Chapter 19: Eating melon progress 19%
◎He is connected to the intelligence system!◎
[What?] Su Lan, who was leaning against a tree and eating melons, suddenly sat up straight.
【Xi Ling's house collapsed? 】
Xi Ling is an artist under Shengtian. She debuted first in the talent show and is Xiao Sheng's cash cow.
Xiao Sheng signed hundreds of small-time artists, but Xi Ling was the only one who made real money for his company. The rest of them were struggling to make ends meet, their earnings barely covering their accommodation, makeup, and promotional expenses...
The company's best resources are all invested in Xi Ling, and Xi Ling is the male lead in all the company's self-produced dramas.
It is also because of Xi Ling that Shengtian Entertainment was able to break into the top three in the industry.
Xiao Sheng is now disabled in the lower body, but he can still lie down and earn tens of thousands of dollars a day. The key is that he signed a 30-year contract before Xi Ling made his debut.
As long as Xi Ling is here, she can live to support him in his old age.
Su Lan continued to dig:
[Xi Ling's reputation collapsed because she was accused of rape during a group movement in a certain country overseas!]
He is now imprisoned.
[Inmates in a certain country's prisons also have a contempt system. They look down on rapists like this the most. He was beaten half to death in prison and was carried out on a stretcher to seek medical treatment. Only then was this discovered and exposed online...]
Everyone who heard the voice at the scene quickly opened the trending search.
It’s true!
These thoughts are actually true!
The details are exactly right.
The director glanced in Su Lan's direction.
The sound quality of this inner voice is exactly the same as Su Lan's.
He could confirm that the voice came from Su Lan.
Doesn't she have a personal cell phone?
How did she know?
Even more than the trending searches...
Is it so magical?
Su Lan blinked and met the director's gaze, which was both admiring and a little incredulous.
Su Lan:?
Why is he looking at me like that?
The director poked the assistant next to him and said, "Quick, transfer Su Lan's notice fee to her."
The director felt like he had found a treasure, Su Lan knew everything.
In the future, he won't have to worry about his co-stars' reputations falling apart in the entertainment industry. All he needs to do is check with Su Lan in advance, which is better than burning any incense sticks...
I remember that the entire director team spent seven consecutive nights in the editing room to remove the artist who had collapsed...
These days are finally coming to an end...
The assistant specifically confirmed, "Director, didn't you say everyone's notice pay would be delayed until next year?"
In addition to the 100 million yuan prize, all participating artists and guests in the variety show "Survival on Deserted Island" will also receive additional remuneration, which can be regarded as a sunshine award.
They're holding off on paying because it's a large sum of cash, and the interest alone is quite high. Plus, there's a lot of people in the entertainment industry delaying payments, so they just do this...
The director ordered: "Stop talking nonsense, just do it."
Su Lan, who was eating melons on a tree, suddenly received a text message from the program crew.
[The filming fee for "Survival on Deserted Island" is RMB 500,000. The payment has been made. Please check.]
Su Lan nodded to the director.
[So you remembered to send me money. Sure, thank you.]
Su Lan put the money away, read the text message twice, felt happy, and continued to eat melons.
[Wow, Xi Ling was completely set up this time!]
[He had met this woman at a party before, added her on WeChat, chatted with her a few times, and even had a sexual experience with her before.]
[But this time he was instigated and got the woman drunk so he could play 2+1.]
[The woman later sobered up and discovered it was 2+1. She refused to do it no matter what. They were already so high that they couldn't stop, so they forced themselves on her. This is also a confirmed case of rape.]
[However, Xi Ling had no idea that the man he was playing with actually took money...]
[Emmm... I haven't eaten in a long time, I feel a little hungry all of a sudden...]
Just as Su Lan was thinking this, she saw the program crew's drone flying over with a bag of barbecue-flavored large-wavy potato chips hanging underneath.
Su Lan:?
[Ah, this... can I eat it? ]
She glanced in the director's direction.
The director made a "eating secretly" gesture to her.
He even helped her turn off the live broadcast of the drone.
Su Lan: ...
Then I won’t be polite.
[Isn't it said that this production team is notoriously strict, never giving the guests a drop of water...]
【Why are you so kind today? 】
Su Lan blinked her round little deer eyes and ate the potato chips given by the program crew. They were crunchy and crispy.
Everyone held their breath, waiting for her to finish eating.
Finally finished eating.
Come on, continue cutting the melon.
[It turns out that Shengtian Group spent 500 million to produce a costume drama about palace fighting, with Xi Ling as the male lead.]
[But palace intrigue dramas are not popular these days. I finally found a spot to air, but I had to choose between two dramas. Only one of them will be aired.]
Xi Ling's reputation has collapsed, the show is over, and her competitors have risen to prominence.
[But I can't blame anyone else entirely. After all, Xi Ling did it himself...]
The people who heard the inner voice looked at each other in confusion.
I have heard of honey traps before, but I didn’t expect it to be 2+1, and it was set up by someone!
The entertainment industry is so fierce...
At this moment, Xiao Sheng still didn't know.
He just felt that the people around him looked at him strangely...
Then, Xiao Sheng received a call.
As soon as he heard that Xi Ling was in trouble, he quickly asked his assistant to push him away.
【Wow, no wonder it runs so fast. 】
When Shengtian was attracting investment, they painted a very big picture, predicting billions in annual revenue, but in reality, their turnover was only 200 million.
[Not only that, Xiao Sheng also cashed out over 100 million to buy Dogecoin, but ended up losing it all when it crashed. Now the company only has 50 million in its account.]
[Xi Ling's house collapsed. He could be bankrupted in one night...]
Xiao Sheng didn't dare to think too much and quickly asked his assistant to run faster.
The assistant pushed the wheelchair, walking briskly...
*
Xi Ling’s scandal immediately became a hot topic, and some people couldn’t sit still.
On the top floor of an office building in the city center, Peng Bo, chairman of Coconut Video, sat behind a pearwood coffee table and took a sip of Xinyang Maojian tea.
"Another one?" Bloomberg's eyes were deep.
The assistant nodded, "Yes, Xi Ling, who got into trouble this time, is Xiao Sheng's subordinate..."
Peng Bo put down his teacup. "Cheng Anyi and Xiao Sheng are both related to that incident... Let's find out who the ghost behind this is..."
The assistant was a little embarrassed. "Last time the barrage was exposed, no hackers could find it..."
Bloomberg was overbearing: "I don't want explanations, I just want results."
The assistant thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll think of a solution. Every time something goes wrong, it's related to the variety show 'Desert Island Survival'. I'll send someone to investigate."
Bloomberg was silent for a few seconds, wrote a few words on the paper, put it in the envelope, and stamped it.
"No, I have someone there. Give him this letter. He knows what to do."

Alpha Island.
Su Lan ate a bunch of melons on the tree and didn't even remember to check her stamina.
When her stamina value dropped to zero and the system space alarm sounded, she was surrounded by people: Tong Wei, the director, the production crew...
Su Lan quickly got down from the tree and noticed everyone's gazes.
Su Lan:?
【What are you all looking at me for? 】
She didn't have time to think about it and quickly ran to her own pit house.
Tong Wei's tail is still following.
Others thought there were more melons, so they followed suit...
Su Lan was speechless: ...
【Don't come over here! 】
The system countdown is still going on. This place is too remote and too far away from her pit house.
But there were people behind her, and she couldn't turn into a sloth in front of everyone...
Only fifteen seconds left.
It's too late.
She jumped down and into the sea.
[What? Do you have to follow me when I swim? ]
Everyone stopped at the shore after hearing this voice.
System countdown: [ten, nine, eight...]
Su Lan sank to the bottom of the water like a dolphin, drew a beautiful arc underwater, and transformed into a sloth.
She was afraid of being discovered, so she swam underwater for a long time before daring to surface.
In sloth form, she can even hold her breath underwater for forty minutes.
Although she was three times faster in the water than on land, it was still very slow, and it took her more than ten minutes to swim more than two hundred meters.
On a late autumn night, the sea water grew increasingly cold. She was cold, tired, and far from shore...
The cumulus clouds in the sky finally couldn't bear the weight and turned into fine mist and rain, drifting down. A misty fog seemed to rise over the sea.
A wooden boat emerged from the hazy water, with a man about twenty-five years old sitting on it.
The rain soaked the silver-white hair and it fell in front of the porcelain-white forehead.
The wind blew the hair on the forehead, revealing the whole clean and soft face, as quiet as the breeze and as bright as the snow.
His clothes were soaked by water, and around his neck was a silver necklace with the letter "L" engraved on it.
He was covered in moonlight, breathtakingly beautiful.
There is a person on the wooden boat and a sloth on the sea.
Two pairs of eyes met on the misty sea, a glance that lasted a thousand years...
"Come up?" His voice was clear.
Su Lan slowly tilted her oval little head and moved her mouth.
The sound made was: "Wow - wow - wow -"
It means: Leave me alone.
Gu Yanzhi didn't understand and reached out his hand to her.
Su Lan didn't want to have too much contact with people in the form of a sloth, so he turned around and tried to swim away. However, he didn't swim far before he got stuck in the water plants and floundered in place.
Gu Yanzhi didn't think twice and jumped into the water with a splash. He untied the water weeds for her and carried her onto the boat.
After getting on the boat, he covered Su Lan with his black coat, wrapping her up like a dumpling.
A warmth surged through my body.
Su Lan is a child who has suffered a lot. Even a little bit of warmth is enough to make her want to cry.
She blinked her eyes with emotion and said "wow" twice, which meant: thank you.
Gu Yanzhi curled his lips and rowed towards the shore.
Su Lan slowly lowered her eyes and saw that his shirt was soaked, with wrinkles on the clothes that were slightly raised, winding like a flowing river.
Don’t look at anything indecent… Don’t look at it…
She wanted to look up, but it was too slow...
She wanted to close her eyes, but they closed very slowly...
She heard her own heartbeat, getting louder and louder...
After a few seconds, she raised her oval face.
I saw the words on the man’s head.
【Melon eating progress:】
It turned out to be him.
Su Lan called the system.
"That is, how could someone's melon-eating progress be a question mark?"
The system heard the call and slowly appeared.
"Come on, let me check, wait a moment..."
"I've never encountered such a difficult problem... Wait a moment..."
"I don't know... wuwu... I'll check the company forum..."
"Ah! I see!"
"He's linked to the intelligence system! He's blocked you."
Su Lan:?
