Chapter 388 - How Smart Was She?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Thanks to Film Emperor Qin’s fame, “24-hours Idol” was very popular online.

At 8:01 pm, the major video apps and famous TV broadcast it simultaneously.

The upper half of the video began to scroll through the real-time comments.

Qin Xiuchen glanced at it and didn’t turn it off.

Because Qin Ling had been injured halfway through the first episode, Qin Ran replaced him.

The camera slowly moved from Jing Wen waking up to Qin Xiuchen, who insisted on calling his niece in person.

As the camera aimed at Qin Ran’s room, the real-time comments started getting excited.

“Ahhhhhhhh! Film Emperor Qin is the greatest beauty!”

“I feel like the director team is very reluctant to film his niece. I hope her appearance won’t be too awkward.”

“It’ll definitely be awkward. Why did Film Emperor Qin suddenly have a niece? According to the news in the circle, he just recognized this niece. I think she has gone crazy wanting to become famous, right? I hope she won’t bring hate to Film Emperor Qin!”

“Am I the only one wondering if his niece has inherited his family’s good genes? I wonder what she looks like.”

“I have a hunch that Film Emperor Qin’s character set-up will collapse with the appearance of his niece.”

“Oh my God, he just recognized her? Hug your niece, Mother loves you!”

While the comments clamored fiercely, the scene had already switched to Qin Ran’s face.

Anyone watching the live broadcast could see that the real-time comments decreased by half, spammed with “Ahhhhhhhhhh.”

A lot of people became fans of her instead.

Jing Wen and her cousin were very humorous on the show, but when the scene of Qin Ran carrying a piece of wood alone was shown—

The real-time comments—

[???]

[???]

...

The comment section was densely filled with question marks of various colors.

In particular, the camera showed a close-up of the wood, clearly showing the sawdust on it.

Qin Ran casually put it onto the ground, gathering a bunch of dust.

The cameraman turned to Film Emperor Qin and Jing Wen’s cousin, who were both trying to lift the wood, and placed the meme of the black man with the questioning expression.

There was another frenzy of [Hahaha] in the comment section.

People originally said that Qin Ran had faked it, or that the piece of wood was fake. Now, these people were instantly speechless.

At the same time.

Ting Lan.

While leaning on the sofa to watch the show, Cheng Jin saw this scene and felt his feet slowly soften.

He almost knelt on the ground.

Blankly glancing at him, Cheng Mu bit onto a potato chip. “Are you okay?”

After asking, he took another bite of the potato chip.

Cheng Wenru was at home.

She took a piece of paper and stiffly wiped the water she had accidentally sprayed on the table, in a daze.

In Yunjin District.

Qin Hanqiu blinked several times, then grabbed Qin Xiuchen to ask him several questions before he believed that Qin Ran wasn’t faking it and it hadn’t been edited at all. He grabbed a melon seed in a daze and ate soullessly.

Bai Tiantian’s physics question wasn’t cut out, either.

Qin Ran solved the question too quickly, and the camera didn’t manage to capture where she was looking.

“Although I like this little sister... isn’t it a bit fake? This little sister has a script, right? I think Bai Tiantian and that Physics teacher both received instructions from the production crew...”

Someone in the comments section only shouted “Kneeling.”

Some people began to doubt the authenticity of the show.

Finally, Qin Xiuchen said that she was from Beijing University’s Physics Department.

“What the f*ck, Beijing University’s school tyrant!”

“Wait, not everyone from Beijing University Physics Department is like that. I couldn’t tell what was wrong, either!”

Several people believed her, but some didn’t, and even became anti-fans.

As for the Babylonian weekday system and Morse code hexadecimal...

Even the viewers were at a loss. Someone came back from searching online and directly worshiped this big boss.

“She was definitely given a script deliberately by the show crew. I have a hunch that Film Emperor Qin’s niece will enter the entertainment industry next. This variety show was probably to promote her? It’s a pity that they couldn’t grasp the scale well and went too far. I can’t believe it. (Smile)”

Many people thought so too.

Until the last password scene for the hidden sixth-order Rubik’s cube.

At that time, Film Emperor Qin, Jing Wen, and everyone else had yet to notice the process of Qin Ran solving the Rubik’s cube, but the camera managed to capture it.

Her hand speed was so fast it seemed like afterimages appeared in the camera.

While half-sitting on the table, she casually played with the Rubik’s cube and listened to Jing Wen and the others. From beginning to end, she never looked down at the sixth-order Rubik’s cube, and it completely turned into a trick toy in her hands.

“Have you noticed that when she played the Rubik’s cube, Film Empress Jing and the others were still talking behind? Their movements haven’t been sped up, so it seems like the production group broadcasted it normally?”

“Let me say something. Look at her expression, she’s not even looking at the Rubik’s cube, yet she’s still doing it with such ease. This probably isn’t her maximum speed...”

The comments were all verbal descriptions. Many people found something negative and said that Qin Ran was putting on a show and that the production crew was shady...

But the Rubik’s cube...

There was nothing to pick on nor any shadiness found.

The first episode only showed this much.

At the end of the broadcast, the director asked Film Emperor Qin to find two friends, but because of Bai Tiantian, it became Qin Ran’s job.

“???”

“What does Qin Ran mean?”

“Is the production crew serious?”

“(Smile) Waiting for Qin Ran’s ‘friend.’”

“What friends can she invite? Can’t she tell that the director wants to make use of Film Emperor Qin’s connections?”

“Fans of Film Emperor Qin, just focus on him and his niece, don’t be distracted by other celebrities~”

While the fans spammed question marks.

The production crew broadcasted the “Forecast for the next issue.”

Only one scene of Qin Ran’s friends’ arrival was shown, but it so exciting that they couldn’t control themselves.

“F*ck, who came? Ahhhhh, I’m so curious!!”

End of the program.

“Film Emperor Qin’s niece”

“Qin family’s beauty”

“24-hours Idol”

“24-hours Idol is shady”

These four hot searches occupied the hot search list at the same time.

**

In Yunjin District.

Butler Qin was originally surprised but managed to calm down later. He took a cup of tea and glanced at Qin Xiuchen. “I didn’t expect you to promote Miss Qin so much, but is it okay to make such a character set-up for her? People will curse the two of you.”

Babylon and the violin were too strange.

If she really came up with it, just how smart was she?!

Having followed Qin Xiuchen, Butler Qin had been influenced by the entertainment industry and also knew much about it. He clearly remembered that the industry liked to create character set-ups for people.

Hence, he subconsciously believed that Qin Xiuchen had arranged this character set-up for Qin Ran.

“There wasn’t any script.” Instead of glancing at Butler Qin, he stood up directly, his handsome face stained with frost, and his eyes gloomy.

He took out his phone and was about to make a call.

But his phone rang with a call from the manager. He had discovered something wrong after watching the live broadcast and had immediately called.

“You didn’t confirm with the director and told him not to edit according to the real situation?” Qin Xiuchen’s eyes were dark, and his low voice was laced with rare anger.

The manager was getting dressed and preparing to go to the studio. “I did. They said the content was already played under the supervision of President Jiang, so I wasn’t too concerned about it. Where are you now? I’ve notified the studio people to come back. We’ll work overtime and discuss countermeasures.”

Qin Xiuchen hung up.

The room was laced with a layer of low air pressure.

Unless experienced personally in the production crew, outsiders would find it hard to believe Qin Ran’s bug operation.

Let alone those watching the show.

This was exactly the case with the haters. She cracked the password in such a short time? This wasn’t the scope of normal people. Conclusion: It was all fake!

They would believe it if they were celebrities, but in their eyes, the real school tyrants and Gods’ super memory and super calculation ability were fake, because their own brains couldn’t reach such a height.

Qin Xiuchen had anticipated this when the show was recorded and had personally told the show team to pay more attention to the editing.

Don’t make it too mythical.

He had even reminded the manager several times after returning to Beijing.

After all, Qin Ran was so familiar with Jiang Dongye, and Film Emperor Qin felt like the director team was very discerning. Even without him, they wouldn’t want to offend Jiang Dongye and Qin Ran.

Hence, he hadn’t checked it personally.

Who knew that the director team really dared to edit like this!

Haters had already appeared in the comment section. If they were left alone, netizens would really slander Qin Ran.

Pursing his lips, Qin Xiuchen picked up the jacket that was set aside and directly opened the door.

He even forgot to bid farewell to Qin Hanqiu.

He closed the door.

Butler Qin was stunned for a long while before he slowly returned to his senses. He turned to Qin Hanqiu and Qin Ling in a daze. “Just now, what did the Sixth Master mean by not using a script?”
