Ma’am You Have Been Uncovered

Chapter 362: Top Three of the Hot Search Exploded, Angry Sister Ran

The Jiang Corporation had invested a lot of money into this variety show.

So much so that the program group could film extravagantly from the first to last episode, and could even book the entire town.

Forget it if they were just rich and imposing. The crew now had Qin Xiuchen, Jing Wen, and even Yan Xi, so the director wasn’t worried about getting sponsors.

The main problem was…

The Jiang Corporation wasn’t just a matter of money. Given the Jiang Corporation’s current weight in Beijing, one word from President Jiang would block this program from China’s entire network.

Bai Tiantian’s value to the Jiang Corporation was obvious through their huge investment and efforts to forge a relationship with the production group.

Now, even the big boss was coming personally.

Holding a beer, the director’s eyebrows were tensed. Not to mention Film Emperor Qin and Yan Xi who were heavyweights in the entertainment industry, they would really be put in a spot if they had to deliberately delete Qin Ran’s screen time. He himself couldn’t bear to delete her shots as he had a gut feeling that… if he missed this chance, he would never have a chance to shoot her again!

“How’s the situation with Bai Tiantian?” Originally carefree, the assistant director squeezed the beer can involuntarily upon hearing this and stood up. “Aren’t the Jiang Corporation’s people going overboard? It’s only the first two episodes, and we’ve already created opportunities for Bai Tiantian according to the script. She couldn’t grasp it herself, what does it have to do with Qin Ran?! There are ten more episodes, isn’t it enough for her to set her character?!”

The director glanced faintly at him. “With Qin Ran in front, even if there are 100 episodes behind, Bai Tiantian won’t be able to shoot to fame.”

Forget it if her character collided with Qin Ran’s, but she was dumped hundreds of streets behind her as well.

Furthermore, as if she had seen through the character set-up for Bai Tiantian, Qin Ran neither went to the targets set by the program group nor the physical strongholds… and only went to those designated for Bai Tiantian…

If it weren’t for the script, the director team would think that Qin Ran was deliberately going against Bai Tiantian.

After all—

How dare she set up dominance in front of a Beijing University school tyrant?

How dare she show off her technical skills in front of a 20-star player?

…

Was she crazy?!

It was precisely because of this that the director was worried the Jiang Corporation wanted to delete Qin Ran’s shots.

The biggest purpose of this show from the beginning was to set up a character for Bai Tiantian.

This computer bug Qin Ran was flying in the face of the production crew.

“What did Bai Tiantian’s manager say?” The assistant director already understood the main concern.

The director shook his head, his eyes darkening. “I talked to him just now, and he told me to delete the footage of the Physics question. Also… he doesn’t seem to like Tian Xiaoxiao very much.”

The entertainment industry was such a thing.

The director was reluctant to delete Qin Ran’s shot, and Tian Xiaoxiao had also been brilliant, but it wasn’t impossible to delete the shots.

Since Bai Tiantian’s manager had been so blunt, the director was already discussing cutting Tian Xiaoxiao’s shots.

“I’ll talk to Tian Xiaoxiao and the others later.” Knocking on the table, he thought for a while and pursed his lips. “She won’t have to record tomorrow anymore.”

He hoped to exchange her scenes for Qin Ran’s.

They glanced at each other, planned overnight to save more of Qin Ran’s footage when the boss came and didn’t even eat dinner…

**

In Bai Tiantian’s room.

She had embarrassed herself several times over the past two days because of Qin Ran’s arrival. Since her debut, she had been in Lady Luck’s favor and had come to this show. Jing Wen also treated her kindly and even followed her on Weibo.

The production crew also took great care of her.

Before yesterday, she thought she would shoot to fame.

That was until Qin Ran’s arrival…

The character set for her had completely collapsed in front of Qin Ran, and she had embarrassed herself several times as well. She finally found a chance to showcase her character today, but Qin Ran’s impact had stolen the limelight.

She was like a circus clown.

Her manager and assistant knocked on the door before closing it. “Tiantian, let me tell you two pieces of good news.”

Bai Tiantian was scrolling through Weibo at this time. “What?”

“The first good news, the director told me that because of the program group’s negligence, the Physics problem was wrong, so they’ve decided to delete the scene.” Her manager sat down opposite her and smiled.

Bai Tiantian looked up, pleasantly surprised. “What about the second piece of good news?”

“Qin Ling’s foot suddenly healed, so Qin Ran won’t be coming tomorrow onwards.” The manager lowered his voice and excitedly said, “I already told you, Lady Luck is shining on you. Otherwise, how could Qin Ling’s foot have recovered in two days? Did you see his foot that day? It was so swollen. It doesn’t make sense to have healed in just two days.”

After getting rid of Tian Xiaoxiao, the manager’s path had become extremely smooth. He felt like terminating the contract with her was the best decision he had made in his life.

Without Tian Xiaoxiao, his team rose by more than one level in a short period of time.

And Sister Wen, who used to have a little bit of capital, had plummeted because of Tian Xiaoxiao. It seemed that she couldn’t even pay her rent now and was looking for cheap rent.

Bai Tiantian heaved a sigh of relief.

She lowered her head. “But… Tian Xiaoxiao…”

Seeing her like this, the manager looked down at her phone as well. The hot search page on Weibo was displayed—

Top three hot searches had exploded—

[Qin Xiuchen and Yan Xi followed each other]

[Qin Xiuchen and Yan Xi both followed Tian Xiaoxiao]

[Tian Xiaoxiao]

Qin Xiuchen followed many people, so it wasn’t very surprising.

The main focus was on Yan Xi, the anomaly in the entertainment industry. He only followed ten people on Weibo, and now, he suddenly followed two more people. One of them was even Qin Xiuchen, so the netizens immediately went crazy.

They flocked to Qin Xiuchen and Tian Xiaoxiao’s Weibos and bumped them onto the hot search.

Tian Xiaoxiao’s Weibo increased by two million fans in one afternoon.

The first 230,000 comments on Weibo on the homepage were asking who this young lady was.

Bai Tiantian only had 10,000 comments on her Weibo at most and felt involuntarily jealous of Tian Xiaoxiao.

“It’s okay.” The manager glanced at her indifferently. “Tiantian, don’t worry. She has a problem and will lose her popularity in a day or two. This is only temporary, but you’re different from her.”

Bai Tiantian now believed in Lady Luck being on her side and felt a little relieved upon hearing his words.

Unlike the situation in Bai Tiantian’s room, Tian Xiaoxiao’s room was somewhat silent.

Tian Xiaoxiao was packing her things.

“Bai Tiantian has someone supporting her.” Sister Wen was sitting on a chair with a cigarette in her hand. “I was told by the staff just now that the director even cut Qin Ran’s scenes.”

Tian Xiaoxiao pursed her lips. When she heard that she was asked to leave the show, she hadn’t shown any disappointment, mainly because she was used to her role as a side cast.

But she couldn’t bear it any longer when she heard about Qin Ran.

“Ran Ran’s footage has been deleted as well?” She threw her bag onto the table, unable to conceal her anger. “Why? Isn’t she Film Emperor Qin’s niece?! The director team dares to delete her scene?”

Qin Ran had garnered enough fans in the production crew these two days. Some of them had sympathized with Tian Xiaoxiao and Qin Ran and had hence informed Sister Wen of the truth.

“It’s very simple logic. People are covering for Bai Tiantian. Even Film Emperor Qin can’t offend that person.” Sister Wen spat out a smoke ring.

Pursing her lips tightly, Tian Xiaoxiao started packing quickly, feeling very guilty. “She was fine yesterday. Was it because of my arrival? I didn’t expect to affect her. Sister Wen, let’s leave quickly.

“I should have listened to you from the beginning and not come here.” Tian Xiaoxiao regretted it. “Sister Wen, I think my former manager is right. I’ve rotten luck. Let’s terminate our contract when we return to Beijing.”

She didn’t have many things, but Qin Ran had left plenty of stuff for her.

Tian Xiaoxiao stuffed all the luggage into her own suitcase.

They weren’t big shots and left the hotel without wearing masks.

When passing by the town entrance, Tian Xiaoxiao saw the small building where Qin Ran was staying and directly left. She didn’t dare to say goodbye to her. The moment they met, the production crew wanted to delete her footage. She was afraid that if they met again, all of her scenes would be deleted.

At the same time.

In the small building.

Qin Ran was eating with Cheng Mu and Cheng Juan.

Tonight’s dinner was scrumptious. Qin Ran glanced at the boiled meat placed in front of her.

When Cheng Juan’s phone lit up, he took it, glanced at it, and put down his chopsticks. “Hey, your friend left,” he slowly said.

“Who?” Qin Ran picked up a piece of boiled meat without looking up.

“The one who plays the violin.” Cheng Juan calmly looked at her. “The one who was driven away by the production crew. She’s at the town entrance now.”

Pausing, she looked up at him with narrowed eyes. “Tian Xiaoxiao?”

His phone rang again, and he looked down at it. “Oh, the car has been stopped.”
