Chapter 824: The Buck-Passing Caught Lin Nuan Off Guard

Wearing a light pink gown that was a little loose and high heels, the moment Peng Yanzhi arrived, she apologized to the director. She then smiled and sat opposite Lin Nuan.

Peng Yanzhi’s gaze glanced at the wedding ring on Lin Nuan’s ring finger. She looked up and said, “I heard that you want to go through the questions with me. Why would you need to trouble the director to send someone to look for me? You could have just come to my dressing room!”

Lin Nuan looked up at the young and beautiful lady. Her eyes were big and clear, giving off the feeling of being untainted by the secular world and having a fairy-like feeling to them. However, her words made others feel uncomfortable.

Lin Nuan closed her pen and handed the set of documents with the program’s schedule that she had made markings on to Peng Yanzhi. “Twenty minutes before the show, the guests and host will have to go through the questions. I believe that your manager should have told you about this! Since you’re here to participate in the show, then you’ll have to abide by the show’s rules.”

Lin Nuan was neither humble nor overbearing. She was calm and cool, clearly showing her dissatisfaction.

The ratings for Lin Nuan’s show were great, and many celebrities wanted to appear on it. Many people had emailed Miss Xia and expressed that they wanted their celebrities to appear on Lin Nuan’s show. Out of which, many of them were big shots! Lin Nuan had the capital to say those words to Peng Yanzhi.

Peng Yanzhi looked at Lin Nuan and smirked. She took the documents from Lin Nuan with her long and slender fingers that had a French manicure done. She looked at the markings that Lin Nuan had written on the documents and casually tossed them to the side. “My manager should already have told you what questions you should ask and what you shouldn’t! You don’t know? I’m not a tactful person. With you scribbling so much on these questions, who knows if any questions will go around in circles with a trap laid out for me?”

Peng Yanzhi’s action of not even looking at the documents she took from Lin Nuan before she tossed them aside made the production crew feel that something was amiss. Some of them had stopped their work and looked over…

Many of Peng Yanzhi’s fans had come, and they were discussing amongst themselves since they weren’t sure what the situation was.

Peng Yanzhi’s words made Lin Nuan feel that she was there to look for trouble.

Lin Nuan glanced at the documents that Peng Yanzhi had tossed to the side, smiling with her eyes narrowed. “Miss Peng, we are the ones recording the show. We won’t be able to get the message across with your manager being the one to pass on the words. Therefore, we’ll still need to go through the questions together!”

“This is how I’ve always done recordings for shows!” Peng Yanzhi smiled and looked at Lin Nuan with a challenging glance.

The director ran over to ask Lin Nuan and Peng Yanzhi what the situation was. Miss Xia was caught in a traffic jam and hadn’t arrived yet. The director wasn’t sure how to handle a situation where the guest and the host were in a confrontation.

“Can we start filming?” the director asked.

“I can start anytime. It all depends on Sister Nuan!” Peng Yanzhi smiled sweetly toward the director.

The buck-passing caught Lin Nuan off guard.

Lin Nuan looked at the innocent-looking Peng Yanzhi, giving her approval toward Peng Yanzhi’s acting.

“I can start anytime as well. It depends on when Miss Peng finishes going through the questions with me!” Lin Nuan said slowly.

“Sister Nuan, I already said that my manager sent you the things to take note of. The recording is going to start soon. We don’t have the time to look through the densely-packed stuff that you wrote!” Peng Yanzhi opened her eyes wide as she looked at Lin Nuan, appearing as if she was a pitiful person being bullied.

“I’m sticking to the stance that the two of us are the ones going through with the recording. The messages won’t be able to get across with your manager being the one to pass them on. Therefore, we’ll still need to go through a rundown of the questions! This concerns the show’s quality!”

“Then, are we going to let the entire production crew wait over this? Sister Nuan… is this suitable?” Peng Yanzhi said weakly.

“Then why did Miss Peng only come out now when you knew that we needed to run through the questions 20 minutes before the recording?” Lin Nuan retorted without standing on ceremony.

Peng Yanzhi raised her hand to her chest, looking at Lin Nuan in disbelief and wearing an aggrieved expression. “Sister Nuan… I can understand that you’re angry that I came out late. But isn’t it going overboard to implicate the entire production crew because of me?”

Peng Yanzhi’s fans didn’t know what the situation was. However, when they saw their idol wearing a startled expression and saying something, they couldn’t help but talk amongst themselves…

“Why hasn’t the recording started yet?”

“I saw Yanzhi’s expression. She can’t possibly be getting bullied by Lin Nuan, right?”

“Why is she bullying our Little Rouge¹?”

“Hey! Director! Are you just going to allow your show’s host to bully the guest like that? Do you think that us fans are all dead?”

Quite a number of Lin Nuan’s fans were present as well, and they started bickering with Peng Yanzhi’s fans…

“Did you hear what they said? Our Nuan Nuan is bullying Peng Yanzhi?”

“Are they crazy? Are Peng Yanzhi’s fans all mad dogs who would bite others crazily?”

Lin Nuan listened as Peng Yanzhi’s fans and her fans started bickering. Her head started to ache, and she frowned.

You Nainai was standing below the stage. She felt anxious and didn’t know what she should do. The bickering between the two groups of fans grew increasingly intense. Some of them were so agitated that they stood up, appearing as if they were ready to get into a fight.

Miss Xia saw this scene the moment she rushed over. When she heard the story from You Nainai, Miss Xia asked You Nainai to help her hold her handbag, scarf, and coat. She picked up a microphone and turned her head to indicate for the staff to switch on the sound system, then went up the stage fiercely.

Peng Yanzhi’s manager was Miss Xia’s friend. It was because of her friend’s call that Miss Xia had inserted Peng Yanzhi before other celebrities, letting her appear on Lin Nuan’s show to gain some popularity. Miss Xia hadn’t expected this to bring Lin Nuan trouble, so how could she not be angry?

“Didn’t your manager tell you that you’d need to go through the questions with the host 20 minutes before the recording?” Miss Xia’s voice was enraged. She switched on the microphone and questioned Peng Yanzhi directly. Her loud voice made everyone below the stage fall silent momentarily.

Peng Yanzhi’s fans broke into a commotion again, wanting to charge up to the stage, but they were all stopped by the security guards…

Peng Yanzhi took a look at her fans, her expression appearing increasingly pitiful.

“I’m asking you a question! Where are you looking at?” Miss Xia frowned. “Your manager is a friend of mine. He pleaded with me over the phone and said that you had offended your company’s higher management and that they had cut off all of your resources. He was afraid that you’d be shelved and thus asked me to give you a chance to appear on the show! I only agreed to let you appear on the show on account of your manager, and I made it very clear that if you wanted to appear on my show, then you’d have to follow my rules! Why are you putting on airs here?”

Peng Yanzhi’s countenance was unbelievably grim. She hadn’t expected that Miss Xia would be so merciless with her words…

“Must one be bullied just because they’ve lost their standing? Aren’t you just Lin Nuan’s lackey? Why are you bullying our Little Rouge? What kind of lousy show is this? If our Little Rouge wasn’t going to appear on the show, we wouldn’t know that this show existed! What’s there to be arrogant about?”

“That’s right! This show’s production crew is full of bullies! Little Rouge, let’s not film this show! Let’s go! We’ll all support you!”
