Shi Wenfei got out of the car.

She was dressed in a white dress and looked very pure.

The camera even zoomed in and gave her extra camera time.

She stood obediently at the door with her suitcase, and then another person appeared on camera.

Shi Wenfei looked at the approaching man and tried to maintain her expression.

“CEO Zhou,” Shi Wenfei greeted him playfully.

Zhou Yufan chuckled. He didn’t say anything, but he showed a loving and doting smile.

After that, everyone arrived one after another. It was almost nine o’clock, but there was still one person who did not arrive.

“Not everyone’s here yet. Who’s missing…” Shi Wenfei looked around with a worried expression. “So my Sister isn’t here yet.”

“Didn’t the program team say they’d be recording at nine?” Gu Jia glanced at her watch. “It’s ten past nine.”

“My sister must be dealing with something. Maybe she slept late,” Shi Wenfei said with a smile.

“I even saw her go for breakfast this morning,” Yu Ziqian said casually.

Zuo Yifei looked at the scorching sun outside and suggested, “Why don’t we go in first?”

“Director Wang, I’ll get someone to ask,” the staff said.

“No need to ask.” Director Wang waved his hand and smiled mysteriously. “It’s better to be late.”

Everyone returned to the living room after touring the villa. They chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere was quite good.

“Turn on the live broadcast,” Director Wang instructed.

[?? The live broadcast was turned on without any warning??]

[Feifei, Mommy is here to see you ~]

[Brother Tian, Brother Tian, I see Brother Tian! So handsome, I want to lick the screen.]

[Feifei is so beautiful today. What a benefit for those who are obsessed with good looks.]

[I don’t want to watch this show when I think about how a certain rat shit will be around sometimes.]

[Why isn’t Shi Ran there? Was she kicked out? Let’s celebrate!! The production team is mighty!]

Shi Wenfei saw the staff’s actions from the corner of her eye and knew that the live broadcast had been turned on.

She pretended to look at the time, her expression worried. “It’s almost nine-thirty. Why isn’t Sister here yet? Did something happen?”

The others looked puzzled.

They all knew about the scandal and did not have a good impression of her either.

And now she’s late again for the first day of recording, making everyone wait for her.

Before even meeting her, everyone’s initial impression of Shi Ran had already dropped to the very bottom.

[Sister? You’re talking about Shi Ran, aren’t you? Then the retard is still there?]

[So Shi Ran is late?? Late on the first day???]

[I hope something happens! Better to get hit by a car when she steps out. One less scourge in the world.]

[Everyone is waiting for her. What a big shot.]

The comments were nasty and made Shi Ran hit the trending searches.

Soon, the news of #Late Shi Ran# was trending.

Netizens flooded the live-stream. More and more comments appeared, almost all of them were scolding Shi Ran.

Director Wang looked at the rapidly rising popularity and smiled until his eyes were only slits.

At this moment, Shi Ran walked in with her suitcase.

The sound of wheels scraping the ground drew everyone’s attention.

When they saw Shi Ran appear, the camera quickly turned to face her.

Shi Wenfei glanced at the clock. Nine-thirty.

She gritted her teeth.

Didn’t she tell Shi Ran to come at ten? This bitch actually came half an hour early!

But it didn’t matter. Being late for 30 minutes was enough.

She rose from her seat and ran forward with feigned concern. “What took you so long, sister? Did something happen?”

Her eyes swept across the flashing red cameras. The guests sitting in the living room clearly showed displeasure in their eyes.

Looking at the hypocritical Shi Wenfei in front of her, how could she not understand what was going on?

She let go of the suitcase and looked at Shi Wenfei with a faint smile.

Ji Wenfeng and Fang Tongtong followed this time and stood among the staff.

“Brother Feng, why is the atmosphere not right?” Fang Tongtong covered her mouth and whispered.

Ji Wenfeng’s face darkened. “We’re in trouble.”

‘He had to go out last night and only got back this morning. Someone must have taken advantage of his absence.’

All eyes and cameras were on Shi Ran.

“Sister, come in first. We were waiting for you,” Shi Wenfei said with a smile, not forgetting to remind everyone again of Shi Ran’s unpunctuality.

[How dare you show up late! I’m really drunk.]

[Making everyone wait for her. How shameless is she?]

[Get out of the show, will you?]

The guests were silent as Shi Ran entered. No one spoke first to greet her.

“Can you tell everyone why you’re late?” Guja asked with a straight face.

“Last night, the staff told me that the recording would start at ten. It’s nine-thirty now. I should be considered early.” Shi Ran looked calm.

The guests’ expressions immediately became subtle.

Zhou Yufan sighed helplessly, as if he was disappointed. “Why do you have to find an excuse? Everyone can understand if you just admit it.”

No one said anything, but they had already tacitly agreed that she was merely making an excuse, and the worst kind.

[Would anyone believe you?]

[Even her fiancé is disappointed in her.]

[Her character is so bad that no one spoke up for her.]

Even the atmosphere of the bullet screen was affected.

Shi Wenfei stepped forward with a serious face. “I trust my Sister. Sister, can you tell me which staff?”

Coldness flashed in her eyes as she curled her lips. “She’s not here.”

[Damn it, can you stop acting?]

[Crazily adding screen time to yourself. I’m speechless.]

[Blaming it on the staff? We already gave her the chance to show us proof yet she says that the staff’s not there.]

[Even letting her assistant take the blame is more useful than letting the staff take the blame.]

[What did the staff do wrong to deserve this?]

[Feifei kindly wants to help her, but some people are just useless.]

“Stop finding excuses. The staff has no reason to target you. It’s not good for the production team if you’re late,” Zhou Yufan said sternly.

Director Wang looked at the rising popularity of the live-stream and smiled in satisfaction.

This capitalist had kept this woman who had been defamed on the show just so that she could play the sacrificial role.

It was all thanks to Shi Ran that the program team’s popularity continued to rise. On the first day of filming, they had already become a trending topic.

Director Wang looked excited. “Push the camera forward a little more and give Shi Ran a close-up.”

Ji Wenfeng noticed this scene. Although he was angry, he could not do anything at this moment. Otherwise, it might backfire.

He stared hard at the composed Shi Ran in the field.

Whatever was about to happen, she could only rely on herself now.

“I think Miss Shi will remember from now on. I’m sure she won’t be late next time. As a gift for our first meeting, let’s let it go this time.”

Bai Jingtian’s voice was gentle as he spoke.

Shi Wenfei was shocked.

Bai Jingtian was actually speaking up for Shi Ran? Had he forgotten about being pestered by Shi Ran previously?

[Our Tian Ge really repays evil with good]

[Brother Tian is so gentle. The world’s first gentleman. I love him so much.]

[Hubby is too kind, but this person is not worth it!!]

Zuo Yifei stepped forward. “Let’s get to the next part.”

He seemed to be trying to smooth things over, but he was actually getting impatient.

“Then let’s start …”

The model, Liang Bu, was about to continue when he was interrupted by a lazy girl.

‘But I saw it.’

Everyone turned to look at Shi Ran, who had spoken.

She leaned against the white wall, her gaze locked on Shi Wenfei. “I saw that same staff member knocking on your door.”
