Mu Wan’s career was facing setbacks, and she was feeling down. During the preparations, she had been full of confidence, but now she was thoroughly dejected.

Kuang Ye comforted her, “These things can’t be rushed. There has to be a gradual process.”

Mu Wan sighed, “I know, it’s just that seeing such a big company sitting empty like this makes me unhappy!”

Just when she thought this feeling would last for a long time, she received an unexpected phone call one day.

“You said—”

“You’re inviting me to participate in a travel reality show?”

“Yes, Miss Mu. We’ve heard that you’ve opened a classical music agency, and this would be a great publicity opportunity. Please consider it.”

“Why did you choose me?”

“Our casting director happened to see one of your Douyin videos.”
“Then we found out you studied abroad in New York.”
“Coincidentally, our travel destination this time is New York.”

“This reason isn’t enough to convince me.” Mu Wan thought, many people who studied abroad were on Douyin—casting for reality shows wasn’t that arbitrary, was it?

“…Well, also because you’re the Stern Violin Competition champion, we’re planning to create a persona for you as an elegant violin genius beauty.”

“…”

Mu Wan thought for a moment, then asked, “How many days is the show?”

“One week.”

“When does it start?”

“The day after tomorrow.”

“…”

“Did you guys get scammed?”
“…It’s complicated.”
“Send me the company address to this number, I’ll bring a lawyer to sign the contract tomorrow.”
“You agreed??”
“Are you backing out?”
“No, no, we’re looking forward to your visit tomorrow.”

Mu Wan hung up the phone, feeling pleased. The travel show was only for a week, and she’d be back just in time for Ah Ye’s birthday. Going on the trip would not only be fun but also a chance to promote the company. Why not?

Back at the apartment, Mu Wan immediately told Kuang Ye about the news.

Kuang Ye looked a little concerned. “Is it safe to go abroad?” What if it was a scam?

Mu Wan reassured him, “It’s a relatively large entertainment company. I’ll bring Zhou Lu with me tomorrow. If there’s a problem, I won’t go.”

Kuang Ye nodded, then hugged her, acting a little spoiled. “Even if there’s no problem, I don’t want you to go. I don’t want such a beautiful sister being seen by others.”

Mu Wan ruffled his hair. “The audience of TV shows is definitely better than on Douyin.”

“That way, you won’t have to sit at the Jian Jia company’s account, reporting those comments every day.”

Kuang Ye froze. He’d been found out. But clearly, it was those perverts who were too lewd.

“Jie, give me the phone, I’ll block those disgusting people for you.” Since Mu Wan had already found out, he didn’t pretend anymore. A few accounts had already been reported and banned by him.

Mu Wan knew that multimedia platforms attracted a wide range of audiences, and she had prepared herself for that when she decided to appear on screen. That’s why she never looked at the comments section. It was actually Lei Yue who told her about Kuang Ye’s habit of attacking people. Mu Wan knew immediately it was him. His hands were quick, he cursed a lot, but never used vulgar language. It was all just his own style from years of experience in the esports world.

The next day, Mu Wan brought Zhou Lu to the entertainment company’s building.

Zhou Lu: Going out for work, and still so happy.

Soon, Mu Wan met with the person she had spoken to on the phone the day before. The other party was visibly stunned when he saw Mu Wan. He didn’t expect her to be even more beautiful in person than in the video.

“Miss Mu, hello, my name is Zhuang Xian, and I am the producer of the show Travel the World.”

“This show has already aired several seasons. It’s essentially a program where people from different fields go on a trip to a destination, with live streaming for the entire week. You can’t quit midway. Here’s the contract.” He handed over the contract, and Zhou Lu took it. After flipping through it briefly, he began his professional questioning.

“The terms on the contract are not clear. Will there be live streaming in the bathroom or during private moments?”
“If we violate the image rights of foreign nationals and they want to sue Miss Mu, will the production team be responsible or Miss Mu?”
“If you can’t quit midway, and if Miss Mu falls ill or there’s an earthquake abroad, is that still considered a breach of contract?”
“And since the filming will be abroad, is there a medical team on standby in case of an emergency during filming?”

A series of questions came quickly, as if Zhou Lu had rehearsed them beforehand.

Zhuang Xian: “Uh…” Did he invite a celebrity guest??
