After the True Heiress Travels Back
Chapter 531 No Retreat

Chapter 531: Chapter 531 No Retreat

Shi Yaoguang was unaware that Shang Minghao had inadvertently stabbed Shi Yiqing and Quan Sicheng in the back for her.

Even if she had known, she wouldn’t have taken it to heart.

After all...

They were not yet qualified.

After dealing with the aftermath of the earthquake in the northwest, she stayed at Imperial Capital University for two days, passed the professor’s assessment, and then took leave to prepare for the variety show recording.

The conditions for students to take leave at Imperial Capital University were neither strict nor lenient.

But to be able to take leave without it being recorded in one’s file was not easy.

Before taking leave, Shi Yaoguang had already passed the assessment.

The level of the assessment was, well, about the standard of a final exam.

When students learned that Shi Yaoguang was going to take leave at the start of the semester, many felt it was a pity.

They had hoped to attend classes with this "academic god" for a term.

Who would have known she didn’t need to attend at all?

On second thought, being able to see her on screen was pretty good too.

Of course, there were those who felt sorry about her taking leave.

Especially Quan Jinbei’s senior sister.

She didn’t know Shi Yaoguang’s abilities too well, but after finding out that she was actually a big shot developing in multiple fields, she had been hoping to have an in-depth exchange with Shi Yaoguang.

Yet, Shi Yaoguang had taken leave right at the start.

Luckily, Shi Yaoguang had promised that enquirers could come to her with any questions.

...

Elsewhere.

After returning from the deep mountains and forests, Shi Yiqing was also busy.

After wrapping up the spokesperson shoot for Luxe Homestead, she took on a variety show.

The name of the show was...

"Adventure of Challenge".

As the name suggests, it was a challenge-based show.

The recording was set to begin in three days, and during this time, she discussed with Shi Ruhong at the Shi Family how to "make a splash".

All of Shi Yiqing’s talents were drained by Shi Ruhong, and now Shi Yiqing herself could be called a "master".

Having lost his talent, Shi Ruhong had no choice but to place Shi Yiqing on a pedestal; he had no way out.

For having lost his talent, even if he wanted to teach a disciple, he would not be able to do it.

Teaching is not just about knowledge transfer; it also requires targeted problem-solving.

If his disciple produced a painting with color flaws, and he couldn’t identify them quickly, it would become a big joke.

In such a case, he could only assist Shi Yiqing, who knew his secrets.

Having lost his way out, Shi Ruhong harbored discontent towards Shi Yiqing.

But what could be done about it?

To say he had lost his way out meant that there really was no room to retreat.

Besides assisting, there was no other choice.

But being forced and willingly are different in the end.

Shi Yiqing could feel Shi Ruhong’s dissatisfaction with her, but she had no choice.

Although besides Shi Ruhong, she could find a better painter...

But her inexperienced brushwork could let the person see through her, which would cause trouble if it happened.

So, even though they were resentful towards each other, they both had to endure it.

Shang Minghao didn’t care about the friction between the two of them; all he wanted was a result.

Before the recording of the show started, Shi Yiqing had to be able to produce a painting that would dazzle the world.

Only then would she have the opportunity to showcase it on the show.

"Adventure of Challenge" was broadcast in a live plus recorded format.

Thus, everything the guests did in front of the camera was magnified exactly as it occurred.

Live broadcast shows have an extreme dual nature.

If the entire process is flawless, or even spectacular, then becoming famous is a piece of cake.

On the contrary.

If you expose your terrible nature on a live stream, you can immediately become infamous.

Every year, quite a few stars and celebrities rise to fame through live streaming.

Similarly, even more people fade into obscurity because of live streaming.

These people might have said the wrong thing or leaked information they shouldn’t have.

Or they might have done something wrong, revealing an unlikable character.

In short, one saying sums it up: Live streaming makes or breaks you.

Now, we’re hoping that Shi Yiqing will be able to showcase her exceptional drawing skills during the live stream.

When the time comes, Shang Minghao will prepare an online army for her, promoting her as a genius and beautiful young artist.

...

Shi Yaoguang has no interest in Shang Minghao’s plans.

She and Shi Yiqing signed up for the same variety show.

The show starts live streaming when the artists arrive at the destination, and before heading to the "Adventure of Challenge" production team, Shi Yaoguang made some small preparations.

This could be considered an early surprise she prepared for Shi Yiqing.

Shi Yiqing, of course, has no idea that Shi Yaoguang has set a trap for her.

After shooting the endorsement for Luxe Homestead, her resentment towards Shi Yaoguang grew even deeper.

Was it just because she snatched an endorsement from Shi Yaoguang?

Just a single endorsement.

Why should Shi Yaoguang endorse the Protection Shield and even gain fame from it?

And it didn’t stop there; she even became the "developer" of the Protection Shield.

No matter what Shang Minghao said, she just wouldn’t believe it.

After talking to Shang Minghao that day, she went back and thought it over carefully.

And she came to a conclusion.

That is...

Behind Shi Yaoguang, there must be a leading figure in scientific research.

Every time she came into the spotlight, a scientific researcher would lose their life.

Cough cough.

Just joking, in fact, Shi Yiqing thinks that Shi Yaoguang has used unknown means to claim the fruits of the researcher’s labor as her own.

She even came up with a scenario in her head.

The process is actually quite simple.

Wasn’t Shi Yaoguang living in the countryside in her early years?

It just so happens that when she was living there, she met someone with exceptional talent in scientific research.

At that time, the scientific genius was just a poor thing, maybe so poor they couldn’t even afford drinking water.

It was because Shi Yaoguang gave them milk and bread, saving their life, that they later offered a gesture of gratitude.

And their way of repaying her was quite simple.

That is...

To unconditionally obey Shi Yaoguang’s words.

Thinking this way, her sense of justice instantly erupted.

She had to expose Shi Yaoguang’s true face, no matter what!

She didn’t believe that Shi Yaoguang could fool everyone forever!

If Shi Yaoguang showed the slightest slip, she could follow the trail to find the truth.

The live stream of "Adventure of Challenge" was the perfect opportunity to start.

Shi Yiqing had a good plan, as long as she deliberately triggered Shi Yaoguang during the live stream, making her reveal her lack of knowledge in scientific research, that would be enough.

It’s like a celebrity who is known for their educational background revealing their ignorance by asking "what is website x" during a live stream.

If Shi Yaoguang showed any abnormality, someone would surely step up to tear off her mask.

Just thinking about it, Shi Yiqing couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Seeing her expression, Shang Minghao frowned: "What are you laughing at now?"

Shi Yiqing looked at him, her eyes shining with determination: "I’ve come up with a good plan! This time, I will definitely make Shi Yaoguang pay the price!"
