Chapter 574: Was Rejected

After the fatty said that, Bai Rong’s expression immediately turned ugly.

The host added, “Although the guests will be staying there for the night, they can bring their cell phones. However, there will not be any internet coverage there, so they’ll be able to use their cell phone to illuminate the place. Don’t worry, everyone. We’ll go over after dinner tonight. When we get there, everyone can go straight to sleep, if you’re not afraid.”

Bai Rong asked, “Will the program team be coming with us?”

“Cameras have already been set up in advance in the haunted house. If you really need any help, you may ask for help directly into the camera. The program team has already made preparations in advance, so the staff won’t be going together with you.”

“Then, how will we get there?”

“The program team will arrange for a special driver to take everyone there. Don’t forget, you can’t bring anything. Even the cell phone will have to be put away tomorrow morning.”

Once everything had been introduced and the guests did not have any more questions, some of them were eager to give it a try, while others were worried but did not dare to show it.

Fang Mo’er looked at Bai Rong and gave her a friendly smile.

Bai Rong was momentarily nervous before she rolled her eyes at Fang Mo’er and looked away.

Once everything was ready, the program team prepared a hot pot meal for the guests.

After everyone had finished eating, the host allowed everyone to move around freely for a while. The group that had lost the earlier game would be sent over at 8pm.

The audience watched the guests finish their meal before the live broadcast ended. The host bid goodbye to the audience as he said, “Today’s live broadcast ends here. Everyone, please look forward to the next episode of the Celebrities Escape Room Challenge! Goodbye, everyone!”

The live broadcast was then turned off. Brother Fatty and the winning group were allowed to go to the luxurious guest room that the program team had prepared for them to rest in. On the other hand, Fang Mo’er’s group had to wait in the lobby until the evening.

The live broadcast had already been turned off. Bai Rong did not want to be around Fang Mo’er for now, so she decided to distance herself.

Xiao Ke, on the other hand, came over to greet Fang Mo’er. “Miss Fang Mo’er, I’ve watched all of your work. I didn’t expect your acting skills to be so good even though you’ve only just debuted.”

He took the opportunity to sit beside Fang Mo’er.

Fang Mo’er politely said, “Thank you.” However, she did not say anything else after that.

Xiao Ke saw that the atmosphere was a little awkward, so he continued to make conversation. “I’m also a singer-turned-actor, but I’m still fairly new to acting. I hope that Miss Fang can give me some pointers in the future. Why don’t we add each other as friends?”

Having more friends meant more options. This principle applied everywhere.

Fang Mo’er was well aware of this. Although Xiao Ke was currently unknown and she had never heard of him before, there was a possibility that his career would develop very well in the future and the two of them might become colleagues one day.

She was more than happy to expand her social circle.

Hence, she exchanged contact details with Xiao Ke. When Bai Rong saw this, she walked over as well.

As long as it was someone that Fang Mo’er wanted to get to know, she would definitely want to get to know them as well.

“Mr. Xiao, I’m also an actress. Why don’t you add my contact details as well?” Bai Rong smiled and said to Xiao Ke.

Xiao Ke nodded his head to show that he knew. After deliberating over her words, she said, “I know that Miss Bai is very famous within the entertainment circles. There aren’t many people who don’t know about her. I didn’t expect to be fortunate enough to participate in the variety show together today.”

Although he was answering Bai Rong’s question, Xiao Ke had no intention of adding her as a friend.

Bai Rong was a little embarrassed at being softly rejected. Her smile froze on her face.

However, she reacted very quickly and raised her phone to look at her reflection as she pretended to check if her makeup had faded.

Back then, the matter between Bai Rong and Fang Mo’er had caused a stir. Everyone on the Internet knew that the two of them were not on good terms. Since Xiao Ke wanted to get close to Fang Mo’er, he had to keep a distance from Bai Rong.

He had been in the entertainment industry for many years, so he was aware of these things.

Fang Mo’er looked at Bai Rong and smiled, not caring about Bai Rong’s awkwardness at all.

She echoed Xiao Ke’s words. “Miss Bai Rong is really popular all over the Internet. She’s even capable of going overseas to develop her career. I thought that she would be focusing on the foreign market, but I didn’t expect her to come back. Is this because she has enough fame outside and is going to return to our country to continue developing?”

Bai Rong gritted her teeth and said, “What does it have to do with you where I develop my career?”

Fang Mo’er smiled and said, “Of course it has to do with me. I remember that before I went overseas, you had been banned by the company. I didn’t expect you to turn things around so quickly. It’s amazing.”

She even specially emphasized the word “banned”.

Bai Rong’s face turned red after being insulted by Fang Mo’er.

However, what Fang Mo’er said was the truth and she could not refute it. No matter what she said, Fang Mo’er was able to rebut her. With Xiao Ke here, she could not afford to be seen as a joke.
