Chapter 536: Chapter 527 Close Call

A live variety show, called "Exposing a Day in the Life of Celebrities," which barely made any waves, had an unremarkable name, and invited guests that were either newcomers to the entertainment industry or ranked beyond third-tier, surprisingly jumped onto the trending topics list, shocking a slew of artists who were planning to spend money to buy themselves a spot on the list.

"In one minute, I want to know what kind of trick this small, crappy show is pulling."

It’s well-known that the trending list has a limit: if you squeeze onto it, someone else has to be pushed off.

Everything was already set, and suddenly this show leapfrogged up there, catching everyone completely off guard.

In no time, countless curious hands clicked in.

And they were immediately bombarded with a slew of topics, leaving them in a daze.

#Hurry and witness today’s celebrity being slapped in the face live#

#"Exposing a Day in the Life of Celebrities" filming and broadcasting live at the Calligraphy and Painting Association#

#Jiang Lingxi appears at the Calligraphy and Painting Association#

#Didn’t run into Mr. Shen from "Inheritance" at Yinhe Palace but saw him in person on a small, crappy show’s live broadcast#

#Jiang Lingxi and Mr. Shen’s relationship appears to be not simple#

The scene of celebrities being slapped in the face, the mysterious and prestigious internal environment of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, coupled with Jiang Lingxi, who just trended due to love rumors, and the enigmatic Mr. Shen—any one of these topics drew a lot of people uncontrollably to click in.

As a result, some could only watch helplessly as the trending phrase related to the small, crappy show surged ahead with unstoppable momentum!

Numb, simply numb!

"It seems today isn’t the day to buy trending spots, maybe some other day."

Even after the broadcast was interrupted, many viewers patiently waited, but after waiting and waiting without the broadcast resuming, they simply turned to the internet to compete in voicing their comments.

The awkwardness in reality continued.

Fortunately, without the cameras, Cao Xinyan felt less embarrassed, and cast a gaze filled with undisguised spite towards Qian Yiheng.

But how could Qian Yiheng be afraid of this little girl who only relied on her family background and assumed herself to be so great.

The status and career she has now were earned on her own; what does Cao Xinyan have, aside from having a grandfather who is the president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association?

The people in this association are polite to Cao Xinyan out of respect for her grandfather.

Moreover, President Cao can’t possibly have absolute control within the association, otherwise, Cao Xinyan’s name would already be on the member list of the Calligraphy and Painting Association.

The reason it’s not there is naturally because Cao Xinyan’s skill in calligraphy and painting isn’t even up to the association’s standards, as membership assessment requires cross-examination and voting by several seniors in the association, and even the president can’t intervene.

Being glared at by someone who isn’t even qualified to be a member of the calligraphy and painting association—even if the other party glares until their eyes go blind, she’s not the least bit afraid.

"How dare you glare at me, when previously at the restaurant, Miss Jiang refused your challenge? I see it as her being kind-hearted, otherwise, with your level of skills in calligraphy and painting, putting your works next to Miss Jiang’s would be a dimensional reduction strike. And what about you? Even though I clearly hung a ’Do Not Disturb’ sign at the door of this activity room, you still brought the show crew in, and spouted nonsense while holding Miss Jiang’s work. If I hadn’t just interrupted you, you’d probably have tarnished the names of several seniors. You only dare to say such things because those seniors don’t bother watching such a silly variety show, am I right?"

Qian Yiheng’s words were rapid, crisp, and loud—don’t forget, after all, her main job is teaching, and you can’t be a teacher without some eloquence.

After these words, Cao Xinyan’s face turned from red to purple to blue to black in rapid succession, finally settling on a black so deep it was unsightly.

The other guests, still holding their works, momentarily forgot to put them down, and quickly placed the items back on the table, exchanging a glance before silently exiting the activity room.

Then the show’s crew followed suit and left.

Qian Yiheng glanced at them but said nothing.

She didn’t believe these people hadn’t seen the ’Do Not Disturb’ sign; they dared to come in because they felt backed by Cao Xinyan.

She looked at Cao Xinyan, who was standing there like a wooden stake glaring at her, "Aren’t you leaving? Do you want me to show you out?"

As soon as everyone was almost out the door, Qian Yiheng ’bam’, shut the activity room door firmly.

Listening to the sound of the door locking behind her, Cao Xinyan gritted her teeth harder.

Raising her eyes again, she met the gaze of the four guests who had been flattering her, along with the program crew... She didn’t hesitate and took an action that surprised everyone.
