"I don't understand the world of the big shots," someone said blankly, almost bursting into tears. "With the same resources and the same world, how come some people can live a more and more awesome and comfortable life?"
His companion patted him hard on the shoulder a few times, dejectedly saying, "Just accept it, that's life."
"Waaaaah..."
Li Jing was throwing a tantrum and smashing things to the side in frustration. Liu Yaoyue glanced at her, then turned away with a mocking look and continued rummaging through the supply boxes. Suddenly, her hand touched something, and when she looked down, she exclaimed in surprise, "A cell phone!"
"What, a cell phone?"
"There's a cell phone in here?!"
Before everyone else arrived, she quickly pulled it out; it was clearly a mobile phone prepared by the production team as a prize, from a brand of sponsors.
A power bank of the same brand was placed next to her. Liu Yaoyue plugged in the charging cable, pressed and held the power button, and after a few seconds, the screen lit up.
"It turns on! And there's a signal! -- Wait a minute, the app only has one live streaming function; besides that, it can only make phone calls. It's definitely something the production team is planning to use as a reward, like letting you contact your family if you win a task!"
Liu Yaoyue was overjoyed, while Gu Yao said anxiously, "Give it to me! I need to make a phone call!"
But Liu Yaoyue's gaze lingered on Gu Yao, and without hesitation, she stood up, grabbed her phone, and ran towards Tong Su.
"Shi... um, Sister Shi, this is for you!"
Gu Yao flew into a rage, glaring resentfully at Tong Su, then roared hoarsely at Liu Yaoyue, "What do you mean? I'm your captain! Do you want to betray our team?!"
His fierce outburst startled everyone, and Liu Yaoyue's face paled. But turning to look at Tong Su, as if drawing courage from her, she gritted her teeth and shouted:
"You're the team leader! Anyway, there are no cameras broadcasting live now, so I solemnly announce that I'm firing you! I'm not going to be a team member anymore! I'm going to join Shi Lingtong's team, and even if they don't want me, I'll stick with them no matter what!"
Gu Yao flew into a rage: "Liu Yaoyue!"
"What are you yelling for? I know my name! Gu Yao, what's there to be so proud of? As a team leader, you've never made a single right decision! You have absolutely no ability, how can you compare to Sister Shi?"
Her mocking voice fueled Gu Yao's anger even more, but she grew bolder with each word, turning her hand to point at Li Jing, who was watching the spectacle with schadenfreude, as she met his dark gaze:
"Li Jing, you're the same! Petty, narrow-minded, and mean-spirited, you use all your intelligence to frame others! You tried every means to trick Sister Shi, and in the end you got slapped in the face, don't you deserve it? What right do people like you have to be respected? You're not even worthy of carrying Sister Shi's shoes!"
Li Jing's face flushed red from the insults, and enraged, he raised his hand as if to slap her: "You bitch, say another word to me—"
Her hand was raised in mid-air, about to strike Liu Yaoyue's cheek, when it was suddenly grabbed by someone!
That hand was fair and slender, with fingers as delicate as scallions and pink nails, but it was as strong as an iron clamp, gripping her wrist so tightly that her arm went numb, while the hand didn't budge an inch.
Li Jing's wrist was throbbing with pain. He felt ashamed and angry, yet also involuntarily fearful. He looked up and looked away, but when he saw the person's face clearly, he was instantly stunned: "...Shi, Shi Lingtong?"
How could the person who stopped her be Shi Lingtong?
