Caught in Affairs with Superstar-Chapter 233 - 196: Rising Phase: 32

"This is slander!" Gan Bida roared angrily, "What evidence does she have? She’s just spouting nonsense!"

Zhang Yan quickly tried to calm him: "Bida, stay calm, I believe you, I know what kind of person you are, you definitely wouldn’t do something like this, I know."

Gan Bida angrily punched the table, making a thud.

Zhang Yan patted Gan Bida’s shoulder, soothingly said: "Don’t take it too personally, Su Yan didn’t mean to target you, she was going after Zhou Yun, you know those two don’t get along, it’s not surprising this situation arose. Enough said, I guess in the next few recordings, the clashes between these two won’t be few."

Gan Bida: "Zhang Yan, do you really think Su Yan isn’t targeting me? Those regular residents have always treated me as the newcomer, whether it’s the creative ideas for the show or the setup of the segments, they always find faults everywhere; one moment they say this segment is boring, next moment they complain that the process I designed is too complicated. They just don’t understand, they simply have a problem with me! Damn, these goddamn celebrities!"

Zhang Yan: "Bida, you really need to calm down."

He placed both hands on Gan Bida’s shoulders, with a calm and steady voice, told him: "Don’t forget, without them, there would be no show."

Gan Bida angrily turned his head away, looking in the other direction.

"There was an issue with Zhao Qin, he had to leave, they’ve been with Zhao Qin for so long, they have feelings, it’s normal that they don’t want to let him go."

"That’s their problem!"

Zhang Yan sighed, "Bear with it a bit longer, I promise, things will slowly get better, you are the most suitable person for this position, they will recognize that."

"Found it!" Zhou Yun found a clue hidden by the show team on the bookshelf, it was an envelope with the show team’s logo. She turned around and smiled brightly at Liu Haiyu, lifted the envelope, and said: "Brother Haiyu, I found a clue!"

Liu Haiyu immediately came over, "Let’s see, what does it say."

Zhou Yun opened the envelope.

Inside the envelope was a small key and a card.

The card had four characters: "Between red and white."

Liu Haiyu said: "This key is probably waiting for us to find the next location, something that needs unlocking, and inside will be the next clue."

Zhou Yun pondered: "What does ’between red and white’ mean?"

Liu Haiyu said: "My first thought is a hospital."

"The show team wouldn’t set the recording location in a hospital."

"You’re right." Liu Haiyu nodded.

The two discussed for a while but couldn’t figure it out.

Zhou Yun flipped through the city travel guide prepared by the show team. This guide contained the worthiest places to visit in the city. Generally, the clues set up by the show could be found in this travel guide, it just depends if the guests can find it. After all, a travel guide is quite thick, containing various descriptions.

"Between red and white, wait, I know!" Zhou Yun suddenly had an insight, she raised her hand and pointed ahead to a small ice cream cart, the cart’s awning was pink, "Pink! What is the most famous pink building around here?"

Liu Haiyu: "Ice Cream Alley!"

-

"Why are you here?" Su Yan frowned in confusion, looking at Zhou Yun unfriendly.

Zhou Yun also didn’t expect that she would run into Su Yan and Wei Chen in front of Ice Cream Alley.

"I got the clue that led here." Zhou Yun suspiciously looked at Su Yan. "You too?"

Su Yan cursed, "What the hell," then turned to Wei Chen, "Are you sure we were supposed to come here?"

"Between red and white, it must refer to here." Wei Chen shrugged his shoulders, indicating he also didn’t expect to encounter Zhou Yun and Liu Haiyu here.

His expression seemed very innocent.

"How could this happen? If it’s a group action, aren’t the action lines supposed to not intersect?" Su Yan glared at Zhou Yun, "Either we got it wrong, or you did, what clue did you get last round?"

Zhou Yun and Liu Haiyu looked at each other, said: "We got the same clue as you, ’between red and white.’"

Both parties looked at each other with suspicion for a while, almost simultaneously looking towards their scriptwriter.

"What’s going on?" Both asked in unison.

Five minutes later, both groups received the message, the Prop Team made a mistake, and one group’s clue was mistakenly placed twice.

"What should we do now?" Su Yan asked irritably, "Why would such a low-level mistake occur?"

Zhou Yun didn’t complain like Su Yan, but standing aside, she had already realized that this situation might not end easily.

Liu Haiyu had already gotten a cigarette from the assistant, lit it, and started smoking in a corner. It seemed he had the same premonition.

Ice Cream Alley itself is a place popular with young people, especially students. The small alley was painted pink, a hot spot for girls eager to take photos and check-in.

Zhou Yun and Su Yan, both popular celebrities standing at the entrance of the alley, were quickly recognized.

The recording was pre-discussed and security personnel had already been arranged, they protected Zhou Yun and Su Yan and the others in an open area, keeping others at bay.

Ten minutes later, Zhao Yan and Gan Bida arrived by car.

As soon as Gan Bida got out of the car, he apologized to the four, such a mistake indeed shouldn’t have happened during recording. His attitude was very sincere, but Su Yan and Wei Chen both kept their faces expressionless, showing no response, creating a somewhat awkward scene for a moment.

"What should we do now?" Zhou Yun asked, "What do you need us to do?"

Gan Bida looked at her gratefully, said: "Your group needs to re-record the last round’s clue, for fairness, we’ve paused all group recordings for now, and we will arrange a new clue. After you solve it and arrive at the respective location, all groups will resume action together."

Zhou Yun looked at Liu Haiyu.

Liu Haiyu nodded.

Zhou Yun said: "No problem, so we’ll just go back to the bookstore we were at before, right?"

Gan Bida nodded, relieved.

Zhou Yun was easier to talk to than he expected.

"Wait!" Su Yan suddenly spoke.

Hearing Su Yan’s voice, Gan Bida’s just relaxed breath tensed up again.

Gan Bida took a deep breath, looked at Su Yan.

"Is there a problem?"

Su Yan, with both hands crossed in front of her chest, said: "They record theirs, why do we have to stop and wait for them? Are we wasting everyone’s time?

Zhang Yan had to step out and speak, he said: "Su Yan, we must ensure the process is fair, and besides, this won’t take much time, it can be done in half an hour."

Su Yan turned to Wei Chen: "Do you think this is fair?"

Wei Chen shrugged, not saying a word, his stance was very clear, he was on Su Yan’s side.
