"Then leave this matter to Gu Le, but tell him not to reveal my identity. I don't want people to know that I am the real boss of Zhengxin Entertainment."
Liusha responded and went to make a phone call.
Soon, a paparazzi reported a video of a celebrity cheating. Gossipy netizens immediately flocked to the celebrity's Weibo account, and the discussion surrounding Xiao Qingran's post was noticeably quieter. Those who enjoyed online arguments immediately turned to the celebrity's comments section. As a result, Xiao Qingran's comments section immediately returned to normal.
Xiao Qingran called Gu Le personally, just as he was about to praise his ability, but when this guy heard it, he immediately stammered and was speechless.
Xiao Qingran: "Are you dissatisfied with my verbal praise without any substantial support?"
When Gu Le heard this, he dared not hide it anymore. He immediately told the truth, "Boss, you misunderstood. I didn't help at all. After receiving Lao Sha's call, I was about to make a big move. I didn't expect that just as I was about to get the company's people to clean up the internet, the male star's infidelity was suddenly exposed by the paparazzi. This is really fate!"
Xiao Qingran was stunned: "Is it such a coincidence?" Even Xiao Qingran herself found it incredible.
"Who said it wasn't? I thought someone was secretly trying to steal my credit. But then I checked and found out it was the paparazzi who threatened the male celebrity for 80 million in hush money. He'd been threatened so many times that he just gave up and let it go."
Xiao Qingran frowned slightly. "Are all paparazzi like this nowadays? However, it's also because the male celebrity himself had problems with his conduct, and they were able to catch him. I can only say that both of them are not good people."
Gu Le nodded repeatedly.
"But they also indirectly helped me. Zhengxin should stop stepping on this male star's downfall. Restrain all the artists in the company and tell them not to add fuel to the fire."
There was no reason for Gu Le to refuse.
Two days later, City Lord Hua and Madam Hua took Hua Yuqi to formally go to the Wei family to propose marriage.
Patriarch Wei had been waiting at home since early morning. Seeing that City Lord Hua had brought so many goodies from the ancient martial arts world, his face was as smiling as a blooming chrysanthemum, and his smile almost froze.
City Lord Hua had initially assumed the marriage would be difficult to negotiate. Unexpectedly, the negotiations went incredibly smoothly. Soon, the Wei family leader and City Lord Hua were like family members who hadn't seen each other for decades, becoming close friends. Even Madam Wei, who had always been skeptical of Wei Ziqing marrying far away, hit it off with Madam Hua. Only Wei Zishu remained stoic throughout.
After the two parties confirmed the engagement date, the Hua family of three stayed at the Wei family for a meal before leaving.
Xiao Qingran was not surprised to hear that the two sides had already reached an agreement. The engagement was a week away. It just so happened that Xiao Qingran was participating in a food variety show on TV the day after Wei Ziqing's engagement party.
The old lady's hair, once gray, had recently turned a pale gray thanks to Xiao Qingran's elixirs. The wrinkles on her face were also slowly fading. Xiao Qingran had originally wanted to refine a beauty elixir for the old lady, one that would restore her to her thirties. But when Xiao Qingran told the old lady about this, she decisively refused. This made Xiao Qingran deeply admire the old lady's fortitude. Anyone wouldn't want to look younger, but the old lady resisted the temptation.
In her words, "Isn't it just about conditioning my body? When I can practice cultivation, I want to make myself younger through my own efforts. Not by taking pills."
Now, except for the old lady and Mr. Lu, all those in the Lu family who were previously tested as unable to practice or had poor talents are taking pills. Anyway, Xiao Qingran is fast at making pills, and a furnace of pills can contain at least hundreds of pills. Others are in short supply, but Xiao Qingran has more than enough to use up.
Soon, it was the day for Wei Ziqing and Hua Yuqi to get engaged.
After setting the engagement date, the Wei family head announced that Wei Ziqing would marry into the ancient martial arts world, specifically the son of a city lord. This immediately sparked curiosity among the entire upper class of Imperial Capital. Many also began to envy the Wei family head. Wei Ziqing was the first woman to marry into another world since the secular world and the ancient martial arts world opened up.
In order to demonstrate the strength of the Wei family, the head of the Wei family chose to hold the ceremony in a newly opened seven-star hotel.
The banquet went very smoothly without any accidents. It could be said that this was the first banquet that Xiao Qingran had attended since her rebirth, and she felt happy and at ease.
After the banquet, Wei Ziqing finally let down her guard and returned to the Wei family's home with the Wei family.
The next day, Xiao Qingran joined the food variety show group as scheduled.
Xiao Qingran's arrival made the food live broadcast program unprecedentedly popular.
Including Xiao Qingran, there were four food tasters in total. The first three were renowned culinary masters. If they said something was delicious, it was guaranteed to be delicious. Therefore, food lovers online were all following these masters.
The guests participating in the food preparation were all young and beautiful. Of the twelve guests, six were men and six were women. They were all around the same age as Xiao Qingran. Yet, they were confined to the lower seats, while Xiao Qingran sat with three masters who were over a hundred years old.
That's why, at the beginning of the show, one of the female guests looked at Xiao Qingran with eyes that were neither nose nor eyes. While she was cooking, she would occasionally glance at Xiao Qingran provocatively.
The four guests sent by Zhengxin Entertainment were so dedicated to cooking that the artists from other companies, who didn't receive any training, weren't much to look at. They thought they were just there for the show and hadn't considered taking the competition seriously.
Soon, the first round of the egg fried rice competition began. Half an hour later, everyone had theirs ready.
What Xiao Qingran didn't expect was that the female guest who hated her was the first to put the fried rice she made in front of her.
"Xiao Qingran, you probably don't remember who I am! I'm Han Yinyin, your classmate from kindergarten all the way to high school."
Xiao Qingran immediately found this person from the original owner's memory.
It's just that the Han Yinyin in the original owner's memory was a fat girl with a very ordinary appearance. But the person before him was so thin that it was almost a world away from her. If Xiao Qingran didn't know she was Han Yinyin, she couldn't imagine if the person before her was someone else.
However, the traces of artificial sculpting on Han Yinyin's figure were particularly obvious, especially on her face and chest. It looked truly bizarre. I wonder if there was something wrong with Xiao Qingran's aesthetic sense. While others might consider her figure to be excellent, with large breasts, a plump hip, and an ant-thin waist, Xiao Qingran saw her as a freak.
