There were also many accounts that were loaned out everywhere and now they were all permanently banned. The account that Gu Ziheng borrowed was the first to be banned.

After completing all of this, she closed the computer.

“Knock, knock, knock.” The door was being knocked from the outside.

Lu Miao got up and went to open the door, and Gu Shiyan stood at the door holding a glass of milk.

Seeing her, he handed over the milk.

Lu Miao reached out and took it. “Thank you.”

Stepping back, just as she was about to close the door, Gu Shiyan hurriedly spoke up, “I didn’t look at their legs just now, nor did I look at their faces.”

Lu Miao raised an eyebrow. Was Gu Shiyan he brought the milk specifically to explain himself?

Nodding, Lu Miao said, “It’s fine to look at other parts. You don’t have to explain it to me.”

What?

How did it become about looking at other parts again?

He didn’t look anywhere!

Watching the closed door in front of him, Gu Shiyan had a sudden urge to drag out Gu Ziheng, the main culprit behind the talent show, and give him a good beating.

The recording of the program had already finished, and Lu Miao had resolved all matters in the capital city and directly returned to Luo City.

Gu Ziheng had to stay behind to continue working, and Gu Shiyan accompanied Lu Miao on the plane. He had something on his mind that he wanted to explain, but seeing Lu Miao sitting beside him, completely absorbed in reading, he had to swallow his words.

Although “Youth Trainee” didn’t spend much on marketing, Gu Ziheng’s recent comeback generated a lot of buzz, so the show had its own promotional effect. The Dremiere had a good resoonse vesterdav.

Within the first hour of airing, the view count surpassed one billion, nearly dominating the entire entertainment hot search list, and even appeared on several international hot searches.

In addition to the contestants and the show trending, there were also numerous appeals for Gu Ziheng to perform on stage himself.

After the plane smoothly cruised through the air, the television hanging in front started playing the recorded broadcast from last night.

The young girls were bright and full of youth, singing and dancing. Coupled with excellent production and styling, they were truly captivating. Many passengers around were drawn to look up and watch.

Gu Shiyan and Lu Miao were seated in the front of the first-class cabin.

The noise of singing and dancing from the TV above his heads was giving him a headache, so he couldn’t help but look up for a moment.

Only then did he realize that the show being played was “Youth Trainee.”

Before he could look away, Lu Miao next to them pointed to a small screen in front of Gu Shiyan, specifically facing him.

“You can watch it here too. it’s not good for your neck to keep looking up like that.’

“I wasn’t trying to watch. I was just…” He was getting a headache from the noise.

Before Gu Shiyan could finished the rest of his sentence, Lu Miao said, “It’s okay to take a look. After all, everyone has the desire to appreciate beauty.”

Gu Shiyan felt mentally exhausted like he had never before in his 24 years of life.

The more he tried to explain, the worse it got!

He decided to keep quiet and simply turned off the small TV in front of him, demonstrating that he didn’t like watching.

Returning to Luo City almost at the same time as them were Qin Shuang and Lu Siyu.

For this talent show, the Lu family spent a considerable amount of money, especially on marketing, both online and offline. However, now Lu Siyu was being kicked out by the program’s team.

In other words, all the money invested earlier had gone to waste.

Although Qin Shuang still treated her kindly as before, Lu Siyu was well aware that Lu Qin didn’t truly like her.

It was just because he thought Lu Siyu was more outstanding than Lu Miao, and he was worried that Lu Miao would disgrace him, and in the future, Lu Siyu could bring greater benefits to the Lu family. That’s why ]he heartlessly sent his own biological daughter to the Gu family to die and kept Lu Siyu behind.

Tightly holding the gift she specially bought in the capital city, Lu Siyu followed Qin Shuang into the house feeling somewhat apprehensive.

In the afternoon, when Lu Qin returned home from work, Lu Siyu immediately presented the prepared gift.

“Dad, this is a gift I carefully picked out for you. Open it and see if you like it.”

Lu Qin’s face turned pale as he exchanged his shoes for slippers and grabbed the gift without even looking at it. He then ruthlessly threw it at Lu Siyu’s face.

He angrily said, “You useless piece of trash! You’re not as good as Lu Miao in school, can’t compare to her in competitions, and now you were kicked out of the talent show by Lu Miao. Back then, you swore that you could definitely debut, and I spent so much money for you. Now, not only were you kicked out of the program, but even the previously aired episodes have been censored, and you are being heavily criticized. What use do I have for keeping you?” The sharp corner of the box hit her forehead directly.

The pain made Lu Siyu’s eyes water instantly, but she didn’t dare to cry out.

Qin Shuang heard the commotion and rushed out, immediately pulling Lu Siyu to her side. Angrily, she looked at her daughter’s swollen forehead and said, “Why are you taking your anger out on her? It was Lu Miao’s cunning schemes that led to Siyu being kicked out of the program. It wasn’t her choice. If you want to scold anyone, go scold Lu Miao. She’s heartless. I should have never brought Siyu back from the countryside.”

“No matter whose fault it is, the fact remains that she is not as good as Lu Miao. It’s a waste of my money, and she was kicked out of the program. I only care about the results. If she can’t make it, she should leave the Lu family as soon as possible and go back to the countryside.” Lu Qin said with a stern face.

Leave the Lu family, go back to the countryside.

Lu Siyu smiled bitterly in her heart. She knew that in Lu Qin’s eyes, it was always about interests. Once she had no value to offer, even if she called him “Dad” for more than a decade, she would be nothing more than a pet to him.

Thinking about Lu Miao’s ridiculously rustic appearance when she was first brought back, she gritted her teeth and was determined not to go back to the countryside.

“Dad, I have a new plan. It doesn’t matter if I can’t debut through a talent show. There are too many talent shows now, and each show only features a few people. After a show, the amount of screen time for each person is limited, requiring a lot of follow-up marketing investment. Whether you can become popular or not is uncertain. But short video content is booming now. I can start as an internet celebrity and make videos. Some internet celebrities have millions or even tens of millions of fans, and a single advertisement can earn them a six-figure sum. A live stream with product endorsements can earn billions, even more than top-tier celebrities. Moreover, I won’t need your money for this. I just need to shoot and edit the videos myself.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Qin’s face, which had been grim since he entered the house, finally softened somewhat.

He did have some knowledge about how internet celebrities make money through short videos. It had been booming in the past few years.

There was even news about an internet celebrity who donated one billion in a single donation, making more money than those company owners like them.

“I’ll give you some more time. It’s best if you can show me some results. If you continue to embarrass yourself like before, being trampled under Lu Miao’s feet, then leave immediately.”

He heartlessly finished speaking and then went straight back to his room.

Lu Siyu suppressed the humiliation in her heart and clenched her hand tightly.

Beside her, Qin Shuang examined the wound on her forehead with a heart full of pity and softly comforted her.

“Don’t worry, Mom has found someone to deal with Lu Miao for you..”
