“Can I interview tomorrow?”

On Su Yunjin’s side.

At this moment, she was unaware of what was happening with “Blooded Warriors.” After submitting her résumé, she quickly received word from them—a message that took her by surprise. She hadn’t expected such a swift response, inviting her for an interview. If she hadn’t already spoken to her fifth grandfather, she might have suspected that Mr. Fu had pulled some strings. But it was clear now that wasn’t the case.

After receiving the call, Su Yunjin boarded a train for City H, where the filming of “Blooded Warriors” was underway. According to their agreement, her meeting with Xu Zhang and the others was scheduled for two o’clock in the afternoon. She tidied herself up and went to the café downstairs at their hotel.

She waited less than twenty minutes before Xu Zhang arrived, accompanied by the executive director.

“Hello, Ms. Su, I’m Xu Zhang.” As he approached, Xu Zhang extended his hand and scrutinized Su Yunjin intently. The young woman before him was barely in her early twenties. In an entertainment industry brimming with beauties, Su Yunjin’s looks rivaled any of them. Her fair skin, her cheeks touched with a hint of baby fat, and those small, rosy lips gave her a delicate charm. Her arched eyebrows framed her brow like distant mist, and her almond-shaped eyes shone brightly as stars.

What was most remarkable, however, was that Su Yunjin lacked the air of those who relied on their beauty to stir trouble. Instead, she exuded steadiness—a carefree, transcendent spirit, like a sprite from the mountains.

Su Yunjin rose, meeting Xu Zhang’s gaze and extending her hand in return. “Director Xu, hello. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”

Xu Zhang laughed warmly. “You’re too polite, Ms. Su. The pleasure is truly ours.” He then introduced the executive director beside him.

With introductions complete, Xu Zhang began the interview.

“Ms. Su, may I ask why you want to join our program? Did you learn about the show before coming?”

“Of course. I did my research—the show is about military life. It’s tough, but I believe it’s a fresh take on variety entertainment. As for why I’m here, to be honest, I need a new start at the moment. And with my current situation, I hope to show everyone a different side of myself.”

Su Yunjin spoke candidly about her reasons.

Xu Zhang and the executive director exchanged glances, and Xu Zhang asked again, “Ms. Su, do you have any other engagements coming up?”

Su Yunjin shook her head. “Why do you ask, Director Xu?”

Xu Zhang smiled apologetically. “It’s like this—once the program starts, there’s a two-month training period. And since we’re working with official channels, we don’t allow guests to appear elsewhere during those two months.”

“I can accept that.”

“Really? If you’re willing, we can sign the contract right now.”

“Sign now? Then I’d like to take a look at the contract.”

“Old Li,” Xu Zhang called to the executive director.

The executive director immediately understood and took out the contract from his briefcase, handing it to Su Yunjin.

She took the contract and glanced through it. To others, it was a simple gesture. But in Su Yunjin’s mind, she memorized every clause, quickly comparing them against legal provisions in her head.

After a brief review, she nodded in satisfaction. The contract was fair—the main requirement was for guests to endure hardship and cooperate fully. As for other terms, since it was official, there were no traps.

However, as expected, because of the official intervention, the pay for legitimate variety shows wasn’t particularly high. For someone of her status, the appearance fee was less than one million.

She nodded again and picked up a pen. “Is it fine to sign here?”

“Yes, just sign here.”

With the contract signed, Su Yunjin bid farewell to Xu Zhang and his team. There were still several days before “Blooded Warriors” would begin shooting, and she needed to prepare.

“Director Xu, Su Yunjin doesn’t match her reputation online, does she?” The executive director finally voiced his thoughts after Su Yunjin left.

In his imagination, a female star like Su Yunjin, backed by wealthy patrons, would surely act like a diva. Yet, without cameras, she was so easygoing—it seemed almost unreal.

“That’s why I say, Su Yunjin has a promising future ahead.” Xu Zhang’s eyes shone with admiration. Quickly, he remembered something and said to the executive director, “Just contact a few more guests.”

“Wasn’t there a host named Zhang Xiaoxiao before? I heard she wants to use our show to redeem herself.”

“Yes, there is, but Zhang Xiaoxiao isn’t easy to deal with. Won’t her presence stir up trouble?”

“Trouble is good. Get in touch with her. The rest of the guests don’t need to be big names.”

With Su Yunjin on board, Xu Zhang felt much more at ease. Unless some top-tier star appeared, Su Yunjin’s popularity would surely draw plenty of attention.

Time flew by.

“Blooded Warriors” quickly became the entertainment industry’s new focal point. At the center of attention was Su Yunjin. Though nothing had been officially announced, rumors began circulating within the industry that Su Yunjin would be joining the show.

“No way, Su Yunjin’s going to ‘Blooded Warriors’?”

“Is this a joke? Su Yunjin, a singer, joining a military-themed variety show?”

“Ha, she must be out of resources.”

There were jeers and ridicule. But many also expressed envy.

On November 11th, “Blooded Warriors” was officially announced!

The premiere was set for November 16th, with episodes airing as they were filmed.

The guest list included: singer Su Yunjin, host Zhang Xiaoxiao, actor Guan Tongyue, actor Zhang Chuchu, and rising star Zheng E.

The day the lineup was revealed, all of China was in an uproar.

“Su Yunjin?”

“No way, Su Yunjin is actually on ‘Blooded Warriors’?”

“And Zhang Chuchu and Zhang Xiaoxiao? Those two oddballs are on a military variety show together?”

“Yeah, it’s insane that they’re both on the same show!”

“Zhang Chuchu is Zhang Xiaoxiao’s best friend, right? And didn’t Zhang Chuchu have a falling out with Su Yunjin before?”

Looking at the guest list, netizens felt as if they were standing by a melon patch, waiting for juicy drama.

As popularity surged, it wasn’t long before Su Yunjin, Zhang Chuchu, and Zhang Xiaoxiao each topped the trending search charts.

Meanwhile, “Blooded Warriors” itself climbed to the number two spot.
