But when he thought of the girl from the mud factory's skills, his brows slowly relaxed.
She won't lose, nor will she let anyone else gain the upper hand.
The others on the stage, noticing An Yang's actions, were all stunned and stared at her blankly.
The production team doesn't say anything about the show's content or what's happening online, but everyone knows perfectly well what's going on. Now, An Yang's actions have pushed things to a climax.
Is this... about to start a public feud?
Qi Jiu, the person involved, remained completely calm despite watching An Yang's actions. However, the other party seemed to have some ulterior motive, always aiming for her collar whenever An Yang attacked.
The girl quickly noticed this, seemingly not understanding what she was trying to do, and deliberately let her grab her collar. Seeing An Yang's smug smile, Qi Jiu immediately grabbed her wrist, rendering her unable to move.
On this side, no matter how hard An Yang tried to break free, he couldn't. Feeling the force and pain in his wrist, his facial features involuntarily began to distort.
What's going on?! How can this woman have such a strong grip?! I was so close to success! Just one step away from embarrassing her!
"Is that all you've got?"
Qi Jiu saw through An Yang's attempt to expose her, and gripped her wrist even tighter.
"You...let go! It hurts!"
The two participated in the game, but for safety reasons, they did not have microphones. Because of this, no one else could hear their conversation except each other.
"Let go? Fine." The girl smiled eerily.
"Tear!"
Qi Jiu indeed let go. Before An Yang could make any move, a 'ripping' sound was heard, and the name tag on An Yang's back was torn off.
An Yang was stunned, and everyone present was stunned as well.
What's going on? They lost way too fast, and...
Just now, during the name tag ripping game, due to the angle, Qi Jiu's arm was stretched out next to her neck. With this pull, as the name tag fell off, it pulled forward on her collar, revealing her underwear.
"This...this..."
Chong Yu was so excited that he started stammering. He knew that Qi Jiu was not someone to be trifled with, but he didn't expect that this guy would dare to do this directly in front of the camera!
They're both celebrities; isn't this tantamount to letting another celebrity expose themselves on camera? There are so many eyes watching!
Moreover, this variety show is broadcast live, so there's no way to edit or re-record it!
"An Yang out!"
A-Yang's voice brought An-Yang's voice back to her. She looked at the name tag in the girl's hand and unconsciously clenched her teeth.
That bitch! How dare she treat her like that!
In the very end, An Yang left the stage with a look of deep resentment.
The others realized what was happening and joined in the game.
The variety show has just aired, and just as Qi Jiu expected, this episode's viewership is indeed higher than the previous ones, and by more than a little bit—almost double that of the previous episodes.
The director was overjoyed with the number of views. He practically wanted to keep Qi Jiu around on the show every day.
With the release of the movie and the explosive popularity of the variety show, Qi Jiu's Weibo followers have been rising steadily.
However, she discovered another problem: she was receiving too many private messages from fans.
"Sister Qi, what we're saying is, we've applied for a Weibo account, and we're even verified as a big V, are we really not going to post a single update...?"
"Sister, please post something! This is the first time in all my years of following celebrities that I've seen an artist's Weibo account completely blank! If you don't have a selfie, at least post something else!"
"Sis, please, I'm begging you, just post something! It doesn't matter if it's a selfie or not..."
Qi Jiu: "..."
What's so special about posting this?
"Sister Qi! You're famous! My goodness, you're the first artist I've ever worked with! I never expected you to become famous so quickly!"
Fan Yiteng appeared in Qi Jiu's office, and fearing that she wouldn't believe him, he held his phone up to her face. On the short video app, there were clips of her everywhere. No matter how you scrolled down, all you saw were clips of her.
She's the girl playing games on variety shows, the girl tearing name tags, and the girl playing an assassin in movies...
She's in almost eight out of ten videos.
Fan Yi was taken aback when she saw her expressionless face.
Are you unhappy?
The girl nodded. "Happy."
Fan Yi: "..." I really didn't realize you were happy.
"Ding ding!"
The phone on her desk started vibrating incessantly. Qi Jiu glanced at the contact name and answered without hesitation.
"Qi Silin?"
I don't know when it started, but the two of them changed from the most polite "President Qi" to each other's names.
Upon hearing this address, Fan Yi instinctively left the office.
"Qiqi, are you free tonight? Grandpa misses you and would like to invite you over for dinner."
Qi Jiu looked at her already packed schedule for the evening and said without batting an eye, "I have time."
Wang De, who had just arrived at the office and overheard the two talking, was speechless.
Are your eyes really okay? This schedule is already full! Where is there any time?
"Okay, then I'll be waiting for you downstairs at Xingyue Tower at six o'clock sharp."
After hanging up the phone, Qi Jiu continued working without looking up, seemingly unaware that there was another person in front of her.
Wang De looked at Qi Jiu, who was ignoring him, and patiently said, "President Qi, our meeting tonight..."
"Cancel it."
"All of them?" Wang De was stunned, looking at Qi Jiu with a questioning look in his eyes.
"all."
Wang De: "..."
How come I didn't realize before that President Qi was a love-struck fool? He even skipped work that night just to have a meal with Qi Silin.
Evening work is very important, you know!
Qi Jiu didn't know what Wang De was thinking, but she was thinking about the task the old man had given her before she came to China.
The last time she went to the Qi family, in order not to make her purpose too obvious, she only asked a few probing questions.
It's been found out that Qi Silin's parents are currently on vacation abroad, and only he and his grandfather are in China. The Qi family has been in business for generations without any major incidents.
There were no restricted areas in the Qi family's old mansion, meaning that anyone could freely enter and exit this large residence. Based on her previous visit to the Qi family home, she was certain that there were no secret passages or hidden places within the Qi family compound.
So, is what that old man wanted really in the Qi family?
She didn't know what the old man wanted, but the fact that he gave her this task proved that it was definitely not an ordinary item, and could even be more valuable than something from an auction house.
However, it seems that the Qi family does not have a dedicated place to protect this item.
