Chapter 15

The production team quickly tidied up and resumed the broadcast. In the end, Xiao Xiao made an effort and managed to cook mushroom soup in a modern kitchen. She made creamy mushroom soup, using the only wild mushroom she had picked earlier that I had deemed safe to eat. However, this mushroom had an extremely unpleasant odor, especially when mixed with the fishy-smelling animal cream. For people with sensitive noses, the smell was almost like a poisonous gas. But unfortunately, she couldn’t smell it due to her blocked nose. When she finally brought the soup out, blushing with excitement, and handed it to the man with the most sensitive sense of smell on the show, the reaction was immediate. To be honest, my brother’s pupils almost shook. Gu Jin, as the president of a hundred-billion-dollar listed company, had encountered numerous business assassinations, kidnappings, and all sorts of other threats. That’s also why he never wanted to reveal his sister’s identity. But this time, it was the most plain and unassuming of all. Gu Jin almost doubted if she was a fool secretly sent by a competitor who disliked him. He immediately took his sister away from Xiao Xiao: "Stay away from this fool, don’t let her affect you. You still have research to do." The viewers were almost laughing themselves to tears. They made a meme out of Gu Jin’s shocked expression, spreading it with the caption "There’s always someone trying to harm me." After hearing my explanation about the mushrooms, Xiao Xiao actually turned her anger towards me: "It’s your fault for not being clear! You must hate me and deliberately didn’t say anything. "You must think that if you make Gu Jin lose interest in me, you’ll have a chance. Well, let me tell you, dream on. You’re just a country…." My brother couldn’t take it anymore. His face darkened, and with a cold, expressionless look in his eyes, it was as if a storm was brewing: "Miss Xiao, be careful with your words." Just those few words, and Xiao Xiao immediately shut up. She feared the look in Gu Jin’s eyes, as if she were an ant that could be crushed under his foot with a single step. In fact, if he wanted to ruin someone, it would only take a word from him. Finally, some fans in the barrage couldn’t hold it in anymore. "I’m getting second-hand embarrassment. How many times did the sister say this mushroom was poisonous, that it would taste weird? Xiao Xiao just wouldn’t listen and thought people were trying to harm her." "Xiao Bao’s character is really off today, I’m not enjoying this anymore, I might unfollow her." "By the way, does anyone else think Xiao Xiao’s intelligence is nowhere near matching Gu Jin’s sister? It feels like she and Gu Jin are actually family. They kind of look alike." By the time the episode was halfway through, Xiao Xiao’s character was basically ruined. The director, aware of Chen Qing’s family power, hurriedly ended the broadcast. However, when he returned to his office, he was informed that he no longer had a position. Someone more prestigious had already taken over. "Why? Now that it’s popular, they’re coming to pick the fruit? Where were they when I started?" He ranted, sending messages to his industry friends nonstop. The director was trying to figure out who was behind this. But everyone seemed to be deliberately ignoring him. Only one senior who had once helped him gave him a little hint. "You didn’t know? The show was acquired yesterday. The biggest investor changed. "Old Zhao, you offended the wrong person, and that’s why you’re out. "This industry is like this, if you don’t open your eyes, you won’t survive anywhere."
