Prev | Directory | Next

[I heard that the entertainment industry has the most melons. I can't wait.]

Yu Qianxia got off the car and her eyes fell on the recording site of the variety show 'Let's Go Travel Together' not far away.

"Let's Go Travel Together" was a travel variety show jointly produced by Xingmang Entertainment and Pineapple Video App.

Most travel shows on the market tend to have a slow pace, focusing on relaxation and leisure. Since the audience for this type of content was already saturated, it was hard for another similar show to break through. But this time, the "Let's Go Travel Together" production team decided to spice things up a bit.

As soon as the show was announced, it sparked heated discussions online—it was trending before it even aired, with non-stop buzz.

The twist was actually pretty simple—the show introduced a guest elimination system.

It worked kind of like a reality competition show. The first episode started with six guests, and viewers got to vote. The one with the lowest popularity score got eliminated each round, while the remaining contestants moved on to the next episode.

By the end of the show, the contestant with the highest cumulative popularity score will earn the chance to audition for the lead role in 'Yan Yue Legend', a big-budget historical drama funded by Pineapple Video.

This drama was the latest project from the renowned director Zhang Xinping—and when his name was attached, you already know it was a golden opportunity.

Sister Rong said that the contestants joining this show—those without real talent were there to hype themselves up, while those who did have skills were all aiming for that golden opportunity.

She patted Yu Qianxia on the shoulder before dropping her off at the filming site. "But don't stress about it, Xia Xia. Just be yourself. Even if you get eliminated, it's no big deal—we'll take things slow."

Yu Qianxia nodded in agreement while casually scanning her surroundings, searching for the best gossip target.

The system reminded her, [Host, hurry up and grab some gossip! You only had two minutes of clarity left!]

As soon as she stepped into the production zone, she noticed a rise in cameras and a swarm of busy crew members moving around.

At that moment, a man in a black suit stepped out of a sleek white business van. Director Qian, who was seated behind the monitors, immediately jumped up to greet him.

"President Qu, you're here! Please, come this way." Director Qian led the man to a beautifully decorated promotional table. "Don't worry, we've placed your products in the most eye-catching spot. See? The setup is both stylish and aesthetically pleasing. It's guaranteed to look great on camera."

The man in the suit, apparently President Qu, checked the setup and nodded in satisfaction. The two then continued chatting casually.

Yu Qianxia said to the system, [Let's go for President Qu's gossip.]

System: [Do you know his full name? If not, I might need extra time to dig up anything on him.]

Yu Qianxia's gaze swept over the "Meiji Beauty" products displayed at the advertising spot, her eyes pausing for a moment. "Meiji Beauty" was a brand under the Qu Corporation, so it was obvious that this "President Qu" was the head of the company. As for his actual name... she had no clue.

[Host, time's running out! Since you don't know his name, just pick someone else to dig up gossip on!] The system's voice carried a hint of urgency.

Only one minute left of clarity. Yu Qianxia swiftly shifted her focus.

With only one minute of clarity left, Yu Qianxia quickly shifted her target. Right then, a nanny van slowly pulled up at the entrance, and a man in a denim jacket stepped out.

She instantly recognized him—Qi Yuanzhou, a singer.

But Yu Qianxia wasn't familiar with him. Still, with no other options left, she decided to take a gamble and said, [Eat Qi Yuanzhou's melon]

The system received the command and immediately started digging up Qi Yuanzhou's gossip.

The man took off his sunglasses, and the moment he spotted Yu Qianxia, his eyes lit up slightly. Pulling his suitcase along, he strode over with a bright smile.

"Hey, Qianxia! Didn't expect to see you as one of the first guests. Nice to meet you!"

Yu Qianxia gave a polite nod. "Hello."

Qi Yuanzhou glanced around. "Are we the first ones here?"

At this point, Yu Qianxia's mind was only focused on the gossip, so she absentmindedly hummed in response, not bothering to keep the conversation going.

Qi Yuanzhou, momentarily taken aback, felt a small wave of disappointment.

As he was about to find another topic to get closer, a few more nanny vans pulled up not far away, and several guests stepped out one after another.

At the same time, the livestream started.

Lu Jianchen walked with his hands in his pockets, strolling side by side with Jiang Shasha.

Not far away, Yan Zhirou, dressed in an elegant white dress, had a sweet smile on her lips as she politely bowed and greeted Liu Chuyang, who had a calm and steady demeanor.

The camera panned across each guest.

Finally, it stopped on a delicate face with fair skin.

[No way! Yu Qianxia is here too?]

[Help! Is the production team trying to stir up drama? These three are still trending, and now they're face-to-face already?]

[Oh my god, I'm getting secondhand embarrassment. How does Yu Qianxia still have the nerve to show up? How can she face Lu Jianchen and Jiang Shasha?]

[This is the first time I've seen a homewrecker act so confident. Gotta admire Miss Yu's courage!]

The moment Yu Qianxia appeared, the livestream chat exploded. The screen was flooded with comments roasting and mocking her.

But on set, everything remained peaceful. The guests greeted each other as if nothing had happened.

Jiang Shasha pulled Lu Jianchen along, warmly greeting the other guests—except for Yu Qianxia.

The tension between the three of them was even more awkward than the viewers had imagined.

Yu Qianxia could feel a gaze on her. She glanced over and locked eyes with Yan Zhirou. Caught off guard, Yan Zhirou hesitated for a moment before quickly regaining her composure. She smiled politely, as if meeting Yu Qianxia for the first time. "Hello, Qianxia."

Yu Qianxia raised a slender brow and curled her lips slightly. "Hello, Yan Zhirou."

The camera quickly moved past this moment.

"Qianxia, let me help you with your luggage." Qi Yuanzhou approached enthusiastically, reaching out to take her suitcase.
