I’m sorry, I cannot update the chapter regularly these days. I’ve been sick these past few days, and last night my website suddenly crashed. I was so worried about it, but thankfully it has been fix.

Xia Shutong: She retracts her previous thoughts about being friendly.

Yun Feiwu directly refused, saying, “No.”

She continued, “I and President Xia are a team.”

Recalling how Old Master Xia had schemed and manipulated things to make her and Zhou Hanchi participate in this program together, it was not impossible for the program team to manipulate the draw and have her and Zhou Hanchi end up in the same group.

Soon, six staff members from the production team approached, each holding a black slip of paper.

“The back of the slips is marked with three different colors, and those who draw the same color will form a group,” explained the director.

Xia Shutong almost burst into laughter at their blatant behind-the-scenes maneuvering.

This is a lucky draw? It’s basically telling you outright that the groups have already been arranged.

Sure enough, when Xia Shutong opened her slip, she found it was red, matching the color of Zhou Hanchi. And Yun Feiwu’s blue slip was the same as Ouyang Chao’s.

Ouyang Chao was already ecstatic, cheering exuberantly.

“Director Wang,” Xia Shutong smirked and beckoned the director with her finger, “Isn’t your behind-the-scenes manipulation too obvious?”

As the Director approached, Xia Shutong tore her slip directly off her hand.

Though the cameras continued to film, this situation would definitely be edited out later.

So Xia Shutong’s smile became even more mischievous.

“Well…” the Director chuckled awkwardly, “Does President Xia find the lucky draw results unsatisfactory?”

Xia Shutong raised an eyebrow, “Director Wang, what do you think?”

At this moment, Yun Feiwu also stepped forward and stood by Xia Shutong. She didn’t say anything but promptly ripped her slip as well.

The Director’s smile grew more guilty, “Well…”

They had indeed manipulated the process.

Even before they set off, he had received instructions from Jiang Chun’s side, asking him to ensure that Xia Shutong and Zhou Hanchi ended up in the same group. Having been in the industry for so many years, the director immediately understood that it was probably the Xia and Zhou families who wanted to form a union through this program. So during the draw, they only needed to make a few minor adjustments.

They couldn’t even be bothered to make those adjustments and simply manipulated the process openly, knowing they could edit it out when the program actually aired.

As for putting Yun Feiwu and Ouyang Chao in the same group, it was purely a spontaneous decision by the production team.

After all, the two of them had just finished filming a TV drama together, and their CP (Couple Pairing) popularity had not faded yet. It was a perfect opportunity for the production team to generate some buzz.

But now, looking at President Xia’s expression, Director Wang suddenly realized that maybe he had made a mistake.

So, without waiting for Xia Shutong to speak again, the director nervously smiled and waved his hand, saying, “Since everyone is unsatisfied with the result of the draw, shall we redo it?”

Everyone could tell that something was fishy with the previous draw, so no one raised any objections.

Soon, the second draw began.

This time, small pieces of paper were directly thrown into a container and shaken a few times. Each person would then pick one, leaving no room for any covert manipulation.

The results of the draw quickly came out. Yun Feiwu and Xi Ao formed one group, Xia Shutong and Jiang Feng formed another group, and the remaining two men formed one group.

Feeling a little disappointed for not being in the same group as Yun Feiwu, Xia Shutong didn’t say much.

However, Jiang Feng’s already pale face, which was terrifyingly white due to motion sickness, turned even paler. When the camera crew’s lights shone on her, she looked like a female ghost.

As Xia Shutong glanced at her, Jiang Feng shivered all over and said, “No, no, no, President Xia, I-I’m not worthy of you! Switch me with Yun Yun; you can be in the same group as Yun Yun!”

Everyone could support me in Kofi, for every 3 coffees an extra chapter would be released. Please don’t forget to mention the name of the novel you want to support, so that I won’t confuse it with the other novel I’m currently translating.
