If she acknowledged it and Su Yu denied it, she would be super embarrassed. On the other hand, if she denied it and Su Yu acknowledged it, Su Yu would be embarrassed.
Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Han Yueyao decided to keep their private agreement private.
However, her vague answer made everyone suspect her relationship with Su Yu more so than ever. Soon, the entire company thought that something was going on between herself and Su Yu.
After calming herself down, Han Yueyao sent Su Yu a WeChat message; she was too scared to talk to him on the phone.
“President Su, what’s with the reality show?”
Su Yu was playing on his phone when he received the message. An was driving, and they were on their way to eat pan-fried buns.
Ever since he was discharged, Su Yu began eating a lot more and enjoyed life a lot more. This near-death experience seemed to be an eye-opener for him.
“Imperial Star just issued a statement, didn’t you read it?”
“But why me?” Han Yueyao’s question wasn’t out of the norm.
“Because you’re the best candidate,” Su Yu answered.
“But everyone was saying how Gao Yaruo was the best candidate.”
“Wait, do you not want to go? If you don’t, I can send Gao Yaruo.”
“No, wait, that’s not what I said. I want to go.”
“Then that’s that. You’d better practice more, don’t embarrass Imperial Star.”
“President Su, is this show rigged?”
“Rigged?” Su Yu was confused by Han Yueyao’s weird question.
“I mean, will whoever gives more money to the channel win?”
“What in the world is that brain of yours thinking about all the time? Do you really think I’ll give money to the channel? If you’re disqualified after the first round, it means you suck.”
“Calm down, President Su, I was just wondering.”
“It’s not rigged,” Su Yu responded with annoyance.
“Good, then I can participate in this fair competition with content.” Han Yueyao sighed in relief.
“Fair? In your dreams… you’re the least famous person in the show, you don’t even have one dan! Trust me, it’s not a fair competition… your competitor, Xiaohua, has millions of followers!”
“I didn’t want to compete with her, I’m just happy that I got to participate. Also, the company’s not sending me there for free, right? Am I getting paid?” Han Yueyao’s eyes lit up at the thought of money.
“Wait, so I’m sending you to a reality show, and I have to pay you for it?” Su Yu wasn’t sure whether to laugh or cry.
“Yes, that’s the case, no?”
“Yes, it is, happy? The show is filmed once a week, I arranged dancer teachers and a temporary assistant for you, they’ll help you out. The company is paying you 10,000 yuan per episode.”
“What if I win the competition?”
“Then you get a one million yuan prize. If you don’t win, then you’ll be right back here, photocopying documents and getting coffee for people.
“Deal!” Han Yueyao responded with excitement. She was ecstatic, especially after her talk with Su Yu.
Then, she picked up her phone and called Huo Mian to tell her the good news.
Of course Huo Mian was incredibly happy for her as well. After their brief conversation, Huo Mian went on rounds.
“Vice Director Huo, bad news… one of our patients went missing!”
“Which one?” Huo Mian was surprised; South Side offered such good services that patients rarely ran away.
“Ms. Zeng, she was staying in the VIP room.”
“Was she discharged?”
“No, she was still in her room this morning, but when one of the nurses went to administer her medicine at noon, she wasn’t there anymore. As of right now, she’s still missing.”
