Chapter 49: A Screen Full of Exclamations

Jiang Sui glanced at the five questions. Tsk, nearly every line was laced with insults directed at her. If Bai Xixue hadn’t done this on purpose, she’d eat her own hat.

At this moment, everyone was waiting for Jiang Sui’s response. Some wanted to see her embarrassed when her act was exposed. Others were hoping to see her put Bai Xixue in her place.

“President, don’t worry,” the secretary said to Ji Sicheng, who was watching the livestream. “Based on our research on Jiang Sui, this woman knows nothing about these topics. Someone once asked her similar questions on a show, and she couldn’t even utter a word.”

Ji Sicheng replied coolly, “Get everything ready. As soon as this broadcast ends, release the negative press about her immediately.”

The secretary smiled. “Rest assured, sir, it’s already prepared. The team will always respond as quickly as possible to anything that benefits Madam.”

After all, this was the team Ji had spent a fortune to assemble.

Ji Sicheng stared at Jiang Sui on the screen, his gaze icy and cold. This woman was nothing like he’d imagined—he had once thought dealing with her would be a simple matter. In reality, she had brought him no end of trouble, and subjected Xuexue to a barrage of online abuse.

There was no way she could manipulate public opinion to this extent on her own. Judging from her reactions in the past, someone must be advising her from behind the scenes. He sneered. An insect at the end of autumn—she wouldn’t last much longer.

Meanwhile, the Shen family was also watching the livestream. The dishes on the table had already gone cold.

“Jiang Sui really is an idiot. If you’re going to dig a hole for yourself, at least do it properly,” Shen Li mocked. “Looks like this so-called star is about to get roasted again. And she still insists she has nothing to do with our family—how embarrassing would that be otherwise?”

Shen Qian merely commented, “Foolish.”

Lin Hui let out a sigh and was no longer interested in watching. She knew her daughter well. Her grades had always been poor, and she dropped out of college to enter showbiz. She was uncultured and lacking in education. How could she possibly answer these kinds of questions?

The first question—Jiang Sui, stop pretending. Since you like reading these kinds of books so much, tell me, do you know what our country’s latest fighter jet is?

Jiang Sui replied, “J-6-101. It’s a seventh-generation stealth air superiority fighter jet, with advanced stealth, high situational awareness, and supermaneuverability.”

The second question—You, with your abysmal education, still dare to play the role of a genius? Do you even know how to write ‘failure’? Tell me, how many lunar landings has Country M conducted this year, and what’s the latest technology in the coating of their spacecraft?

Jiang Sui glanced at the screen and answered casually, “The thirty-sixth time. The latest technology is a rare metal coating brought back from deep beneath the lunar surface.”

The third question—Where is Earth located in the universe? If you can’t answer this, please stop pretending to be smart.

Jiang Sui barely needed to think. “Earth is on the Orion Spur, one of the four primary arms of the Milky Way, situated between the Perseus Arm and the Carina–Sagittarius Arm. It’s about 26,000 light-years from the galactic center and 24,000 light-years from the edge of the disk. Vertically, it’s about 100 light-years north of the galactic plane.”

By the time she had answered the first three questions, the scene had grown chaotic. The comments section was filled with question marks. After a moment, the screen was flooded with exclamations of disbelief.

The remaining two questions were also about technology and firearms. Jiang Sui barely glanced at each before giving her answer.

At that moment, the comments section exploded with excitement.
