Chapter 105 A Wealthy Family's Vastness! Qu He's Humble Request for Love?
The surprise live stream incident this morning was not part of the contract Qu He signed.
She frowned as she looked at the trending topics on her phone.
Qu He sent a WeChat message directly to the production team, demanding a reasonable explanation.
A few minutes later, the producer and director came to apologize.
"Teacher Qu He, we really didn't know President Zhuang would come back last night. If we had known, we definitely wouldn't have scheduled the live stream this morning..."
As they talked, they searched for Zhuang Bieyan.
Qu He sat on the sofa, listened to their feeble explanations, and a cold smile curled at the corner of her lips.
It really is capital.
Ultimately, the production team's humble apology isn't a sign of acknowledging their mistake; it's simply out of fear of Zhuang Bieyan's wrath.
The production team proposed several solutions, but their eyes remained fixed on Zhuang Bieyan, who was sitting next to Qu He.
It seems that in their eyes, as long as Zhuang Bieyan agrees and understands, that's enough; Qu He's thoughts are irrelevant.
To their surprise, Zhuang Bieyan acted as if he didn't see them from the moment they entered the room.
Throughout the entire process, he was baking bread and frying eggs in the open kitchen. The producer and director tried to greet him several times, but they never got the chance.
They were about to get up when they finally saw him coming, but he ignored them and sat down next to Qu He.
"The bread is ready, eat it while it's hot."
Qu He understood the meaning behind his words, got up and left to have breakfast.
As soon as she left, Zhuang Bieyan's aura changed instantly, as if his previous gentleness had been an illusion.
Even though he was still wearing the same pajamas, he exuded a suffocating oppression.
The producer wiped away a bead of sweat and cautiously began, "Mr. Zhuang, how would you like to resolve this? We're all open to discussion and will definitely cooperate with your requests..."
Zhuang Bieyan glanced at Qu He, who was eating, and smiled with satisfaction after seeing that she had obediently finished the bread on her plate.
The producer saw the smile on his lips and thought things were turning around, but the next second he turned around and his eyes instantly turned cold. He said coldly, "In our family, my wife makes the decisions."
Producer: "...."
director:"...."
One sentence completely froze them.
Qu He didn't know what Zhuang Bieyan and the production team had said, but they apologized to her again before leaving, much more sincerely than the night before, and their attitude was noticeably more respectful.
Qu He looked at Zhuang Bieyan with a puzzled expression, "What did you say to them? Why did your attitude change so much?"
Zhuang Bieyan stepped forward and ruffled her hair. "It's nothing. I just explained to them the consequences of bullying my wife."
Sure enough, before the recording of the program began, the production team of "Chengqi" posted on Weibo. First, they apologized to Qu He for what happened last night, then admitted the mistake of the surprise live broadcast in the morning, and finally promised that one-third of the proceeds from the program would be donated to the cause of Chinese ceramic art research after the program airs.
This move further boosted the popularity of the show "Chengqi" to a new level, with related topics trending on Weibo.
After makeup and hair were done, the recording of the show began. This time, after discussing with all the guests, the production team decided to only broadcast live during normal recording sessions and added many formal pottery segments, no longer daring to use the gimmicks of the past.
After what happened that morning, Zhuang Bieyan now had a legitimate reason to appear on set with Qu He and become her assistant.
During a brief break in the live broadcast, the camera briefly caught a glimpse of Zhuang Bieyan not far behind Qu He, holding a small fan in one hand and a water cup in the other.
At first, the staff were quite nervous when they saw Zhuang Bieyan appear, fearing that if they accidentally displeased President Zhuang, they would be blacklisted in the industry.
But soon everyone noticed that Zhuang Bieyan's gaze was always fixed on Qu He, as if Qu He was the only one in his eyes, and everyone else was just background.
More importantly, Zhuang Bieyan's arrival led to a significant improvement in the treatment of the entire production team.
It was already the hottest time of August, yet he thoughtfully bought everyone cold drinks, arranged for standing air conditioners, and even had lunch delivered custom-made.
The entire production team, from the director and cameramen to the guests and staff, expressed their gratitude. Everyone treated Qu He with great respect, calling her "Sister Qu He" and "Teacher Qu He" with exceptional warmth.
Even those watching the live stream, through their screens, could sense the shift in people's attitudes towards Qu He:
It feels so good to have someone backing you up, so soft and sweet.
[Zhuang Bieyan is so good to Qu He! It turns out there's true love even in wealthy families. I'm never reading another angst-filled romance novel on Qimao again! I only want sweet stories!]
[Hey upstairs, you also read on Qimao! I recommend a sweet romance novel called "Ten Years of Unrequited Love, Mr. Zhuang Can't Hide It Anymore"! I vote for and tip this book every day.]
[How wonderful! After being treated like a beast of burden for so long, I just want to see this kind of sweet love.]
[Hehehe, all I can say is you guys are too naive. Go check Weibo, it's all a show put on by capital, only people like you would take it seriously.]
When the production team saw this comment, a video posted by an anonymous account on Weibo suddenly topped the list of "Chengqi" super topic.
The title is #The Rich and Powerful Are Like the Sea! Qu He humbly begs for love? Zhuang Bieyan coldly accepts.#
The video is about 30 seconds long and was probably filmed secretly during a break in the recording of the program.
In the video, Qu He was holding Zhuang Bieyan's hand as if pleading for something, but Zhuang Bieyan's expression was serious. He took a few steps forward, and Qu He ran up to him, grabbed his hand, and shook her head desperately.
In the last few seconds of the video, Qu He is sitting alone in a chair drinking water from a thermos, while everyone around her is drinking milk tea. She looks very lonely.
The photographer took the picture from the second floor, at a tricky angle and from a distance, but you can clearly see Qu He's humble and pitiful appearance.
The video was quickly shared in the [Yanqu CP] super topic.
Where are all those people who claimed to be promoting genuine marital relationships? They know they've been fooled, right? It was all an act for them!
[Qu He is so pitiful. She married into a wealthy family but isn't even allowed to drink a cup of milk tea; she can only drink water from her own thermos.]
[This shows how treacherous life can be in the wealthy; Qu He seems quite humble.]
Although the super topic moderator quickly deleted the post, some fans were still influenced and misled.
[No way, real couples can break up? I finally found a couple I was genuinely shipping.]
[Heh, if you keep shipping couples, I'm a dog!]
Perhaps we should wait for an explanation; what if it's a misunderstanding?
This video has gone viral on Weibo, as if someone bought the trending topic. The hashtag #QuHeHumblePleaForLove# has directly climbed into the top three of the entertainment list.
After seeing the secretly filmed video, the production team immediately contacted Qu He and Zhuang Bieyan.
After the live broadcast incident in the morning and the filming and recording throughout the morning, everyone present understood Qu He's position in Zhuang Bieyan's heart, and they were afraid that if this matter was not handled well, they would completely offend this big shot.
After a half-hour emergency meeting, the official Weibo account of "Chengqi" quickly released a behind-the-scenes video, which recorded the entire process from another perspective.
