ask, "Sister, sister, how did you know she would choose that food truck? What if I chose that truck?"

Xia Huai turned his head to look at her, his fox-like eyes meeting hers. He extended his index finger, painted with nail polish, and gently placed it on Xu Zhaozhao's glistening lips.

They were very close, and she whispered, "Secret."

Given Qin Yueling's tendency to always be in the spotlight, is there even a need to guess which food truck she'll choose?

The strong scent of black opium made Xu Zhaozhao feel dizzy, so she didn't immediately move away.

The camera captured this scene as Qin Yueling returned to the lounge.

Xu Zhaozhao pushed Xia Huai away and pretended that nothing had happened.

Did they kiss? Did they kiss? Did they kiss? I don't care, all I saw was their lips were practically touching!! [crying]

[We've caught the female CEO and her young wife having an affair...]

[Photographer deserves a bonus!! Take more photos!! I love watching!! [wink][wink]]

...

Qin Yueling entered the lounge, where the noise around her was blocked out, and she felt her blood warming up a bit.

She's used to being praised and can't adapt to being trampled on.

Xu Zhaozhao saw Qin Yueling return, having just finished eating the last sunflower seed, and stood up to dust off non-existent dust from her clothes.

He raised his hand to turn on the microphone before slowly putting the screen back.

"Congratulations to all the guests for successfully completing the competition."

The host remained all smiles, making no mention of the little incident that had just occurred.

"According to the rules, our Goddess Qin is first, Sister Xia Huai is second, and Zhao Zhao is third. We will choose the male guests in this order."

This was the only thing that made Qin Yue feel happy.

"Thank you all for your kindness."

She stepped forward, turned her back to the camera, and thanked everyone.

When Xu Zhaozhao's gaze fell upon her, she found her eyes to be incredibly arrogant, like those of a victor.

Clearly, Qin Yueling believed that Gu Qingyan was already "in her grasp".

Xu Zhaozhao naturally shifted her gaze to the host and asked, "Host, what is my extra reward?"

Although she only stayed for an hour, she had already figured out her mother's philosophy on making variety shows.

Winning doesn't necessarily mean you've truly won; a reversal could be waiting for you at the next turn.

"Only Miss Zhao Zhao received the extra reward."

The host's words signaled that Qin Yueling had not received any additional reward.

"The extra reward will be revealed at the next check-in location. The male guest is already waiting for you, let's go, everyone."

The cameras followed the guests downstairs and into the car prepared by the production team.

A virtual character appeared on the live stream page and said in a robotic voice, "Our next stop is a bar. But this bar is a little different; it's called a family-friendly bar."

"Where will the guests meet the male guests? What kind of story will unfold? Let's look forward to it!"

After the broadcast, the virtual character disappeared.

[A high-tech production team! A well-funded production team, I'm so lucky!]

【Maya, is this little figure based on Xu Zhaozhao? I thought Xu Zhaozhao was going to jump out of the screen and hit me...[Have mercy]】

[How did it become Xu Zhaozhao? Her long black hair screams "our gentle Lingling!" [shy][shy]]

[Forget about the "Photinia Flower Goddess," I can practically smell her through the screen... ugh!]

...

Just from the name, you can tell it's a place suitable for all ages.

Xu Zhaozhao was indeed attracted by the name of the bar.

Firstly, she hadn't been to a bar in a long time; secondly, bars usually have rules against minors entering, and this one was specifically a family-friendly bar.

They wouldn't dare choose a location that far away for a live variety show; it's only a five-minute drive away.

When the guests arrived, they found the bar completely empty.

Unlike other bars, it didn't have a strong, pungent smell; instead, it had a faint smell of disinfectant, and the tables and chairs were arranged very neatly.

If it weren't for the several cameras flashing red dots, one might think they had come to the wrong place.

It really doesn't look like a bar.

The host arrived early and was waiting for everyone: "Welcome everyone to the family-friendly bar."

Qin Yueling asked impatiently, "Where's the male guest?"
