Chapter 782: Chapter 782: Forced to be a Prostitute?

If Zhang Caidie had encountered an ordinary person, it would have been very difficult to refuse her, whether out of sympathy for her appearance or in front of the camera.

Unfortunately for Zhang Caidie, she met Gong Qiming, who was anything but ordinary.

"Do you know how to calculate?"

Zhang Caidie: "Huh?"

"What’s the use of strength in numbers? Each person’s ticket costs the same, and putting your money together won’t get you a discount. What’s the point of banding together?"

Zhang Caidie didn’t expect Gong Qiming to be so blunt and argued forcefully, "But there’s a saying that three cobblers together make a Zhuge Liang, and with everyone together, we can come up with more ideas."

Gong Qiming politely declined, "Even when people pick up bottles, they have their own territories. Let’s go our separate ways—it’s better that way—"

He intentionally didn’t finish his sentence on camera.

Yet his look was more infuriating to Zhang Caidie than any harsh words could have been.

Gong Qiming clearly thought she would slow him down.

Zhang Caidie wasn’t willing to accept that.

She had set her sights on Gong Qiming for more than just a day or two—the man was handsome, popular, and had connections in the industry through his family.

She had heard about Gong Qiming’s numerous ex-girlfriends; he must be fickle, she thought, and Zhang Caidie was confident she could win him over.

This variety show was the perfect opportunity.

Her agent had also been repeatedly urging Zhang Caidie to get close to Gong Qiming during the show.

The reason was simple.

As a hot celebrity, Gong Qiming was sure to get the most screen time after editing. If Zhang Caidie could be seen with him, she was likely to get a fair amount of camera time as well.

She might even see a significant boost in her popularity by seizing this opportunity.

Zhang Caidie glanced at Yue Qingqing beside Gong Qiming and felt even more jealous and resentful.

Why was it that every time, the things she coveted so dearly seemed to come so easily to her?

"Is it because of Miss Yue? Is that why you won’t take me with you? Are you afraid Miss Yue will be jealous?"

Zhang Caidie teased coquettishly as if Gong Qiming’s refusal to include her was all Yue Qingqing’s fault.

Gong Qiming chuckled, "Jealous? Are you out of your mind?"

After walking away with Yue Qingqing, he couldn’t help but scoff, "What is with people like her? Whenever they see a man and a woman together, their minds fill with shady thoughts. How does that saying go? Spot a short sleeve and immediately think of the bare arm, and after seeing the arm, immediately think of—"

Yue Qingqing hurriedly covered her junior brother’s mouth to prevent him from saying something inappropriate on camera.

The director watching the monitor laughed so hard it sounded like honking.

Although this segment was clearly unfit for broadcast, Gong Qiming was too unyielding.

It was simply—satisfying!

Tang Zhubiao, still bitter over a past romantic setback, despised people like Zhang Caidie who insincerely traded on feelings.

Biting her lower lip, Zhang Caidie returned to Ou Chi’s side.

Ou Chi also gave Zhang Caidie a cold glance.

If it hadn’t been for the cameras, he would have taunted her with a comment like, "Failed to cling onto him, so you’re back?"

Zhang Caidie quickly put on a smile and said a few words, but Ou Chi walked off briskly towards the front.

The atmosphere here was awkward, while Gong Qiming and Yue Qingqing had already completed a preliminary plan.

From asking locals in Kangcheng, they learned that the amusement park’s ticket prices were a hundred yuan a piece, all-inclusive.

It wasn’t cheap, but it was said to be worth the cost.

The park boasted various advanced and interesting attractions, as well as stage plays and tours.

Gong Qiming counted on his fingers, "If we go to a restaurant to wait tables..."

Yue Qingqing promptly discouraged her senior brother from that idea.

"It’s already one o’clock. We only have six hours, and that definitely won’t be enough time."

Seeing the two of them troubled, the staff of the show chuckled mischievously.

Gong Qiming stroked his chin but suddenly had an idea.

"Well, I could sell myself."

Everyone: "?!?!?!"

They were hoping for a smooth airing of the show, not pushing someone into prostitution.

Get a hold of yourself, Gong Qiming!
