Chapter 421: 420. Got carried away with playing (seven updates)

[Holy crap, what a huge twist! No wonder she asked if the Reversal Card could flip identities, she was waiting for this moment!]

[Flip identities? She had already thought of this from the start??? What kind of brain does she have ahhh——]

[So, a traitor took out both the good guys and bad guys and became the final boss?]

[If that’s the case, all the landlord’s land now belongs to her!!!]

[OMG! You can play it like that?!]

[Ahhhh, Tang Shu is unbeatable, I’m losing my mind!]

[I’m freaking out too, how is Tang Shu’s brain even structured, what kind of makeup is this!]

[A tale of a treacherous official’s usurpation! Tang Shu really is invincible, the greatest treacherous official in history!]

On the bullet screen, the words [A tale of a treacherous official’s usurpation]filled the screen.

Inside the Palm Pavilion, Su Xiaochi had become so engrossed she forgot to even snack on sunflower seeds.

"Well played, you really got everyone!"

Seeing everyone’s surprise, Tang Shu paused, "I asked the production team, and they said the Reversal Card could be used like that."

It was... quite aggrieving.

It was indeed allowed by the production team.

Su Xiaochi sighed, "Now I finally understand why you just said reality shows are pretty fun."

Playing a game and tricking everyone, that was indeed quite fun.

Probably in this episode, only Tang Shu herself got a kick out of it.

Yang Tiantian looked up at her with adoration, eyes turning to stars, "Boss, you’re too awesome?!"

A reversal upon reversal, the plot was so densely packed it left her stunned.

At this moment, not only the two of them were stunned, but in the TV station as well, the Station Master, who had just shifted his buttocks away, moved back into place.

He too was gaping in astonishment.

"No wonder you two mentioned there would be a twist later, this episode is full of highlights—"

He now finally understood why the two had been so excited initially, he was boiling with enthusiasm!

"The plot is great, the twists are amazing, and even the editing’s done well."

The only thing was there were too many shots of the newcomer, but that couldn’t be helped; she really shone bright.

The two directors grinned; this time they had truly met expectations.

"You seem really happy with the show, is it that exciting?"

"Exciting, very exciting."

The Station Master was not stingy with his praise this time,

"Quick, check the ratings, how much are they?"

"It’s at 4.7 now! It surged to 4.7 at the last moment!"

"Hahaha, not bad, not bad at all! Well done!"

Everyone was overjoyed.

The Station Master paused, then narrowing his eyes at Tang Shu on the video, "The fourth season is about to end, right? When the fifth season starts, we can invite this young lady as a regular, I think she’s got what it takes."

She really had it!

Such a good sense for variety shows!

***

The episode ended with Tang Shu returning all the lands to the poor, a happy grand finale.

However, online discussions about detectives didn’t end there; instead, they seemed to be escalating.

After a night of simmering, the situation became even more intense, as every new media professional got moving, their keyboard tapping lasting all night.

The next day Tang Shu woke up, her phone screen was filled with headlines about "Let’s Detective Together," of all sorts.

[What does an unconventional village girl look like? Let the editor show you something new!]

[To choose a buzz cut or keep the original hairstyle, that is a question worth pondering.]

[These days, you can’t argue with the stylist who messes you up.]

["Let’s Detective Together" is full of energy, densely packed with laughs, not to be missed!]

[The most powerful tale of a treacherous official’s usurpation ever, eliminate left and right, and you’re the biggest boss!]

——This comes from the serious new media professionals who study their trade earnestly.

[Wang Zhan: The most tragic victim across four seasons!]

[Hilarious, Ke Jiazhao trapped in a quagmire, blissfully unaware!]

[Zhang Yilin - The fool son of a landlord’s family]

[Zhang Yilin and Tang Shu pair up for the second time, reliving the rustic revelry on-site.]

——This came from the innovative, clickbait-loving new media folks.

["Let’s Detective Together" ratings hit 4.7, a record-breaking moment!]

[Just overnight, "Let’s Detective Together" surpasses "Happy Together" to become the top variety show.]

——These are from the new media professionals in the entertainment and finance sector.

...

Tang Shu briefly skimmed through and didn’t need to open each link to know just how hot this episode of the detective show had become.

And her diligent assistant, Shen Yan, had proactively sent her screenshots, so there was no need for frantic phone calls anymore.

"So quiet this time?"

For the first time not being woken up by the ringing of a phone, Tang Shu couldn’t help but murmur, and silently gave Shen Yan a thumbs up for his discretion.

Very good, this employee has finally developed the commendable habit of remaining unfazed by chaos.

Not bad at all.

Let’s hope it lasts.

No sooner had she spoken, than the other party’s phone call came through, before she even got to check out the WeChat screenshots for details.

"Boss! You’re trending again——"

Tang Shu: "..."

Later than expected.

She was overthinking it.

Before she could respond, chatterbox Yan was online, "Boss, boss, you have no idea, from top to bottom, the trending searches are all about ’Let’s Detective Together’!"

"..."

I know, the sheer volume of press releases tells me how big it was.

"And several of them are about you!"

Of course, after all, I’m the ultimate winner of the game.

"I’ve already watched the show, oh my god, I’m so impressed by you, how do you do it? How can you be so brilliant!"

Who would have thought the Reversal Card could be used like that?

My boss really doesn’t pull any punches when it comes to setting traps! Everyone but herself is the enemy!

Tang Shu glanced at the time displayed on her phone.

"Wait, it’s only 6:30 AM now, when did you watch the show?"

She always had a habit of exercising in the morning, 6:30 was her usual wake-up time, and Tang Shu didn’t think Shen Yan, with his easily startled nature, could have watched it last night and held off until now.

So... did he get up early in the morning just to watch the variety show?

This episode was an hour and a half long.

Shen Yan, still giggling and in high excitement, said, "Yes, yes, I just finished watching it, oh my, it was hilarious, so damn good!"

"...Don’t use foul language."

"Sorry boss! I deeply reflect on it, I want to rewatch it, I feel like I didn’t do well with the comments I posted. Good morning, boss. Goodbye, boss!"

"Beep——"

Call ended.

Tang Shu was dumbfounded.

Meanwhile, in a bachelor’s apartment near Starshine Media, Shen Yan was battling dark circles under his eyes, staring at his computer screen with an intensity that betrayed his all-nighter.

If someone were there, they would have instantly recognized that the guy had pulled an all-nighter.

"Ah, it’s Brother Li’s shift today, not having to go to the office is just fantastic!"

"There are some parts I didn’t quite get, I need to rewatch it, get a notebook ready, I’m going to take notes!"

Over at Palm Pavilion.

Tang Shu stared at her phone for two seconds of silence, weighing whether or not to dock his pay.

Forget it, forgive him this once, he’s probably not fully awake yet.
