Chapter 88 The Funny Female Shi Shi

"Lying about your age," she said, then winked playfully.

The audience in the studio burst into laughter.

Bai Jing laughed out loud, and the two chatted for a while about her creative inspiration and funny stories from the past. Zuo Min interjected, acting as a straight man and bringing up topics.

The atmosphere was warm and harmonious for a moment.

Bai Jing: "Shi Shi is on our show, which is a treat for our viewers. We're bringing you a new song by Shi Shi!"

This is a regular segment of the show; halfway through the program, the interviewed guests are asked to showcase their professional skills to demonstrate that their strengths are genuine.

Since she chose to participate in the show, Shi Shi wanted to maximize her faith value.

At that moment, a beam of light shone on the far left side of the studio, with a standing microphone in the center. Shi Shi walked over and grasped the microphone.

"I learned about this program before I came. I know that Sister Bai Jing has done a lot of work to give women a voice. I am very honored to be invited to participate. I hope that every girl can retain her persistence in pursuing her dreams and upholding her self-worth. Even when facing difficulties and doubts, she should stick to herself and never give up. I will bring you a song called 'Stubborn'."

When I am different from the world

Then let me be different.

Persistence is what I...

It is to overcome strength with strength.

If I compromise with myself

If you lie to yourself

Even if others forgive

I cannot forgive.

The most beautiful wish

It must be the craziest

I am my own god.

Where I live

...

...

...

...

Me and my proud stubbornness

I sang loudly in the wind.

This time, I'm going crazy for myself.

Just this once, with my stubbornness.

It's clearly meant to encourage people in adversity, yet it not only brings tears to your eyes but also feels like a fire has been lit in your chest, making you feel warm all over.

The audience in front of the television reacted enthusiastically. Young girls' eyes sparkled with excitement at the catchy lyrics and beautiful melody. They hummed along softly to the second verse, as if drawing boundless energy from the song.

The happiest person at this moment was Bai Jing, because songs that are broadcast on television must be reported, so she had certainly heard this song before. But the reaction at the scene far exceeded her expectations.

As everyone knows, most of the audience members in the studio are seasoned veterans. They've seen countless live performances. Although they'll applaud and laugh along, only they know how much of it is genuine.

Listen to the applause and the singing from the audience. She managed to get this group so engaged. It seems her show is going to be a hit.

When the song ended, Shishi took the water that Zuo Min handed her and sat down on the sofa.

Bai Jing: "Thank you, Shishi, for such a wonderful performance today."

The conversation continued, and now that we were in the latter half of the recording, it was time to ask some provocative questions.

"Shi Shi, have you seen the online comments about you? There are many people with mixed opinions about you. Is there anything you'd like to say to everyone?"

"If one person dislikes me, it might be her problem. But if a group of people dislike me, then they might have conspired together. To that, I want to say to everyone: If many people dislike me, who do you think you are?"

Bai Jing: "I never expected you to be like this, Shi Shi." This really gave her a big surprise!

You thought she was a beauty, but she's actually a talented woman. You thought she was a talented woman, but she's actually a comedian! You'd never guess! La la la la.

"When you see online opinions, do you get angry?"

"When you are provoked, you must calm down. This doesn't mean you should forgive the other person, but that you should calm down so you can hit them more accurately." Just as the audience below the stage was laughing, she suddenly remembered a quote from Leo Tolstoy before she traveled through time.

She straightened her expression and continued, "Don't try to make everyone know you; it makes you seem cheap. Also, a friendly reminder: hitting someone is illegal."

Since Shishi had skillfully resolved all these issues, Bai Jing decided to increase the intensity.

"I understand that you didn't work for the first few years after your marriage, and only started working after your divorce. So what are your thoughts on being a housewife?"

There's a limit to humor. If there are too many jokes, people won't be able to tell the difference, and then it becomes a joke, not a joke. Shishi knew that this was a question that needed a serious answer.

She composed herself and slowly said, "Humans are social animals. I'd like to start by asking a question: how many women can maintain a stable social life without working?"

After a few seconds of pause, she looked at the audience and saw that they were all shaking their heads: "Very few, right? Rather than being a housewife, it's more like a job that isolates you from the outside world. It's just that your salary isn't paid monthly. In exchange, you get family stability. But there are too many factors that can affect family stability. In my opinion, it's a job with a lot of gambling."

Bai Jing nodded in agreement: "Not going to work, not doing any jobs. Staying at home all day. It seems like you have all the time to yourself. But that's not actually the case."

"Yes, I think all women should not let family trivialities hold them back within their capabilities. When you go out and discover how vast the world is, those trivialities that once embarrassed you will become insignificant."

This resounding answer was undoubtedly the highlight of Shi Shi's entire performance.

The harmonious scene was interrupted by Zuo Min's statement: "Many of the comments about you online are negative. Netizens say you are a vampire. During your marriage, you lived a carefree life as a wealthy wife. After the divorce, you gained fame by relying on your ex-boyfriend, releasing one song after another. This is also why people question the authenticity of your past love. After all, you never wrote a single song for him."

That's true. Even the song "As You Wish," which they sang together, is copyrighted by Shi Shi. Fu Zhixu doesn't even have the right to perform it.

They had clearly agreed not to mention Fu Zhixu. Shishi sensed something was amiss and looked at Bai Jing. From an angle out of the camera's view, Bai Jing's eyes were also full of surprise.

Where did this Zuo Min's hostility come from?!

Clearly, she underestimated Shi Shi. Before transmigrating, she was a writer. However, she'd always argued with people online. This was her first time arguing in person, and she was quite excited!

She looked quietly at Zuo Min: "Your myriad interpretations and understandings of me don't constitute even a fraction of who I am, but they reveal everything about you." That calm gaze seemed to penetrate Zuo Min's heart through her eyes. Zuo Min felt a sudden, inexplicable unease under her gaze.

The tense atmosphere lasted only a second.

Shishi suddenly laughed: "I wasn't talking about you. Don't misunderstand, I was referring to those netizens you mentioned."
