403: Chapter 378: Team Task 403: Chapter 378: Team Task Amid the buzz of the nation, several top female celebrities walked into the studio to meet their teams and organize the tasks for the coming days. The camera generously focused on Shi Bi’er, who had tied her hair in a convenient ponytail. Her fair neck looked quite sleek, and with a gentle smile on her face, she said to the five people, “Hello, seniors. I look forward to learning a lot from you in the next five days.” “Please guide us!” the five people also stood up and exchanged pleasantries with Shi Bi’er. After sitting down, Shi Bi’er took a deep breath to calm herself. Although she was very nervous, thinking of what Liu Hun had told her gave her courage. She smiled at the five people and said, “For the next five days, I was thinking the schedule should be like this; the first day for gathering and finalizing ideas, the next three days for production, and the last day for refinement and adjustments. What do you think?” The five people hadn’t expected Shi Bi’er, who seemed so demure and inexperienced, to take charge so adeptly. They all nodded in agreement. “I think this way, whatever it is you are doing, you can express your own ideas, and everyone’s thoughts are respected here. That’s why I’m giving each of you a notebook. Tonight, go back to your rooms and write while you think, and tomorrow we will start discussing. What do you think?” Shi Bi’er said, pulling out the notebooks Liu Hun had prepared. The group exchanged looks, surprised by Shi Bi’er’s management, but since she was willing to lead the entire team, they were happy to be led by her; working under a goddess was nothing unpleasant. “Alright! Everyone, go back to your rooms and work on your ideas. See you tomorrow!” Shi Bi’er said with a slight smile, deeply relieved. She did not know where all these words and ideas came from; they seemed to naturally come to her lips and she could speak them effortlessly. She just remembered the night before she signed up, in a moment of joy too intense to contain while Liu Hun held her hand and they had their passionate encounter, it still lingered in her memory. Shi Bi’er quickly established herself as a leader, swiftly made task arrangements, and successfully completed her first step upon arrival. The camera then shifted, broadcasting the initial appearances of other female celebrities at the villa, and their varied performances stirred up a storm among the viewers in front of their televisions. “Shi Bi’er is so incredible! Usually, she seems so quiet on TV, and the papers and magazines always say she just listens to Liu Hun, but now she is so decisive! Truly a woman not to be underestimated, a complete leader!” “Feng Xiaoxiao looks so gentle, and she also respects the team’s opinions. Although she’s not as impressive as Shi Bi’er, she’s not like the other few, just sitting there doing nothing.” “Hehe! Not really! Look at Xu Moyu, she’s so eager to show off, but none of her statements hit the mark, her arrangements are not reasonable at all, and when someone else starts talking she just pretends to listen for a second and then interrupts; it’s totally annoying!” “...” The celebrities each performed during their first steps at the villa, and the viewers’ enthusiasm was completely ignited, eager to see more of these stars’ sides not shown on TV or magazines. By this time, Lin Xiaoxiang and Liu Hun were, of course, also glued to the television, watching Shi Bi’er’s performance. Lin Xiaoxiang was probably the most shocked—she hadn’t expected that in just a few days, Shi Bi’er could become so composed and self-assured, completely unlike a small bird staying beside Liu Hun. After two days of isolation competitions, various team’s creative ideas exploded, becoming the talk of the town. Coupled with the stars’ interactions with their teams, their characters—which they couldn’t quite conceal—ignited the gossipmongers. However, all the public opinion feedback made Liu Hun feel relieved because most of the media coverage regarding Shi Bi’er was positive. The complaints were mostly directed at Xu Moyu and Tian Bing, making Liu Hun appreciate the effectiveness of his Black Dragon Power. Without it, he figured there would have been a deluge of negative comments criticizing Shi Bi’er by now. “Ding ding ding... ding ding ding...” While watching the live broadcast, Liu Hun’s phone started ringing suddenly. Upon seeing that it was Lin Xiaoxiang calling, he answered, “Assistant Lin, what’s the matter?” “Liu Manager, it’s not easy to explain over the phone. Please hurry to the Peninsula Coffee next to the company; I’m waiting for you there,” Lin Xiaoxiang said, then hung up. Sensing that Lin Xiaoxiang might have some urgent matter, Liu Hun didn’t dare delay. He immediately turned off the television and hurried out to drive to Peninsula Coffee. Twenty minutes later, Liu Hun arrived at Peninsula Coffee and saw Lin Xiaoxiang. Before even sitting down, he asked, “Assistant Lin, are you in such a rush because something happened?” “Liu, please have a seat first,” Lin Xiaoxiang gestured for Liu Hun to sit down before she began, “Liu, I’m sorry! I made a mistake in this matter.” Upon hearing Lin Xiaoxiang apologize right off the bat, Liu Hun felt incredibly confused and asked, “What mistake have you made without even saying what it is?!” Lin Xiaoxiang took a deep breath and said, “The video production team you asked me to help find had a problem!” “A problem? What problem?” Liu Hun asked, perplexed. Having watched several days of live television broadcasts, everything about Shi Bi’er seemed to be in perfect order, and he hadn’t really noticed any problems. “The team’s video post-production editor, Xiao Gang, was replaced,” Lin Xiaoxiang said gravely to Liu Hun. “Since the original team had only three people, and they’ve always been working for our Yinyue Company, I trusted them completely. I asked a company script supervisor to help find the other two people, so I don’t really know the backgrounds of those last two people. Today, the script supervisor came to me and said that Xiao Gang had been out of town and only returned last night. Xiao Gang’s ID and such were all lost. Someone else took his place!” “So you’re saying...” Liu Hun furrowed his brows tightly, “Someone infiltrated the team on purpose, stole Xiao Gang’s ID, and then impersonated him to get close to Shi Bi’er!?” “Yes, that’s right, I’m really worried he might sabotage things. He’s in charge of the last phase of the video’s editing and finishing. If he sabotages it, all of Shi Bi’er’s efforts will be in vain... I’m sorry, it’s my fault.” Lin Xiaoxiang said to Liu Hun, her voice filled with regret as she bowed her head and apologized, her eyebrows drooping so low she didn’t dare to look at Liu Hun. “It’s okay, this isn’t your fault. If someone wants to target us, there will always be oversights,” Liu Hun consoled Lin Xiaoxiang, “What we need to do now is not complain or apologize, but think about how to salvage the situation.” “This so-called Xiao Gang will definitely sabotage things. The short video Shi Bi’er finally submits will definitely be damaged, even embarrassingly so,” Liu Hun said to Lin Xiaoxiang, deducing that Shi Bi’er’s video was completely ruined. Access to the isolated villa was blocked, and now they could only come up with strategies from the outside. “Lin, go and handle a few things for me, things that must be done well. I believe we can definitely turn the situation around!” Liu Hun, drawing closer to Lin Xiaoxiang, told her his plans one by one. Outside the field, Liu Hun was devising his repair plan, while inside, Shi Bi’er, oblivious to everything else, continued to busily dedicate herself to her short video. Meanwhile, with the competition deadline approaching, several major female celebrities fully portrayed their unique personalities. “Look! Look! Didn’t I tell you before? Shi Bi’er is a true goddess, with poise, temperament, and skills—she lacks nothing. And her proficiency with professional jargon, her ease with software, I absolutely admire her!” “Isn’t Shi Bi’er amazing? To think she can produce videos! Compared to Shi Bi’er, Xu Moyu pales in comparison! Truly indescribable. Despite her young age, she’s quite arrogant. She was utterly humiliated by Shi Bi’er at the Golden Melody Awards ten-year gala, and it seems it won’t be her turn this time around, although she is heavily supported by Tianhua Group.” “Li Ningzhi is really nice though, very beautiful and has a great personality. Although she’s not as versatile as Shi Bi’er, she listens to her team well and cooperates greatly, and most importantly, I favor their creativity!” “...” As the competition’s deadline arrived, the celebrities had just about finished their projects. At the last moment, the perfectionist Shi Bi’er submitted her work. The Bolli Group’s representatives took each star’s work, and placed all their CDs into a box; the disks, identical in appearance, were indistinguishable unless played. After handing over their works, the celebrities each received an invitation, dated for September 7, tomorrow morning at nine, at the Bolli Corporation building for the final judgment. As the female stars grabbed their invitations and stepped outside the villa, they were picked up by the luxury cars of their managers or entertainment companies, their departure marked by the flashing lights of cameras. “Phew! It’s finally over!” Shi Bi’er let out a long sigh as she got into the car, and as soon as the door closed, she hugged Liu Hun’s arm and asked, “How did I do? Did I perform well?” “Extremely well! Flawless!” Liu Hun smiled at Shi Bi’er, pinching her cheek. As the car started, Liu Hun’s phone rang, and seeing it was Zhong Xiao calling, he immediately answered and asked, “How’s it going?” “They’ve all come out,” Zhong Xiao said over the phone to Liu Hun. “Okay, keep that fake Xiao Gang under control, ask everything we need to know. We’ll be announcing the results tomorrow, and there’s not much time left.” Liu Hun told Zhong Xiao then promptly hung up.
