Dumbness was not the most angering trait.
The most angering trait was being dumb and yet not knowing it, feeling instead that one is smart.
Qiao Luna was a typical example. She was the kind of person who had a good face but not a good brain.
Qiao Luna suddenly became smart for a moment. Her phone was still in Huang Yawen’s hands.
She grabbed Huang Yawen’s hands. “Sister Yawen, I… I know my mistake now, I won’t post anything. I won’t say anything, Sister Yawen, you… please don’t give up on me!”
She had come to Zhong Hang with much difficulty and still had a five-year contract with them.
If Zhong Hang also gave up on her at this juncture, then she’d have no more hope!
Furthermore, she was also really scared that Sun Yiwu and Ji Cheng, as well as Dong Hua Station, would ban her.
Why did she go offend people while she was feeling angry?!
It was Lu Man who had provoked her!
This was all Lu Man’s fault!
Huang Yawen pushed her hand aside. “I’ll have to see your performance.”

On the other side, Lu Man changed out of her performance clothes and took off her makeup, and only then did she bring Hu Zhonghui and He Mengmeng to go with Lu Dongliu to eat.
Chi Xingrui also followed along.
After ordering the dishes, Lu Dongliu jumped right into the topic. “It’s like this: we are getting a headache because of the show’s publicity for this episode.”
“Why?” Lu Man thought for a bit, then understood. “Is it because there are a lot of explosive points during this episode?”
Lu Dongliu could not help but applaud her in his heart.
It was great talking to smart people.
By just hearing the start of the topic, she could already hit the main point.
No wonder Lu Man had been winning against so many people all this while.
Those people like Zhang Lun did not lose for no reason.
As for Qiao Luna’s case, Lu Dongliu could only laugh.
She belonged to the kind of people that did not even have the right to be considered Lu Man’s opponent. They were not good enough for Lu Man to play even one round with.
Lu Dongliu nodded. “That’s right. I did not think that you would be so great, being able to invite Sun Yiwu, Ji Cheng, and Du Lin over. To tell you the truth, before the filming, when you’ve just signed the contract, Lao Chi and I both felt that you would not be able to invite anyone.”
“Don’t be offended please,” Chi Xingrui said in embarrassment.
“I won’t.” Lu Man smiled. “After all, that really is my shortcoming.”
“Ha! What shortcoming! Among everyone in the entertainment industry, who can invite both Sun Yiwu and Ji Cheng at once? Even our station is unable to. Only you can do it, and after you, there’s probably no one else who can do it,” Lu Dongliu said with a smile.
Shortcoming?
Don’t joke!
If it was a shortcoming and she could still invite Sun Yiwu and Ji Cheng, if she did not have a shortcoming, won’t that be crazy?
“Let’s not talk about that. The main reason is that originally, our show was planning on using the fact that this is your first variety show appearance as a point of publicity. Before this, you had not participated in any event, much less variety shows. And because of The Performer, us using you as a publicity point is very suited.”
Lu Dongliu did not know whether to laugh or to cry as he said, “Who could have known that you’d invite Director Sun and Director Ji? The two of them have both not participated in any variety show before. Now there is no need to talk about the fame factor, because our problem is that we don’t know who to promote.”
“No matter who the main publicity point is, if we don’t promote the others, it’d be a waste.”
“But we have a worry,” Chi Xingrui said. “Similar to how Xiao Hu had refused to tell us beforehand whom you’ve invited since she was scared that after Qiao Luna hears about it, she would switch out her guest to deal with you, we are also scared that if we did the publicity early and told people the news, it would cause The Performer to adjust their performing order.”
“Anyway, the show will be aired after it is recorded. Even if they’d already recorded the first episode, they can still record one or two people, and at that time, they can just edit them into the first episode and change out the original guests,” Chi Xingrui said.
