Or should it be described as disdain?
Lu Xingzhi analyzed for Xiao Zulinqing: "You know , I have a very dull personality and it’s impossible for to have a feel for variety shows. I might end up causing awkward silences on ’Joy Unlimited.’ Even if the host throws a topic my way, I might not catch it."
Xiao Zulinqing nodded, "That’s indeed the case. What about ’Extraordinary Challenge’? Why do you think I wouldn’t let you go on that?"
"Didn’t you just say? It’s about so challenges, probably of the extre kind! It must be very physically demanding. More importantly, you just glossed over it. You didn’t tell much about this show. Does this an you want to participate in it?"
Lu Xingzhi glanced at Xiao Zulinqing, "Am I right?"
Xiao Zulinqing: "..."
Totally spot on.
As expected, you can’t talk too much with smart people.
They can analyze everything just from that.
So is it a matter of logic?
Is science stronger, or is liberal arts better?
"You’re right. Why do you think I want you to go on ’Nongn Inn’?" Xiao Zulinqing didn’t think they slipped up, only that Lu Xingzhi was too clever.
It’s definitely not because they were too dumb.
The adversary is just too cunning.
"Shouldn’t you be the one telling that? What’s the problem?" Lu Xingzhi asked.
"It’s nothing much, just that I owe their director a favor. Back then, he helped out. The show’s viewership was pretty good, and there are two superstar hosts—one’s a top presenter and the other’s a major star. Plus a heartthrob.
However, recently other channels have launched new shows, and their ratings started to drop. If you go, it could save their ratings that day. The ratings that day should reach a new high record."
Xiao Zulinqing patted Lu Xingzhi’s shoulder, "I’m just ntioning it, don’t take it to heart. Don’t want to go, don’t go!"
"Alright! But even if I’m a bit narcissistic and think the ratings will be high that day, what about after I leave? What will they do then?" Lu Xingzhi asked.
"That’s their problem."
Lu Xingzhi frowned slightly, "I’ll think about it and give you an answer tomorrow morning!"
"Okay." Xiao Zulinqing certainly wouldn’t force it.

In the evening, Lu Xingzhi talked about it with Huo Jincheng.
She didn’t want to put Xiao Zulinqing in a difficult position, but she didn’t really like being around so many caras.
"If you don’t want to go, then don’t. You don’t need variety shows to maintain your fa." Huo Jincheng wouldn’t care about such things; besides, the favor Xiao Zulinqing owed had nothing to do with their family’s Zhi Zhi.
Lu Xingzhi’s variety show debut is definitely going to be a highlight.
The ratings are sure to explode.
"I’ll think it over. It’s actually not impossible. I’ll reconsider after a couple more episodes." Lu Xingzhi had a good impression of Xiao Zulinqing as her agent and had never asked her for anything.
Now that she can help out, she isn’t strongly opposed to it.
But even if this show is on a warm and fuzzy path, she still feels she has no affinity with variety shows.
"Zhi Zhi, let’s not talk about it for now. Whatever decision you make, I’ll support you. But right now, we have more important things to do." Huo Jincheng said seriously.
"What is it... um..."
