The breakfast was just about to end when the phone suddenly started ringing with a series of dings.

Who could be sending a message, and so many consecutively that it sounds like a symphony?

It should be a group message.

Mu Qiu picked up the phone, swinging her foot as she ate a sandwich and opened the message box.

Surprisingly, it wasn’t a group message, but personal messages from Li Yang and the others, and Shu Ran and the rest had all sent messages at the same time.

Mu Qiu’s expression became a bit more serious, and she put down the sandwich to focus on reading the messages.

Cheng Zhirang put down his soy milk cup and asked her, "What’s wrong?"

Mu Qiu frowned deeply, "Sister Guan Yu’s gossip revelation."

"What kind of revelation?"

"...Depression."

Actually, it’s not just depression.

There’s also #Guan Yu’s relationship with the Different Variety Show director#, #Guan Yu’s ex-boyfriend#, #Guan Yu’s depression caused by betrayal#, and other shocking revelations.

But the most shocking one is the revelation about Guan Yu’s depression.

After all, Guan Yu is a comedian, the life of the show, and half of the appeal is centered around her. She’s always cheerful and lively; how could someone like that be depressed?

And this depression was because her previous boyfriend betrayed her, colluding with outsiders to steal Director Guan’s show ideas, taking away guests who were supposed to sign with them and became popular, leading to Guan Yu and Director Guan feeling depressed and frustrated.

The story has been embellished extravagantly, with many versions, but the most truthful one is this.

These revelations burst out suddenly, without specifically choosing evening time, and without any signs, they were just swiftly spread by various marketing accounts.

It seemed like they discovered the news suddenly and released it promptly without suppression.

However, revealing such news a day before the show has a certain ulterior motive upon deeper consideration.

Li Yang sent a message to Mu Qiu, wanting to discuss how the mystery curse of the show crew has cursed them too harshly this time. Shu Ran messaged her to discuss the truth of the matter.

Is it possible that Guan Yu could be depressed? Is the story about the ex-boyfriend believable? What’s Guan Yu’s current situation?

But how would Mu Qiu know these details? They might be trying to drag her along to find out Guan Yu’s status.

But Mu Qiu didn’t say much, expressed her shock, and immediately went to Weibo to browse through the news.

Many formal entertainment marketing accounts were already summarizing the revelations. Mu Qiu pushed aside the soy milk cup, turned off the light music on the tablet, and focused on reading the news. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Cheng Zhirang had almost finished eating, walked over to move her plate aside a bit, and handed the two remaining egg tarts in the plate towards her mouth.

"Eat breakfast first. The news has already spread; it can’t be suppressed, only explained. Guan Yu and the show crew haven’t explained it yet, but they must have plans, so don’t worry too much."

Mu Qiu took a bite of the egg tart, nodded.

"But...Sister Guan Yu and the director, are they really family?"

"Yes, the director is her uncle."

The one...who insisted she use the name Guan Yu, that unscrupulous uncle? Mu Qiu rolled her eyes, thinking this way.

She remembered that in the first two or three episodes, Guan Yu openly talked about her uncle.

And several times, she got news from the show crew before them, and when ordering food during meals, she seemed familiar with the director’s tastes...

The truth lies in the details indeed.

At that time, the show crew invited six people, besides her and Guan Yu, the others were trending stars, which was fitting to invite them as guests.

As for her, because she was the original author and they couldn’t find anyone to replace the author’s identity in the book, they had to reluctantly find her.

As for Guan Yu, her role was actually very important.

The reason for inviting her as a guest, Mu Qiu thought was because the director thought she could take on the role of making everyone happy after seeing her performance in a comedy.

Thinking back now, half of the reason might have been because inviting his niece was more convenient for communication and he clearly knew she had the ability.

If the "ex-boyfriend story" circulating online is true, there might also be a compensatory mindset involved.

"Have another one," Cheng Zhirang offered the second egg tart to her, "Brainstorming?"

"Recalling previous details. If you really pay attention, you can see her and the director’s familiarity. The same surname, similar tastes, Sister Guan Yu is always teasing the director."

"Yeah, they actually didn’t intend to hide it, they just didn’t want to publicize it widely. Just one more bite, be good."

Mu Qiu didn’t want to eat it; she leaned back to avoid the egg tart by her mouth, shook her head to indicate she didn’t want it.

"No."

"Just one more bite, can’t finish it?"

"Brother Cheng, I don’t want to eat it~"

Cheng Zhirang had no choice but to take it back, placing the last piece of egg tart on the plate, carrying it to the open kitchen, and didn’t forget to admonish her.

"Watch it with the tablet on the sofa."

"Okay."

Mu Qiu took the tablet to the sofa, leaned against it, and carefully read the summary of the revelations by the major marketing account.

[Shuishishi Entertainment v: First, a netizen revealed that Guan Yu’s participation in "Different Variety Show" was actually reliant on her relationship with the general director Guan Zhen as uncle and niece. Guan Zhen specifically invited her as one of the most important guests in the program to support her. It’s also said that Guan Yu once had a depression period lasting about a year.

Immediately following, there was a sudden revelation of an interview with the staff of the "Face to Face Love" program group, along with a video of a dispute, discussing how the creative concept of "Love" and certain guests were copied from the current "Different Variety Show" general director Guan Zhen’s ideas.

Moreover, these plans were allegedly stolen inappropriately through Guan Yu’s then-boyfriend, who was still in a passionate relationship, from Guan Yu’s side.

What’s more outrageous is that after this incident, Guan Zhen and Guan Yu’s side could not appeal to secure their rightful interests. Because of this setback, Guan Yu once fell into a depression period spanning one year.

The shocking turn of events left the editors dumbfounded. Despite the frenzy spread of these revelations, neither the "Different Variety Show" committee nor Guan Yu’s side has come forward with an explanation yet.]

So, someone first revealed the relationship between Guan Yu and the director and Guan Yu’s depression, followed by others capitalizing on it to reveal the source of Guan Yu’s depression, naturally bringing up the issues about the director and the previous love-themed variety.

Mu Qiu thought again and again, feeling that the credibility of these revelations wasn’t low.

It’s just very hard to believe that Guan Yu could be depressed.

Mu Qiu frowned, wondering whether to ask Guan Yu herself. However, she worried that if the news were true, it might offend her.

"Brother Cheng?" she called out.

Cheng Zhirang shut the fridge door and turned to look at her, "What is it?"

"Do you think if the news is true, can the program still be recorded normally tomorrow? Will Sister Guan Yu miss this episode?"

"Probably not. This program is their shared effort; it won’t go wrong so easily. You should be aware of this."

Mu Qiu nodded.

She certainly knew, because when she initially became a scriptwriter for the program, she overheard a few arguments between the director and the others.

Later, when they decided to make her a regular guest, they implicitly expressed that this program was extremely important for the director and the team who couldn’t make a comeback. The entire crew had very serious expressions back then.
