Chapter 27

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

From time to time, netizens would look at the official Weibo of “Love Warning” to see if Shi Ran had been kicked out of the program.

By eight o’clock that evening, “Love Warning” had unexpectedly posted something.

Everyone clicked on it excitedly, ready to celebrate.

Unexpectedly, when one opened it, there was a photo of the show.

[F*ck!!!]

[Who wants to see these crappy scenery pictures? We want to see Shi Ran get kicked out.]

[Did Shi Ran find a powerful sugar daddy? Even now she’s not kicked out?!]

[What is the production team thinking? Do they really think that us viewers are not important?]

[We’re not going to wait for them. Whoever wants to watch it can watch it. ‘Love Warning’ is on my blacklist now.]

[You don’t really think that Shi Ran will bring you any publicity, do you? You don’t, right?]

When Shi Wenfei saw the news from the production team, her expression darkened. “Sister Chen, what’s going on?”

“I got someone to find out. I don’t know what the production team said to Best Actor Bai, but they have no objections now,” Sister Chen said through gritted teeth.

“Could it be that Shi Ran has really found a powerful sugar daddy to back her?” Shi Wenfei frowned.

“Didn’t Young Master Zhou say that it’s very likely that Shi Ran got close to the higher-ups of the KT Group? The investor this time happens to be the KT Group, so she might have been saved because of this.”

“Who on earth could shake an investment project like this?” Shi Wenfei narrowed her eyes.

“It doesn’t matter if she leaves or stays now. She doesn’t know anything anyway so you will have every minute on the show to crush her.”

“And I heard that this time’s ‘Love Warning’ is based on elimination style. It would be easy to eliminate her.”

The agent reassured her, and Shi Wenfei immediately felt better. “That’s true. What does she have to compare with me?”

Shi Ran was just a piece of garbage. Why should she care?

… .

Ji Wenfeng heaved a sigh of relief when he received the news.

‘We have successfully retained your place on the show.’

Shi Ran raised her eyebrows in surprise.

Bai Jingtian had already put pressure on the production team, but they still asked her to stay?

“I heard it was a decision made by the investors,” Ji Wenfeng said ambiguously.

‘Chu Jinchen?’

Shi Ran immediately thought of this man.

She spun the phone in her hand and thought for a while before opening Chu Jinchen’s chat box.

[Shi Ran]: Thank you for this. I’ll treat you to a meal.

At that moment, Chu Jinchen was in a meeting. His phone buzzed, but he didn’t care.

It was until the meeting was over when he saw the message.

[Chu Jinchen]: If you really want to thank me, you can consider marrying me.

[Shi Ran]: I will convince Qi Le.

Chu Jinchen stopped in his tracks, and the secretary behind him quickly stopped as well.

The Third Young Master, who usually kept a straight face, was smiling dangerously.

He took a few silent steps back and rubbed his arms.

He wondered who had offended Third Young Master.

Chu Jinchen tapped on his phone a few times.

[Chu Jinchen]: I’ll pick you up.

Chu Jinchen returned to his office. He picked up his suit and walked out, but stopped when he passed the dressing mirror.

‘Is it too rigid to wear a suit?’

Thinking about this, Chu Jinchen walked to the break room, took out a set of casual clothes from the closet, and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

When he went out again, he had changed into his casual clothes.

The secretary followed him out.

As the driver was on leave that day, he had to take on the role of the driver.

He then drove Third Young Master to an apartment.

The secretary glanced out of the car window several times.

They were at an apartment in the downtown area where third Young Master didn’t own any property here.

‘So he was expecting someone?’

It wasn’t long before the secretary became aware of the rear passenger door being opened.

He looked through the rearview mirror and was instantly petrified when he saw Shi Ran’s bare face.

Shi Ran?!

‘Isn’t she the center of today’s scandal?’

‘So Master Three and Shi Ran knew each other?’

Then today, when Third Young Master said that he wanted her to stay to boost the show’s popularity, was it true or…

Pretending to be fair while secretly being biased?!

“Thank you for today.”

Hearing those words from Shi Ran, the secretary confirmed his suspicions.

“Is the rumor true?” Chu Jinchen tapped his thigh with his fingertips and asked directly.

“It’s true.”

Chu Jinchen’s smile gradually turned dangerous. Then, he sneered, “Your taste is really bad.”

“Of course, he can’t be compared to you,” came the smooth reply.

After all, the other party had helped her. It’s never wrong to say a few good words.

Chu Jinchen smiled happily.

The secretary felt like he was the third wheel the entire time.

Even after they had returned to the office after dinner, the secretary still felt confused.

Somehow the memory of that day’s hickey came to him.

‘So Third Young Master and Shi Ran knew each other?’

But if they were really together, why would Third Young Master let Shi Ran participate in the romance variety show?

Still feeling puzzled, the secretary was called for in the next second.

After receiving his instructions, the secretary did not leave immediately. Instead, he probed, “Third Young Master, do you need to remind the production team to give Miss Shi more screen time?”

“No need.” Chu Jinchen’s expression was indifferent.

“This program is using an elimination system. Given Miss Shi’s current situation, it’s very likely that she’ll be—”

“Are you very free right now?” Chu Jinchen interrupted the secretary. “Then organize the company’s development trends for the past ten years into documents and send them to my email by tomorrow morning.”

The secretary was speechless.

‘What situation is this?’

Third Young Master did not look like he liked Miss Shi at all.

Had he misunderstood him?

“Love Warning” was to be recorded in a villa located in City A.

Ji Wenfeng called Shi Ran to his office the day before the recording.

As soon as she entered, she saw that there were three people in the office besides Ji Wenfeng.

“These are the assistants I picked out for you. Stay and see who you like.”

Shi Ran’s gaze swept across the three of them, only to meet a pair of excited eyes.

“It’s… it’s you!” The doll-faced girl flushed with excitement.

Shi Ran had recognised her too.

She was the girl who had been bullied by Liu Feifei.

In the end, the baby-faced girl was chosen to be her assistant and she introduced herself.

—Fang Tongtong.

“I… Have I really become Sister Ran’s assistant?” Fang Tongtong was so excited that she was at a loss for words.

“I’ve already sent you the list of things you should take note of and your upcoming work projects,” Ji Wenfeng said.

Ji Wenfeng had always shown a serious, business-man attitude when with others.

“We need to reach City A by tomorrow to record for the show so we’re leaving tonight. You’ll have to tag along.”

Fang Tongtong nodded obediently. “Okay, Brother Feng!”

That night, the three of them arrived at the hotel in City A.

The production crew knocked on the door to inform them that filming would begin at ten the next morning.

Fang Tongtong noted.

The staff left, then knocked on Shi Wenfei’s room again.

‘I have done as you asked.’

The manager smiled in satisfaction. “The money will be in your account later.”

She returned to her room just as Shi Wenfei came out of the shower.

“I’ve already informed Shi Ran.”

Shi Wenfei sat in front of the dressing table and smiled as she said, “Being late on the first day of filming. Hahaha. Remember to print this piece of news on notices and distribute them.”

“Don’t worry.” The agent made an ‘ok’ gesture.

The next morning, 8:30 A.M, set of Love Warning

The program team had already set up their cameras and started filming.

A white car approached slowly.
