"The nerve, just because your little one isn’t as popular as ours, you resort to dirty tricks. Shameless! Even willing to cheat." Ye Yiyi was stomping mad, hair on end, "I’ll curse that shameless woman to death."

Ye Lu hurried to hold her trembling little body, comforting her, "Let it go, my baby Yiyi, it’s just about participating in the show, it doesn’t matter whether you guys win or not. Your cuteness and popularity are evident to all, whether we win an award or not, we don’t mind."

Unspoken rules like these are everywhere, especially after seeing the bidding process, she understood better. There was no way to fight against these wealthy people.

They hold power and wealth. No matter how hard you try, it’s fruitless.

"I refuse to accept this. When have I, Ye Yiyi, ever lost to someone else?" The little lass just couldn’t bear it.

"You didn’t lose, but what can we do if others are playing the nepotism card?"

"Nepotism? Hmmm...." Ye Yiyi snorted a few times, her eyes lighting up suddenly. Don’t think that only Little Tangyuan can pull that sort of stunt, she could do it too. Her Daddy dearest is quite the big deal too.

The little girl immediately grabbed her phone and ran far away, adopting a mysterious air.

Third Young Master Jun turned on the TV.

Feiyu was surprised, "Third Young Master, since when did you become interested in variety shows, especially ones aimed at children?"

Third Young Master Jun casually raised an eyebrow: "Yiyi’s participating in the show."

Feiyu immediately leaned in. Sure enough, there were Ye Yiyi and her siblings on the screen. He widened his eyes, "Such a wicked pair participating in this sort of show is definitely to crush others. They use other people’s intelligence to highlight their own, those poor kids."

"My daughter, of course, is a genius that garners everyone’s attention. Others can only serve to highlight her superiority, the rest can**** off."

Feiyu shook his head, even if you love your own child so much, you can’t belittle other people’s children like that.

"The problem is, in such a show, they dare to be unfair to my daughter, even trying to vote her off!" Third Young Master Jun narrowed his eyes, clearly in a bad mood.

"Hmph! Dare to bully my, Third Young Master Jun’s daughter? Looking for trouble! Nepotism, you said? Let’s switch to nepotism mode then! Feiyu, get to work!"

"Third Young Master, what are you planning to do?"

Feiyu grimaced, using him, a computer genius for such a trivial matter was surely overkill. Moreover, nitpicking over a trite kids’ variety show was immature, right!

"If you want to favor Yiyi, one call to their station head will ensure they won’t dare to even peep, and Yiyi will immediately be declared the champion."

"Am I the sort of person who’d do things so crudely?"

"..." You’ve always been...

"That’s too boring. I want my daughter to win fair and square so that no one can object."

...

Ye Lu sat with the audience. The anticipation she’d been feeling was gone, she told herself that it’s all about participating in the show. When it comes to these covert competition dynamics, she simply couldn’t compete.

The other’s mother was a huge star and the father was immensely wealthy. As ordinary people like her, they couldn’t possibly compete.

The next game segment was trivia knowledge questions. Ye Lu thought that Tang Xin had probably instructed the program team to use her preferred questions; it didn’t look like her two precious little ones would have a hand in this.

However, the first question that appeared on the screen was a surprise.

"Uh, this is a math question. Eleven times six, plus eight to the power of three, minus thirty-three percent of a tenth of three, then divided by..." The host read out a string of operations, a total of ten arithmetic combinations. Even he was at a loss; he couldn’t do the calculations on this one.
