Chapter 522 - Brainiac Is Here
Xue Xi realized that the spot where Xu Xinyao had fallen earlier was glistening with oil.
However, the boy in front of Xu Xinyao was clearly fine…
Xue Xi frowned. There were many people at the canteen and she had been staring at Xu Xinyao. No one poured oil at her feet. Then how did the oil come about?
She frowned tightly.
The club was very mysterious. It had its secrets.
This was something she had known for a long time. However, the people in the club were so secretive whenever they completed missions that she couldn’t help but think of Liu Zhao’s death.
Although it was confirmed that Liu Zhao had hallucinated after taking the hallucinogen and thought that Liu Jia was here to claim her life, she still fell down.
However, Xue Xi knew that Liu Zhao had actually been pushed downstairs!
Could it be…
She didn’t dare to think about it.
Xue Xi lowered her eyes and turned her head. Not far away, she saw a familiar figure eating and staring at Xu Xinyao.
It was Officer Jing Fei.
Why was he still here? Wasn’t the case solved?
Just as Xue Xi was thinking, Li Zixia suddenly said, “Sister Xi, what are you thinking about? Why are you so lost in thought?”
Xue Xi replied, “How to escape poverty and become rich?”
Li Zixia: “…”
Fine, she didn’t have the right to say anything.
Cen Bai said, “Sister Xi, have you been short of money?”
Xue Xi nodded. “Yes, very short. How can I earn money?”
Initially, she had intended to test the influence of the club. According to the club, the speed of earning money was not low. After all, there were many people in the school seeking out their club’s help.
Moreover, if the club was really very capable, they could even take on missions outside the school. But now, she was a little uncertain.
Before she had figured out what was going on with the club, she would not use the club to earn money.
Just as Xue Xi was thinking this, Cen Bai’s phone rang.
He picked up the call and the other party said something. Cen Bai paused before looking at Xue Xi and saying, “Okay, I’ll try.”
After hanging up, Cen Bai looked at Xue Xi. “Sister Xi, do you want to earn money? The opportunity is here.”
Xue Xi’s eyes lit up.
…
On the other side, Xu Xinyao’s knee was injured and her bones were hurting so much that she couldn’t move. Someone helped her out.
When they arrived at the nanny van that the company had specially arranged for her, Xu Xinyao finally couldn’t hold it in anymore. She smashed a glass of water angrily. “My knees are injured. How am I supposed to dance?”
Her eyes were already red. “I already lost today. If I still can’t dance by the next episode, this center position will belong to someone else!”
Her manager also came over and started the car, intending to bring her to the hospital to have her wounds looked at.
After her manager comforted her, he smiled and said, “Don’t worry. The moment you were injured, the production team had already thought of this problem. We’ve already made agreements that you’ll be in the center position, so there won’t be any mishaps.”
He had just finished speaking when he received a message.
After he took a look, the manager’s eyes lit up. “Here’s the solution.”
Xu Xinyao calmed down. “What solution?”
The manager said, “You won’t be singing or dancing for the next episode for now. The production team has decided to take a week off to film a variety show. It’s called ‘The Top Student.’”
Xu Xinyao was speechless.
She frowned. “Is there a top student in the training camp?”
“No.” The manager smiled. “You guys came to Huaxia University for a roadshow today. The photo of the roadshow was sent out, and the response was especially good. Everyone still idolizes higher learning institutions, so the production team will hold a variety show. Everyone can invite a top student to come and give support! At that time, they will also give you a score based on this.”
Xu Xinyao wanted to throw a tantrum when she heard that the response was good. However, she laughed when she heard the last sentence. “Isn’t this a free marks question?”
Finding a top student depended on one’s ability!
With Qin Shuang’s looks, what kind of top student could she find?
As for the company, they could use their connections to attract powerful people!
The manager said, “Don’t worry, we will find you a very powerful person. The requirement is to find a genius, but it didn’t say that it must be a domestic one.”
Xu Xinyao’s eyes lit up. “What do you mean?”
“Scanford students, Oxford students, and other top students are not too proud. As long as we give them money, they will definitely be invited!”
Xu Xinyao smiled. “Okay!”
If that was the case, then this episode would definitely a win for her!!
She would definitely surpass Qin Shuang’s 20,000 points from today!
…
…
“Sister Xi, do you want to participate?” After Qin Shuang heard Cen Bai’s story, she looked at Xue Xi and held her chin with both hands, looking pitiful.
How could she reject her like this?
Besides, there was money—
Although two million yuan was not a lot, it was for shooting just one episode of the show, which meant she only had to join the production team for a week. There was no problem at all.
Xue Xi nodded. “Sure, I’ll go.”
The program called Cen Bai because they wanted him to invite Xue Xi.
The people in the entertainment industry did not care about Xue Xi’s status in the academic world, but Xue Xi was trending within their circle.
After Cen Bai’s drama, everyone lamented that he and his first love could not reconcile.
And this was a modern drama. If the pair was shown on-screen by the production team, it would definitely bring about a hot topic of discussion!
As long as there were hot topics related to them, the show would explode.
However, following that, they encountered a problem: Xue Xi’s hair.
The others were strolling in front. Cen Bai, who was two steps behind, was answering the call from the production team’s person-in-charge. “We can’t have someone with red hair on the show. Can you ask her to dye her hair black?”
Cen Bai glanced at Xue Xi’s back. “That might be a little difficult.”
Qin Shuang had already told him why Sister Xi dyed her red hair. When Cen Bai heard that, he even sighed. “I didn’t expect Sister Xi to be so loyal when she looks so cold.”
The production team said, “Aren’t Qin Shuang and this person good friends? Just have Qin Shuang go and beg, alright?”
Cen Bai’s gaze turned cold.
Before he could say anything, Qin Shuang, who had been standing beside him, suddenly said, “Forget it. If you don’t want to let her go, Sister Xi won’t go.”
Qin Shuang hung up the call for Cen Bai.
The two of them exchanged glances.
Cen Bai did not want Qin Shuang to beg and suffer.
Qin Shuang did not want to make things difficult for Sister Xi. That red hair represented something meaningful. She did not even want to mention dyeing her hair to prevent Sister Xi from recalling the past.
Although Sister Xi was short of money, she was not short of two million dollars. The reason she agreed to go on the show was to help her.
Of course, this could not be blamed on the production team.
The Most Beautiful Girl program was not broadcasted online. It was broadcasted on television. There was a rule that people could not dye their hair. It was not that the production team was making things difficult for them.
Qin Shuang sighed. “Forget it.”
Cen Bai nodded as well. “I’ll find another top student for you.”
“Yeah.”
Qin Shuang nodded heavily.
Right at this moment, He Gao walked over from afar with a basketball in his hands. When he saw Qin Shuang, his footsteps paused.
