CHAPTER 51: CHAPTER 51: KISSED, BUT BAFFLINGLY

"It’s not what you think!"

Zhou Mo Sen and Anne Hathaway seemed like two springs.

Popping up from the hood of the Mercedes-Benz car, then standing apart on both sides.

But, they spoke in unison.

This made Nicole Kidman smile knowingly, "It’s nothing, you can totally act like I’m not here. I’m not the kind to spread things around."

A classic onlooker mentality.

It also implied "carry on."

Zhou Mo Sen and Anne Hathaway were instantly anxious.

"We were just fighting!"

Again, speaking in unison.

After speaking, they couldn’t help but glance at each other.

The meaning in their eyes was clear: shut up!

But Nicole Kidman’s understanding was quite unique, "Oh, so you like to add a bit of violence."

Zhou Mo Sen and Anne felt instantly embarrassed!

Just about to explain, Nicole Kidman burst into laughter.

"Alright, alright, just kidding. I recognize you, adorable princess."

With such a compliment, Anne was instantly pleased.

"Oh, don’t say that, you are the truly beautiful queen."

Nicole Kidman was very happy to hear that.

Soon they were chatting away, and before long, they called each other sisters.

Chatting while heading to the elevator.

We’re here for a meeting.

Zhou Mo Sen felt a bit weird, but didn’t say anything.

Nicole Kidman is now a top-tier star, while Anne Hathaway is just a newbie in Hollywood having acted in two movies.

Such association, what is her aim?

While waiting for the elevator, the actress casually glanced over.

"Dr. Zhou’s medical skills are truly exceptional, Anne is lucky to have a boyfriend like you."

Zhou Mo Sen immediately wanted to clarify.

But Anne jumped in first, "We’re not, really not."

Nothing untrue was said, Zhou Mo Sen also nodded.

In the United States, the boyfriend-girlfriend relationship is quite important.

If it’s not, clarification is a must.

But Zhou Mo Sen felt odd inside...

This actress’s target is me?

Nicole Kidman looked at Zhou Mo Sen with eyes that suggested so.

And Zhou Mo Sen looked at Nicole Kidman.

Also felt her charm lingering.

No, no.

Actually, Nicole Kidman is the type that looks even better after turning 30.

Her peak was two years ago in "Eye-Opening Experience."

Anyone who has seen that movie knows, one look and no words needed.

Ding dong, the elevator arrived.

It also brought Zhou Mo Sen’s spirit back.

...

The KNBC Conference Room was already filled with quite a few people.

Jin Xiaomei, Megan Fox, and several other contestants.

Not all contestants were present, which was quite odd.

Additionally, Dr. Kate and Dr. Sidney had already arrived.

As Zhou Mo Sen and the two appeared.

Everyone was shocked.

Nicole Kidman, she is the true Hollywood superstar.

In terms of both status and rank, no one in this conference room could compare.

Someone even wanted an autograph.

Kate and Sidney focused their gaze on Zhou Mo Sen.

How did you know Nicole Kidman?

Zhou Mo Sen could only spread his hands, indicating it’s difficult to explain.

Luckily, Chris and Jensen came over.

"Hey! Nicole."

"Hah... Hello everyone."

"You’re getting more beautiful."

"Really?"

Clearly, Chris and Jensen knew Nicole Kidman before.

They chatted warmly for a few moments, then ’introduced’ this popular actress to everyone.

"Miss Nicole Kidman will be our next phase’s guest!"

Wow~~

Actually, many guessed this outcome, but couldn’t help but marvel.

Who doesn’t know the big name of Nicole Kidman.

Our cosmetic reality show managed to invite her, this definitely boosts the ratings further!

Everyone thought so, Nicole Kidman said a few more words.

Soon, Jensen and Chris handed out a document to everyone.

"Our next phase will enter the brutal elimination mode!"

Chris explained, and everyone read the document.

The second half of the show includes a big star joining in.

This was originally planned.

Who can stay, who will be eliminated.

This is the most appealing part of the reality show.

At this point, Kate and Sidney became more active.

They will judge, from psychological and physical aspects, who has a better chance to remain.

Of course, there will also be audience voting.

Since we are a TV show, interaction with the audience is necessary.

Nicole Kidman’s involvement undoubtedly accelerates this process.

But Zhou Mo Sen understood the document in his hand.

The American TV Stations are really impressive, they study ratings meticulously.

Just like this document, its content is about each contestant’s airtime rating from the first episode.

Which is the popularity of each contestant!

Zhou Mo Sen finally understood why not all contestants were present.

The ones with high popularity came, those absent were probably just cannon fodder.

As for the current popularity rankings.

Anne Hathaway is leading by a wide margin!

This is very normal, she was already pretty enough.

Plus, she starred in "The Princess Diaries."

Her appearance on the cosmetic reality show is enough to shock the audience.

So, is Anne Hathaway our reality show’s ultimate winner?

Chris, that woman, although she’s talking about the details of the upcoming show.

But every now and then, she’s casting glances at Zhou Mo Sen.

I, Dr. Zhou, understand the meaning.

No need to look at the documents, Chris has finished speaking.

And then...

"Everyone, do you have any suggestions for the direction of the upcoming show?"

Obviously, this meeting is to set the ’direction’ for the next stage.

To be more precise, it’s about who should stay and who should go.

And specifically to which episode.

Zhou Mo Sen coughed twice directly to indicate he wanted to speak.

"Please speak, Dr. Zhou." Jensen is very pleased; he values Zhou Mo Sen’s opinion.

We only heard our Dr. Zhou say, "Currently, Miss Hathaway’s popularity is the highest. So, I think she should be eliminated in the top 4."

Hmm?

For a moment, everyone in the conference room seemed not to understand.

Isn’t Anne Hathaway the most popular?

You, Zhou Mo Sen, looked at the documents, so why say she should be eliminated in the top 4?

Wouldn’t it be better to go to the final?

Anne naturally looked at Zhou Mo Sen.

That look of wanting to knife someone really can’t be hidden.

Zhou Mo Sen remained unaffected, calmly saying:

"If eliminated in the top 4, the final won’t be overshadowed."

Overshadowed?

Who’s overshadowing whom?

Zhou Mo Sen didn’t clarify, but some people understood.

Clap! Clap!

Jensen clapped immediately, smiling: "Dr. Zhou’s suggestion is fantastic!"

If the most popular Anne Hathaway were eliminated in the final, the post-show discussion about her would certainly eclipse that about the show!

So, better to eliminate her before.

But she’s the most popular, you can’t eliminate her too early.

The top 4 is the best choice.

Jensen truly feels now, Zhou Mo Sen going to be a doctor.

Such talent wasted.

Chris finally understood, and her look at Zhou Mo Sen changed.

But she turned to Anne again.

"Dr. Zhou’s suggestion..."

Before she finished speaking, Anne Hathaway elegantly smiled.

"I have no problem."

Highlighting her awareness of the bigger picture and overall situation.

But is it really so?

Nicole Kidman revealed a smile at this moment.

...

Meeting ended, everyone waiting for the elevator.

Thankfully, a TV station like KNBC has more than one elevator.

Soon, only three were left.

Zhou Mo Sen, Anne, Nicole Kidman.

Clearly, they did it on purpose.

But the atmosphere was eerie, no one spoke.

Ding-dong, elevator arrived.

Nicole Kidman broke the silence.

"Dr. Zhou, you are truly impressive, after the show aired, many of my Hollywood friends told me they are very interested in you."

Zhou Mo Sen instantly thought of that meme.

Are the friends you’re talking about you?

"That’s truly wonderful, I’ll have many new clients."

Zhou Mo Sen’s words made Nicole Kidman very satisfied.

The elevator door opened, she also assisted.

"I just remembered some other matters, you both go ahead!"

Saying this, she gave a push.

Zhou Mo Sen and Hathaway entered the elevator.

Anne didn’t want to be with this guy.

But as she was just about to leave, she was pulled back.

Who else could it be but Zhou Mo Sen?

"What more do you want!"

The elevator doors closed, Anne’s anger erupted directly.

Zhou Mo Sen met this lady’s angry gaze, still calm.

"Did you forget what I said before?"

"..." What did you say? Who remembers.

Zhou Mo Sen knew she wouldn’t remember, so he said, "You absolutely don’t need cosmetic surgery."

Anne Hathaway was shaken inside upon hearing this.

Is this his true reason for eliminating me?

Mysteriously, she felt very happy.

So strange, being eliminated isn’t a good thing.

Anne didn’t know what to do for a moment.

Meanwhile, Zhou Mo Sen took out something.

"Returning this to you."

It was that pendant.

Anne took it, still didn’t know what to say.

Zhou Mo Sen couldn’t help but ask, "Is it from your boyfriend?"

This question, if not asked, indeed felt suffocating.

Anne laughed upon hearing, "No, he’s my brother."

So that’s how it is.

Zhou Mo Sen felt relaxed all over.

But then, Anne showed a really helpless expression.

"He likes men."

This... Zhou Mo Sen had an incredibly rich expression on his face.

The elevator was extremely quiet.

But, the two couldn’t help but look into each other’s eyes.

And somehow, they kissed.

This kiss came too suddenly, too inexplicably.

Perhaps, Anne needed comfort.

Ding-dong~

The elevator door opened, Anne seemed to wake up from a dream, rushing out.

Zhou Mo Sen was startled for a while, then laughed.

Unconsciously, licking his lips.
