Chapter 29 A Slap

When faced with such questions, idols typically answer with their fans or parents.

For virtual idols, professing love for their fans is practically a standard response.

Maintaining zero scandals is crucial for virtual idols to solidify their fan base.

This was essentially a question with an easy answer.

"Suisui likes everyone who likes Suisui. Of course, Suisui likes Mr. Gu the most." Suisui's words stunned everyone.

Everyone knew who Mr. Gu was, but this answer was still somewhat unexpected.

"Your employee management is excellent." Bai Yuqi nudged Gu Yaoyang next to him from the audience.

Gu Yaoyang was also taken aback, seemingly unaware of this particular setting for Suisui.

Considering who voiced Suisui, Gu Yaoyang's expression became somewhat subtle.

"Why is that?" the host asked curiously.

"Because Mr. Gu is Suisui's daddy, and Suisui likes daddy the most~" Suisui's shy gesture, covering her cheeks, made her look just like a pure and adorable little girl.

This demeanor charmed everyone.

The recording concluded smoothly, and everyone’s stiff smiles finally relaxed.

"Ling Feng Han, I'm really sorry, I just..." Wen Shengsheng approached Ling Feng Han with an apologetic expression.

"Please move aside." Ling Feng Han walked backstage without even glancing at Wen Shengsheng.

Seeing Ling Feng Han's actions, Wen Shengsheng felt even more indignant.

What was there to show off about?

Ling Feng Han reached backstage and saw Xia Qing Tian chatting with the staff. He greeted her with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work."

"Not at all, you're the one who worked hard today," Xia Qing Tian replied with a smile. "Hearing your song live was truly breathtaking, it sounded wonderful!"

Ling Feng Han simply chuckled and didn't say anything further. He mentioned having a small interview and seeing her later before going back to his tasks.

Wen Shengsheng had come with the intention of causing trouble. The fact that the two of them had managed to handle the situation until now was already the best they could do.

They hoped the post-production editing would be favorable. Of course, the company would handle negotiations, so they didn't need to worry about it.

Li Meng Xiao also breathed a sigh of relief, her hands trembling as she held Xia Qing Tian's. Xia Qing Tian spent a good while comforting her.

"Wait for me, I need to say hello to a friend, and then we'll head back to the hotel." Xia Qing Tian patted Li Meng Xiao's shoulder and followed the crowd to look around. She didn't see Mobius, only a roguish blonde man who gave her a knowing smile.

Xia Qing Tian gave him a surprised glance before leaving the set with Li Meng Xiao. In the car, Xia Qing Tian sent a message to Mobius.

Meanwhile, at the staircase on the second floor of the recording venue, Yu Lin Wan blocked Mobius, her voice filled with grievance. "Yaoyang, I'm truly sorry. Today was an accident. I didn't mean to make things difficult for anyone from Gu's Entertainment."

"It's nothing. You did what you had to do, there's no need to apologize to me." Gu Yaoyang's tone was cold. "Wanqing Entertainment is also launching a virtual idol. It's normal to not see eye-to-eye with Suisui. Wanqing Entertainment isn't new to this kind of thing."

"Yaoyang, it's really not like that. Believe me, I..." Yu Lin Wan's words were interrupted by Gu Yaoyang.

"Believe you? You think you're worthy?" Gu Yaoyang gave Yu Lin Wan one last look before turning away.

Watching Gu Yaoyang's retreating back, Yu Lin Wan's remaining words felt as if they had been abruptly halted, unable to be spoken.

Descending the stairs, Gu Yaoyang saw Bai Yuqi smiling mysteriously at him. "Xia Qing Tian was looking for you earlier, but she couldn't find you."

As soon as Bai Yuqi finished speaking, Gu Yaoyang's phone received a message from Xia Qing Tian.

[I wanted to say hello before leaving, but I didn't see you. I'm heading back to the hotel now~]

[I was just discussing editing with the staff. Be careful.] Gu Yaoyang replied to the message before putting his phone back into his pocket. "Let's go."

"Where to?" Bai Yuqi asked curiously.

"I'll accompany you back to the Bai family," Gu Yaoyang replied.

"Wow! Enemy turned friend! You're truly my kin! Just as expected of our brotherhood, forged in diapers!" Bai Yuqi said emotionally. "You're going to speak to Grandpa on my behalf, right?!"

"No. To lodge a complaint."

"..."

This thing called brotherhood is truly unreliable.

At the same time, Yu Lin Wan, who remained in her spot, felt a sharp pain in her heart.

They were once the closest of people, and now look at them...

Gu Yaoyang's gaze towards her was so indifferent now, and his way of addressing her was so distant.

There was no going back.

"Wan Jie." Wen Shengsheng appeared behind Yu Lin Wan and was about to say something.

Yu Lin Wan suddenly turned around and slapped Wen Shengsheng hard.

Stunned by the slap, Wen Shengsheng stumbled back several steps, almost falling.

"Who told you to act on your own?" Yu Lin Wan demanded coldly.

"I..." Wen Shengsheng, covering her face, had a blank mind.

"Wan Jie, our Wanqing Entertainment is about to launch a virtual idol. Sheng Sheng's actions were for the sake of our company," Wen Shengsheng's agent quickly stepped forward to defend her.

Hearing her agent's words, Yu Lin Wan's expression softened slightly.

She knew, of course, that Wen Shengsheng's methods were a bit crude. As a rival company, it wasn't wrong for Wen Shengsheng to cause trouble.

Otherwise, after hearing that Gu's Entertainment was going to launch Suisui on this program, she wouldn't have had her personally bring people over for a surprise appearance.

But...

Thinking of Gu Yaoyang's words and recalling the look in his eyes, Yu Lin Wan felt a deep bitterness. If she didn't vent this pain, she would go mad.

"If you act on your own again, you're fired." Yu Lin Wan slapped Wen Shengsheng, feeling much better. She only gave this warning before turning to leave.

After Yu Lin Wan left, her agent sighed, looking at Wen Shengsheng's face with concern. "I hope it reduces in swelling quickly. You have an interview the day after tomorrow."

"I'm fine." Wen Shengsheng clenched her fists tightly at her side. One day, she would climb to the very top, and no one would be able to bully her again.

This time, she was determined to become famous, no matter the cost.

"Did you record the incident on stage earlier?" Wen Shengsheng looked at her agent.

"I recorded a segment." The agent handed the recorded video to Wen Shengsheng.

It was the part where Wen Shengsheng argued with Suisui.

This segment would likely be edited out once the show officially aired.

Earlier on stage, she had deliberately shown a wronged expression. The position she chose was good, and she was definitely captured.

When the time came, she would buy some press releases, first criticizing herself for looking upset during the recording, and then releasing the video of Suisui calling her "auntie" and disrespecting her. She would make sure Gu's Entertainment's project collapsed completely.

She wanted to see how that voice actor, who couldn't even show her face, would survive in the entertainment industry afterwards!
