Ming Shu turned back to Qiao Yu with a smile; the latter’s mouth right then could be stuffed with a huge duck egg. She spread out her hands. “What did I tell you?”

Qiao Yu swallowed. Boss Jiang, you’re not reserved at all!

Jiang Wang thought, R eserved, what is reserved? I can even give up my dignity to get this girl, do I care about being reserved?

But what does she mean?

Seeing that Ming Shu didn’t do anything else and just went back to Qiao Yu, Jiang Wang felt a little depressed.

In broad daylight, she asked him if he liked her, he answered yes, and then she just walked away?

Was she making a fool out of him?

Jiang Wang looked at the surrounding onlookers. Stunned for a while, he could do nothing but fume in his heart while following behind Ming Shu.

Qiao Yu kept looking back at him as if he had found a new species.

“Mr. Jiang, we can’t let you in.”

Jiang Wang was blocked outside backstage and he could only watch Qiao Yu and Ming Shu disappear among the working staff.

Why is it so hard to get a girl!

Lord Nine, you really don’t need to refer to the experience summary by the department?

Jiang Wang had some inner struggle and then breathed into his belly, “No, a genius doesn’t need that stuff.”

If he really read the reference, he would be mocked by all the others when he went back.

As a genius, I refuse!

…

…

Ming Shu saw Xu Youran backstage, which was not surprising. Xu Youran was a model, and it was very normal to see her on such occasions.

But Xu Youran’s designer was someone new to Ming Shu.

“Who is that.”

Qiao Yu was instructing people to put on makeup for Ming Shu; hearing this, he looked over at the designer and snorted in dislike. “He’s Chang Feng, a copycat. Why do you care about him, come, look ahead.”

“A copycat can come here?”

“That one is quite capable.” Qiao Yu grunted and his tone became a little unusual; he got closer to Ming Shu, whispering, “He has a poor reputation, but rumors say he did a good job in bed and got someone supporting him behind the scenes.”

Ming Shu sighed. “It seems talent is unreliable in every circle.”

Qiao Yu was about to comment, but then he heard Ming Shu continue, “So I’d better rely on my beauty.”

Qiao Yu: “…”

How come his childhood friend became so narcissistic?

Ming Shu went to change clothes and Xu Youran happened to come out. She wore a coat outside, through which a gauzy dress could be vaguely seen, but the style was unknown.

Xu Youran felt depressed and disgusted. “Why are you everywhere.”

“Because of you.”

If there were a loving BGM playing right now, it would be very touching.

But there wasn’t.

Hatred appeared abruptly in the bottom of Xu Youran’s eyes. “Su Man, what’s wrong with you? If there’s something wrong with you, just go see a doctor, why do you always have to target me?”

“Because you’re cute.” Because others couldn’t get me Hatred Points… Jiang Wang, that fool, he fumes but won’t hate me.

So I can only come to you. I’m doing all this for my snacks.

Xu Youran almost choked on her anger.

I’m calling her sick, but she isn’t angry, and she even praises me as cute? Psychopath!

“Su Man, I remember you’re not a model, right?” Xu Youran suddenly changed the topic. “When we get on stage, you should be careful not to make a fool of yourself.”

Ming Shu smiled even brighter. “Relax, if that happens, I’ll take you down with me.”

I know about the principle that dying with a “companion” is better than dying alone.

Ming Shu’s smiling face irritated Xu Youran very much. She couldn’t outwit her and this place was not suitable for a fight.

She clenched her hands with a malicious gaze. Su Man, you will pay for this.

Xu Youran then left with a graceful posture.

…

Ming Shu had been forced by Qiao Yu to cram some expertise.

But Qiao Yu was still worried, and he kept talking about matters that needed attention in her ears.

Ming Shu was a little annoyed and she threw away the bag of chips. “Right, earlier you said that if Jiang Wang liked me, you’ll cross-dress and do a livestream. Today is your chance, why don’t you go up onstage.”

Qiao Yu immediately admitted his mistake and coaxed Ming Shu.

But when he turned around, he couldn’t help murmuring to himself, “Jiang Wang must’ve taken the wrong medicine.”

Why did he answer that he liked my childhood friend in front of everyone?

There must be something wrong.

Xu Youran went on stage prior to Ming Shu. Apparently, that designer had also made a great effort, and as soon as Xu Youran appeared, many audience members exclaimed in amazement.

Xu Youran’s model walk was very professional and gained high scores from all the judges.

“Humph, they must have bought off those judges. Little Man, don’t worry, you’ll shine in front of those judges. Ugh, my little ancestor, stop eating, it’s our turn soon. Lipstick, lipstick, gloss her lips, quickly.”

Qiao Yu kept talking. After glossing her lips again, he pushed Ming Shu to the waiting area.

Xu Youran walked off the stage. The way she looked at Ming Shu seemed to be saying that she had already won.

Ming Shu: “…” Wake up, my fake female protagonist, I’m not competing with you!

“Next let’s welcome Qiao Yu…”

The host was announcing the names now. Qiao Yu said two more sentences to Ming Shu hurriedly and then walked onto the stage.

Ming Shu took off the coat and revealed the dress beneath.

Other waiting models all showed looks of surprise. The clothes on Ming Shu were somewhat Ming-Dynasty style. The clothing was exquisite and with pure white as the base, which was embroidered with dark patterns and decorated in red.

Classical background music sounded, and the spotlight was on her. Ming Shu stepped forward in the slowly rising mist.

With the skirt’s hemline floating, it was like a blooming lotus for each of her steps.

Anyone could tell that Ming Shu was not walking professionally, but this didn’t reduce any of her attraction.

As Ming Shu arrived at the front of the stage and posed, she faced Jiang Wang who was sitting in the front row and with his arms crossed over his chest. Bodyguards and assistants stood behind him, which made him look like a domineering boss.

But right now Jiang Wang’s eyes were filled with the shining Ming Shu.

He seemed to see heaven. As long as he reached out, he may touch the south-sky gate.

Jiang Wang lowered his head to avoid meeting with Ming Shu’s gaze. But within no more than two seconds, he couldn’t help peeping up to take a glance at her.

He looked at her because he needed to know his mission target. Right.

It seemed Ming Shu gave a smile in his direction, then she turned and walked back.

Qiao Yu’s ability was beyond all doubt, and combined with Ming Shu’s outstanding beauty, they really caused a sensation.

But when the judges gave scores and the audience voted, the scene became a little awkward.

The judges all gave low scores, according to which Ming Shu probably couldn’t even survive past the first round.

And the votes of the audience weren’t even more than the pass line.

Ming Shu: “…”

Which idiot dared to play a dirty trick blatantly like this?

Ming Shu really admired this person’s boldness.

Qiao Yu burst out immediately, “Anyone who is not blind can tell what level I am, your dirty trick is probably the most cheeky one I’ve ever seen. You’re really doing a great job.”

The judges’ faces all turned pale. They knew Qiao Yu was excellent enough to go to the final round.

“Next.” But under the pressure, they had to continue the race and intended to knock out Qiao Yu.

Ming Shu stood beside the disgruntled Qiao Yu, smiling, and proposed kindly, “Judges, did you have any problem just now, or do you want to give the scores again?”

“Right! You must rescore! Consider carefully and give reasonable scores.” Qiao Yu stood akimbo and began to threaten them directly. “I advise you not to save a little but lose a lot.”

These judges didn’t seem to know Qiao Yu’s background. But they did hear something about Ming Shu as she was gossiped about a lot in the news recently.

But the order was given from their superior, what else could they do?

“Are you threatening the judges?” someone among the judges questioned. “Your works doesn’t match our theme. Get off the stage now and don’t talk nonsense, or you’ll be driven out.”
