The beauty boss’s gaze followed the little girl’s waving arm to a wooden box standing directly above her.
Her surprise deepened.
—Looking at the beauty boss’s expression, could it be that Sheng Bao actually found it?
—Speaking of which, have you all thought about how Sheng Bao finds things?
—Shhh, that word can’t be said. Do you still want to continue watching the show?
—What are you all being so cryptic about? All I know now is, did the production team secretly give Jian Sheng the answers? Is there any fairness left in this behavior?
—You were the one who said Sheng Bao splitting wood was faked last time, weren’t you? It seems you haven’t been slapped in the face enough. The truth isn’t out yet, and you’re here stirring up trouble again.
—Actually, I also want to know. Fortune-telling is too mystical for me; I don’t really believe in it. I still want the production team to give an official explanation.
—Just wait and see. For something like deliberately leaking questions to Sheng Bao, it’s not in the production team’s best interest. The production team would have to be crazy to do something like that.
—That’s not impossible either. Everyone knows Jian Sheng has a powerful background. Maybe the production team succumbed to financial pressure, willing to sacrifice the show’s appeal to build a persona and promote Jian Sheng.
—You say Jian Sheng has a big background, but her own brother is here too. Why hasn’t he shown any special privileges? Haven’t the facts already told us that the production team has no bias at all?
—Who knows? Xiu Huan is only Jian Sheng’s cousin, not her brother.
Seeing the comments trending towards an argument again, the production team quickly started thinking about how to manage the crisis.
With the experience from the previous few times, they were now quite accustomed to this situation.
They weren’t even surprised by the accidents caused by the little girl.
However, what made them troubled was that they didn’t know what was going on either.
Hu Guangxu had been investigating internal staff for any leaks since Jian Sheng took the taxi, but after a long time, he found no results.
This scene was exactly like the last time they investigated who had told Jian Sheng that her mother had arrived.
The same fruitless outcome.
But this was a step they had to take.
In fact, after the little girl showed her astonishing strength and chose to tell them she could tell fortunes, they were no longer so unaccepting.
After all, it was just fortune-telling, not like she could punch them to death.
They were now trying to confirm whether someone had leaked information or if the little girl truly had the ability to divine the answers.
“Jiang Bin, Jiang Bin, hurry up and get over there. Jian Sheng’s team has found the answer, and they won’t have anything else to do. After you get there, take Sheng Sheng to play some item-finding games. The key is to test whether Sheng Sheng can actually tell fortunes, and to make sure the audience can understand and accept your results.”
“Understood.”
After Jiang Bin replied, he looked helpless.
The riddles, clues, and answers prepared by the production team were all interconnected.
For example, the answer for Jian Sheng’s team required them to first find the nearest hotel and plaza. Then, the angle formed by the orientation of the plaza sculpture and the hotel entrance pointed to the location of the next clue.
After going through several more clues and puzzles, they would finally find this calligraphy and painting shop.
However, they hadn’t expected that Jian Sheng and her companion would directly skip the lengthy intermediate steps and find the answer.
What could they say to that?
And now, he still had to go clean up the mess.
Whether the mess was a complete disaster or not depended entirely on whether Sheng Sheng obtained the results through someone’s tip-off or by her own divination.
Although… both methods were considered cheating.
However, the latter was obviously what the audience was more eager to see, and it was beneficial for the show’s buzz.
Meanwhile, Ke Xuan, holding Jian Sheng, had retrieved a small box from the topmost shelf of the cabinet.
It was only when she reached for it that she realized there were actually two. The lower box was not visible from the ground due to the line of sight.
Jian Sheng held a box in each hand. “Sister, are these two boxes the gifts Uncle Hu gave us?”
The beauty boss was a little helpless. Couldn’t they leave any suspense at all?
However, compared to the disappointment of not being able to build anticipation, she was more curious why the little girl was so certain she had found these two boxes.
After Jian Sheng was put down, she handed one of the boxes to Ke Xuan.
“Sister, can I see what’s inside the box?”
The beauty boss’s eyes sparkled as she looked at the little girl, waving her hand carelessly, “Go ahead, you’ve got them anyway.”
Jian Sheng happily opened the box and saw a small seal inside, as well as a small porcelain box for ink paste.
The material of the seal was unknown; it was amber in color with fine cracks in the middle, making it look particularly beautiful.
She looked at the bottom of the seal but found no characters.
The beauty boss explained, “This seal is the gift for you. You can choose the specific inscription yourselves. We have seal engraving services in our shop.”
“Tell us what characters you want engraved. If you’re willing, you can wait for the master to finish engraving it, and we can mail it to you if you don’t want to wait.”
Jian Sheng cheered and couldn’t stop doting on the seal.
However, she hadn’t decided what to engrave yet. Engraving her name felt a bit strange, so she simply chose not to have it engraved.
Ke Xuan, on the other hand, directly had her name engraved.
While the engraving was being done, Jiang Bin rushed over, afraid of any further incidents on his way.
Fortunately, the little girl remained quiet during the wait, only occasionally picking up the calligraphy and paintings displayed in the shop to look at them.
When Jiang Bin arrived, Ke Xuan’s seal had also been completed.
Upon receiving it, Ke Xuan was delighted and immediately asked the beauty boss for a blank piece of paper, dipped it in ink paste, and imprinted her name on it.
Although the value of the seals wasn’t very high, the gesture from the production team made them feel extremely satisfied.
After Jiang Bin arrived, he pulled the little girl away from the cameras, turned off her microphone, and they had another whispered conversation.
Watching the screen, which now only showed Ke Xuan and the beauty boss, the other viewers also started murmuring in the comments.
—Have you all noticed that this scene looks familiar?
—How could it not be familiar? Last time Sheng Bao split the wood, it also caused controversy, and then Sheng Bao disappeared from the camera for a while, reappearing with Teacher Jiang. After that, Sheng Bao began to display immense power and split all the remaining wood.
—So, now Teacher Jiang is looking for Sheng Bao again to confirm what’s going on?
—With Sheng Bao as a variable, the production team is truly unfortunate. They know nothing and are exhausted worrying about Sheng Bao.
