"Stop crying, just tell me what's going on!" Bai Ren frowned, his face flushed red, his tone full of anger and anxiety, he almost shouted.

"Xiaozhi, don't cry for now. Tell us what happened and we will work together to find a solution." Lin Zhirou walked forward and gently patted Jiang Baizhi's shoulder.

"When was it lost and where was it lost? Please tell us clearly!" Chao Yan said with his hands folded in front of his chest. His face was full of impatience and anxiety, and he seemed very dissatisfied with Jiang Baizhi's crying.

"It was Qu Qingdai who did it. She must have instructed others to steal my money! Otherwise, how could she have so much money with the income from selling corn and even bring breakfast to everyone!" Jiang Baizhi was a little incoherent at this time. She slandered Qu Qingdai in an emotional state.

"Don't be such a thief! I keep track of every penny I spend. I'll show you my ledger and see if you have anything to say!" Qu Qingdai replied righteously. Although she didn't know why the corn was selling so well, she had plenty of evidence. She quickly pulled out her ledger and handed it to Tan Changqing. Then, she continued methodically, "There's no grudge between you and me. Tell me why I took your money."

"You are just jealous that I stole my parents' love for me, so you hold a grudge against me and want to take revenge on me in the live broadcast room!" Jiang Baizhi continued to insist.

"That's right." Lin Zhirou agreed.

"Oh, that's really funny! Since you said that, I will clarify it in front of all the viewers in the live broadcast room. I have no relationship with the Jiang family now. As early as the day the family recognition banquet ended, I had already signed a letter of severance with them." Qu Qingdai revealed this explosive news with an indifferent expression on her face.

"What? So exciting!" When Bai Ren heard this rich gossip, he forgot about the lost money for a moment, and his eyes were shining with excitement.

"Okay, Qingdai remembers every penny of hers clearly, there is no doubt about that. Just go to the market and ask, and you will know whether the matter is true or not. She has no reason to lie." Tan Changqing flipped through the account book and said in a firm tone.

Then, Chao Yan's eyes locked onto Jiang Baizhi, a sharp gleam in his eyes, as if he wanted to see through her. Chao Yan said to Jiang Baizhi sternly, "Jiang Baizhi, you need to explain to me exactly how the money was lost! Don't try to lie. You should know that I'm good at writing mystery novels, and I have a very precise grasp of the characters' psychology. Don't even think about escaping my sight with any of your little tricks or lies!"

"I...actually, I lost it at the market that day..." Jiang Baizhi's voice trembled as she began to ramble on about the details of how she lost the money. Her words were a bit disorganized as she recalled the scene and struggled to describe what had happened.

As Jiang Baizhi slowly recounted the story of how the money was lost, everyone's expression gradually darkened, as if shrouded in a haze. After Jiang Baizhi finished speaking, the air seemed to freeze for a moment, suddenly becoming extremely quiet. It was so quiet that one could almost hear everyone's heartbeats and heavy breathing.

"Damn it! I lost money on the first day, why are you only telling me now?" Bai Ren couldn't hold it in any longer and cursed on the spot, his voice full of anger and dissatisfaction. His face flushed red, and the veins on his forehead bulged, looking very angry.

"So, the fish feast was prepared the next day. It's obvious that we didn't have money to buy vegetables!" Chao Yan also said sarcastically, with a hint of disdain and ridicule in his eyes.

"Xiaozhi, you...you took two breakfasts that day. Did you eat the other one for lunch?" Lin Zhirou looked at Jiang Baizhi with suspicion and asked softly.

"Oh, so it was you who didn't keep the money safe and you framed me!" Qu Qingdai said coldly with a scornful smile on her face.

"Hey, you should have told us about this on the first day instead of hiding it from everyone until now." Tan Changqing said earnestly, his eyes full of disappointment and helplessness.

"I didn't mean to do that. I really didn't mean to hide it from you. I wanted to sell more fish the next day to make back the money I lost. Who would have thought that all the fish in the small pond were caught by the villagers? They are really too much! Not only did they make it impossible for me to sell fish, they also deliberately lowered the price of fish, so that I can't make any money at all." Jiang Baizhi's face showed a trace of grievance and complaint, and she blamed the villagers for stealing her business.

"But that can't be a reason for you to hide it from us! Even if you didn't tell us on the first day, you could always tell us on the second day. Why didn't you tell us?" Qu Qingdai questioned Jiang Baizhi in a serious tone.

"I was thinking that I would go to other ponds today to see if there might be fish there, but I never expected that there would be even fewer fish in other ponds... It's all the fault of those local villagers who stole my fish." Jiang Baizhi said with some indignation.

"Jiang Baizhi, haven't you realized your mistake yet? It's not the fish's problem at all, but your money was lost, but you didn't tell us at the first time!" Chao Yan said with an irritable look on his face, his eyes full of dissatisfaction and blame.

"Then what do you want me to do? Are you going to let me say in front of the live broadcast audience on the first day that my money was stolen?" Jiang Baizhi shouted loudly in excitement, her voice full of anger and grievance.

"Do you think it's something to be proud of that your money was discovered to have been stolen in front of the audience?" Qu Qingdai's face showed a ruthless sneer, and her eyes were full of sarcasm and disdain.

"Qu Qingdai, don't go too far! You have been targeting me from the very beginning. What is your intention?" Jiang Baizhi glared at Qu Qingdai. She felt that she could no longer tolerate it.

"I'm telling you the truth. If you don't like it, forget it." Qu Qingdai said nonchalantly, her tone calm, as if none of this concerned her. She had already completely rewritten her past life's fate. In the first episode of this variety show, it wasn't Qu Qingdai who was disgraced and abused by the audience, but Jiang Baizhi. Qu Qingdai felt secretly proud, feeling that she had finally managed to shed some of the shadows of her past life.

"Okay, stop arguing! Stop it!" Tan Changqing stood up and said in a serious tone, "Baizhi, this is indeed your fault. You shouldn't blame Qingdai. Honestly, the fault is indeed yours. You lost the money, and hiding it from everyone is wrong in itself."

"Yes, Xiaozhi, you should have told me about this earlier." Lin Zhirou also echoed, with a concerned look on her face.

"Tsk, I think it's just her pride that's getting in the way. She cares too much about face, and now she's getting retaliated against. She really deserves it!" Bai Ren didn't care about anything at all and continued to complain fearlessly in the live broadcast room. His words were full of sarcasm and ridicule.

"You guys are going too far. I won't record this crappy variety show!" Jiang Baizhi shouted angrily. After that, she turned around and left the scene, her steps looking very determined.

"Hey, don't go!" The director who had been watching the show nearby hurriedly tried to keep Jiang Baizhi, but failed. He could only watch Jiang Baizhi walk further and further away.

The audience watched this big show, and comments popped up like mushrooms after rain:

[This is so exciting! The plot is so full of ups and downs! ]

[Bai Ren is so bold! ]

[It was Jiang Baizhi's fault in the first place. She shouldn't have kept it a secret!]

[Bai Ren has a really venomous mouth! I’m a fan!]

[Is Jiang Baizhi leaving? ]

This variety show is getting more and more interesting! Director, please keep Jiang Baizhi!

What deep hatred do Jiang Baizhi and Qu Qingdai have? Did Qu Qingdai really hold a family recognition banquet that day and then cut off the title of the book that night?

【Stimulate……】

I hope Jiang Baizhi can come back and continue filming the show! I love it!

As Jiang Baizhi left angrily, the atmosphere at the scene instantly became extremely awkward. A stagnant atmosphere filled the air, making people feel uncomfortable.

At this point, the director had no choice but to step out and take charge. He sighed helplessly and said, "Ah, this kind of thing really was unexpected. I'll find a way to deal with Jiang Baizhi's matter. Let's not deal with today's settlement for now. As for lunch, the production team has just booked a luxurious set meal for everyone. Everyone, pack your bags and get ready to eat."

After finishing his speech, the director looked back at the camera and said to the audience, "Dear viewers, although the ending of the first live broadcast was a bit unexpected, it was generally quite satisfactory. Thank you very much for staying in the live broadcast room for these three short days and spending time with us. See you next time!"

As soon as the words fell, comments began to flood the screen like a tide, with all kinds of comments and emotions filling the screen:

【This episode is so exciting! 】

【I didn’t expect something like this to happen! Looking forward to the next episode! 】

【I hope Jiang Baizhi can come back! 】

[The director handled it pretty well! Deluxe package, not bad!]

This variety show is really interesting! Looking forward to the next episode's new plot!

[Thank you to the production team for their hard work! I've been staying in the live studio the entire time, it's totally worth it!]

As the live broadcast ended, the remaining five guests, led by the program crew, came to the exquisitely decorated restaurant. After entering the private room, they sat around the table and began to express their opinions on what had happened today.

"I really didn't expect that the first episode would end in such an unexpected way. It's a bit regrettable." Tan Changqing said with regret. He frowned slightly, revealing his reluctance to Jiang Baizhi's early departure.

"What's there to regret? It's her own problem. She didn't tell me earlier that she lost the money." Bai Ren retorted disdainfully, his eyes full of dissatisfaction and annoyance towards Jiang Baizhi.

"I don't know if Xiaozhi will come back in the next episode. The director said it would be resolved, but I don't know how." Lin Zhirou said worriedly. Her clear eyes were full of worry, and her voice sounded a little low.

"She will come back." Qu Qingdai said affirmatively, her tone firm.

"How do you know?" Chao Yan looked at Qu Qingdai in confusion, with eyes full of puzzlement.

Qu Qingdai thought that in her previous life, Jiang Baizhi was going to snatch her identity in the next variety show, so how could she quit like this? Her departure today was just because she didn't want to continue to be embarrassed under the audience's gaze. As someone who loves to perform so much, it is impossible for her to leave such a popular show.

"I'm just guessing. After all, we've signed a contract, and it wouldn't be good to breach it." Qu Qingdai said perfunctorily.

"Tsk, you'd better not come." Bai Ren's face was full of annoyance and disgust.

"Hey, do you have a team spirit?" Lin Zhirou said dissatisfiedly after hearing Bai Ren's words, her eyes full of blame.

"She's the one who has no team spirit, okay!" Bai Ren responded without showing any weakness. His voice became louder and louder, and his emotions became more excited.

"Okay, okay, stop arguing. Let's eat quickly, then go home and have a good rest. We'll know in four days. By the way, will there be any guest stars in the next episode?" Tan Changqing quickly came out to smooth things over, his voice gentle and kind.

"Yes, except for the first episode where all the guests are permanent, the remaining three episodes will have flying guests." Qu Qingdai thought of the guests of the next episode in her previous life and what was about to happen, and she felt a little excited. What will you do this time, Jiang Baizhi...
