Chapter 614: Chapter 618: Scandal Queen (19)

Several amateurs discreetly moved away from Su Li, while Da Pan and Wang Bai also pursed their lips, their faces losing any traces of a relaxed smile.

Su Li stood out like a deadly weapon, jarringly erect and making the air around her seem to solidify.

Only Xue Guo’s face quickly flashed a secretive, satisfied smile.

The group of observers, no, the main director and his team watched excitedly from the sidelines, rubbing their hands together.

"You see, my idea was really good, wasn’t it? This episode has lots of conflicts, definitely a lot of highlights."

"It’s just the beginning and already so much drama..."

The main director stroked his beard and asked the assistant director beside him, "Have you checked the live broadcast? Are the viewers outside looking forward to the content of the show?"

The addressed assistant director also appeared delighted, saying, "Your prediction was spot on, the viewers are about to explode."

"Though the majority are cursing us as fools..."

Instead of getting angry, the main director was overjoyed and cheerfully said, "Let them curse, all that means more popularity — the harsher the criticism, the more people are watching our show."

"When it’s time to form teams, stir up some more conflicts."

The nine guests had all arrived, and only after the conflict at Su Li’s end had subsided did the crew appear nonchalantly.

A group from the director’s team shook a cardboard box in front of the nine guests.

"Now that everyone’s here, we’ll start forming groups by drawing lots."

Everyone from the crew seemed oblivious to the awkward atmosphere, laughing merrily to themselves.

As the director spoke, everyone fell silent.

Whether it was Er Ping, Xie Susu, or the others, all listened attentively, setting aside their personal grievances.

Those willing to participate in this reality show shared a common goal.

Therefore, they couldn’t afford to offend the director due to personal reasons.

Although the director’s team couldn’t interfere with the live broadcast once the show began, they were still in charge of supplies and additional tasks, afraid that the director might just increase their difficulties without reason.

They were all there to gain fame and attract fans — it would be embarrassing to end up gaining nothing and making a fool of themselves.

The main director was very pleased with everyone’s attitude after his arrival.

He shook the cardboard box in his hand and said, "There are four sets of matching numbered balls inside. Those who draw matching balls will form a temporary duo and help each other out."

"As for the one remaining person, he or she can join any of the four teams, but only if both members of the chosen team agree."

"Let’s start now, drawing from left to right."

Based on their standing positions, from left to right were the amateurs, Xu Xiaoqing, and Zeng Yan.

Seemingly because they were both amateurs, there was a natural proximity and closeness from the beginning, and they stood relatively near each other.

Next were Wang Bai, Da Pan, and Xie Susu, with these three gravitating around Xie Susu as a group.

Then came Er Ping, Qin Qing, Xue Guo, and Su Li.

These four were quite unique, each standing relatively far from one another.

Especially Er Ping, who had no one willing to come close within a few meters around him.

Unbeknownst to the guests, every move they made was being broadcast live in real-time on the streaming platform.

The live broadcast already caused quite a stir.

Only Su Li, who glanced intentionally or unintentionally a few meters away in the air and slightly furrowed her brows.

Did she think no one could see the unmanned camera and act so brazenly?

Just film, why get so close?

Su Li forced herself to resist the urge to swat away a fly, compelling herself to look away.

Forget it, out of sight, out of mind.

Meanwhile, Wang Bai also glanced around furtively.

His actions caught the skeptical gaze of Xie Susu, who was closest to him, and Wang Bai awkwardly smiled and withdrew his wandering gaze.

"Wow, did you see that, that gaze killed me. How can she be so beautiful, I’m totally a fan now, such celestial beauty, it’s just unfair. Just now in HD close-up, I couldn’t even see her pores, not just a beautiful face, but her skin is amazing too."

"No wonder Lang Tianwang can’t keep himself in check, daydreaming that Miss is his Madam."

"You guys didn’t notice the sinister intentions of the production team? Lang Tianwang, Queen Qin, and this beautiful Miss being on the same stage..."

"What rubbish Miss, let me see, this woman named Su Li is the real schemer... Could it all be a play directed and performed by herself?"

"The guess above makes sense, but she must have some major backing to sacrifice two big stars just to support her... God, I feel like I’ve discovered a huge secret."

"Being beautiful gets you anything, just lie low, and there are plenty of big shots willing to stand up for a beauty."

The topic, initially focused on Su Li’s beauty, gradually spiraled in a bizarre direction.

What started as simple admiration for Su Li’s looks turned into various malicious speculations.

A beautiful girl always makes people suspect every situation negatively.

Shameless minds see everything in a bad light.

However, it wouldn’t be possible without someone pushing it.

The production crew couldn’t meddle directly, but inciting and fueling conflicts on the side was certainly feasible.

Besides the controversy surrounding Su Li, Lang Er Ping and Qin Qing also faced scorn from bystanders.

Even the production team was dragged out for criticism.

Why invite artists with questionable morals and tarnished reputations...

Besides that, Xue Guo, Wang Bai, Da Pan, and Xie Susu also had various discussions about them.

Wang Bai’s girlfriend fans were flooding the comment section.

"My Xiao Bai is still so straightforward."

"Heartache for Xiao Bai, spending half a month with troublesome people, my heart aches for him, hugs without reservation."

"I just love Xiao Bai’s sharp and determined demeanor, professing my admiration daily."

And Xie Susu’s fans directly targeted Su Li.

"What is this, not even debuted and already so arrogant, my Susu is so kind, asked her something nicely, yet she got scolded. Truly, flies don’t sting seamless eggs, this Su Li must be problematic."

"I empathize with Susu; she is my goddess, both beautiful and kind. Su Li is no good, neither is Xue Guo. They both have malicious faces."

"To the comment above, I accept that you call their characters bad, but if you say they have malicious faces, I’m not pleased... If malice looked like that, I’d also want a malicious face. Don’t ignore the feelings of us who value beauty in the pouring rain."
