Ji Qian was the second person to arrive at the scene; the first person to arrive was the well-known host Zhao Chengyuan.
Zhao Chengyuan is known in the industry as a kind and charitable person with high emotional intelligence. Although Ji Qian's seniority is much lower than his, he still took the initiative to get up and greet her when he saw her coming over.
Ji Qian was participating in a variety show for the first time and was a little uncomfortable. After greeting Zhao Chengyuan, she didn't know what to say. Zhao Chengyuan noticed her embarrassment and took the initiative to start a conversation, and the atmosphere on set was quite good for a while.
The third guest was Han Mengyao. Unlike the somewhat reserved Ji Qian, Han Mengyao, who is known for her lively and cheerful image in the entertainment industry, greeted Zhao Chengyuan first after entering, and then ran to Ji Qian who was standing to the side.
"Qianqian, it's been so long! I missed you so much~" Han Mengyao was half a head shorter than Ji Qian, and she pounced right into Ji Qian's arms. Even though it was a sweet girl throwing herself into Ji Qian's arms, Ji Qian felt a chill.
Although there were some strange rumors before, Ji Qian and Han Mengyao actually have a good relationship in private.
In Ji Qian's memory, Han Mengyao had always been a gentle and beautiful older sister. This was the first time she had seen Han Mengyao's lively and sweet persona at work, and she was immediately stimulated to the point of getting goosebumps.
Finding that Ji Qian didn't answer, Han Mengyao looked up and asked playfully, "Qianqian, don't you miss me?" The camera then gave a close-up, and the comments section instantly erupted into chaos.
[Ahhhhhh, Mommy misses you! My little darling, come to me!]
【Yaoyao is so cute~】
Is Ji Qian mute? Yao Yao is asking you a question!
Didn't they have a rumored romance before?
【Pah, pah, pah! What scandal? Ji Qian is just trying to piggyback on Yao Yao's fame!】
[Yaoyao is so kind. She must have felt sorry for Ji Qian being criticized and wanted to help clear her name.]
Don't try to defend her; every single one of Ji Qian's scandals has solid evidence.
[Yeah, Yao Yao, get away quickly, don't let Ji Qian touch you!]
Although Ji Qian felt a little uncomfortable, she was friends with Han Mengyao after all, and she had to cooperate with her if Han Mengyao wanted to do something.
Thinking this, Ji Qian reached out and hugged Han Mengyao back, saying, "Of course I missed you!" while picking Han Mengyao up and starting to spin her around.
Ji Qian spun incredibly fast, sending Han Mengyao's legs flying through the air. The surrounding directors and Zhao Chengyuan stared in astonishment at this sight.
Han Mengyao was already used to Ji Qian's superhuman strength. She calmly patted Ji Qian's arm, and Ji Qian stopped, gently putting her back on the ground.
Han Mengyao exchanged a few more pleasantries with Zhao Chengyuan, who was standing to the side, and soon the fourth guest arrived.
The fourth guest, Ying Xu, is a newly debuted idol singer who just turned 19 and is the youngest among the guests.
Ji Qian had seen his viral videos before, and he did have a flamboyant youthful vibe that was very attractive, but Ji Qian didn't expect that even his entrance would be so unique.
Since the recording location for this episode was an old house, the opening scene was chosen at the entrance of the village where the old house is located.
Because of its remote location, the village is not fully developed. The roads are still uneven dirt roads. Ji Qian, Han Mengyao, and Zhao Chengyuan all got off the bus and walked in.
Unlike Ying Xu, he pushed his own wheelchair in.
This shows that the production team is really inhuman; they didn't even arrange for someone to push the wheelchair!
As she was internally complaining, Ji Qian suddenly realized that everyone was turning to look at her. Han Mengyao next to her tugged at her sleeve and whispered, "You just said it out loud."
[Haha, this is the first time I've seen someone so openly and blatantly criticize the production team.]
[Waaaa, my kind daughter is still reminding her!]
What happened to Ying Xu? Why is he in a wheelchair?
[I don't know, Ying Xu was fine when he had his concert a couple of days ago.]
Could it be Ji Qian's doing? Isn't it rumored that she's keeping... you know... as a mistress?
[Don't try to piggyback on my fame, my brother doesn't even know Ji Qian.]
Ji Qian couldn't see the comments, but she felt a chill run down her spine. Liu Xia's angry face seemed to reappear before her eyes. Ji Qian panicked and subconsciously stepped forward to push Ying Xu's wheelchair over. Then, she naturally changed the subject: "Hello Ying Xu, come and say hello to everyone!"
Sitting in his wheelchair, Ying Xu looked completely bewildered. He subconsciously cooperated with Ji Qian, greeting Zhao Chengyuan and Han Mengyao respectively, and then, in a daze, he was pushed to the center by everyone.
Ying Xu looked at Zhao Chengyuan, who had pushed him to the middle, and quickly offered to give up his seat. Zhao Chengyuan pressed down on the wheelchair, saying, "Ying Xu, your leg is injured. It's easier for the camera to move you from this position." Ying Xu declined a few more times, but Zhao Chengyuan had no choice but to use his seniority as an excuse, and Ying Xu reluctantly agreed.
Just as the two were declining each other's invitations, the fifth and sixth guests finally arrived late.
The fifth guest is Xu Qi, who once had a nude encounter with Ji Qian, and the sixth guest is Mi Yesi, the female lead of Xu Qi's new drama.
Ji Qian didn't know Mi Yesi, but she was quite familiar with Xu Qi. From a distance, she could tell that Xu Qi was in a low mood, so she turned to Han Mengyao and whispered, "Why do I feel like Xu Qi is a little unhappy?"
Han Mengyao's eyes lit up instantly upon hearing this, but mindful of the cameras, she could only tiptoe, cover her mouth, and whisper her reply:
"Didn't you see what Xu Qi posted in the group? The girl next to him, Mi Yesi, is the female lead in his new drama. She's always wanted to create a CP (couple pairing) with him, but Xu Qi refused. I guess she came here this time to promote her new drama and couldn't avoid it."
Ji Qian had been so busy with gossip lately that she hadn't had a chance to check the news. Now, hearing some juicy gossip, she got excited and pulled Han Mengyao aside for a detailed discussion, but was interrupted by a woman's voice.
"You must be Ji Qian. I've seen the news about you and Xu Qi. You two must be very good friends."
Even the slow-witted Ji Qian could sense the hostility in Mi Yesi's words. Looking at Xu Qi, who stood to the side with a weathered face, she suddenly spoke sharply: "Who are you?" Since she was already planning to retire from the entertainment industry, she wasn't afraid of getting more negative press.
Moreover, Ji Qian wasn't entirely lying. She enjoys watching variety shows but doesn't watch many dramas, so she doesn't know many actors. If she hadn't done her research beforehand, she really wouldn't have known who this Mi Yesi was.
This Mi Yesi was clearly not a seasoned "green tea" (a manipulative woman), and she couldn't take Ji Qian's directness. She was about to explode when the production team quickly interrupted her.
"Alright, welcome to our six guests on 'Into the Truth.' Our program is divided into six segments. Each segment will take a week to explore and uncover the truth at various locations where stories or accidents have occurred. We hope everyone will pay attention to safety during the exploration process."
