Cry louder, I can't hear you.

Yun Qiao couldn't hold back any longer and stomped hard on his leather shoes!

"Sizzle—"

He hissed softly, and the pressure on his waist instantly dissipated.

Yun Qiao glared at him, then turned and opened the door to leave.

She was wearing high heels, and although they were chunky heels, anyone would feel pain if they stepped on them so hard.

That bastard deserved it!

"Yunqiao, why aren't you wearing lipstick?"

Upon arriving at the recording studio, Yun Qiao hadn't even met all the guests when Shen Shiyu reminded her.

Yun Qiao's expression changed slightly as she tried to figure out how to explain.

But Shen Shiyu didn't ask her to explain. Instead, she quickly took a lipstick from her own bag and handed it to her.

"Please redo it quickly."

It means "to re-fill," not "to apply."

That's an interesting statement.

Yun Qiao glanced at Shen Shiyu subtly, then her gaze shifted to the lipstick in Shen Shiyu's hand.

After a moment, he thanked her and took the lipstick from her hand.

Three years later, Shen Shiyu not only matured, but also seemed to have increased her emotional intelligence and IQ.

Shen Shiyu sees things more clearly than she does.

In the original novel, Shen Shiyu was portrayed as a dependent younger sister who relied on the male lead from beginning to end.

But the Shen Shiyu in front of me has none of that.

She is smart and independent.

While getting her makeup done, Yun Qiao glanced at the guest introductions provided by the production team.

Only then did she realize that Shen Shiyu was now a well-known photographer both at home and abroad, with a large studio and many top celebrities vying to book her schedule.

Today, she is undoubtedly a successful businesswoman.

That's something that the lame Chi Zhou can't compare to at all.

Despite being suppressed by Shen Suwei, the Chi family did not develop as well as in the novel, and their glory was completely overshadowed by Su Yuan.

Even Chi Zhou lost his eligibility to be the heir because of his lameness.

He's at most a rich kid these days.

The Chi family is managed by Chi Zhou's younger brother, Chi Ye.

The pilot episode was recorded live to generate buzz.

In addition to a single main shot, each non-celebrity guest and celebrity who participated in the recording had their own individual live stream shots.

However, since the show hadn't started yet, there weren't many casual viewers watching the live stream; only the celebrities' fans were watching. The fans only went to their idols' individual live streams, so there weren't many people watching the main live stream.

For the first recording, the guests didn't have any tasks. They mainly introduced themselves to each other and drew lots to determine the recording location for the first episode. The content was very boring, and the show had low viewership. Fans in the live stream were all cursing the terrible planning and calling the show incredibly boring.

The director was also under some pressure, so he sped up the recording and finished in one hour.

The person who drew the lot was Chi Zhou, and the recording location he drew was an island. To get to the island, you first need to take a boat.

No one objected.

However, originally the celebrity observation team did not need to go to the recording location; they only needed to watch the live broadcast from the studio.

But the fans in the live stream were unhappy.

[You called my brother over just so he could sit here and watch other people travel? Why do those ordinary people get to go on cruises and island getaways, while my brother is relegated to sitting here?]

In my opinion, if this show wants to be popular, it needs to be more flexible. It should be changed to have the celebrities go on vacation.

[Yeah, who wants to see this group of ordinary people going on vacation? I just want to see my Xinbao!]

Because viewers in the live stream kept saying they wanted to see their favorite celebrities go to the island, the director had no choice but to change the schedule and have the celebrity observation team go to the island as well.

This decision was approved by the fans in the live stream.

Some passersby, hearing that a program was being filmed and that the process had been altered based on suggestions from netizens, came to watch out of curiosity.

When the eight guests, five celebrity observers, and one host set off for the pier, the total number of viewers in the live broadcast room had increased from a few thousand at the beginning to tens of thousands.

Of course, the number of viewers in the live streams of celebrities like Li Ruoyan remained stable as always.

Yun Qiao had a vague feeling that this program was too casual, not like it was made for ratings, but more like it was used as a pretext to do something bad...

On the way, Yun Qiao secretly glanced at Shen Suwei several times.

He wanted to confirm whether he had orchestrated all of this.

But there's one thing that doesn't make sense.

The location for the lottery was chosen by Chi Zhou, and it was the fans who suggested that the celebrity observation team go along.

Shen Suwei did not utter a single word throughout the entire process.

What can he do in there?

Moreover, he probably wouldn't want Li Ruoyan to be with her.

It took more than two hours to get from the recording studio to the pier, and it was already completely dark when we boarded the ship.

The early winter sea breeze, carrying damp and cold air, rushed towards us, and as soon as everyone stepped onto the deck, the biting wind made them instinctively shrink their necks.

Although the production team reminded everyone in advance to prepare thick coats, the wind was too strong, and the hems of the coats were being blown around so loudly that even the sound of talking was half-distracted.

This severely affects the microphone's sound reception.

And the fans in the live stream were cursing again:

Why are you standing on the deck in such cold weather?

[So, Yan Ge's hands were all red from the cold, what's wrong with the production team?]

Why is Li Ruoyan staring blankly? What is he looking at?

Where can we look? The sea, of course.

Why is he keeping looking in that direction of the non-celebrity guests? Who is he looking at?

[Brother Yan is so dedicated, of course he's observing the non-celebrity guests, right? Isn't his role this time that of an observer?]

There were many comments in the live stream, but they were mostly in Li Ruoyan's personal live stream room.

Due to protests from fans, the director changed the schedule again, sending everyone back to their cabins.

Upon receiving instructions, no one lingered on the deck; they all immediately rushed into the cabin.

Yun Qiao wrapped her coat tighter and followed Shen Suwei side by side into the cabin.

The cabin was much warmer than the deck, with the heating on full blast and the lights bright, creating a stark contrast with the dark, cold sea outside.

Yunqiao looked out the window and, for some reason, as she looked at the calm, dark, and boundless sea, she wondered what would happen if someone accidentally fell in.

Did the production team have any rescue personnel on board?

It feels quite dangerous...

"What are you looking at?"

Shen Suwei walked up to her without her noticing.

Yun Qiao glanced subconsciously at the photographer who was filming her. In front of the camera, she couldn't very well scold Shen Suwei, and only said:

"Looking at the sea."

[This seems familiar to me, wasn't it trending on social media before?]

[When they introduced themselves, I didn't see them interact, so I thought I was mistaken. It seems it really is them.]

[Isn't Suyuan a pretty big company? Why would the boss of a big company come to record a variety show? Is Suyuan going bankrupt?]

[SuYuan going bankrupt? Are you kidding me? This show, you guys and I, is no ordinary program.]

【How can it not be simple?】

[Leaving aside the fact that a new show with no established intellectual property could attract a top star like Li Ruoyan, just look at Shen Suwei—his background is impressive, right? But among these non-celebrity guests, there are three others whose backgrounds are also quite remarkable.]

【who?】

[That guy named Chi Zhou, although he didn't mention his family background, he looked familiar to me, so I just looked him up. Do you know who he is? He's the young master of the Chi Group, a super rich man! And then there's Yun Qiao, the eldest daughter of the Yun family in Haicheng. And then there's Shen Shiyu, although I didn't find out her family background, she's a top photographer! None of these guests are simple people.]

What you're saying makes sense.
