Chapter 217 Stepping Stones in Variety Shows 12
A short while later, Gu Qiwen also arrived at the scene. He walked up to Qingyu and said sincerely, "I was wrong before. I hope you can continue to stay with the program team."
Qingyu raised an eyebrow, looked Gu Qiwen up and down, and didn't believe his explanation, but she had no intention of leaving.
The play isn't over yet.
"The contract is still in effect, I won't leave."
The penalty for breach of contract is still several million; let's talk about it after we've had our fun.
Seeing this, everyone realized that Qingyu had become an indispensable part of the program, and they needed to reconsider their previous idea of using Qingyu as a "stepping stone".
The matter was considered "satisfied" at this point. Leaving aside the controversy online, Gu Qiwen gritted his teeth and continued recording.
Since Qingyu is number one, she has priority in choosing her room and partner this time.
Having received the first place plaque, Qingyu's gaze swept over the crowd. For some reason, everyone subconsciously straightened their chests, as if wanting to show their best selves.
Even the usually arrogant Gu Yao was somewhat expectant and nervous.
Finally, Qingyu took out the number of the best room, her eyes crinkling with a smile, and said, "I won't choose anyone."
Everyone was taken aback. Xie Zeyan was the first to disagree. He stepped forward and asked directly, "Why not choose me?"
"Then why? Because I don't like you." Gu Yao couldn't help but retort, but his words were tinged with bitterness.
He realized that Qingyu might not have chosen him because she didn't think much of him...
After all, his previous attitude...
Xie Zeyan ignored him and stared stubbornly at Qingyu. Murong Han, who was standing to the side, raised an eyebrow and said in a seemingly easygoing manner, "Xie Zeyan, don't make things difficult for her."
Then she smiled gently, "Qingyu, you have your own rights."
Qingyu's eyes showed little emotion as she nodded gently in gratitude.
Murong Han was somewhat disappointed, but he didn't show it on his face and remained calm and composed.
Only Lin Feiyue noticed the change in his mindset and gave him a meaningful and complicated look.
People always admire the strong, and Murong Han was no exception.
Finally, seeing the situation reach a stalemate, the staff quickly stepped in to smooth things over: "Since Qingyu has made this decision, we will respect her wishes. Everyone should go back to their rooms to rest and prepare for the next round of recording."
After saying that, Qingyu left first.
Although the others were unwilling, they could only disperse.
The room prepared by the production team is in the town. Compared to the classical boudoir where Qingyu has been staying these past few days, this room can be considered a deluxe king-size bed room.
However, as she entered the room, Qingyu keenly sensed a burning gaze following her from behind.
She glanced sideways and saw Xie Zeyan staring intently at her, his eyes filled with longing.
This person...
There are more than a few strange things about him. The closer you get to him, the more Qingyu will be confused and slowly lower her standards for him.
Therefore, Qingyu didn't choose anyone this time.
Seemingly receiving Qingyu's glance back, Xie Zeyan smiled slightly, appearing pleased. He nodded slightly to Qingyu before turning and leaving.
Qingyu withdrew her gaze and returned to her room to rest.
I had barely sat down when I received a note that read: “Your choice is wise, but the danger has only just begun.”
Qingyu frowned slightly, then relaxed instantly. She remembered that in the story, the original owner had also received a note, but the words on it were completely different from this one.
She held the note, pondering its meaning.
Just then, a commotion came from outside the door, as if someone was arguing.
The system chuckled and appeared, "Gu Yao and Xie Zeyan are outside the door, and they're fighting."
Qingyu nodded nonchalantly, "Did they kill them?"
System: "...How could you possibly kill him?"
"That would be boring."
System: "..." I always felt that Qingyu's thoughts were somewhat dark.
However, Qingyu didn't want to pay attention, but the two people outside the door were making a huge fuss.
A short while later, someone came to knock on the door.
Qingyu opened the door impatiently, only to see the staff member standing awkwardly at the door, with Gu Yao and Xie Zeyan still pulling and shoving each other behind them.
"Miss Qingyu, could you please try to persuade them? If this keeps going on, the show can't be recorded."
Qingyu crossed her arms and leaned lazily against the door frame. "What does this have to do with me? This is your program team's business."
After saying that, he closed the door.
Seeing this, Gu Yao broke free from Xie Zeyan, rushed over to block the door, his eyes red, "Qingyu, I know you hate me, but I have something important to say to you!"
His gaze was firm and restrained, with a hint of expectation, as if he was waiting for Qingyu to ask the question.
However, Qingyu didn't even glance at him, but instead looked at Xie Zeyan and said coldly, "Are you here to bother me too?"
Xie Zeyan was stunned for a moment, then immediately ran over and pointed at Gu Yao, "Qingyu, this guy is definitely up to no good with you, stay away from him."
He pursed his lips and explained in a deep voice, "I didn't come here to bother you. I just wanted to stop him from bothering you."
Qingyu's cool and aloof expression grew increasingly irritated. Even though her expression was obscured, her impatience was evident in her tone. "You two are really something else. In my eyes, you're both equally annoying."
Both of them were stunned.
A hint of hurt flashed across Xie Zeyan's eyes.
Qingyu continued, "To me, you are all equal. How things were then is how they are now! There's no need to change!"
I disliked her back then and refused to get close to her, and I still do now!
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Yao's eyes reddened even more, and his fists clenched tightly, as if he could hardly believe that Qingyu would say such a thing.
He's a young master!
he……
He clearly lowered his head! Why can't we forgive him?!
"Heh—do I care if you call me a young master?" Gu Yao's eyes were bloodshot and his voice was choked. After he finished speaking, he turned around and strode away.
Upon seeing this, the staff breathed a sigh of relief.
Damn it, if he lets those two keep fighting, he'll have his salary docked!
He stole a glance at Qingyu, swallowed hard, and no longer dared to underestimate the person in front of him. He politely thanked her, "Thank you, Miss Qingyu."
Qingyu nodded slightly. Xie Zeyan, who was standing to the side, was about to say something when the door was suddenly closed.
Xie Zeyan: "..." So cold! He likes it!
He suddenly laughed, his magnetic and doting voice sending chills down the spines of the staff, who couldn't help but silently grumble to themselves.
What's with this pretentious CEO act? It's terrifying!
------------
The next morning, everyone boarded a bus and headed to their new destination.
Still dressed in ancient costume, this time she went to a lakeside place nestled against the mountains and beside the water. In the middle of the lake stood an extremely exquisite and classical pavilion, which was very eye-catching.
For some reason, Qingyu felt somewhat dazed the moment she arrived here.
Everything in front of me seems vaguely familiar.
"Where is this? I've never heard of this place before." Mu Ran looked around curiously, becoming more and more surprised. "Did the production team build this new place?"
"It shouldn't be. It looks quite old." Lin Feiyue touched the small courtyard by the lake, her eyes full of emotion. "The layout here is quite nice. The person who could live here must be some kind of reclusive master?"
Mo Xiaoxiao was also eager to try, "Doesn't that mean I'll know martial arts?"
"not necessarily."
