When I Saw The Returns, I Invested In My Future Wife First - Chapter 379

379 Be Brave, What Did He Do?
Zachary took out his phone again and placed it on the table. He said in a bewitching voice, “You spoke to your family on the phone just now. Don’t you want to see the comments about you on the Internet again? Many people like your dance very much and are much better than your teammates.”

Ah Shuang knew that the reason why she could widen the gap was because the director had given her a lot of scenes.

Moreover, to be honest, after the first stage ended, all the contestants were very curious about the audience’s evaluation of them. Some people were even worried that the show would be boring and no one would watch it.

It was the same for Ah Shuang. She accepted Zachary’s first suggestion to call her family. Zachary’s second suggestion didn’t seem that difficult to accept.

Many thoughts flashed through her mind. No one knew that she had come here after all.

Ah Shuang’s heart wavered. Zachary threw out Trojan Horse after Trojan Horse, giving her other ideas.

“No! No! I can’t do this!” Ah Shuang slapped her cheeks so hard that they turned red before she stopped. “The boss gave us the stage so that we could show ourselves. It’s not fair for me to do this to others!”

Upon hearing this, Zachary’s patience ran out. He retracted his smile and said, “Aren’t you afraid that I won’t give you a single shot in the future? Don’t forget, if you want to advance, the audience’s opinion is also very important!”

If she wanted to be liked by the audience, she had to show off more.

Zachary snuffed out the camera that Ah Shuang was showing. It was impossible for the audience to notice her.

“Are you sure you don’t want to accept my good intentions?” Zachary smiled sinisterly and said, “Think about it carefully. There won’t be a second chance once you leave this door.”

Ah Shuang stood rooted to the ground, not knowing what to do. The tears that had yet to dry flowed out again. “Director, don’t be like this. The boss and the lady boss don’t like this kind of thing.”

“Heh, I don’t care if they like it or not. Don’t forget that I’m the director!” Zachary was very arrogant. “The show will be a pile of mud without me. By the way, if you make me unhappy, I don’t want to continue working here either.”

Another big hat was pinned on her.

Ah Shuang was just a normal girl from a poor family. How could she have the confidence to challenge the executive director?

“Director, don’t… I… I apologize to you!” Ah Shuang kept bowing. “I’m sorry! I’m sorry! Forgive me! I really want to stand on the stage. I don’t care about the ranking. I just hope that I won’t let down my previous efforts. Director, I really…”

Outside the door.

Luo Feng and Ai Tingya listened to Ah Shuang’s begging. The two of them clenched their fists, but they did not act rashly.

“It’s probably not sincere to just use your mouth to apologize.” Zachary loosened his belt. “Your mouth can also be used for other things, understand?”

Ah Shuang’s face turned red and she was so frightened that she could not speak.

Zachary was still waiting for her to give in. He was confident that she would.

“I… I don’t know!”

In her panic, Ah Shuang ran out of the door. Zachary’s scolding came from behind, followed by heavy footsteps.

The empty corridor seemed to run forever. Ah Shuang lowered her head and ran down. She didn’t dare to look back, but she was sure that Zachary was still chasing after her.

Her hands and feet felt sore. She was anxious and afraid, and she could not run anymore.

Suddenly!

A hand reached out from behind the security door and pulled Ah Shuang in. Then, the other hand quickly covered Ah Shuang’s mouth without making a sound.

“Stupid girl, you don’t know what’s good for you. Just you wait!”
In the corridor, Zachary walked over while cursing.

When it calmed down outside, Ah Shuang still had lingering fears. Her heart felt like it was about to jump out of her throat. She remembered that someone had saved her. She turned around and saw that it was actually Ai Tingya!

“Emcee Ai!” Ah Shuang almost cried out, but Ai Tingya quickly covered her mouth.

“Shh.” Ai Tingya raised her finger and pointed outside the door.

Ah Shuang endured it for a while and stared at Ai Tingya’s face in a daze. The gentle person who appeared in front of her in time made her terrified heart completely lose it.

At that moment, pressure and grievance surged out.

Ah Shuang couldn’t help but cry. She hugged Ai Tingya. “Sob sob sob, emcee Ai, I made a mistake. I’m sorry! I don’t know what to do!”

Ai Tingya didn’t bring any tissues, so she could only wipe her tears with her sleeve.

After a while, his sleeves were all wet. “Stop crying. Tell me what happened.”

She and Luo Feng had left early just now and could not see the end.

Ah Shuang smacked her lips and lowered her head.

She did not dare to say it.

Zachary was the executive director of the show, the heart of whether the entire show could proceed normally after all. Ai Tingya, as the lady boss, would be on the executive director’s side no matter what.

Ah Shuang wanted to continue staying in the show. The safest way was to keep the peace.

She thought that if she helped Zachary hide it, Zachary would probably let her off too.

“I’m… I’m fine. I’m fine.” Ah Shuang lowered her head.

“Is that so?” Ai Tingya’s gaze turned serious. “If you don’t tell us, we can’t help you.”

Ah Shuang’s heart, which had yet to calm down, instantly rose again. “Em… emcee Ai?”

Usually, Ai Tingya was kind and amiable. When she was in trouble, she was also as resolute as a female warrior. All the contestants liked her very much and would confide in her when they had a little trouble. Ai Tingya would also listen very patiently and not be impatient at all. She had never pulled a long face.

Ah Shuang sensed that Ai Tingya must know something, but she was worried that she would be treated as a bad person.

But she didn’t know how to say it.

Ai Tingya grabbed Ah Shuang’s shoulder and looked straight into her eyes. “It’s okay, Ah Shuang. No matter what happens, we will help you. Do you believe us?”

Ah Shuang nodded vigorously. “Of course I believe you, but it’s really hard to say. Let me think about it, okay?”

“Okay.” Ai Tingya let go of Ah Shuang. “Let’s go back first.”

She pulled open the fire door. Ah Shuang obediently walked out first and stood rooted to the ground.

“Stupid girl, let’s see where you can run to!” Zachary, who was catching her, happened to bump into Ah Shuang. A sinister smile appeared on his face. “It seems like you want to do this the hard way. Come here!”

He reached out to grab it, and Ah Shuang screamed in fear.

Ai Tingya grabbed Ah Shuang’s hand and pulled her behind her.

Zachary didn’t expect Ai Tingya to be here. His eyes widened in surprise, and he hurriedly retracted his hand that was about to accidentally injure Ai Tingya.

The atmosphere instantly froze.

Zachary didn’t feel guilty at all when he saw Ai Tingya here. Instead, he smiled and said, “Emcee Ai, what are you doing here?”

Ai Tingya didn’t waste her breath on him and went straight to the point. “Director Zachary, the principle of this variety show is fairness. You know that, right?”

“I know.” Zachary shrugged nonchalantly. “Didn’t you guys conduct training with great fanfare before filming started? Not only the contestants, but even the employees are the same.”

Of course, Zachary didn’t participate because he was the executive director.

Ai Tingya said, “Since you know, why did you call the contestants over? Private befriending between contestants and employees is also not allowed. Don’t you know?!”
