As soon as Su Lian finished speaking, the audience behind her went wild.
Sister? Who is Su Lian's sister? In the entertainment industry, the only person with the surname Su who is well-known is...
Jiang Cuo had a gloomy face, his long, slender hands clenched into fists, trying his best to maintain his composure in front of the camera.
Looking at Su Lian's hypocritical, feignedly harmless face.
Su Lian is still lying.
Su Qianqian and she are not related by blood at all.
...
Weicuo Entertainment.
Holding the document, Yu Siyu asked, "President Su, we've invited you to be a guest on the second episode of the 'Idol Seven' variety show, but... will you accept President Jiang's invitation or Song Yaxing's?"
A note from the author:
Jiang Cuo (super confident) pouts: Su Su, choose me!
Su Qianqian: I won't listen, I won't listen, the dog and fox are chanting scriptures.
Song Yaxing: I seem to have been caught up in a strange love triangle.
Su Lian: You can leave now, let me take the blame.
Flower-headed Bird: Let's eat some melon seeds! Hurry up, if it gets any more exciting, the deer antlers will appear!
Yu Siyu: Hehe, I'm the one who's busy.

Chapter Seventy-Five
The recording of the first episode of the idol seven-member group variety show was quite successful.
Because Jiang Cuo's company was newly established, its funding and budget were limited, so it adopted a method of recording, editing, and broadcasting simultaneously.
As for Su Lian, the extras behind her had already become curious during the recording, and the broadcast sparked considerable public discussion.
Everyone was curious about who Su Lian's older sister was.
Su Qianqian did not answer Yu Siyu's question immediately because she had not yet decided whether or not to participate in the idol seven-member group variety show as a special guest.
Although this show is a very popular IP right now, no one can guarantee that it will become a hit beyond its core audience, so Su Qianqian decided to make a decision after the first episode airs.
Su Qianqian is adept at this because the system world is still very immature in terms of talent show selection and promotion. The resources Jiang Cuo obtained in this system world are groundbreaking.
Even the program's editing and broadcast are updated monthly, so Su Qianqian has plenty of time to consider things.
At this moment, Lu Rong brought documents to the office to report.
"President Su, you could also consider accepting an invitation to participate in the idol seven-member group variety show as a special guest. According to data, the first episode of this variety show has already generated unprecedented popularity. Regarding some of the hot topics, one is which big shot in the entertainment industry Su Lian's sister is, so that she can be directly invited to participate. The other is Zhao Yuxin from Weicuo Entertainment, who looks three parts like President Jiang, and several other outstanding artists cultivated by other companies."
etc……
Su Lian?
Su Qianqian immediately looked up. Su Lian?
Since Jiang Cuo went abroad, on that rainy night, Su Lian confessed her actions and revealed her feelings to her, only to be rejected. After that, she never saw Su Lian again during university. Now, she has entered a variety show as a singing and dancing trainee.
Su Qianqian frowned. "I've looked through all the trainees' information before, and I didn't see Su Lian's name."
Lu Rong placed two documents in front of Su Qianqian. "According to the investigation, Yun Kong Film and Television replaced one of their own artists' spots. They replaced Su Lian's information before the recording of the first episode of the idol seven-member group, and the information was sent out half an hour before the recording started."
Su Qianqian understood, "So even though Jiang Cuo knew that Yun Kong Film and Television had secretly replaced Su Lian, he had no choice but to negotiate with Yun Kong Film and Television within half an hour and was forced to start filming."
Lu Rong nodded. Lu Rong had known Su Qingqing for many years. They were high school classmates, so from Lu Rong's perspective, he knew that Su Lian was Su Qianqian's half-sister and also knew what happened back in high school.
However, they were unaware of what had happened between Su Qianqian, Su Lian, and Jiang Cuo. They also did not know that Su Lian was not actually Su Qianqian's blood-related sister.
“However…” Lu Rong paused, slightly worried, and took out a tablet to play a clip from the first episode, placing it in front of Su Qianqian. “Since Su Lian has released the news so openly, I think the public will dig deeper and find information about you, President Su. They will immediately associate Su Lian with your sister, rather than Yun Kong Films using its own artists’ slots to get Su Lian on the show.”
Su Qianqian seemed to realize the seriousness of the problem, "You mean that the media and marketing accounts will say that because Su Lian is my sister, I used my connections to snatch someone else's spot and put Su Lian in, which does not respect the fairness of the program."
Lu Rong nodded. "Yes, President Su is also aware of the current popularity of the idol group's variety show. If this controversy were to erupt, it would be very detrimental to our company and your image. I just don't know why Su Lian would do this."
Su Qianqian tapped her index finger on the table, lost in thought. "Yun Kong Film and Television have absolutely no connection with Su Lian. How could they possibly be involved?"
Lu Rong then produced another document, saying, "President Su, I have discovered some suspicious points regarding Yun Kong Film and Television. I reviewed their company's shareholding structure and found that Cui Shu is not the primary shareholder of Yun Kong Film and Television."
Su Qianqian looked up and said, "You mean, there's someone else controlling YunKong Company?"
However, what Su Qianqian couldn't understand even more was why Su Lian would put herself in this mess when she clearly knew that Su Lian and she were not related by blood. If the two of them did a DNA test and clarified to the public, Su Lian would definitely be ridiculed by the entire internet for trying to gain attention.
Although Su Lian appears gentle and weak and likes to play the innocent white lotus, she is actually a very opinionated and shrewd person. She will not let others take advantage of her, nor will she do anything that is detrimental to her.
This matter is definitely not that simple.
Seeing Su Qianqian's serious expression, Lu Rong continued, "However, President Su doesn't need to worry too much. Even though you're a special guest on the second episode, as long as you don't have much eye contact with Su Lian, the show will have to put in some effort to edit it out. You can show more favoritism towards one of your own trainees, and even if there's negative public opinion, you can use that to suppress it. Besides, the idol seven-member group variety show has only entered its second episode, and there are no trainees eliminated yet. Among so many trainees, this will allow our company's trainees to get more exposure."
Su Qianqian nodded.
After Lu Rong left, Yu Siyu came in.
Su Qianqian: "There's no need to reply to the email from 'Never Forget the Original Intention Entertainment.' Song Yaxing and I had already agreed during our previous meal that I would attend the second episode of the idol group's recording as a special guest invited by her."
Yu Siyu: "Okay, President Su."
...
After the first episode of the idol group variety show aired, it immediately caused a huge stir online due to its novel format.
It quickly became the most popular program recently, with nearly 10 million views in one day and more than 100 million views in three days.
Because the show itself naturally attracts gossip viewers.
Su Lian's words after her performance sparked a heated discussion online, with many wondering who her powerful sister in the entertainment industry really is.
When someone discovered that the new special guest for the second episode was named Su Qianqian, everyone started to think that it was too much of a coincidence that they both had the surname Su.
Jiang Cuo and Su Qianqian have also maintained high popularity.
It originated from a short interlude that aired half an hour after the first episode, depicting the scene of the four mentors having dinner together after their first meeting.
The flower jay is notoriously good-natured, but a beautiful woman standing there is enough to make one's beauty breathtaking.
There was a lot of food on the table, and the plate of dumplings was closest to the flower jay.
The flower jay didn't pick and choose when it saw the dumplings; it just thought that dumplings should be eaten with some vinegar.
I noticed a bottle of grapefruit vinegar near Jiang Cuo, and without hesitation, I opened it and poured a little out.
Seeing that Jiang Cuo's face was extremely cold, Wang Sisi was afraid that things would escalate, so she secretly ran to Hua Kongque's side and said that the bottle of vinegar was a gift from President Su of Weicuo Entertainment to their President Jiang.
Hua Kongque and the others were university classmates, so of course they knew a thing or two about it.
So Hua Kongque silently dipped the dumpling in pomelo vinegar, ate it, and then sighed, "No wonder this vinegar is much more sour than usual."
However, this scene was discovered by netizens with microscope-like eyes, because there had been rumors that when Jiang Cuo was rejected by Su Qianqian to dine together at the restaurant, he came out alone with several bottles of vinegar, and the shape of the grapefruit vinegar was very similar to that of the bottles photographed by paparazzi.
Moreover, according to an unnamed waiter at the restaurant, the vinegar was actually given to Jiang Cuo by Mr. Su from Weicuo Entertainment.
Therefore, everyone questioned whether the book "The Delicate Love" was written incorrectly back then.
The book, "The Misguided Love of Qianqian," describes how Su Qianqian, like a devoted admirer, followed Jiang Cuo around every day, expressing her love at every moment.
On the contrary, Jiang Cuo was aloof and cold, rejecting all of Su Qianqian's love. But now it's clear that Jiang Cuo is the one who's giving his all, while Su Qianqian is completely ignoring him.
Moreover, Jiang Cuo kept the vinegar that Su Qianqian gave her with her at all times, to the point that she allowed others to touch it but not to eat it, which shows how strong her possessiveness was.
This unexpected contrast is quite endearing.
...
Before the recording of the second episode began, Jiang Cuo had not found a chance to meet Su Qianqian. He felt extremely distressed, but he could not find an outlet for his frustration and did not know why he was so troubled.
I was bored and scrolling through online gossip and discussions.
The show's popularity has already climbed to number one.
And then I came across a topic: Is Su Lian's sister actually Su Qianqian?
In everyone's eyes, Su Lian is Su Qianqian's half-sister.
Su Lian is an illegitimate child, but only Jiang Cuo, Su Qianqian, and Su Lian know that Su Lian and Su Qianqian are not related by blood.
Therefore, Jiang Cuo also knew that there must be a reason why Su Lian reappeared in front of her and Su Qianqian.
The spot that Su Lian replaced was that of a trainee from Yun Kong Film and Television.
Jiang Cuo also knew that the real shareholder of Yun Kong Film and Television was actually Hao Duoyu.
Cui Shu was nothing more than a puppet.
Su Lian's ostentatious public exposure was likely for two reasons: first, to attract Su Qianqian's attention, and second, to shift the focus of the conversation to the illegitimate daughter.
Jiang Cuo's eyes gradually deepened. She had been on guard for the past few years, and Hao Duoyu should not have had the chance to find out her true identity.
Since she returned to China, my maternal grandparents have started to get involved.
Jiang Cuo always thought that Su Qianqian would always love her, so after going abroad without hesitation, he also thought that Su Qianqian would treat her grandparents the same way as before.
However, no matter how much Jiang Cuo planned, he did not expect that Su Qianqian would lose everything after he left.
