In the car.
To fend off any more advances from Lu Ningsheng, Si Fuqing decisively chose to sit in the front passenger seat.
She took out her phone and tattled to her boss, Yu Xiheng.
[Boss, wuuuuh, someone touched my face today. You better get me excellent insurance!]
This time, Yu Xihengâs reply was slightly longer.
[Boss]: Youâre allowed to take action.
Cupping her chin with one hand, Si Fuqing responded.
[That wonât do. I took a solemn oath before stepping into this world that I would never hit beautiful people, let alone pretty, adorable girls. Theyâre the worldâs treasures!]
Reading the message, Yu Xihengâs eyes narrowed slightly and his eyebrows twitched.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
It reminded him of their first encounter, where things got physical unexpectedly.
[Boss]: I find your words hard to believe.
Si Fuqing sensed a trace of oddness in his reply.
[Boss, I swear, my heart for you is as clear as day and night. How could I possibly lie to you? Iâve told you everything thatâs going on with me lately!]
[Boss]: Good performance.
Yu Xihengâs eyes narrowed a tad more.
Looks like a little raise of a fewgold bricks in her salary was warranted.
The Pixiu she carried seemed a bit too small.
âBrother Nine, do you think Iâll fall out of favor?â Beside him, Feng San cautiously asked, âI heard the Thousand Army Alliance is providing a personal guard for Miss Si.â
Yu Xihengâs expression remained unfazed. âWere you ever in favor?
Feng San: â
Pardon the intrusion,
It was he who had clung to Miss Si.
âThe Thousand Army Alliance wonât hurt her, and they canât,â Yu Xiheng rested his head on his hand. âHaving an extra person for her to boss around is fine too.â
Feng San pondered, âShouldnât we keep up? Should we call in a few people from the MO family?â Yu Xiheng calmly responded, âNo need.â
Feng San: ? âItâs useless.â Feng San:
Pardon the intrusion.
They were simply too weak.
When the time came, they might not be protecting Miss Si, but rather being protected by her.
Meanwhile, the car had reached its destination.
Everyone got out, and the crew moved to the pedestrian street.
The area was mostly cleared, but a few customers remained.
âGet the cameras ready,â the director looked at the road conditions and ordered. âKeep a few extra on Si Fuqing, make sure there are no blind spots.â
Todayâs outdoor filming was mainly to garner votes and increase popularity for the trainees.
The crew had hidden little notes with various challenges all around the pedestrian street.
Succeeding in a challenge could add more popularity votes.
If a mentor successfully completed a challenge, all trainees in their class would gain extra votes.
The live streaming room was active with long-awaiting fans.
[Sheâs here! Thank you, production crew, for letting me see my fresh wife today!]
[I wonder what kind of challenge the adorable Qingqing will get. I hope itâs singing and dancing!]
[Please make sure to let this woman fully showcase her beauty.]
Si Fuqing wasnât too concerned about the challenges.
But after gaining her first strand of luck, her fortunes had clearly improved.
The first note for the mentors was found by her.
âMiss Si found a note so quickly?â Lu Ningsheng leaned over, excited. âLetâs see what it is.â
âAlright,â Si Fuqing opened the note.
The camera zoomed in.
It was a geometry math question.
[What theâ¦theyâre including math questions now? Do they even remember this is a reality show?]
[This is analytic geometry, my high school nightmare.]
[Itâs actually very simple, analytic geometry is no big deal.]
âAh, a math question,â Lu Ning Sheng was also surprised. âLooks somewhat tough.â
Si Fuqing glanced at it, nonchalantly. âNot really.â
âReally?â Lin Qingyan lifted her head and smiled. âMiss Si never attended high school; you might not know this is a high school math question, dealing with parabolas and ellipses.â
[Emmm, almost forgot, Si Fuqing didnât even complete her nine-year compulsory education.]
[She never went to high school, so sheâs really never heard of what a hyperbola or parabola is.]
[Not having gone to high school is quite a stretch. Who among those present doesnât have a college degree? As for Lu Tianhou, letâs not even mention itâhe graduated from Hera International Music Academy. The number of people from Great Xia who can get into that academy can be counted on one hand.] Hera International Music Academy, the epitome of musical academia.
âWhat is Lin Qingyan doing?â The producer slammed the table. âCanât she keep her personal grudges out of this? Doesnât she understand the significance of this show?â
âWho wouldâve thought sheâd find that note, â he sighed, unable to comprehend the situation.
The director took a drag of his cigarette and sighed, âThereâs nothing we can do. Weâve told her outright and subtly several times, and she always answers seriously. But who would have guessed that her true colors would come out as soon as the live broadcast started?â
Lin Qingyan and Si Fuqingâs situations were entirely different.
Although Lin Qingyanâs agency wasnât as big as Tianle Media, they were nevertheless promoting her heavily. The entertainment circle was only so large; there was no way to make things too awkward.
âLet me do it instead, Teacher Si wonât be able to,â Lin Qingyan said, âMy math is pretty good.â
After she spoke, she smiled at the camera, âMath was the only subject I was good at during the college entrance exams. I scored 108 in math, but I failed physics. I really feel sorry for my physics teacher.â
[Wow, Qingyan is so amazing! I constantly fail in math.]
[Qingyan earned her spot near Great Xia Film Academy on her own merit, unlike some people who went abroad and rode on the coattails of a girl group, and have no educational qualifications at all.]
[There are barriers between idols, you know?]
Mousses immediately became inflamed.
[You dare to brag about scoring 108 in math??? Whatâs there to show off?]
[To the person earlier, 108 in math is already high for art exam candidates.
Why canât she brag?]
[Thanks, donât lump all art exam candidates together. I also entered Great Xia
Film Academy through art exams, and my college entrance score was 689.]
âDirector, should the camera focus on Lin Qingyan?â the assistant director asked, âWhat about Si Fuqingâs sideâ¦â
âWhy donât you ask if Si Fuqing can sing a song?â the director hesitated for a moment, âHer singing really lifts the atmosphere. Letâs move past this.â
The assistant director nodded and was about to speak when the producer suddenly interjected, âWait!â
The director turned his head, âWhatâs the matter?â
The producerâ brows furrowed and his expression was one of disbelief, âLook.â
Puzzled, the director turned to the backstage monitoring screen and his eyes widened involuntarily.
On the main screen, Si Fuqing hadnât passed the paper with the math problem to Lin Qingyan. Instead, she picked up a pen.
Gripping the pen, she looked at Lin Qingyan, âWho told you that I donât know what a parabola or hyperbola is?â
