Thus, everyone’s gaze fell upon Ye Fei.

Yes, they also wanted to know what the relationship between Ye Fei and Zhao Gushen was.

Shi Jiumei was deliberately so loud, drawing everyone’s attention to Ye Fei.

Best case scenario, it could prove that Ye Fei’s results were inflated because of Zhao Gushen.

If possible, it’d be great to get her kicked out of the competition.

"What relationship? I’m not like you, chasing after someone to ask if they still remember me," Ye Fei sneered.

Shi Jiumei’s face turned bright red with anger: "Don’t change the subject! No relationship, yet your matter was personally approved by Zhao Gushen?"

"How would I know? Since you know Zhao Gushen, why don’t you ask him? After all, he still remembers you," Ye Fei sneered again.

"You..." Shi Jiumei heard someone snickering.

Ye Fei smiled and said, "It’s possible that the organizers couldn’t make the decision and reported it to Zhao Gushen. Anyway, who knows? I’m just responsible for submitting the application, then the organizers approved it. How would I know Zhao Gushen knows about this or personally approved it?"

At this moment, Ye Fei’s phone rang.

"Sorry, I have to take this call." Ye Fei turned and walked a bit further from Shi Jiumei.

Only then did she pick up the phone and saw Zhao Gushen’s name on the screen.

Ye Fei was relieved that Shi Jiumei didn’t see it.

Ye Fei answered the call, and Zhao Gushen said, "That woman chased after me just now; I ignored her."

Zhao Gushen indicated that he didn’t even know what that woman’s name was.

Ye Fei couldn’t help but laugh, "I know, I was in the dressing room and heard you guys talking outside."

Zhao Gushen smirked and said, "Just now in the dressing room, I didn’t speak to you because I was worried they’d think we knew each other and assume your results were inflated."

"I know," Ye Fei said softly, "That’s why I didn’t call you."

Hearing this, Zhao Gushen felt quite gratified that Ye Fei understood, but also a bit disheartened.

He really wished she’d call out to him.

Meanwhile, Ye Fei heard the staff urging her.

However, because of Zhao Gushen’s earlier words, the staff also became more polite.

"I have to hang up now, the competition is about to start," Ye Fei quickly said.

"Okay," Zhao Gushen nodded, "Good luck."

"Thank you," Ye Fei said, ending the call, and switched her phone to airplane mode.

Not wanting the hassle of turning it off, nor wanting to cause a live broadcast accident, she simply used airplane mode.

Everyone hurriedly walked out, and at some point, Ding Ruyun sidled up beside Ye Fei.

"The one who accompanied you to the preliminaries that day was Zhao Gushen, right?" Ding Ruyun asked in a low voice.

Ye Fei looked at her, and Ding Ruyun smirked, whispering, "You don’t have to deny it, I hadn’t seen him in person before, so even though I thought it was him, I wasn’t sure. But just now, I saw him in person, and he was indeed the one who went with you to the competition that day. Denying is useless."

"Since you’re so smart, you could see that, why are you still daring to provoke me?" Ye Fei stared at Ding Ruyun sarcastically.

"If he can accompany me to the competition, do you think our relationship is good or not? If you provoke me again, do you believe I’ll go back and tell him?" Ye Fei unabashedly flaunted Zhao Gushen’s influence.

Seeing Ding Ruyun’s expression change, a look of reluctance on her face.

But she dared not say anything else and suddenly became docile.
