Chapter 125: Going All Out?

Chapter 125: Going All Out?

As soon as Luo Xiaohong sent a message in the group, others began responding one after another.

"Feng, You're Busted: Just got a notice, I'm being pushed to fill in the numbers again."

"Intelligence Bureau Old Shi: Do today's variety shows really need to be so competitive? Can't they survive without it?"

"Zhou Nan's Life Isn't Easy: Heard we're going on the show the day after tomorrow, no rest at all!"

"Luo Wudi: @Jian Li @Huo Xiao, what about you two? Not going on a dating show? Fans are still waiting for some sweet moments from you two!"

Seeing this, a smile curved on Jian Li's lips as his fingers hovered over the keyboard.

"Jian Li: We're going! Let's make them choke on the sugar!"

After sending the message, a bunch of inexplicable emojis flooded the group chat.

Whips cracking, guns firing, forward and backward rolls, and even a headshot emoji...

Except there was no message from Huo Xiao.

Jian Li furrowed his brow and hissed—

Maybe he's not participating this time?

Or maybe,

Is he still upset?

Man, he's really hard to please.

Jian Li stood up from the couch, "Besides the contract, is there anything else?"

Li Lin waved his hand, "No, just get ready. After the Weibo promotion, we'll likely start shooting."

"Alright." Jian Li nodded, slipping his hand into his pocket as he headed out.

Heading straight to the parking lot by elevator, he opened the driver's door and got in.

Torn between starting the car and picking up his phone.

In the end, he opted for the phone.

His fingers flew across the keyboard, "What are you so busy with? Why haven’t you replied to the group chat?"

After sending the message, Jian Li set the phone face down.

Then, time seemed to drag on endlessly.

Finally, after five minutes and thirty-four seconds, the phone vibrated.

He quickly picked it up and scanned the message, "Busy gathering luck."

Jian Li chuckled bitterly, "Is it really necessary to act like this?"

The rhetorical question carried a hint of guilt,

After all, I went to apologize last night,

Aiming to clear up the misunderstanding and remove the barriers between us,

However, not only were the misunderstanding and barriers left unresolved,

New scandal photos emerged.

What was once just a fantasy of staying out overnight,

Now, it’s been confirmed!

No wonder Huo Xiao is still angry; if it were me, I’d be fuming too.

With this in mind, Jian Li mustered the courage to send another message, "How about I compensate you?"

The reply came, "How will you compensate? If it's just a meal, forget it."

"Then you suggest something?" Jian Li asked helplessly.

The typing indicator showed the other person was typing, and after a long pause, a message appeared,

"Take a nude picture and send it to me."

Jian Li: "!!!!"

Pushing it this far, huh?

Aren't you worried about your phone getting hacked?

What if the nudes start flying around?

Oh right, it's my nude photo, not his.

Of course, he isn't afraid!

Jian Li gritted his teeth, "Alright, just wait!"

After sending the message, he started the car and stomped on the gas pedal, speeding out of the parking lot.

I'll really show you everything!

Office of Lu Group.

Hearing the secretary's report, Lu Siqi sneered, "I thought they were so high and mighty, but in the end, they all signed the contract for resources."

He stroked his chin, a sinister gleam in his eyes, "Vendetta Squad, just wait,"

"I'll make sure you all fall flat on your faces on this variety show!"

The secretary's expression flickered with surprise, but he asked calmly, "Chairman Lu, will you also be participating in this variety show?"

"Of course," Lu Siqi said, nodding.

Something I've personally planned, I must carry out myself.

I don't believe it,

At the brink of death, Jian Li, you still won't beg me for help?!

"President Lu?" The secretary stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Lu Siqi's eyes, "Daydreaming again?"

"What?" Lu Siqi came back to reality, instantly annoyed, "What are you talking about? Who’s daydreaming?"

The secretary straightened up, "President Lu, Lu Yuanhang was brutally beaten in that global manhunt, aren't you afraid..."

"This is within the country, and it's my variety show!" Lu Siqi's mouth curled into a disdainful arc, "They won’t dare to act up here!"

The secretary smiled, "Then I wish you a successful start to the filming!"

Lu Siqi nodded, "You can leave now."

......

The buzz around "Super Competition" is intense, with the official Weibo account posting the lineup in their latest update.

Each competitor is highly influential, almost all of them mainstays in their respective variety shows.

The Lu Entertainment trainees, who haven’t debuted or become famous yet, served as the NPCs in the show,

Taking the place of extras, acting as referees, task givers, or key characters in the plot,

This makes the show both visually engaging and professionally produced,

Fans were highly excited and left numerous comments under the official post,

"Ahhhh, the Vengeance Squad is here?!"

"The special ops team from 'City Hunter' is here too? Will we see a game of bandits versus hunters this time?!"

"It’s likely to be a strong alliance, right? After all, they worked really well together last time, almost ganged up on Lu Yuanhang!"

"Not to mention Lu Yuanhang, I almost forgot about this drama king? Is he in jail pedaling the sewing machine now?"

"I don't know if he's locked up, but his brother is definitely joining the variety show."

"Haha, hilarious, just when we need a target, he’s delivering himself to us on a silver platter!"

"Shh—don’t spread it yet, what if Lu Siqi chickens out?!"

As he read these comments, Lu Siqi’s face turned pale, and he sneered coldly.

"Don't celebrate too soon, we don't know who's targeting who yet."

"You're cursing away happily now, but don't come crawling and begging later!"

The secretary, who had just entered with some documents, heard this and paused, "..."

Ha, dreaming pretty big, aren't you?

Yuan Feng was packing his suitcase when Pei Ji came back through the door. He glanced at the suitcase and asked calmly, "Off to film another variety show?"

"Mm-hmm." Yuan Feng sighed, "I don't know what's been happening lately, but there have been so many... jobs, I mean, schedules."

Pei Ji placed his backpack on the sofa and walked over to help.

Seeing this, Yuan Feng quickly stopped him, "Hey, no! I'm still freaked out from last time when you put your underwear in my suitcase!"

Pei Ji smiled, "They're brand new, what are you afraid of?"

"Brand new, but they're huge! I don't want my butt freezing!" Yuan Feng looked up and felt a jolt when he met Pei Ji's gaze.

He saw the dark pupils, filled with complex emotions.

Innocent yet seductive, with a hint of mockery.

"!!!"

Yuan Feng finally reacted, "It's only a little bigger, don't get too smug about it."

"Actually, mine's pretty impressive too!"

Pei Ji's smile widened, "I know."

Yuan Feng was stunned again, "How do you know that?"

"Because we've showered together before," he said, slowly licking his lips, as if savoring something.

With just a glance, Yuan Feng felt as though scenes from the past burst into his mind.

He quickly lowered his head, trying to change the topic, "Why haven't you been calling me 'Uncle' lately?"

"I don't feel like it," Pei Ji replied in his indifferent tone, "You’re not that old."

"I don’t want to be your uncle either."

Yuan Feng’s hands froze. "..."

Damn it,

Lately, because of Brother Li and Brother Xiao, I’ve been having some wild thoughts?!
