Chapter 10
The director was afraid that the two would say something shocking again, so he cast a threatening look at Gu Yunshuang, trying to secretly put pressure on him with the new entertainment.
Unexpectedly, Gu Yunshuang turned away and pretended not to see anything.
Qi Yue sneered, "You don't need to put pressure on Shuangshuang. Although Shuangshuang and Sister Hua can't speak out about many things due to their contracts, they can only cooperate with your arrangements. But I'm different. I haven't signed any contracts with your production team or Xinchao Entertainment. I think this so-called mission is clearly aimed at us, Shuangshuang.
"Ah, that's not necessarily the case. I didn't see the others acting just now. Is there a possibility that they really didn't see us at the time? Could it be a supernatural incident? I remember there's a supernatural phenomenon called ghost covering the eyes, which can be used by any little ghost. Could we have encountered a ghost?"
Qi Yue took a deep breath, suddenly looked at Xue Tinghe, and asked in a fake tone: "Master Xue, what do you think?"
What Xue Tinghe couldn't stand the most was someone challenging his metaphysical prowess, especially Qi Yue. He disliked him the moment he saw him. Facing Qi Yue's provocative question, he coldly retorted without a second thought, "Impossible! There's not a trace of Yin energy here, let alone a little devil who could act so arrogantly in front of me and not let me detect it."
It was too late for the director to stop it, so he could only close his eyes helplessly.
Qi Yue looked at him with a smile, which showed the confidence that everything was under control.
This Qi Yue is definitely not simple!
The director secretly became more alert to Qi Yue, but at the same time, he did not dare to delay any longer. The longer the conflict here lasted, the more people would enter the live broadcast room. After a long time, the truth that they had covered up would probably be dug out again.
They also thought about temporarily shutting down the live broadcast or playing advertisements, but the live broadcast room was out of control and no matter what they did, they couldn't do anything. The staff were all trembling with fear. If the director hadn't strictly prohibited it, they would have rushed into the bus and asked Xue Tinghe for protection.
Qi Yue's meaning was very clear. They could continue to find excuses to shirk responsibility, but he could also drag Xue Tinghe into the matter.
"Oh, yes, I remembered it wrong. Qi Yue's name was indeed written on the contract. I must have remembered it wrongly. This mission was my personal idea. I was not thoughtful enough. I only wanted to make it a highlight to boost the ratings, but I didn't consider any negative impact on individual guests. Teacher Gu, I'm sorry."
The director bowed his head and apologized solemnly to Gu Yunshuang, then bowed sincerely to the other guests one by one to apologize, and promised that the subsequent task arrangements would be carefully considered and strive to be fair and just, and such a thing would not happen again.
He also proposed to give compensation to Gu Yunshuang and Qi Yue, and asked what kind of compensation they wanted.
Qi Yue smiled: "If the director really wants to compensate Shuangshuang, he should assign a few more capable room managers to manage the live broadcast room's barrage. If I'm not mistaken, those barrages attacking me and Shuangshuang personally haven't been deleted yet, right?"
director:……
The director could only apologize again, and then quickly arranged for the room manager to silence and ban the black fan.
Qi Yue didn't insist on it anymore, and the matter was just over.
The director secretly breathed a sigh of relief, finally getting the blame he'd hoped for. He didn't care how badly he was criticized online. He was a director, not a star, and what director didn't get criticized? As long as he had the Jiang family behind him, they would ensure his smooth rise to the top.
As for Qi Yue and Gu Yunshuang, just wait for him, the director thought secretly with resentment.
Qi Yue sensed his resentment and smiled faintly without saying anything. He would take the blame a second or third time after taking it once, and the director was nothing more than a cannon fodder that could be abandoned at any time.
After seeing this, Sun Jiayuan was finally sure that his benefactor's strength was far beyond his imagination. At least Xue Tinghe was like a grandson in front of him, and he didn't even notice when he was attacked right in front of him.
In other words, what was a big deal for Xue Tinghe was just a small matter for his benefactor.
She seemed to be thinking about something. Her benefactor was Gu Yunshuang's childhood sweetheart. They grew up together and seemed to have a very good relationship. Her benefactor was very protective of Gu Yunshuang.
So the benefactor must have wanted to protect Gu Yunshuang and help her clear her name, right? His purpose in following Gu Yunshuang on the variety show was obviously to stir up trouble, so she might as well help the benefactor.
She immediately pushed #Go on an adventure with childhood sweetheart# to the top of the trending searches on all major platforms.
The traffic brought by the hot search was huge, and many passers-by entered the live broadcast room.
The director looked at the rapidly increasing number of viewers backstage, but he felt a little panicked.
But thinking of the Jiang family behind him, he slowly felt relieved. Although Qi Yue was a bit weird, could he still compare to the entire Tianshi Association behind Xue Tinghe?
He subconsciously made excuses for Xue Tinghe's failure to notice the strange events in the car. Perhaps there were some hidden secrets unknown to them, the laymen. He firmly believed that Xue Tinghe's strength was truly genuine.
Perhaps the lower-level and more harmless spells are, the easier it is to avoid being discovered, just like it is difficult for people to discover ants on the ground.
The director felt more at ease thinking about this. However, he was also troubled by how to conceal the blunder and tell Xue Tinghe without angering him.
After some trouble, the bus finally set off.
The atmosphere in the car was a little weird, and no one said anything.
Hu Lijing looked at Xue Tinghe, who was sullen and radiating coldness in front of her, and then looked at Qi Yue, who was chatting with Gu Yunshuang and occasionally chuckling, looking very happy. She rolled her eyes and called out to Qi Yue without hesitation, "Qi Yue, are you and Gu Yunshuang really childhood sweethearts?"
Qi Yue raised his head and raised his eyebrows: "Of course, it's genuine."
Hu Lijing sighed, "To be honest, you and Xue Tinghe do look somewhat similar. Are you two really not brothers or relatives?"
Qi Yue: "Are they similar? I don't think they look alike at all."
Xue Tinghe had already received the director's message and was shivering all over.
He couldn't believe that something, human or ghost, had just been making small moves in front of him without him noticing anything. He suspected someone had tampered with the camera and that the livestream had been hacked; it couldn't be an unscientific cause. The person named Qi Yue was particularly suspicious; perhaps he had bribed the staff and arranged for hackers to exploit him for attention.
Hearing their conversation felt more like being insulted. He felt that Qi Yue was just trying to take advantage of his popularity by using his appearance, even though he said they didn't look alike. He felt even more disgusted.
I thought she was really a childhood sweetheart, but her true colors showed up not long after. After all, she was just a vain, profit-driven actress who wanted to attract traffic.
He sneered, looking like trash not worthy of being compared with me, and sneered at Gu Yunshuang: "Is this the childhood sweetheart you found? Nothing more than that."
Everyone in the car could hear his disdain and sarcasm.
Qi Yue smiled and replied, "This is the famous Master Xue. People's hearts have really changed."
As a die-hard fan of Xue Tinghe, Sun Zhanyuan couldn't stand being mocked, especially by this "imitation" of Xue Tinghe. He immediately asked, "What do you mean?"
Qi Yue: "At such a young age, with all the strength and ability, instead of working hard, he's engaging in superstitious fraud. What else can this be but a decline in human nature?"
The others wanted to help Xue Tinghe refute this, but Qi Yue continued, "Are you trying to say that what he's doing isn't a superstitious scam, but real? Are there really ghosts and metaphysics in the world? Are you trying to promote superstition during a live broadcast? No, we should believe in science. As public figures, you should promote science and reject superstition. Otherwise, you might corrupt the children watching the live broadcast."
As he spoke, he looked at Gu Yunshuang, and seeing the approval in Gu Yunshuang's eyes, he felt happy.
The others were speechless. Although the authorities have been very ambiguous about metaphysics recently and have not explicitly banned it, they have not withdrawn the explicit regulations prohibiting the promotion of feudal superstitions.
If you don't want your live broadcast room to be blocked, you can't just say that there are ghosts and metaphysics in this world.
It turned out that Xue Tinghe, who seemed to have the highest status and was the most praised among the few people, was labeled a liar who engaged in superstitious fraud by Qi Yue with just a few words, which made the few people choke very uncomfortable.
Many people online believe in metaphysics, but even more are atheists. So while Xue Tinghe has many fans, he also has a fair share of haters who think he's a charlatan, a superstitious fraud, and a charlatan. Finally, seeing him get humiliated, the haters came out to mock him.
[Hahaha, well said! What a bullshit master, pretending to be so great, but in fact he is nothing more than a charlatan. Such a tall and strong young man, why can't he just do something to make a living? He has to pretend to be a liar to cheat people out of money!]
I hate these superstitious scammers the most! Even if Qi Yue is an actor, so what? He earns his living by his looks and acting skills, unlike some people who pretend to be supernatural and cheat people out of their hard-earned money with just a few words.
My mother-in-law was once scammed by a charlatan like this. She was defrauded of over 100,000 yuan for her coffin, and they even beat my son to death with a willow branch in the name of exorcism! My sweet, adorable little son is gone just like that! These charlatans and charlatans are completely devoid of conscience! They deserve a hapless death!
Xue Tinghe's face looked very ugly as he looked at Qi Yue coldly. Ever since he became the most powerful of the younger generation in the Tianshi world, no one dared to embarrass him in such a way in front of him. He secretly decided to teach this man a lesson.
Qi Yue gave him a provocative smile, then turned around and pretended to be sad and asked Gu Yunshuang: "I heard that you like him very much? That's right, I've been away for so many years, and you forgot our agreement. It's normal for you to like someone else."
Gu Yunshuang immediately sat up straight and denied it three times in a row: "It's not that I didn't do it. Don't slander me. I don't know him well. Don't associate me with such a person. I just thought he looked a bit like you, and thinking of you, I couldn't help but look at him a few more times."
This statement was undoubtedly a slap in Xue Tinghe's face. He was the foremost figure of the younger generation in the world of metaphysics, but in front of Gu Yunshuang he became a substitute for an unknown person. It was a complete insult.
Gu Yunshuang didn't even notice Xue Tinghe's face which was so cold that ice chips could fall off, and even complained to Qi Yue: "To be honest, it's still your fault. If you hadn't left without any news for seven years, would I be like this?" As he said that, he glared at Qi Yue and turned his head away, not looking at Qi Yue.
Qi Yue secretly cried out in disbelief, accidentally stepping on a landmine again, and quickly apologized: "It's all my fault, I'm sorry. Come, Shuangshuang baby, have some candy. After eating the candy, your mouth will be sweet and you won't be angry with me anymore."
As he said that, he took out a chocolate candy from the snack bag that Sister Hua had prepared for them, tore open the package, and fed it into Gu Yunshuang's mouth very smoothly.
Gu Yunshuang subconsciously licked the place on her lips where Qi Yue's fingers touched, clearly feeling the sweetness of chocolate spreading in her mouth, and slowly smiled with her eyes curved.
Qi Yue looked at Gu Yunshuang like this, and his eyes darkened without him noticing. The touch of Gu Yunshuang's lips was still lingering on his fingertips, soft and elastic, as if it had touched his heart, making him feel numb. His fingers subconsciously groped for a while, and he looked at Gu Yunshuang with a very gentle look.
