Chapter 67
Huo Qingyan’s questioning tone was exceptionally serious.
But his expression was terrifyingly cold.
Shen Xiumo hesitated for a long time, only managing to say, “You’re not a star!”
Huo Qingyan pondered for a moment. “I have 30 million followers on Weibo.”
Shen Xiumo snorted disdainfully. “Who are you kidding? Your Weibo account was only registered a month ago! My Weibo account has been registered for ten years, and I only have over 80 million followers.”
Huo Qingyan was really something.
Not only could he joke, he could also brag.
Huo Qingyan didn’t bother to argue with Shen Xiumo about such trivial matters, only saying expressionlessly, “If you don’t let me on your show, I’ll go to your competitor’s show.”
“You…” Shen Xiumo laughed angrily. “You’re incredible!”
Huang Sheng Group’s competitor was also an established entertainment company. A few years ago, it was on the decline, but in recent years, it had started producing a large number of variety shows, each with a good response.
This was also why Shen Xiumo went all out this time, specifically creating a divorce show for Jiang Su.
Although Huo Qingyan wasn’t from the entertainment industry, he did have a natural ability to attract attention.
Whether it was his aristocratic background, his outstanding looks, or his title as a business prodigy, each aspect was enough to capture people’s attention.
If Huo Qingyan really appeared on the show, it would inevitably explode the attention on “After Divorce, Are You Happy?”.
But the downside was that, with Huo Qingyan’s personality, he would inevitably be criticized if he participated in the show.
Shen Xiumo tried to reason with him: “Can you not act impulsively? You’re not a professional artist, do you know how harsh some people online can be?
You, the president of Huo Corporation, being insulted by some random people, won’t you feel embarrassed?”
He certainly felt embarrassed.
He genuinely considered Huo Qingyan a rival, and although he often ridiculed Huo Qingyan, he still had a certain amount of respect for him.
Some people are like that, even with a poker face, they are simply capable.
He had to admit it.
He truly didn’t want Huo Qingyan to be insulted.
Huo Qingyan’s tone was firm: “I won’t be.”
The words Shen Xiumo wanted to say got stuck in his throat. “Fine, I’ll let you! You can be on the show next episode.”
Huo Qingyan: “Thank you.”
His tone was sincere.
Shen Xiumo was even angrier. “Just wait to be scolded to death!”
Huo Qingyan calmly continued to watch the screen.
He had never been scolded.
But he had seen the comments insulting Jiang Su.
…
The show continued recording.
The barrage of comments became active again:
【Why did they make us wait so long?】
【Hey, Mr. Xu’s mood doesn’t seem to have improved much.】
Xu Ce’s fans started attacking the comment above: 【What kind of dog are you? Watch your mouth! Don’t insult our Ce Ge!】
【Ce Ge? A divorced middle-aged man in his thirties, looking all wrinkled, what’s wrong with calling him ‘Old Master’? I’m showing respect for the elders!】
【By your logic, isn’t Wen Shanjing also an old master?】
【Can Teacher Wen be the same? Teacher Wen looks kind, unlike Xu Ce…】
The barrage of comments erupted into a heated debate.
But the recording scene was harmonious.
Fu Jin repeatedly asked several questions, and the guests answered properly.
Some people in the barrage expressed disappointment: 【Teacher Fu, don’t ask these boring questions, ask something relevant.】
【Yes, Jiang Su doesn’t seem to speak much either.】
【Was Jiang Su talked to by the program team?】
【Possible, Jiang Su’s previous words were pretty harsh.】
【Oh my god, Jiang Su has been keeping his head down, he looks so down, is he going to be banned?】
【Damn it, if Jiang Su is banned, I’ll never watch Huang Sheng’s shows again.】
At this moment, Jiang Su didn’t know that he had been imagined by netizens to be banned.
He was thinking about where to eat late-night snacks after the show.
Xu Ce, like some of the netizens in the barrage, thought Jiang Su had been warned by Shen Xiumo.
Seeing Jiang Su’s dejected appearance with his head down, he deliberately said, “Jiang Su, why aren’t you speaking?”
Jiang Su looked up, looking at Xu Ce seriously: “Do you want me to speak?”
Xu Ce: “…”
What’s going on?
Didn’t Mr. Shen talk to Jiang Su? Why is he still so arrogant?
Could it be that Jiang Su has a powerful background, so powerful that even Mr. Shen can’t do anything to him?
But if Jiang Su really had such a powerful background, he wouldn’t be targeted by the whole internet, would he?
Thinking this, Xu Ce felt slightly relieved.
The barrage at this moment:
【Hahaha, Xu Ce’s face is like: Why is he still so arrogant?】
【Seriously, I only watch the interaction between Xu Ce and Jiang Su in this show, and I can die laughing…】
【Confirmed, Jiang Su was not talked to, Huang Sheng is still Huang Sheng, daring indeed!】
“Speak if you want to,” Xu Ce laughed somewhat strainedly, looking like he was bluffing.
Jiang Su smiled. “Oh.”
Before Jiang Su could open his mouth, Fu Jin quickly interjected: “The next segment is to draw a comment from the barrage to start a discussion.”
The barrage went crazy:
【Can it be played like this?】
【Hahaha, are you serious? I’ll say it then!】
【I’ll go first: How to become a serial dater.】
【The untold story of a married artist and his assistant…】
Various targeted comments emerged endlessly.
Fu Jin certainly couldn’t be as reckless as Jiang Su.
Finally, the comment Fu Jin drew was: “The harshest thing your ex-husband/ex-wife ever said.”
This comment seemed innocuous.
Dong Xinyue spoke first: “There wasn’t anything particularly harsh. We’re both emotionally stable people.”
Tang Juanzi: “I said I was sick, he said he was busy.”
Xu Ce: “My ex-wife said something that left a deep impression on me. She said, ‘Someone like you will never have another chance to succeed.'”
At this point, a large number of passersby in the barrage started cursing Xu Ce’s eighteen generations of ancestors.
When it was Wen Shanjing’s turn, his eyes were already slightly red: “He said, seeing my face every day makes him nauseous.”
The other guests also said some innocuous things.
But Wen Shanjing was too honest.
Such words were really hurtful.
Everyone also knew that Wen Shanjing’s ex-husband only wanted his money. This made Wen Shanjing seem even more pathetic.
Xu Ce pretended to comfort Wen Shanjing: “It’s all in the past.”
Tang Juanzi also offered a few words of comfort.
Wen Shanjing lowered his head even more, saying nothing.
Jiang Su also knew that these two were somewhat mocking him.
Many people in the entertainment industry thought Wen Shanjing was stupid.
Compared to Wen Shanjing, he was much stupider.
“Jiang Su.” Fu Jin called Jiang Su’s name, signaling it was his turn.
Jiang Su lowered his eyes slightly and chuckled softly: “He said, if something happened to someone he cared about, he would make me accompany him in death.”
