She signed the contract but Jiang Baiwan had no experience in recording interviews, so she could only ask Tan Mi for help. However, Tan Mi was very busy these days, running promotions all over the country, so the two of them could only chat casually on WeChat. Jiang Baiwan still felt at a loss as to how to record the show.
As a result, this trouble somehow ended up with Luo Xiao, who came to eat Malatang. Luo Xiao immediately burst into laughter and he pointed at Jiang Baiwan with his chopsticks. “Why don’t you ask me? I’m very experienced.”
“You?” Jiang Baiwan looked at him suspiciously. “Do you often go to talk shows?”
Luo Xiao lifted his chin and said proudly, “What do you think? Isn’t it right for a young talent like me to be on shows often?”
Jiang Baiwan chuckled twice. “A young talent who rides electric bike every day to work? It’s the first time I’ve seen one.”
“It’s called frugality and simplicity.” Luo Xiao shook his finger. “If you don’t believe me, go and watch it yourself. The programs don’t fake it.”
Jiang Baiwan was skeptical but searched according to Luo Xiao’s instructions in the end. What surprised her was that Luo Xiao was actually a regular on shows and looked like a proper Gaofushuai[1] and a progressive young man when introducing himself.
“How about now, do you believe it?” Luo Xiao deliberately reached up and ran a hand through his hair, his ostentatious expression almost overwhelming. “I told you I’m on programs a lot.”
Jiang Baiwan looked at the handsome young man in the screen, and then back at the person in front of her with his legs crossed that was swaying from time to time, thinking that human beings were really deceitful creatures.
Luo Xiao saw the meaning behind Jiang Baiwan’s look and he tapped on the table with his chopsticks. “Do you still want me to teach you?
“Yes, yes, yes.” Jiang Baiwan immediately became subservient, extremely adaptable. “Tell me, what should I pay attention to?”
Luo Xiao glanced at her before unhurriedly telling Jiang Baiwan about his experience in recording shows. Although Luo Xiao usually acts like an ordinary otaku, at this moment, Jiang Baiwan could also notice that Luo Xiao knows his stuff.
The two talked for a long time until Luo Xiao’s mouth was so dry that he drank up the pot of tea next to him. Only then did they stop. “That’s it, just remember that few points. It’s your first time recording a talk show, but not an online variety show, so basically it won’t be too difficult for you.”
Jiang Baiwan was comforted by him and was slightly relieved. “I hope so, but I’m not the main character either, so the focus shouldn’t fall on me.”
“Interviews are not based on fame, but on who has more to talk about.” Luo Xiao ruthlessly broke Jiang Baiwan’s idea to cower behind Tan Mi. “You’d better prepare in advance. Ask Tan Mi about this matter, she has more experience than you.”
Jiang Baiwan slapped the table bravely. “It’s okay! I’m not afraid! Whatever stands in my way, I’ll defeat it!”
Luo Xiao’s eyelids drooped. “I hope so.” Jiang Baiwan didn’t think so herself, and might not know that she’s a conversation starter in the eyes of others.
This was something Lou Xiao kept inside his stomach and did not say out loud. He just ate his bowl of Malatang in silence and couldn’t help but began to look forward to what would happen in the interview in a few days.

On the day of the recording, it was still Tan Mi who picked up Jiang Baiwan. She was sitting in the driver’s seat, wearing sunglasses but without makeup. The woman who was originally full of sharpness looked softer than usual. “I didn’t have time before, and since we’re on the way, let me tell you a little about the recording.”
“It’s fine, I’ve already consulted a friend of mine.” Jiang Baiwan still dressed simply, looking like an ordinary girl. “He told me that interviews these days are all about straightforwardness. I just have to be myself.”
“Don’t!” Tan Mi stepped on the brake and looked at her with horror on her face. “You should hide your personality a little bit. If you get any more straightforward, I’m afraid this episode won’t be able to air.”
Tan Mi had not forgotten Jiang Baiwan’s unique performance during the recording of the variety show. Forget about how…… she conquered the audience and also the guests who recorded the show together with her.
Jiang Baiwan bristled. “Am I that scary? It’s like I’m a scourge the way you say it.”
“The host of our show today is known for her poisonous tongue and sharpness. I’m just afraid that you will get into a fight with someone on the studio.” Tan Mi restarted the car. “Besides, you only read the script before the show starts. Anyway, you should be more careful.”
Jiang Baiwan nodded as she sat in the passenger seat and suddenly said, “By the way, do you know that Shui Lan’er…… will be recording in the same studio with us?”
Tan Mi’s face turned unsightly. “I know. It’s just that when you’re in this circle, you will always see people you either like or dislike. That’s something I envy you for. You’re scatterbrained, so you can do whatever you want.”
And there’s Ji Chen and the entire Haochen Group in the back who are helping you.
Tan Mi kept this sentence in her heart and did not say it. She just looked at Jiang Baiwan with complicated eyes, and then went back to Shui Lan’er. “However, in public, it’s better not to have conflicts with others casually.”
Jiang Baiwan raised her eyebrows. It was unknown if she had listened to Tan Mi’s words.
When they arrived at the location, Jiang Baiwan and Tan Mi were immediately ushered into the dressing room. Although it was an online show, the surrounding staff carried out their work in an orderly manner and there was no sign of frenzy. Jiang Baiwan only felt that she was surrounded by people as soon as she entered. First, she was urged to change clothes, then she was pressed into a chair, and while doing her makeup, they talked to her about the script.
Jiang Baiwan was dazed and didn’t know what was said. After running over the script, her makeup was also done. Jiang Baiwan held the script that the staff handed her as she sat in her seat, unable to recover for a long time.
Tan Mi happened to be doing makeup next to her. She had changed several outfits in a row and was now only settling down. Seeing Jiang Baiwan’s bewildered expression, Tan Mi couldn’t help laughing. “What? Did they give you a scare?”
“I’m just in awe of their efficiency.” Jiang Baiwan looked down at the script in her hand. “Don’t worry about it, I’ll definitely record the show properly this time and be a pretty wallflower.”
As she spoke, Jiang Baiwan smiled at Tan Mi. The makeup artist had given Jiang Baiwan a very girly makeup, matching with her simple yet lively dress, she looks like a fresh flower bud, which people couldn’t help but like.
Tan Mi was also dazzled for a moment, but thinking of Jiang Baiwan’s natural character, she couldn’t help sighing. “It’s for the best.”

Shui Lan’er was on the dressing room next door. She heard the sound of people bustling outside the door, as if some very big names had arrived. She asked the little assistant on the side with some curiosity, “What’s going on outside? It’s so lively all of a sudden?”
“It’s the guest of the next door program who’s putting on makeup.” The little assistant had long since gone out to snoop around. “Do you remember, Sister Lan’er, it’s that web drama that’s been quite popular recently.”
Shui Lan’er thought for a while before remembering that web drama that had become popular due to the low budget and its cringiness. She couldn’t help wrinkling her small nose, looking rather disapproving. “I kind of don’t understand why that drama became popular?”
The little assistant was taken aback. She looked at Shui Lan’er and felt as if she had mentioned something that she shouldn’t. “Sister Lan’er, this…… Every individual has their own preferences. No one knows what can happen.”
“You don’t know.” Shui Lan’er retorted. “That drama seems long and drawn out, the plot is corny, and the acting skills of the actors are also average, yet it’s so popular. I can’t understand this kind of thing. As artists, shouldn’t we create the perfect work before presenting it to others?”
Shui Lan’er straightened her back and gazed at herself in the mirror, eyes filled with strange radiance. “You must remember that even though we are in the entertainment industry, we must still have our own bottom line and integrity.”
Little Assistant: “……”
“Sister Lan’er, let’s hurry up and get ready, we have a show to do soon.” The little assistant didn’t dare to continue the conversation and could only change the topic. “Look, time is running out.”
……Only then did Shui Lan’er restrain herself a little. She let out a faint sigh. “All right, I know.”
Outside the door, Jiang Baiwan and Tan Mi looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a while. Just coming back from the restroom, who would have thought that there would be such a ‘windfall’?
Tan Mi’s teeth were itching from anger. She gritted her teeth and tried to resist the urge to rush in and violently beat up Shui Lan’er. “No, we’re about to start recording the show now, we can’t start a confrontation with her at this time.”
Jiang Baiwan simply rolled her eyes. “You’re just afraid of things. Tan Mi, when did your temper become so good?”
“If you don’t want your shop, just barge in.” Tan Mi grabbed Jiang Baiwan and whispered to her. “Drop it. She can say what she wants. I make my own money and it has nothing to do with anyone. Don’t just cause trouble for yourself.”
Saying that, Tan Mi glanced at the tightly closed door in front of her, and her eyes narrowed. “She and I have ample time. There’s no rush.”
No matter how indignant Jiang Baiwan was, she was still dragged away by Tan Mi. When the crew members saw the two of them, they felt that the atmosphere was inexplicably strange—— Why does Miss Jiang and Miss Tan look as if they were very angry?
