“Alright, I’ll arrange it right away,” Tang Mochen said, turning to leave.
However, he remembered something and turned back to look at Gu Shiyan,
“The three-month deadline has already passed, and the Star Observatory Tower has been delivered. But that Master Mountain River, is he really capable? There has been no news or progress whatsoever. How are you feeling now? Is there anything uncomfortable?”
Tang Mochen still recalled the sudden and almost fatal incident with Gu Shiyan’s curse, which had been truly terrifying.
Gu Shiyan’s gaze finally left the screen, and he replied calmly, “Everything is over.”
“Over?” Tang Mochen was taken aback, “Are you saying the curse on your body has completely disappeared, and you won’t be affected anymore?”
“Yes,” Gu Shiyan responded lightly.
“That’s fantastic! Now we can finally settle the score with those bastards in the capital,” Tang Mochen exclaimed excitedly, rubbing his hands together.
During the past few months, he had refrained from taking action due to concern for the curse on Gu Shiyan’s body. Now that the problem was completely resolved, there was no need to hold back anymore.
Gu Shiyan tapped his fingers on the table, “The Su family can hold their breath.
The news about Su Muvan being with me has been released for so long, vet there’s been no reaction from them. Since they won’t move, we’ll force them to. Contact the media and announce that Su Muyan, the young master of the Su family, has returned to the country. Tomorrow night, I will welcome him at Jiangnanchun and celebrate his return.”
“Alright, I’ll have Baili and his team block the entire hotel. They won’t be able to escape once they’re in,” Tang Mochen agreed, nodding.
With the arrangements settled, Tang Mochen thought of something else and grinned mischievously, “Shiyan, have you met the Master Mountain River yet? Is it a man or a woman? Young or old?”
Gu Shiyan cast him a sidelong glance, “What are you up to?”
“With such talent, we must recruit the Master Mountain River to our side. If it’s a man, we’ll be brothers, and if it’s a suitable woman, I’ll pursue her with all my might. Otherwise, it would be such a waste if someone else snatched away such a talented individual, ” Tang Mochen said nonchalantly, “Originally, you should be the one better suited to pursue her, considering she saved your life. Even offering yourself to her would be appropriate. But now, since you’ve already set your heart on Lu Miao, hehe, I’ll have to do it on your behalf.”
Gu Shiyan’s temples twitched, “Get lost and put away your wild thoughts.”
“What’s so wild about it? It’s perfectly normal. Besides, what if we are a perfect match? What if we both like each other when we meet?” Tang Mochen shrugged.
“You two aren’t a match, and she won’t like you,” Gu Shiyan replied coldly, shooting down his hopes.
Tang Mochen rubbed his chin, “She hasn’t even seen me, so how would she know if she doesn’t like me? Alright, give me her contact information, and I’ll arrange to meet her tonight.”
“I said you’re not a match!” Gu Shiyan emphasized coldly.
“Why do you keep obstructing me?” Tang Mochen suspiciously scrutinized him and came up with a possibility. His eyes widened instantly, “Could it be that you like the Master Mountain River? Damn, Gu Shiyan, are you two-timing? How can you do this to Lu Miao?”
Gu Shiyan’s face darkened, “I’ll count to three. One…”
“Okay, okay, I’m leaving.” Tang Mochen didn’t wait for him to finish counting and quickly moved toward the door. Just before leaving, he couldn’t resist adding, “Player.”
Gu Shiyan pressed his throbbing temple with his hand.
On the other side, after returning to the Lingyue Manor, Lu Miao picked up some items and went directly to the villa in Yushui Bay. There, she found the remaining half of the Starfall Herb that had been cultivated for making pills last time. With the experience gained from the previous cultivation, Lu Miao effortlessly cultivated five more plants of Starfall Herb.
She carefully put the Starfall Herb into a box and then stored it in her spatial pendant.
After dinner, just as she was about to go upstairs, Lu Miao received a message from Shen Muhan.
“Boss, quickly turn on the TV and watch Lemon TV.”
Before she could find the TV remote, her phone started vibrating madly.
One message after another kept popping up on her phone screen.
Opening WeChat, in just a few seconds, there were already over 99 messages in the class group.
Opening the group chat, they were all @ mentions, asking her to watch Lemon TV and go on Weibo.
After a long search, Lu Miao finally found the remote control, turned on the TV, and tuned it to Lemon TV.
The television was broadcasting “Youth Trainee.”
Originally, this show was only available online, but due to its high viewership, Lemon TV later bought the broadcasting rights for it.
Gu Ziheng had mentioned it to her before, but what did it have to do with her?
As Lu Miao watched the beautiful girls jumping and dancing on stage, she was aoouc co message snen muxue ana Inquire wnen me next moment, me camera suddenly cut to the audience.
Her face was directly magnified and appeared on the screen. After a pause of two seconds, it switched back to the stage.
In the short time of one song, the camera cut to her three times, covering almost every possible angle.
Then, Lu Miao remembered that she had been to the program once before, looking for Gu Ziheng. At that time, she had to wait for him to get off work and watched the show from the audience seat.
Opening Weibo, the top trending topic was “Youth Trainee Audience.” A red bomb emoji followed the hashtag.
Under the topic, her headshot was flooding the screen.
[“Such a beautiful lady doesn’t sign up to participate in the program but sits in the audience seat? @Gu Ziheng, you are asking for trouble!” ]
[“Beauty is the spiritual wealth of all mankind. @Gu Ziheng, hand over the contact information of the sister!”]
[“Isn’t this the smart sister who participated in ‘Super Brain’ before? I think her name is Lu Miao!”]
[“I’ve checked, it’s really Sister Lu, a super genius!!!”]
[“If you haven’t watched ‘Super Brain,’ go watch it now! Sister Lu carried the whole show by herself! So cool!”]
Netizens immediately went to check her history and, shortly after, someone traced her back to her participation in a talent show on Lychee TV. They also dug out the scandal of people from R country teaming up to eliminate her during the competition.
[“Oh my, isn’t this too shameless? Teaming up with people from R country to do such a thing!”]
[“Aren’t these two from different shows? What grudges and resentments could they possibly have to sabotage someone across programs?”]
[“Wait, isn’t this the new spokesperson that G Corporation just announced?
She’s called Lu Yu, did she deliberately change her name?”]
Someone immediately tagged G Corporation’s official account.
[“Do you know that your spokesperson is so shameless?”]
[“A brand using such an immoral person as their spokesperson, beware of G
Corporation in the future!”]
Followed by a row of warnings.
Lu Miao had never expected that just because she appeared on the trending list, all the negative news that Lu Siyu had tried so hard to delete from the internet were now brought to light.
This was truly an unexpected reward!
