In just a short minute, the producer’s legs were sore and his face was red. “Gu…Mr. Gu, they came from afar after all, so we took care of them a little.” “Yes.” Gu Shiyan replied and did not refute.
“I’m here to know more about my investment situation. After all, I have to know where my money is spent.
There’s no hurry. Take your time.”
The producer inwardly cursed as he couldn’t remember all the places where the program was spending money. There were so many expenses big and small, and he couldn’t recall them all clearly.
But in front of Gu Shiyan, he didn’t dare say too much. He could only rack his brains and report the progress of the program and any expenditure he could remember.
The other contestants in the lounge remained silent, but their eyes were shining with excitement and admiration as they looked at Gu Shiyan. They had long been displeased with the obsequious foreign-loving staff who treated them coldly but fawned over every foreigner they encountered. Finally, someone was here to give them a lesson. Mr. Gu was amazing!
From the moment Gu Shiyan spoke, Lu Miao knew what he intended to do. However, the program team did deserve a lesson for their culture of favoritism, and someone like Gu Shiyan, a major sponsor, was the most suitable person to do it.
So she leisurely sat back and watched the show unfold.
The station director, upon receiving news of Gu Shiyan’s arrival, hurriedly rushed over. This person had connections that reached to the heavens; he was not someone he could afford to offend. When “Super Brain” began filming, Gu Shiyan did indeed greet him and mentioned that his people would be participating.
At the time, the director had casually inquired about it, only Imowing the contestant’s name was Lu Miao. He assumed she was Gu Shiyan’s distant relative or the daughter of an acquaintance. He simply mentioned it to the program team, asking them to take care of her a bit.
Little did they expect that Gu Shiyan would personally come to the TV station for her sake.
A staff member who had been informed hurriedly entered the lounge and warmly greeted, extending their hand, “Mr. Gu.”
Gu Shiyan stood in place and replied with a simple “Hmm.” He gestured for the station director to sit.
The station director hesitated to sit since Gu Shiyan was still standing. He didn’t dare to take a seat without his permission.
Glancing around the cramped lounge, he realized there was barely enough space for people to stand, let alone sit. He immediately understood the situation.
The program producer, who was shaking with nervousness, looked at the station director pleadingly for help.
However, Gu Shiyan was displeased, and the station director didn’t dare say much. He gave the producer a look that conveyed, “You’re on your own, good luck.”
Unable to hold on any longer, the producer sat down with a loud “crack” as the plastic bin beneath him broke, and he ended up on the floor.
Sharp pieces of plastic jabbed into him, making him want to cry out but too afraid to do so.
The surrounding students only wanted to applaud Gu Shiyan immediately.
The station director cautiously glanced at Gu Shiyan before speaking up, “Mr. Gu, it’s my oversight. I haven’t properly supervised the program, nor have I shown enough concern for the contestants. I will make sure to rectify this
immediately.”
“Some mistakes can be rectified, while others cannot. I believe you may need to conduct a patriotic education session,” Gu Shiyan said in a calm tone.
Upon hearing this, the station director immediately broke into a cold sweat. The accusation of being unpatriotic was something the station couldn’t afford to bear.
If this matter escalated and spread, the entire TV station could face serious consequences, even the possibility of being shut down.
He nodded hastily. “Yes, I will arrange it immediately.”
Gu Shiyan didn’t linger any longer. After greeting Lu Miao, he left with Gu Ziheng.
The station director personally sent him to the car and heaved a sigh of relief. He immediately arranged for people to start making changes when he returned.
The recording of the program had yet to begin, but the new lounge was already prepared.
A group of students cheered excitedly in the spacious and bright lounge.”
Mighty Mr Gu! Long live Mr Gu!”
“Good lesson. Some of the staff members have almost forgotten who their ancestors are.”
“I heard that the original group of producers have all been fired.”
“I just went outside to take a look, and the foreign students have already changed back to their normal resting rooms.”
“I declare that Mr Gu will be my idol from now on!”
Some people even gathered around Lu Miao to gossip.” Lu Miao, what’s your relationship with Mr Gu?”
Another person next to them, who had noticed Gu Ziheng supporting Lu Miao when they entered, covered their mouth and whispered, “Are you the girlfriend of that Mr. Gu’s younger brother?”
It didn’t seem impossible for Mr. Gu to stand up for his siblings.
The corner of Lu Miao’s lips twitched. “He is my half-brother from a different mother.”
The people around them: ???
Half-brother from a different mother?
What kind of new family relationship was this?
Huang Zihao had some understanding of the situation, but since Lu Miao didn’t want others to know, he didn’t say anything.
The rules for the semifinals were that the remaining contestants would be paired up, and they would simultaneously challenge the same task. The one who completed it in the shortest time would win.
For Lu Miao’s turn, she drew the challenge of memorizing the snowy screens of fifty televisions within a limited time. Then, the audience would randomly select one snowy screen, and the challenger had to point out its corresponding
When the contestants in the lounge saw the challenge, they all exclaimed in disbelief.
The snowy screens all looked the same, didn’t they?
This was even more absurd than memorizing QR codes.
Huang Zihao sympathetically said to Lu Miao, “I don’t know whether to say you’re lucky or unlucky. You always get assigned the most insane tasks.”
Lu Miao did not think that there was anything wrong with this task. What troubled her was that she had unfortunately drawn the second day of the challenge.
In other words, not only would she have to stay here for a day, but she would also have to come back for another day tomorrow.
To her, time was money, and nothing was more annoying than wasting time. At noon, Gu Shiyan ordered takeout from Taste Square for all the students participating in the program. There was also afternoon tea and desserts in the afternoon.
This sparked envy among the people in the other studios at the television station who were recording their own shows simultaneously.
“Who exactly is this Lu Miao? She managed to make Mr Gu come to the TV station in person and even ordered takeout for the entire production team!”
“I don’t know who she is, but I secretly went to see her during lunch break.
She’s super beautiful! If she joined our show, she would definitely be the first.”
“Tsk, she could rely on her looks but insists on relying on her intelligence.
Compared to her, we’re like a bunch of losers.”
A group of young girls nearby chattered excitedly, full of admiration.
Listening to these words of praise and envy, Lu Siyu almost crushed the water bottle in her hand out of frustration.
She had put in so much effort, finally managing to gain prominence in the competition, and was just waiting for the show to air to become a star. But with Lu Miao’s arrival, all of her spotlight had been stolen away..
