For the past few days in the treasure chest hunt, Tong Nian Zhe either deliberately provoked her or ignored her.
Not only was he stubborn to the extreme, but he also constantly exposed her lies and acting.
Although she managed to smooth things over each time, her agent had contacted her today, stating that those comments were very detrimental to her, and her official fan base had even decreased.
She hadn't been in the industry for long and didn't have any particularly solid works yet, so she needed to be careful about her advancement.
Especially Tong Nian Zhe's fans, who were notoriously sharp-tongued and skilled at arguments, were far superior to her own fans.
If Tong Nian Zhe's fans continued to control the comment section, it would be even more disadvantageous for her.
Not only were bystanders indifferent to her, thinking she was calculating, but even her own fans were starting to waver. This wouldn't do!
Therefore, Qiu Xin Xue's visit today, ostensibly to discuss activities, was actually to seek reconciliation with Tong Nian Zhe.
Even if Tong Nian Zhe was uncooperative, he should at least show her some respect in front of the cameras.
"Not interested. It's already very late. We can discuss anything tomorrow," Tong Nian Zhe said, his eyes full of disdain.
It was late at night, and they weren't that close. Why should she come to his room for a meeting?
Moreover, he found Qiu Xin Xue to be a deceitful person, someone best kept at a distance.
During the day, due to their partnership, he couldn't shake her off.
But at night, she shouldn't push herself in front of him and make him nauseous.
"It won't take much of your time," Qiu Xin Xue's smile began to falter.
This damned Tong Nian Zhe!
If she were to truly mobilize the forces behind her, she would ensure Tong Nian Zhe had nowhere to hide.
But unfortunately, she hadn't yet demonstrated her value. Following the organization's usual practice, she could only play the ostrich for now.
When neither persuasion nor pleading worked, Qiu Xin Xue genuinely felt like killing someone.
Finally, Qiu Xin Xue could only force a smile and wave her hand, "Then, get some rest early."
With that, she unwillingly walked away. Just as she turned the corner, Qiu Xin Xue heard voices talking behind her.
They sounded familiar.
Qiu Xin Xue immediately hid, took out her phone, and pointed it at the two people who were talking.
"Not asleep yet?" Xia Qing Tian said with a smile, "I was just thinking of chatting with you."
"Chat?" Upon hearing this, Tong Nian Zhe immediately understood that Xia Qing Tian wanted to talk about Ji Mei Na's matter. He took a step aside, "Come in."
Seeing Xia Qing Tian invited into the room by Tong Nian Zhe, Qiu Xin Xue nearly ground her teeth to dust.
How could this Xia Qing Tian be so despicable!
It wasn't enough that she gave herself away to Ji Jun, and now she was trying to seduce Tong Nian Zhe!
After the door closed, Qiu Xin Xue paused the video recording.
With a cold snort, Qiu Xin Xue turned and returned to her own room. After careful consideration, Qiu Xin Xue anonymously sent both video files to Lü Song Tao.
She knew Lü Song Tao would take actions that would satisfy her.
Meanwhile, in the study of room 2701 in Xiaoyao Pavilion residential area.
Mobius, seeing the intercepted video files, frowned slightly and double-clicked to open them.
Watching the content of the videos, Mobius's face immediately turned grim.
He shouldn't have let that girl participate in that darn dating reality show!
Fortunately, he had been keeping an eye on Qiu Xin Xue and Lü Song Tao beforehand and had made preparations.
Otherwise, if these two video files had truly fallen into the wrong hands, Xia Qing Tian would have been unable to explain herself.
Thinking this, Mobius skillfully began to operate. On one hand, he destroyed the intercepted video files; on the other hand, he initiated a reverse virus control, directly causing the source device of the sender to crash, clearing the target file source.
Even if the phone could be repaired later, these two videos would disappear.
After handling the matter, Mobius thought about it and decided to call Xia Qing Tian.
To his surprise, both calls went unanswered.
Mobius felt a surge of panic, even having the urge to drive to the dating show's filming location immediately.
Fortunately, just as he was changing his clothes, Xia Qing Tian called back.
"Hello," Xia Qing Tian asked curiously, "Mobius? Why are you calling me all of a sudden?"
"It's nothing," hearing Xia Qing Tian's voice, Mobius felt much better. He put the car keys back and said, "Are you busy?"
"No, I just went to see Tong Nian Zhe," Xia Qing Tian paused before adding, "Tong Nian Zhe is a guest on the same show."
"Yes, I know," Mobius then asked further, "Did you need to see him for something?"
"Yes, there was something," Xia Qing Tian sighed inwardly.
Tong Nian Zhe, that blockhead, had no idea how to create opportunities. Even though he and Ji Mei Na were in different groups, he could still engineer an encounter.
Seeing that Xia Qing Tian didn't want to elaborate, Mobius cleared his throat and asked, "Is everything going smoothly over there? Do you have… do you have any male guests you like?"
"No," Xia Qing Tian replied bluntly, "But I've made some good friends."
After a pause, Xia Qing Tian pursed her lips and asked, "Do you… do you think I should consider these male guests?"
"You shouldn't," Mobius immediately gave a negative answer, then added, "According to your company contract, you cannot date right now."
"Oh…" This was clearly not the answer Xia Qing Tian wanted to hear, but she didn't pursue it further. She just chuckled and changed the subject, also boasting about her gold bars, "They're so heavy. I'll let you feel them next time."
"Okay," Mobius said with a slight smile.
After chatting for a while longer, Xia Qing Tian hung up the phone, tossed her phone aside, and collapsed into her coffin bed, her mood becoming increasingly complex.
It seemed the system's previous hints were correct.
Given Mobius's current attitude, even if she confessed, she would only receive a friend card.
Never mind. She should focus on finishing the filming of this variety show properly.
Men only hinder her drawing speed.
Prioritize career, deal with other things later.
Having come to this realization, Xia Qing Tian immediately got up to wash up and prepare for bed.
On the other side, Mobius sat alone in his study, looking at the screen and the piles of projects on his desk, his brow furrowed.
Tonight, his behavior had been somewhat abnormal and impulsive.
These were things that shouldn't happen.
If Xia Qing Tian hadn't called back, he might have become even more erratic.
His heart, which he thought would no longer fluctuate for the people and events of this world, was now flustered again because of Xia Qing Tian.
Mobius clenched his fists at his sides, his eyes devoid of their usual indifference and composure.
At the same time, Qiu Xin Xue, who was about to check her phone one last time before bed, was stunned.
What was wrong with her phone?
It had been working fine before, why had it suddenly broken!
This shouldn't be happening!
