Shuangwen Female Main Character Doesn’t Want To Be a Sensation #98

Hey, first of all, thanks for reading my lousy Machine Translation. To be honest, I’d really like it if you guys corrected the mistakes I made. But please speak nicely and politely. My heart is not strong enough to read your too-harsh comments. Have a nice day. 🙂

Chapter 98

(Rejecting Superstitions, Little Shi…)

Netizens’ detective abilities were indeed strong. Shi Zhi’s fans had the entire live stream recording, and soon, by comparing details, they cracked the case.

This was the same day Shi Zhi live-streamed playing cards.

Indeed, there was a group activity, but it was a healthy card game.

Indeed, they booked a room, but the purpose was to play cards, and it was under the witness of millions of viewers.

The “well-shaped butt male model” was actually Shi Zhi herself.

Comments flooded in below.

“Holy crap, the so-called well-shaped butt male model.”

“Shi Zhi’s secret meeting with a well-shaped butt male model… was actually herself? Am I secretly meeting myself?”

“The paparazzi need a deduction from their paycheck. How can they not distinguish between male and female?”

“Well, Uncle Shi is a man after all, no mistakes there. (dog head emoji)”

“Good grief, when Shi Zhi said ‘viewer discretion advised for minors,’ I thought it was R-rated. Turns out it wasn’t… Now the paparazzi nearly made it R-rated. (funny face emoji)”

It’s the end of the year, aiming for the dumbest news story?

What’s up with the paparazzi? Didn’t they watch the live stream?

Rumor-mongering, watching videos, and making up stories—how bold of them.

The peers who were waiting for Shi Zhi to stumble: …

Waited in vain.

If this were someone else, it would be a massive scandal, possibly ruining their career. But with Shi Zhi, it was a colossal misunderstanding, only making people laugh and sending Shi Zhi to the top of trending searches.

Paparazzi: We really didn’t watch the live stream, but we didn’t expect Shi Zhi to book a room for a group card game!

Seeing everyone laughing, Shi Zhi’s fans knew it wouldn’t cause any negative impact. They were both speechless at the paparazzi’s inaccurate reporting and delighted at the renewed discussion about Shi Zhi. In that case…

Congratulations to Princess Shi Zhi for earning the title of “well-shaped butt male model”?

…

Previously, those watching Shi Zhi play cards in the live stream didn’t notice much. However, the paparazzi’s accidental video made people aware of her well-shaped butt.

Shi Zhi’s figure… is indeed quite attractive.

Some even wanted to ask about the brand of her pants, feeling they looked very comfortable. They couldn’t have Shi Zhi’s well-shaped butt, but they could have the same pants?

Seeing the continuous flow of messages, Brother Quan was overjoyed, “More clothing brands want to collaborate with us.” It’s indeed a flower-picking ad placement by Xiao Shi!

Clothing brands quickly spotted the opportunity and moved swiftly.

Shi Zhi, however, remained silent.

Brother Quan sensed something was off and looked up to ask Shi Zhi, “What’s with your expression?”

The assistant, closer to Shi Zhi, saw her actions on the phone, “Sister Shi, you reported the paparazzi for false information?”

“Indeed, it’s quite annoying. Many people have reported it, and I did too.”

The paparazzi hadn’t deleted the “scoop.” Although the assistant should be used to the entertainment industry’s ways by now, she was still upset. They reported, without understanding the truth, using vulgar language to attract attention, and they often succeeded.

Explaining this would be troublesome and might not convince everyone if it weren’t for the fan benefit of Sister Shi’s full livestream.

Shi Jie must be scared in hindsight, right?

Shi Zhi spoke up, “There was no well-shaped butt male model.”

Shi Zhi’s expression was one of disappointment.

Still immersed in the frustration, she had tried to find the well-shaped butt male model but ended up with nothing, so she angrily reported the false information.

Assistant: ???

Shouldn’t the focus be on the male model?

Without a male model to look at, Shi Zhi could look at Cheng Yu. Cheng Yu was also an absolute clothes hanger with both face and figure.

Shi Zhi’s pants that day were not expensive, a domestic brand costing less than a hundred. Knowing netizens were curious about the brand, Shi Zhi posted a picture.

She had worn them before and found the quality quite good, with a high cost-performance ratio.

The old brand had average sales, no money for advertising, relying entirely on word-of-mouth. The online store had just opened, with only a few hundred sales initially.

However, after Shi Zhi posted about the brand, sales rapidly exceeded tens of thousands.

Even the sales team was surprised, asking customers and finding out it was thanks to Shi Zhi.

Shi Zhi’s ability to drive sales was undeniable.

Shi Zhi also didn’t miss the opportunity to promote her studio’s artists.

No well-shaped butt male model, but how about a long-legged female model?

When Shi Zhi and Bai Wu were shooting a magazine cover a long time ago, she helped a small model who faced workplace sexual harassment. The small model once thought she’d be retaliated against by the photographer but was surprised when the photographer disappeared. She gritted her teeth and persisted.

Gradually, she gained some recognition in the modeling circle. When Shi Zhi established her studio, the model wanted to join. However, being abroad made it inconvenient until she returned recently.

The long-legged female model Shi Zhi posted about was that same small model.

…

Accepting endorsements was Brother Quan’s job. Shi Zhi was responsible for evaluations. Every brand she endorsed, be it food or clothing, was personally evaluated by Shi Zhi and deemed satisfactory before acceptance.

This method was highly inefficient and seemed absurd to other artists.

Non-famous artists wouldn’t have the luxury of choice; they would take what they could get. Famous artists wouldn’t personally evaluate, as they were too busy, and time is money.

Shi Zhi was different; she evaluated regardless of fame.

No one on the team tried to persuade Shi Zhi; it had become an unspoken rule.

Ye Ziwen saw Shi Zhi promoting the small model on Weibo and didn’t forget to leave a comment encouraging fans to support.

Dong De did the same.

Ye Ziwen was one of the best-developing artists in Shi Zhi’s studio, debuting with high popularity, exuding youthful charm, capable of being both cool and sweet, with a large fanbase of mother and girlfriend fans.

Dong De was less popular than Ye Ziwen, but his transformation from an ugly duckling to a white swan was inspirational. Despite his cool appearance, he was meticulous, loved gummy bears, and was skilled in needlework, which endeared him to many fans.

A senior who had a good relationship with Ye Ziwen noticed this and patted his shoulder.

“Did your boss assign you this task?”

They were about to start filming an outdoor reality show, “The Amazing Race,” with Ye Ziwen as one of the regular guests.

Having a boss who asked artists to bring in newcomers was normal; he often received such tasks.

Ye Ziwen scratched his head, telling the senior, “No.” It was voluntary.

“Because she always thinks of us.”

When they couldn’t stand on their own, the boss would let them ride her trending wave for publicity. Although she didn’t assign them tasks, they wanted to contribute.

Unexpectedly, speaking of the boss, the boss arrived.

When Shi Zhi stepped out of the van, Ye Ziwen and Dong De thought they were seeing things.

Ye Ziwen enthusiastically approached, “Boss Shi, are you here to film the show?”

They didn’t know who the guests were this time.

Shi Zhi, smiling, told her two delighted artists.

“No.”

“I’m not here to film the show; I’m here to supervise you and ensure you work hard.”

Ye Ziwen, Dong De:?

Smiles fading.

The boss suddenly checked in, supervising work; how could this be good?

…

Ye Ziwen and Dong De were already nervous.

They had always worked hard, never slacking off, maintaining humility and politeness towards every guest and staff member.

But facing the boss’s inspection, they couldn’t help but reflect on any mistakes.

It was the program director who accidentally revealed the truth.

“Shi Zhi is a guest on this episode.”

Shi Zhi: Just having a little fun.

Shi Zhi was invited to join “The Amazing Race.” The show was filmed in the city and lasted only a short time. Brother Quan almost had to resort to his old trick.

Join the show? If not, I’ll beg you! Please participate.

With Ye Ziwen and Dong De appearing in this episode, Shi Zhi agreed.

The most important part was the short recording period and high pay.

With a total of seven guests, Shi Zhi’s team accounted for three. “The Amazing Race” had high ratings, was already in its third season, had well-established procedures, and had no surprises.

Other guests welcomed Shi Zhi, and the atmosphere was great.

The director brought the seven guests to a famous temple in the city. Each round had a prize, and this time, the prize was a living creature.

The director, looking at the basin of creatures, introduced earnestly, “Water turtles, softshell turtles, and a widely known name—”

“Turtle, Wang Ba.”

Director: ???

That wasn’t the director speaking; it was Shi Zhi.

Director, “… It’s a softshell turtle, but Shi Zhi is also correct.”

Indeed, also called a turtle, Wang Ba.

Director, “This softshell turtle… this turtle, grew up in the temple’s pond, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, blessed by the high monks, symbolizing longevity and health, bestowing good fortune and blessings upon the recipient.”

The director internally sighed in relief, almost led astray by Shi Zhi.

But relief came too soon.

Shi Zhi spoke up.

“I saw the seafood delivery guy bring it here earlier. Didn’t you haggle for twenty yuan off… The delivery guy’s truck hasn’t left yet.”

Following Shi Zhi’s direction, they saw a worker in rubber boots by a van labeled “Little Liu Seafood.”

Not from the temple pond but freshly delivered from the seafood market.

“…”

Director: Is Shi Zhi here to cause trouble or expose lies?

Also, how did Shi Zhi know he haggled for twenty yuan off?

Before recording, Shi Zhi had already chatted with the seafood guy about market prices.

Though Shi Zhi seemed to be exposing the director, viewers enjoyed seeing guests “challenge” the director.

Softshell turtles live long, and now endowed with blessings by the director, many guests were intrigued.

Ye Ziwen was excited, “If I get the turtle, will I live to be a hundred?”

Other guests expressed interest and were motivated to win the blessing.

Dong De analyzed, “Boss Shi probably isn’t interested.”

Ye Ziwen agreed.

Curious bystanders, “Why?”

Both studio artists answered in unison, “Boss Shi rejects superstitions.”

While Ye Ziwen and Dong De believed in some mysticism, attributing their successes to it, she was a firm materialist from Boss Shi’s actions.

The cameraman said, “…But Shi Zhi looks quite interested.”

Ye Ziwen and Dong De turned to see their non-superstitious Boss Shi striving for the turtle.
