Chapter 38: Chapter 38: Pretending to be a Top Student? You Must Have Forgotten Your Own College Entrance Exam Score!
Jiang Li had also observed the girl who had just entered.
Before arriving, she had briefly reviewed the profiles of the other three guests and could roughly match them up.
Shu Yan, universally recognized as the entertainment industry’s number one troublemaker and a third-rate actress.
It was said online that any occasion she showed her face, and there were male artists present, they would inevitably become her rumored romantic partners.
As a result, from the beginning of her career, Shu Yan was constantly scolded by the fans of various male stars.
Her sexy and spicy style also became the target of major media attacks; scandals about her dining with some big shot were frequently exposed.
Thus, when Xingmei Entertainment launched this variety show about transforming artists, Shu Yan’s name was pushed to the top of the comment section.
However, strangely enough, after Jiang Li had seen her face and analyzed her Four Pillars of Destiny, they showed Food and Injury dominating without the presence of Authority.
Generally, girls with such a fate are very dedicated and serious in relationships, and not at all flirtatious as the internet suggested.
He Yun was the same.
Exposed for being a diva, bullying newcomers, but his fate was quite fragile, especially with Shen Jin, deeply trapped in encirclement.
And Shen Jin represented the star of freedom.
From his facial features, it seemed he was long controlled by others, deeply stuck in the mire and unable to extricate himself.
His cold nature was real, but arrogance and self-importance were not necessarily so.
But since most of his facial features were covered, she couldn’t make out more detailed information.
Still, she had to say, the people her Second Aunt had signed were quite interesting.
Toning down the thoughts in her eyes, Jiang Li continued to focus on the book in front of her.
Silence fell again in the lounge, and Shu Yan, having failed several attempts to start a conversation, gave up and started browsing her phone out of boredom.
Only Director Sun was driven mad.
If the situation remained this cold, today’s KPI would be unattainable.
Having directed for so many years, he had never encountered a flop on the first day.
However, contrary to his expectations, an assistant rushed over to tell him that the popularity of the live room had not fallen but continued to soar.
The barrage of comments flew by even faster.
[What should I do? The atmosphere is so awkward, but I don’t want to leave.]
[An introvert’s nightmare, haha, I just love watching these awkward moments; they are so relatable.]
[So even celebrities have moments when they can’t find topics to talk about, I believe this is unscripted live.]
[Isn’t it eight o’clock? Why haven’t two guests arrived yet? Where’s Wen Jiaojiao? I’m waiting to see her tear into Jiang Li!]
Just as they mentioned Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived; the next second, a very impatient female voice came through the live room.
“How could you do this? What’s with the arrangements? There are so many people at the airport entrance, do you still want me to get in?”
“Just one staff member to pick me up? Is this the attitude of your production team?”
The abrupt voice forced its way into the unusually quiet lounge, making it more pronounced.
The four people all turned their eyes toward the door.
The next second, the door was forcefully pushed open, and a girl dressed in a light pink fairy-like dress, looking exquisite and pretty, walked in.
However, this girl seemed to be in a bad mood, not only looking irritable but also stepping very forcefully.
[Yo, yo, yo, isn’t that Princess Wen? She really thinks she’s a princess, showing up late and still expecting someone to pick her up.]
[Bold of you upstairs, Princess Wen is indeed the real princess of Xinli Media, stepping out in great pomp, followed by a dozen bodyguards; how could she endure ordinary treatment?]
[This variety show is absolutely epic; a green tea, a Princess Disease, a scandal queen, a pretentious prince—they’ve got all four peculiarities of humanity.]
Not only did the barrage despise Wen Jiaojiao for being late and throwing a tantrum, but the four in the lounge also responded quite genuinely.
Jiang Li, as usual, skimmed over the newcomer and then withdrew her gaze.
Shu Yan, ignoring the cameras, rolled her eyes and then picked up a makeup mirror to touch up her makeup.
He Yun coldly turned his head and continued to maintain his aloof persona.
Only Qi Tianyu stood up and greeted Wen Jiaojiao.
He had inquired beforehand that Wen Jiaojiao was Jiang Li’s archenemy.
As the saying goes, the enemy of an enemy is a friend, so he naturally wanted to greet his friend.
But Wen Jiaojiao wasn’t having it. She scoffed arrogantly and walked toward Jiang Li in her high heels.
“Hey, this is the seat I wanted, get up.”
The staff were stunned.
The live comments were also stunned.
[OMG, Princess Wen is really targeting Jiang Li. Does anyone know what their beef is about?]
[It’s said that at a charity gala, Jiang Li wore the same dress as her and humiliated her thoroughly.]
[Princess Disease vs. Green Tea Monster, I love this drama, the production team should broadcast more!]
[Finally, someone is putting Jiang Li in her place. I declare, starting now, I’m switching from blackening to fanning Princess Wen!]
The audience was eagerly waiting for the drama to unfold.
Wen Jiaojiao obviously wanted to embarrass Jiang Li.
If she yielded, it would mean submitting.
If she didn’t yield, the conflict would escalate further.
Whatever Jiang Li did would be wrong.
Seeing the atmosphere turning sour, the staff quickly ran to Director Sun.
This chapter is updated by freēwēbnovel.com.
“Director, could this turn into a problem? Should we intervene?”
What is up with today’s opening, either cold as icy hell or exploding like a volcano?
Is this transforming artists or testing our staff’s resilience?
But Director Sun shook his head as he watched the surge in the live viewership and revealed a thought-provoking, sinister smile.
“It’s fine, as long as they don’t come to blows, let them be, the scene has been cold long enough.”
Faced with Wen Jiaojiao’s deliberate provocation, Jiang Li wasn’t panicking, instead, she casually turned another page of the book in her hand.
“If you really want to sit here, I can give up the seat to you, after all, it is the first day of filming the variety show.”
“But if you are here to pick a fight, I’m sorry, I can’t get up.”
After speaking, she looked up, her gaze calm as she met Wen Jiaojiao’s.
The live comments erupted again.
[OMG, Jiang Li is quite clever, she’s shifted the blame onto Wen Jiaojiao in a flash.]
[Ahhh, that look in Jiang Li’s eyes, why does it feel so A-rated?]
[Though I’m not a fan of Jiang Li, I have to admit, her handling is graceful and deadly, directly choking her enemy.]
When Wen Jiaojiao heard her arrogant words, she was instantly taken aback.
How is Jiang Li different from before?
In the past, she would have thrown something and started arguing right away, considering they’ve been archenemies for many years.
But now, her aura suddenly grew stronger; just one glance had already overwhelmed her.
Annoyed, Wen Jiaojiao bit her lip and bluntly lashed out:
“Jiang Li, stop pretending, I know what kind of person you are, pretending to be a demure lady on variety shows to clear your image, but I won’t let you have your way.”
“Still pretending to be so engrossed in reading, acting like a scholar? You must have forgotten how low your college entrance exam scores were.”
Jiang Li remained unfazed, even leisurely picking up her tea.
“Wen Jiaojiao, if I were you, I would restrain myself in front of the cameras, not reveal my motives so others can use it against me. That’s not what a wise person does.”
“You!” Jiang Li’s soft approach infuriated Wen Jiaojiao so much she stamped her foot, but she was helpless.
Her rival had indirectly called her stupid. If she reacted rashly, wouldn’t that just prove she was even more foolish?
When did Jiang Li become so rational and composed?!
