The Production Team Starts Stirring Things Up

Even after Qi Si got into the production team's car and it had driven quite a distance away, he could still see Qi Wang standing at the entrance in the rearview mirror.

Qi Si stared at the mirror until Qi Wang was no longer visible, then finally looked away.

"Young Master Qi, you seem to have a great relationship with Chairman Qi?"

Qi Si looked at his PD and nodded.

"Yeah. After all, my brother is my only family in this world."

Thinking of the Qi Household's circumstances, the PD gave an awkward little smile.

"Young Master Qi, have you watched our show before?"

"I have. It's pretty interesting." My ass!

Go! All-Round Charge! was undeniably popular, but at its core, it was anything but a relaxing show.

And the reason it was so popular was entirely because it could torment people.

Almost every guest who had appeared on the variety show had been put through the wringer.

There had once been a female guest who claimed that after filming the show, she lost a full ten pounds in just one month!

The results were even more obvious than taking fitness classes to lose weight!

Even though everyone knew going on this show meant getting tortured, countless people still fought tooth and nail for a spot.

Because it was popular.

The show's own level of attention was enough to make people envious.

For little celebrities who had no popularity to begin with, appearing on the show could at least draw in some fans.

If they were lucky, they could become famous overnight.

Even being infamous was still fame.

What celebrities feared most was not having too many haters.

What they feared most was that no one knew who they were.

"Young Master Qi, do you know who the guests for this episode are?" the PD asked.

Qi Si nodded. "More or less. But don't you still have two mystery guests you haven't announced?"

"That's right. Would Young Master Qi like to take a guess?"

"What am I supposed to guess? I'm not part of your circle, so how would I know? The people I could guess, could you even invite them?"

Qi Si looked at the PD with an expression that said, Are you kidding me?

The PD gave an awkward laugh. "Well... not necessarily?"

At that, Qi Si raised a brow. "Oh? From the sound of it, you invited someone impressive this time? Go on, then. Besides me, which other rich young master is bored out of his mind?"

PD: "..." Is that how you talk about yourself?

[Hahahahahahaha!!!]

[How is he so self-aware?? This somehow reminded me of someone. (black face)]

[You mean that scumbag Mr. Hong, who's so clear-headed about himself? (doge)]

[Hahahahaha, you're so savage!]

[Could the mystery guest really be some rich young master?]

In Qi Si's livestream, viewers began guessing the identities of the mystery guests.

The viewers in the other guests' livestreams were also guessing who the mystery guests might be.

In Shen Shuyu's livestream, Shen Shuyu wore a white long dress. Her half-curled hair was pinned on both sides with butterfly clips, while the rest cascaded down her back.

Her looks were neither strikingly glamorous nor delicately refined.

A face somewhere between the two could suit either style, but because Bo Fuyu had always liked the innocent, fragile type, Shen Shuyu had always dressed in that direction.

Later, by chance, she entered the entertainment industry. With her harmless, sweet image and spirited acting, she really did attract quite a few fans and quickly became a popular actress.

But everything changed after Lin Weiwei also entered the entertainment industry.

Because Lin Weiwei's path was highly similar to Shen Shuyu's, and when she first debuted, she rode Shen Shuyu's coattails.

She made herself known to audiences under the label of "Little Shen Shuyu."

On top of that, Lin Weiwei was better than Shen Shuyu at pleasing people and understood what fans liked to see. Gradually, Lin Weiwei gained a group of die-hard fans as well.

But at first, Lin Weiwei's popularity had been nowhere near Shen Shuyu's. The reason she was now faintly showing signs of overtaking Shen Shuyu was largely thanks to the resource Qi Si had secured for her before.

Ever since Lin Weiwei debuted, her fans and Shen Shuyu's fans had never stopped fighting.

Shen Shuyu's fans believed Lin Weiwei was riding her popularity, while Lin Weiwei's fans believed Shen Shuyu was pretending to be above it all and deliberately targeting Lin Weiwei.

Now that the two were appearing on the same show, fans from both sides were fighting to the death.

Even when the two had no interaction, their fans still took every opportunity to throw subtle digs at each other in private.

No matter the occasion, whenever they had the chance, neither side would pass up the opportunity to smear the other.

Ever since news broke that the two would be appearing on the same variety show, their fans had not had a moment of peace.

The fans of those two had contributed no small amount to this episode's popularity.

Sure enough, the moment the two appeared before the cameras, huge numbers of each other's fans flooded into their livestreams.

Once they came in, they did not care what the livestream host was doing or saying. They just started attacking.

Clearly, both Shen Shuyu and Lin Weiwei were used to this situation.

The production team was used to it too.

Shen Shuyu's PD looked at her and asked, "Shuyu, we selected several fan questions with high engagement. Would it be convenient for you to answer them?"

Shen Shuyu wore a smile that revealed none of her true feelings.

"Of course."

"Alright. This fan would like to ask Shuyu why you came on our show."

Shen Shuyu smiled. "Because you invited me."

"Uh... that's true, haha." The PD truly had not expected Shen Shuyu to answer so bluntly.

Shen Shuyu's fans burst out laughing.

The same question also appeared in Lin Weiwei's livestream.

"Why did I join this show? Of course it's because I like it! I've always loved watching All-Round Charge, and I've always wanted to take part myself. It must be so much fun!"

Lin Weiwei's smile was sweet, and her eyes were full of longing. No matter how one looked at it, she did not seem to be acting.

Shen Shuyu's fans immediately accused her of pretending in the livestream.

Naturally, Lin Weiwei's fans could not tolerate Shen Shuyu's fans slandering her like that, and the two sides started fighting at the slightest disagreement.

Looking at the barrage of comments in the livestream, the PD wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Alright, the second question. A fan asks Weiwei whether Young Master Qi joined the show because of you."

Lin Weiwei's expression stiffened slightly.

The comments in the livestream slowed as well, and everyone waited curiously for Lin Weiwei's answer.

Lin Weiwei cursed inwardly and smiled somewhat awkwardly.

"I hope people won't say things like that carelessly. Young Master Qi and I are only friends, and I didn't know he was joining this show either. Maybe Young Master Qi joined because he also thought the show was interesting? It might not necessarily be because of me. Babies, please don't say things like that in the future. It wouldn't be good for either Young Master Qi or me, so be good, okay~"

After hearing Lin Weiwei say that, her fans said in the livestream that they would behave.

Shen Shuyu's fans responded with a wave of mockery.

[Hilarious! Lin Weiwei really thinks highly of herself. You and Young Master Qi are friends? If you were friends, why wouldn't he lend you money?]

[Hahaha, I'm dying! Lin Weiwei can only fool herself. Young Master Qi really doesn't seem to like you that much.]

[The trending topic saying Young Master Qi joined the show for you was bought by you, wasn't it? You really know how to flatter yourself. (spit)]

Meanwhile, in Qi Si's livestream, the PD asked a similar question.

"Young Master Qi, did you decide to join our show this time because of Lin Weiwei?"

[Holy shit! That direct? I love it!]

[Starting off this intense?!]

The moment Qi Si heard the PD's question, he immediately wore a baffled expression.

It was like that meme of an old man on the subway staring at his phone.

"Do you hear yourself right now?"

"Huh?"

"If I'd known Lin Weiwei was on this show, I wouldn't have come even if you beat me to death."

"Huh???"

The PD's eyes widened as he stared at Qi Si in shock.

Holy shit!

That direct?!
