Chapter 764: Chapter 764: Official Business Handled Officially

To ensure that the show would be a hit and draw sufficient attention and discussion upon its debut,

the production team invited guests from various age groups, all of whom already enjoyed a certain level of fame.

There were both older and younger celebrities to ensure all age groups in the audience were covered.

The fees offered were also very significant.

However—

Qiao Jing firmly believed that the invitation received by Gong Qiming was definitely a plot by a rival.

No other explanation fit, as normal celebrities, although different in reality from their screen personas, usually fall within a manageable range and are not outrageously different.

Even on shows, they could control themselves.

But Gong Qiming was a textbook example of a complete collapse of public persona.

In dramas and movies, he was dashing and charismatic, a heartthrob with bewitching "Taohua" eyes.

Off-screen, however, he was a talkative nightmare, a super chatterbox whom everyone dreaded meeting.

With such a person on a reality show, Qiao Jing felt that his future was pretty much doomed.

She had already started planning what to do after resigning.

A bookstore would be ideal.

It didn’t matter if it made money or not; the most important thing was to ensure quietness when people came in to read!

Qiao Jing had advised Gong Qiming for a long time, trying to make him see reason and refuse the show.

Yet Gong Qiming, utterly unabashed, believed the show would help audiences understand him better.

In the future, their affection for him was bound to increase.

Qiao Jing responded with a sarcastic remark and reminded Gong Qiming that the show required four pairs of guests.

This meant Gong Qiming could not travel alone.

He needed to bring another victim along.

Gong Qiming had been in the entertainment industry for many years.

He was not one to compromise, especially not in a bustling environment filled with beautiful women; he had never been short of ex-girlfriends.

His family usually avoided him and did not interfere much.

But Gong Qiming had a curse.

Before working with him or dating him, female stars were drawn to him like moths to a flame.

However, once they really got involved with Gong Qiming, none could last a week.

They would quickly find various reasons to break up.

Hence, there was a bizarre situation where Gong Qiming, notwithstanding his non-chaste reputation, had actually managed to remain untouched amidst numerous temptations —

extremely pure—

This time on the show, the production team required each pair of guests to be of opposite genders for a more visually appealing interaction between men and women, making the work less tiring.

They were not limited to couples but could also be siblings or friends, showcasing family and friendship.

But Gong Qiming had looked around and couldn’t find anyone.

His ex-girlfriends had hurriedly hung up as soon as he explained his request, forsaking a great opportunity for exposure because they didn’t want to appear with him.

Frustrated, Gong Qiming thought of his "little junior sister," Yue Qingqing, who might not despise him.

Unknowingly, Yue Qingqing was booked by Gong Qiming to join this doomed venture.

But as they drew closer to the destination, Qiao Jing couldn’t help but remind Gong Qiming.

"We agreed that you can’t be willful this time. Whether your little junior sister can join the show or not is up to me to decide," she said.

Gong Qiming replied nonchalantly, "I know, but you’ll definitely agree."

Qiao Jing responded coldly, "We must be professional. You know my personality—appearing on camera requires a good image and the ability to adapt quickly. Although I feel this show will be the downfall of your career, I can’t let you mess it up."

Gong Qiming retorted indignantly, "What do you mean by downfall of my career? Surely many more people will come to like me for learning the real me."

Qiao Jing laughed dismissively and said nothing further.

She didn’t want to waste words on this narcissist.

In fact, there were plenty of female stars who wanted to take advantage of Gong Qiming’s popularity to join the show, but Qiao Jing rejected each one of them.

Gong Qiming, being extremely attractive, made anyone of plain appearance standing next to him look like mere background decoration,

and with Gong Qiming in a transition phase in his career, the company had more roles focusing on his acting skills rather than brainless dramas that only showcased his looks.

Thus, Qiao Jing had to find someone whose looks could match his without drawing undue attention to Gong Qiming’s handsomeness.

Unfortunately, searching the entire entertainment industry, such people were not many; most turned out to be Gong Qiming’s ex-girlfriends, who would rather hang up the phone at the sound of his voice than face him again.

That was why Qiao Jing reluctantly followed Gong Qiming to take a look.

But she didn’t think an amateur could meet her standards.

It was probably a wasted trip.
