Qu Feng’s calling her “Youbao” made Sheng Ziyou shudder. So she asked helplessly, “Brother Qu, what’s wrong?”
He approached her, stood beside her, and lowered his voice: “I’ve received an offer for a script, and I really like it, but it would be best if the female lead was suitable.”
“Hmm? So?” Sheng Ziyou raised an eyebrow, somewhat puzzled.
“Do you want to give it a try? When I saw the script, you were the first person I thought of. Seriously, this role is tailor-made for you!” Qu Feng winked.
Sheng Ziyou was speechless. Before she was familiar with Qu Feng, she only thought that this top-tier celebrity had a lot of charisma.
Little did she know that after getting to know him better, she would realize that he was just a simpleton, and quite mischievous.
“What role?” Sheng Ziyou asked.
“A domineering female CEO.” Qu Feng slowly opened his mouth and uttered these three words.
Sheng Ziyou: “…”
After a moment, she said, “The domineering girlfriend?”
Qu Feng looked shocked: “You know?!”
“I’ve already accepted it. My agent is in talks with the production team.” Sheng Ziyou shrugged.
Qu Feng was delighted and nodded: “I knew it suited you! As expected, the director and I have the same good eye!”
Sheng Ziyou looked helpless, shook her head, and walked into the villa first.
Qu Feng didn’t rush inside. He first went back to his car and spoke to his manager.
“Let’s accept that role. You talk to the production team. As long as the female lead is Sheng Ziyou, I’ll play it.”
The agent was speechless. Could it be that his artist had taken a liking to Sheng Ziyou?
She thought for a moment, then tentatively said, “Qu Qu… you’re not really ready for a relationship yet…”
“What are you thinking?!” Qu Feng widened his eyes and waved his hand.
His agent looked like she was saying, “Don’t lie to me,” and “I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it.”
Qu Feng: “…”
He felt he couldn’t explain himself anymore. This was his agent; even if there was a misunderstanding, she wouldn’t go around spreading rumors, so there was no need to rush to explain.
So, after thinking for a moment, he turned and walked towards the villa, catching up with Sheng Ziyou.
He only agreed to star in the show because if the female lead wasn’t Sheng Ziyou, the chances of the show being a hit would be 50%, but if the female lead was Sheng Ziyou, the show would be 100% a hit.
He certainly didn’t want his drama to flop, and idol dramas were basically all about romance, so of course he needed a pleasing female lead to act with him!
Qu Feng couldn’t forget how Sheng Ziyou managed to pass the third challenge all by herself when she participated in the variety show “Come Challenge”. Her courage to jump down and the bright smile she showed when she successfully stood on the foam mat were just too charming!
Including the fourth level, Sheng Ziyou maintained a serious expression, calmly deducing how to solve the puzzle, and quickly passed the fourth level, truly embodying the image of a female CEO.
And even though Ms. Qi is such a difficult female artist, she actually praised Sheng Ziyou twice after the show, which showed how charming she was.
Therefore, Qu Feng was certain that if Sheng Ziyou were to star in this drama, her charm would be off the charts.
With a great script, a great female lead, and a great director, how could he not join such a team?
But clearly his agent didn’t understand him and had misunderstood him…
Is there any interest in Sheng Ziyou?
Qu Feng shrugged, dismissing the strange idea.
As he pondered this, he and Sheng Ziyou walked into the villa’s lobby.
The trainees had been there for a while. Some were playing around, some were preparing ingredients, and some had disappeared somewhere.
“Wow, Teacher Qu! Teacher Sheng!”
“Hello, Teacher Qu! Hello, Teacher Sheng!”
Upon seeing the two enter, the students greeted them in unison.
There were obviously other students in the backyard, and they all ran over as well.
Qu Feng’s arrival proved that the rankings and arrangements were about to be announced.
“Everyone’s making such a big splash, isn’t it fun?”
“Fun!” they exclaimed in unison.
“Let me count if everyone’s here yet?” Qu Feng held up his finger and started counting people.
The production crew’s cameras were placed everywhere, and the staff stood at the entrance watching.
No matter how unserious Qu Feng may be in his daily life, he was quite reliable and serious when it came to serious matters.
Sheng Ziyou stepped aside and stood next to Wen Shanshan, who looked displeased.
With so many cameras on her, Wen Shanshan didn’t dare say anything, even if she wanted to make a sarcastic remark about Sheng Ziyou.
When she and Qu Feng walked in side by side, it really irritated Wen Shanshan.
That Sheng Ziyou! She even went so far as to flirt with Qu Feng!
Wen Shanshan was so angry that she ground her teeth.
Of course, Sheng Ziyou was unaware of Wen Shanshan’s thoughts, and even if she had, she wouldn’t have cared.
“Where are Gu Yuzheng and Feng Yuanxuan?” Qu Feng asked, puzzled.
At this moment, Gu Yuzheng, Ji Ran, Feng Yuanxuan, Lin Yidong, Jing Xianglei, Fu Jiahuan, and Fan Jiaxu ran down from upstairs and quickly rejoined the team.
“Where had you gone?” Qu Feng asked with a smile, his voice filled with curiosity, not reproach.
Lin Yidong scratched his head and subconsciously looked at Sheng Ziyou. Ji Ran tugged at him from the side, and Lin Yidong hurriedly looked away and looked at Qu Feng.
He looked like he was hiding some little secret, which made Ji Ran so angry that he kept pulling him.
Gu Yuzheng replied, “I was playing with them upstairs just now and didn’t hear anything.”
He smiled somewhat embarrassedly, looking apologetic.
Qu Feng, of course, didn’t blame them. He simply said, “It’s alright, it’s still early.”
His gaze swept over everyone, and he smiled: “You don’t have any tasks today, you can just relax and have fun here all day, are you happy?”
“Happy—” The students always cheered.
Qu Feng then changed the subject: “However, every half hour, any tutor is qualified to collect the scores of a designated student…”
“Huh?” Not only the students, but also the four mentors were somewhat surprised.
This was an arrangement they didn’t know about; it seems to have been decided by the production team on short notice, hence the notification from Qu Feng.
“So, if you want to know your results, don’t forget to bring our lovely mentors along when you’re having fun!” Qu Feng shouted with a smile.
“Good–“
The four mentors looked helpless.
“Students, now you can go have some fun!!!” Qu Feng clapped his hands and dismissed the students.
With so many cameras on camera and the mentors all there, none of the trainees went out to play; they were all mostly helping with cooking and grilling.
As soon as the group dispersed, Qu Feng walked over to Sheng Ziyou, and the five of them exchanged pleasantries for a while before heading out with a bunch of cameras to see what the trainees were doing.
The group went to the kitchen first, where there were only three people.
Lu He, who had an exceptionally refined appearance and always seemed to be completely clueless, was actually a master chef!
“Lu He, you can actually cook?” Sheng Ziyou gave a thumbs up, her face full of praise.
Lu He scratched his head a little embarrassedly, smiled and said, “My family owns a restaurant, and I’ve been cooking since I was a child.”
Since his last apology, the boy’s ranking had been declining, so he had lost a lot of weight, and he had become much more silent.
The once lively boy seemed to have not smiled in a long time.
“Wow, that’s amazing!” Qu Feng exclaimed.
As the group approached, they discovered that Lu He was preparing ingredients, including some seasonings for stewing.
“You want to make soup?” Ran Youqing leaned closer to take a look; he was clearly someone who could cook.
Lu He nodded: “Yes, it’s still early for lunch, let’s start simmering the soup first.”
“Chestnut stewed chicken[1]?” Ran Youqing pointed to Long Mu and Tang Yanhao, who were peeling chestnuts next to him.
“Mmm! Chestnut stewed chicken is super delicious!” That was Long Mu’s reply.
Sheng Ziyou glanced at Tang Yanhao next to Long Mu in surprise. Because of the performance, she hadn’t noticed the students outside of Gu Yuzheng’s group for a long time. When she suddenly saw them today, she realized that many of them had lost weight and were even more silent.
Tang Yanhao, a student who always loved to show off and was usually very active, was acting strangely today. He not only didn’t speak, but also seemed quite silent.
She tilted her head slightly and noticed that the boy’s eyes were still a little swollen, obviously from crying all night.
It seems… our ranking has fallen behind…
Sheng Ziyou actually had a pretty good impression of Tang Yanhao. Although he loved to show off, he was also very obedient.
If you tell him to keep some of it, he will keep some.
Online reviews had always been mixed, with many haters and many fans.
Moreover, he was quite capable and a well-rounded individual.
If he got eliminated today, Sheng Ziyou would feel a little melancholy.
However, the eighteen remaining teenagers were all extremely strong, and six of them would be eliminated today.
Not only was Tang Yanhao in danger, but Fan Jiaxu was also in danger, and even… Lin Yidong was in danger.
Sheng Ziyou shook her head, putting aside her complicated emotions, and followed Qu Feng and the others to the backyard.
