Chapter 165: Searching for the Fairy

"Darned guy, going to play at the Great Wall without taking me along! Just you wait and see how I deal with you in *Fairies Descend*!" Yang Feifei kept a close eye on Nian Nujiao's updates. The moment Su Tong posted on Weibo, she received the notification, immediately left a comment, and reposted it.

After Yang Feifei's suspension was lifted and she teased *Apartment of Love*, many of her fans knew she was collaborating with Su Tong. However, they had no idea that Su Tong was the producer, director, and host of the upcoming reality show *Fairies Descend*, nor did they know that Yang Feifei would continue working with him.

This Weibo post took countless fans by surprise.

"What kind of movie or TV show is *Fairies Descend*?"

"I've seen the trailer for *Apartment of Love*. Sister Fei is hilarious, and the story is super funny. Is *Fairies Descend* that kind of TV show too?"

"Haha, I saw our goddess's subverted performance, transforming into a tough girl who leaves Zeng Xiaoxian completely speechless."

"What on earth is *Fairies Descend*? Someone please enlighten us."

"Goddess, who bullied you? We millions of fans aren't just for show! Let's immediately summon a million-strong army and a hundred thousand suicide squads to wipe him out."

"The goddess has returned, and the world is ours!"

"Support the goddess! Support *Apartment of Love*! But that Nian Nujiao or whatever, daring to bully our goddess—let's level them!"

"..."

By posting this Weibo, Yang Feifei meant to playfully complain about Su Tong, but she was also helping to build early hype for *Fairies Descend*.

To be honest, Su Tong's journey in the entertainment industry hadn't been overly rocky, all thanks to Yang Feifei and Sister Yaya.

Yang Feifei's pulling power in the entertainment industry was top-tier. Any movie or TV series featuring her was practically guaranteed a certain baseline of box office earnings or viewership ratings.

Otherwise, given Su Tong's own pulling power, even if Tao Jingjing had personally watched *Apartment of Love* and found it hilarious, she wouldn't have recommended it to Xinghang TV.

Xinghang TV only agreed to buy the premiere broadcast rights because Yang Feifei was in it.

Su Tong's team was able to set foot in Xinghang TV and undertake the production of the reality show *Fairies Descend* entirely because Yang Feifei was the very first to sign on.

However, for the subsequent female celebrities he intended to invite, Su Tong had no plans to target second-tier stars or above.

He figured that if it weren't for the goddess Yang Feifei leading the charge, he wouldn't have been able to invite a single female celebrity at all.

Having Xinghang TV as a backing would certainly improve things a little.

Yet, everyone knew that apart from *The Voice*, Xinghang TV's other reality shows simply didn't make the cut.

Furthermore, Su Tong's show was far too unconventional. Only a quirky goddess like Yang Feifei would dare to be the first to come and volunteer. Other female stars—even third-tier ones with sparse schedules—might not dare to take the risk.

Su Tong's plan for the reality show *Fairies Descend* was to record ten to twelve episodes. It would consume at least a month of the female stars' time, and that was strictly for consecutive shooting days, excluding travel time and transit.

Third-tier female celebrities usually didn't have many schedules, but they were still unwilling to waste their time on meaningless programs.

Su Tong possessed a formidable physique, striding across the Great Wall with ease. Xiaoxiao was only four years old and essentially unable to climb, so Su Tong carried her almost the entire way.

Xiaoyu had managed to build up some nutritional reserves and her physical condition had improved a bit, but she was still left panting heavily later on. Carrying two children while also shouldering a large backpack, Su Tong handled it all alone.

Gao Litong had climbed the Great Wall empty-handed, yet she was so exhausted that she collapsed onto her bottom at the Hero's Monument, refusing to get back up.

Su Tong put Xiaoyu and Xiaoxiao down and pulled out bottles of water from his pack for the three of them.

"Huh?" After handing out the water, Su Tong glanced below the watchtower wall and noticed a girl wearing sunglasses who looked somewhat familiar.

"You spend all that time searching, only to find it effortlessly without a second thought!" Su Tong hurried over immediately.

"Bibi?" Su Tong called out in a low voice to the girl in sunglasses.

There was also a young man beside the girl, and the two of them appeared quite close.

Seeing Su Tong approach, the young man quickly stepped closer to the girl.

"Who are you?" the girl in sunglasses asked, looking puzzled.

Given that response, Su Tong was certain he hadn't mistaken his person. He laughed heartily and said, "It really is Bibi! I've heard so much about you. Let me introduce myself—my name is Su Tong, the producer of Xinghang TV's *Fairies Descend*. Our show is currently looking for fairies, and we've already found our first one. Her name is Yang Feifei; you must know her. Now, in my capacity as the producer, I am formally extending an invitation to you. I wonder if Bibi would be willing to join our reality show?"

Bibi was a third-tier female celebrity whose recognition wasn't much higher than Su Tong's current level. What Su Tong liked about her was her exceptionally striking image and temperament, and when she smiled, her neat rows of pearl-white teeth looked radiant and charming.

Su Tong had been scouting for third-tier female stars for a while now, and Bibi was one of them.

If he hadn't been busy playing with Xiaoyu and Xiaoxiao these past two days, he would have already started contacting the other third-tier actresses on his list.

It wasn't that he didn't want to invite first- or second-tier female stars, but rather that he was acutely aware of his team's current standing. To actually invite top-tier actresses would simply be asking for embarrassment. Aside from Yang Feifei, the fun-loving ultra-first-tier quirky goddess, who else would be willing to come play in his production?

"Su Tong? *Fairies Descend*? Producer?" Bibi wore a blank expression, having never heard of any such thing. Mistaking him for some sort of scammer, she subconsciously took a step back.

"If you have any commercial proposals, please contact Bibi's manager. Bibi cannot make decisions on her own," interjected the male companion standing beside Bibi.

Su Tong nodded. "That's only natural. I merely wanted to communicate with Sister Bibi beforehand. If Sister Bibi is interested in the show, having our production team speak with your manager will be much more efficient. Could Sister Bibi spare me three minutes of your time?"

Bibi glanced at her male companion. The man's brow furrowed slightly; realizing how exceptionally handsome Su Tong was, a wave of intense jealousy washed over him. Rather displeased, he retorted, "Didn't I just say to talk to Bibi's manager? Bibi doesn't make the calls."

A trace of disappointment flashed in Bibi's eyes. If what Su Tong said was true—that even an ultra-first-tier goddess level like Yang Feifei was participating—what reason did she have not to join?

However, Bibi seemed somewhat intimidated by her male companion, obeying him in everything.

"Sister Bibi, just treat it as taking a break while I introduce our show to you. Is that alright? Just three minutes?" Su Tong said, choosing to completely ignore Bibi's companion.

Bibi's male companion grew angry, grabbed Bibi's hand to pull her away, and grumbled resentfully, "Scammers are everywhere—what a mood killer. Bibi, you're too naive; don't go trusting people so easily."

Having been given the cold shoulder and left empty-handed, Su Tong felt somewhat discouraged. It was a rather inauspicious start.

Hitting a wall with the very first female star he invited showed that the road ahead would be fraught with difficulties.

If Bibi had shown any genuine interest, communicating with her manager would have basically sealed the deal, leaving only the minor details of the contract to negotiate.

The female stars invited for *Fairies Descend* were all top-tier beauties of the entertainment industry. Not only did they need high facial aesthetics, but their figures also had to be exceptionally stunning; otherwise, *Fairies Descend* might as well be renamed *Jurassic Park*.

"So you have it this rough when you're out here." Gao Litong had been watching from not far away. Seeing Su Tong suffer a setback, a wave of ache tugged at her heart.

He always appeared so glorious on the surface, but who ever truly saw the sweat behind his back and the countless sneers and cold glances directed at him by others? (To be continued...)
