Chapter 140: Broaden Your Perspective

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

This accident had indeed shocked everyone.

After watching the performance of the Liao sisters, the other two groups no longer had any hope.

Especially when the judges praised the sisters and gave them feedback with much greater detail. The audience felt that the last group would definitely win.

When the director heard the results, he was stunned for a moment. He held the hotpot prize voucher and felt confused.

Lu Jinsen’s reaction was half a beat slower. It was only then that he realized that the judges had already announced the rankings.

He looked at Meng Chuyuan in shock with a hint of verification. “First place?”

“Surprised, right?” Meng Chuyuan said without changing her expression. “I’m surprised too.”

Lu Jinsen:

Their performance just now was normal. Other than the part where her clothes were stepped on, which the judges emphasized, they only received vague praise on their performance and correction on some small details. It was considered a normal performance.

Meng Chuyuan felt that perhaps because they were the first group to perform on stage, the judges were more reserved and did not pick apart their performance as much.

After the director regained his senses, he brought the prize over to present the award. “Congratulations to Lu Jinsen and Meng Chuyuan for winning first place in this performance. You will be rewarded with a hotpot exchange voucher.” [What a small surprise, hahaha. Looking at Sister Meng and Young Master’s state before they went on stage, I didn’t expect them to win.]

[This is unintentional. Sister Meng said that she didn’t want to eat hotpot, but this grand prize still landed on her head in the end.]

[This reminds me of a top student who goes to the examination hall without revising and still performs better than average.]

[I’m guessing that Ting Jiu will be there to freeload on hotpot again.]

[The twins are probably going to die of anger, right? They performed with so much vigor and even performed one more time than others, yet Sister Meng’s group picked up such a great bargain.]

Liao Jiake watched as the voucher landed in Meng Chuyuan’s hands. She felt quite debased.

Performing arts was Liao Jiake’s forte. From the moment she arrived at this place, she had thought that she would definitely win this afternoon’s competition.

In the morning, she did not have an advantage in the pottery studio. She wanted to stand out in this competition, but today, she did not have the chance to get first place twice.

This mission was successfully completed. The six guests and the judges took a photo on the stage before returning backstage to change and remove their makeup.

At 5:30 pm, Qi Zhen rushed to the airport from the hotel. A passerby fan happened to recognize him and even accompanied him to board the plane.

A female fan asked for his autograph and even spoke to him enthusiastically. “Brother Qi Zhen, are you going to record the variety show?”

“That’s right.” Qi Zhen wore a mask, revealing his eyes. The dark circles under his eyes were slightly obvious, and his fans felt sorry for him.

“Are you tired from recording the variety show? We felt that you were struggling when we were watching the live-stream.”

Qi Zhen narrowed his eyes and smiled gently. “I’ve been rather tired these few days.”

He had filmed a night scene last night until three in the morning. Then he got up before seven to work again until noon.

He took a nap at the hotel in the afternoon. After checking out, he rushed straight to the airport.

Female fan: “Then have your sister help you more on the variety show.” Qi Zhen’s smile under his mask was full of misery and bitterness.

With a smile in his eyes, he shook his head gently and said, “She’s a girl. She can’t do the heavy work.”

“This variety show is called ‘Advance and retreat together’. Don’t always dote

on her.”

Another fan said, “That’s right. You dote on her too much. You can still give her those easy jobs. Don’t carry all the burden alone.”

Qi Zhen listened to the people around him complaining about this matter. He just smiled and didn’t say anything.

When they were almost done, Qi Zhen found an excuse to leave. “I have to catch a plane, or I won’t make it in time. Bye.”

At the same time, the six guests came out after removing their makeup and changing their clothes. The sun was about to set.

Other than Meng Chuyuan’s team, the other teams had to negotiate with the production team to get their dinner ingredients.

Meng Chuyuan and Lu Jinsen stood under a big tree outside the door, waiting.

Before the others returned, Meng Chuyuan started chatting with Lu Jinsen again. “Why don’t we call them over to eat hotpot with us later?”

She felt that it was not lively enough, with only two people eating hotpot.

Moreover, because of this competition, the others had also worked very hard. Not only were there disagreements, but there were also people who had put in a lot of effort into their performance. Only their group was the most casual.

They really didn’t feel anything about winning first place.

Therefore, when Meng Chuyuan was backstage just now, she was thinking about calling everyone over to eat hotpot.

Lu Jinsen was slightly stunned when he heard that.

He had never thought about it in this way, so he had never considered sharing with everyone.

When Meng Chuyuan mentioned it just now, he was quite surprised.

After a while, Lu Jinsen said calmly, “I have no objections.”

[Sister Meng has seen the bigger picture once again.]

[Lu Jinsen is also very magnanimous. Sister Meng said that she wanted to call everyone over, and he agreed immediately.]

[This is too good. Boohoo, I feel that Sister Meng must be doing this to resolve the conflict between the other two groups.]

[This woman is showing off again, showing off her charisma.]

[How can this be called showing off? It’s normal to want to share good food and fun with the people around you. What does the internal conflicts of the other teams have to do with my Sister Meng? She didn’t do anything to hinder them.]

A few minutes later, the other two groups came over with ingredients.

When they approached, Meng Chuyuan took the initiative to ask, “Shall we eat hotpot together tonight?”

Ting Jiu’s eyes widened when he heard this. His eyes revealed joy as he agreed readily. “Okay.”

Coincidentally, he also wanted to eat hotpot.

Ting Jiu couldn’t stop smiling. “Sister Chuyuan, just lend us the pot. We have the ingredients for the hotpot.”

In any case, he and Qi Yan would not know how to cook when they returned with the ingredients. They might as well eat hotpot with Meng Chuyuan and the rest.

Qi Yan stood at the side coldly. Ting Jiu had already finished speaking, so she did not even have the right to speak.

Seeing that Qi Yan did not refute immediately, Meng Chuyuan Yuan took it as acquiescence.

Meng Chuyuan slowly looked at the Liao sisters and asked politely, “What about the two sisters?”

Liao Jiayan knew that she wasn’t qualified to make the decision, so she chose to remain silent and wait for Liao Jiake to speak.

“Yan Yan and I won’t go. Let’s go back and cook it ourselves.”

She knew that Meng Chuyuan and Ting Jiu were friends. It was normal for him to eat hotpot with them, so she and Liao Jiayan did not join in the fun.

In their current state, it would be awkward for them to go.

Ting Jiu advised from the side, “Sister Liao, it’s so troublesome to cook when we go back. Why don’t you eat hotpot with me and Sister Chuyuan?”

Liao Jiake revealed a faint smile and shook her head. She refused tactfully. “I’ve been a little heaty recently and have started to get pimples. You guys can eat.”

Seeing that she did not agree, Meng Chuyuan respected their opinions.

“Alright, I’ll see you tomorrow..”
