Shocking! A haughty and arrogant older sister was relentlessly pinned against a wall by a cold and a

"Just focus on recording the variety show, Zou Kun will handle this." Ye Jingke casually dropped a bombshell, then changed the subject, "There's no suitable manager for you in the company right now, what kind of compensation do you want?"

[My brother's tone is so gentle and charming, I'm in love, sob sob.]

Wow~ Night Emperor is putting pressure on President Zou~ Hao Jian and Cheng Baoni are in trouble~

They seem to get along very well; could they be fellow patients?

[Shut up, you dog. Shengding International posts updates about their male idol on social media every day. Are you blind?]

[Brother Movie Star, your question is unnecessary. Anyone with common sense would answer with their body in return.]

[I hope the Ni-Hao-Bao couple will be punished after these two episodes are filmed, because seeing them innocently showing affection is really hilarious!]

[Agree + ID number; if two guests suddenly disappear, the variety show is doomed.]

The netizens chatted endlessly, while Hao Jian almost fell off his chair when he heard his boss's name.

Why on earth did Ye Yingdi order Zou Kun to handle something? And whose trending topics did he make Cheng Ai look at?

He glanced sideways at Cheng Baoni, who was trembling beside him, and a sense of foreboding suddenly rose in his heart...

"Hiss~" Cheng Ai was sweating profusely from the spiciness, but she kept shoveling spicy chicken noodles into her mouth. "If I have to mention compensation, I would like to see you when I finish work on Friday night."

“Okay.” Ye Jingke agreed without hesitation, “But eat less of that stuff, or you’ll get a stomachache.”

"Ugh!" Cheng Ai put down her chopsticks with a lingering sense of satisfaction, wiped her mouth with a tissue, and complained, "She knew I was in a competition, yet she deliberately said things that were considered fouls. How annoying!"

"Don't worry, you won." Ye Jingke's smile deepened, his tone confident.

Cheng Ai pouted, quickly ended the call, threw her phone into the basket, and sat back down in the guest seat to wait for the director to announce the results.

【Ugh! Is this how you talk to the Night Emperor? You're asking for a beating!】

[I have to say, Ai Bao'er can really handle spicy food; she almost splattered that huge bowl of spicy chicken noodles (10x spice level) on top of the broth.]

[I'm so excited I could cry! My brother agreed to Cheng Ai's request, which means he'll be on the live stream this Friday. I can't wait!]

[The nightclub usually only makes movies and TV dramas. If he also did a couple of variety shows, he would definitely be even more popular than he is now.]

Gong Qian snapped out of his daze, took the card from his assistant, and announced loudly, "The game is over. Hao Jian ate 10 grams of spicy noodles, Cheng Baoni 3 grams, Song Yifei 32 grams, Zhong Zheyi 0 grams, Wu Xu 0 grams, and Cheng Ai 86 grams. Winners, please come forward to collect the clues."

Upon receiving the task card, Cheng Ai frowned slightly after reading its contents. "Why is it a problem?"

Upon hearing this, Song Yifei quickly stood up and cautiously suggested, "Sister Xiao Ai, we're going to solve the mystery together later. Why don't you just tell us what you want to say and let everyone help us figure it out?"

Her face was full of fawning smiles, but Cheng Ai seemed not to see them. She lowered her eyes and slowly read from the task card, "Obedience puppet, puppet obedience, is it you who is obedient, or the puppet that is obedient?"

What's the point of the guests fighting tooth and nail to eat noodles and win first place? In the end, isn't it just about sharing information?

[Xiao Ai is so naive; she fell for Fei Fei's trick so easily.]

[Is there even a need to guess? Whether it's the puppets in Naruto or the dolls used in stage performances in reality, they are always subject to human control!]

Song Yifei's thoughts were the same as most netizens'; Zhong Zheyi had no interest in participating in the quiz.

Cheng Baoni was touching up her makeup with a makeup mirror when Hao Jian tried to grab his phone, but a staff member shook his head and stopped him.

Wu Xu, meanwhile, kept staring at Cheng Ai thoughtfully, his eyes filled with inquiry.

For a moment, the shed was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

The awkward situation was broken when Gong Qian distributed the six smart bracelets. "The bracelets have a time display and an initial score of 20, which you can use to redeem food and water for the next week."

There may be hidden rules inside and outside the castle; if you accidentally violate them, you'll lose points. Of course, if you find the correct puppet, you'll also receive points as a reward.

After all the guests had put on their wristbands, he placed five glasses of unidentified liquid on the table and said with a smile, "Except for Miss Cheng, everyone else must drink the leek juice first, otherwise they will not be able to proceed with the next puzzle-solving task~"

I thought the director had forgotten about this, but it turns out he was prepared all along, hahaha.

Leek juice has aphrodisiac effects, making it especially suitable for Hao Jian.

Because the punishment was too cruel, everyone resisted and backed away, and no one was willing to be the first to try it.

In the end, Gong Qian stepped in to mediate, asking them to come in the order they made the phone calls.

Looking at the bright green color, Hao Jian suppressed his nausea, picked up a glass of leek juice, and drank it all in one gulp.

The next second, he quickly unscrewed the mineral water bottle and gulped down several mouthfuls before he could barely suppress the nausea churning in his chest.

Cheng Baoni covered her mouth in disgust, hiding behind him and refusing to show her face. "No... spicy noodles are my limit... I absolutely will not drink the chive juice..."

The words had barely left her lips when a mechanical female voice abruptly rang out: <Ding! 1 point deducted from Cheng Baoni!>

[Serves you right! You really deserve it! You don't want to drink leek juice, huh? Perfect, you don't need to eat rice either.]

[The points deducted seem a bit low; I suggest clearing them to zero.]

[The pairings should be complete. Director Gong, please deduct Hao Jian's points as well, thank you!]

Cheng Baoni looked down at the bracelet she had just put on, and sure enough, the number displayed on the screen had changed from 20 to 19.

"Damn it!" she couldn't help but curse under her breath, glaring fiercely at the director. "We haven't even entered the castle yet, why are you deducting my points?"

Gong Qian shrugged and spread his hands, asking helplessly, "That's the rule. Who told you not to follow it?"

Cheng Baoni clenched her fists in anger, but she was helpless and could only swallow her resentment.

Hao Jian didn't want to stay in the rest shed and continue to embarrass himself, so he simply pulled her around and left, entering the forest first.

Having learned from the previous experience, the other three guests, no matter how unwilling, had to accept their fate, since no one wanted to film a variety show on an empty stomach.

Song Yifei pinched her nose and struggled to drink the entire cup of leek juice, then squatted down and vomited uncontrollably.

"Could we go outside? This noise is making me want to throw up my dinner from last night."

Princess Feifei, please mind your image! You're a public figure!

Next was Zhong Zheyi. After hesitating for a long time, he finally slowly chose a cup.

With my parents gone, it seems like there's no point in living anymore.

However, before his lips even touched the rim of the cup, a slender, fair hand suddenly reached out and snatched the cup away.

"Huh?" Zhong Zheyi looked up in surprise, his eyes meeting a pair of clear, bright almond-shaped eyes. "What are you doing?"
