I'm Crushing on Gorgeous Faces in Variety Shows!-Chapter 86: Shu Ran Joins Changhui Entertainment
It’s a new Thursday and a new atmosphere.
Mu Qiu sat at the table holding her breakfast, double-checking that Shi Yuhuai, Su Yan, and Lin Banyan were still trending.
No new news could excite her anymore, so she simply turned off her tablet and focused on eating her breakfast.
It was a sunny day, with the nine o’clock sun casting its light from afar, shining through the large glass windows into the living room. Some shadows had nowhere to hide, while others were omnipresent.
The computer on the coffee table played light music as Mu Qiu sat upright at the dining table, her spine relaxed, and her soft long hair draped casually over her shoulders, reflecting a brown sheen in the light. Her profile was clean, with thick eyelashes and an elegant nose, not conventionally stunning but clean and pure. She had made it onto the beauty charts at one point.
Some people’s beauty can be described as an otherworldly elegance that makes you fall in love at first sight, while others are so effortlessly clean and blend harmoniously with the environment and the crowd without looking out of place or ordinary.
Mu Qiu considered her looks nothing special. Even in the ivory tower of college, she never encountered a guy who made her heart race for a romance. So, when many show fans said she couldn’t compare to other female celebrities, she wasn’t particularly bothered. Even when Guan Yu said her bare face was better than many female celebrities, she wasn’t moved.
In any case, she’s not going to debut.
The sunlight illuminated her profile as Mu Qiu closed her eyes and nibbled on her sandwich, humming almost inaudibly to the rhythm of the light music in the room.
After finishing a leisurely breakfast, she opened Weibo, and the daily new updates arrived swiftly.
#Shu Ran jumps ship to Changhui Entertainment#
#Changtong goes crazy#
#Shu Ran’s impressive move#
#Shu Ran terminates contract#
[Should have changed long ago! Gotta say, sister’s awesome!]
[Shu Ran’s impressive... Changhui Entertainment actually wants her instead of newcomers?]
[Changhui Entertainment must be crazy? Just established and already taking in an artist with a scandal-laden past, truly daring.]
[Wow, Shu Ran’s amazing, caught in scandals yet still managed to join Changhui Entertainment]
[How did none of us hear about this? Is she even considering us fans?]
[No matter where sister goes, I’ll support her!]
[Is Shu Ran making a last stand? I can’t believe Changhui Entertainment would do this without something in exchange]
[What else does Shu Ran have to offer?]
[Honestly, Shu Ran’s persona style over these years is getting a bit tiresome, it’s good to go to Changhui Entertainment for a change of team and style]
[Changhui Entertainment taking her might mean she’s staying in this variety show, right?]
[Did she pay the penalty fee herself? I can’t believe Changtong has such faith in her]
[Wow, Changtong won’t give her up? Can they switch to someone else? She’s not doing any good here, just feels out of place]
[The show’s producers might want to give up, but as everyone knows, the sponsor has the final say]
[Changhui Entertainment might want to profit from her to support newcomers? Likely that Shu Ran proposed this exchange]
[A change might be good, let’s see if she does better in the next episode. If not, even Changtong isn’t foolish]
Mu Qiu raised an eyebrow, surprised by this explosive news.
This time in the show, Shu Ran was criticized to the extent that her title of the nation’s pure sweetness might turn into the nation’s white lotus, yet she could still defy the odds and jump to Changtong.
Knowing the importance of expanding business in the entertainment circle for Changhui Entertainment, Mu Qiu found it surprising that they accepted the scandal-ridden Shu Ran. And how did Shu Ran approach Changhui Entertainment and get them to accept her?
Were there hidden rules involved? Could it be a dramatic "my ex-boyfriend is the general manager of Changtong" kind of reunion trope?
Mu Qiu’s fingers itched, reaching again for the omnipresent sticky notes.
Such forceful redemption leading to a scandal-ridden female celebrity’s overnight rise seemed quite "exciting."
The trending topics continued to climb, yet they could never surpass Su Yan and Lin Banyan’s gossip, and with Changtong and Changhui Entertainment attached, they still had to sit below them.
Mu Qiu scrolled to Shu Ran’s Weibo, finding her explanation quite impressive.
[Shu Ran V: Shedding the persona, welcoming the new, true self.]
Is Shu Ran tearing off that label and going for authenticity?
With great interest, she sat cross-legged on the sofa to indulge in more gossip, from Shu Ran’s loves and hates, Shu Ran’s past and future, to Su Yan’s relationship outcomes, and Shi Yuhuai and Lin Banyan’s emotional entanglements...
It was past lunchtime when she finally looked up, lying on the sofa, mimicking pedaling a bicycle in the air.
The allure of celestial beauty kept the thought of weight loss and fitness active in her mind, especially after this illness, as this morning she found herself about four pounds lighter than half a month ago.
Rumor had it that three years ago, Cheng Zhirang had no trouble carrying a man weighing over 130 pounds on set. Would carrying her... be a problem?
The pedaling stopped mid-air, and Mu Qiu got up, driven by an urge to explore this question further. She opened the Cheng Zhirang Yun City Fan Support Group she had just blended into the night before, finding a video shared by a fan named Cheng Zhi about Brother Rang’s astounding arm strength, and clicked on it.
In the clip, Cheng Zhirang effortlessly carried a middle-aged man covered in blood for 100 meters. Moving over the comments, she found numerous women expressing the same thoughts as hers.
[Brother, if you can carry a man like that, carrying me must be a piece of cake]
[Brother, carry me! I’m not heavy, just 160 pounds!]
[Wanna drool on Brother’s chest]
[Well, tonight I’ll just let Brother hug me to sleep]
[Brother Cheng easily lifted me and even spun me around like a Thomas flare]
[I’ve been corrupted, I’m a daughter fan!]
[Fans come in all types these days, even daughter fans are here]
[Eternal girlfriend fan unwavering!]
[With that physique and strength, if you’re not a girlfriend fan, are you fantasizing about him carrying a daughter or a mom?]
[I want to be lifted and seated on Cheng’s lap!]
[Entered white and leaving yellow, that’s me]
[Let’s all boast, dream, and rave together, singing and dancing in wild fantasies]
It turns out there are countless dreamers, and she was just one of them. She wasn’t so indulgent, only imagining him lifting her up to sit on his shoulders... Wiping away drool, she continued admiring the muscles.
From Weibo, to small videos, then to Baidu, finally watching a movie, on days without writing, the leisure and happiness abound, from day to night she was submerged in the embrace of stunning beauty.
Unbeknownst to her, somewhere someone was editing camera footage, pulling out multiple videos, eliminating unsuitable ones, merging different clips together, watching them through, expressions twisting with excitement.
"I finally got it! With this video, we’re going viral!"
Shadows of a woman and child are particularly clear in the video, and in another, the woman and child separate into different floors at the hospital entrance.

Get excited! Stir things up! Stir things up! Stir things up!
