I was exposed for adding my female boss to my group of female friends.

"..."

Lu Qianzi thought with a bit of a sweat, "Does that mean that apart from this one, everything else is possible?"

Xiao Qing clasped his hands together and bowed to everyone, saying, "Such a heavy burden cannot be placed on my shoulders alone. I have sloping shoulders, and they will be ruined if I put any pressure on them. I hope you can all help me and try to avoid any mishaps."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

The girls are all kind-hearted at heart. Even if they have some petty schemes, they are all broad-minded and not too mercenary.

However, after Xiao Qing finished speaking, there was nothing left to talk about. There was still a long time before the plane took off, and the wait was getting boring.

Xiao Qing took out her phone and suddenly asked, "Do you guys watch variety shows?"

"I won't watch it." Lu Qingxuan shook her head and took a book out of her bag. "I never watch any entertainment programs."

Liu Ruying also shook her head: "I won't watch it either."

Lu Qianzi wanted to say she would watch it herself, but then she remembered that she had been very busy lately and hadn't watched any variety shows in a long time, so she simply gave up.

Qi Yunche said, "No wonder they're all top students. I like watching variety shows when I have free time."

Xiao Qing immediately asked, "Have you watched 'Idol Producer'?"

Qi Yunche shook his head: "But I rarely watch domestic variety shows. What's wrong with that?"

“Ah,” Lu Qianzi said, “I’ve heard of this. It’s the younger sister of President Qin who’s in charge.”

Xiao Qing got excited and said, "Have you seen it? This show is really interesting!"

Lu Qianzi said, "No, if it's Xiao Qin who's in it, I'll definitely watch it. I'm a big fan of hers. But I don't know much about her sister."

“How come Yun Chu has so many female fans?” Xiao Qing laughed. “I’m very close to Yun Chu! Just between us, she’s the one hosting this show behind the scenes.”

Upon hearing Qin Yunchu's name, Lu Qingxuan couldn't help but close her book and ask, "Do you know Qin Yunchu?"

"Yeah, you guys don't know, do you? She used to be in charge of the book department and worked with me. We were really close," Xiao Qing said smugly.

She paused, then realized something and asked, "Do you know her too?"

"It's a pity we only met once," Lu Qingxuan said.

Liu Ruying teased, "Didn't you sleep with her all night? You didn't want to get up the next day."

Lu Qingxuan blushed and said, "What? It's just that there aren't enough beds in the room."

Lu Qianzi suddenly felt excluded and asked, "Huh? What happened? When did this happen?"

"It was after Old Master Lu's birthday banquet that day that we went to a hotel with President Gu and Young Master Qin and stayed there for one night," Liu Ruying explained. "President Gu told us a lot of things."

At this point, she and Lu Qingxuan tacitly agreed not to continue the conversation.

After all, there are many confidential matters concerning Chen Ya, and we can't just blurt them out everywhere.

Xiao Qing was extremely disappointed that she hadn't been able to promote "Idol Trainee" and said:

"Are you guys really not watching this variety show? There's a songwriter on it who's really unique, I've never heard of him before. He has a love-hate relationship with the contestant, it's so much fun."

Lu Qianzi leaned on the table and asked, "Teacher Xiao, how did President Qin's sister perform on the show?"

"No need to call me Teacher Xiao, just call me Xiao Qing," Xiao Qing said with a smile. "As for President Qin's sister, all I can say is that she is extremely capable!"

"Really?" Lu Qianzi asked curiously.

“Especially her collaboration with Chen Liang, oh, Chen Liang is the very talented new songwriter I was talking about,” Xiao Qing said. “The song they collaborated on before, ‘I Remember,’ is super good. I’ll play it for you.”

After saying that, she brought up the music platform on her phone, found "I Remember" and started playing it.

After listening quietly for a while, Lu Qianzi covered her mouth and said, "Oh, so this is where this song comes from? I've been hearing this song a lot lately."

“Yes, I hear it all the time,” Qi Yunche said. “This song is really popular; you can hear it everywhere.”

Lu Qingxuan then asked Xiao Qing, "What's the name of this song? On which platform is it available?"

"I Remember" is available on all platforms.

Lu Qingxuan quietly found the song on her phone and added it to her favorites with a little red heart.

Xiao Qing smiled and said, "How about it? Don't you think it sounds great? Do you want to watch this show?"

Lu Qingxuan said, "I'll watch it if I have time."

Xiao Qing was quite disappointed.

The song was released, but the show wasn't.

Lu Qingxuan put on her headphones and started listening to "I Remember" on repeat.

It actually sounds pretty good.

As for Liu Ruyan standing to the side, Xiao Qing had no intention of promoting the variety show at all.

Given her personality, it's easy to tell that she wouldn't be interested in variety shows.

Thinking of this, Xiao Qing picked up her phone, logged onto Pineapple, and started scrolling through videos of Chen Liang and Jin Lan.

Chen Ya's face appeared frequently on the phone screen.

Unfortunately, none of the women on the back of the phone had their own thoughts, which no one noticed.

……

Chapter 451 Yandere is terrifying

Xiao Qing had actually met Chen Ya once before, but that was a long time ago.

At that time, she had just revealed the true identities of Jin Yong and Gu Long to Qin Yun Chu and others, and she went to Qin Yun Chu's company to become a little fangirl.

However, she only dared to peek at Chen Ya that time, without saying a word, let alone exchanging contact information.

Given their brief encounter and the fact that he used the alias Chen Liang on the show, which made a significant difference in his appearance, Xiao Qing didn't immediately connect the two and failed to recognize Chen Ya.

One of the functions of Chen Ya's magical glasses is to make the wearer look "ordinary," so that they can't be recognized if they dive into a crowd, and people who don't know them well can't remember what they look like at all.

If it were Liu Ruying or Lu Qingxuan, they would definitely recognize Chen Ya, but unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, they weren't interested in the variety show.

...While the women boarded the plane, Chen Ya had just finished playing chess with Gu Yuqing.

The two were evenly matched, but unfortunately Chen Ya was a cut above the rest and used some underhanded tactics to break Gu Yuqing's composure.

In the following rounds, Chen Ya used a move called "Golden Hook Double Slide Clamping Chariot and Cannon," treating the opponent's Chu River and Han Border as nothing, moving in and out at will, and firing cannons at the opponent's palace. Even the proud Gu Yuqing began to ask for a draw.

It wasn't until almost 6 p.m. that he remembered he still had something important to do.

"Oh no, there's a game tonight."

Gu Yuqing lay lazily on the sofa: "What competition? I'm the sponsor, I'll just rig the game and let you win."

"It's a pity you're not the only sponsor." Chen Ya kissed her on the cheek. "I just gave the song to the contestant and left, not even knowing if they could sing it."

"Who cares if she can sing or not? If she can't sing, that's perfect for eliminating her." Gu Yuqing lay on the sofa, wearing stockings, her two little ice cream cones swaying back and forth.

Gu Yuqing is like that; she never cares about the life or death of others.

"I'm leaving." Chen Ya gave her one last kiss.

"I love you." Gu Yuqing looked at him tenderly until Chen Ya left.

A while after Chen Ya left, Gu Yuqing suddenly remembered:

Isn't the contestant Chen Ya was talking about Jin Lan?

If you're worried about the players, aren't you just worried about Jin Lan?

Thinking of this, a surge of jealousy welled up inside her, and she called out repeatedly, "Xiao Shi, Xiao Shi, come here quickly!"

Secretary Shi, who had been waiting outside, rushed in. He paused slightly when he saw Gu Yuqing's flushed cheeks with an unusual glow, then heard Gu Yuqing give her instructions:

"Quickly find me a nice dress!"

"Is it for some kind of occasion?" Secretary Shi asked, sweating profusely.

Yes! Hurry up!

……

When Chen Ya rushed back to the hotel, Jin Lan was crying and searching for him everywhere, while the other contestants had already packed their things and were ready to go to the venue.

Upon seeing Chen Ya, Jin Lan immediately ran over crying, "Why are you so late? The competition is about to start!"

"What's the rush?" Chen Ya looked Jin Lan up and down. "Come on, let's go to the karaoke room and see how your practice is going."

"We'll be leaving in 30 minutes!" Jin Lan shouted.

"What are you yelling about? Stop shouting."

After Chen Ya finished speaking, Jin Lan immediately dared not utter a sound. She was now completely obedient to Chen Ya, and dared not go west if he said to go east. It can only be said that she had been successfully tamed.

“30 minutes is enough,” Chen Ya said. “Also, no crying, crying counts as time.”

Jin Lan wiped away her tears with her T-shirt sleeve and followed Chen Ya to the karaoke room. This scene was witnessed by the other contestants who were ready to go.

"What are they doing? They're so lazy, only starting to practice singing now?" Guo Lichuan said with dissatisfaction.

Jia Yi gave a cold laugh and said, "Isn't this a good thing? Their shirking responsibility is good for us, isn't it?"

"Even last-minute cramming can be effective," Guo Xiaoran said with a hint of sarcasm. "You always have to let people cram at the last minute."

"It's obvious that the two of them still can't get along within the team, and Chen Liang is determined to eliminate Jin Lan," Jia Yi analyzed. "It's a pity that people outside are still hyping up this fake CP."

Guo Xiaoran said, "Let's not discuss this anymore. If the paparazzi hear this, it'll cause trouble again."

"I'd love for this to happen!" Jia Yi raised his voice. "Putting this kind of CP together is disgusting to those who know the truth!"

That's what he said, but deep down he was both envious and jealous of Chen Liang's ability to create a CP (couple pairing).

In the past few days, Chen Liang has not posted anything on his Weibo account, yet he has gained 80 followers out of thin air.

Jia Yi secretly spies on Chen Liang's Weibo every day, and he gets furious when he sees the speed at which Chen Liang's followers are growing. He has been in the industry for several years, while Chen Liang has only been promoting a CP (couple pairing) for a few days, and his number of followers is almost the same as his.

Although not all of these are CP fans, who wouldn't be envious of this massive amount of traffic?

Guo Xiaoran, however, did not have this concern. She raised her head and walked away arrogantly.

Jin Lan has been practicing singing very hard these past few days, but after listening to his performance, his conclusion is that it's laughable.

He didn't understand this kind of cheesy song. How could anyone still write it nowadays? Wouldn't it be a waste to put it on a competition? Especially in front of Ren Jinqing.

Although he had prepared the wrong song beforehand, he quickly corrected it.

He believed that his songs were absolutely no worse than Chen Liang's, and that, at least in Mr. Ren's opinion, his literary talent was far superior.

Before he left, Qin Yunshang's words behind him made him stumble.

"Have you noticed that Chen Liang isn't wearing his glasses again today?"

Yes, that's right!

Qin Yunshang peeked out, eager to see more. The handsome guy was so pleasing to the eye; seeing him was a real treat.

Lu Chujiu's eyes were full of envy as she said, "It seems like he wasn't wearing his glasses a few days ago. I saw him briefly in the hallway and tried to say hello, but he ignored me."

She felt both satisfied and disappointed. Back when she was at Rayark, she thought Chen Liang was definitely a promising talent, especially handsome without his glasses.

The disappointment is that now everyone knows, and she no longer has this secret to herself.

Hearing their conversation, Yu Xiaoxiao leaned over and said, "Really? Chen Liang isn't wearing his glasses? Where is he? I'll go check!"

She wanted to run to the karaoke room for one last look, but the production crew urged her to get in the car, so she had to give up with regret.

Guo Lichuan, standing to the side, complained, "Sister Xiaoxiao, aren't we enough handsome guys here?"

Yu Xiaoxiao looked Guo Lichuan up and down, then shook her head mercilessly: "Sorry, I'm not trying to discourage you, but you're far from it."

Guo Lichuan was heartbroken and muttered under his breath, "What's the use of being handsome? I don't know where he's been running around these past few days, he's ruined the show, his revival armor is going to fall off next round!"

"The competition hasn't even started yet, so be careful not to get too cocky!" Yu Xiaoxiao warned.

Guo Lichuan turned around and secretly stuck out his tongue. He was the type to strive, so he couldn't stand players who just gave up.

...Upon arriving at the karaoke room, Chen Ya sat down and said to Jin Lan, "You can sing a cappella first."

Jin Lan cleared her throat, then suddenly remembered something and asked timidly, "Can I add a dance?"

"dance?"

"Because the song is relatively simple, I choreographed a dance myself," Jin Lan said. "Would you like me to sing and dance along for you right now?"
