Chapter 132 Dude, are you divorced yet?
Huo's was an advertiser that joined before the fourth live broadcast. Shi Nian had heard Fu Jinyan say that Huo's would also be involved in the subsequent artist development.
So it's perfectly normal for them to come and confirm things like advertisements now.
However... Shi Nian kept thinking about what happened this morning.
Shi Nian turned to look at Xu Beibei, but she had already looked away.
"Because of the Huo family?" Shi Nian asked.
Xu Beibei gritted her teeth, seeing that the other party had already seen through her, and she didn't try to hide anything.
"You dare to say you don't want to cooperate with the Huo family?" Xu Beibei said. "The Huo family controls the gemstone and luxury goods industry, which is of great help to our business. Usually, other Huo family staff are enough to handle things, but this time the young master came in person to oversee things, which shows that he attaches great importance to it!"
"Furthermore," Xu Beibei glanced at Shi Nian strangely, "you should know that although the Huo family is only one of the three major giants in City A, it's very mysterious... Why am I telling you so much!"
Shi Nian smiled, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
Shi Nian was certainly more aware of all this than Xu Beibei.
It's not just the Huo family.
Both the Lu and Fu families have their own trump cards.
Otherwise, how could they establish themselves in City A?
"I will not withdraw from the competition." Shi Nian said to Xu Beibei. She knew that Xu Beibei's mentality had changed due to a series of changes, which was normal.
"In the final, we'll each rely on our own abilities," Shi Nian said.
"You!" Xu Beibei was angry and reached out to remove the mask Shi Nian was wearing, as if she wanted to see who the face under the mask really was.
Shi Nian realized Xu Beibei's intention first and shook off Xu Beibei's hand.
"That's going too far," Shi Nian warned.
Xu Beibei pursed her lips tightly and stared intently at Shi Nian.
“I’m not as unreasonable as you,” Xu Beibei said. “Aren’t you backed by Fu Jinyan? Everyone in the industry knows you’re Fu Jinyan’s person!”
Shi Nian looked at Xu Beibei, who had always thought Xu Beibei was a very cute person.
But she thought she had misjudged him.
When there are no absolute conflicts of interest, everyone can probably treat each other with respect.
However, conflicts will arise once interests clash.
"Fu Jinyan and I are just business partners," Shi Nian explained calmly, regardless of whether the other party believed her or not.
But Xu Beibei just sneered.
Clearly, they don't believe it.
"My stage is worthy of my ranking." Shi Nian ignored Xu Beibei's attitude, but she wanted to make things clear.
"Even if you want to argue, it's useless." Xu Beibei sneered, "Yining, you can't get rid of the stigma of fraudulent donations and power-for-sex transactions. Your reputation is already ruined."
“You might be able to handle Fu Jinyan, but the Huo family and netizens have sharp eyes.”
"The Huo family intervened midway this time because they valued the show's potential and the contestants' abilities."
"You can't rise to power through underhanded means forever. I will definitely get my hands on the Huo family's resources!"
Shi Nian looked at Xu Beibei with pity.
Xu Beibei's ability is what enabled her to get second place.
But she was lying through her teeth.
"Teacher Yining, this side is ready, you can come over for the rehearsal now," a staff member called out.
Shi Nian picked up her equipment and glanced at Xu Beibei again.
"You know perfectly well that I was suppressed in the first two episodes. Is this what you mean by me getting ahead through crooked means?"
After saying that, Shi Nian went to the stage to make adjustments.
You can never wake someone who is pretending to be asleep.
Some people have reached a dead end, so there's no point in saying more.
Han Wei was there too, of course.
This time, however, Han Wei did not come to talk to Shi Nian or cause her any trouble.
This puzzled Shi Nian.
Han Wei merely glanced at her with a smug and disdainful look before heading backstage.
When Han Wei went backstage, she saw Xu Beibei looking sullen.
However, she didn't care about Xu Beibei.
Normally, she would say a few sarcastic remarks about that damned woman, Yining.
But after the blackmail incident came out, she didn't dare to speak out of turn.
Who knows if there are any other hidden recording devices nearby?
Even if Yining doesn't withdraw from the competition, so what?
Yining's reputation is completely ruined.
As long as Yining dares to go on stage, she dares to let Yining experience what it's like to be cyberbullied!
A mere canary dares to challenge her!
She had only let her off the hook temporarily because she wanted to cooperate with the other party to suppress her.
Did you think you could stay lucky forever?
Oh!
...
It was a busy day.
Shi Nian has a very full schedule.
She has too many things to do and is simply too busy to manage them all.
She knew that after taking off her mask in a few days, she would be essentially declaring war on Lu Yanzhi and Han Wei.
Huo Yanmo's words kept coming to mind.
Even if she has planned it countless times, will it really go smoothly?
She knew better than anyone how powerful the Lu family was.
After the rehearsal ended, she didn't go to greet Huo Yanmo.
But as she was leaving, she noticed that the other person was looking at her.
After thinking it over, considering that the Huo family was, after all, the advertiser, Shi Nian nodded slightly as a sign of politeness, then turned and left.
Just the right amount of politeness, a very ordinary greeting.
No one, anywhere, would know that he had proposed to her just hours earlier.
Huo Yanmo smiled silently.
That's really quite unfamiliar.
But it's okay, he's not in a hurry, he can take his time.
After the rehearsal, staff members and contestants came over to greet him, all very warmly welcoming him, which Huo Yanmo responded to calmly.
Han Wei and Xu Beibei also came over to say hello.
However, Huo Yanmo's attitude did not change much. But when he looked up again, he found that Shi Nian had already disappeared around the corner.
Shi Nian knew that Huo Yanmo was watching her.
But she didn't want to stay.
Since you've already temporarily rejected them this morning, don't drag things out or leave things ambiguous.
Thinking about it, Shi Nian felt she should relax for a while.
I've been so stressed lately.
She was too stressed about the divorce before, but now that it's over, she should relax.
Thinking about it, Shi Nian opened her phone and saw the address that Fu Jinyan had posted in the group chat for tonight.
Fu Jinyan: This is to celebrate being single, how about we go to PIH? Let's book a private room, we can drink and chat there, and we can also go down to the dance floor to dance.
Lin Zhihuan immediately replied: Okay, okay, I've wanted to go for a long time. I heard that the quality of handsome guys there is very high, but my brother has always prevented me from going!
Lin Yu-chen: Lin Zhi-huan!
Lin Zhihuan: Brother, so many of us are going together, it's not like I'm going alone. Besides, I didn't say what to order, I just mentioned it.
Qiqian: Yeah, yeah, I want to go too!
Finally, Fu Jinyan asked: Shi Nian, what do you think? This time you're the main character.
Shi Nian thought about it and decided that going to PIH would be fine. Everyone wanted to go, and they were all in their 20s, so it would be fine as long as they didn't bring any underage children.
So she replied in the group: Okay, see you at PIH tonight!
Meanwhile, on the other side, Lu Yanzhi's phone vibrated.
After a busy day, Lu Yanzhi checked his phone and saw it was a message from Yu Yiyang.
"Hey bro, got divorced? wanna come over to PIH for drinks?"
