Come eight p.m. in the night, the studio where the Princess was to hold her show was properly staged and arranged.
Two comfortable blue chairs and a table with flowers were arranged on the stage. The background was blue with different pictures of the princess in different poses and on one side was a television screen which would show pictures, questions or videos when needed. Some exquisite china was placed on the table and an antique teapot with steaming hot tea was beside it.
A live audience of about twenty people had even been included to add more feeling of credibility to the show.
At eight p.m. sharp, while the theme song was playing, the princess wearing a long white off shoulder dress and red heels made her entrance amidst screams.
Chi Lian was watching the show from her office and keeping tabs on the number of viewers. So far, they were at nine million and climbing very fast.
On stage, the Princess made her introduction and the show started.
To the delight of the audience, the very first guest was the action king Wu Lian who talked about his early days in acting and the bullying he encountered. In between the talk, they would sip some tea.
As usual, he refuted the claims that he was dating anyone at the moment however he did confirm that he and Sasha went out on one date.
When the band played some music, he even showed off a few dance moves.
The number of viewers had climbed to thirty million and rising.
Eventually, he made a surprise announcement that he was not continuing with his old company because his contract was up.
He was signing with a smaller and more focused company, Phoenix media.
This news went viral on the internet.
Next, the Princess welcomed the minister of state for security who stepped onto the stage majestically. After answering questions about the rebels, security and the new reform laws on the death penalty, questions from the audience were allowed.
The very first question was from a woman who wanted to know if he was single.
This elicited a series of excited 'Oooh' from the crowd.
"Yes." He answered and a few people clapped, mostly, women.
The next question was someone wanting to know if he was searching.
"Yes." The stoic man replied.
Another viral topic hit the internet.
Finally, the minister said he had an announcement to make.
"The government is making preparations to rebuild Muyu slum. A subway was to be built and all businesses could now apply for land."
Sixty million viewers the producer said to Chi Lian through a walkie talkie.
The band closed the show with some music.
Jubilation ensued all around the office like the celebration of a nation that had just won a long suffering war.
" I can't believe this, we have ten million new subscribers in this short period of time." the producer actually cried.
Preparing for this show had made him and his team restless.
Even the stoic princess was engaged in animated conversation with her co-workers.
Her nasty temper was all but forgotten.
"Prepare for the next show." Chi Lian said to the producer through a walkie talkie.
The middle aged producer named Go looked at his team.
" What are you waiting for? The lady boss said to hurry, move, move , move." He pushed them to the next studio.
Chi Lian left her office with her bag to head home. But first, she approached the smug Princess and congratulated her, after all she was one of the factors contributing to the success of the show.
"Thank you." the princess smugly answered.
" This was just the first show so I would advise you not to get too arrogant. You have to work hard to get the number of viewers up." Chi Lian reminded her.
Arrogance in the media industry had been the cause of the downfall of many individuals. The success of this one show was not a determinant of the rest.
As she walked away, she received texts from her family members congratulating her. She smiled and thanked them. She would have to buy Chi Rui a big gift for his surprises, he had delivered above and beyond the expectation.
"Beep, beep_"
The honking of a car brought her out of her thoughts and when she looked at it, she was startled to see Wenzhe standing in the shadows.
"Why are you here?" she asked.
Wenzhe simply opened the car door and indicated that she get in.
Curiously, she peeped inside and saw Jun Muyang sitted in the back.
"Jun Muyang." She was stunned. " When did you come back?" she asked as she entered the car.
" I came by to watch the show that I am sponsoring. "
She nodded her head in understanding.
She looked at his handsome face which had exhaustion written all over it. Did he wait out here for long?
"You didn't have to wait for me. I can find my own way home."
She reached into her bag and unwrapped one of the candies she had tricked T4 into acquiring for her.
"Eat this. " She placed the candy right at his mouth.
Wenzhe who was sure that his germophic young master would not eat anything anyone fed him with their unwashed hands was shocked to see him open his mouth and take the candy.
As if that was not enough, he even licked the finger which delivered the candy.
It truly was the end of the sane world as he knew it.
A blushing Chi Lian smiled as she took her finger back and leaned back against her seat.
"What type of candy is this?" Jun Muyang asked. It was like a shot of energy had been injected into his body.
"It's a special candy I have made for my family. "
She couldn't possibly tell him it's alien candy.
Jun Muyang observed her silently. This woman really had too many secrets.
This candy was like an energy drink which wiped out exhaustion in one go.
Where did she find the resources to manufacture such a candy and what materials did she use.
As a business man, he could see the value of a such a candy among people who were engaged in high intensity work.
"How many of these can you manufacture a month?"
"Not many, the main raw material is a bit special." She lied. She herself did not know what ingredients went into the candy.
"Speaking of special, I forgot to give you this." She handed him the adjustable bat that she had set aside for him.
" Hmmmm..thank you. I heard the beautiful daosi acquired one very expensively. It has caused quite a ruckus within his family. Everyone wants it, kids, adults and the old."
"Does everyone call him beautiful daosi?"
"He won't respond if you call him anything else. "
She noticed that the car was heading somewhere else. It had not taken the road leading to the estate.
"Where are we going?" she looked at him quizzically.
"To get a celebratory drink, would you like one?"
She nodded in agreement immediately. A chance to be alone with Jun Muyang in a private setting hopefully, yes please.
"Two step club, what a weird name for a club." She said to herself. "What kind of club is this?" Chi Lian asked Jun Muyang as he helped her out of the car.
"It's a private club, members only."
When they got to the entrance, Wenzhe presented the card and they were granted access.
Once she saw the exquisite inside, she understand why it was a private club. The place was screaming someone dumped a boat load of money into me and made me beautiful, from the beautiful ceilings to the white tiled floors.
The glass tables were inlaid with gold; the spoons were also made of gold. There were marble statues of fish that were spitting water into a pond of expensive koi fish. A very large fish tank was sitting in an open space like it was in an aquarium and two vibrant red Arowana were swimming vigorously.
From the menu attached at the bar, the drinks were ridiculously expensive. The cheapest glass of wine was ten thousand yuan.
She subconsciously tightened the hold on her bag. She was not one to spend money lavishly and foolishly.
"This place is really expensive." She whispered in bewilderment to Jun Muyang.
He smiled as soon as he saw the look on her face. "As the woman after my heart, shouldn't you grit your teeth and buy me whatever I want? I am a man with expensive taste."
Chi Lian could already see how draining this wooing process was going to be on her pocket. But one look at his handsome face and beautiful smile, all worries went flying out the door. Jun Muyang was worth every coin spent on him.
"How much is a membership card in this place?"
"Twenty million a year."
"I really am still a poor woman." She sighed. She could not afford a membership in this place. Not right now anyway.
They arrived at a private room and went in. At that point, Wenzhe excused himself and left them alone.
The room was large, in fact, more than large. It had a swimming pool, sitting area, and a private bar.
"What kind of club is this?" she asked aloud.
Back on earth, clubs were places where people went to dance and drink. Private rooms had sofas maybe but that was pretty much everything.
Ignoring her question, Jun Muyang pulled her to one of the corners where they squeezed into one sofa. She was practically sitting on his laps.
"Do you want something to drink?" he whispered directly in her ear because the music was loud.
"A glass of red wine." She whispered to him.
He pressed a button on the wall and a young beautiful female server came over to take their order.
Chi Lian who was sitting on Jun Muyang's laps was very much aware of the closeness between them at the moment. The heat emanating off of his body was wrapped around her. Someone passed by and almost stepped on her feet so he pulled her closer and wrapped one arm around her waist.
Shyly, she put one arm around his shoulder and took a deep breath. In the dark, in this position, anything could happen.
"Yo, If it isn't the professor himself." One man interrupted their two person world.
Jun Muyang looked at the intruder coldly.
"What do you want?" he asked.
"I came over to meet your beautiful partner. It's the first time you are showing up here with a companion so you cannot blame us for the curiosity." The man shrugged.
Chi Lian noticed that the number of people gathering around them was indeed growing larger.
She could recognize a few of them; they had graced her page as the mighty little peep star. And they were about to grace it again. These young beautiful men and women were heiresses, actors, actresses and royalty. This was definitely going to earn her a good penny.
In the crowd were Professors Tao Yichen, Huang Bolin, and Kang Yuze. The action king Wei Lin was here with Sasha.
Prince Long Fen was holding the hand of a recently popular singer pretty Mu. They looked too cozy for this to be a just friend's situation.
And in a corner away from the crowd, she could swear that the beautiful daosi was dancing and twisting his waist in a pair of tiny swim shorts.
"This is Chi Lian, and Chi Lian, this is everybody."
"Oh-ho Jun Muyang, that is not nearly enough. We want to know more about her. You should allow her to join us in the pool."
At that point, Chi Lian remembered that the golden bachelors of the empire before her were currently shirtless and wearing tiny swim shorts.
"T4, we have stumbled upon a gold mine."
She was giddy with excitement that she wanted to cry. The brilliant T4 was had already sent the drones to do their work, taking pictures and videos which would fatten her wallet and grow her reputation as a paparazzo.
"She stays where she is." Jun Muyang refused to let her go.
"Wuuuuuuuu….." his friends laughed.
"Our boy is in love. " Tao Yichen said as he looked at the crowd.
"A prayer for the fallen soldier," Kang Yuze added.
"We should stay away from them before we find ourselves catching the love bag." Someone else in the crowd said and a harmonious laughter followed.
"Why are they sitting in the dark?" another person asked.
"I bet the flag is standing upright." Long Fen giggled and others laughed.
Chi Lian blushed and tried to get up but Jun Muyang would not let her. His hold on her tightened even more.
He whispered to her, "Ignore them; they will walk away when they are bored."
"Aiyooo, they are even sweet nothings. The single people like us are forced to eat this dog food against our will." Huang Bolin finally joined in on the teasing.
"All this can end if you can just sell us a few of your toys." Tao Yichen wriggled his eyebrows at Chi Lian expectantly.
"She doesn't have them, talk to the beautiful daosi." Jun Muyang pointed to the dancing daosi and the men eagerly attacked him.
To Chi Lian's displeasure, some women stayed behind. They were looking at her like she was the number one enemy of the state. The leader of the group was none other than Jun Muyang's most determined pursuer Miss Chu.
"Brother, I didn't know you were coming." She spoke softly like a child while pushing her chest out to emphasize the shape of her breasts.
She was shamelessly standing before them in a two-piece green swimming costume and the bra was only covering half of her breasts. If she jumped up once, her nipples would be exposed. At least the bottom was covered with a tiny skirt.
If it were any other man, they would be drooling but Jun Muyang was not any other man. He ignored her and kept his attention on Chi Lian.
