CHAPTER 667: CHAPTER 667: LEAVING THIS BEAUTIFUL WORLD

’Heh, the production crew is just deliberately targeting my Brother Ye, huh? Who doesn’t know that Brother Ye is afraid of snakes?’

’No, this is going too far, what if the boss really takes it seriously and actually fires Brother Ye?’’Damn, I must be a masochist, actually liking this segment, one word, thrilling!’

’All fun and games aside, don’t joke about the boss’...

The barrage was filled with comments, but the scene fell into dead silence.

Everyone watched Ye Xian anxiously, holding their breath. Would he make the call? Dare he do it? If he dared to, he’d be dead...

The usually audacious director’s voice also softened, "Ye Xian, don’t worry, we will explain things afterwards."

Cary: "But that’s not okay either!" That’s President Bo, just standing in front of him without saying a word can scare the daylights out of him, and now you want Ye Xian to... curse at him?

Do you not value your life?

As a proud and distinguished individual, even if Ye Xian has a good relationship with him, if he does this, he’ll get angry, right?

Jiang Wanze looked at Ye Xian, who had turned pale, "Can I call the company first before making the call?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yao cut in, "So we are allowed to cheat on this show? Why don’t we just cancel this punishment?"

Jiang Wanze gave him a glance. Chu Yao didn’t care at all; they were opponents to begin with, what difference did it make if it was an open fight or a secret struggle? Moreover, this was a game of tearing your teammates apart. Why pretend?

Lin Yan: "What about exchanging points for it?"

"Yeah, Ye Xian can use points to swap, he’s got plenty of points!"

Cary urged Ye Xian to take out his points. Ye Xian pulled out his phone, which showed a total of three points. The director shook his head, "No, if you want to escape punishment, there are only two options: one, to voluntarily quit the game; two, to accept the ultimate punishment."

Ye Xian: "What’s the ultimate punishment?"

The directors: "Run naked around the sports stadium for one lap."

Ye Xian: "???" You just want me dead!

There was no way she could make this call.

Normally, she was full of flattery for Bo Tingshen, and even then, he was unpredictable, thinking up all sorts of ways to torment her—let alone cursing at him. He’d probably have her out of this beautiful world in an instant.

Being fired was not scary. What was terrifying was that before she got fired, her life would already be over.

’I’ve never seen Brother Ye so troubled in front of the cameras before’ ’Ye Xian’s boss must be quite terrifying, he looks really scared of him’ ’Isn’t that obvious? Capitalists are all bloodsuckers and skinners, how many of them are good guys?’ ’A small account silently passes by in the barrage at this moment, this call really can’t be made, if I were Ye Xian, I’d go streaking now, don’t ask why, just know life is precious’

The close-up shot focused on Ye Xian’s hesitant and conflicted face. Just as Chu Yao was about to urge her to hurry up, the production team started the countdown automatically, "Punishment countdown ten, nine, eight..."

No way, running naked was not even in the realm of consideration, but to quit the game... She had worked so hard for so long and had given up so much. She had just reached the foot of the mountain, and the peak was in sight; how could she give up so easily?

Wait a minute! When the countdown reached three, Ye Xian suddenly remembered something Jiang Wen had mentioned; wasn’t the CEO abroad at a major summit meeting?

She knew about that meeting. It was a gathering of top talents from the business circles around the country, lasting for half a month. It was a key moment for exchanging resources and gaining control of economic trends. During the meeting, everyone turned off their phones.

So, the CEO couldn’t possibly receive the call?

"I’ll make the call!"

Ye Xian suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, confidently saying.

Everyone looked at her in amazement. Was she courting death?

"Ye Xian?"

The FOR trio’s eyes were filled with dissuasion, but Ye Xian shook her head at them, reassuringly, and dialed the number.

"Beep... Beep... Beep..."

The phone rang three times but still no answer. Ye Xian turned to the crew with an easy smile, "It’s not my fault if no one answers..."

"Hello?"

A deep and mellow male voice unexpectedly came from the other end, slightly raspy as if just waking up, as pleasant to the ear as the D string of a cello.

The barrage of comments exploded—’Damn, this voice is so nice, my ears are getting pregnant!’ ’The voice sounds so young and deep, so domineering! I can’t, ahhh!’ ’Such a soothing voice, my legs are turning to jelly’ ’In an instant, I feel like becoming Brother Ye’s lady, what’s happening?’ ’My god, is this really the boss’s voice? It’s even better than a voice actor’s!’ ’Others have bosses like this, ours has a voice like a drake, haha’ ’Just by listening to the voice, you can imagine how outstanding the boss is, suddenly the idiot C on the phone isn’t appealing anymore’

While the comments were awed by Bo Tingshen’s magnetic voice, Ye Xian was frightened almost to the point of dropping her phone. Why, why didn’t the CEO have his phone turned off? How could he have picked up her call?! Was it still possible for her to hang up now?

It was too late; the crew had already raised the ’Truth or Dare’ sign—The first sentence, CEO, I just can’t take it anymore!

"???"

Was she supposed to court death like this? She didn’t want to!

Everyone on set held their breath as they watched her, Ye Xian was on the verge of tears.

’Ye Xian, Ye Xian, speak up, I want to hear more of your boss’s voice’ ’Damn it, upon hearing this voice, my baby somehow flew out’ ’You fake fans, can you please spare a thought for Brother Ye’s feelings?’ ’Wuwuwu, Xiao Yezi’s timid look is so cute, come here to mommy for a hug!’

Bo Tingshen: "Ye Xian."

"CEO, what are you doing right now?"

Ye Xian took a long while to mentally prepare herself but still ended up asking the question meekly.

"Just woke up."

The man’s voice lost some of the raspiness, revealing a sense of luxurious laziness, as if he was in a good mood.

She had just dreamt of him, and upon awakening, she received his call.

Just woke up?

Did her phone call wake him up, or was it a coincidence? Would he be irritable from being woken up???

He definitely was!

Ye Xian felt even more troubled.

Since she didn’t speak according to the cue card, the crew held up a warning sign indicating that one more offense would lead to the ultimate punishment phase.

Ye Xian covered her face. Dying sooner or later was still dying; might as well just get it over with thoroughly.

"CEO, I just can’t take it anymore!"

The young voice suddenly rose in pitch, but the man didn’t move the phone away from his ear at all, simply pausing for a moment, "Oh? Can’t take what about me?"

Ye Xian looked at the cue card the crew was holding, and with a burst of courage, spouted all the contents, "I can’t take your capitalist cold-blooded nature, always putting your own interests first, never considering the life or death of artists, I can’t take your assembly-line contracts that treat artists like emotionless commodities, exhausted to the last drop of energy, I can’t take your abuse of power, using your own preferences as the sole criterion to judge others, often negating all of someone’s hard work with just one sentence..."
