Fantasy: The Second Miss Said She Was Ordinary

Chapter 706 Going to the 21st Century (19)

While many loyal viewers expressed regret and disappointment upon hearing the statement, most people understood the situation.

After such a thrilling "accident," the atmosphere of the show is no longer what it used to be, and forcing it to continue would seem inappropriate.

However, in just a few episodes, the show has already achieved remarkable results.

Qin Youyou's popularity has exploded.

Not only did her Weibo followers grow to the millions, but she also received a flood of offers for endorsements, variety shows, and scripts, and her agent's phone was practically ringing off the hook.

The resources that flowed to her were far more than just those from the entertainment industry.

The first to come knocking were several heavyweights from the State General Administration of Sport, including Coach Wang from the swimming team and Coach Sun from the track and field team, who had almost gotten into a fight in the live broadcast room.

"Comrade Qin Qian," Coach Wang said bluntly, "we have seen your swimming talent. As long as you join the national team, we guarantee to provide you with the best training conditions and resources. The gold medal at the next Olympics will definitely be yours!"

Coach Sun immediately interrupted, "What's the point of swimming? Just swimming back and forth in a pool! Come join our track and field team! Your explosiveness, endurance, and speed are simply top-notch among Asians. Sprints, middle-distance, or long-distance running—you can choose any of them. Our goal is to break the world record and bring glory to the country, no, to all people of Asian descent!"

The two veteran coaches looked intently at Qin Qian, as if she were the final, perfect piece of their puzzle to dominate the sports world.

Qin Youyou felt a little helpless, but also a little amused.

She declined, saying, "I am very grateful for the kindness of both coaches. But this is not my ambition, and I have no intention of becoming a professional athlete."

"Why?" Coach Wang asked anxiously. "Just name your terms, salary is not an issue."

"Are you worried about the training being too tough? We can tailor the most scientific plan to your needs," Coach Sun quickly added.

Qin Youyou could only shake her head again: "I'm really sorry, but due to personal reasons, I can't accept it."

However, the bigwigs were clearly unwilling to give up on this promising talent. Over the next few days, they visited him three times, bombarding him with phone calls and text messages, and even offered more generous terms, showing no sign of giving up until they achieved their goal.

Unable to bear the disturbance any longer, Qin Youyou had no choice but to contact Xuanwu of the "Deep Blue" department again.

After listening to her "troubles," Xuanwu remained silent for a few seconds on the other end of the phone, his tone somewhat strange.

"Comrade Qin, rest assured, leave this matter to us. This is no longer a simple matter of human competition; it involves... well, the ethical and balance issues of superhumans participating in ordinary human competitions."

"China must never set this precedent."

After all, China is not the only country with superpowers. How can superpowered individuals represent the limits of humanity in the Olympics? This is not in line with the Olympic spirit.

Although Qin Qian herself doesn't admit to being a superhuman, she can easily crush any superhuman.

Soon, the highest level of the General Administration of Sport received a "communication" call from a department with extremely high confidentiality.

The content of the phone call is unknown, but the effect was immediate.

Coach Wang and Coach Sun, who had been so enthusiastic before, stopped contacting Qin Youyou. Qin Youyou, Xingyao Media, General Manager Li, and Agent Wang finally got some peace and quiet.

I felt a surge of relief.

They've worked so hard to cultivate these top stars, and if they were poached by the country like this, they'd be so angry they'd faint on the spot.

A few days later, Qin Youyou, who rarely had a moment of peace, was looking through some scripts in the break room arranged by the company when there was a gentle knock on the door.

"Please come in."

The door opened, revealing two familiar faces peeking out—Song Zhi and Gu Buchen.

Their eyes were somewhat blank, as if they were trying hard to remember something.

Are you Qin Qian?

Qin Youyou raised an eyebrow.

It seems the "Deep Blue" department is still not entirely at ease with the confidentiality agreement, as they actually erased their memories?

But it seems the cleanup wasn't thorough enough.

When Song Zhi saw Qin Youyou, her eyes lit up at first, but then a hint of annoyance showed.

Trying hard to recall:

"Qianqian! I...I seem to remember that in a very dark and scary place, you protected me! Isn't that right?"

In the fragments of her memory, only the sense of security that Qin Youyou brought her remained.

Qin Youyou smiled slightly, without answering directly: "Azhi, it's good that you're alright."

At this moment, Gu Buchen walked in with an air of superiority, looking down on everyone.

His memory seems to be more severely impaired because he hasn't watched the live replay of the show due to the online mockery of him.

Therefore, my memory of Qin Youyou's appearance is somewhat hazy.

"You're the ghost-catching master who saved my life? One million is my reward."

He lowered his head proudly, then suddenly paused, startled.

His eyes widened suddenly, as if struck by lightning, and he instantly "came back to life".

He stared at Qin Youyou's face, his eyes widening in amazement. His heart pounded wildly, and he stammered, "Goddess..."

The ghost-catching master has actually grown into his heart, who would believe it?

Qin Youyou's lips twitched.

"Let me reintroduce myself. I—no, I'm Gu Buchen, the president of Dixing Group. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Hello, Mr. Gu," Qin Youyou replied politely.

"Do you have time tonight? Let's have dinner together."

"I'm sorry, I'm not interested in men right now," Qin Youyou politely declined.

Song Zhi immediately chimed in, her eyes lighting up: "Do you have any ideas about that lady?"

Qin Youyou: ...

Where is this going?
