Chapter 9: Chapter 009: Truly Difficult for the Qi Family Chapter 9: Chapter 009: Truly Difficult for the Qi Family Shen Yan’s side was going smoothly, and lunch was ready.
Wen Yan held the portioned fish meat and started eating without caring for his image, his eyes suddenly sparkling!
“Delicious!”
Who would have thought that a fish seasoned only with oil and salt could taste so good!
Shen Yan sat down on the ground without any burden and started gnawing on one end of a stick.
The down-to-earth Shen Yan suddenly made the audience reveal strange expressions; they were not used to it.
On the other hand.
Due to the 24-hour filming by the production crew, Liu Qiang fell several times, couldn’t find a gap to touch up her makeup, and looked utterly disheveled.
It was a significant change from her usual appearance.
The situation wasn’t so perfect anymore.
Though Zhou Jingming was a male star, he too would wear a bit of makeup and apply sunscreen.
But now, he was sweating profusely, feeling extremely uncomfortable with his greasy skin.
Beside him, Liu Qiang’s incessant annoying noises made Zhou Jingming wish he could smash the stuff he was carrying onto her face.
At this moment, Mu Jincheng was gasping like a bull carrying the belongings of two people, Chu Jing and himself had brought quite a lot of makeup products, all on his back.
Chu Jinghe only needed to smile beautifully at the camera, not needing to do anything.
Mu Jincheng rested repeatedly, tired to death.
His slightly long hair, because of the constant sweating, stuck to his skin, feeling uncomfortable and ruining his image.
Chu Jinghe frowned several times, offering to help, but he refused each time.
He wouldn’t let the woman he loved do such dirty and tiring work.
This deeply touched Chu Jinghe.
Mu Jincheng’s fans couldn’t stand it anymore.
[What is Chu Jinghe playing at? All she does is thank everyone along the way, all talk and no action; compared to Qin Dingyue, she’s far behind.]
Chu Jinghe’s fans couldn’t stay quiet and immediately fought back.
[It was Brother Mu who took on the tasks; how can you blame Hehe? Brother Mu is willing, but the fans are unhappy, seriously?]
[Exactly, such a small task can’t stump Brother Mu. Brother Mu is doting on Hehe, and you are just jealous.]
[I somehow feel that Chu Jinghe is a bit pretentious?]
[Blackie get out, my Hehe is definitely not that Fake Princess.]
Unwittingly, Mu Jincheng and Chu Jinghe ended up last, with Qin Dingyue and Xu Zishen leading at the front.
Though Qin Dingyue was so tired her back was about to break, her adventurous spirit wouldn’t allow her to give up halfway.
She had to persevere.
“Did we take the wrong route?” Xu Zishen took out the route map, and frowning, his brows knitted together.
“No way, we followed this path, the widest one must surely lead to the endpoint!” Qin Dingyue believed in her judgment.
The markings by the program group were so obvious, how could there be a mistake?
She knew the program group well; they wouldn’t do something so harmful.
However, they were wrong.
This time, the program group was all about causing trouble.
Walking until midday, starving and still unable to find the correct route.
A dead end appeared ahead, Qin Dingyue and Xu Zishen looked at each other, leaned back simultaneously, and rolled their eyes skyward.
This amused both of their fans immensely.
“Did we really take the wrong route?” Qin Dingyue was on the verge of tears.
She thought it would be as easy as the last episode, but the second episode started with the program group stirring up trouble.
Xu Zishen was also very frustrated.
He turned to ask Qin Dingyue, “Did you see Shen Yan and the others?”
Qin Dingyue was too excited earlier and didn’t pay attention to the condition of others.
She shook her head: “I didn’t see them catching up.”
Xu Zishen took a deep breath: “Let’s find something to eat first.”
He did not want to starve halfway.
This time, the program group was really inhuman.
They didn’t even prepare food.
In the last episode, food was set at specific points, and they were supposed to find them with the help of a route map.
This time, they just made a show of it at the beginning, and today, not even food was prepared.
Were they really expected to eat unknown wild plants on the island?
After one episode, they might end up malnourished and in the hospital.
Shen Yan watched the process of this episode, which wasn’t described very clearly.
There definitely wasn’t this segment.
Had she just reborn and twisted the plot already?
Shen Yan looked at the finish line in front of her and touched her nose.
Wen Yan couldn’t believe they had won.
Won so effortlessly.
It felt like a dream!
“We won…” Wen Yan looked blankly at Shen Yan.
Shen Yan nodded, as it was just a route map, and the distance wasn’t long; the mountain path was smooth and easy to walk, so wasn’t it normal for them to win?
The staff at the finish line was also stunned.
Was today’s task so easily completed?
Several hours earlier than expected.
Was the production team sure no one had leaked the route map to Shen Yan?
Not only were the staff members suspicious, Director Li’s face turned green when he received the footage.
How can they continue the game if it got broken so early?
Compared to the rough state of others, Shen Yan’s group seemed as leisurely as playing house.
What would other people think?
“Shen Yan definitely bribed the production team!”
“Shen Yan cheated!”
“There must be an explanation; everyone else struggled so much, why should she get to the finish line so effortlessly?”
“Haha, you people really have short memories—wasn’t it you who mocked Shen Yan for never reaching the finish line even if she walked till tomorrow? Face-slapped, aren’t you?”
“24-hour live broadcast, how could Shen Yan bribe the production team? Not like some people doing god-knows-what after turning off the live broadcast.”
This comment directly ignited the anger of fans from various camps.
Fans battled it out in the comment section.
In desperation, Shen Yan’s new fans pulled out the no-makeup faces of several female celebrities.
Shen Yan’s bare face was super strong while Liu Qiang and Chu Jinghe had secretly applied light makeup.
Ultimately, majority wins; Shen Yan’s few fans were quickly overwhelmed by spam from other fans.
The hashtag #ShenYanCheatingOnShow quickly moved up to become the 8th trending topic.
Director Li, keeping up with the times, stared at the trending list on the app, took a deep breath, and said: “Hurry up, let someone give hints to others off-camera!”
Whether it was Mu Jincheng or Chu Jinghe, they couldn’t be made to look too bad.
These were his top-tier partners who he had begged and pleaded to bring onto the show. Aside from Shen Yan attracting black fans for their traffic last time, these two had the highest popularity due to their co-appearances, which stayed trending for days.
It also contributed a boom in their show’s popularity.
So these two couldn’t be offended.
Especially Chu Jinghe, who had a massive fanbase; when they start fighting, it is extremely terrifying.
The crew quickly followed the directives.
After Director Li had given the instructions, Director Ji picked up his walkie-talkie and said, “Old Li, Shen Yan’s live room is about to explode.”
It wasn’t about to explode, it had already exploded.
Director Li had a headache.
He needed Shen Yan’s bad press for views.
But if black trending topics kept getting pushed up, wouldn’t that ruin the image of the show?
“Focus more cameras on Chu Jinghe and their group,” hoping to salvage the situation.
Chu Jinghe, who was guided to a shortcut, ended up in second place, which made the fans feel heartbroken.
They could have been first, but were overtaken by cheaters.
#Chu JingheAndSurvivalOnADesertIslandSecondPlace# magically pushed Shen Yan’s cheating trending topic down and shot up directly to the third spot.
Seeing this, Director Li quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Airport.
As the private plane touched down, a young man in a suit took a mobile phone handed to him by an assistant, fixed on the trending topic about Shen Yan from yesterday.
The handsome young man’s cold eyes narrowed, his expression turned sour: “What’s going on with the Qi Family, were they supposed to look after her, and yet she ends up in showbiz?”
The anger in his voice.
The assistant who came to pick him up cautiously said, “Miss Shen insisted on doing it. There was nothing anyone could do.”
Thinking of something, the young man’s expression grew even darker.
“Let her suffer the consequences, and next time, don’t bring such annoyances before me. The Qi Family really has it rough…”
Upon hearing this, the assistant knew that the Shen Family was washing their hands of her.
