“Of course.” Cui Hao smiled.

“Why?” Shen Qingshu asked him, didn’t he let the gold owner behind him invest in this variety show? Why give up the champion to him now?

Does the gold master behind him agree?

“Because now the audience is very smart. If you and I are equal in strength and popularity, there is no problem for me to win the crown. But now, you are stronger and more popular than me. At this time, if I win it will be seen as inconsistent by the audience. They will inevitably feel that there is something fishy and the program group is unfair. In the end, what I attract won’t be fans, but black fans.”

Shen Qingshu didn’t expect that he understood it so thoroughly. He was surprised and said, “have you figured it out?”

“Well, I’ve watched three of your debates in a row. Unless you have a problem with your vocal cords and can’t speak, I can’t beat you. Therefore, this is my best choice.”

“Well, thank you.” Shen Qingshu said, after all Cui Hao cancelled his agreement with the program group, so the biggest beneficiary is definitely him.

Although it’s good to be an uncrowned king without a crown, who doesn’t want the title?

Even if it’s not for himself or for his fans, he should thank Cui Hao.

——He knew the inside story from the beginning. He won’t be sad that he didn’t win the championship, but the fans don’t know anything. They will only feel that he has been wronged, angry and sad that he didn’t get his due honour.

Cui Hao listened to him thanking him and thought he had a good temper.

He was the unreasonable party by buying the champion spot in the competition, but Shen Qingshu was not angry and even said thank you to him.

“If you really want to thank me, discuss something with me.” Cui Hao said.

“What?” Shen Qingshu is curious.

“In the next few games, let me join you to rub your heat.”

Cui Hao picked up the kettle and poured some water on his potted plants. “I’ve observed the data of these games. Indeed, there will be more live audience, more discussion and higher popularity. So instead of me continuing to interfere with you, I’d better go to your team and bask under your light, okay?”

No, are you already thinking about this now?

Shen Qingshu thinks he has a good attitude. The ready made champion was gone. He is not wallowing in sadness, but wants to form a team with him.

If it were him, it’s likely he wouldn’t want to see him at this time – why be so cruel and remind myself all the time that I lost both the chicken and the rice and spent the sponsorship money to make wedding clothes for others.

Shen Qingshu thought he was really magical. “Of course I can if you want.”

After all, it’s not him who’s sad.

“Then thank you.” Cui Hao said.

“You’re welcome.” Shen Qingshu hurriedly replied.

He hung up the phone and thought it was very mysterious. When Han Cheng came back from work, Shen Qingshu told Hancheng about it and couldn’t help sighing, “You say, will he really look at me and not be upset?”

“That’s probably true. Otherwise, he wouldn’t want to team up with you.”

“That’s awesome.”

“When it comes to being awesome, you can’t be forgotten.” Han Cheng pressed down on his shoulder. “This program has already determined the champion. And you still participate? What are you trying to do? Good guy, you can hide well. You’ve been hiding such a serious matter without telling me.”

“I’m used to solving things at work by myself.” Shen Qingshu explained to him, “You wouldn’t tell me about your work problems at ordinary times. Besides, my main goal at that time was becoming popular. I didn’t care whether I would become the champion or not. I just wanted to attract fans. So whether he was internally set or not, I will do my own thing and we don’t need to interfere with each other.”

Han Cheng was helpless, “Okay, anyway, you’re good at reasoning.”

Shen Qingshu smiled and grabbed his arm, “so you don’t have to worry about me.”

“That’s right. Since you’re so powerful.”

Shen Qingshu smiled and hugged his arm. Han Cheng hugged him back and pinched his face.

Cui Hao obtained Shen Qingshu’s consent and soon told director Wang his intention to join the same team as Shen Qingshu. At the same time, he also explained that the previous agreement was invalid. The champion of this season should be judged freely by the judges according to the performance of the guests.

Director Wang was still having a headache before. Shen Qingshu was so popular and powerful, but he couldn’t win the championship. It would certainly ruin the reputation of the program. At this time, when he heard this, it was like he was sleepy and someone handed a pillow and, so he immediately agreed.

Therefore, when Shen Qingshu went to record the seventh issue, he saw Cui Hao who was making up backstage.

He had only seen him on the screen in the live broadcast before. This was the first time he had seen the real person. He couldn’t help looking at him more and found that he was better looking than on camera.

Cui Hao’s appearance is sunny and healthy, like a football playing teenager on the green field. While waving, he looks young and energetic.

This kind of handsome boy in the sports department was actually very popular when he was a student, but it’s a pity that he won’t be so eye-catching in the place where beautiful and handsome boys get together in the entertainment industry.

This is also why he entered the entertainment industry earlier than Shen Qingshu and had more fans than Shen Qingshu before participating in the program, but he was overtaken by Shen Qingshu in half a month.

Cui Hao noticed his gaze and looked back at him. Shen Qingshu smiled at him, gentle and polite.

Cui Hao looked at the smile on his face. For a moment, sadness and envy poured into his heart.

He is so good-looking, Cui Hao thought. If he were a fan, he would admire such a good-looking person.

His only impression of Shen Qingshu stemmed from several games this season. He watched Shen Qingshu’s face cause screams in the barrage every time he appeared. He watched him turn the debate program into a dressing up program, but no one accused him. Instead, he was praised for his changeable style and for being too handsome.

He is not without depression and envy, but against innate conditions envy is useless.

He knew that he suffered some losses when he was on camera, so he imagined that maybe Shen Qingshu was the kind of person who was especially photogenic. Until today, when he saw Shen Qingshu standing calmly in front of him and saw his gentle smile, his fantasy was thoroughly pierced- many times he realised, the other party is really better than you. He is more popular because he has the capital to be more popular.

He looked at Shen Qingshu, blinked quietly, and then slowly showed a smile.

Shen Qingshu said hello to him and asked the makeup artist to make up for him.

Cui Hao came earlier than him and finished his makeup earlier, but he didn’t hurry away. Instead he waited for Shen Qingshu a while more.

Shen Qingshu wore very simple clothes today. With a sweater, jeans and sneakers he looked like the fresh boy next door.

“Walking the fresh boy next door look this time?” Cui Hao asked him.

Shen Qingshu nodded, “En.”

“You really take great pains. One episode, one style.”

“In this way, the audience will look forward to your next appearance and guess what you will look like?”

Cui Hao glanced at him and thought that he deserved to be popular. With his clever mind, even if he is not popular this time, he will be next time.

“Do you mind if we take a picture together?” Cui Hao asked him.

“Of course not.” Shen Qingshu said.

Cui Hao picked up his mobile phone and took a picture of them, then edited the text and sent it out.

Shen Qingshu cooperatively forwarded it with his weibo.

“Thank you.” Cui Hao said.

“You’re welcome.” Shen Qingshu smiled and entered the conference room with him.

On Weibo, fans of Shen Qingshu and Cui Hao were shocked.

[I thought they had a bad relationship. Since they haven’t met in so many games. Unexpectedly, it seems to be alright.] Shen Qingshu’s fans said in the official programs comment section.

[Qing Wing is so gentle that he must have a good relationship with everyone.]

[I also think so, who doesn’t like our Qing Qing?]

[So I’m the only one who noticed Qing Qing looks like a refreshing boy next door?]

[So handsome, like a little didi!]

[Our gege can be cool and cute, can be ge or di.]

[Whining, why don’t you start yet? I want to watch the live broadcast!]

At 9:30, Shen Qingshu and Cui Hao walked into the recording place together.

This is their first time on the same stage. The audience in the live studio were surprised. After all, there were only three stars this season.

[Wow, we’re just short of Su Liuliu. If she also comes, this side will be an all star team against the old guest team. ]

[I have to say that stars still have the advantage of appearance. Not to mention Shen Qingshu, Cui Hao is also better looking than other guests.]

[Isn’t that nonsense? There are few celebrities who don’t look good and there is a wall between celebrities and amateurs.]

[Today’s Qing Qing is so cute and looks so young!]

[Yes, the sun is shining when he comes, my eyes are dazzled.]

[Every time I look forward to seeing Shen Qingshu’s debate. Besides watching him debate, I want to see his face. Hahaha, it’s so pleasing to the eyes.]

Han Cheng watched the barrage blowing Shen Qingshu’s rainbow fart and nodded in front of the computer. Well, his little sports car is so excellent that he is the focus everywhere!

That night, Cui Hao still spoke meticulously in the first round, while Shen Qingshu mainly spoke in the subsequent free debate. The two people had joined their attack power.

Everyone is probably used to Shen Qingshu’s way of speaking after two sessions, so they didn’t notice Cui Hao’s silence in the free debate. For him, it was a good thing.

At the end, Shen Qingshu went to have a snack with everyone as usual.

After supper, he and his teammates went back together. When the other two went back, Shen Qingshu said to Cui Hao, “Although this is me being a bit nosy, since you have given up the predetermined champion, you might as well write your own debate.”

He looked at Cui Hao. “Anyway, you won’t be the champion anymore. You don’t need to speak much in the free debate and second round of debate. You can write what you want in the first round. There’s no need to continue cheating for a lost crown. If you’re found out in the future, it will all become black history.”

“I know.” Cui Hao whispered, “I’ve started writing by myself. Today is what I wrote by myself. I didn’t get the debate topic in advance.”

Shen Qingshu was surprised, “then you’re good at writing.”

“Really?” Cui Hao was surprised and said, “Do you think what I wrote was okay?”

“Of course, I didn’t realise it wasn’t professional, otherwise I wouldn’t have said that to you.”

Cui Hao smiled when he heard his words. “Really? Thank you.”

He was a little happy. “I revised it several times after I wrote it. I was afraid I didn’t write well.”

“It’s all right. There’s no real right or wrong in debate. It just depends on who sounds more reasonable.”

“Yes.” Cui Hao nodded.

He looked at Shen Qingshu. The wind blew. The wine he had just drunk fermented in his heart and felt steaming. He said unconsciously, “Qingshu, I actually envy you?”

“Ah?” Shen Qingshu was surprised.

“You are confident.” Cui Hao said, “You are also very good-looking and your attitude is infectious. So everyone likes you very much, the audience likes you, Ran Xing and the others also like you.”

Shen Qingshu was a little embarrassed. “Thank you. You’re charming, too.”

He looked at Cui Hao. “You will also be popular. Don’t worry, even if it’s not now, definitely in the future.”

Cui Hao smiled and didn’t speak. In fact, he didn’t know whether he would be popular or not. He worked hard, but it always seemed to be a little close yet not enough. But it didn’t matter, he’s used to it.

The two people said goodbye at the entrance of the hotel room. Shen Qingshu slipped into his room and thought about what Cui Hao had just said and slowly laughed.

“Am I so good?” He whispered to himself.

Then, he nodded shamelessly, “Maybe I am, ha ha.”

Shen Qingshu happily took a bath and showed off to Han Cheng before going to bed.

“He said he admired me!”

“He said I was excellent!”

Shen Qingshu looked at Han Cheng at the other end of the video, “Am I very attractive? The kind that is particularly likeable?”

Han Cheng was amused by him. “You are narcissistic, particularly narcissistic.”

Shen Qingshu snorted, “you’re jealous. You’re jealous that others say I’m excellent.”

“Like I’ve never heard it myself.”

“That’s different,” Shen Qing saidshu. “You see, I often praise that you’re the best, but what about you? You never praise me for being the best and you don’t give me confidence.”

“If I don’t give you confidence, would you be like a monkey ascending to the heavens? If I give you more confidence, you will start travelling around the universe in outer space.”

Shen Qingshu chuckled, “then you praise me now. I promise I won’t go to heaven.”

“Is your assurance credible?”

“Of course.” Shen Qingshu ensured.

Han Cheng looked at him with a happy face and didn’t want to destroy his mood. So he said, “well, I’ll praise you. You’re really excellent.”

“For example?”

“Good looking.”

“And?”

“Good temper, too.”

“And?”

“Very hard working and enterprising.”

“And?”

“Independent. If you don’t need to bother others, you won’t bother others, including me who is not others.”

“And?”

“Most of the time, you’re good at acting.”

“And?”

“And!” Han Cheng was shocked. “Isn’t that enough?”

“How can I have only these advantages? There must be more.”

“You are so confident.”

“This is also one of my strengths. What else?”

Han Cheng: …

“Say it.”

Han Cheng held his forehead, “Indomitable and unremitting.”

“And?”

“Persistent, you never give up until you reach your goal.”

“And?”

“Baby, give others a way to live. If you have all the things in the world, then others can’t live.”

After Shen Qingshu heard, he tilted his head to think about it. Then he encouraged him, “well, let’s talk about the rest next time.”

Han Cheng: …

There’s a next time?!

Cui Hao, right? He will remember, the next time he sees this dog thing he has to beat him. Who let him praise people face to face. Can’t he praise people behind their back?

Look at Shen Qingshu. He can fly directly in the sky without blowing rainbow farts.

It’s not Qingshu(bamboo), he’s more like a hydrogen balloon!

“Go to sleep, good night.” He whispered.

“Good night.” Shen Qingshu smiled and hung up the phone.

Zhou Jianming is a little worried these days. What he worries about is not others, but Shen Qingshu’s next work.

With his sudden popularity, all kinds of advertising endorsements poured in, with no few producers and directors in the mix.

However, all these scripts are not good.

In fact, this is normal. He has just become popular. Many people currently have a wait and see attitude. One is to see his qualifications and the other aspect is to see the purchasing power of his fans.

Zhou Jianming knew in his heart that it was really difficult to hope for a good script at this time. Although he knew in his heart, he couldn’t help worrying.

“Southern Rose” is about to be released. When it is finished broadcasting, Shen Qingshu will have no stock in his hand.

Being without work is a very dangerous thing for an actor.

One project has to be shot for three or four months, along with about half a year of post production. Which means that if he doesn’t enter the group again now, the next time someone sees his film and television works on the screen, won’t be until this time next year.

What to do ah?!

Zhou Jianming worriedly reread the scripts that others had sent him before, for fear that he would miss a good script.

He was shuffling around when he heard the phone ring.

Zhou Jianming picked it up. When he heard the other party’s words, his eyes lit up, “Okay, okay, I know. The day after tomorrow, right? I will be there. En, okay, thank you.”

He hung up the phone and only felt that the world was not against him. Shen Qingshu is really destined to be popular in this life.

“Good news, Qingshu,” he hurriedly called Shen Qingshu. “Director Zheng’s film is looking for a second male lead, they invited you to audition the day after tomorrow. Get ready.”

“Director Zheng?” Shen Qingshu was stunned. “What movie?”

“Plundering time.”

“Who’s the male lead? Has it been decided?”

“It’s decided. Meng Zhi, who worked with Director Zheng before.”

“Meng Zhi!”

Shen Qingshu remembers the name. Although he didn’t make many appearances in the original book, he remembers that Meng Zhi was already a movie emperor when he appeared.

Although he doesn’t know which movie he won best actor with, it’s not a bad thing to cooperate with the future movie emperor.

“Okay, I know.” He said, “I’ll go to the audition.”

On the other hand, director Zheng hung up on Zhou Jianming and called Meng Zhi, “I contacted his agent, telling him to come for an audition the day after tomorrow. Do you want to have a look?”

“Of course.” Meng Zhi said calmly.

“Is he really appropriate?” Director Zheng doubted very much, “I can say ugly things head on. If he doesn’t pass the audition, I won’t use him.”

“Don’t worry. When you see him, you will know how suitable he is.”

Meng Zhi looked at Shen Qingshu wearing a sweater on the computer and smiled. This was the Luo Yi in his heart. He was simple, clean and full of vitality, symbolizing everything good, but he was maliciously murdered.

He helped director Zheng find Luo Yi, the second man, for a long time. However, there was never a suitable candidate. Until that day when he inadvertently saw Shen Qingshu.

Isn’t this what he has been looking for, for a long time?
