I'm Crushing on Gorgeous Faces in Variety Shows! Chapter 175: Guarded Against Men and Women, Never Against Yo

Having talked on speakerphone for over an hour, the two finally ended the call reluctantly.

Less than half an hour after the call ended, Mu Qiu, having just washed up and ready to lay in bed for a bit, suddenly received a ssage from the "5G surfing pioneer" Guan Yu.

Although it seed like Mu Qiu and Guan Yu were the closest among the guests on the show, Guan Yu was actually quite skilled in dealing with people.

In fact, Guan Yu rarely sent ssages to chat with her.

It seed Guan Yu preferred face-to-face conversations. She used her phone primarily for 5G surfing, as a tool for grasping the latest gossip.

Now suddenly sending her a ssage...

Mu Qiu lay on the bed and opened the chat window.

[Guan Yu: Mu Qiuqiu, you’re amazing, even private fans have invaded your house and you’re still so calm]

[???]

[Have the revelations on the internet already updated to this point? They’re updating quite quickly]

[Guan Yu: You seem to have a good mindset. The internet has started to turn from half-hating you to sympathizing with you]

[No need, first they were cursing , now they start to sympathize with , such a drastic change is terrifying]

[Guan Yu: You can check out the marketing accounts’ copy online, oh boy, it’s faster than changing faces in Sichuan Opera]

[Not interested. Such intense emotions can damage your organs]

[Guan Yu: Alright then, as long as you’re calm, I’m off to continue surfing on the frontlines]

[Wait, Sister Guan Yu.]

[Guan Yu: ??? Almost took the 5G ride off far away]

[Did you teach Li Yang sothing bad? He’s learned to do sothing like making money without any real cost]

[Guan Yu: Allow to correct that, not having a heartbeat would be sothing else entirely]

[Guan Yu: And it’s just that I slightly taught him so survival skills for the show because he urgently wants to move from last to second last]

[Is that why the second last is teaching the last?]

[Guan Yu: ... This is just a temporary second last. Once I finish teaching the last, I’ve ensured I won’t be last and might even push for third last]

[I’ve already taken a screenshot and will send it to Li Yang later.]

[Guan Yu: Oh no, I was cautious about guys and girls, but not you, my mistake]

[......]

Angry enough to roll her eyes, just halfway through doing so, the phone suddenly scread a series of sharp rings, nearly causing her to lose her grip.

It’s Zhao Yu calling again.

The forthcoming phone call was predictably troubleso. She fell back on the bed, closed her eyes, listened to the ringtone twice, and then slid to answer.

"Hello..."

"Mu Qiu, you’ve really made it this ti!!!"

A furious roar ca through, Mu Qiu’s eyebrows twitched, and she quickly held the phone farther away.

"Isn’t that supposed to be a complint?"

"Holy crap, you let a private fan break into your ho and you’re still pretending!" On the other side, the roaring continued, Zhao Yu’s energy seed like she had ten bottles of energy drink.

"If I hadn’t accidentally clicked a browser news popup before sleeping, I wouldn’t even be aware you’ve had a personal safety threat!"

"How can you be so nonchalant about sothing this serious and not ntion it?!"

"Don’t play dead on ! I swear I’ll start a video call without makeup!"

Mu Qiu: "......"

Once the shouting subsided a bit, she brought the phone back to her ear and tried to calm Zhao Yu.

"Don’t be mad, don’t be mad, it’s all over. I was mad at the ti too, but I fought back, and I wasn’t at a disadvantage."

"Is this about not being at a disadvantage?! I’m talking about why you didn’t ntion this!"

"I figured it was over, bringing it up would just add to the stress. Plus, Brother Cheng said his studio would handle the fan situation and offer compensation; the girl has already been taught a lesson."

"I told you to move sooner, good that you did! These private fans have serious issues! Luckily, it was a girl!"

Mu Qiu randomly murmured in agreent, "If you’re going to curse, just curse, why act cute with double words."

"Mind your own business! Look after yourself first! Upon seeing that news, I literally shot up from bed with anger! Have you moved yet?! If not, I’ll help you move!"

"Aren’t you supposed to be working?"

"My own sister being in a life-threatening situation after a break-in, they can’t deny leave, can they?"

"... I moved, I moved."

"Really? Where to?"

"Sowhere safer."

"Safer... Did your writer friend help you with that? I knew he had a rich family."

"?" Mu Qiu took a mont to recall who she was referring to, "Not him, he’s been busy with a book signing, probably doesn’t even know I’m this ’famous’ now."

Zhao Yu snorted, "With so much going on, he should’ve known even with an old-school phone. Alright, as long as you’ve moved. Don’t provoke those lunatics... Did you fight back?"

"Of course I did!"

"And that’s it?"

"No, handed it over to Brother Cheng. Minors aren’t criminally liable; finding loopholes is their speciality."

"Oh—" Zhao Yu’s tone was aningful, "Brother Cheng, can’t you call him by his na?"

"Cheng Zhirang?"

"Brother i Yan."

"... Get lost."

"Anyway, it’s his problem, so it’s fine for him to handle it, but you can’t just quietly let it be solved! Otherwise, you’ll have suffered for nothing."

Mu Qiu thought of what Cheng Zhirang told her about the girl’s temporary situation and what would happen later. She shook her head silently and said to Zhao Yu.

"It’s not seen that way. From an artist’s perspective, if their fan invades their space, their first option is definitely to handle it quietly; have you ever seen an artist widely publicize their fan causing harm?"

"Wouldn’t that be senseless? Digging your own grave? And since the artist definitely chooses to handle it quietly, why did it get exposed and stir up so much commotion?"

Zhao Yu, being at the top of the entertainnt fan base, quickly caught on and gasped.

"Hiss— Is there soone targeting Cheng Zhirang with a backup plan?"

Mu Qiu couldn’t quite accept a certain term, correcting her: "It’s targeting, not getting involved, change that word."

"Okay, okay. Soone’s targeting Cheng Zhirang and dragging you down. This circle is too chaotic, if it doesn’t work out, co back? We can pull together so money for breach of contract..."

"Breach fee is at least half a million."

Zhao Yu smoothly shifted the topic: "Then forget it, keep doing what you’re doing, the entertainnt industry has its perks. Besides, you get to see handso guys and pretty ladies whenever you’re on a show."

"Zhao Yu, you’re really... Can’t find the words to express my speechlessness and disappointnt with you."

"No need to express, just knowing is enough. Well, now I’m going to soothe myself with a call with my Prince Charming, do your own thing."

"You didn’t reveal anything to your Prince Charming, did you?"

"Of course not! Keeping a secret like ’everyone doesn’t know my friend beca famous and wealthy enough to co back for ’ is thrilling, okay?!"

This reassured Mu Qiu. Broadcasting their relationship now could attract crazy paparazzi and private fans to Yun City.
