To think about it, these people were the experts in their own fields, be it geology, meteorology, or biology. If you placed them in the wild, wouldn’t that be the perfect place for them?
They did not understand why the production team had to include six other unnecessary guests in the variety show. All these celebrities and amateurs had no experience and knowledge about living in the wild. Therefore, the experts were certain that these guests would definitely drag them down when it came to completing the tasks and missions.
On the other hand, the people in the celebrity group were equally very frustrated, as this was a variety show and not an academic seminar or event after all. A variety show would lie within the field of entertainment, so why should they be led by those in the expert group? Besides that, if the experts were all so arrogant, why had they even bothered to partic.i.p.ate in the show? Did they really need the money?
Were their lives too boring that they had to seek some of these adventures to fill their mundane lives?
Both the expert team and celebrity team were secretly displeased with their opposing team. Of course, no one knew about the personal grudge between Jiang Yuning and Xu Beishen at this time. The six people were very courteous and polite when they introduced themselves to one another.
In fact, the production team were already aware that this kind of tension would always exist between the two groups of guests. However, they intentionally ignored the tension and did not take any steps to alleviate it.
This was because contradictions and disagreements were a major aspect of a variety show. The production team understood this aspect very well and would usually use this in their favor to make the tasks and missions that were to be completed by the guests even more complicated and interesting.
Moreover, the celebrity team would usually be underestimated from the start of the program. This time round, the production team was quick to offer Jiang Yuning a chance to partic.i.p.ate as a guest on the variety show because they had already seen the potential and many different talents that Jiang Yuning possessed.
So what if she was a celebrity?
There were many different positive and entertaining celebrities in the entertainment industry and all of these people were equally worthy of respect in their own field.
…
The press conference lasted for more than two hours and all of the guests felt extremely awkward and out of place. Jiang Yuning could tell that the host was trying his very best to ensure the smooth running of the press conference. However, it was a situation that the host would have to go through each time the press conference for a new season of was held.
Jiang Yuning could understand how reluctant the host was to partic.i.p.ate in any event with those arrogant and difficult experts.
No matter how hard he tried, he could never get them to speak up!
“Sister Yuning, the young lady in the expert group is actually very pretty, but she looks so cold and unapproachable,” Jin Mingchen told Jiang Yuning as soon as they got off the stage. “I don’t think I will ever be able to talk to her.”
“Don’t all men find ice princesses very beautiful and attractive?” Jiang Yuning teased him intentionally.
“No, no, no…” Jin Mingchen said as he shook his head. “We like girls who are outgoing and have a lovable personality like you. You are warm when you want to be, and cold when you want to stay away. Hehehe…Sister Yuning, do you like guys who are younger than you?”
Jiang Yuning was stunned for a moment before she laughed and replied, “I like mature men…”
Jin Mingchen showed a sad face and pulled his ear after listening to Jiang Yuning’s answer.
The few of them continued chatting and getting to know each other after they got off stage, but a short while later, the production team suddenly requested for Jiang Yuning and Xu Beishen to go back up on the stage as they wanted to take some pictures of them together. Jiang Yuning did not know if the production team had done this on purpose.
Both Jiang Yuning and Xu Beishen went back up on the stage with perfect smiles on their faces. Though both of them were equal when it came to appearances, there was a huge difference in terms of their temperaments.
“Miss Jiang and Miss Xu, please look over here and smile. Both of you are going to be the faces of the next season of our variety show.”
Although they both took the picture together, they did not look at each another at all. After the photograph was taken, both of them quickly stepped off the stage and returned to their original seats.
How did Xu Beishen look like?
Jiang Yuning’s facial features were very perfect and symmetrical. She had a very delicate and exquisite look, and every inch of her skin looked soft and tender. When she donned a traditional Chinese outfit, Jiang Yuning looked so perfect that she almost resembled a deity. Therefore, no one would ever get tired of looking at her.
What about Xu Beishen then? Her facial features were also perfect and symmetrical. However, she had an edge that made her look more distinct and unapproachable. Although she was very beautiful, she looked extremely cold and unapproachable, just like a rose covered with thorns.
The two of them were supposed to be photographed together?
Jiang Yuning had a hunch that the production team was going to use these pictures as one of their gimmick to gain publicity for the new season of the variety show.
“Let’s go. The press conference has officially ended. I have already selected a few drama scripts that I think would suit your preferences. Let’s go back so that we can go over the scripts and decide on your next drama.” After the press conference, Vera walked over to Jiang Yuning and after the expert team left, she quickly whispered, “To be honest, Xu Beishen looks like a very strong candidate.”
“Who are you really working for?” Jiang Yuning asked, clearly unhappy.
“But her personality is not that great. She is not friendly or pleasing to anyone at all. I have a feeling that you are going to abuse her nicely. I think you will be a good match for her,” Vera replied as she was deliberately teasing Jiang Yuning in the first place. “You can be rest a.s.sured that you will always be the best in my heart. After all, your personality is your charm and no one can easily replace that.”
Everything panned out just as Jiang Yuning had already predicted. They had only just attended the press conference in the afternoon but by night time, the production team had already released the posters and came up with all sorts of publicity stunts to promote the upcoming program.
As long as someone searched for the words ‘Jiang Yuning’, all the related articles that would subsequently pop up would always be linked to Xu Beishen.
The netizens could not stop making comparisons between Jiang Yuning and Xu Beishen as soon as the photograph of them posing together was released by the production team.
Xu Beishen was so highly educated while Jiang Yuning had barely made it through high school.
Xu Beishen looked so ordinary, but she was in fact the young lady of the prestigious and wealthy Xu family. Jiang Yuning must be green with envy!
The worse thing was when the netizens started criticizing Jiang Yuning as soon as the photograph was posted on the internet.
[Hahaha. When you put both of them together, Jiang Yuning really looks as though she has no cla.s.s at all!]
[Hahaha. Jiang Yuning has been completely defeated by the university graduate.]
[Miss Xu Beishen is so beautiful and she is actually a university graduate in the field of biology! Even if Jiang Yuning tried, she would never be able to surpa.s.s her in any way.]
[She is the young lady of the Xu family. Did you guys know that her family owns the largest hospital in the whole of Luo City?]
…
“What? Don’t these people know anything about your background at all?” Vera could not help but asked when she saw those judgmental comments and criticisms online. “You are currently a major shareholder of Xiya Hotel. In addition to that, once your mother’s judgment is pa.s.sed in court, Dongheng Enterprise will definitely belong to you. How could Xu Beishen even be compared to you?”
“They are even describing you as a kid who is totally envious of Xu Beishen right now. I am going to give Ku Jie a call so that he can suppress all these comments from these shameless people.”
Jiang Yuning was also very unhappy but she did not want to act recklessly.
“Let Xu Beishen do whatever she wants,” Jiang Yuning replied as she stopped Vera. “It is not really that big of a deal. I will give the production team some face right now. Once the show officially starts, they will know who the real envious person is.”
“Are you really not angry?”
“I have a secret magic weapon that can take all of my anger away,” Jiang Yuning replied as she quickly took out her cell phone to watch one of the videos that she had of Lu Jingzhi. “Whenever I think about how fortunate I am because I can hug and kiss second brother whenever I want while she cannot even get the opportunity to see him, I am already extremely contented and satisfied.”
“It is already late at night. Please do not act like this. Thank you,” Vera replied.
“Sorry, I can’t seem to control myself,” Jiang Yuning replied as she continued staring at her cell phone.
“You might as well look at him in the flesh then,” Vera replied as she used her chin to gesture towards Lu Jingzhi who had just entered the villa. “You will be joining the crew of in three days’ time. I will come and pick you up in the evening.”
“I got it…you can leave now. Go, go, go.”
“I have already left the script on the table for you. I really feel like showing your fans what you are really like,” Vera replied as she sighed. She got up from the sofa and left the villa after greeting Lu Jingzhi respectfully.
Lu Jingzhi took off his coat before he handed it over to Sister Liang. When he saw Jiang Yuning staring at her cell phone so intensely, he asked her immediately, “What are you looking at?”
“I am looking at a really hot and handsome man. He is not wearing a s.h.i.+rt. He is really so appealing.”
Lu Jingzhi was baffled.
Did he not discipline her enough?
Was it time to re-educate her?
