Chapter 6
Yu Xiang did not believe her. “If the daughter of the wealthy Gu family is poor, then poor people do not exist in this world! Cut the crap and sign this contract now. It’s just a web event. Control your temper, talk less and actually do something useful there. If you land yourself in any more scandals, I will be terminating my contract with you!”
The things that happened to land Gu Ran in her current position was rather complicated and involved her dignity. As such, she was too lazy to explain it to Yu Xiang.
She gave the contract a brief look. Most of it was just black strips on white to her which did not require much attention. What did attract her attention, however, was the attendance list at the bottom.
Feng Cheng!
Hehe!
This scumbag was actually in the show too!
“Stop dawdling! Hurry up and sign it.”
Yu Xiang could not stand Gu Ran’s hesitant look. “It’s just some tourist variety show involving a few strangers doing budget traveling. The script’s already been finalized and your only role is to be an unnoticeable side character living in their own world. Just try not to attract attention to yourself – even if the others eventually become closer, it has nothing to do with you!”
“Feng Cheng is going to be there too?”
Feng Cheng debuted in a talent show. A handsome young fellow who was good at singing and dancing, he’d previously acted as the male tritagonist in a few idol dramas. His acting skills were decent and he had chosen fairly interesting characters to play as well. He’d also garnered a little popularity, just enough to increase his net worth from that of an eighteenth tier celebrity to that of a third or fourth tier.
For such an unknown online variety show, he could be considered a heavyweight guest of honor.
“I heard that the guest to be invited was supposed to be Mo Yancheng, but they did not manage to negotiate a deal in the end, so they had to reconsider their choices and eventually settled on Mo Yancheng’s discounted version – Feng Cheng.”
Oh, Gu Ran remembered now. Feng Cheng debuted under the name of Mo Yancheng Junior back then, but as he got more popular and this fact became exposed to the public, it had become a scandal for him, and he had been constantly flamed by Mo Yancheng’s fans for this.
Mo Yancheng, owner of the Film, Television and Music Tri-segment Grand Slam Award, where the television series he’d created received insurmountable numbers of viewerships and box office numbers that remains unbeatable until this day, has been hailed by people as ‘the Legend of the Acting World’.
Moreover, he had retired from the acting industry for many years now and was currently in a hot and well-respected position within the business world. It was simply a fool’s dream for such a small variety show to successfully invite him.
It was probably just a gimmick that the production team came up with.
After signing her name, Gu Ran sneered. “I will definitely participate well during the show.”
Especially for projects related to Feng Cheng.
“Are you setting sights on Xing Fengcheng? Let me warn you…”
Before Yu Xiang could finish her sentence, Gu Ran interrupted her icily and pointed towards her eyes. “Don’t worry, any residual attraction has been completely cleaned. I won’t be blind again!”
Yu Xiang was doubtful. “Oh right, the variety show this time is in the form of a live broadcast online. There will not be a chance to record it again, so naturally, there won’t be a second editing. Do you have a problem with this?”
Gu Ran shook her head. “No problem.”
A live-stream! She was really looking forward to this variety show now!
“Right!”
Gu Ran stopped Yu Xiang. “Can you arrange a staff dormitory for me and lend me some money? I’ll deduct it from the labor fees this time.”
Yu Xiang frowned. She didn’t know what Gu Ran was up to this time, but she sounded rather sincere, so she eventually nodded her head and agreed to the requests.
“You better be good, do you hear me!”
“Loud and clear!”
Gu Ran smiled. Of course, she would be good. Not only would she be good, but she would also be making some others very miserable!
The next day, at a luxurious hotel south of the city.
Yu Xiang had sent her to the hotel bright and early in the morning. The other celebrities who were participating in the variety show were also staying on this floor, but Gu Ran didn’t manage to see them because they were all out shopping.
Gu Ran was now rather cashless and unwilling to go out, so there wasn’t anything to do besides take her room card downstairs to be registered.
