Chapter 919 An Effortless Win

Even though many things had happened the night before, the show had to continue its live broadcast.

It was far more challenging to broadcast a show live than a recorded show because the latter could be edited.

Furthermore, some of the shows could go up to seven or eight hours of recording even though only two hours of the entire recording would be broadcasted.

The two-hour-long clip that was aired, naturally, consisted of the most interesting scenes that would keep the audience at the edge of their seats.

Furthermore, most of the inappropriate actions or speeches of the cast members would be edited out unless the production crew wanted to stir up drama.

However, a live broadcast was a different matter. The netizens would immediately witness what the cast members did in the show.

They would not have a chance to correct themselves.

Ye Meng woke early. She started putting on makeup at half-past six for the recording that would start at seven sharp.

Ye Meng was happy to hear Ning Ran leave, of course. She wanted to make Ning Ran and Liyi Danfeng enemies so that Liyi Danfeng's fans would come after Ning Ran from the start.

Now that Ning Ran was gone, Danfeng and her were the only ones left as cast members. Naturally, they would get more screen time and more chances for others to get to know them.

However, Liyi Danfeng slept late the night before, so she could not wake up early.

When the recording started, Ye Meng was the only one present. Thus, she had the spotlight all to herself, and she was thrilled.

The recording started with Ye Meng cooking porridge in the kitchen. To the camera, Ye Meng said, “Although something unpleasant happened yesterday, we still need to put on a smile for today. I'm going to start making porridge now. When our cute little Danfeng wakes up, she'll get to have some yummy porridge.”

It was too early in the morning, and some of the audience had yet to wake up. Moreover, some were on their way to work and school, so there were not many people in the chatroom.

However, the few netizens who were there praised Ye Meng for her caring demeanor.

Danfeng's fans were especially content with Ye Meng, for the latter was making food for their idol.

Ning Ran was watching the broadcast as well, and she turned to ask Nan Chen, who was reading emails, “Why would anyone watch such a boring show?”

Nan Chen just gave a very direct answer. “It's because there are a lot of boring people in this world. A good example would be this lady here who's watching the show.”

Ning Ran kicked him. “You're the boring guy!”

Right then, Liyi Danfeng woke. It seemed like she was a grumpy person in the morning.

Ye Meng told Liyi Danfeng that she made porridge, but the latter just gave her a look of disdain.

“Prune, who in the world still eats porridge as breakfast? Breakfast nowadays consists of milk, coffee, and a sandwich. Porridge is a staple breakfast of the past—they're meant to be eaten as breakfast for

old people like you!”

Immediately, the netizens began laughing in the chatroom.

Did you hear that? She called her a prune! Danfeng's simply adorable! She's so cool even when she's grumpy in the morning.

Ye Meng's jaw dropped, but she could not find the words to utter out loud.

It had been a long time since her debut, and she had once had glorious days. Alas, time waits for no man, and her fame was going downhill.

Even though Ye Meng hoped to stay young and gain the acknowledgment of the younger audience, her age meant that she needed to buck up her acting skills.

Pretending to stay young was no longer an option.

It was time for her to act her age, and if she improved herself, she would gain more viewers appropriate to her age.

However, if she relied solely on her appearance, the younger celebrities would soon overtake her, and the entertainment industry would leave her behind soon.

Then, it would be tough to survive in the industry.

Ye Meng, who was facing aging issues, was hurt by the way Danfeng called her a prune in front of so many people.

Yet, she did not dare to lose her temper because Liyi Danfeng was not someone she could provoke.

Hence, she squeezed out an awkward smile and said, “I only made it because I thought you liked it. I usually have coffee and a sandwich for breakfast too.”

“Well, I'm not going to eat the porridge you made anyway. Enjoy it yourself, old lady. I'm going to play one round of games on my phone first.”

Again, Liyi Danfeng was calling Ye Meng old. The younger woman then leaned back on the couch and started playing with her mobile game.

Some of the netizens began saying: Even if that old lady invites an old geezer to share the porridge, they're never going to finish that whole pot!

Huh, but doesn't Danfeng like to read? Why is she playing games upon waking up instead of reading?

When Ning Ran saw Ye Meng getting insulted by Liyi Danfeng, she burst out laughing.

“Darn, I finally know why these shows are entertaining and why people would watch them!”

When she turned around, she noticed the look of distaste Nan Chen was casting her.

Ning Ran then mocked herself, “All right, I'm a shallow and boring person too. Are you happy to hear that?”

The show became immensely boring without Ning Ran.

The two people with a massive age gap, vastly different world views, and living routines could not enjoy each other's company.

When Ning Ran was around, they still had a common goal—to target Ning Ran.

However, once Ning Ran was gone, the two of them could only stare at each other without doing anything.

Even Liyi Danfeng kept asking the staff when the filming for the show was going to end, for she was on the verge of collapsing.

The audience was starting to grow impatient too. The market data also showed that more than half of the audience was gone once Ning Ran left the show.

Liyi Danfeng's fans had no one to target when Ning Ran was gone, so they turned their focus to Ye Meng.

They kept talking about how Ye Meng was not taking good care of their idol and how she was too old to have any common topic with Liyi Danfeng.

To sum it up, the show was getting more and more boring, and the fans were venting their anger at Ye Meng and the production crew.

Everything Ye Meng did was wrong, and every arrangement the production crew made was a mistake.

Many of the fans started leaving comments on the show's official account.

Hurry up and end this stupid show!

Succumbing to the pressure, the production crew held an emergency meeting and decided to end the episode earlier than planned.

If they continued, the show would be ruined, and no one would watch the next episode.

Ning Ran was impressed by how Nan Chen had predicted everything.

No wonder he's the CEO. Not only does he have the luck of getting born into a wealthy family, but he also has the capabilities to survive in the corporate world.

Right as the show ended, Ye Meng posted on her Weibo.

Unlike her previous vague posts, her new post was obviously directed to Liyi Danfeng.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

Ye Meng: There really are differences between an artiste and a celebrity. I solemnly apologize to Ms. Ding Mi for my previous bad attitude. She and I are friends, and it was just a joke, but I didn't realize that I'd gone too far. I'm sorry. Ding Mi, I hope we'll be able to work together again. You're a talented artist, and you're unlike certain celebrities who only know how to create drama to garner attention. Love you. XOXO.”

She even tagged Ning Ran and the production crew after posting it, but she did not tag Liyi Danfeng.

What was interesting was that the production crew's official account also reposted Ye Meng's Weibo post. In other words, the production crew shared the same thoughts as Ye Meng.

Still, what Ye Meng had done was a smart move. She was fixing her mistake of crossing Ning Ran without needing to make a direct apology.

Everything was unfolding just like Nan Chen said it would. It was almost as if he was the one who wrote the script.

Ning Ran was impressed.

In no time, those who had cursed at Ning Ran on the internet previously started blaming the early finish of the episode on Liyi Danfeng and Ye Meng.

They said that the two other women were useless. Without Ning Ran, they were incapable of keeping the show interesting.

Strangely, Ning Ran gained a hundred thousand followers on her Weibo account.

Ning Ran snickered when she noticed that. Isn't this an effortless win?
