Rich Side Character Goes Viral for Gossiping on a Laid-Back Reality Show Ch. 79

The only thing that did arrive...
was the termination contract from Xingmang Entertainment.

At the same time, Yu Qianxia casually opened her Weibo account and posted a new bombshell.

Yu Qianxia (Melon Edition) V: New melon, new melon! Xingmang Entertainment rookie Ye Yanshuang was forced into a fake persona just to act as a foil for Yan Zhirou on the show "Let's Go Travel Together"! #CannonFodderSideCharacterYeYanshuang#

The moment the post went up, the comment section blew up.

[Whoa! Sister Yu dropped another bomb!]

Yu Qianxia scrolled through the backstage comments and replied to a few of them directly.

With her explanation, the netizens got a more complete understanding of how everything had gone down.

The comment section exploded with rants and insults—though all the insults were aimed squarely at Yan Zhirou.

[Holy crap! When I watched the livestream, I already thought Ye Yanshuang was acting way over the top—turns out it really was an act!]

[Heh, Yan Zhirou's got a sugar daddy at Xingmang Entertainment and still came up with crap like this. Ye Yanshuang was seriously unlucky to run into her!]

[Didn't care much for Yan Zhirou before, but after digging up all her dirt these past few days, all I can say is—she's disgusting! Never seen someone this gross!]

[Used to be her fan, but not anymore. Yan Zhirou is the first person who made me understand what it means to have messed-up morals and be downright vicious. I'm sick to my stomach. I'm her anti-fan now, for real!]

Not long after, news broke online that Xingmang Entertainment had terminated their contract with Yan Zhirou.

Right after that, the "Let's Go Travel Together" production team wrapped up filming for the fourth episode, and the voting platform reopened.

In this round of voting, Yan Zhirou's votes were miles behind everyone else's—d**d last with only a little over fifty thousand votes.

Yu Qianxia still led the pack by a landslide, holding on tight to the number one spot.

After the clarifications, Ye Yanshuang gained quite a few fans online. She ranked fourth in the votes, but her total had already broken a million—which was an amazing start for a rookie.

When voting ended, as expected, Yan Zhirou was eliminated.

The former fan-favorite of the show had now bowed out in utter defeat. Some people felt sorry about it, but no one actually sympathized with her.

She had brought all of this on herself.

Chu Hanxun, who ranked fifth, should've been able to move on to the next round, but after voting ended, he chose to quit the show on his own.

People guessed it was because his heart had been completely broken by Yan Zhirou.

As for why he really quit, only Yu Qianxia knew the truth. She found it kind of funny—but it was a pity. That funny little secret would stay a secret forever.

Yu Qianxia checked her luck value. This time, it had gone up from 92 to 95. Only 5 points away from 100.

Yan Zhirou was no longer a threat.

Victory was close.

Just then, the system suddenly popped up:
[Host! The Fortune-Stealing System's luck is dropping, and its energy is decreasing too. I can now access all of Yan Zhirou's scandals from the past two years!]

[Anything you want to know?]

Yu Qianxia's eyes flickered slightly as she asked,
[Can you find out who the other person she turned into a paper doll is?]

System:
[Ah! Still can't get that one yet...]

Yu Qianxia:
[Alright, then there's nothing I want to know for now.]

Yu Qianxia could pretty much guess how Yan Zhirou had been smearing her name over the past two years.

No need to waste any more gossip chances.

She casually checked her clear-headed time. After watching the dirt on Ming Jingrong and Yan Yanhua earlier, she still had 48 hours left—plenty of time, so no rush to dig into anything new yet.

She opened the current Popularity Room to see which guests would be showing up in the next episode.

Now that the show had lost two guests, there were two new open slots.

Competition in the Popularity Room was still intense—the top three were neck and neck in vote counts.

Yu Qianxia wasn't familiar with any of the three. She glanced at them, then closed the Pineapple app.

She took a day to rest in H City. After that, Sister Rong came to pick her up.

The filming location for the fifth episode was in C City. C City was a southern city with mild weather and beautiful scenery, but the place the production team picked was a small village in a county-level area—not even within the city itself.

It was super remote. After landing in C City by plane from H City, they had to transfer to a long-distance bus and bounce through several stops before finally arriving at the destination.

Xiao Ke tagged along the whole way, tired and sleepy, whining the entire time about how exhausted she was. But seeing that Yu Qianxia didn't complain once, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly: Being a celebrity really isn't something just anyone can handle.

When they arrived at Fenghuang Village, Yu Qianxia pulled her suitcase and got off the car.

From a distance, she saw the show staff gathered at the village entrance.

Director Qian greeted her with a big smile. "Qianxia's here! You're the first one today—welcome, welcome!"

Yu Qianxia nodded slightly at him. "Hello, Director Qian."

Just as they finished exchanging greetings, two familiar figures walked over not far away—Si Churao and Ji Minghan, both waving enthusiastically.

Yu Qianxia smiled. "You guys are here."

Si Churao gave her a hug. "I missed you, Qianxia! It's only been a few days."

Yu Qianxia couldn't handle her cheesiness. "Oh, come on. We were literally chatting just last night."

Si Churao kept up the cringe. "It's just not the same as seeing you in person."

They were still joking around when Ye Yanshuang came over, dragging her pink suitcase.

She wore a mint-green crop top and black shorts—cute and lively. She waved and greeted everyone with a cheerful smile, "Hi, Sister Yu, Sister Churao, Brother Ji."

Ji Minghan looked like he'd seen a ghost. "Whoa, are you seriously Ye Yanshuang?"

Ye Yanshuang gave a shy smile, looking a little embarrassed as she scratched her head. "Yep, I'm Ye Yanshuang."

She paused, then added, "Sorry... this is actually the real me."

Ji Minghan gave her a big thumbs-up. "Damn, your acting is next level—I couldn't tell at all that this was your real personality!"
