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

Qin Yunchu hesitated for a moment, then got up and ran over quickly.

The two found a secluded corner, and Qin Yaoyang finally spoke, "What's going on with your Chen Ya?"

Qin Yun Chu blushed: "What's wrong?"

Qin Yaoyang asked, somewhat doubting his own understanding, "I did call him. Did I not explain myself clearly?"

"What's wrong, Dad?" Qin Yun Chu asked anxiously.

Qin Yaoyang said in a low voice, "Didn't I tell him that as long as he holds on, everything will be fine? Why is he making such a big fuss? Didn't you talk to him about it?"

Qin Yun Chu was both amused and exasperated: "I called him, but he didn't answer. However, our relationship is really not what you think..."

Qin Yaoyang, however, completely ignored her words and continued speaking to himself:

"Could it be that he was young and impetuous, and felt he couldn't bear to perish in silence?"

Qin Yun Chu said, "Dad, you're overthinking it..."

"If this press conference turns into a farce, it will be very difficult to cover it up."

"You're overthinking it..."

With only a few minutes left until 8 o'clock, Qin Yaoyang patted his daughter's hand with unwavering expression and said:

"You go first. If things don't go well, cancel the press conference."

"..."

Qin Yunchu stepped onto the stage.

What else can we do? We can only pray that Chen Ya will bring Jiang Xinhai to the rescue soon.

As soon as she sat down, Director Tian gave instructions on the spot: "Attention all departments, we're about to start filming."

Qin Yunchu was taken aback: "Huh? Isn't it not 8 o'clock yet?"

Director Tian said, "Live broadcasts are usually scheduled a few minutes in advance, so we can't wait any longer."

We really can't wait any longer.

There were already nearly 12 people waiting in the black screen of the live stream room. If the live stream hadn't started by 8 o'clock, then there was an accident.

Qin Yunchu had no choice but to accept the situation, and the live stream started.

At the same time, a large number of comments flooded into the live stream.

"No way, are they really going to kick Li Xingliang out?"

"Where is my heart? Where is my heart? Where is my heart?"

"As it turned out, Li Xingliang wasn't there either, and neither was Jiang Xinhai..."

The reporters sitting below were already eager to try it out.

They quickly wrote down new questions in the notebooks where they already had the questions:

"We noticed that Jiang Xinhai wasn't present. Did the company ultimately not reach a settlement with her?"

"Was Jiang Xinhai absent from the scene because another dispute arose at the last minute, or because they hadn't reached an agreement in the first place?"

"Why was the announcement issued when it was uncertain whether Jiang Xinhai could attend? Was there any intention to coerce her with public opinion?"

……

The clock struck 8 o'clock.

Outside the main entrance to the press conference venue, all was quiet.

Qin Yun Chu covered her face.

Could Chen Ya really be in trouble?

……

At this moment, in the hospital ward.

Lao Zhai, Wang Qian, and Lao Tang were watching the live stream together.

Two full minutes passed before Old Zhai finally spoke, "Smashed it?"

Old Tang and Wang Qian looked at each other in bewilderment.

"No way?..."

Based on their understanding of Chen Ya, they knew he was always confident in his actions.

Not the kind of person who makes a lot of noise.

"Isn't Jiangxinhai not here?" Old Zhai's breathing became a few beats heavier.

Old Tang and Wang Qian's palms were sweating.

Chen Ya, what's wrong with you?! You've made such a huge mess, this isn't like you at all!

Old Zhai lay on the bed, speechless for a moment. After recovering, he felt a sense of pleasure.

See? This old man still has some experience in making judgments.

Old Zhai's wife walked over with a frown and said, "I told you not to look, but you insisted on looking. If you faint again and die in the line of duty, will the company compensate you?"

Old Zhai waved his hand: "What do you know? Go away."

"I don't understand! If I don't understand, don't make me stay here and take care of your every need. I've already taken three days off for you, and I haven't even gone to work!"

Old Tang and Wang Qian stood there, feeling a little awkward.

Just then, the screen started shaking.

Then a voice rang out: "As we can see, the media reporters have all arrived at the 'Poetic Life' set. However, our program team members have not yet all arrived. Please wait a moment."

In the bed next to Lao Zhai's, a man watching a live stream leaned against the bed and said:

"Oh no! The show's going to be canceled!"

Old Tang and Wang Qian both looked at him.

But they were also somewhat disheartened.

Just as this man said, if Jiang Xinhai hadn't come and had made such a fool of himself in front of the media, the show would have been a complete flop.

The live stream chat was filled with a barrage of vulgar and offensive comments.

On the streets at night, a black sports car weaved through the gaps, speeding along.

Finally, at top speed, it stopped on the road outside the press conference venue.

A series of tinkering sounds came from inside the car, followed by a complaining voice.

"You insisted on being affectionate with me, almost causing us to neglect our business..."

"Who told them to leave so late? Do they know how hard I had to put up with it?"

"Wouldn't it be better to come after we're done? It's not like I'm not waiting for you..."

"What if something else happens? When we were playing Ludo, I almost couldn't hold back when you used your piece to attack me..."

"...Xinhai, you're getting weirder and weirder. Put your clothes on and get out of the car."

A beautiful figure stepped out of the car, her high heels clicking on the ground with a captivating sound, her long, slender legs looking exceptionally striking.

When Jiang Xinhai walked into the press conference, even the host's voice involuntarily rose eight octaves:

"We see that our late member has finally arrived at the scene. It's Jiang Xinhai. I've been waiting for this moment for so long..."

Jiang Xinhai smiled gently, sat down gracefully, and said, "I'm sorry I'm late."

Qin Yun Chu, sitting next to her, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She felt weak all over, almost paralyzed.

At this moment, the number of comments in the live stream reached a new level.

In just a few minutes, the live stream's popularity has already surpassed that of the morning program.

The press conference host said, "Now, we will officially begin the press conference. There are two main agendas for this press conference. The first is to announce the latest developments of 'Poetic Life'."

After a pause, he said, "Now, to announce the latest developments, the production team has announced that due to contractual issues, member Li Xingliang has left the production team, while original member Jiang Xinhai has rejoined the team and moved into a mountain cabin."

Upon hearing this, the scene instantly erupted in chaos.

The host quickly said, "Now for the second agenda item, please ask questions in an orderly manner. Please ask your question, CCTV."

The reporter raised the microphone and asked, "Ms. Jiang Xinhai, why did you leave the team before? And why have you returned now?"

Before Jiang Xinhai could answer, another reporter stood up and asked loudly:

"Did you have a conflict with the production team? Could you disclose what kind of conflict occurred?"

His words were quickly followed by other reporters:

"Do you and Li Xingliang have some kind of conflict? Why didn't you join the show at the same time?"

"Ms. Jiang Xinhai, after suffering such humiliation from the production team, what is your motivation for returning to the show?"

"Were you kicked off the show because you announced your relationship with Zhichi?"

"Ms. Jiang Xinhai, what's the story behind your relationship with Zhichi? Are you living together?"

"Ms. Jiang Xinhai, were the works you co-created with Zhichi, 'Summer Wind' and 'Hill,' created because you were unhappy with Rayark Entertainment kicking you out of their team?"

"Ms. Jiang Xinhai, according to Zhichi's sister, Zhichi was once with another woman. What is your opinion on this rumor?"

"Ms. Jiang Xinhai, are you aware of the incident on Weibo where your fans and Li Xingliang's fans were vying for the top trending topics? What are your thoughts on this?"

"Ms. Jiang Xinhai, is kicking Li Xingliang out of the show a condition for your return?"

...In an instant, the entire live broadcast room was filled with noise!

Chapter 117 Chen Ya is Famous!

The host had to shout "Quiet!" several times to calm the excited reporters down.

The host cleared his throat awkwardly and said, "Excuse me, but please ask your questions in an orderly fashion, one at a time."

Jiang Xinhai spoke directly into the microphone:

"I heard all the questions just now. I simply refused to answer a few of them that I didn't want to answer. Now I'll just talk about the ones that I want to answer."

She paused, then looked up and said, "Yes, I have indeed returned to the 'Poetic Life' program."

The scene erupted in uproar.

"As for why I returned... it's because the air in the mountain cabin is fresh, because Xu Xiangxiao is a great cook, because that house is my old home right next door, and if there's any other reason... it's because the people from Rayark who came to negotiate with me were very nice."

As soon as he said this, a flurry of camera flashes went off. The reporter scribbled notes furiously in his notebook, practically breaking his pen in the process.

The number of comments in the live stream also reached a new high.

"Xin Hai is too lenient with such an ungrateful program!"

"This show was almost dead, and Xin Hai's return at this time is like a savior."

"What an angel! She really is... I'm going to cry!"

The reporters on the scene keenly caught her mention of the word "negotiation".

"So, Rhea did indeed have a disagreement with you? What were the specific negotiation processes like? What concessions did you make?"

Jiang Xinhai blushed when she heard the words "specific negotiation process".

"I can't reveal the specific negotiation process, but the final result I reached with Rayark Entertainment was very simple: I will return to the show and no other conditions will be added to the original contract."

Hearing her words, the reporters below erupted in uproar again.

Of course, most people's choice to respond to her statement was—not to believe it.

"Then why did Li Xingliang leave the show? Wasn't it your condition?"

Jiang Xinhai smiled and said, "I am not familiar with Li Xingliang. During the negotiations, we did not discuss any topics related to him."

Her answer was both simple and nonchalant: Not familiar.

This answer completely broke the defenses of the boy band fans in the live stream.

"You're not familiar with me, are you? I've been a top trending topic for so many years, and you dare say you're not familiar with me? Do you still want to work in this industry?"
