The Villainous Celebrity Wife of the CEO - Chapter 154.3
Along with the intense, heart-pounding background music, a sharp claw tore through the screen to reveal the CG effects-produced logo of the show.
The trip to Indonesia was split into three episodes, and today’s episode was the first. The first half of the show was rather mundane, with the audience being introduced to the artists and the two instructors. After each artist appeared on stage, various labels were tagged on the artists in later stages.
When Su Jishi walked out of the airport, she was covered with several pink labels, including Topic Queen, Popular Traffic Celebrity, National First Love, etc., which were both general and stereotypical.
The episode was quite boring. Xiao Xia took time to look at the tablet, and as expected, whether it was Su Jin’s personal Chaohua[1] or the show’s Chaohua, viewers were lining up to say “The plot is mediocre and boring”.
Some even mocked the crew as trailer cheats, cutting all the exciting shots into the trailer, while the main content was so boring they could fall asleep.
Some also asked if Su Jin’s money had all been thrown into the trailer, so that the trailer was full of her scenes, and then she had no sense of existence in the first half of the main content?
For these provocative comments, Su Jishi merely glanced at them and spared not the tiniest bit of attention. She directly snapped the tablet upside down and twisted Xiao Xia’s head toward the TV: “…Don’t control the comments, watch quietly.”
Xiao Xia could only temporarily put aside her anxiety and quietly continued to watch.
Fortunately, the plot soon entered the jungle, and the various contrasting conflicts in the show gradually escalated.
Little by little, Su Jin’s important role in the program finally came to the fore.
When passing through a steep slope, Su Jin took the lead in the forefront to check the road.
When there was a need to pick wild fruits to quench thirst and hunger, Su Jin threw down her backpack and scampered up to the top of the tree with a few steps.
When there was a need to stop and rest, Su Jin once again carried out a few simple steps to finish lighting up a bonfire. She then killed fish and roasted them, poker faced.
One thing after another, unknowingly, the whole team had become a system dominated by Su Jin as the core! Su Jin was like the mother duck with a flock of ducklings, efficiently completing one task after another.
There was a computer running in front of Fang Xie, which was monitoring the live web media. All the real-time comments that mentioned Su Jin were highlighted.
At first, many people questioned whether the program group was establishing a persona for Su Jin, deliberately letting her perform by herself.
However, such remarks were quickly refuted by fans.
[Our Jinjin is setting up a persona? Why don’t you open your eyes and see who’s scaling fish, with scales all over her body :)]
[Respect! Can climb trees and pick peaches, can dip into the water and fish, can also split firewood, indeed a flower that blooms both at home and at work!]
[Fine. How is this the Wilderness Winner? This is obviously Su Jin, where are you going??]
As the guests gradually walked deeper and deeper into the jungle, the challenges they encountered became more arduous.
At the same time, more and more viewers who have heard about this column through different channels, turned on their TV and watched this special outdoor variety show! And at a glance, they were immediately attracted by Su Jin’s extraordinary demeanor, capturing all their attention!
Fang Xie’s other laptop was monitoring the ratings in real time.
The number representing the ratings was floating red, like a sharp arrow, shooting towards the sky!
“1.12% now…1.25%…1.41%…”
The numbers on the screen were gradually climbing at an alarming rate, and at the same time, the 100-people WeChat group called ‘Wilderness Winner Work Group’ in his phone was also broadcasting the news simultaneously.
“——1.52%!! Broken!! Broken!!! Broken!!!!!”
Broken!!!!
The first issue of the Wilderness Winner went on air and just one hour after it started, it broke the 1.5% rating threshold!!!
This figure, not only could crush the variety shows of other channels in the same period, but also was an astronomical figure within Apple Channel.
If, at first, the audience was just seeking novelty, curious to see what the show was all about, then as soon as they ‘entered’, they were firmly attracted to Su Jin.
Whatever difficult environment she encountered, she adapted exceptionally well. She was the first to complete the tasks set by the instructors each time, without pretense, without bargaining, and with the power of a thunder and the speed of a lightning bolt. She also gave a hand to several others when she was done.
And every time she completed a task, one of the original pink tags on her body was shattered.
In the end, the strange labels that were originally confined to her body were all shattered in the wind, leaving only a golden The Strongest Sovereign title, hanging on top of her head.
The special effects added by the program group were extraordinarily interesting, the words The Strongest Sovereign was like a running light in the dark night, enough to blind all the viewers. Wherever she went, they went blind.
The last scene of the episode stopped at the conversation between Su Jin and Qin Qiu.
The moonlight was just right and the campfire was raging.
Su Jin got up in the night with her coat on and happened to run into Qin Qiu sitting by the fire.
The young man just spent his twentieth birthday. He was tall, and was showing the first signs of an adult’s physique. He was sporting a shaggy moustache around his lips, but his eyes were clean, like a newborn fawn. The young man clasped his hands on his knees, holding a lighted wooden stick in one hand and prodding the fire from time to time, like a teenage boy with something weighing on his mind.
The infrared lens at night was fuzzy, but the good thing was that the two of them were very close to the camera, so everyone could clearly hear what they were saying.
Su Jin asked, “How come you’re still awake this late?”
Qin Qiu replied, “The ground is too hard, and the inflatable mattress in my tent is broken, so I can’t sleep.”
Su Jin then accompanied him to warm by the fire.
Halfway through, the fire was waning, so Su Jin added two more firewood to it.
Seeing this, Qin Qiu suddenly laughed.
Su Jin asked, “What are you laughing at?”
“Sister Su, have you ever heard a line?” Under the camera, the teenager’s eyelashes fluttered and his smile suddenly became extra seductive, “——Woman, you’re playing with fire!”
Su Jin: “…”
Su Jin: “……”
Su Jin: “………”
In the bullet screen, comments flooded, “Baby Qiu, you’re child. You can’t trigger an older woman-younger-man CP, ah!!” Just then, Su Jin indifferently turned her back, and fished a silver shiny small hammer from the pocket of her windbreaker.
The silver hammer’s glint in the dark of the night was too eye-catching, and nobody could ignore the silver light.
The next second, all they saw was Su Jin’s hand hammering down —— Plop, it landed right in the middle of a certain burning firewood.
The firewood that almost burned the corner of Qin Qiu’s clothes cracked at the sound.
Su Jin looked him in the eye and calmly replied, “——Child, you’re playing with your life.”
