The time for the variety show was approaching. No matter how angry Ji Yao was, she could only follow the original arrangements and start filming Beautiful You.

On the first day of Beautiful You’s broadcast, Gu Xiao also pulled Chu An along. She sat at home and turned on her computer, planning to see how Beautiful You was doing.

The moment the live-stream opened, it was filled with comments from fans of several famous actors and celebrities who were guests on the show.

Gu Xiao was a little impatient and closed the bullet screen in the live-stream.

Gu Xiao leaned on Chu An’s shoulder and looked at the computer not far away.

“What do you think will happen to them?” Gu Xiao looked at the host, who was introducing the general content of the variety show, and asked Chu An, who was beside her, in boredom.

Chu An sat up straight and adjusted the angle of his body so that Gu Xiao could lean more steadily and comfortably against him.

“This theme is not bad. Coupled with the fact that our countrymen value our country’s culture now, if they focus on it seriously, it shouldn’t be too bad.” As Chu An spoke, he paused and chuckled. “However, they’ve already lost a large portion of the audience by inviting Ji Yao to the variety show. I’m afraid it’ll be much harder for them to do well than us.”

Even though this variety show had already started broadcasting, there were still many netizens boycotting Ji Yao’s existence on the official Weibo account. They said that as long as Ji Yao was on the show, they would not contribute a single viewer rating.

Other than the netizens, even some radical fans of the guests were using this method to boycott this variety show.

To be honest, he really did not have an optimistic opinion of this variety show.

“That’s true, but someone like Ji Yao won’t give up until she is at the end of the rope. She won’t aggrieve herself to fulfill the greater purpose of this show either.”

Gu Xiao said calmly as she looked at Ji Yao’s smiling face on the screen. There was no emotion in her eyes.

Now, Ji Yao was no longer the focus of her attention. Or rather, she had already left Ji Yao far behind and Ji Yao was not worth her attention.

After watching the variety show seriously for a while, Gu Xiao could not help but yawn.

She straightened up. “I don’t think there’s any need to continue watching. There’s still work to be done. I’d better deal with it!”

Such a variety show was not worth her time at all!

Upon hearing this, Chu An glanced at the variety show that was still playing and nodded in agreement. He turned off his computer and accompanied Gu Xiao to work.

Just like what Gu Xiao and Chu An had said before, the core idea behind Beautiful You was not bad. However, the guests Li Wen invited for Ji Yao were already considered relatively big shots in the entertainment industry. Such people naturally wouldn’t lower themselves and prepare seriously for the variety show to have better effect.

Therefore, the audience could only watch as the award-winning actors and actresses held their lofty positions and pointed at the desolate scenic spots in the live-strime. They did not show off the unique charm of the scenic spots at all and only dryly repeated the script that they had prepared long ago.

It had only been three days since Beautiful You started broadcasting, but the number of viewers in the live-stream kept declining. Only the fans of the Best Actors and Best Actresses were left struggling to hold on.

The director behind the scenes could not help but seek out Ji Yao in private.

“Miss Ji, the situation in the live-stream is really not good. What do you think we should do next?”

For such a variety show with no prospects, it was usually cut off before the capital was completely exhausted to stop losses in time.

However, the director also knew that the purpose of this variety show was to promote this Miss Ji in front of him. He also knew that Miss Ji wanted to use this variety show to suppress The Vanished Beauty.

Therefore, if he really wanted to stop the losses in time, he could only get Miss Ji to agree first.

He really felt that there was no hope for his future. There probably wouldn’t be any miracles if he continued filming, so he wanted to persuade her to agree.

When Ji Yao heard this, she glanced at the director unhappily and asked arrogantly, “Not good? If not, why are you looking for me? Shouldn’t you reflect on yourself?! We invested 100 million yuan in this variety show! You’re telling me that the live broadcast isn’t good?!”

The director could not do anything about this willful investor. He wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.

“Miss Ji, there’s really nothing I can do about this. At the beginning of the broadcast, there were at least hundreds of thousands of viewers in the live-stream. However, there are too few people in the live-stream now. We can only choose to stop the losses in time.”

Ji Yao pursed her lips.. “Then how many people are in our live-stream now?”
