On the night before the show ended, she used the excuse of going to the restroom to take out the phone of the female director that she had previously hidden near the new camp.
She managed to steal this during a previous argument with the female director, and with her fast hand speed, no one could tell anything during the live stream.
This island isn't exactly deserted; it has a cell tower.
She sent all the photos, videos, and screenshots from her phone to a gossip magazine's public email address, and a backup was also sent to her own private email address. Then she destroyed the phone and buried it in the ground.
After Xia Yixin and her team changed the location of their hunting traps, Qiang Ge's team could no longer "steal" from them.
After enduring hunger, Qiang Ge became increasingly irritable and later had a dispute with the production team over food.
The system notification reads, "Punishing the cold-blooded and ruthless production team is 50% complete. The production team's reputation is beginning to change!"
"The goal of ruining the reputation of the perverted Brother Qiang is 20% complete, but some people have already realized that he's just putting on a fake persona!"
On the morning of the eighth day, the yacht that was there to pick them up arrived.
Su Yan had other matters to attend to, so the helicopter took her away directly, prompting Hao Jie to say sourly, "Ninth Master really has his eye on this newcomer; he even sent a helicopter from the Qin Group. Could it be that Ninth Master hasn't married all these years because he actually prefers men?"
Her words resonated with many others.
Brother Qiang, being quite shrewd, quickly said, "Don't talk nonsense!"
Actually, there are quite a few "Qin Su CP fans" online now, but officially, Qin Jiuye has never acknowledged it, and recently Yan Yiran publicly stated that "if Su Yan were a girl, she would be my ideal type".
This also sparked a lot of arguments among fans.
After saying goodbye to Su Yan, who was ostensibly a newcomer but actually had powerful connections, the production team felt much more relaxed.
However, the two groups showed a clear divergence.
The twenty people who followed Xia Yixin were fair-skinned and plump, while those who stayed with Brother Qiang were dark-skinned and thin.
The banquet will begin three days later, after all, we need to give the production team time for editing.
Xia Yixin retrieved her phone and returned to her room, a standard room. Her previous agency hadn't assigned a dedicated agent, so she was alone.
The yacht set sail, gradually moving away from the island.
She opened her phone and first received a message from Su Yan.
【Yixin, I've gained three pounds, I hate you!】
Xia Yixin smiled and replied with a :) emoji before hearing the system notification: "Ding, the female lead's favorability is 70. Host is awesome!"
Haha, so the original female lead is a tsundere.
She then looked at the other information.
There are several text messages.
“Xia, your brother needs some money for school. If you have any spare cash, please send us some money. Our account number is 216******” – Aunt Li.
"Xia, the village needs to repair the road. You need to transfer the money over quickly. We need 100,000 yuan!" — Li Fugui.
Xia Yixin looked at these text messages, her eyes filled with cold indifference.
The original owner came from a mountain village, so it's understandable that he was grateful to his hometown. However, those so-called honest villagers and relatives went even further. Road repair? Haha, they repair it every year, but I've never seen any work done.
These money all ended up in the pockets of the villagers.
As for that Aunt Li, she was even more disgusting. She had two sons and often took advantage of the original owner of the body, just because the original owner had once eaten a meal at her house.
Xia Yixin promptly and decisively added these people's phone numbers to her blacklist.
She remembered that the original owner had some IOUs from those people, totaling more than 500,000 yuan. She planned to go back and find a law firm to resolve the matter.
She also sent a message to her agency to confirm the time to return to the company to terminate her contract. The other party was vague and seemed to be reluctant to let her go because of her high popularity these days.
But Xia Yixin didn't give the other party a chance and finalized the time and place.
She felt that the original owner was only eighteen years old and it was wrong to give up her studies, so she terminated the contract and decided to take the college entrance examination first.
Good heavens, I wonder how much of her Chinese, math, and history knowledge she can remember...
She ruffled her hair.
Strangely, she noticed that the gossip magazine hadn't made a move. Was it wary of the production team?
Xia Yixin found it a bit strange, but she had a backup in her email, and she was prepared to post it online if all else failed.
I took a nice, relaxing bath and even soaked in the tub.
Su Yan's phone suddenly rang.
"My agent lectured me for a whole hour, and I have to go through grueling training next week. I hate you!" Su Yan's words were full of accusation.
"Hehe, who was it that said they couldn't gain weight and weren't afraid before? Humph, they got the benefits and are still acting innocent. But you can't take off your clothes anyway, so it doesn't matter if you're a little chubby or thin." Xia Yixin replied lazily.
The warm water and modern equipment made her extremely happy.
"That's what I said too, but I'm about to shoot a music video for my album, and she insists I can't look fat on camera. Sigh... By the way, are you free? I'd like to invite you to be the female lead in my music video~"
"I won't do any scenes with intimate moments. I'm straight, thank you."
"Get lost! I'm straight too. I just think it'll be easier for us to get along if you know my situation. How about it? The pay is pretty good."
"Hmm, let me think about it. I also need to terminate my contract with the company..."
Suddenly, I heard the sound of a door being unlocked outside.
Alarm bells immediately went off in her head. Was the production team up to cause trouble again, or was Brother Qiang trying to frame her?
She straightened up and deliberately said, "Aren't you going to release an album? Sing a few songs, please?"
"Hehe, okay, I'll sing you the song I wrote myself..."
Su Yan loved to sing, and using her singing to cover up the sound of water, she quickly got out of the bathtub, dried herself off, put on her underwear, and tied her bathrobe around her waist.
She glanced around and picked up a glass from the bathroom.
At that moment, the unlocked bathroom door was opened.
Xia Yixin hid behind the door, suddenly pulled open the bathroom door, and before the other person could react, smashed a glass over his forehead.
Whoosh!
Caught off guard, the other person was stunned by the cup, and his straight nose was about to receive a punch.
He swiftly grabbed her wrist and pinned her against the wall.
Xia Yixin hadn't expected it to be a good-looking man, and he even looked familiar... Wait, isn't this him?
"Master Qin?!" She was so shocked that she forgot to resist.
The man narrowed his dark eyes, staring intently at her. "I'll give you one more chance."
Xia Yixin's pupils contracted. In the dim light, the mature and handsome man's deep eyes seemed to hold stars, but the familiar cold fragrance and the wolf-like aura in his eyes told her his identity.
She couldn't believe it. "Lu Yan?" She paused, then immediately realized the problem and shoved him away. "How come you're the male lead?"
Lu Yan raised an eyebrow. "That's all you wanted to say, huh?"
Under his deep gaze, Xia Yixin scratched her face guiltily, "Um..."
