The show's crew appeared on the plane at some unknown point.
The manager cursed inwardly. Was the production team trying to force a romantic narrative between Jiang Yanchen and Ji Zhaoxi?
This was absolutely unacceptable!
The camera crew was being quite sneaky, too, filming Ji Zhaoxi one moment and Jiang Yanchen the next. It was obvious they were gathering footage to make post-production editing easier.
At this moment, the manager absolutely loathed the production team.
He squeezed out a smile and feigned surprise. "Is that Miss Ji?"
Ji Zhaoxi looked at them with equal surprise. "Best Actor Jiang is here too?"
The manager's smile was uglier than crying. "Wow, what a coincidence."
Ji Zhaoxi's eyes curved into a smile. "We really do have a connection. Great minds think alike."
The manager's face stiffened. "It is indeed quite a coincidence."
He really couldn't handle this Ji Zhaoxi.
He looked at his own artist beside him, who was still looking down, completely absorbed in a video game.
The manager covered his face in despair.
Once they were officially filming the show, he felt like Jiang Yanchen's popularity was going to be sucked dry by Ji Zhaoxi.
Ji Zhaoxi smiled softly at the camera and started cueing the program flow herself.
"Actually, I didn't want to come at first. I know everyone doesn't want to see me, but the director and I are actually really good friends. Since it's his first time shooting a variety show, I couldn't just disrespect him like that."
The cameraman stumbled upon hearing this.
As expected of her, she wouldn't even spare the director's popularity.
The director, who was witnessing all of this: ...
The live comments were also going wild.
[It's starting already, can we send comments now?]
[??? Why does Ji Zhaoxi know the director?]
[Ji Zhaoxi seems to have studied abroad. Could she be some wealthy heiress?]
[Now I understand why Ji Zhaoxi was the last one announced. Turns out she really has backing.]
[Is there something wrong with Jiang Yanchen's manager? Why did he talk to Ji Zhaoxi just now?]
[What exactly is Ji Zhaoxi's background? How has she not been kicked out of the entertainment industry yet?]
[Could the director be Ji Zhaoxi's boyfriend? They are really forcing her down our throats.]
Ji Zhaoxi smiled softly at the camera again.
Then she started taking selfies.
Promotional photos were very important.
When the company did PR cleanups online, they would definitely need to flood the feed with her beautiful pictures.
Ji Zhaoxi tossed her hair and turned to look to the side. The manager immediately went on high alert, staring at her sternly.
Ji Zhaoxi just smiled and turned back around.
The manager was completely baffled by Ji Zhaoxi's glance, entirely dumbfounded.
What was Ji Zhaoxi trying to do? Was she going to pounce on them later?
Was she going to start spreading rumors in front of the camera? How should he handle it?
Was she trying to force a pairing with Jiang Yanchen? What if she really leeches all of Jiang Yanchen's popularity on the show?
The manager's psychological pressure grew heavier and heavier until he suddenly broke down. He ran to the bathroom and cried bitterly. The cameraman hurried to follow, guarding outside the bathroom and recording the manager's sobs.
The fact that Jiang Yanchen's manager cried because of Ji Zhaoxi instantly hit the trending searches.

Over here, Ding Li was still organizing Ji Zhaoxi's upcoming resources when the next second, she saw Ji Zhaoxi on the trending list.
She was stunned.
The show just started and she's already trending?
Her artist's ability to create a stir was truly too formidable.
Jiang Yanchen's manager cried in the bathroom for a long time before finally coming out.
Jiang Yanchen: ...
He had no idea what the man was crying about.
He couldn't be bothered to care.
Ji Zhaoxi also hadn't expected to bring such immense pressure to Jiang Yanchen's manager, and didn't dare look at him anymore.
Until they got off the plane, Ji Zhaoxi didn't initiate any more conversations with them.
But after getting off the plane, the manager became even more melancholy.
"Yanchen, you must remember the things the company instructed you to do."
Do not agree to be paired up with Ji Zhaoxi, do not let Ji Zhaoxi steal your screen time, and do not give Ji Zhaoxi any opportunities to take advantage of you.
These three golden rules were made by Jiang Yanchen's company after an emergency meeting that lasted all night.
The crisis level of this show was heavier than ever before.
It wasn't just Jiang Yanchen's company; the other guests' companies had also formulated a series of plans specifically targeting Ji Zhaoxi, all to prevent her from leaching off their popularity.
The guests arrived at the designated location one by one.
The directing team also arranged the same question for everyone.
"What is your impression of Ji Zhaoxi?"
Every guest's impression was largely the same, clearly having been trained beforehand.
But this wasn't what the director wanted.
"You think she is an excellent actress, what makes her excellent?"
The guest choked up for a second: "She is very serious when filming."
Director: "Have you filmed with her?"
The guest fell silent for a moment: "No, I just think so."
The director suddenly realized: "You think so? Does that mean you have a very good first impression of her?"
The guest instantly became alert: "I have a good impression of everyone."
The director smiled: "Then 'everyone' definitely includes Ji Zhaoxi, right? That means the same thing."
Guest: ...
Jiang Yanchen also went through this kind of interrogation, but he didn't give much face.
Director: "You said you have no feelings about her? Does that mean you don't hate her or you don't like her?"
Jiang Yanchen frowned: "Neither."
Director: "You guys were just on the plane together. What did you think of her? Is she what you imagined?"
Jiang Yanchen: "..."
Director: "Why aren't you speaking? Your manager was angered to tears; you can't possibly have no thoughts at all."
Jiang Yanchen said impatiently: "Was this show created just for Ji Zhaoxi?"
Director: ...
Jiang Yanchen left the interview room.
[Is the director sick in the head? Do you really have to ask every guest about Ji Zhaoxi?]
[Well done, Jiang Yanchen!]
[The director acts like Ji Zhaoxi's ultimate fanboy, always asking people about their impression of her.]
[What's wrong with asking? As a passerby, I just want to watch the drama.]
At this time, Ji Zhaoxi also entered the interview room.
As soon as Ji Zhaoxi saw the director, she started greeting him: "Long time no see! Is it tiring to run this kind of show?"
The director looked at the overly familiar Ji Zhaoxi and doubted himself for a second. He remembered that the two of them had never actually met before, right?
He cleared his throat: "I just asked Jiang Yanchen a question about you, and he refused to answer."
Ji Zhaoxi smiled bitterly: "He's always like this."
The director didn't expect her to get into character so quickly, and the corner of his mouth twitched: "Are you very familiar with Jiang Yanchen?"
Ji Zhaoxi lowered her head: "We... are not close."
The director let out an oh: "But your expression makes it look like you know him very well."
Ji Zhaoxi sighed: "If you say we're close, then we're close."
Director: ...
The live comments were also completely confused at this point.
[Can someone tell me if Ji Zhaoxi and Jiang Yanchen are actually close or not?]
[Definitely not close! Ji Zhaoxi, can you stop leeching off him?]
[I've been crying. How could my precious baby ever be a match for Ji Zhaoxi?]
[Jiang Yanchen is so pitiful, having his popularity leached off just like that.]
[Don't be sad, everyone. I can guarantee that Ji Zhaoxi and Jiang Yanchen are definitely not close. She pretends to be close with this person and that person all day long, but do you see anyone paying attention to her?]
Whether Ji Zhaoxi and Jiang Yanchen were close or not hit the trending searches again.
