Qi Yue grinned through gritted teeth. "Of course, my personal issues with Miss Li are just that, personal. They won’t spill over into our work."
"Considering how much we all adore her, I should just give her all the stickers."
She slapped the card on Li Xingwan’s spot and then stomped back, holding back her fury.
If I can’t beat her at work, I will find a way elsewhere.
"Next up is the actress Li." The voice of the show’s director.
"That should be undeniable, right?"
"The actress Li’s fondness for Xingwan is clear for all of us to see."
"Exactly! She’s definitely going to give Xingwan full stars!"
There were five stars in total. If someone really liked her, they would use all five.
If they thought she was okay or just average, they’d remove two stars.
Just when everyone thought the actress Li would go ahead and stick them all on, to everyone’s surprise, she removed one star.
"Why did the actress Li remove a star?"
"Actress Li, are you still undecided?" Bo Jinkun also chimed in.
Zheng Shaosu laughed. "She must not dare to give full stars, right?"
The guests before her either received two stars, or three, or were given just one!
To give Xingwan five straight away—she probably felt too embarrassed to do so!
"Haha! That’s possible!"
"The actress Li must have given too few to the earlier guests. So now, she doesn’t dare to give more."
"If she really gave full stars, the others before would be furious, wouldn’t they?"
At that moment, the actress Li turned her head. "The one star I withheld, I’ll give it when Miss Li agrees to take me as her teacher."
The live audience couldn’t help but laugh. "It turns out the actress Li’s affection for Xingwan has reached such a level."
"She’s resorting to threats because she’s afraid Xingwan won’t accept her as a master."
The other guests chuckled as well.
Li Xingwan stood up. "Then I’ll be leaving first."
She had an important matter to attend to next.
"Okay." The actress Li responded to her.
Bo Jinkun also stood up, presenting her with a gift. "Look at it when you get back."
Everyone was curious about the gift Bo Jinkun had for Xingwan, but they wouldn’t open it in front of the cameras.
Besides him, Zheng Shaosu also handed over his gift, even sounding a bit emotional. "I hope I can have a daughter like you one day."
As he spoke, his gaze drifted toward Wu Qianqing.
Seeing him look her way, Wu Qianqing immediately averted her eyes.
She was past the suitable age for that.
Besides, given their current relationship, it was not indicative of anything more.
"I have a gift here, too." Wu Qianqing also gave Xingwan a present. So did actress Jiang.
Out of everyone present, only Qi Yue didn’t gift anything.
"Thank you, everyone." Li Xingwan departed.
Everyone was seated at the dining table, with the previous lively atmosphere now replaced by an air of proud and noble composure.
The mood had changed completely.
Under the table, Zheng Shaosu sneaked his long leg to nudge, or rather lightly brush, against Wu Qianqing’s leg.
"What gift did you just give her?"
Wu Qianqing looked up at him. "What does it matter to you, Mr. Movie Star Zheng?"
"...I thought our relationship had changed."
"Nothing." Zheng Shaosu’s reply was meaningful.
