Chapter 1276: Chapter 1267: Going Public (Part 3)
No problem, it will be over soon.
Whether it’s thunderstorming or the weather is clear, everything must have a result.

However, Xia Siyu waited a little longer than expected.
Qin Baizhou went over to the show crew to coordinate.
As soon as Xia Siyu and Bo Yan planned to go public, he started preparing, informing the production team: “Siyu is dating a male celebrity, and photos have been taken. They’re negotiating with us threateningly. But the talks aren’t going well, we may have to go public during the show’s filming.”
He didn’t mention who the male celebrity was, but since they were filming a dating reality show, it would greatly affect the situation.
If it were any other show, it might still gain some popularity, effectively boosting awareness for free. But this was a dating reality show.
No matter how fake the pairings were, or how dull the couple’s interactions were, they still had to do the essential work.
But now, here they were, could the audience still ship a fake CP? Isn’t this ruining everything?
When Qin Baizhou informed the production team a few days ago, they were intensely considering whether to continue keeping Xia Siyu.
It must be said, she was top-tier, even if there were more hackers than fans, if a show had hackers coming to mock it, it’s still better than fizzling out quietly. This show was going head-to-head against Shang Feifei’s dating reality show; the first episode, with just Xia Siyu and Chen Fan’s “dominant woman and puppy boy” pairing went viral, especially with Chen Fan being quite popular for making her a swing, truly gaining some heat.
Later, after he was grouped with Zhou Weiwei, Zhou Weiwei didn’t have the proud temperament of Xia Siyu, and Chen Fan was the gentle, silent type, so his attention was indeed declining. And Xia Siyu and Qin Baizhou, although in perfect sync, had previously collaborated on a show, so the novelty for the audience wasn’t strong, making them slightly lose out when compared to Shang Feifei’s competing dating reality show.
The production team felt quite regretful at that time, as did Chen Fan’s agency; Xia Siyu was such a big name after all, she was their chance to gain experience. Xia Siyu didn’t even need to speak; just standing there making a request, Chen Fan would naturally get some attention. She anyway wouldn’t explain these rumors; she hadn’t explained those with Li Weiyi before, and if it weren’t for him being too revolting, she probably wouldn’t even bother to clarify.
But since learning that she was indeed in a relationship, Chen Fan’s agency felt both lucky and unlucky. Unfortunate, because if they had really marketed it before, they might have been able to gain some CP fans. As everyone knows, CP fans ultimately split into solo fans, and whoever acts fast gets the fans. Luckily, even if the CP broke up, Xia Siyu, as a big shot, wasn’t someone someone like the rookie Chen Fan could afford to offend. If CP fans blatantly overdo it, leading to a breakdown and split, Chen Fan might gain some fans, but he might not withstand Xia Siyu’s wrath.
Now that Qin Baizhou is her manager, this problem doesn’t exist. Anyway, accompanying the longest love confession, they’ve been working together for seven years. Even if Xia Siyu is in love, Qin Baizhou just needs to say “Best wishes,” then, “Lifelong companionship,” which probably won’t affect things too much.
When Qin Baizhou returned, it was already late. Actually, when Xia Siyu saw him arrive at the hotel, she had a rough idea of the result: “Let me continue filming, right?”
