A few little interruptions: the dating show's observation room and romance house officially go live
[I heard my crush is on the dating reality show! I rushed over the moment I heard the news, my face all pale and hot. Ahhh~ My crush is as handsome as ever~]
[Ahhh, I was so heartbroken to see Baby leave the stage on the talent show because of health reasons. My muse~ you're finally back! Do you know how I got through the days without your live streams?]
[Wow~ Baby, Shang Shujue ~ You're like a goddess descended from heaven, how can you be so beautiful! Do you know? Just sitting in the observation room, you made all the other guests pale in comparison~ ⌯ᵔᗜᵔ⌯ಣ]
As soon as the live stream camera was turned on, many of Shang Shujue's fans rushed over. They were so excited watching Shang Shujue in the observation room that they lost all interest in watching the other guests on the dating reality show. They were all as excited as if they were drunk.
Of course, nobody cares about their attitude towards the show; their mere presence is enough to boost its popularity.
Once the hype builds, it will be relatively easy to attract investors and find guests, unlike the initial difficulties of the first season. Moreover, the increased viewership will bring in substantial profits.
Wei Linya was pleased with the continued rise in popularity, and therefore expressed her approval of her decision to specially invite Shang Shujue to participate in this episode.
The pledge she made to the company won't ruin her reputation or force her to leave; in fact, it might even bring her unexpected good results.
"Maintain this level of engagement. Occasionally, bring up Teacher Shang's camera to encourage the regular guests to interact with him and say whatever they want."
Wei Linya stood in front of the monitor, watching the real-time traffic data rise steadily. The anxiety that had been hanging in her chest finally subsided, but she still couldn't help but instruct her assistants to explain the situation to Xu Lei and Du Lin.
"But please don't ask too many personal or controversial questions. We're a dating reality show, so the atmosphere should be relaxed; we can't be too serious."
As soon as Wei Linya finished speaking, her two assistants' expressions instantly turned a little strange. They looked at her, hesitant to speak, unable to say anything. Only then did she realize that something was wrong.
"What's going on? Just say what you want to say, why are you hesitating like this?"
Wei Linya frowned slightly as she looked at her two assistants. They exchanged a glance, the male assistant turning his head away to look in another direction, leaving the female assistant to face Wei Linya's potential outburst of anger.
The female assistant nervously tugged at her clothes, then took a deep breath, placed her fingers in front of her, and stopped fidgeting. She probably realized that she could only rely on herself and not on others, as no one else could be trusted.
"Sister Ya, the assistant director sent by the company went to the printing room twenty minutes ago and printed out two compilations of similar questions. I checked them out because I wasn't sure. One set contained very pointed questions, and the other contained very private questions..."
As soon as the female assistant finished speaking, she took out her phone from her pocket and showed Wei Linya a screenshot she had secretly taken. Wei Linya took it and continued speaking.
"This is part of what I secretly captured. I wanted to tell you this before, but you were called away by your boss and only came back five minutes ago."
"Therefore, it's highly likely that Teacher Shang has seen this controversial part of the question, and this highly private content will probably be asked on the show..."
After seeing the two screenshots, Wei Linya's face instantly turned cold. She took a deep breath, glanced at the male assistant without making a sound, then looked away and handed the phone back to Yunyun female assistant.
" Li Jia, you're really something! Just you wait, Yunyun, you did a great job. Go over there now and get in touch with Du Lin using their earpieces."
"Tell them not to be too pointed when they ask questions later, keep it light, and don't put too much pressure on the guest stars. Li Jia asks, just say that's what I said."
"Okay, I'll get on it right away!"
Yunyun wasn't scolded by the usually stern Wei Linya; in fact, she was praised. The value of such praise goes without saying, so she was very happy, accepted the task, and left.
" Xu Kai, you started working under me before Yunyun. Why haven't you been promoted after all this time? Haven't you considered the reasons yourself?"
"You can go to HR now and ask them to reassign you to a different job. I don't need someone with too many complicated thoughts. You can leave now."
After saying those words to Xu Kai with a cold expression, Wei Linya turned away and ignored him. Her family had some connections, and when she got angry, no one dared to contradict her.
Xu Kai wasn't afraid of any of that. He hadn't expected the other party to say something like that so suddenly, and in a fit of anger, he retorted, "Do you think I want to work for you?"
"Don't be so arrogant. You're just a woman. What good are your brilliant ideas if you still end up marrying a man like me? Humph!"
"Ha~ I still have good judgment, unlike you, who has neither vision nor magnanimity, and has accomplished nothing!"
"You--"
"If you're going to leave, then get out of here. Go to Li Jia's place and see if he'll take you in. Get lost!"
Xu Kai didn't dare to actually clash with Wei Linya, and in the end, he left feeling frustrated.
She didn't care what he would become afterward; she was currently watching the two images on the monitor screen, hoping that nothing would go wrong during the live broadcast.
At that moment, everyone in the observation room was watching the guests in the Love House meet the new guests. The two new guests walked into the house garden one after the other.
The guests sat at a long table in the garden, waiting for two more guests to arrive before having dinner with them. Everyone was dressed up and wearing various accessories.
The first new guest to arrive was bartender Gu Yiyue. As soon as he appeared, Shen Ye's eyes lit up, and he stood up before the others, "Brother Yue, long time no see!"
As soon as he stood up, almost all the guests looked at him, then at Gu Yiyue, their expressions somewhat subtle, but none of them showed it, instead offering their welcome.
" Shen Ye, long time no see." Gu Yiyue greeted Shen Ye in response before warmly greeting the other guests, "Hello everyone, I'm Gu Yiyue."
He was very handsome, and his skin was so white it seemed to glow, which was probably related to the nature of his work. Everyone gave him a warm welcome, and then they sat down and chatted for a while.
In the observation room, Du Lin, who had already heard the new instructions, finally breathed a sigh of relief. He thought he was bound to offend Shang Shujue today, but thankfully he didn't need to. He let out a soft sigh and began to guide the guests in their conversation.
