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

Yun Xing and Xue Wu were both stunned.

Xue Wu, in particular, had learned from their earlier chat that Wen Yao's mother was the world-renowned philanthropist, Ms. Wen.

Could it be... that she's the mysterious investor behind "The Falling Star"?!

Ms. Wen joked, "Now you know how to call me 'Mommy'? Who was it during their rebellious phase who dared to call me by my full name?"

Wen Yao coughed awkwardly, "Mom, that's ancient history. Look how beautiful Xiao Wu is, and how good her acting is. Mom, it doesn't matter who you bet on! Betting on Xiao Wu will definitely make you rich!"

Ms. Wen is both a philanthropist and a capitalist.

She has a keen eye for investment, and most of the projects she invests in are profitable.

Many popular celebrities have been promoted by the capital behind them.

Putting aside the fact that she naturally had to give face to her precious daughter, she genuinely thought Xue Wu was a nice girl.

There's a saying in the entertainment industry that many popular celebrities' lives resonate with and are intertwined with the fate of the roles they played that made them famous.

Xue Wu may not be the most beautiful or the best actress in the entertainment industry, but she is an incredibly good match for the female lead in "The Falling Star".

"I will inform the director to arrange an audition for Xiaowu."

Ms. Wen's voice was gentle yet powerful.

"Xiaowu, this audition isn't just because you're Zai Zai's friend, but also because of your own abilities. We look forward to your outstanding performance; your bright and brilliant career has only just begun."

Xue Wu repeatedly assured that he would recover as soon as possible and get himself into the best possible condition.

The call is hung up.

Yunxing hugged Wen Yao excitedly: "Yao-mei, I want to thank you on behalf of Xiaowu! And Auntie! It was you who helped her leave her home and get out of the shadows..."

Wen Yao patted the back of her head: "I should thank you. If it weren't for you, I would never have met Xiao Wu."

Yun Xing was slightly taken aback, then said embarrassedly, "Actually, I didn't help her at all..."

“It was your decision to help her that set the wheels of fate in motion,” Wen Yao praised. “Our baby is such a kind and warm-hearted child.”

With just one sentence, Yunxing was so flattered that she was practically strutting around like crazy.

However, she silently added in her mind.

Yao is the kindest baby in the world!

...

The live stream started promptly at dinner time.

The lavish banquet was so extravagant that it left countless spectators in awe.

[This Australian lobster, this black truffle, this caviar... do you need someone to share this with?]

Wow, the production team's budget has no limit!

[Absolutely! Just look at all the advertising sponsors, plus the investment from Mei Bao's mom. The production team has more money than they can spend!]

...

"Please draw your seat cards in turn! Please note that you cannot change your seats during the meal!"

Director Cui's voice came through the loudspeaker.

Gu Yan stepped forward and drew the first one, which was in the middle.

Everyone drew cards in turn, with Wen Yao at the far right of the long dining table.

Lu Anbo happily drew a card and ended up drawing the one next to Wen Yao.

One second ago: Hehe.

The next second: No, not at all.

Fu Wanzhou's eyes turned red with jealousy!

Unfortunately, he drew the second seat from the far left, meaning he couldn't even reach Wen Yao to serve her food, let alone speak to her.

Fortunately, Fu Qianchuan didn't draw a seat near Wen Yao either. Joshua was even worse off, sitting on the far left of the long table, facing Wen Yao from afar.

Compared to that, Fu Wanzhou felt much better.

"May you be blessed, Teacher Wen."

Lu Anbo bowed and scraped. As the saying goes, one doesn't hit a smiling face. He was being so humble, surely Wen Yao wouldn't hit him?

Soon after, Lu Anbo was slapped for making smacking noises while eating.

Lu Anbo didn't use serving chopsticks. After finishing his chopsticks, he reached into the plate and stirred the food, and was slapped again.

Lu Anbo brought Yunyue's favorite dishes to his own table and put them all in his own bowl, for which he received another slap.

One word: Serves them right!!

[Hahaha, Bai Zi didn't get slapped for nothing!]

[She was smacking her lips and rummaging through the food, trying to eat alone. The beating wasn't enough for her!]

[Bai Zi thought you were stinky tofu, but he didn't expect your real defense.]

...

Although the meal itself was already quite funny, Director Cui still arranged for everyone to play some games.

The rules of the game "【Hard to Say It】" are as follows: Each player wears an action command card above their head. Players need to guide and interfere with each other to make others perform the corresponding commands, thus eliminating the other players. The last player standing wins!

Staff distributed instruction card hats and helped everyone put them on.

The guests didn't speak first, but observed the instructions from the others.

Seeing that the command above Lu Anbo's head was "Drink," Gu Yan picked up his glass and said, "Come on, I propose a toast!"

Everyone raised their glasses.

Lu Anbo was no exception, and chimed in, "Yes, yes, let's have one together!"

Gu Yan laughed loudly: "You brat, get down!"

Lu Amber slammed his fist on the table: "Forget it, you're the one who should be leaving!"

Everyone was struggling to hold back their laughter.

Neither of the two outstanding talents were convinced of their superiority, and they almost came to blows.

Wen Yao: "Why don't you two check your own cards?"

Lu Anbo took off his hat; the instruction was to drink.

Gu Yan also took it off; the instruction was to [urge someone to drink].

Gu Yan: "..."

Lu Amber: "..."

Two brilliant minds

That's why they're called the Crouching Dragon and the Young Phoenix!

The two of them thought they were incredibly clever, with eight hundred schemes in their heads, but it turns out they were actually eight hundred cunning.

...

Lin Xinwei launched an attack: "Yunxing, I heard you can dance, can you dance a bit?"

Yunxing mistakenly thought her instruction card was "Dance," but then she had a sudden inspiration: "Forget dancing, I'll sing a song for everyone!"

She hummed a few lines of a folk song.

Gu Yan said gloatingly, "You come down too!"

Lin Xinwei cupped her hands in greeting: "Thank you for your kind offer."

Yunxing took off her hat in disbelief, only to discover that her command was to "sing".

"How can this be a scam!" Yunxing said angrily. "This game is not fun at all!"

The young lady is still too naive.

Hahaha, look how angry our stars have turned into pufferfish!

[Sister Wei does have some brains; I feel she'll be a top contender.]

...

In the next round, Gu Zhu interrupted, "Lin Xinwei, you asked Yun Xing to dance, why didn't you dance yourself?"

Lin Xinwei said cautiously, "I can't dance, and I don't have any other talents."

If I don't perform anything, I won't make any mistakes, right?

The next second, Lu Anbo waved to her: "Come over here too."

Ruby Lin: ?

She took off her hat, her lips twitching.

Her instruction was "disobey."

[Sister Wei's face turned dark, haha]

[Haha, who came up with these command words? They're so clever!]

The seeded player suffered a crushing defeat; it remains to be seen who will emerge victorious!

...

The game eliminated players very quickly, and before long, only Yun Yue, Fu Qianchuan, Wen Yao, and Joshua remained on the field.

Yunyue truly lives up to her reputation as a lucky winner, drawing the only [Invincible] card.

Wen Yao, on the other hand, drew...
