However, Murong Qiao was more concerned about Tang Huai and Xian Yu playing games just now.

“Yesterday, Tang Huai said that you mentioned me to him often?” she asked.

Murong Qiao still remembered what Tang Huai had told her at the auction last night.

“I-I don’t think it’s often.” Xian Yu coughed lightly.

With such a cute, obedient, and very powerful Little Sister, coupled with the fact that Xian Yu played games with Tang Huai from time to time, showing off was something that he subconsciously blurted out.

“I only showed off once.” Xian Yu gestured. When he said this, he didn’t look guilty at all.

Just a hundred million times.

Murong Qiao didn’t care too much. She finished the breakfast in her hand first and looked at the television that was playing.

The television was broadcasting an advertis.e.m.e.nt now. It was probably released because Xian Yu found it too quiet when he was playing games just now.

Murong Qiao took a casual look and her gaze suddenly fixed on the screen.

“Coming up next is…”

Murong Qiao’s heart skipped a beat when she saw the photo of the romance variety show she partic.i.p.ated in appear on the screen along with the voices.

“Qiaoqiao, let me tell you—” Xian Yu turned around at this moment.

Murong Qiao quickly picked up the remote control and changed the channel. The entire operation was done in one go.

Xian Yu looked at his Little Sister’s hurried movements in confusion and then at the remote control in her hand. “Qiaoqiao? Is something wrong?”

Seeing that Xian Yu probably didn’t see the introduction of the show just now, Murong Qiao heaved a sigh of relief.

It was good that he didn’t see it. At the thought of her and Huo Yichen openly dating on Love Synthesis and the director editing the sweet scenes, Murong Qiao immediately felt her toes touch the ground.

Especially since Huo Yichen had fought with Big Brother Murong Chen last night. If Big Brother found out…

That scene would probably be very beautiful.

Fortunately, Xian Yu didn’t pay much attention to it. Seeing that his Little Sister wanted to watch television, he let her.

However, Xian Yu suddenly forgot what he wanted to say.

Murong Qiao put the remote control aside guiltily and turned around to return to her room to rest.

Unfortunately, leisure time was always especially short. It was not easy for Murong Qiao to return to the Murong residence, but she had to rush to the Love Synthesis set the next day.

Although she was a boss, she also had the awareness of being a guest, so she didn’t put on airs and arrive late.

After interacting with each other for the first episode, everyone was no longer as distant and cold as before. Now, they were gathered together and talking and laughing before the second episode started filming.

“Let me tell you, I’ve been eating a lot of melons in the entertainment industry recently…” Zuo Qing leaned close to Ain and shared what she had seen and heard recently.

Ain replied without saying a word, but her expression looked gentle. She no longer had the intention to keep people away from her.

Lu Ruman was also sitting beside the two of them, interrupting from time to time.

“You’re here! The director was looking for you just now.” Zuo Qing was the first to notice Murong Qiao. When she saw her walking over, she hurriedly waved her hand happily.

Murong Qiao pulled a chair and sat beside the three of them. “I thought I came very early. I didn’t expect to be the last.”

“Did they tell us the theme of this shoot?” she asked.

There was a theme for every episode. Murong Qiao came in a hurry, so she didn’t notice this.

Ain nodded and took out a photo from her bag. She handed it to Murong Qiao and gestured for her to take a look.

The angle of the photo was very beautiful. From afar, the entire temple was captured in this photo. The panorama on the front made one yearn for it.

“A temple?” Murong Qiao raised her eyebrows.

She recalled that she had previously said that she wanted to go with Huo Yichen to take a look. She didn’t expect the production team to have the same thoughts as her.

“Yes.” Ain nodded. “We’re going to the temple for the second episode, but the director said that we’ll talk about it after the show starts filming.”

At that time, when they went to ask Director Yuan Qing, the other party deliberately didn’t finish speaking with a mysterious expression.

Zuo Qing added from the side, “I think Director Yuan Qing definitely doesn’t have any good intentions.”

“Huh? Why did I hear someone badmouthing me from afar?” Yuan Qing appeared beside everyone at this moment.

He was here to look for Murong Qiao. When he found out that the other party had come to the filming location, he walked over and happened to hear Zuo Qing’s evaluation of him.

“How… how can that be!” Zuo Qing met Director Yuan Qing’s gaze and was instantly in an uncomfortable situation. “Director, you must have heard wrongly!”

“Alright, alright, alright. Young Miss Murong, are you free?” Yuan Qing didn’t argue with her.

These words were only half-joking. He was not so petty as to really argue with a little girl like Zuo Qing.

Seeing Yuan Qing come to look for him, Murong Qiao stood up. “Of course I’m free.”

Watching Murong Qiao and Director Yuan Qing walk away, Lu Ruman finally found an opportunity to speak.

“Why do I feel that the director is very respectful to Young Miss Murong?” Lu Ruman said in a joking tone.

Ain glanced at her and didn’t say anything, but Zuo Qing nodded.

“It’s normal. She’s a boss, so she definitely won’t be like us.” Zuo Qing didn’t think much of it.

After Zuo Qing finished speaking, she turned to Ain. “Did you take the photo of that temple just now? This is the first time I’ve seen your work. It’s so beautiful…”

Zuo Qing was very interested in Ain’s photography work. For a moment, Lu Ruman seemed to have been ignored by the two of them and couldn’t interrupt at all. She was extremely embarra.s.sed.

There was always more humidity in the south, and the weather was sometimes variable. It didn’t follow the forecast at all. While everyone was talking and waiting to start filming, a misty rain began to fall from the sky.

A typical water village of a small town coupled with a little misty rain gave off the atmosphere of a period television drama, causing one’s heart to settle down and return to peace.

Due to the weather, they were afraid that something would happen again. After confirming that everyone was here, they started filming.

“Welcome to the second episode, everyone. Let’s cut to the chase.” Yuan Qing raised his loudspeaker and shouted.

“The theme of our activity today is to go to the Foshan Temple in the town to climb the mountain and pray.”

He directly brought up the main topic. “But how to go up and down the mountain, whether you walk or take the cable car, is up to you.”

“Then we’ll definitely take the cable car,” Zuo Qing said without hesitation.

Who would do something so tiring as trekking up the mountain? There was a cable car for this purpose.

Yuan Qing was waiting for someone to say this, so he added the second half. “The rule is that you’re not allowed to use your own money.”

“From now on, everyone is an ordinary person without a penny. If you want to go up the mountain to pray for blessings, you have to rely on your own efforts.” “I also hope that everyone will abide by the rules and not cheat,” Yuan Qing coughed and said seriously. “Otherwise, you will be severely punished.”

Lu Ruman, who was just thinking that she could secretly cheat, hurriedly smiled after Yuan Qing hit the nail on the head.

“A penniless person?” Murong Qiao chuckled.

She found this rule quite interesting. Instead, she glanced at Huo Yichen, who was standing beside her, and raised her eyebrows with interest.

Huo Yichen felt her gaze and turned to look at Murong Qiao. “Huh?”

“A penniless President?” Murong Qiao mouthed softly.

Thinking of how the man clearly owned the entire Huo Corporation, but he didn’t have a single cent on the show, many interesting scenes had already begun to appear in Murong Qiao’s mind..
