The bathroom door was firmly closed, Zhao Shengmo was still threatening Cen Yueyue at this time.
"You stop evading the topic. Give me the place!"
Cen Yueyue said with difficulty,
"But they've already settled on me. What if they don't agree when you go?"
Zhao Shengmo replied with a cold sneer,
"I'll act first and ask for forgiveness later, I'll replace you on the day. They cannot deny me when I'm already there."
Oh, bold move.
"Alright, then it's yours."
Zhao Shengmo: ...
Is she giving it up this easily?
"But I demand this much?"
While saying so, she held up five fingers.
"You're robbing me! Where would I get five million?"
Cen Yueyue initially wanted to say she meant fifty thousand, but she just didn't want to explain then.
Seeing her silent, Zhao Shengmo hesitated, eventually, she clenched her teeth and decided.
"Fine, if it’s five million, it's five million! But remember, you are not allowed to go that day."
As she was about to transfer the money to Cen Yueyue, Cen Yueyue woke up from the shock and immediately stopped her.
"What, backtracking?"
"No, when you transfer money, please clarify that it's a non-revocable gift, thank you."
Zhao Shengmo: ...
That's just like her, annoying as usual.
At that moment, a message alert sounded, as the big sum was transferred.
"Remember, from now on, that show is mine, and you, don't even dare to deceive me!"
Why would she? Cen Yueyue put on a servile smile.
"Of course, how would I deceive you? I like you so much that I wish I could always be with you..."
Feeling disgusted, Zhao Shengmo abruptly pushed her away and left the room in a huff.
As she was leaving, Cen Yueyue squinted her eyes and said,
"Shengmo is still so shy."
Does she realize that half of the plots behind her back in these years were her doing?
Unfortunately, this time, she had to trick her.
Naive girl, it's always easy to fool her.
So three days later, Zhao Shengmo applied a beautiful make-up, waited at the ferry with her agent for a whole day. But when she tried to contact Cen Yueyue again, she had already disappeared.
Much later, she was immensely relieved that she didn't end up on that deadly show.
Meanwhile, Cen Yueyue, chewing gum, arrived at the agreed meeting point, where a long coach was parked.
As soon as Cen Yueyue approached, she was stopped by a man that seemed to be a production staff.
"Sorry, our show is being filmed in isolation. To prevent any leaks, we'll have to confiscate all your communication devices."
Speaking, he picked up a box filled with cellphones, tablets and laptops.
Cen Yueyue: ...
In the end, before surrendering her phone, Cen Yueyue sent a message to her best roommate:
I'm going to record a closed set show. Don't even think about eating my beef jerky, else we're going to have a fight when I'm back.
Then contentedly she put her phone into the box.
"Big brother, please take care of it. Don't let it freeze or overheat. It's been tough these years following me. The poor thing, you...”
She almost held his hands as she beseeched him.
"Make sure you make her happy..."
The man: ...
This is ridiculous!
After finishing the filming, Cen Yueyue happily bounces to the bus with her luggage.
"Hey, beautiful lady, let me help you."
A blue-haired young man offers to help Cen Yueyue to put her luggage in the storage space under the bus.
Without hesitation, he tried to lift it, and then...
An awkward situation occurred.
He couldn't lift it.
"Ehm, your luggage... it's quite heavy,"
The young man smiled awkwardly, and with all his might, he finally managed to lift it and put it inside.
"You should eat more, poor boy."
Cen Yueyue sympathetically looked at him and offered him a peach-flavored bubble gum.
The man: ...
"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Yu Jieqi. I am a web sensation with tens of millions of followers on one of the platforms. Of course, I can't compare with you, a superstar."
Tens of millions?
Do online influences have that much following these days?
Cen Yueyue thought about her fans, a number that hasn't even reached a thousand...
She choose to silently keep her mouth shut.
"By the way, I apologize for not recognizing you. You are...?"
Yu Jieqi looked at Cen Yueyue from top to bottom. She has pinkish-brown curly hair, short in length, wearing a teardrop-shaped earring.
She has a big pair of eyes, yet with a distinctive sly touch, and a beauty spot on the tip of her nose.
Her cheeks were painted with a light pink blush, and a sprinkling of freckles made her look chic, but adorable, irresistibly attractive.
She's beautiful, but he doesn't seem to recognize her.
"Oh, actually... I am an average person, I was shopping when the director asked me if I was single. They told me they would introduce me to someone, so I came."
Yu Jieqi: ...
"Haha, you're so funny."
He smiled awkwardly again, not sure how to continue the conversation.
Once Cen Yueyue got on the bus, she noticed that there were quite a few people already. She quickly took a glance, then hid herself in a corner, covered her head with a sun hat, crossed her arms and fell asleep.
It was a while before Cen Yueyue was woken up.
"Wake up, we're here."
Cen Yueyue rubbed her eyes, and saw a very beautiful woman in front of her - cool and elegant, especially her waist...
That gorgeous woman look displeased, and left Cen Yueyue to get off the bus. Cen Yueyue had no choice but to follow.
She recognizes the beautiful woman, her name is Zou Yunshu, a top line actress, and she's actually rich.
If she doesn't work hard, she will have to inherit her family's billions.
When she got off the bus, there was a hanging bridge in front of them. The bridge was shaky, and it looked very dangerous.
Underneath was an abyss, which made people feel fearful.
"Why do I feel like we are not here to find love, but to survive in the wilderness?"
Cen Yueyue wondered out loud.
At the moment, their luggage was unloaded from the bus.
"The shooting time is one month. If there's an emergency, you can contact us through the director's phone number. We will pick you up in a month."
The rest of the way was not suitable for the bus, so they had to walk.
"Wait, this is so dangerous, letting us walk over there with our luggage. If something happens, how can you guys be responsible?"
The speaker was a young man with slicked-back hair.
Little did he know, the bus driver completely ignored him, boarded the bus, and drove off arrogantly.
"I want to file a complaint!"
The young man was furious, but the director, who had been silent until now, stood up.
"Alright, since you're all here, just follow the plan obediently. If you don't want to, I can immediately find someone to replace you."
The young man: ...
He eventually shut up, not wanting to miss this great opportunity.
"The official recording starts tomorrow. The crew will arrive tomorrow, so today you guys should get to know each other and remember your respective scripts."
With the director's command, everyone fell silent for a moment.
Thus, facing the suspension bridge ahead, no one dared to step forward.
Cen Yueyue, carrying her suitcase and chewing bubble gum, looked at the hesitant people in front of her and asked,
"Do we need to queue to cross the bridge?"
The person glared at her, clearly displeased about something, then stepped aside for Cen Yueyue, as if to say, "You go ahead."
Alright, she would go.
Cen Yueyue, carrying her suitcase, crossed the suspension bridge with ease. Even a bit of shaking didn't affect her, as if she was on vacation.
"Who is she?"
The director suddenly asked about Cen Yueyue's name, and the assistant next to him, holding a list, replied,
"Her name is Cen Yueyue, an artist from Tianlan Company, not known for any significant works."
Seeing that the director remembered Cen Yueyue, the person who had glared at her earlier couldn't help but purse their lips.
