Chapter 22

It was so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard.

Director Chen took several deep breaths to calm himself down. Pretending to be calm, he said, "Since they've started the broadcast, let's see what they can do."

Someone immediately went to work, connecting the equipment to the LCD screen that occupied most of the wall.

Director Chen picked a swivel chair and sat down, his face as calm as water.

Wasn't it just an early broadcast? Without a good venue and lineup, what could they use to compete?

This time, Muyao TV had invested a lot. They had found a small mountain village near South City that had a sea of bamboo. The scenery and privacy were top-notch.

In terms of lineup, Jiang Chen was the top celebrity in the entertainment industry in the past two years, a hot little fresh meat. Qin Wanyan was the lead singer of the girl group Shiny. Since the group's establishment, the members had been constantly fighting with each other and were extremely popular.

As for the other pair, Fu Jiayan and Yu Miaomiao, the two had their own topics of discussion. Some time ago, the two had been photographed by paparazzi wearing matching watches. Now, netizens were looking forward to them announcing their relationship on Heartbeat.

Any one of these four people couldn't compare to Shi Sui, but four against two, it was a different story.

Not only did Xiangyi have a bad reputation online, but she also had a bad reputation in real life. When she debuted, she was quite popular, but she was late, arrogant, worrisome, and didn't know how to respect others.

In Director Chen's opinion, Xiangyi was Shi Sui's burden. With her character, it was possible that she would drag down the entire variety show.

So … he just had to wait and see her make a fool of herself.

Director Chen comforted himself in his heart.

The hour hand turned to half past nine.

In the live broadcast room, the screen turned from black to light.

The first thing that caught everyone's eyes was the spacious and empty living room.

It was decorated in cool colors, with only a few decorations highlighting the owner's taste. Other than that, there was no extra debris, like an exquisite model room.

It was beautiful, but it lacked a sense of life.

The lights in the room were on, but it was a little dim. A few staff members could be vaguely heard, followed by a deep magnetic voice that reached everyone's ears through the sound recording equipment.

"It's starting?"

Because the staff didn't turn off the bullet screen, the big screen was completely blocked by netizens' comments in the blink of an eye.

— [So good, so good! Mom, my ears are pregnant!]

— — [Cameraman, take a picture of him! I'll give you an extra drumstick for dinner!]

[Shi Sui! My sisters are Shi Sui! I let out a super loud groundhog scream!]

…

Director Chen's heart skipped a beat. He seemed to have underestimated Shi Sui's popularity.

The staff hurriedly turned off the bullet screen, but Director Chen said, "Leave it on. We can see the real-time feedback from the netizens."

"Okay, okay."

The bullet screen was adjusted to not affect the viewing experience.

Meanwhile.

The camera panned to a tall and slender figure.

"Shua —" The curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows were pulled open, and light spilled in. The camera was exposed for a moment, and then focused clearly on Shi Sui's hand.

His well-defined fingers glowed with a cold white luster under the sunlight, faintly revealing light green blood vessels. The lines and contours were impeccable.

He turned around. He was wearing a simple white shirt that was buttoned to the top. A pair of gold-rimmed glasses rested on his straight nose, and he smiled at the camera.

"Good morning."

It was just a smile, but it was a vivid interpretation of what a refined scum was.
