Chapter 125: Did You Two Kiss?
Shen Mingxuan looked down at his collar and saw the receiver’s faint red light glowing, indicating that it was still on.
This meant that everything he had just said had been broadcasted live.
Not only were the details about the Shen family’s impending bankruptcy and the buying of the Best Actor award revealed, but also his insults directed at Shen Hui.
Everything was out in the open.
Immediately, cold sweat started pouring down his back, as if he had been plunged into an ice-cold abyss.
His energy drained away, and with a thud, he collapsed to his knees, his face ashen.
At the scene, Jiang Mi clicked her tongue twice and commented with relish.
“Father and son turning on each other—what a show! By the way, the Shen family head is getting old and probably isn’t watching the live broadcast. I’d better send this directly to him to make sure he doesn’t miss it.”
Although Gu Chuan wasn’t interested in the Shen family’s mess, he always responded to Jiang Mi’s words.
Jiang Mi acted immediately, forwarding the video. She had expected to see a follow-up of father and son drama, but Shen Mingxuan chickened out, turned off his phone, and didn’t dare appear on camera again.
Tsk, coward.
Though the family drama was over, online discussions about Shen Mingxuan’s jealousy of Gu Chuan, the rigged award, assaulting his assistant, and insulting his father spread like wildfire.
Trending hashtags included:
People were furious, and the hashtags remained trending as netizens continued to vent their anger.
Jiang Mi thought it over and figured that Shen Mingxuan’s luck had pretty much run out, so it was time for him to be completely dealt with.
An hour of voting flew by amid the online uproar, and the director announced the rankings through a loudspeaker.
In 5th place was Shen Mingxuan and Bai Ruoruo, with 12,864 votes.
Only Bai Ruoruo was present at the scene; Shen Mingxuan didn’t have the face to show up. Hearing their ranking, she was in disbelief, “How could my vote count be so low?”
Lacking self-awareness, the director didn’t want to engage, but since it was a live broadcast, he gave a high EQ response, “If Miss Bai has any objections, feel free to contact the Weibo audit team for verification.”
The voting process was hosted on Weibo, so the show’s team had no control over the numbers.
Bai Ruoruo still didn’t believe it. She thought her and Shen Mingxuan’s video was exactly the type of content viewers loved to watch!
It must be Jiang Mi using Gu Chuan’s influence to threaten the program team and manipulate the vote!
Her eyes reddened, and she looked pitifully at Gu Chuan, hoping he would stand up for her.
Gu Chuan didn’t even glance her way, focusing instead on peeling grapes for Jiang Mi.
In 4th place were Qin Ling and Yang Yang, with 256,764 votes.
Both were pleased with their rank and vote count. Qin Ling was just happy not to be in last place, and Yang Yang was delighted that her votes alone surpassed the combined total of Bai Ruoruo and Shen Mingxuan!
In 3rd place were Fu Li and Lu Yu, with 4,837,992 votes.
Lu Yu was thrilled, even giving a little cheer—they were third!
Fu Li’s eyes darkened for a moment, regretting that they wouldn’t be able to share the big villa today.
In 2nd place were Cheng Lin and Chen Wanruo, with 11,432,684 votes.
At first, they couldn’t believe it, then they almost went crazy with joy.
Cheng Lin extended both hands to Chen Wanruo, “Congratulations to us, Secretary Chen!”
Chen Wanruo smiled with slightly teary eyes.
In today’s increasingly youth-oriented entertainment industry, thirty-year-old Chen Wanruo was considered old. The roles the company found for her were mostly in teen dramas, which felt awkward and received a lot of criticism. But today, she didn’t try to act young, dressing professionally with a hint of mature charm, and she won over a lot of people, receiving tons of praise.
The first place was no surprise—Gu Chuan and Jiang Mi, with 45,555,067 votes.
Jiang Mi wasn’t surprised by the result, but her eyes shone brightly with joy, “We’re number one.”
Gu Chuan also looked at Jiang Mi, his dark eyes reflecting only her face, “Yes, we won.”
“Congratulations to Gu Chuan and Jiang Mi, and Cheng Lin and Chen Wanruo for winning the qualification to stay in the villa tonight! Additionally, by popular demand, the first-place winners will receive an extra reward!” announced the director with his loudspeaker.
“That’s great, there’s an extra reward for first place! What could it be?”
“But seriously, the whole island belongs to Gu Chuan. What extra reward could the show possibly give him?”
This comment made everyone realize the situation—indeed, what could they offer?
Jiang Mi narrowed her eyes slightly, suspecting that the extra reward wouldn’t be something simple.
Sure enough, the next second, the director’s mischievous voice rang out.
“The reward is to answer the most frequently asked fan question: Did you two kiss at the end of the video?”
