Chapter 213 Stepping Stones in Variety Shows 8

Gu Yao also scoffed and mocked, "I thought you could come up with something good... This is nothing. You can't even be elected as a maid. Anyway, I definitely won't choose you."

Such a straightforward rejection surprised netizens watching on the screen.

"Is this still a dating reality show? Gu Yao's dislike for Qingyu is so intense!"

"...Although, this kind of tattered clothing is really not presentable. Qingyu is disrespecting the competition."

"Even if Qingyu did her best, I doubt any male guest would choose her..."

"The person upstairs is right!"

……

Qingyu glanced at the netizens' discussion and agreed with the statement that even if she prepared well, she could never be the top courtesan.

Seeing everyone smiling, Xie Zeyan stepped forward, picked up the clothes, and looked towards the production team, asking, "Did you make this?"

The production team naturally couldn't admit it, and Xie Ze's tone became even colder, "Then why don't you try to solve it?"

"It's not the production team's fault. Maybe someone else just doesn't like her?" Mu Ran muttered softly, but her voice clearly reached everyone's ears.

Mo Xiaoxiao sighed, but after holding back, she still interjected, "There's still time, Qingyu, why don't you prepare another one?"

"This is a solution." Lin Feiyue looked at Qingyu with feigned concern. "I can help you."

"No need." Qingyu refused decisively, her eyes slightly darkening. She glanced meaningfully at the staff member beside her and said in a clear voice, "I was worried before I left, so I hid a video camera in the shadows... Hmm, can we take a look?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked and looked at Qingyu in disbelief. Mu Ran blurted out, "You actually recorded a video?"

"Yes, do you want to see it? If not, I can post it online for everyone to see." Qingyu's voice was cold and emotionless. Her words shocked all the staff, especially the two who had attacked her, who instinctively began to panic.

They do it secretly, but if this is exposed, they'll definitely be criticized!

I'll be cyberbullied then...

I don't even want to think about the consequences!

"Director? What do we do!" They immediately found Gu Qiwen, who saw the scene through the video. His face turned red, and he stared at Qingyu, his anger rising one layer after another.

He never expected Qingyu to expose this matter so directly!

Is this woman stupid?!

Why not just cooperate and act as a stepping stone?!

Looking at the comments section again, there were all sorts of opinions flying around. Some people had already started to speculate that the murderer was the production team and were clamoring for Qingyu to release the video!

If there really is a video, it absolutely cannot be released!

"Have someone distract them! I want to talk to Qingyu alone!" Gu Qiwen said through gritted teeth, every word filled with anger.

The staff member didn't dare to answer, nodded, and ran away quickly.

At this moment, everyone in the room looked at each other, unsure of what to say.

Lin Feiyue and the others were also somewhat guilty, since they vaguely knew that the production team would target Qingyu.

In the silence, Qingyu leaned casually against the table, her slender fingers twirling strands of her jet-black hair between her fingertips, as if twirling in everyone's hearts.

She glanced indifferently at the crowd. "I didn't want to get involved in your fight, but don't think I'm easy to bully. I'm going to get an explanation for what happened today."

After saying that, she looked towards the door. The madam forced herself to walk in, forcing a smile. "Oh dear, everyone's here. I have a problem that I need your help with. I wonder if any young master or young lady could help me? It's not free, you'll need points."

Clearly, the sudden assignment was just a "trigger," and everyone was no fool; each had their own agenda.

Lin Feiyue spoke first: "Mom, please speak freely."

The madam's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly explained the whole story: it turned out there was a problem with the accountant's records, and they needed to find the error.

Everyone crowded around to examine the accounts, but Qingyu and Xie Zeyan remained unmoved.

Murong Han glanced at Xie Zeyan out of the corner of his eye, frowned, and whispered a word of advice, "Let's go, you can't help her."

"It's none of your business." Xie Zeyan said coldly, completely ignoring him.

Before Murong Han could say anything more, Gu Yao scoffed coldly, his eyes full of disdain, and said sarcastically, "Mind your own business."

After saying that, he strode away.

Murong Han felt humiliated and stopped talking, leaving with the others.

Qingyu yawned, her eyes glistening with moisture, adding to her allure, and she paid no attention to Xie Zeyan's presence beside her.

She appeared lazy, but her eyes were actually fixed on the doorway, waiting for the production crew to come and find her.

A short while later, a staff member quietly came over and gestured for Qingyu to follow him.

Qingyu didn't refuse; she had to meet people anyway. She sneered and strode forward. Xie Zeyan, who was beside her, wanted to follow, but was stopped by someone.

The latter exuded a menacing aura, his sharp gaze fixed on the staff member. "You're stopping me?"

The staff member felt a chill run down their spine, knowing they couldn't afford to offend this person, and could only explain with a forced smile, "You can't go... otherwise it would be against the rules!"

A sharp glint flashed in Xie Zeyan's eyes, enough to make one's heart tremble with just one glance. His emotions fluctuated greatly, but in the end, he could only suppress them.

He really can't go.

This isn't his territory; he can't go too far!

That's really...frustrating!

On the other side, Qingyu followed the people to a secluded house.

Upon entering, I saw the director I remembered waiting there.

Yeah, he looks decent enough, but he's always the second male lead.

Have you figured out how to compensate me?

Qingyu spoke first, her tone calm.

Gu Qiwen had been waiting there. Upon hearing this, his face darkened, and he lowered his eyes, trying his best not to look into those eyes. He said softly, "Qingyu, do you really want to make a big deal out of this? As long as you delete the video, you'll get your share of the benefits."

Qingyu raised an eyebrow and smiled teasingly, "Director, does what you're saying sound familiar? You keep making empty promises to me... but you have to consider whether I can actually accept them, right? I just want fair competition."

But that is precisely the least likely thing to happen.

Gu Qiwen's elaborate scheme was all aimed at promoting Lin Feiyue, and it's true that he could replace her now, but...

He is not willing!

His eyes blazed with anger, he gritted his teeth, and his voice held a hidden threat, "Aren't you afraid of being made even worse off on the show later?"

Qingyu smiled calmly, "We'll see then. But if this video gets out, your reputation will probably be ruined."

Gu Qiwen suddenly looked up and met those eyes—

Her bright eyes were like water, pure and lively, seemingly possessing infinite charm. Her gaze was radiant, making it impossible to feel any ill will towards her.

Gu Qiwen was stiff all over, his mind was blank, and he was unable to think.

He knew he shouldn't have looked at people like that! He'll soften his heart!

The atmosphere inside the room remained tense.

After thinking for a long time, Gu Qiwen closed his eyes as if he had given up all hope, "Delete the video, and I... won't make things difficult for you in the future."

With so many guests around, it's not his place to make things difficult.

Qingyu was not happy about this. She watched coldly, then turned and left.

Gu Qiwen was surprised and uncertain, not understanding her attitude, and felt a little flustered.
