This is the entertainment industry! No tantrums or shouting allowed!

Joshua's eyes lit up suddenly. Ignoring Gu Zhu, he walked straight toward Wen Yao.

"Miss Wen."

Gu Zhu, who had been all smiles, was left standing there, looking extremely embarrassed.

Lin Xinwei laughed without any politeness.

"What are you laughing at?" Gu Zhu glared at her fiercely.

Lin Xinwei smiled gently: "I'm sorry, but you really do have a talent for comedy."

[Haha, Sister Wei's lips are poisoned!]

"Of course! The Thunder King is not someone to be trifled with!"

[You've learned another high-EQ expression: "You're so funny" = "You have a great talent for comedy."]

...

Wen Yao was stunned for a moment before realizing that "Miss Wen" was addressing her.

"?" She looked at the tall man in front of her with a puzzled expression. "Is there something you need?"

Judging from her reaction, Joshua knew that she had forgotten about him again.

His thin lips moved, but the words of acknowledging kinship stuck in his throat. When he finally spoke, his tone was businesslike, cold, and rigid:

“I admire your design style, and I hope we can collaborate if the opportunity arises.”

He was filled with trepidation and hesitated for a moment before reaching out his hand to Wen Yao.

Without thinking much of it, Wen Yao shook his hand politely: "Thank you, I'm really looking forward to it."

Joshua's lips curled slightly, but he suddenly sensed two murderous auras.

Behind the girl stood two tall, handsome, and similar-looking men, who were filled with hostility towards him.

Joshua: ?

What's going on? It's not like I stole your wives.

He withdrew his gaze, his attention now entirely focused on Wen Yao:

"I'd like to discuss with you the creative inspiration and design philosophy behind your 'Sea of ​​Flowers' series."

"No problem, then... shall we talk as we walk?"

Joshua nodded.

Gu Zhu hurriedly said, "Mr. Joshua, we're a team! Are you going to abandon your teammates?"

Joshua was a little annoyed. He had come to this live variety show specifically for Wen Yao.

However, his good upbringing prevented him from abandoning his teammates, a behavior that lacked any gentlemanly conduct.

Wen Yao said nonchalantly, "It's alright, we'll talk again later."

The little devil has such a sensible side...

Joshua felt a sense of relief, and his gaze towards Wen Yao became more affectionate: "You've grown up."

Wen Yao almost thought that her grandparents were talking to her.

"This is for you." Joshua pulled a velvet box from his pocket and said seriously, "Consider it a small gift."

Are the new guests really that particular?

Wen Yao assumed everyone received one, so she readily accepted it, saying, "Thank you."

She opened the box and paused slightly in surprise.

Are you sure... this is for me?

Against a black velvet background, a pink diamond necklace the size of a pigeon's egg sparkles.

Joshua feigned composure: "Hmm, it's just a little trinket, worthless."

Wen Yao:! ! !

This new guest isn't just generous; he's practically throwing money away.

The live stream was filled with gasps of astonishment!

[Holy crap? A diamond ring? Phone, what kind of world have you put me in?]

[Redefining the words "worthless," can I reach into Professor Joshua's wallet to warm up since it's getting cold?]

This is incredibly extravagant! Are these the kinds of gifts given when meeting someone?

[Wait a minute, Joshua didn't give it to anyone else, he only gave it to Meibao!]

[Family, I have a bold guess: could Joshua be after Meibao?]

...

Although Wen Yao was a naive and somewhat foolish female college student, she still had a sense of propriety. She immediately put the lid back on and handed it back to Joshua.

"Thank you for the gift. I appreciate your kind gesture, but I cannot accept it."

The girl's expression, as if she'd just received a hot potato, made Joshua frown.

"You don't like it? The design can be redesigned, and the diamonds can be recut."

"No, the necklace is very pretty."

"Then why won't you accept it?" Joshua asked, puzzled. "There's an old Chinese saying: 'It's a small gift but a great sentiment.' Do you think this gift is too cheap?"

[You deadbeat phone, you actually let me watch this kind of live stream!]

[Oh no, is this spoken in Chinese? Is this how the words "cheap" are used??]

[Can't understand Korean, off to feed the chickens, go go go go go]

[I'm so angry I don't even feel superior using the daily coupons]

[I was so angry that I ordered a Luckin Coffee at full price]

[I was so angry that I wore overnight pants on the last day of my period]

Don't do anything stupid!!

...

The audience went crazy, and Gu Zhu was about to go crazy too.

Her eyes were red with jealousy.

She's Joshua's teammate, so why should she give Wen Yao such an expensive gift when she doesn't even have a feather?

"Since it's a gift for meeting someone, shouldn't everyone who sees it receive one?" Gu Zhu pretended to be naive. "Mr. Joshua, you can't be biased."

This begging behavior has drawn the ire of countless viewers.

Joshua was stunned. He had never seen anyone as shameless as Gu Zhu. He pondered for a moment and was about to take off the watch on his wrist.

Wen Yao held him down and glanced lazily at Gu Zhu: "His Chinese isn't good, he won't understand what you're saying."

Gu Zhu recognized the luxury watch on Joshua's wrist; it was a limited edition from a global luxury brand, and could fetch a seven-figure price even on the secondhand market.

Don't want it for nothing.

Seeing that Wen Yao was blocking the money that was about to be in her hands, Gu Zhu snorted: "Wen Yao, can you not be so possessive of other people's money?"

Wen Yao laughed: "Don't you want to listen to what you're saying?"

Gu Zhu said matter-of-factly, "Mr. Joshua is willing to give it to me, which means he is handsome, kind-hearted, and generous. What does it have to do with you?"

Trying to reason with an unreasonable person is a waste of time.

Wen Yao turned to Joshua and said, "Give me your watch."

Although Joshua did not understand her intentions, he obediently did as she said.

"Give me the necklace, ring, and earrings too."

Joshua took them off as well, and suddenly a flash of inspiration struck him.

"You like sparkly things?"

He began to untie the diamond-encrusted belt.

Wen Yao was shocked: "No, no, no! That's not necessary!"

[Hilarious! Xiuzi really doesn't treat our little sister like an outsider.]

I feel like Mei Bao could completely fool him; he'd give her anything, from belts to bitter tea seeds...

[Today's Dog Training Achievement (1/1√)]

...

Soon, Joshua had nothing of value left.

Naturally, there was no "gift" to give Gu Zhu.

Gu Zhu was furious and turned the tables on Wen Yao: "Wen Yao, you are really greedy!"

Wen Yao: "You flatter me."

She beckoned to Joshua with her finger, and Joshua understood and bent down.

Wen Yao whispered, "I'll leave these valuables with you for now, and I'll return them to you later."

Joshua nodded steadily.

Then, as Wen Yao was leaving, he naturally grabbed the hem of her clothes.

Wen Yao:?

"Didn't you say the most valuable thing was going to be with you?" Joshua raised an eyebrow, his long, slender fingers tightening their grip. "My hand is insured for a billion dollars, so it should still have some value, right?"
