CHAPTER 50: CHAPTER 50: SHE JUST WANTS YOUR BODY!

Pei Yan’s fans were immediately dissatisfied.

"Qin Yun! Stay away from our brother!!"

"Qin Yun is really annoying, can’t she stay away from our brother and leech off someone else?!!"

"Brother, don’t..."

"Everyone’s telling Qin Yun to stay away, how come no one’s telling your brother to distance himself?"

"Honestly, judging by their positioning, it looks like Emperor Pei himself moved closer, doesn’t it?"

"Agreed +1. The way they interact seems pretty harmonious. The previous trending topic might have been an accident. Otherwise, given Emperor Pei’s current status, he’s not one to be easily manipulated."

Although Qin Yun minded her own business and stayed in her own spot, she couldn’t prevent the main star from walking over to her.

The online uproar against Qin Yun went on without the recording crew knowing.

To avoid keeping everyone waiting, Wang Sirui quickly took a shower and came right back down.

The director, seeing everyone was present, began assigning tasks.

The show crew brought out six trays, each holding corn kernels, potatoes, dried tofu, dried sweet potatoes, lotus root powder, and dried chili peppers, respectively.

The director said, "You can choose to form a group by yourself, with one other person, or with two other people. Now please select one item to sell, and the money you earn will be the starting fund for your next round. How to sell it for a high price and get more money will be the key to winning the next round. Good luck everyone."

After speaking, the director gave another reminder, "A tip: in the next round, being solo will be disadvantageous."

As soon as the director finished talking, Qin Yun immediately looked towards Pei Yan, her beautiful eyes sparkling, no longer looking uninterested. At this moment, Qin Yun looked at Pei Yan as if he were a god of wealth.

"Let’s team up with Mr. Pei!" Qin Yun grabbed Yang Leqi, decisively making her choice.

In this kind of round, as long as you follow Pei Yan, you can’t go wrong.

Pei Yan raised an eyebrow at Qin Yun, an amused look in his eyes—she hadn’t acted like this earlier.

Qin Yun pretended not to see what Pei Yan’s eyes were suggesting. She wasn’t stupid; when it came to her own interests, everything else could wait.

Yang Leqi, who suddenly found herself in a group, was initially a bit stunned but then wanted to scream with excitement!

Sister Yun is amazing!

How generous!

She knew Pei Yan was her idol. Not only did she earlier let Pei Yan praise her dancing, but now she was also letting her be in a group with her idol!

She decided that from now on, her idol would be two people!

The director looked at the trio and asked, "Alright, does that mean you three are a group? No objections, right?"

The question was directed mostly at Pei Yan.

But Qin Yun and Yang Leqi spoke in unison, "None!"

Pei Yan didn’t speak, but his silent agreement was clear.

However, Pei Yan’s fans in the live chat did not agree!

"I told you Qin Yun has ulterior motives! Her teaming up with our brother is too blatant; it’s obvious she’s leeching for attention!!"

"Qin Yun should get out of the entertainment industry now! Such a disgraceful artist doesn’t belong here!"

"Production team! We don’t agree with our brother teaming up with Qin Yun. Report this, I’m going to report this!"

"Let’s report it together! We can’t let our brother be with Qin Yun!"

"Brother, how could you agree to this!! Don’t be fooled by this woman’s looks; she’s just after your (body’s) attention!"

"Make sure to protect yourself! Stay away from Qin Yun."

Within a few short minutes, fans had gone through several emotional phases.

From cursing Qin Yun when they found out she teamed up with Pei Yan, to reporting and boycotting to the program’s official outlets, and finally, urging Pei Yan to protect himself and stay away from Qin Yun.

The director, seeing Pei Yan having no objections, turned to the other three, "What about you guys?"

"Director, you mentioned that going solo in the next round would be disadvantageous, so we’ll also form a group of three," Wang Sirui said agilely.

The director nodded, "Alright, then choose one item."

"What should we choose?" Qin Yun asked Pei Yan.

"Corn kernels," Pei Yan chose without hesitation.

"???" Qin Yun and Yang Leqi were puzzled. Why?

You can’t eat or use these corn kernels. What’s their purpose?

Will they even sell well?

Qin Yun blinked suspiciously but quickly shook off her doubts.

She might doubt herself, but she couldn’t doubt Pei Yan’s ability to make money.

The three of them decisively took the large tray of corn kernels, bagged them up, and took off.

Wang Sirui, Chen Yao, and Qin Hao discussed it for a while, eventually choosing potatoes. The three of them headed in the opposite direction from Qin Yun and her group.

"Where are we going to sell these?" Qin Yun and Yang Leqi followed Pei Yan closely.

"To those selling popcorn," Pei Yan said nonchalantly.

His pace was leisurely, as if he wasn’t in a rush to find a place to sell, more like he was on a runway walk, showing no concern about not being able to sell.

The two unconsciously believed him and started looking.

Seeing how leisurely they were, the fans who had just watched the neighboring live broadcast were anxious, even forgetting to continue bashing Qin Yun.

Continuously checking back and forth, frantically crying out, but their brother just wasn’t noticing them.

"The others are already at the market ready to sell; why are you still looking, brother!"

"They’ve already made a sale! If you don’t hurry up, they’ll sell out!"

"Brother, why didn’t you choose something edible? It would sell faster."

"Ahhh, they’ve made another sale!"

"They’ve only got a bit left, 55555."

Compared to the frustration in the live chat, Qin Yun and her group were so leisurely it was like they were shopping.

Just as the others finished selling, Qin Yun spotted a tricycle selling popcorn and excitedly called out instinctively, "Pei Yan, that one, is this what you’re looking for?"

Pei Yan and Yang Leqi both looked over, "Yes."

No one noticed that Qin Yun instinctively called out Pei Yan’s name instead of Mr. Pei or Emperor Pei.

This kind of instinctive slip often indicates the most comfortable state.

However, at this moment, no one paid attention to this detail.

The group immediately headed towards the popcorn cart. The popcorn vendor was a woman in her forties, who thought they wanted to buy popcorn and quickly asked, "Do you want to buy popcorn? We have large and small sizes—15 for the large and 9 for the small."

"Ma’am, we’re not here to buy popcorn. We want to rent your stand for an hour. We’ll use our own corn and give you 3 per sale. If we don’t sell any, we’ll still pay you 50 in rent after an hour. Does that work for you?" Pei Yan swiftly and clearly negotiated with the woman.

The woman looked them over and noticed a cameraman following them around. She lightheartedly exclaimed, "Oh, my, are you filming a TV show?"
