Entertainment: Who exactly is trying to whitewash me?

Lu Ang looked at Zhou Lei.

The other person's face was ashen, and they looked somewhat frightened, but were trying hard to appear calm.

Lu Ang's expression suddenly changed, his eyes instantly turning sharp.

At the same time, he suddenly raised his right hand upwards, creating a gust of wind.

Zhou Lei's pupils contracted sharply, and he instinctively jerked backward, his neck stiffening.

It looked just like a frightened turtle that had tucked its head inside.

But Lu Ang's hand only reached halfway up the air and then paused there.

Then, she swept her hair back over her forehead and combed it back.

He ran a hand through his hair.

[Zhou Lei's hater rating +250]

Startled, Zhou Lei immediately realized that he had embarrassed himself again.

Moreover, based on his understanding of Lu Ang, he was certain that Lu Ang had done this on purpose.

Lu Ang might even mock him right away, asking him why he's hiding.

His mind raced, and he immediately tried to find a way to salvage the situation.

Then he immediately covered his waist with one hand.

"Ouch... my back hurts..." Zhou Lei immediately said, while also trying to save face by giving a wry smile and explaining, "It's an old injury from filming action scenes before, it's really... been with me for many years."

Lu Ang: "..."

Damn it, they've gotten smarter.

Unable to mock the other party and gain more haters, Lu Ang could only helplessly lower his hand.

At the same time, he spoke slowly.

"You object?"

He leaned forward, closing the distance between himself and Zhou Lei: "Little Zhou, tell me, why are you against it? You've got your eye on this sea-view room too? Trying to take it from me?"

"you!"

Zhou Lei cannot accept the nickname "Little Zhou".

He got angry and lashed out.

After venting his anger, he forced himself to hold it in.

Taking a deep breath, she explained, "Who...who's trying to take your house?"

He looked away, not daring to meet Lu Ang's gaze again, his voice stiff: "What I mean is, we're both men, we should act like gentlemen. Your ocean-view master bedroom sounds like the best room in the villa, it should be given to a lady."

"This is called respecting women, don't you understand?"

He seemed to have finally found a reasonable excuse, and his tone became slightly firmer in the last sentence.

But she still didn't dare to look at Lu Ang.

Lu Ang listened without showing any expression on his face, but inwardly he clicked his tongue.

I thought you were so tough.

Coward.

He glanced at the system panel out of the corner of his eye.

[Zhou Lei's hater rating +250]

...Alright, seeing that your contribution to haters is consistent, I'll let you off the hook.

Lu Ang ignored Zhou Lei and turned his head to look at the three female guests next to him.

Su Wanqing, Jiang Nian, Lin Shishi.

His gaze swept across the three faces, his expression suddenly turned serious, and he fell silent.

Seeing this, Zhou Lei secretly felt smug.

It seems my "gentleman's theory" worked.

Lu Ang has been put on a moral high ground and is now in an awkward position.

But now that he's giving up the room, it will only be credited to him.

This is truly killing two birds with one stone.

He made Lu Ang suffer a loss, and the female guest thank him—a win-win situation!

He glanced at Lin Shishi, then at Su Wanqing and Jiang Nian, pondering to himself.

Regardless of who Lu Ang ultimately gives the house to, his words will certainly garner him some goodwill from the female guests.

To be honest, he liked all three girls quite a bit.

Jiang Nian is pure and beautiful, a natural beauty, and has a well-developed figure.

Lin Shishi is a model, and her figure and temperament are undoubtedly excellent, and she is also extremely beautiful.

There are just a few traces of artificiality.

However, this woman is probably only good for playing around; she can't go too far.

Therefore, Su Wanqing is still the best choice!

This is also his real goal in participating in this program!

Moreover, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Su Wanqing likely participated in the program for her own sake.

Therefore, the probability of me being with Su Wanqing should be the highest!

Zhou Lei was secretly pleased with himself.

Lu Ang finally spoke.

"you."

Lu Ang looked at the three ladies and asked seriously, "Do you want this house of mine?"

The problem came suddenly.

The three female guests were all taken aback.

Su Wanqing crossed her arms, raised an eyebrow, and wore a half-smile on her face without saying a word.

Jiang Nian blinked her round almond-shaped eyes, looked at Lu Ang, then at Lin Shishi, and pouted her lips, as if she wanted to say something.

But in the end, he remained silent.

She felt that something was wrong.

Although I admire the other person very much.

But based on what she knew, this Brother Lu Ang didn't seem like the type to easily give away benefits.

Lin Shishi's reaction was the most direct.

Her eyes lit up, almost sparkling.

Master bedroom with ocean view!

She just drew the second room on the right on the second floor.

Furthermore, after drawing the photo, I received it from the staff.

Her house was, to put it simply, terrible!

It was practically the worst one!

There isn't even a private bathroom!

You need to go out to use the restroom at night!

How can that be allowed?

This will be a major blow to her image!

She regretted it as soon as she saw the photos of the house and was thinking about how to change to another one.

But I never had the chance.

But now the opportunity has arrived!

This is the master bedroom with an ocean view!

Her room was worlds apart from the master bedroom with the ocean view!

That's the room with the best view and the softest bed!

She almost blurted out "I want it".

But seeing that neither Su Wanqing nor Jiang Nian made a move, he swallowed his words back.

He simply looked at Lu Ang and nodded vigorously.

"Brother Lu Ang, are you... are you really willing to give it up?"

Her voice was sweet, with a hint of cautious probing.

Lu Ang did not answer her, but looked at the three of them again and asked again.

"So, all three of you want this house, right?"

Su Wanqing finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.

She rolled her eyes, shook her head, and gave me a "I knew it" look.

Jiang Nian became even more certain of her intuition, and she quietly shifted her hips back a little.

He lowered his head, pretending to study the pattern on his thermos.

Only Lin Shishi stared longingly at Lu Ang, nodding vigorously.

"Yes, yes, yes! We all want them!"

Afraid of missing this opportunity, she quickly added, "Since Sister Su and Sister Jiang Nian don't seem very interested, then... then give it to me? My room happens to be nearby, I... I'll help you carry your luggage! No charge!"

After she finished speaking, she felt that her reason was quite good, and her smile became even sweeter.

Lu Ang was somewhat helpless when he saw that neither Su Wanqing nor Jiang Nian were fooled.

He originally wanted the three girls to fight over it, and then he would give it to none of them, thus gaining more fans.

But I never expected it.

Su Wanqing and Jiang Nian actually saw through it!

In the end, only Lin Shishi fell for the trick.

It seems these guests have gotten used to my previous methods.

Lu Ang felt somewhat helpless.

He didn't care about the other guests; his main fear was that the audience was already familiar with his style and approach.

After that, it will only become more and more difficult for him to gain hater points.

but.

Lu Ang had naturally considered these issues as well.

I'm not particularly worried.

I've been a little black guy who loves fried dough sticks for so many years.

His self-deprecating humor is not limited to just this one method.

As Lu Ang pondered, his gaze settled on Lin Shishi's face.

Although only this one person fell for it.

But even a small mosquito is still meat.

Don't miss out on the potential for haters!

So he grinned and chuckled.

"You want it?"

Lin Shishi nodded frantically.

She really wanted it.

Lu Ang laughed even harder, his smile as smug as could be.

"Hehe, still not giving it to me~"

As he spoke, he turned around and walked to the sofa.

The living room was deathly silent again.

It lasted for a full three seconds.

then……

"ah!!!!!"

Lin Shishi finally couldn't hold back anymore, letting out a suppressed roar, her eyes even turning slightly red.

[Lin Shishi's hater value +500]

Lu Ang immediately turned around: "Oh dear, are you crying?"

Lin Shishi felt even more aggrieved; she had originally intended to take a while to calm down.

At that moment, tears immediately welled up in my eyes.

[Lin Shishi's hater value +500]

Gu Yan, standing nearby, finally couldn't stand it anymore.

At the same time, I know that now is the time for me to step forward.

So he stood up, a helpless smile on his face.

"Mr. Lu, let's forget about it."

Lu Ang immediately straightened his gaze.

Although the identity of this Gu Yan is unclear.

However, judging from the other party's emotional stability, clothing, and generosity,

This person is undoubtedly wealthy.

We might have to steal their gold coins later, so there's no need to fall out now.

He immediately nodded.

"No problem! Mr. Gu has paid my salary before, so I'll give him face! If Mr. Gu says it's alright, then I'll let it go."

Gu Yan pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, his eyes behind the lenses filled with speechlessness.

He shook his head and let out a long sigh.

For some reason, he felt that he no longer had any emotional fluctuations.

As if he already knew the other person well, he seemed to be able to guess what the other person would say before Lu Ang even opened his mouth.

[Li Zhouneng's hater value +200]

[From...]

The system notification sounds blared incessantly, almost in a continuous barrage.

Lu Ang was overjoyed as he watched the numbers scrolling rapidly across the system panel.

This is a huge profit.

Out of the corner of his eye, he even noticed that the number of haters on Director Liu and Assistant Director Li's side was also skyrocketing.

Tsk, these two are so idle!

Are directors all this free?

I'll become a director someday, dangdang.

Why are they giving so much value to haters?

I didn't do anything to them!

Were these two secretly cursing me all along?

……

On the other side...

Liu Xin and Li Zhouneng, the assistant director, looked helplessly at the massive barrage of comments.

"This is outrageous! Is it fun to play games with others?"

"Exactly, if you don't want to give it, then don't! You're just deliberately trying to disgust people here."

"He made that girl cry! That Lu Ang is a real jerk!"

"Lin Shishi is so beautiful, but her eyes are red. It's so heartbreaking."

"Is Lu Ang even a man? He can still laugh when this beautiful woman is crying like that?!"

"I knew Lu Ang wasn't here for a dating reality show! Who could be with someone like him!"

"Anyone who goes on a date with him is really unlucky."

"I feel sorry for Shishi for a second!"

"Shishi looks even more beautiful when she cries, I really want to protect her..."

"That's enough, you guys upstairs. You're all such spineless simps. No matter how much you fawn over her, she's not yours!"

"Exactly, you feel sorry for someone who cries? Who do you think you are? Do you even have the right to?"

"There are too many simps, can't they just shut up already?!"

"I was just watching for fun, why are you making such a big deal out of it?"

"No way, no way, surely no one doesn't know this is a variety show? To put it bluntly, it's all scripted!"

"that is!"

"Can't you speak properly? Who are you calling a simp?! What's wrong with me feeling sorry for a beautiful woman?!"

"What's wrong? Can't we even criticize a simp?"

……

The comments section is now filled with arguments.

Li Zhou glanced at Lu Ang's smug smile on the screen, his brows furrowed so deeply they could trap a fly.

"Director Liu, this... this Lu Ang is absolutely outrageous!"

He snapped out of his daze, lowered his voice, and said with obvious displeasure, "It's one thing to steal a room, but now they're publicly harassing the female guests and disrupting the program's flow. Won't this have a negative impact on our show's image?"

Liu Xin waved his hand, interrupting him.

"What image?"

Liu Xin stared at the screen, his eyes full of shrewdness.

"You need to understand why we invited Lu Ang here."

"He's a Category D celebrity, rife with scandals, his reputation is terrible, and his career might even be over. We invited him because of the controversy and buzz surrounding him."

"All the things he's doing now—acting like a diva, stealing rooms, threatening the audience, teasing guests…which one of them isn't sensational? Which one wouldn't trend on social media?"

Liu Xin became increasingly animated as he spoke: "That's exactly what we want him to do! Once this wave of hype builds up and the ratings go up, we'll replace him as soon as the third season ends. That would perfectly meet the public's demands and requests, wouldn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhouneng immediately realized what was happening and his eyes widened in understanding!

"I get it! I get it! So that's how it is! Right... Anyway, he's only recording three episodes, and he'll be gone when his contract expires. These three episodes are just the right time to squeeze out the last bit of value from him. Let him act up, since he's the one getting scolded. Once the three episodes are over, our show can clean up the mess."

The director and assistant director exchanged a glance.

They both saw the same calculation and smugness in each other's eyes.

Then, they all simultaneously revealed sinister smiles.

After laughing for two seconds, Liu Xin suddenly felt a gaze fixed on him from behind.

He turned his head.

They saw Xia Xiaoyue, the assistant Shen Lan had left behind, standing behind them with her arms crossed, rolling her eyes at them with a look of anger, disdain, and a hint of grievance.

The smiles on Liu Xin and Li Zhouneng's faces froze instantly.

The air in the room suddenly became quiet.

The awkwardness was spreading.

One of the most embarrassing things in the world.

You spoke ill of others, and they caught you or someone close to them.

A while later.

Liu Xin coughed lightly, looked away, and pretended to be focused on the monitor.

Li Zhouneng rubbed his nose, turned around, and muttered under his breath, "Is the air conditioning set too high? It's a bit cold..."

At the same time, both of them cursed Lu Ang eight hundred times in their hearts.

It's all that kid's fault; he made us look bad...

Xia Xiaoyue rolled her eyes at their blatant attempt to cover up their misunderstanding.

But she didn't say much.

After all, Lu Ang did all of these things himself.

What both of them said was true.

only……

She turned her head and looked back at Lu Ang on the monitor screen.
