Chapter 5 — Returning the Spotlight

This time, when I went to the dangerous area to pick fruit, the film crew was so used to it that they no longer intervened. One thing must be admitted - Pho Kieu Tieu was able to get to where she is today, at least she had some ability, but unfortunately she didn't use that talent in the right place. I am always on high alert for every movement around me. And when I realized it - Pho Kieu Tieu had sneakily avoided the camera and rushed straight towards me. My feet, which were standing on unstable ground, immediately slipped. I fell back against the mountainside behind. And this mountainside is even more dangerous than the place where Pho Kieu Tieu slipped and fell yesterday. If there is no place to stop, there is a high possibility that you will roll straight down to the foot of the mountain and lie still there. Pho Kieu Tieu still pretended to be indifferent, screaming in horror: "Ah! Thanh Thanh! What's wrong with you—" I didn't bother waiting for her to finish acting, immediately gathered strength from my abdominal muscles, reached out to grab Pho Kieu Tieu tightly, and at the same time turned around and changed positions with her. Right at the moment we both almost lost our balance, I reached out and grabbed a large tree branch, fixing both of us. I really wanted to let go at that moment. Unfortunately... Pho Kieu Tieu's screams of "fear" caused the film crew to come over. I slightly loosened my grip, immediately causing Pho Kieu Tieu to scream shrilly. "Come on! We're almost there!" I coldly looked straight at her, Pho Kieu Tieu's eyes seemed to beg, her fake pity clearly showing. I glanced at the group of employees slowly crawling towards us. "Now I can completely pretend that I have no strength left. Guess what... if I let go, what will happen?" "What... what do you want?! I... I can give you everything! Please... I beg you, don't let go!" "Don't be so excited. I just need you, when they get close, to tell the truth - why you got into this situation." At this time, the rescue team was close, but in an emergency situation, they did not bring filming equipment. Pho Kieu Tieu bit her lip slightly, tears welling up in her eyes, but her eyes were still full of resentment and unwillingness. "Sorry! I... I didn't mean to rush into you! I just wanted to... follow you and pick some fruits!" I smiled, shook my head, and continued to loosen my grip a little more. This time, Pho Kieu Tieu started to really panic. She quickly grabbed me tightly, her body trembling like a dry leaf about to fall from the branch. "No! No no! I intentionally jumped on you! I just wanted to give you a taste of what I felt like yesterday, but I... I didn't expect this place to be so dangerous!" At this time, the lifeguard had finished tying the seat belt. I still maintained my position, waiting until they pulled Pho Kieu Tieu to a safe place. They even tried to reach out and pull me up. But before they could touch me, I was firmly on the ground. As soon as she was rescued, Pho Kieu Tieu immediately changed her face and shouted: "It was she who pushed me down! It was So Thanh who intentionally threatened me that I said those words!" But the group of rescue workers just silently packed up the ropes and tools and left without saying a word. Pho Kieu Tieu was stunned and looked at their backs in bewilderment, not understanding what was going on. I took a few steps closer, she immediately sat down on the ground, leaning back on her hands. “Hey, be careful… If you fall again, no one will save you.” Pho Kieu Tieu established He immediately crawled towards safety, his arms and legs frantic. I slowly followed behind. Everyone around heard the entire conversation, the cameraman was silently cleaning the lens. All eyes looking towards Pho Kieu Tieu... have completely changed. 9 There is no doubt that the things I pick end up selling for the highest prices. The second person is Chu Hai. After the program staff gave me the award, the mystery gift was also officially announced. A man with gray hair but extremely clear mind stepped out of the darkness. Besides me and Chu Hai, the eyes of the other four people immediately became hot. I gently nudged Chu Hai with my elbow, he only responded to me with a confused and confused face. Next to him, a program staff member exclaimed excitedly: "He is the hottest director in the film industry today! The movies he made not only sold well, but the ratings were also extremely high!" "His movies are truly both suitable for popular tastes and have artistic value! I watch every movie no less than ten times!" Amidst a series of chattering sounds, I could only hear that the director's last name was Ly. After shaking hands with each of the four of them, Director Ly walked up to me, held both my hands, and sincerely said, "Thank you very much for helping promote our hometown product in this program." I immediately understood what he was talking about, my eyes reflexively glanced at the red medicinal fruits left in the basket. Director Ly smiled kindly and nodded in confirmation: "My hometown is now growing a lot of this fruit, because it has a very high medicinal value. This year the roads are clear, I also want to do something for my hometown, so I take the opportunity of this program to promote a little." After that, he personally announced: The mysterious prize is the main role in his next movie. Even Khuong Dien's eyes clearly showed jealousy. I don't really understand the meaning of this reward. But based on everyone's attitude, it can be guessed — with the name "So Thanh", this is a rare piece of luck. After the program ended, a series of communication campaigns were promoted. Some recordings that negatively affected Pho Kieu Tieu's image were also broadcast, and her reputation began to decline. Pho Kieu Tieu was used to always being "cut" into the flower in the middle of the stage by the show, but this time... it wasn't even her turn to be the background. In all promotional activities after the show, she did not appear. Gradually, rumors of Pho Kieu Tieu pretending to be a star and showy began to spread everywhere. There was even a video — it's unclear who filmed it — of her throwing a glass at her assistant right at the reality show studio. 【I've said it a long time ago, Pho Kieu Tieu and Tra Hy Hy are no different.】 【Don't drag my family's Hy Hy into it! At least Hy Hy will absolutely never treat an assistant like that!】 【So disgusting... just like bosses who are only good at venting their anger on subordinates. Poor assistant, she's really being exploited.] Khuong Dien was not affected much after this reality show. But he came to find me once, said sorry and invited me to join him for dinner. I always feel that people like Khuong Dien... have a slight tendency to "like to be abused". He said, the time I gave him a push, he "felt the power of women." However... it seems he still doesn't understand how much damage he did to So Thanh. I opened my phone, flipped through the photos edited by his fans to defame So Thanh, showed them to him and asked: "Do you really... don't know about these things?" Khuong Dien's face turned red, not knowing how to answer. Besides those things, the thing that surprised me the most - was the fact that director Ly, in addition to inviting me to act in the movie, also invited me to meet privately to talk.
