With Lu Miao’s arrival, she had stolen all of the spotlight from Lu Siyu.
Throughout the entire television station, no matter where you went or which production team you encountered, everyone was discussing her.
Another girl approached curiously and asked, “By the way, Siyu, I remember you’re also from Luo City, right? Do you know her?”
Upon hearing this, the others immediately gathered around, looking at her with curiosity.
“Yeah, that’s right. You both have the surname Lu, and your ages are similar.
Could there be some kind of family relationship between you two?”
Lu Siyu clenched her teeth and deliberately spoke vaguely, “Well, we do have a distant family relationship. However, she grew up in the countryside and only arrived in the big city a couple of months ago, so she may have a few small issues in her way of speaking and doing things. I went to see her a few times before, but it seems like she doesn’t like me. After that, we haven’t had any contact.”
Although her words were ambiguous and didn’t specify anything, the underlying implication was that Lu Miao had a bad temper and was difficult to get along with.
“Wow, I really couldn’t tell. When I saw her sitting quietly in the corner, I thought she was a little shy. It turns out that she’s not easy to get along with. “The girl who secretly went to see Lu Miao sighed.
Another person beside her added, “Those students from the countryside always have poor academic performance. Only a few of them can make it to university each year. The contestants on ‘Super Brain’ are all geniuses. Could it be that she used some special connections to participate?”
Lu Siyu raised her hand and brushed her hair behind her ear. “Don’t say that. Zhenhai High School has always had strict admission standards. When she enrolled, she was admitted as a special talent by the principal based on her exceptional performance in international math competitions. She came to participate in the program this time because of her own strength. I believe in her.”
Hearing these comments, everyone instantly believed that Lu Miao must have used her connections to get in.
Anyone participating In a talent snow or competition aesmsecl tnose pnvuegea individuals who didn’t put in any effort but still snatched away opportunities from others.
“Heh, what special talent? She’s just a countryside girl who probably doesn’t even know what an international math competition is. I bet she used connections. I hate people who rely on privilege the most.”
“Exactly! Those who participated in ‘Super Brain’ with her must have terrible luck for eight generations.”
Listening to the surrounding voices of dissatisfaction, Lu Siyu finally vented some frustration.
Entertainment industry scandals spread faster than clarifications, and they were more enticing. Even if Lu Miao tried to clear her name later, not many people would pay attention.
These scandals would haunt her for a lifetime.
During the break in Lu Yinan’s esports program at Studio 3, he went outside to buy some ointment for treating bruises and injuries.
When he arrived at the door of Lu Miao’s dressing room, he hesitated for a moment but ultimately decided not to enter.
He found a staff member outside and asked them to deliver the ointment inside, instructing them not to reveal who it was from and to say that it was provided by the production team.
The next day, when it was Lu Miao’s turn for the challenge, she once again amazed the host, mentors, and all the production staff.
Her challenge was even more absurd and extreme than the QR code challenge from before, yet she completed it in just three minutes.
It was as if she had only glanced at the row of televisions with flickering snowflakes.
The other contestant in the challenge had only managed to look at a few screens, and even the audience below hadn’t caught a clear glimpse of the TV brand before she had already succeeded in the challenge.
The competing contestant was completely dumbfounded, feeling like throwing things and leaving.
It was as if a high-level boss had entered a novice’s village!
This was too much of a bullying tactic!
The program director, on the other hand, was ecstatic. He had a hunch that this year’s show would be even more popular than previous years with the addition of Lu Miao, an extraordinary contestant.
He already had a slogan in mind for promoting Lu Miao: “A deity descending to Earth!”
The program was only partially recorded before post-production, with several episodes edited and aired first. They would then assess the viewership and adjust the subsequent recording schedule accordingly.
There was still a break before the next recording. All the students who had advanced could go back first and wait for the next recording to be notified.
When the show was finally over and they had some free time, Lu Miao wanted to take the opportunity to investigate the man she had met at the stone gambling den and what conspiracy the person who had attacked Gu Shiyan behind his back was up to.
Unexpectedly, Elder Sun got the news from somewhere and knew that she had come to Beijing. He insisted that Gu Shiyan bring her to his research lab to take a look.
His welcoming enthusiasm was too much for Lu Miao to refuse. She had no choice but to put aside other things and go to Elder Sun’s research lab with Gu Shiyan.
As soon as she reached the door of the laboratory, she smelled a strong medicinal fragrance. In the huge laboratory, there was an entire wall of transparent display cabinets.
Each grid contained a medicinal ingredient.
Other than the medicinal herbs that were often used, there were all kinds of rare medicinal herbs, from the endangered five-split yellow lotus to the extremely rare natural bezoar, as well as the thousand-year-old wild ginseng that had grown into a human shape and tied with a red rope.
In the middle were all kinds of experimental and pharmaceutical equipment.
Further in, there was another room connected to the research lab. It was a complete set of Chinese herbal medicine thermo-stable planting systems.
This research room was simply Lu Miao’s dream room!
Lu Miao raised her hand and touched the display cabinet beside her, her eyes shining as she looked at the medicinal herbs inside.
Elder Sun walked over with a smile, “Miss Lu Miao, how about coming to my lab? You’re welcome to use any medicinal herbs you need. Just let me know, and I’ll make sure to provide them.”
Lu Miao was quite tempted, but it was the research lab itself that caught her interest.
Regrettably, she replied, “Elder Sun, I really don’t understand any medical techniques. I just learned some basic knowledge and herbal remedies from the village’s barefoot doctors because my grandmother often fell ill in the countryside.”
Elder Sun smiled like a sly old fox, “Not understanding is not a problem. You can learn slowly. When you come, I’ll personally guide you. Besides, what’s wrong with herbal remedies? Traditional Chinese medicine doesn’t discriminate. As long as it can treat the illness, it’s a good prescription.”
Enthusiastically, Elder Sun showed Lu Miao around the lab and introduced her to several ongoing research projects.
Mr Gu, who was a distinguished guest wherever he went, had now become a little follower that no one cared about.
However, Mr Gu was willing and did not seem unhappy at all.
It was rare for him to see Lu Miao showing such an obvious interest in something. Her eyes were so bright that they were about to shine. She was so cute.
A smile flashed across his eyes.
He had previously visited the small laboratory that Lu Miao had renovated at Lingyue Manor with Gu Jinxi and the others. It was filled to the brim, but compared to this lab, it seemed to be lacking quite a few things.
He raised his eyes and scanned his surroundings carefully, taking note of them one by one.
Turning his head, he saw a familiar figure walking in from the door. His face instantly darkened..
