DTBS - Chapter 60
Chapter 60: Dating Show Promo
"Qingshang," Lan Su arrived at Qin Qingshang's home with Wen Yu. She shook Qin Qingshang's hand and smiled, "Now we're partners again."
"Sister Lan," Qin Qingshang also smiled, her gaze sincere, "I'm very fortunate that you are still my manager."
The woman's brows and eyes were filled with smiles, her whole being bright and extraordinary, like a flower bathed in the spring breeze.
How could she not be happy? In the novel, Jiang Lihe couldn't defeat Tao Qiuyun and only dared to avoid her. It was just that Tao Qiuyun didn't care about the entertainment industry and was indifferent to everything within it, and Tao Zhuohua didn't dare to repeatedly beg his sister with his own affairs.
Now that the CEO of Chunjin had said she wanted Sufeng Entertainment dead, could Jiang Lihe still threaten her? The novel's ending had been completely changed!
Sure enough, as long as you stay away from scumbags, life becomes beautiful.
In the novel, she was controlled by Jiang Lihe, missed 《Fluttering Butterfly》, saw her reputation plummet at the Night of Stars, and her nightmare began.
But now, she had resisted Jiang Lihe and wasn't threatened by him. Thanks to Tao Qiuyun, she didn't miss 《Fluttering Butterfly》, her dignity was preserved at the Night of Stars by Tao Qiuyun, and that annoying guy Qi Xingwu was also sent away.
Thank you, CEO Tao! Thank you, Qinqin!
"And me, and me! Sister," Wen Yu placed the fruit basket she brought onto the coffee table in the living room, "I came along too. Fuyao Entertainment also requested me. Is this the financial power of Fuyao?"
"Qingshang," Lan Su sat on the sofa, "Fuyao really invested heavily this time. Behind this, there must be CEO Tao's doing, right?"
"Yes," Qin Qingshang nodded. She went to the fridge to get bottled water for them and sat down on the sofa as well, "She did it."
The woman squeezed the mineral water bottle in her hand, feeling a bit helpless, "My heart aches for all that money."
"CEO Tao is a businesswoman," Lan Su comforted her, "She definitely wouldn't do a losing business. She must have a plan."
"I think," Wen Yu made an exaggerated gesture, "CEO Tao is just spending a fortune for a beauty's smile. As long as she can get Sister out of Sufeng, spending money is just a drop in the bucket~"
"CEO Tao definitely wouldn't spend money for nothing," Lan Su was confident, "Fuyao's contract is very good, and Qingshang has the ability. Now that we have a big backer, we'll earn this money back sooner or later!"
"Speaking of which, Sister," Wen Yu looked at Qin Qingshang, a little curious, "You and CEO Tao have been married for almost half a year, right? Aren't you planning to have a wedding or something?"
"Exactly," Lan Su nodded, "Even if it's not public, you can have a private one. What does CEO Tao say? She doesn't want to have one, does she? You were busy before, but now 《Fluttering Butterfly》 is in production, and you have plenty of free time during this period!"
"Half a year…" Qin Qingshang was a little lost in thought.
Has it been almost half a year already?
Does this mean that in another half a year, she will divorce Tao Qiuyun?
"Qingshang?" Lan Su saw her expression and became a little anxious, "No way? CEO Tao really hasn't thought about having a wedding? Or taking you on a honeymoon? How could she be like that! You gave birth to her child, you got the certificate, and she's not even willing to give you a celebration?"
Although she was grateful to Tao Qiuyun for rescuing them from Sufeng, with her identity and family background, not giving her wife a celebration seemed unreasonable, right?
"No, it's me who doesn't want to go public," Qin Qingshang lowered her gaze slightly, "So, there's no need for a wedding or anything."
"It's okay, Sister!" Wen Yu comforted her, "Wait until you achieve success, Sister, then have a grand wedding with CEO Tao! Announce it to the whole world!"
She paused, a little expectant, "Sister, can I be a bridesmaid? Even being part of the atmosphere group on the side is fine."
Qin Qingshang was amused by her, but then she thought about divorcing Tao Qiuyun in half a year and felt complicated. She said, "There's no need. CEO Tao is also a low-key person and doesn't like having weddings."
"I won't like you"
"Don't be narcissistic"
"I'm doing this so Qinqin has a good impression of me"
"Sweet Heart is the name of the wine"
"My hugs are all just for show"
Tao Qiuyun's gentle and clear voice seemed to still echo in her ears, but when these words were taken out individually, were they really that cold and heartless? She hadn't noticed it at all back then.
All their time together ultimately turned into the negotiation and tension at the St. Ya Restaurant.
All their conversations and jokes ultimately turned into that one sentence:
In a year, I will divorce you, absolutely no entanglement!
So… they will divorce, right? They should divorce.
This fake relationship was bought with money from the start. Their relationship was unequal from the beginning. Tao Qiuyun is so good to her now, it's all because of Qinqin, but she almost took her gentleness seriously!
Fortunately, I woke up.
"Marrying you, I have an obligation to be loyal to you"
Yes, obligation, the obligation bound by marriage. She is a person who strictly adheres to etiquette and rules. It is only because she is her wife that she will be loyal to her and stand up for her.
Without this identity, how could the CEO of Chunjin take a liking to her?
Tao Qiuyun is indeed very gentle, but…
She is only being affectionate towards the title of 'wife'.
Divorce! Must divorce in half a year! Must stay away from that terrifying woman, Tao Qiuyun, as soon as possible!
Otherwise, it's too easy to fall into her gentle "trap". Chatting with Tao Qiuyun on WeChat every day, she almost forgot who she was.
Maintaining a marriage with someone who doesn't actually love you, what good outcome could there be!
"Qingshang," Lan Su nudged her shoulder, "What are you thinking about? So engrossed. I just told you that a variety show director contacted me. Are you interested in taking on a variety show recently? Or do you want to rest?"
"Rest?" Qin Qingshang shook her head, "Can't rest."
If she rests, she won't be able to resist seeing Qinqin, and seeing Qinqin will definitely involve that guy Tao Qiuyun. She needs to work hard on her career!
"Take it. What kind of variety show?" Qin Qingshang asked her, "Since Sister Lan is considering it, it must be pretty good, right?"
"It is good," Lan Su gave a dry laugh, "But I don't know if it's suitable for you to go, after all, the production team doesn't know you're married."
"What do you mean?"
"It's a dating variety show that was super popular before, and now they're preparing for the second season."
"《Super High-Speed Heartbeat》?" Qin Qingshang was surprised.
"You know about it?" Lan Su nodded, "Right, the first season was really popular. Although they were all ordinary people, the main draw was the information gap. What kind of proper dating show has a werewolf game that lasts until the end? The identities were all fake, it was scary."
Qin Qingshang frowned. Could it be that after she became popular, the resources she was supposed to get were also brought forward?
In the novel, she also participated in this variety show.
After being kicked out by Jiang Lihe, she rose rapidly. And that scumbag, perhaps because he just liked to destroy beautiful things, said he regretted it and wanted to pursue her, but still used tactics like "If you're obedient, I'll give you resources," and "If you're not obedient, I'll make sure you only get resources from me."
At that time, she was in a difficult situation with no exposure. It was rare for a variety show that wasn't afraid of death to send her an invitation. The reason was that a big shot's project needed a pioneer to test the waters and let everyone know about it, so they approached the entertainment industry.
Coupled with the fact that the audience would get tired of the same old routine, the production team also wanted to attract new viewers, so they adopted a live broadcast model mixing celebrities and ordinary people…
But that was the third season! It's only the second season now. Has that big shot's project come out yet?
The second season in the novel didn't have as good reviews as the first.
"Sister Lan," Qin Qingshang tentatively asked, "Did the production team say what the format is this time? Is it the same as the first season?"
"Different! Completely different. This time it's live broadcast. The director told me that this time there's a big investment and they're using the latest technology, some kind of new type of camera. Although it's a trial run, it's considered product promotion, so they're very generous and provided ample funding."
Lan Su looked serious, "I know live broadcasting is risky, and many celebrities are unwilling, but the director secretly told me that this time the big shot is unusual, and this project is also highly valued by the higher-ups. If celebrities are willing to come, maybe their careers will be more stable… So Qingshang, personally, I hope you participate."
She paused, then added, "Of course, regarding CEO Tao, why don't you coax her properly? Absolutely don't say that I told you to participate!"
The production team hadn't mentioned that Tao Qiuyun would participate because the three people and one dog (crossed out dog) had discussed it again temporarily. They felt that not revealing Tao Qiuyun's participation in the variety show would be more realistic, and it would be best to keep the production team in the dark as well. They could also give Qin Qingshang a surprise along the way. How great (mean) is that!
Hearing Lan Su's words, the cat was shocked.
Indeed, in the novel, this project was also highly valued by the government. Its first use in the entertainment industry was just to test the effect using the national audience. After all, this type of micro-camera, which is small and requires professional technical personnel to operate, has more terrifying uses and would definitely not be open to the public.
"How about it?" Lan Su asked her again.
"I'll participate!" Qin Qingshang's eyes were firm, "You don't need to worry about CEO Tao. I'll talk to her."
"Will she agree?" Wen Yu blinked, "No one can tolerate their wife going to date others, right?"
"I won't be dating," Qin Qingshang found it amusing, "A dating variety show doesn't necessarily mean you have to date. There are many people who are still single after the show ends."
"Then in that case, Sister, what are you going there for?"
"To make my future more stable and earn more money along the way!"
The cat was expectant.
"CEO Tao," Wang Huai placed the document box in her hand on Tao Qiuyun's desk, "The information from the government is all here. To be honest, everyone was quite surprised that you agreed to test this project through the entertainment industry, especially since you didn't say that at the Beijing conference."
"After careful consideration, I think Minister Qiu's words make a lot of sense," Tao Qiuyun said without changing her expression, "The entertainment industry has a large following now, and there are many netizens with free time. Opening a platform for them to help test stability not only makes money but also provides free testers. How cost-effective."
Wang Huai curled the corner of her mouth, then quickly suppressed it, saying seriously, "Then, CEO Tao, may I ask the reason for your leave this time?"
"I heard," Tao Qiuyun leaned back in her chair, seemingly in a good mood. She joked, "Everyone misses the days when Executive Assistant Wang was acting CEO. I'm just following public opinion."
"I don't miss it at all." Wang Huai said expressionlessly.
CEO, the title sounds good, and the power is great, but it's really tiring!
The phone on the desk rang with a special notification sound. Wang Huai saw Tao Qiuyun instantly straighten up.
She lowered her head and smiled, pursing her lips…
Qiuqiu, you've become much more lively. That's great!
【Big Cat: (Cat peeking)】
【Big Cat: Is CEO Tao busy? (Cat knocking on door)】
Tao Qiuyun glanced at the tall stack of documents on her desk and decisively typed:
【Tao Qiuyun: Not busy】
【Big Cat: CEO Tao, I have something to tell you. Please don't be angry when you hear it (Cat rolling around)】
【Tao Qiuyun: Please speak, Miss Qin】
【Big Cat: A dating variety show invited me, CEO Tao. I want to participate. This is a great opportunity for me, but don't worry, I will abide by the agreement. I won't date anyone else. I'll go on as a single dog!】
【Big Cat: (Cat with starry eyes)】
Tao Qiuyun smiled. She had naturally received her mother's instructions not to tell Qin Qingshang that she would also be on the variety show.
The woman's gaze was gentle, her eyes hiding deep anticipation:
【Tao Qiuyun: Okay, Miss Qin, go for it!】
【Big Cat: (Cat scattering flowers)】
【Big Cat: I won't bother CEO Tao anymore! Bye bye~】
【Tao Qiuyun: (Cat waving)】
"CEO Tao! Something big has happened!"
An Ningru sprinted in holding her phone. The floor tiles were too slippery, and she ran too fast. With a slight stumble, she tripped and slid smoothly, "Swoosh—" falling face down in front of Tao Qiuyun's desk.
She tremblingly raised her arm, placing her phone on the desk, her breath puffing onto the floor tiles, "C-CEO Tao, Miss Qin, Miss Qin is going on a dating show!"
Help! Is this Fuyao's PR? You shifted the focus, but you attracted CEO Tao's attention!
Will the next one to be finished be the 《Super High-Speed Heartbeat》 production team?
Seeing the young woman lying on the ground still trying to raise her hand, Wang Huai fell silent…
No, do young people have to work this hard and desperately these days?
Tao Qiuyun took her phone and scrolled through the messages:
【Super High-Speed Heartbeat V: Season 2 is here~ Still the old rules, five men and five women, a big battle of ten people, but this season will adopt a full live broadcast model of celebrities and ordinary people. Exclusive cameras are waiting for you to unlock, the first in the whole network, hahahaha. First, let's announce our celebrity guests to cheer everyone up [Ding Yuyan] [Qin Qingshang] [Ming Siwen] [Ai Yi] [Bai Yunquan] [Meng Wuzhong]】
【My Goodness: What a lineup! Can anyone tell me why so many famous people are participating in a dating show?】
【Insider: I heard this matter is not simple, more complicated than some high-level circles in the entertainment industry. I can only say, those who know, know】
【I'll Ship Anything: It's finally here! It's finally here! My holiday depends on this to survive!】
【I Want to Eat Melon: Putting Qin's photo between Ding and Ming, it feels a bit off~】
【They're Not Right: I used to ship Sister Qin and Sister Ding】
【I Have a Balanced Diet: As long as they are pretty sisters, I'll eat any ship】
【I'm a Passerby: Don't be too ridiculous shipping Qin and Ming. Their millions of fans will come over soon】
【Dating Show Enthusiast: Live broadcast! Live broadcast! Please start broadcasting quickly! Urgent, urgent, urgent, urgent】
【Honest Person: Ah, this, a celebrity lineup of three men and three women? Only four ordinary people?】
【Understands Everything: Got it, the celebrity group will hype up male-female CPs with each other, and the ordinary people group will hype up with each other】
【I'm Speechless: Thank you, please arrange more same-sex CPs. The last season was all heterosexual relationships, it was really hard to bear, even though it's legal now】
【King Gigi: Where are the ordinary people? Where are the ordinary people? Let's see the ordinary sisters!】
"CEO Tao?" An Ningru got up from the ground with Wang Huai's help, cautiously probing, "Are you okay?"
"I'm very good," Tao Qiuyun returned the phone to her and stood up, saying, "Very good."
"Ah? Why? Miss Qin is going on a dating show behind your back!" An Ningru didn't understand. CEO Tao clearly cared about Miss Qin a lot, right?
"She didn't hide the fact that she's participating in a dating show," Tao Qiuyun took off her suit jacket, revealing the gray shirt underneath, a smile on her face, "She told me. If you really want to get to the bottom of it, it's me who's hiding my participation in the dating show from her."
An Ningru was stunned, "What? Participating in what?"
"CEO Tao, are you going home now?" Wang Huai was very surprised. She had a sense of unreality, "It's only four o'clock! Also, are you taking leave starting today? There are still so many documents on the desk that haven't been…"
"You'll have to work hard these days, Executive Assistant Wang," Tao Qiuyun unbuttoned her collar, "I have something very important to do."
"…The dating show hasn't started yet." Wang Huai reminded her.
"I know." Tao Qiuyun nodded.
The woman slowly rolled up her shirt sleeves to her forearms, staring at her right hand. Her voice was cool:
"I just need some time to find my touch."
What kind of touch? Is this touch of yours a proper touch?
