Chapter 182 Are all experts this stubborn?
Due to the sudden incident, the zoo was temporarily closed, and the production team had to suspend filming. Several guests were urgently summoned back and gathered together to wait for news from the zoo.
Ji Yuanting was initially quite happy to hear that filming had been suspended and that she would no longer have to deal with that grumpy lion.
But when she learned what Ye Wanxi had done in that short morning, she was so shocked that she immediately lost her composure: "This is impossible!"
Gu Shaoling rolled her eyes at her and chuckled, "I didn't expect Wanxi to be so strong when she looks so frail. She can even subdue a tiger. Although it's not exactly a head-on confrontation, it's really amazing that she was able to save a life from such a ferocious beast."
Upon hearing this, Ji Yuanting's expression twisted for a moment, but she didn't say anything more. After holding it in for a while, she only muttered softly, "She really knows how to steal the limelight everywhere she goes."
Ji Yuanting thought she was speaking softly, but she didn't expect that everyone present was preoccupied with their own thoughts and no one was in the mood to chat.
The entire venue was very quiet, making her soft voice seem quite abrupt.
As soon as she finished speaking, the atmosphere became very subtle.
Gu Shaoling already disliked her, and after witnessing the perilous rescue Ye Wanxi had risked her life, she couldn't bear to see Ye Wanxi's life-threatening rescue being so casually labeled as stealing the limelight.
"Stealing the limelight? If you're so capable, go ahead and steal it once. If you're not, then shut up. We usually give you a break because you're young, but you really think you're something special. If you don't know how to speak properly, go home and learn from your mother, so you don't end up not knowing what to say or not to say. Otherwise, you'll run into a tough opponent and get slapped to death, and there won't be any way to save you."
Ji Yuanting was taken aback by Gu Shaoling's sudden attack. After a moment of stunned silence, her eyes welled up with tears, and she looked pleadingly at the two male guests and several male staff members of the production crew.
But this time she was destined to be disappointed. Zhang Ren and the other man did not stand by her side unconditionally as before and help her refute Gu Shaoling. Instead, they frowned and avoided her gaze.
Several staff members frowned, their gazes no longer gentle as before, but instead filled with shock and disgust.
This discovery nearly drove Ji Yuanting to despair. She never imagined that in just one morning, her status within the program team would undergo such a dramatic change.
What kind of evil magic did Ye Wanxi use on them?
Filled with resentment but forced to back down due to isolation and helplessness, Ji Yuanting was completely unaware that a small object was flashing and jumping not far away, nor did she notice that someone was standing a few steps behind her, staring at her without moving.
Aunt Qiao never expected that the filming of the show would take such a turn. She disguised herself as a cleaning staff member and wandered around the production crew to see whether these people would stay or leave, and whether the show could continue filming.
As luck would have it, I overheard Ji Yuanting's sarcastic remarks.
Aunt Qiao's face immediately darkened. She secretly noted down the female celebrity's features and began to plot how to get back at her.
Gu Shaoling and the others did not have to wait long before a decision was quickly reached on whether to stay or leave.
Given what happened, the zoo obviously couldn't stay open, but surprisingly, the zoo agreed to the program crew's request to continue filming.
"This is unbelievable! I thought this episode was over. The zoo actually agreed to let us continue filming..."
Gu Shaoling was clearly more meticulous than the two men, and she lowered her voice to express her guess: "I think the zoo probably let us continue filming because of Wanxi."
Zhang Ren and Jia Jiu exchanged a glance, thinking it was very likely!
Although they were allowed to continue filming, it was getting late, and the group needed to have lunch before continuing their afternoon activities.
After Ye Wanxi finished dealing with her business, the dishes they had ordered were served just as she returned to the group. Their eyes lit up when they saw her coming.
Gu Shaoling waved to her from afar, saying, "Here, here! Why are you so late? I thought you weren't going to eat with us. Here's the menu. Take a look and see if there's anything you'd like to eat. We don't really know your tastes, and we don't know if you'll like what we've ordered."
Ye Wanxi took the menu, glanced at it, and then closed it again: "It's okay, I'm not picky about food, I'll eat with you."
"Okay, let's eat first, and we can order anything else we want to eat later."
Zhang Ren and the others weren't that familiar with Ye Wanxi, so they waited a while before tentatively striking up a conversation: "We've all heard about what happened to you, it's really amazing. How could you just rush out like that without thinking about the danger? Didn't you consider the risks?"
"I definitely thought about it, but in that situation, I didn't have time to think too much. Besides, at that moment, I felt that there shouldn't be any problem."
"???" What do you mean by "should be fine"? That's a tiger, not some cat or dog. Are all you experts this stubborn?
Gu Shaoling's focus was clearly different from the others: "To be honest, when I saw you rush in, I panicked at first. But then I thought about your special physique and even fantasized that the tiger would kneel down at your casual pants, just like the snake I was in charge of."
But as it turns out, a wild beast is still a wild beast. When it gets going, even the most popular animal in the animal kingdom can't be calmed down without being poked a few times.
"What do you mean, the snake you were in charge of? Wanxi even went to your place?"
At the mention of this, Gu Shaoling perked up: "You guys don't know, it's true what they say about Wanxi causing a riot among a group of animals when she participated in a variety show. The snake I was in charge of was really difficult to handle. The zookeeper and I tried to persuade it for ages, but it wouldn't budge until Wanxi came over..."
Over the next twenty minutes, Gu Shaoling vividly recounted everything that happened inside the amphibious pavilion.
Moreover, when she gathered for the show earlier, Gu Shaoling took the initiative to ask the production team for her phone back so she could check the online public opinion.
Only then did I realize that Ye Wanxi had made headlines before coming to the snake house because of the golden monkeys in the monkey enclosure's fawning and flattering behavior.
This discovery made Gu Shaoling even more certain that Ye Wanxi was extraordinary, and it naturally became a topic of conversation for the little fan girl to brag about her idol to her friends.
Gu Shaoling spoke with great enthusiasm, and Zhang Ren and the other listened with great interest. Ye Wanxi was a little embarrassed by Gu Shaoling's flattery and kept smiling throughout.
Only Ji Yuanting, because of the previous little incident, couldn't join the conversation and didn't dare to.
His face was ashen; he felt that everything that had happened in the past half-day had indirectly slapped himself in the face for trying to expose her persona of being a stalker of affection.
