Chapter 159 The Scheming Young Master Explodes
Chapter 159 The Scheming Young Master Explodes
At the recording site, Su Qi appeared in front of the camera first, and the audience below the stage let out amazing screams.
"Welcome to our first guest today, Ms. Su Qi."
The host asked, "What are your thoughts on returning to the scene?"
Su Qi picked up the microphone, while Shen Chaohuai in the backstage looked disdainfully at the audience in front of the stage.
"I hope this variety show recording will go smoothly and that there won't be any more accidents."
After Su Qi finished speaking, another guest took the stage.
Shu Yu snatched the microphone from the host's hand: "What kind of accident could happen? Miss Su, that's a strange question. Don't you trust our variety show's security system?"
Su Qi paused, knowing that Shu Yu would be more arrogant than before now that she had allied herself with the Zheng family, and didn't bother to argue with her.
He Yizhen also participated in this season's dating reality show, but her reputation has declined significantly, and she has become much more docile during interviews.
Xu Xiaowan waved to the audience and then to the guests, excitedly grabbing Su Qi's arm: "We meet again!"
Currently, the dating reality show only has four female guests, which corresponds to only four male guests.
The cheers from the audience grew louder and louder, as everyone eagerly awaited the announcement of which four male guests would appear.
"The first one is... Let's welcome Mr. Gu Xing." The host led the applause, and all the female audience members stood up.
Gu Xing has won the top spot and is now enjoying immense popularity. His fans are not worried about whether he can maintain his position, but rather about his major life events.
[It would be great if Gu Yingdi could choose a female guest to date on a dating reality show.]
I think Su Qi is quite good.
[Is the person upstairs crazy? Someone of Su Qi's stature would never associate with Actor Gu?]
[He's lucky he can even find a partner. These days, many female celebrities make money but don't want to get married; they just want to live a carefree life.]
After Gu Xing finished his brief introduction, he looked at Su Qi with a deep expression, but Su Qi did not respond. He just sat in a corner and lit a cigarette by himself.
He lowered his head, his eyes filled with disappointment.
The next male guest to come on stage was Li Yancheng. The entire internet disagreed with Li Yancheng going home to inherit the family business, and some fans in the audience were calling for his return to the entertainment industry.
The lights on site kept flashing.
"The third male guest is... our newcomer in the entertainment industry, Shen Chaohuai—"
Applause rose and fell. Shen Chaohuai had only been in the industry for a short time, and his fans were mostly the kind who liked several artists at the same time. But it was obvious that Shen Chaohuai was more eye-catching than the male artists present.
Not only does she have a tall figure, but she also has good looks and a medium-length hairstyle that most male celebrities wouldn't dare to try.
He was so dazzling that Gu Xing and Li Yancheng gasped and felt a deep sense of crisis.
"The last male guest is..."
As the host's voice rang out, everyone tilted their heads to look. Su Qi was also curious about who the organizers would invite, so she turned her head to the side.
"Hello everyone, I am Xiang Zhouzhou."
Xiang Zhouzhou is not as socially awkward as she was last season.
Su Qi lowered her head and saw Xiang Boshan looking down at Xiang Zhouzhou with a face full of satisfaction.
Su Qi couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Did Xiang Boshan intend for his son to develop in the entertainment industry?
Unsurprisingly, Xiang Zhouzhou only greeted Su Qi. However, this action displeased Shen Chaohuai, who pulled him over and deliberately blocked his view of Su Qi.
【? ? ? 】
[This possessiveness is too much! Has our Qi-Chao CP evolved to this extent?]
[This episode is going to be interesting, it's all about Shen Chaohuai's love rivals, hahaha!]
The system alerted Su Qi to the popularity of the CP (couple) topic, but she didn't pay much attention.
"This season's variety show combines the elements of a crime simulation show. Now, let's divide into teams: the detective team and the criminal team." The host took out a raffle card.
"The grouping rules are random. Now, please draw lots in turn. Those who draw number 1 will be the detective team, and those who draw number 2 will be the criminal team."
There are only two slips of paper, 1 and 2, in the box, so there is no unfair situation where someone draws the last slip and only has one left.
Su Qi treated the variety show as just a game, and with the script in hand, she only saw it as work and had no intention of using it for publicity.
Su Qi drew 1, followed by Li Yancheng and Xu Xiaowan, while the other artists all drew 2.
Holding the slip of paper in his hand, Shen Chaohuai asked the host first, "Isn't this unfair? They only have three people, while we have five. In a normal crime scenario, even the police outnumber the criminals."
The audience agreed that it made sense, and after discussions between the host and the production team, they finally agreed to let Shen Chaohuai join the detective team.
Su Qi muttered to himself, "Young Master Shen is really quite cunning. He managed to get the organizers to change the rules for you with just a few words."
Shen Chaohuai retorted softly, "Tch, wasn't that all for you..."
"What?" Su Qi frowned.
Shen Chaohuai said, "It's nothing..."
It was because he was worried about her safety that he wanted to be in the same group as her. Given what had happened before, Shen Chaohuai would never dare to leave her alone in a group. If the production team had other plans for her, or if she was being plotted against again, he would regret it too late.
Despite their arguments, he always prioritizes the bigger picture when faced with situations like this.
Today's recording has come to an end. Su Qi put on her coat and left the dressing room. However, just as she reached the door of Shen Chaohuai's dressing room, she heard Shen Chaohuai mention Li Yancheng on the phone.
"I don't know how Li Yancheng managed to sneak out and participate in a variety show. Without him, I wouldn't have to go through so much trouble."
Xie Tian's voice was quite loud on the phone, and Su Qi could hear it even through the door: "Li Haidao can't even take care of his own son, how can he expect someone to inherit his huge bank? Forget it, I think Li Yancheng is just a playboy, how could he possibly be interested in the family business?"
Hearing this, Su Qi understood why he wanted to join her team, because Li Yancheng was on her team.
Although she didn't understand why Shen Chaohuai was focusing on Li Yancheng, given her previous incident with Gu Xing, she was afraid that Shen Chaohuai would cause trouble on the variety show, implicating her and ruining her career.
That won't do. Su Qi is currently relying on this variety show to earn breach of contract fees, and he absolutely cannot let Shen Chaohuai ruin it.
Just as Su Qi was about to push the door open and go in, she heard Shen Chaohuai say, "You know, it was I who suggested to Li Haidao that we take Li Yancheng back to be a tutor. Once he calms down, he will listen to Li Haidao and inherit the bank."
Her pupils contracted slightly; she hadn't expected him to be so cunning.
Xie Tian laughed and said, "Everyone knows what you're thinking. You're doing this just to stop Li Yancheng from participating in this variety show, aren't you?"
"Yeah, you really understand me..."
Su Qi walked out with a troubled mind, but when she turned around, Li Yancheng was waiting for her behind her, which startled her.
"What are you looking at?"
"Ok?"
At that moment, Li Yancheng also happened to hear Shen Chaohuai's speech.
In an instant, Li Yancheng's eyes reddened as he glared angrily at the man sitting inside.
"Oh, so it was him..."
Li Yancheng has always been easygoing and his good temper is well-known both inside and outside the entertainment industry.
However, this does not mean that he can be completely indifferent to others' scheming against him.
