Chapter 89 Attempt to Steal a Chicken Backfires

Zuo Min's palms were already sweating profusely. She maintained a forced composure. Having come this far, she couldn't back down.

"You mind mentioning him in public, right?" Zuo Min asked, seemingly considerately.

You know that already? Why are you asking? Which gate wasn't locked properly, and you were let out?

"No, not really. But..."

Before she could finish speaking, Zuo Min continued, "Was your breakup caused by social factors?"

She spoke so quickly that Bai Jing didn't even have time to interrupt her.

Shi Shi calmly looked at the camera, not even glancing at Zuo Min: "I'm here on Bai Jing's show for an interview, so you have to ask the questions, representing the audience's curiosity and desire to know. That's reasonable, but for me, I'm the person involved. This chapter is over. Especially since she has to work, any discussion is not appropriate."

Unlike the sharpness of the previous question, Shi Shi answered this one with exceptional gentleness, as if enveloped in a saintly glow.

Once here, Bai Jing was no longer nervous. She looked at Zuo Min, who had gotten herself into this mess. Ha, what an idiot. She attacked without even understanding the situation? All her attacks just provided fodder for Zuo Min's misfortune. Since she'd already gotten the attention, she might as well play the good guy in the end.

Zuo Min calmly continued, "Isn't it a pity that such a passionate love has ended?"

At this point, viewers in front of their televisions also sensed something was wrong. Taozi's father looked at his daughter: "What's wrong with this host? Didn't he say he didn't want to talk about it?"

Tao Ying said uncertainly, "Could it be for the sake of the show?" Tao's mother came over after washing the dishes and said, "This female host is on the show for the first time. She's probably trying to steal the spotlight from the guests!"

Fu Yingzhou, watching on television, was unusually nervous. He didn't want to admit it, but his age was a factor. No matter how many surprises or romantic atmospheres he tried to create, he could never recapture the energy and passion of his predecessor.

His anxiety abruptly stopped the moment Shi Shi opened her mouth.

"Everyone looks beautiful standing under the cherry blossom tree, and my love is passionate for everyone."

What should I do? The more I learn about her, the deeper my love will become.

Left with no other option, Zuo Min had to resort to her trump card as the program was nearing its end.

"It's time to say goodbye to today's program. Shi Shi has also brought us a special gift."

Realizing she was about to stir things up, Bai Jing quickly took over the conversation: "Yes, the gifts will be shown on the show's official WeChat account later. Please follow us."

Zuo Min was clearly crazier than they had imagined. Ignoring Bai Jing's threatening look, she boldly spoke up: "As everyone knows, Shi Shi is a very talented songwriter. Today she's bringing a new song, specially written for the women watching on television..."

"Want to hear some great music? Let's take a quick break for a commercial break! Follow [Bai Jing's Living Room] for an even more exciting ending!"

The backstage staff noticed something was wrong when Zuo Min started acting up! Bai Jing had barely finished speaking when she played the ending commercial ahead of schedule.

"You want to be famous, I don't care. But how dare you embarrass my show? Who gave you the guts?" Time was short, and she only said this to vent her anger. She didn't want to hear any explanation from the other party.

She turned to Shi Shi and asked, "How about we sing your song 'The You of the Past'? It'll be a new song."

Shi Shi shook her head: "That song doesn't count as an inspirational song for women."

"There are still three minutes left on the commercial break, so what are you going to rap?"

"Three minutes is enough. Get me a guitar."

Seeing that Bai Jing nodded, the assistant director on the side of the stage quickly went to borrow a guitar.

"You actually have a song? Time is too tight, we can't ask the band to help you."

Zuo Min had already been "asked to leave." After the commercial ended, only Bai Jing remained in front of the screen.

Shi Shi was already testing the guitar. Seeing her give an "OK" sign, Bai Jing breathed a sigh of relief: "Let's end today's program with Shi Shi's singing. See you next time!"

The camera pans to Shi Shi, who is holding a guitar and a microphone. She says softly, "I'm bringing you a song called 'Don't Be Afraid, Even After the Sun Sets, There's Still Moonlight,' hoping to give some strength to everyone who is in the darkness."

"Perhaps you are in darkness."

I can hardly remember my original dream.

He lowered his head, his hands empty.

A sense of loss and heartache

Everyone in the world has a different blooming season.

You will also encounter beauty.

Open your arms to welcome the wind.

You will definitely be better, braver, and more composed then.

Just as everyone was immersed in the gentle feeling this song brought, the song reached its climax!

Don't be confused, don't panic.

Even after the sun sets, there is still moonlight.

It will illuminate the path of life.

I'll go with you to the places you want to go.

Don't hesitate, don't be discouraged.

Even when the moon sleeps, the sun still rises.

Look up and the sky will surely brighten.

The person you love will be by your side as you wish.

As the program ended, Fu Yingzhou, watching on television, wore a kind, fatherly expression. His face practically screamed, "My Shi Shi is the best!"

Even Tao's father, who has always disapproved of his daughter's idol worship, looked at her with relief and said, "That's more like it. If you're going to learn something, learn something good!"

Tao Ying looked utterly captivated: "Dad, don't you think she's really cool too!"

Tao's mother said, "That's cool. Being cool didn't stop him from getting into Peking University. Your idol is so great. With your score, you'll be embarrassed to say you're a fan of his in the future."

Tao Ying felt embarrassed by her mother's words and quickly went back to do her homework.

Tao's father glanced at his daughter's closed bedroom door. He turned back to his wife and gave her a thumbs-up: "It's always you!"

"This family is falling apart without my mother!"

... ...

... ...

The atmosphere in Bai Jing's office was not so harmonious.

"We're quite sorry about what happened today. We'll give you an explanation."

It's impossible for her to suffer a loss, and it's not good to be aggressive. Let's wait until we've investigated Zuo Min's matter before making any decisions. That doesn't stop her from collecting some interest first.

"Teacher Shen's concert was held shortly after the centenary celebration of the founding of the People's Liberation Army."

Bai Jing understood immediately, though she found Shen Jingyuan's attitude somewhat strange, but it was none of her business.

"Many of my friends are fans of Teacher Shen. They are extremely excited about this concert!"

Shi Shi was somewhat appeased. She left first and went home. But Bai Jing couldn't leave work! She still had to clean up the mess.

Zuo Min felt a sense of despair. All the pitfalls she'd encountered tonight had been filled in, turning into a high platform. She had just watched helplessly as Shi Shi climbed up! She had originally hoped that if things went well, she could even get some benefits from Wei Qi. It seemed like that was all for naught!

"Speak, who ordered it?"

Zuo Min stared blankly at her fingers: "I'm a fan of Fu Zhixu. I'm just standing up for my idol."

Bai Jing was clearly amused and annoyed: "How much effort did you put in to get a permanent position? Chasing after celebrities? You're lying!"

"Everything I said is true, say what you will." She sat there with an air of indifference, like a slippery fish.
