Only when he saw Gu Luosheng approaching did Taita put away his phone. "How did the actor's audition go? Can we use her?"
"Sure. She's dumb and works cheap. Where else would you find a once-in-a-millennium bargain like that?" Gu Luosheng said, exasperated.
"True." Taita nodded in agreement.
"By the way, what did you mean by that Weibo post just now?" Gu Luosheng looked at Taita, perfectly composed.
Taita thought for a moment. "Just spicing things up. See? We've already got people engaging."
"You're trying to ride our wave of popularity, aren't you?" Gu Luosheng saw right through him.
Taita said, "Come on, why draw a line between us? Look, here's how it works... We're all in the same boat now. If I get popular, our show gets popular. If our show gets popular, you get popular too."
"Isn't it because I'm already popular that you'll get popular, and then the show will get popular?" Luckily, Gu Luosheng was clearheaded enough not to let Taita lead her astray.
"Then tell me, which came first, the chicken or the egg?" Taita asked with a completely serious expression.
"I came first. And I'm neither a chicken nor an egg, much less a chicken egg." With that clever little head of hers, Sister Sheng wasn't about to fall for it.
"Even if we take ten thousand steps back, aren't we partners now? If any one of us gets popular, we all benefit." Unable to outargue Gu Luosheng, Taita could only change tack.
"If we actually took ten thousand steps back, we'd already be at the bottom of a cliff." Gu Luosheng blinked.
Taita: ...
He couldn't win. He really couldn't win a single argument.
Sometimes he really wanted to open up Gu Luosheng's head and see what high-tech gadget she had in there.
