Rebirth: I Became Mr.President's Beloved-Chapter 1010: The Question Is, Does He Dare?
The first person to notice Meng Shu falling into the water was a deputy director from the production team.
She was carrying a pile of branded items and happened to pass by, catching sight of a figure sprawled by the piranha pool from the corner of her eye. When she looked closely again, she saw the wet back, the rippling water surface, and the school of piranhas, scaring her so much that she almost dropped the props in her hands!
They were piranhas, after all!
To create buzz and attract traffic, the program used real piranhas.
Though the piranhas in this pool were only half the size of a palm, were relatively mild, and had no history of harming people, who could confidently guarantee they wouldn’t attack someone?!
If a ’man-eating’ incident occurred, not only would this show certainly be canceled, but even the station would have to deal with the fallout!
Being completely panicked, she clutched the brand names tightly and shouted out, "Someone help, there’s someone in the water!"
Enduring the pain on his behind, Meng Shu managed to steady himself on the ladder, just as his right foot stepped on the underwater stairs, he heard the hysterical cry ’Someone fell into the water.’
"..." Damn it!
He wanted to stop the person, but couldn’t overpower her loud voice, which was as harsh as a broken gong!
In a matter of seconds, people rushed in from all directions.
"It’s President Meng from VG!" Yang Ning was among the first to arrive.
When she recognized who had fallen into the water, her expression changed dramatically; she urged the staff to rescue him while her feet were firmly planted and refused to move forward even a bit.
Meng Shu was dragged from the pool along with the fish.
People caught sight of the piranha and simultaneously their expressions changed.
Especially, as the director pulled the fish down, everyone else felt a tightness in their bottoms.
——That fish’s sharp teeth must really hurt!
Tang Li arrived late with Yu Sui.
"What happened?" Yu Sui, holding a black umbrella, squeezed her way inside.
Guan Xiao’s assistant turned back and softly said, "It’s the sponsor from VG cellphone, accidentally fell into the pool and got bitten by piranhas!"
Yu Sui listened, and immediately looked at Tang Li, silently urging her.
——Urging her to quickly go and watch the commotion.
Tang Li, holding a mini fan, strolled over beside Yu Sui, while over there, Meng Shu was being assisted to stand.
Speaking of Meng Shu, he was indeed very good-looking.
Even when soaked, he had the aura of a beauty emerging from the bath.
Yet, most beauties have tempers, and Meng Shu was no exception.
In front of everyone, it could be said his embarrassment was immense.
Once stable, he brusquely shook off the hand of the staff supporting him; due to excessive force, it inevitably affected the wound on his behind.
——Does it hurt?
——Of course, damn it!
But he endured, showing no expression.
The head director took the dry towel handed by an assistant and draped it over Meng Shu’s shoulders, covering the soaking floral shirt, while instructing the assistant, "Take President Meng to the resting room first, change into clean clothes, and have the medical staff with the crew check him out."
Meng Shu was about to leave with the assistant when a discordant voice came from the crowd. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
"Why is his behind bleeding?"
Meng Shu: "..."
Yu Sui covered Tang Li’s head with the umbrella while sighing, "Indeed, nine out of ten people have hemorrhoids, no matter how handsome the guy is, he still gets them!"
"So, when out, it’s best not to wear white pants unless necessary."
With an indifferent attitude, Meng Shu had already figured out who it was.
His fall into the pool, of course, wasn’t because he slipped.
——He was evidently kicked into it!
Earlier, beside the fish pool, there was no one except Tang Li.
Even if Tang Li slipped away quickly afterwards, Meng Shu knew it was her who did it!
However, catching a thief with evidence was impossible since filming hadn’t started yet, and the cameras nearby were off, not capturing the moment Tang Li kicked him.
Moreover——
Even if there were witnesses, he’d have to say he fell into the pool himself.
He didn’t fear Tang Li, but was apprehensive about Song Baiyan behind her.
If the incident escalated to Song Baiyan, it would become endless trouble.
Even after years, he remembered Song Baiyan kicking Song Jinyang’s uncle at Yunqi Villa.
It kicked three ribs directly broken.
Song Baiyan’s temper was far from as good as it appeared on the surface.
He dared provoke Tang Li privately but never intended to face Song Baiyan directly.
Tang Li knew Meng Shu’s frustration of course; she could kick him and wasn’t afraid he’d publicly challenge her, but the question was——dared Meng Shu do it?
When others left, Tang Li squatted by the fish pool.
"Careful!" Yu Sui pulled her, avoiding the piranhas in the pool.
Perhaps attracted by the smell of blood, the piranhas were still lingering by the poolside.
Tang Li scooped a spoonful of chopped shrimp shells from the nearby feed basin and scattered it into the pool; recalling Meng Shu’s limping figure, she couldn’t help but say, "These Red Bellies aren’t mature yet, their courage is the smallest among piranhas." If it were a pool of Agaricus blazei, Meng Shu wouldn’t have been able to save his behind today.
"What a pity."
"What a pity about what?" Yu Sui was curious.
Tang Li put the feed spoon back into the basin, "It’s a pity today’s recording, the part with crossing the piranha pool will definitely be removed."
Half an hour later, Tang Li’s guess was confirmed.
The program replaced the ’shooting arrows to cross bridge’ segment with ’shooting arrows to fill lyrics.’
For the rest of the day, Meng Shu didn’t appear again.
Also, as a result of the sponsorship dad being bitten, the entire recording went exceptionally smooth, with neither host nor guest causing any trouble.
It was already 7 PM when the program ended recording.
Tang Li had just showered when Yu Sui returned with takeout.
She quickly shut the door, acting mysteriously, "Guess what I saw?"
"..." Looking at her gossiping face that practically screamed ’Ask me! Ask me!’, Tang Li cooperated and asked, "What did you see?"
"It’s Yang Ning!" Yu Sui whispered, "She went to the hospital to see that President Meng, wrapped up tightly, and had her assistant covering!"
While speaking, she took out her phone, "I recorded it all, let’s buy her a trending spot, and hire some trolls, given she’s just broken up with that model boyfriend, we could say she’s having an aff—"
"Hold off on the affair." Tang Li interrupted, taking the takeout bag, "While you’re busy hiring trolls, she might just make it onto the hot search herself."
Yu Sui: "???"
Ten minutes later——
Seeing the top of Weibo’s hot search list [Yang Ning’s romance],Yu Sui felt the pig’s trotters in her hands were no longer appealing, "She actually [trended]?"
Tang Li wasn’t too surprised seeing the hot search.
Yang Ning was a well-established flower Dan role in the entertainment industry, soon approaching her thirties, her love life has been under close scrutiny these past two years. Once exposed by a marketing account to have a relationship with a billionaire, regardless of the truth, she’ll surely trend on the hot search.
Moreover, this time the marketing account released a short video.
It was the footage of Yang Ning entering the hospital.
"Could it be she leaked it herself?" Yu Sui turned to look at Tang Li.
Tang Li, of course, guessed this was Yang Ning directing herself.
As for why she did it——
Because tonight happened to be the premiere of "The Brightest Star."
