Naturally, Tong Fei refused to leave. She sadly looked at Shen Xi, hoping to obtain his pity.
“It’s Qi Wu. This was all a plot..
Shen Xi did not even spare her a glance.
Tong Fei reluctantly lowered her eyes and then looked at Qi Wu with obvious hatred. “Don’t be so smug. I’ll expose you sooner or later!”
Qi Wu just walked past her and off the stage.
Tong Fei was completely ignored. With so many people watching, she was too ashamed to stay any longer.
With an angry flail of her arm, she stomped out of the lecture hall.
Shen Xi cleared his voice and did not say anything about what just happened.
Instead, he casually said, “Let’s continue with the class.”
The other contestants dared not say anything, so the class continued.
When Qi Wu returned to her seat, Tong Luo had yet to recover from the shock.
Qi Wu waved her hand in front of Tong Luo’s eyes.
Tong Luo snapped back to her senses, but her eyes were still misty from the staring.
Then, her eyes widened. “You just…”
She really could not believe that the arrogant and despotic woman on the stage was Qi Wu. Most importantly, her kind and sincere angel did not hesitate before slapping Tong Fei.
She was just…amazing!
Emotions surged in Tong Luo.
Qi Wu tilted her head and stared at her. “You were worried, right?”
Therefore, she chased Tong Fei out.
Hearing that, Tong Luo froze.
“I…” she cautiously said. “Did you do it because of what I said just now?”
Qi Wu nodded.
Tong Luo did not know what to say.
However, a thought eventually broke through the chaos to make itself known. Qi Wu was amazing! The gods must have pitied her tough life, so they sent Qi Wu down to save her!
After that, Tong Luo felt deeply worried.
“The Tong family is very powerful and influential in Jingdu. You’ve thoroughly angered Tong Fei. I’m afraid she’ll just backstab you now.” Qi Wu comforted her. “Don’t be scared.”
Tong Luo looked at her with a complicated expression.
Was Qi Wu’s backer so very powerful that she felt she could do anything?
However, she only knew of a few big shots in Jingdu…Whatever.
Tong Luo came to a decision.
She held Qi Wu’s hands with unprecedented sincerity and determination shining in her eyes. “Don’t worry. If Tong Fei targets you, I’ll destroy her even if I have to sacrifice mvself!”
When the filming started, Tong Luo entered the competition with a very clear utilitarian-oriented mindset. She even made sure everyone knew just how thorny she was.
However, over time, she started to show her softer side.
All of this was because of Qi Wu’s presence.
Qi Wu looked down at Tong Luo’s hands and blinked. “You don’t have to sacrifice yourself.”
That was because the Tong family would kill themselves off.
She was the most talented priestess ever seen. Her fate was closely tied to the star of Destiny.
As the high priestess, she communicated with the stars, foretold the future, and bore the joys and pains of the world. She was beyond blessed.
Jin Si’s fate was so remarkable that it required someone very special to change it.
In other words, anyone who dared make an enemy out of Qi Wu would be in trouble.
The Tong family might try to harm her, but the price they would pay was something they could not afford.
It was human nature to gossip, so everyone soon knew that Qi Wu had openly gone after Tong Fei in class.
Therefore, when Qi Wu walked into the cafeteria, everyone instantly turned to look at her.
Their eyes were filled with admiration.
She really was a true big shot. She was so brave!
“It’s fine. The viewers have eyes. They’ll see Tong Fei just got what she deserved. It has nothing to do with Qi Wu.”
Despite saying that, Jiang Xuxu was still shocked that Qi Wu had slapped Tong Fei across the face.
Even though it was part of a performance, it was a real slap!
Her angel really was a devil in disguise!
“Tong Fei is capable of anything for the sake of revenge,” Tong Luo darkly said.
Even Ke Lu, who had been quiet the entire time, was thinking hard about the situation.
However, Qi Wu remained calm despite being the main target.
She quietly ate her lunch.
After lunch, the production team made an announcement.
Tong Luo was aware that Tong Fei was not one to personally get her hands dirty, especially when scheming behind the scenes. Nevertheless, she was surprised to hear that their housemate, Yao Ning, was the one responsible.
Yao Ning was disqualified from the competition by the production team due to the destruction of public property and attacking another contestant.
Tong Luo did think much about the punishment.
However, she glanced at Qi Wu who was calm the entire time.
When she thought about how Qi Wu had changed her behavior to target Tong Fei, Tong Luo’s admiration for Qi Wu grew even stronger.
Why was Qi Wu so amazing?
In the afternoon, Tong Luo had a full schedule while Qi Wu had none.
However, Qi Wu did not stay idle.
That was because Chang Xun had called.
“Am I disturbing you?”
He had spoken with great care as if tending to a delicate flower that had just blossomed. It was quite a change compared to his usual brash tone.
“No, you aren’t.”
“It’s like this—how much do you know about the sports brand L&P?”
Qi Wu’s gaze shifted to the statue that had been locked in place by the production team.
“I nearly crashed into Tong Luo’s statue,” she softly replied.
Fortunately, Chang Xun had caught up on what happened in the first episode.
He would not have known what she meant otherwise.
The statue certainly was from L&P.
Chang Xun let out an awkward laugh. “Yes, that’s the one. L&P is the top sports brand in the country, and even A-list celebrities find it challenging to even ask for a collaboration. Still, their CEO personally wants you to become their brand ambassador. You’re still an amateur, yet you are given a great opportunity that is bound to attract the envy of many people. No need to be afraid though..
Chang Xun went to great lengths to provide Qi Wu with a crash course on endorsements, but he found himself at a loss when Qi Wu responded with visible confusion.
“What is a brand endorsement?”
Chang Xun was left speechless.
He now realized that his efforts had been in vain.
He hurriedly shoved a few cough drops into his mouth to soothe his throat before he patiently explained brand endorsements to Qi Wu.
Qi Wu was quick to grasp the concept.
“Will it be printed on paper like Jin Si’s posters?”
Chang Xun’s mouth twitched. “That’s just a formality. Why do you only remember Jin Si’s posters? I’ve explained so much, and you can’t even recall any of it.”
“I remember everything,” Qi Wu reassured him.
Chang Xun’s heart shattered as he thought about how he had given her numerous examples until it felt like his hair had turned gray during the process. He could not help but grumble, “You didn’t remember a thing! Why are you still thinking about Jin Si?”
Qi Wu fell silent for a moment.
“…Chang Xun, stop..”
