Chapter 70

In the quiet and spacious hotel restaurant, a melodious blues tone was playing on the speakers, while people sat on the deck, chatting and laughing. Ming Yu had chosen a position in a corner of the restaurant that was covered in green plants, making it difficult for others to see the situation inside. Therefore, his conversation with Du Ruo didn’t receive much attention.

After a simple meal, Ming Yu ordered a glass of lemonade and Du Ruo ordered coffee. Then the both of them continued to laugh and talk.

Du Ruo sipped her coffee and asked, “Ming Xiaoyu, I noticed something today when the show was filming. Is there a problem between you and Cheng Su? His attitude towards you is very cold and he doesn’t care much about you.”

Ming Yu looked up at Du Ruo in surprise at the words.

Du Ruo looked very charming and glamorous, but she was very generous when dealing with others. This generosity was good and she was very casual. Thus, despite Du Ruo being ranked 3rd out of all the top female supermodels, she was very approachable and didn’t alienate Ming Yu and others.

This Du Ruo noticed the strange atmosphere between him and Cheng Su?

Du Ruo smiled like she understood Ming Yu’s meaning and said, “No matter what, I am a woman. It is natural that I know more about matters of the heart than men. Then Ming Xiaoyu, have you encountered trouble with Cheng Su?”

Trouble?

Ming Yu’s lips curved as he secretly thought, ‘How could this be described as trouble?

This was simply a bloody vengeance!’

He couldn’t understand the grief and fury behind the original owner’s actions, but the original owner wanted to teach Cheng Su a lesson. Ming Yu had to do this.

Du Ruo was from Lanka Modelling Agency and wasn’t aware of Muse’s internal affairs. It was estimated that she would only know Xi Ze, He Chaoman, Luo Cheng and several other top Muse models. And even if Du Ruo was a Muse model, she wouldn’t have known about Cheng Su and Ming Yu.

It was like the general manager of a company suddenly being concerned with the dispute between two small executives in a certain department…

It was too much!

But Ming Yu didn’t directly answer Du Ruo. The handsome youth revealed a charming smile. Then Ming Yu shook his head and said, “Actually, there is nothing serious between me and Cheng Su. Sister Du, you don’t have to worry.”

Du Ruo raised an eyebrow thoughtfully at the words and didn’t proceed with the topic.

They chatted together for a while before returning to their room upstairs to prepare for the next day’s recording.

Telling other people, especially Du Ruo, the conflict between himself and Cheng Su?

Ming Yu would never do that.

First of all, he wasn’t familiar with Du Ruo, they had only known each other for one day. Secondly, it wasn’t right to talk about others behind their backs. This was taboo in the industry. Du Ruo wouldn’t ask so casually if she really cared. Thus, he sensibly chose the ‘neutral’ option.

However, the next morning, Ming Yu had just woken up and was eating breakfast in the dining room. Suddenly, Luo Ru leaned close ti him and quietly said, “Xiaoyu, Cheng Su’s endorsement for Rayleigh Cano came out yesterday. The domestic major counters and some advertising billboards were changed to his posters. Now Cheng Su is a hot topic in Huaxia.”

As Luo Ru said this, Ming Yu saw Cheng Su and his assistant walk into the restaurant. Cheng Su’s mood today was obviously very good. He didn’t notice Ming Yu, but Ming Yu looked at him for a long time with narrowed eyes.

His mood was so good. It seemed like he knew what was happening in Huaxia?

After Cheng Su’s endorsement went live yesterday, Zeng Shu immediately took the opportunity to contact the major media and issued a press release. He also hired some navy to create a hot topic on the Internet.

Zeng Shu directly passed 90 points and scored 100 points. Once Luo Ru told this to Ming Yu, he expressed his appreciation for Zeng Shu’s strength.

But after the appreciation, Ming Yu shook his head and asked, “Sister Luo, did his endorsement really go online yesterday?”

Luo Ru also sighed. “Yes, it was just yesterday.”

Both of them looked at each other and smiled helplessly.

Yesterday, Zhao Rui saw that Ming Yu’s shooting process was very good and returned home to deal with other things. If Zhao Rui was present today, he wouldn’t be acting as calmly as Ming Yu and Luo Ru. Rather, he would be shouting in horror. “How did Zeng Shu calculate the timing? It came online one day earlier than our ‘Smoke’ perfume!!”

Yes, this evening, Ming Yu’s endorsement of the ‘Nidelan Smoke’ perfumes would be launched in Huaxia.

But Ming Yu’s helpless smile wasn’t due to giving up. It was because he felt that Cheng Su unexpectedly colliding with him would end up with Cheng Su’s sadness.

It wasn’t that he didn’t believe in Cheng Su. Rather, Ming Yu believed in Nidelan’s PR methods and his own strength.

During the recording of the show, Cheng Su was still indifferent to Ming Yu despite being in vigorous spirits. Ming Yu was the same as the previous day, focusing on playing games and shooting the program.

Zeng Shu and the director had probably made an agreement. During the second day of shooting, the director specifically gave a lot of highlights to Cheng Su, making him the most shining presence. On the other hand, Du Ruo didn’t care about such things. She simply smiled at Ming Xiaoyu with a deep look in her eyes, making him feel creeped out.

Du Ruo’s biggest reason for participating in this program was entertainment and leisure. She somewhat had a desire to enter the entertainment industry. However, she was still thinking about it and chose this reality TV show to test the waters. Du Ruo still wasn’t sure if she wanted to cross this line, so she just played the games. There was no other meaning.

The first day of filming made Du Ruo quite interested. On the second day, Du Ruo became keenly aware of the program’s atmosphere shift towards Cheng Su.

This made Du Ruo feel curious. ‘Ming Xiaoyu, what would you do?’

Du Ruo didn’t believe Ming Yu when he said there was nothing big between him and Cheng Su. If there was nothing big, why would Cheng Su secretly look at him with those cold eyes? Even Zhao Rui wouldn’t believe it (Wait, Du Ruo didn’t know Zhao Rui)!

But some people, even if you didn’t want to provoke him, he would rush to provoke you!

In the ‘Quick Reply’ game recorded in the afternoon, all the invited guests were models from the fashion industry. Therefore, the director announced that the questions would be related to the fashion industry.

As soon as these words were heard, the group consisting only of the regular guests protested. “Director! Don’t be so shameless! Each of the three groups has a model. Ming Xiaoyu’s group has two! It isn’t fair to us!”

Instead of waiting for the director to answer, Du Ruo raised a hand and said with a laugh. “I believe in Ming Xiaoyu’s strength. I won’t answer any questions, how about that?”

The group’s eyes immediately shone and they quickly agreed to Du Ruo’s proposal.

Who was Du Ruo? Ming Xiaoyu, Cheng Su and Liu Qian couldn’t be compared to her!

Removing this golden thigh, it was a great benefit!

As for Ming Xiaoyu…

“Ming Xiaoyu, Sister Du believes in your strength. You should take first place, haha.”

Ming Xiaoyu, “……（→＿→）”

Wasn’t this pushing him to the edge of a mountain?

The game was set up for the participants to rush to answer. After the final answer, the team with the lowest score would receive a terrible punishment while the first, second and third place teams would get different number of points.

Du Ruo just casually said that Ming Xiaoyu should take first. She had no idea that his child could do it at this level. Before half the questions had been asked, their score had already left the other teams far behind.

Du Ruo, “（⊙口⊙）!!”

Everyone: “（/=＿=）/～┴┴”

Can’t you give us some room to live?

Once the game was halfway through, Ming Yu’s group had 54 points, Liu Qian’s group had 12 points, Cheng Su’s group had 14 points and the last group simply gave up. They straightforwardly received 0 points.

Ming Yu’s score was too exaggerated. This could create a first-class program effect. However, the director considered it before adding a lot of questions that Cheng Su must know.

The speed at which Cheng Su pressed the answer button wasn’t slower than Ming Yu. Slowly, Cheng Su’s score caught up to Ming Yu’s by the time the game was almost over. There was only a one point gap between them.

There were two questions left. Thanks to the program’s assistance, Cheng Su looked at Ming Xiaoyu with a lot of confidence, sending him a provocative look. In this regard, Ming Xiaoyu looked down at his fingers and didn’t pay Cheng Su any attention.

“The second to last question is here! Excuse me! The famous French model Alice Crandall. In 2014, which brand of perfume did she endorse?”

“Beep–”

“Beep–”

The two sounds were heard at the same time! The host looked at the time, gritted his teeth and looked at Cheng Su. He said, “Cheng Su pressed the button first. Cheng Su, do you know the answer?”

Seeing this, it was obvious that Ming Yu was the first to press the answer button. HIs eyes slightly narrowed and there was a touch of a dangerous smile on his face.

On the other side, Cheng Su had simply thought about pressing the answer button. Now that he was asked this question, he suddenly stopped and paused for a long time before answering tentatively. “The brand… is it the French ‘Cherilt?’”

The host heard this and looked at Cheng Su for a long time with surprised eyes. This surprised appearance made Cheng Su mistakenly think he was right. Thus, he smiled confidently and said, “I know this type of thing. I have read reports related to Cherilt every year.”

His voice wasn’t loud, but it entered straight into Ming Yu’s ears with a smug pride.

But after Cheng Su finished speaking, the host made a strange expression and cried out, “Cheng Su, the answer is wrong!”

Cheng Su had just turned his head to see what the boy beside him look like. But he had only half turned when he heard the host’s words. Cheng Su’s eyes widened with surprise and he looked incredulously at the host. Then he quickly restored his expression and said, “I probably remembered wrong.”

Du Ruo sneered and whispered, “Didn’t he say that he paid attention to Cherilt’s news every year?”

Ming Yu smiled without speaking.

On the other side, the host sighed and looked at Ming Yu. “Now, Ming Xiaoyu, do you know what the answer is?”

At these words, everyone’s eyes focused on MIng Yu. In particular, in Cheng Su’s eyes, the youth seemed to give off a complex and deep atmosphere.

Under the eyes of the crowd, the handsome youth’s lips curved. The sun shone on his hair, giving it a golden tone as he calmly replied, “The famous French model Alice Crandall. In 2014, she endorsed the perfume called the ‘Dream Series’ and the brand is—”

“Rayleigh Cano.”
