Chapter 211
Shen Qingqing and Lu Zheng were on the verge of a breakdown.
They had never been in such a filthy, chaotic environment in their lives.
It was hard to believe that people could actually live in this place.
In reality, the room was quite cozy, a standard two-bedroom apartment.
However, the smell was overwhelming. They could detect a pungent odor from 50 meters away.
As they got closer, the smell grew more intense, and in the last 10 meters or so, the nauseating stench hit them like a wall.
Shen Qingqing kept reminding herself that cameras were rolling and she needed to be more gentle, but she couldn't help it - her face was as cold as frost.
Lu Zheng was even more direct, telling the PD beside him: "Let's pause for a moment, I have something to take care of!"
The online viewers in the livestream room immediately perked up with interest.
"Don't cut it off, I want to hear this part!"
"Looks like Lu Zheng is about to use his money power!"
Shen Qingqing felt slightly relieved when she saw Lu Zheng speak up.
Perhaps it was because when she looked at Little Fatty, her eyes seemed to contain daggers.
Even the online viewers found that look a bit unsettling.
"What on earth are these lovebirds trying to do? Little Fatty is so unlucky to be grouped with them, this is clearly mental pressure."
"Yeah, you have to accept the outcome of the draw."
"If you don't want to live there, who does? Since you drew it, find a way to improve your living environment."
"Earlier, Shen Wei made that run-down little room look beautiful, that's the right way to handle it."
"How can Shen Qingqing compete with Shen Wei like this? Their mindsets are completely different."
"Am I the only one who feels sorry for Little Fatty? He's so pitiful."
"Yeah, he was happily entertaining everyone with his clapper talk earlier, and now he looks so nervous. It really hurts my heart to imagine being in his shoes."
Lu Zheng wanted to negotiate with the director about not wanting to stay here, but the director deliberately ignored him, saying it wasn't possible and that they had to follow the rules.
The director's stubbornness infuriated Lu Zheng: "How much money do you want? This place is unlivable."
The director pretended not to hear, which almost drove Lu Zheng mad.
Lu Zheng then reached out to grab the camera, furious at the thought of his angry outburst being broadcast live.
Cameras are always the most important property in a production team.
As soon as he tried to snatch it, others rushed in to protect it.
Lu Zheng was already exhausted, and being provoked repeatedly, he wasn't known for his good temper. He punched the cameraman in the face.
The live broadcast caught it all.
This was a major live streaming incident.
The screen immediately switched to the seaside room of Gu Qingyan and Mu Zhixing.
But the audio was out of sync.
The sounds of fighting and angry shouting could still be heard from the other side.
Lu Zheng had become the first person to fight on a variety show.
In the past, even if artists were dissatisfied, they would just pretend.
At most, they would argue or throw a tantrum.
But who would resort to physical violence on a live show?
Sure enough, as soon as he got physical, word spread quickly, and his popularity soared.
Everyone had thought that Lu Zheng, as a rich second-generation, would at least be graceful and elegant.
They never expected him to be so volatile.
Many people went to Lu Group's official Weibo account to hurl abuse, wanting to know why the chairman would raise such a child.
Lu Group's stock immediately dropped two points.
Billions in assets vanished in an instant.
When Old Man Lu learned about this, he nearly had a heart attack from anger.
He immediately called his son, but Lu Zheng's phone was with the director's team.
There was no way to contact him at all.
Old Man Lu was about to be killed by his foolish son.
Why on earth did he agree to go on this show when everything was fine?
He heard that his son had volunteered for it.
And now that he was on it, he couldn't behave himself and had to cause trouble.
Old Man Lu was furious beyond measure, regretting why he had such a son in the first place.
Thinking about what his son had done, which had clearly become a laughingstock in their elite circles, even he as a father couldn't hold his head high anymore.
The reason Lu Zheng could be so reckless was that he was the sole heir to Lu Group.
There was no one else to compete with him.
The more Old Man Lu looked at his son, the more incompetent he seemed. To be so bewitched by a woman to this extent.
Moreover, Lu Zheng was impulsive and quick-tempered, with no brains when facing problems. Handing over such a large corporation to him in the future would be a waste.
It would be better to make plans early.
Seeing his son being so unfilial, he had no choice but to find another way.
He decided to have another child, to prevent his vast empire from being ruined by his unworthy son.
When he was younger, he never thought about having more children.
Now at this age, having another child was truly being forced by circumstances.
At this moment, Lu Zheng was still unaware that his father had given up on him.
He was still dealing with the situation. Because of his attempt to snatch the camera and his assault on the cameraman, his behavior was so egregious that the entire crew came to mediate.
Lu Zheng initially wanted to leave on the spot, at most paying the breach of contract penalty.
But when he saw the figure for the penalty, he was shocked.
The breach of contract penalty was actually 300 million yuan.
Even though Lu Zheng was rich, he couldn't just throw away hundreds of millions of yuan like it was nothing.
With people constantly trying to persuade him, he finally calmed down reluctantly.
At this point, the live broadcast cameras were mostly focused on the others.
Mu Zhixing and Gu Qingyan were choosing their rooms.
The online viewers couldn't help but sigh: "It's feast or famine - some people are crammed into one room, while they each have a room to spare."
Mu Zhixing was very considerate and chose a room in a corner.
But Gu Qingyan insisted she take the largest room.
The largest room had floor-to-ceiling windows with a view of the sea.
And the sunlight streaming in was truly beautiful.
Mu Zhixing liked it very much.
But she was used to being cautious and felt embarrassed.
Gu Qingyan said, "It's fine, I've often stayed in rooms like this before."
He said it casually, but the online viewers were envious.
"Jealous to the point of distortion."
"The young master of Gu Corporation. His family has so many hotel businesses, he must always stay in five-star hotels or large suites when traveling."
"What we envy is already commonplace for them."
Gu Qingyan didn't know what the bullet comments were saying. He just told Mu Zhixing, "I'm a guy, I can stay in any room. You take this one!" Then he chose another room for himself.
"I want to go see Sister Principal," said Mu Zhixing.
Gu Qingyan replied, "Then let's go take a look."
"Okay!" Mu Zhixing took Gu Qingyan's hand of her own accord.
Gu Qingyan was a bit surprised by the honor.
When they arrived at the classroom shared room, they were stunned by the sight before them as soon as they entered.
It had looked dilapidated before.
Now it was decorated with bonsai plants and ornaments, looking very pretty, a world apart from before.
Mu Zhixing's eyes lit up: "So cool!"
Everyone was sleeping soundly.
Mu Zhixing wasn't very sleepy at first, but seeing others fast asleep,
She started to yawn softly.
Shen Wei forced her eyes open slightly, and seeing that Mu Zhixing was there, she waved her hand groggily.
Mu Zhixing immediately ran over to snuggle with Shen Wei.
The online viewers were melting from the cuteness.
Shen Wei took off the little one's shoes and hugged her onto the bed. The baby happily lay down next to Shen Wei.
As soon as she lay down, she felt the mattress was exceptionally soft.
Even children who weren't sleepy would feel drowsy, and in such a warm, comfortable, and safe environment, Mu Zhixing fell asleep instantly.
Gu Qingyan never expected that they came together, but he left alone.
The online viewers were still laughing.
"Did you see Gu Qingyan's envious look just now? He also wants to sleep in the same bed with Shen Wei."
"How inappropriate!"
"I feel like Gu Qingyan's inner monologue is that he really wants to switch souls with Mu Zhixing."
"The person above is talking as if nobody else wants that."
"Everyone's discussing them, but is no one curious about what happened after Lu Zheng hit someone? I saw that it's already reached the top of the entertainment hot search list."
"I can't believe it, so this side is like an art film, while that side is an action movie?"
"What the hell do you mean by action movie? I've only seen people hitting others on camera in law enforcement shows before."
"So what happened in the end? Can someone release an official video explaining it? I'm dying to know."
