“But at least I won’t interfere in the affairs of the younger generation, and I won’t comment on Ah Xuan’s future wife,” Wu Ningwei said firmly.
Feng Wenhe scoffed, "Come on. Of course you'd say that now, but when you're really old, you won't say or think that way anymore."
"I……"
Feng Wenhe raised her hand to interrupt Wu Ningwei, "We're still participating in the show, let's talk about these things after the show is over."
After Feng Wenhe finished speaking, she left the room first.
Wu Ningwei watched his figure, then turned her gaze to the fields outside the window, shrouded in mist and clouds, and let out a long, sorrowful sigh.
...
The production team didn't have any plans for the afternoon, so Cao Feiyue and Xing Yu stayed in their respective rooms.
Qi Tian and Cao Feiyue shared a room, but she didn't like being with Cao Feiyue, so she went to play with Chi Naozhi instead.
Cao Feiyue was sitting on the bed, about to go online to search for netizens' comments on her performance that morning, when she received a call from her agent, Brother Ma.
Cao Feiyue went to a room without cameras, turned off her microphone, and answered the phone.
She had barely uttered a single "hello" when Brother Ma's cursing began to rain down on her.
"I put you on this variety show to gain traffic and popularity, not to highlight how ignorant you are and ruin your own reputation! Have you ever cut bamboo before? If you haven't, what are you learning from Qin Yuanyao! Do you know what netizens are saying about you? The whole internet is saying you have no common sense at all!"
"Feng Wenhe invited you all to lunch together, and no one helped Wu Ningwei wash the lobsters. Why didn't you help? You didn't even seize such a good opportunity to show off! Zhuo Ranyun is a socialite; she's just on this show for fun, and she doesn't care if people criticize her. Are you like her?! What are you trying to learn from her?!"
"And I told you to interact more with Xing Yu, create ambiguity, and hype things up, not to wear those words on your sleeve and let everyone know your intentions! Do you know what netizens said about you when you scared Xing Yu behind his back? They said you were incredibly fake, pretending to be so familiar with Xing Yu, it was disgusting and nauseating!"
"That's not all. You've also given Qin Yuanyao so many fans and so much attention because of this! Netizens are saying that seeing how you treat Xing Yu makes them realize how well-behaved Qin Yuanyao was when she was with Chi Baiyi! They've realized how good Qin Yuanyao is!"
"How could you be so stupid! You couldn't seize such a great opportunity to shine, and instead created one that got you flamed by netizens and gave your rivals traffic and fans! You're such a philanthropist!"
Cao Feiyue was completely bewildered by Ma Ge's scolding, only then realizing how terrible her performance, which she thought was pretty good today, was in the eyes of netizens.
Cao Feiyue felt both wronged and a little angry.
"You told me to interact with Xing Yu more, that's why I scared him from behind," she said weakly.
"I told you to interact with him more, and this is the only way you can think of?! You've acted in idol dramas before, don't you know how to create ambiguity?! Don't put your investor persona on camera, not many normal viewers will like that! If you don't know how, learn from Qin Yuanyao how she turned her career around with this variety show and made everyone think that her relationship with Chi Baiyi was becoming more and more complicated!"
"You know how difficult it was for me to get you into this variety show, and you also know how many celebrities want to use this show to revive their careers! If you don't cherish this opportunity, you can just wait to fade into obscurity!"
After finishing his sentence, Brother Ma hung up the phone.
Cao Feiyue's good mood before answering the phone had completely vanished. She was angry, resentful, and regretful.
She had such a good opportunity to show off while washing lobsters at noon, how could she not resist!
How did she become so disliked by netizens, who even think Qin Yuanyao is better than her?
She clearly has more fans than Qin Yuanyao! She's always been more popular than Qin Yuanyao!
Cao Feiyue is no longer in the mood to leisurely enjoy her free afternoon.
She just wanted to do something quickly to salvage her reputation, which had collapsed that morning!
She recalled Qin Yuanyao's first positive public image when she appeared on the first season of the show "Little Family," when she gave two steamed buns to the staff.
Since she hadn't helped Wu Ningwei wash the lobsters at noon, she could make some steamed buns, mantou, or other snacks to give to Wu Ningwei, the other guests, and the staff.
She refused to believe that netizens wouldn't have a good opinion of her!
Cao Feiyue acted immediately and ran to the kitchen.
However, she couldn't find the ingredients to make the food, either in their room's kitchen or in the communal kitchen.
However, if she were to ask the production team to buy these ingredients, they only had four yuan left in their household funds. That money was barely enough to cover their dinner that night, so there was no extra money for her to buy ingredients to make snacks to please the other guests and staff.
Cao Feiyue's mood worsened.
Looks like I'll have to do my best during tomorrow's mission...
...
Qi Tian and Chi Nai were playing in Qin Yuanyao's room.
The two little girls were having a great time, chattering away nonstop.
However, even in such a noisy and chaotic environment, Qin Yuanyao was not annoyed. She looked at her script as if no one else was around, and she was quite focused on it.
I really admire Qin Yuanyao! If my daughter and her classmate argued next to me for that long, my head would start to hurt.
[Hahaha, I understand what you said, and I empathize with your feelings (facepalm). Kids really do start chattering, and listening to them for too long can give your ears and head a headache.]
Looking at it this way, Qin Yuanyao is actually quite good. Even if she's faking it, someone who's pretending will eventually show their true colors when the children keep making so much noise.
My Yao Yao is just that great! I'm recommending her again. She's genuinely kind and doesn't cause any trouble. You won't regret investing in her!
Meanwhile, Chi Baiyi came over to check what Chi Naoqi was doing.
Seeing that Chi Baiyi, Qi Tian, and Qin Yuanyao, the two children and the adult, got along very well without disturbing each other, Chi Baiyi returned to her room with peace of mind.
He worked in his room for a while, then received a call from Mu Hai.
Chi Baiyi did not shy away from the live broadcast camera. He remained seated, operating the computer touchpad with one hand and answering the call with the other.
"Mr. Chi, I've found the man who took Zhao Lan from the bar to the hotel. The man's name is Cui Yi, and he admits that he took the Chenghuang mask from Zhao Lan," Mu Hai said on the other end of the phone.
Chi Baiyi's expression remained normal, and his hands moved smoothly as he operated the computer, showing no abnormalities.
He gave a curt "hmm" without any discernible emotion.
