Chapter 932: Chapter 902
"Not necessarily. It might also be someone deliberately creating a smokescreen. Anyway, I’ll get to the bottom of this. There’s no way a single contestant has that kind of power. The person behind this is a lot more formidable than you think."
After hearing this, dark clouds spread over Qiao Jiezhe and Chen Zhen’s faces, but once they stepped outside, the two still couldn’t show it.
Following Qiao Qiqi’s instructions, Chen Zhen released information about Mi Tao’s situation. He found someone to leak it and exposed the possibility that Mi Huan’s poisoning might leave her beyond recovery.
It instantly stirred up a massive storm. Netizens not only cursed the person who poisoned Mi Huan, they also went after the production team, and they even launched an online boycott of the "Hello, Youth" show’s voting!
Qiao Jiezhe even received blood‑stained razor blades and creepy blood dolls sent by netizens.
It left him irritable every single day.
These last few days, Qiao Qiqi had been treating Mi Huan nonstop. Her voice had already recovered, her hands and feet were almost back to normal, and after days of illness and suffering, Mi Huan had lost weight!! She’d originally been a bit chubby, so her looks really weren’t anything special, but the slimmed‑down Mi Huan looked like she’d been reborn. Her features were more defined, and she looked much more delicate overall.
When Qiao Jiezhe came to see Mi Huan, he vented to his sister at length—it was all just too much pressure.
Qiao Qiqi gave her brother a speechless look. "This is a good thing for you. What are you stressed about?"
"A good thing? You have no idea how terrified I was when I received that stuff! I was scared to death. And the boycott voices online are getting louder and louder! I’m really worried the show will get canceled," Qiao Jiezhe said.
Qiao Qiqi finally understood why, despite having debuted for years, her brother had never really taken off—he just didn’t grasp how the entertainment industry worked.
"Bro, relax. I promise this incident won’t just fail to affect the broadcast, it’ll actually make your show even hotter!"
"Really, Qiqi?" Qiao Jiezhe only trusted his sister. Hearing her say that, he finally wasn’t as anxious.
"You know why? Because of Mi Huan. So you have to take good care of her and make sure nothing happens to her again."
Qiao Jiezhe immediately turned to look at the girl beside him. "I’ll definitely take great care of her. I won’t let anything happen to her ever again. I’ll taste her food first! If there’s poison, I’ll be the one to get poisoned!"
Qiao Qiqi was completely speechless at that.
Mi Huan’s face flushed bright red in an instant. She really hadn’t expected that the director she’d always thought of as lofty and untouchable would actually have such a cute personality.
She used to be really scared of this young director.
"No need for that. I’ve given Mi Huan something to test for poison. She won’t have any more problems."
Only then did Qiao Jiezhe finally relax.
Looking at his dopey expression, Mi Huan couldn’t help it and let out a little snort of laughter.
Qiao Jiezhe scratched his head awkwardly. Qiao Qiqi gave him a sideways glance and said, "You don’t have to be afraid of him. In the future, you’ll be more famous than he is!"
Qiao Qiqi had already been very optimistic about Mi Huan. This girl was born with star potential. Just a bit of packaging, a few resources, and she was guaranteed to blow up!
Plus, she had a great personality—no drama, no fuss. With this temperament, she’d definitely win over countless fans just by going on a couple of variety shows.
Mi Huan’s face turned even redder. She said, "How is that possible? I’m just an ordinary person. Senior Qiao is really famous in the entertainment industry. He’s my idol."
"Really? You actually like me? I’m so honored! Then what do you like about me?" Qiao Jiezhe looked at the girl with eyes shining, full of anticipation.
