Chapter 461: Provocation
[ Did I hear wrongly? Xia Wanyuan actually said to let Master Yuan Wanxia "continue to work hard"? No matter what, Master Yuan Wanxia is a senior. It's not appropriate for her to say this. ]
[ That's right. Master Yuan Wanxia is probably old enough to be Xia Wanyuan's father. I wonder who gave her the courage to judge the master. ]
[ I'm speechless. Young people nowadays are really crazy. They don't respect their teachers at all. ]
China still respected older masters. Now, seeing Xia Wanyuan's attitude, they were accusing her of not respecting people enough.
When Xia Wanyuan saw this news, she was very helpless. Could it be that they wanted me to praise him for his high standards, saying that he was unprecedented and unmatched in the future? I'm not that narcissistic.
Even Tang Yin and the rest were a little puzzled when they were doing public relations. Hasn't Xia Wanyuan always been good with her words? What's going on? Why can't she praise Master Yuan Wanwan a little?
The netizens discussed. In the end, Master Yuan Wan Xia specially posted on Weibo.
@ Yuan Wanxia: "Little friend Xia has always had a good relationship with me and doesn't care about those red tape. Everyone, don't worry too much."
The netizens were the best at imagining things. Now, in their eyes, Master Yuan Wanxia belonged to the type of person who was respected, disregarded former hatred, and was tolerant of others. In their eyes, Xia Wanyuan was considered an arrogant and ignorant young person.
Xia Wanyuan saw the comments online*: Alright, I'm split. On one hand, I'm respectable, but on the other hand, I'm arrogant and conceited.*
At this moment, the rankings for the first episode of Singer was announced. After two people were eliminated, a total of eight people advanced for the second episode. The two people who were eliminated were within everyone's expectations.
Soon, "Singer" entered the second episode's recording, and "Chinese Poetry Meet" entered the first episode's recording.
In order to show the greatest fairness, "China Poetry Meet" used a live-stream competition method to record directly. The national television station was full of confidence and did not do any post-production.
When Xia Wanyuan arrived at the national television station, the other contestants were already prepared.
"Celebrities nowadays really know how to hype things up. Even the country's traditional culture is used as a tool to hype themselves up."
Xia Wanyuan had just sat in the waiting room when she heard two middle-aged men whispering.
Since they were middle-aged, they were very concerned about their results. There were actually some younger children who participated in the competition, but they did not care about them.
Most of the contestants were young people from famous schools, and there were also people like them who had accumulated knowledge for many years. Only Xia Wanyuan was an exception. Not only was her school a pheasant school that had never been heard of, but her identity was also an entertainment celebrity.
The middle-aged men felt that it was embarrassing to compete with such a pretty face in the entertainment industry. Hence, the moment Xia Wanyuan entered, the two of them deliberately whispered to each other.
Xia Wanyuan glanced at the two nearly bald people beside her and gently knocked on the table. The two of them looked at her together.
"Be quiet." Xia Wanyuan's words had a dignity that made one involuntarily submit. For some reason, the two people who did not like her actually felt a little flustered when they saw Xia Wanyuan's snow-like eyes and did not speak further.
At that moment, the camera crew entered. Xia Wanyuan took out a cup and made herself a cup of tea.
The photographers had never seen such a calm contestant before, so they immediately gave her more shots.

In the camera, Xia Wanyuan took out a small box of tea leaves and placed them in a cup that was as clear as water. Black bamboo extended from the cup, and the tea leaves swirled in the teacup. As the heat rose, the entire cup was like a bamboo forest covered in mist.
[ I want to see the link to this cup in a second. If not, I'll beat everyone to death. ]
[ My instincts tell me that I definitely can't afford Xia Wanyuan's cup. ]
[ The person in front, your instincts are wrong. I can tell you that you can afford this cup too much. The link is here. Ci Yi this shop is simply a treasure shop. I want to buy every design. ]
While the program was recording, the netizens had already reached out to the porcelain shop to buy Xia Wanyuan's similar cup.
The orders and sales for Ci Yi had been increasing rapidly.
Soon, the first group's competition was completed, and a group winner was born. It was Xia Wanyuan's group's turn.
One group of 12 people stood on the field.
The national television station had always been rich and imposing. The stage effects of "Chinese Poetry Meet" were especially magnificent. The green bamboo on the stage swayed and looked quite beautiful.
"Alright, welcome all contestants. Next, whoever answers first will get the point. Please listen to the questions."
"When one is unconscious, they will know the time. Lovers don't sleep alone. But when they see a new person smile, they hear an old person cry." The word "unconscious" in the middle referred to? A Acacia Flower B Night Lavendar C Moon Flower."
Just as the host finished speaking, Xia Wanyuan pressed the answer button. "A".
"Correct!"
"What was the next sentence after Four seasons below Luofu Mountain?"
Xia Wanyuan: "Kumquats, red bayberries are reborn again."
"Correct!"
..............
"Correct! Congratulations to Xia Wanyuan for getting another 10 points!"
Originally, each group had five minutes to answer the questions, but Xia Wanyuan's reaction speed was too fast. In the end, their group finished all the questions in three minutes.
Furthermore, because Xia Wanyuan reacted quickly, Xia Wanyuan had answered all twenty questions alone. The two people who had just mocked Xia Wanyuan for being a vase could not even answer one question.
[???? I'm shocked. Is she that amazing? ]
[ F*ck... What kind of Asura Arena is this? Is Xia Wanyuan serious about her answer speed? ]
[... Is this real? Is Xia Wanyuan that amazing? ]
Not only were the live audience at the scene stunned, but the netizens watching the live broadcast were also stunned. After all, this was the first time they had seen a competition end so quickly in "China's Poetry Meet", and Xia Wanyuan had completely won.
As expected, Xia Wanyuan became the first in the group stage with a perfect score and entered the next round.
In the following group stages, the third, fourth, and fifth groups did not seem to win as easily as Xia Wanyuan. The team members fought for a long time before deciding the winner of their groups.
Finally, the champion of the first episode's group match would be chosen from these five people.
"China's Poetry Meet" might be called poetry, but it would also cover many other aspects. For example, the competition for the championship in the group stages was more difficult than the group competition just now. It involved many other things.
The five winners of the internal division stood on stage and the camera swept across them one by one. The others looked very nervous, as if they were facing a great enemy, other than Xia Wanyuan, who was very calm and could even be said to be standing leisurely on the stage, she did not look like she was about to start the PK match at all.
"The contestants are ready. Please listen to the questions.."
Chapter 463: It's Actually Him
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"The first question: What's the next sentence of Wang Anshi's Spring Night following "The fragrance of the golden furnace leaks out"?"
"The breeze is cold."
"Xia Wanyuan, ten points!"
"What's the next sentence after Luoyang's daughter cherishes color?"
"An independent and cosy fence."
.............
Xia Wanyuan was always calm, but the speed at which she pressed the button was faster than anyone else. Soon, the ten questions were over, and no one else could interrupt.
One reason was that their reaction speeds could not keep up with Xia Wanyuan's. The answers to every question were blurted out by her as soon as he finished reading them. It was not easy for them to react, but the speed at which they pressed the button was not as fast as Xia Wanyuan's.
In a series of 00000 results, Xia Wanyuan's 100 points directly left everyone behind.
The following competitions were even more incomparable. Xia Wanyuan advanced with full marks the entire way. The contestants who were in the same period as her turned green. They had thought that competing with this female celebrity in the entertainment industry would be the easiest win for them.
In the end, the person they thought was copper, was actually a King, and she was even a King in hell mode.
After the program ended, the video of Xia Wanyuan quickly answering questions became popular online. Even Xia Wanyuan's waiting area tea-making video became popular.
Looking at the orders that swarmed over, Shen Qian simply knelt down to this magical boss. This ability to bring goods was simply invincible.
Xia Wanyuan answered too quickly. Some netizens also questioned whether Xia Wanyuan had a script to read according to, but they lacked evidence. In the end, these doubts were drowned in the mixed voices.
After the recording, Xia Wanyuan walked out of the recording studio and met Wei Zimu, who was waiting outside with a cup of milk tea.
"Sister Wanyuan, congratulations. You did a great job. This is for you. I heard from other young ladies that this is delicious."
"Why are you here?" Xia Wanyuan reached out to take it.
"The Wei family is the sponsor of this program. I know you're competing here, so I came to take a look. You're amazing."
"Thank you." Xia Wanyuan inserted the straw and took a sip. Her eyes curved up, causing Wei Zimu's hand to move. He wanted to rub Xia Wanyuan's head, but in the end, he stopped.
"Where are you going now? Let me send you."
"No need. I can go myself. I still have something on." Xia Wanyuan prepared to make a trip to Bai Xiang Corporation. She did not know if the beverage she had asked them to develop last time had succeeded.
"Alright." Wei Zimu did not force her and took out a bag of throat medicine from his pocket. "You talk a lot during the competition. Bring this along to protect your throat."
"Okay, thank you."
Wei Zimu wanted to remind her again, but seeing that more and more people were passing by, he stopped and watched Xia Wanyuan leave the television station building.
Xia Wanyuan went to Bai Xiang Corporation to retrieve the first batch of samples. Shen Qian also sent the second batch of porcelain over.
The second batch of porcelain style changed to a painting in ink. The cup was light pink like a flower, bright and clear. Xia Wanyuan poured the bright red watermelon juice in, and the entire cup seemed to be dyed with color. It was beautiful and moving.
Xia Wanyuan drank a mouthful of iced watermelon juice in satisfaction. This Old Master Liu's skills were indeed not bad. He had completely achieved the effect I wanted.
Taking a picture of the cup, Xia Wanyuan posted it on Weibo. Her popularity was high to begin with, and due to her stunning performance in "China's Poetry Meet", her Weibo post instantly attracted countless people's attention.
The color that girls could most easily be tempted by was pink. Someone who was initially hesitating because of the ink department's style, saw the super good looking cup and fell for it.
The Ci Yi shop on Weibo was searcheduntil the server collapsed.
The second episode's recording of "Singer" followed suit. The theme of the second episode was different from the first episode, and the format of the competition had also changed. This time, it was a two-person competition, and each of the eight guests could bring in an external support.
Xia Wanyuan wanted to bring An Rao along, but the company sent news that they had already arranged a partner for her.
Xia Wanyuan raised an eyebrow when she saw her new partner for the first time.
It was actually him..
Chapter 464: Wifey, You're Too Much

The youth sitting in front of her was wearing a white skeleton T-shirt and a few metal rings on his hands. He sat lazily.
It was the singer who was a permanent resident in the bar the previous time. Seeing Xia Wanyuan walk over, the young man looked up and lowered his head.
"Come, this is your partner, Fang Jin, who the company found. Although the child is young, he's very talented in singing."
The company wanted to build a comprehensive image for Xia Wanyuan, so they wanted to start with the variety program of Singer and bring different feelings to the audience through different forms of music.
This Fang Jin was someone the company had dug up for a long time and had found with a good image and good singing skills. He would not hold Xia Wanyuan back.
"I know. He's indeed quite talented." Xia Wanyuan nodded. Although she had not listened for long the last time, this person's skills were indeed not bad.
Hearing Xia Wanyuan's words, Fang Jin looked up and met her cold gaze. He tilted his head and the corners of his lips twitched.
"Alright, then let's talk about the next episode's song."
Chen Yun moved a chair and sat beside the table. He wanted to chat with them, but who would have thought that the young man would stretch out his leg and turn his head to look at Chen Yun?
"You don't understand. What are you doing here?"
Chen Yun: "..." He glanced at Xia Wanyuan, who nodded. Then, Chen Yun left.
Unexpectedly, this youth looked like a thorn, but when it came to professional things, he was not as difficult to come into contact with as Xia Wanyuan had imagined.
The young man didn't seem to like to talk, so Xia Wanyuan started. She thought of the songs that the two of them could sing together and Fang Jin occasionally added.
After chatting for two hours, they finally settled on the song. Xia Wanyuan glanced at the time. It was almost time to get off work.
"Alright, if you have time, let's rehearse tomorrow," Xia Wanyuan said as she took the bag with the books and prepared to leave.
"Your songwriting is not bad. Your singing is not bad either," the youth, who had been silent all this while, suddenly said.
Xia Wanyuan was stunned. "Thank you."
The youth did not speak further. Xia Wanyuan left with the bag.
The youth behind looked at Xia Wanyuan's back and called outside.
"I saw her. She looks a lot like her mother. She's a small celebrity in China. There's a lot of news about her. I packed and sent it to your email."
---
Xia Wanyuan left the company building. The familiar Phantom was already waiting by the side. The chauffeur opened the car door and Xia Wanyuan sat in.
"You did well at the poetry meet." Jun Shiling pulled her into his arms and handed her an exquisite box.
"What is this?" Xia Wanyuan clicked on it and saw a beautiful necklace.
"It's a reward for passing the preliminaries," Jun Shiling said as he took the necklace and helped her put it on.
"Thank you, you're the best." Xia Wanyuan smiled at Jun Shiling.
"Okay? Is it good to have a younger brother?" Lin Jing would arrange Xia Wanyuan's schedule and pass tit o Jun Shiling. Jun Shiling had only just learned that Star Creation Entertainment had arranged a young and handsome youth to be Xia Wanyuan's partner.
"We're just filming a variety show together. Are you a jealous freak?" Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling helplessly.
Jun Shiling snorted coldly. "Sooner or later, I'll film variety shows with you and let them know who's your man. Those messy CPs have to be withdrawn." At the mention of this, Jun Shiling thought of Xuan Sheng and Xia Wanyuan's "Great Summer Pact" and felt very aggrieved.
"Okay," Xia Wanyuan casually agreed. "When the time comes, bring Xiao Bao and we'll go on variety shows together, okay, CEO Jun? Aren't you angry anymore?"
Xia Wanyuan had only said it casually. She did not expect that in the near future, the scene she had said would really be realized, and it would even cause a public dog food craze.
Shen Qian had always been in charge of the project in Dongshan. Initially, the project and construction had been discussed and the construction process was halfway done.
Some of the natives over there had heard some rumors and were suddenly unwilling to let the Ning Yuan Fund fix the road for them.
The locals relied on their numbers to force back the project workers. They refused to let the road repair project go any further.
The commotion was especially huge. The locals even had a conflict with the construction team. The media began to pay attention to this matter.
Shen Qian had a few ideas, but he couldn't decide for himself, so he found Xia Wanyuan.
ia Wanyuan listened to Shen Qian's situation.
"How far is Beijing from Dongshan?"
"The plane and bus will take five hours."
"Alright, then pick me up tomorrow morning. I'll go with you," Xia Wanyuan instructed on the phone.
Jun Shiling frowned when he heard that. After Xia Wanyuan hung up the phone, Jun Shiling pulled her into his arms with a hint of bitterness in his eyes.
"You definitely can't return that night after going to Dongshan. Xia Wanyuan, you're too much.."
Chapter 465: Come Back for You to Bully
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"I'll be back the day after tomorrow." Xia Wanyuan patted Jun Shiling's shoulder as if she was a leader consoling a subordinate. Jun Shiling almost laughed from anger.
Jun Shiling hugged Xia Wanyuan and did not speak. Xia Wanyuan leaned into Jun Shiling's ear. The heat pounced on his ear, making his heart surge. The words coming out of Xia Wanyuan's mouth made Jun Shiling even more excited. "I'll let you bully me once I'm back."
Jun Shiling's hand suddenly tightened as he looked at Xia Wanyuan with burning eyes. "Five times."
"Then I'm not coming back." Xia Wanyuan pretended to push Jun Shiling away.
"Okay, okay, okay. Once it shall be." Jun Shiling rubbed Xia Wanyuan's hair, thinking that it would not be up to her when the time came.
The next morning, Shen Qian waited for Xia Wanyuan in the company. Dongshan was a small place with no airport.
They could only take the plane to the nearest airport and change to another car.
There were many mountains on the way to the East Mountain. After a long and continuous mountain road, Xia Wanyuan and the rest finally arrived at the entrance to the East Mountain.
It was different from what Xia Wanyuan had imagined. Dongshan was not a deserted mountain village. In fact, the mountains were beautiful and the scenery was very good. However, because of the inconvenience of transportation, it was very difficult to go out. Even though they knew that this place was beautiful, not many people were willing to come.
"Let's go to the village." Xia Wanyuan got out of the car and wanted to take a look personally.
"Okay, I'll go with you." Shen Qian had stayed here with the melon seller aunt for a few days last time and was already somewhat familiar with this place.
Now, he brought Xia Wanyuan around the village. The soil here was not poor, and various fruit trees could be seen everywhere. Xia Wanyuan looked around. No wonder Shen Qian said that this was a very good fruit base.
Along the way, the thing that left the deepest impression on Xia Wanyuan was the god statues that could be seen everywhere. The people here were extremely superstitious. The profession of the sorcerer, which could no longer be seen outside, had a high status here. People had to go and ask for a fortune when they went out.
A large reason why the villagers did not allow the construction team to continue was because the people here had heard someone say that once the soil was touched, it would hurt the Feng Shui here and disturb the souls of their ancestors.
]Xia Wanyuan had a feeling that someone had deliberately released this rumor. "Have you found out who it is?"
"It was those melon sellers who bribed the sorcerers in the village. After all, after we repaired the road, the benefits they could gain from it would be completely gone." Shen Qian plucked a fruit from a tree at the side and placed it in the spring water to wash it before handing it to Xia Wanyuan.
"Superstition? That's easy." Xia Wanyuan took a bite, and the fragrance of the juice overflowed. "Do it like this."
Xia Wanyuan had instructed Shen Qian about some things. When Shen Qian heard this, he cast an admiring gaze at Xia Wanyuan. "CEO Xia, your method is really good. Do to them what they did to you. Now, those melon sellers have no choice."
With Xia Wanyuan's agreement, Shen Qian went to settle some matters while Xia Wanyuan strolled around the village herself.
The air in the mountains was good, and the spring water was clear. Wild grass and fruits could be seen everywhere. Xia Wanyuan took a small video and sent it to Jun Shiling.
In the office of the corporation, Jun Shiling was listening to Lin Jing report on work when his phone suddenly rang. Jun Shiling picked it up and looked at it with a gentle expression.
A basin floated across Lin Jing's heart. The basin was filled with dog food.
Thinking of Jun Shiling's promise to add another car to his year-end bonus, Lin Jing felt that dog food was actually quite delicious. He loved it..
