Ch 304: Lessons

The next morning, the three of them went to the TV station again to prepare for the official recording.

Just like yesterday, no one prepared a dressing room for Xie Xinyi.

Gu Qingyin stood aside and sneered, and made a phone call to the director, “Such a big TV station can’t even prepare a dressing room for the guests, so what are we recording? Just leave the slot open!”

Gu Qingyin hung up the phone after venting her anger, and the director was dumbfounded. He quickly asked people to find out what was going on, and his head grew bigger after hearing it.

Now he knows why Gu Qingyin is willing to pay money to record the show. She’s here to back someone up.

Gu Qingyin and Xie Xinyi stood at the entrance of the dressing room, watching the artists who arrived later than them enter the dressing room smoothly one by one.

“This is what you mean by no space?” Gu Qingyin’s tone was cold, and she looked down at the little assistant condescendingly, relying on her height, “Who gave you the guts to stop me?”

The little assistant was new to the world. Although she felt that she looked a little familiar, she only thought that she was an unknown celebrity trying to latch onto Xie Xinyi, and even reminded her with good intentions.

“To tell you the truth, Times Film and Television has spoken. If Xie Xinyi doesn’t renew her contract, they will dare to ban her. This scene is just a small warning. You should support someone else.”

Xie Xinyi’s face was ugly, but she didn’t waver, “I will never renew the contract.” The new contract is like a contract of indenture; anyone who signs it is a fool.

Gu Qingyin smiled noncommittally, “You have the potential to be a lackey.”

The little assistant rolled her eyes, “You don’t know what’s good for you.”

At this moment, a middle-aged man trotted over. When he saw Gu Qingyin, his eyes lit up, and he quickly greeted her, “Madam Huo, your dressing room is ready, please come with me.” After speaking, he looked at Xie Xinyi, “Miss Xie, you too.”

The little assistant’s eyes widened, and she stopped them, “Director Du said that Xie Xinyi is not allowed to enter the dressing room…”

The man turned his head and glared at her, “When did Director Du get to call the shots at our TV station? If you’re so obedient, why don’t you go to Times Film and Television to work?”

The little assistant’s pupils trembled, “But…”

“But what!” The man said impatiently, “You have no common sense at all, you’re fired!”

The little assistant looked like she had been struck by lightning.

Gu Qingyin chuckled and raised her eyebrows in response, “You should support someone else.”

The group left, leaving the little assistant with red eyes in place.

The people inside saw what happened at the entrance of the dressing room.

Because of the man’s words “Madam Huo,” many people recognized Gu Qingyin. At the same time, they sighed in their hearts that Xie Xinyi had good methods and had found a backer so quickly.

Several guests had different thoughts and couldn’t go too far during the filming.

The host also received a warning from the director, telling him to restrain himself. Although he didn’t know what happened, he was still a member of the TV station, so he naturally listened to the director more.

Logically speaking, after things have developed to this point, anyone with eyes wouldn’t target Xie Xinyi anymore, but there happened to be a young actress from the same company as Xie Xinyi among the guests, named Qi Wei.

Qi Wei was usually jealous of Xie Xinyi, and this time she got instructions from the higher-ups, so she could openly attack Xie Xinyi.

The recording began, and everything went smoothly.

Without deliberate targeting, Xie Xinyi’s performance was not particularly outstanding, but it was still remarkable and could leave some memorable points.

Until the most classic water splashing game began.

Qi Wei and another girl teamed up against Gu Qingyin and Xie Xinyi.

Gu Qingyin and Qi Wei were responsible for splashing water, and Xie Xinyi and the other girl played the game. Whoever lost would be splashed.

Qi Wei completely ignored the rules, splashing water regardless of winning or losing. After splashing, she would apologize with a pretentious expression, and then break the rules again next time.

After three consecutive rounds, Gu Qingyin got angry, got up and switched places with Xie Xinyi, and looked at Qi Wei with a smile, “You are not suitable for splashing water, let’s switch over and play the game.”

Of course Qi Wei didn’t want to, she said with a smile, “I’ll practice more, I can do it!”

Gu Qingyin’s lips were still smiling, but her eyes turned cold, “If you want to practice, practice at home. Now switch over and play the game with me.”

Qi Wei felt a sense of fear in her heart, and she subconsciously looked at the host.

The host was also a little scared, and said with a smile, “Let’s switch and play, it’s rare to come once, experience more.”

Qi Wei had no choice but to get up and switch places with her partner, “I’m a gaming idiot, Master Gu, please be merciful.”

Gu Qingyin sat down and nodded, “I guarantee fairness and justice.” After speaking, she turned her head and instructed Xie Xinyi, “Watch carefully, if she loses, splash her, with all your strength.”

Xie Xinyi nodded vigorously, ready for battle.

Qi Wei pursed her lips, feeling a little flustered in her heart.

To be honest, it was a bit bullying for Gu Qingyin to play this kind of reaction game with a young girl.

In the first round, Gu Qingyin directly killed her. After Qi Wei lost, she secretly called out that it was terrible. She didn’t know what she was thinking, but she actually wanted to use her eyes to threaten Xie Xinyi, so that she wouldn’t dare to splash water.

As a result, as soon as she turned her head, she was met with a water slap.

With a “slap!” sound, it was particularly crisp.

The surrounding guests immediately cheered and exclaimed that this was too ruthless.

Xie Xinyi seemed frightened, and looked at Gu Qingyin with trembling eyelashes, but saw Gu Qingyin’s eyes curved with a smile, and gave her a thumbs up, “Great! Play like this!”

Xie Xinyi blinked and nodded obediently again.

After Qi Wei wiped off the water, the second round continued. She held her breath and made a decisive move, but she still couldn’t beat Gu Qingyin’s reaction speed and lost again.

This time, the water slap came faster. Qi Wei had no reaction time at all and was directly slapped on the side of her face.

In a trance, she heard Xie Xinyi cheer softly.

“Good accuracy, keep it up!” Gu Qingyin encouraged, “The speed can be faster.”

Xie Xinyi nodded repeatedly, “I’ll try my best!”

The game continued, and Xie Xinyi seemed to have found her comfort zone. One water slap after another was slapped over, and the pent-up anger in her heart seemed to dissipate a lot.

Unfortunately, the game ended when it accumulated to five points.

Xie Xinyi felt a little regretful when she put down the water cup.

After that, everything went smoothly until the end of the recording. After all, no one wanted to be the second Qi Wei.

Gu Qingyin thought that Qi Wei had been splashed into submission, but she didn’t expect that as soon as they returned to the backstage, Qi Wei rushed to Xie Xinyi and barked.

“Don’t think that you can be arrogant just because you found a backer. Guess if Gu Qingyin will still protect you when your scandals are flying all over the sky? Will she regret helping you today?”

Xie Xinyi frowned, “What scandals do I have?”

Qi Wei sneered, “Don’t pretend, I know everything.” She stared into Xie Xinyi’s eyes and said word by word, “Two years ago, Jindu Hotel.”

Xie Xinyi’s face turned pale, and her voice trembled slightly uncontrollably, “How would you know?”

Qi Wei raised her chin and smiled contemptuously, “Naturally, the other party involved said it himself.”

“What did you say? Let me hear it too.” Gu Qingyin walked in from the door.

Huo Yunjing glanced at the dressing room, thinking that three women make a drama, so he wouldn’t get involved, and then very considerately helped them close the door, standing at the door as a bodyguard.

To translate, it means that no one should disturb his wife from teaching others a lesson.
