I've Gone Viral Because of a Money-Saving Variety Show-Chapter 251 - 245: Do You Think the Other Person Is Your Ideal Type?
Chapter 251: Chapter 245: Do You Think the Other Person Is Your Ideal Type?
Following the official announcement of part of the cast for the love-themed reality show, netizens couldn’t contain their excitement, looking forward to seeing what kind of love stories these guests would share on the budget-friendly variety show.
Meanwhile, Chen Xixi also got in touch with her new manager.
The manager’s name is Li Jia, whose voice was sweet; upon listening, one would imagine her as a stunning beauty. Just by the sound of her voice, Chen Xixi felt as if half her soul had been stolen.
She had always been a sucker for beautiful women with sweet voices.
The woman’s sweet voice came through the phone again: "Xixi, the love show starts next Monday. The show’s head director has notified us that we need to film a promotional video tomorrow morning."
Chen Xixi nodded obediently: "Okay, who will be there?"
"The guests joining you for the budget-friendly variety show, you’ll be filming together."
"Just the few of us?"
Li Jia speculated: "Yes, probably the show’s director thinks they can boost the show’s popularity with you few. Adding other guests might not be as eye-catching, so they deliberately use your potential romances to stir up some hype by first releasing a promotional video to create a buzz.
But we won’t lose out either. We can also ride on the coattails of the budget-friendly variety show’s popularity to gain some benefits, continue to draw the fans from the previous show, and keep increasing your popularity during the program. It’s mutually beneficial."
"Okay, Sister Lee, see you tomorrow."
It seemed that the manager Nanxing Entertainment Company had arranged for her was quite capable and good.
She was somewhat looking forward to her new job.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Xixi turned to say goodbye to Mr. Chen, who was having a hard time parting with his beloved car, telling him that she would be leaving tonight.
"So soon?" Mr. Chen quickly pulled his thoughts away from his car, his face showing surprise.
"Yeah, we have to film the promotion. I might be pretty busy from now on."
"I’ll drive you there," Mr. Chen hesitated for a moment, his eyes flickered, then he added: "Never mind, I’ll call Uncle Zhang to take you to the station. I haven’t driven much in the past twenty years, afraid I’m a bit rusty. I need some practice."
Chen Xixi smiled: "That’s fine, I would be a bit scared if you were driving."
Mr. Chen clicked his tongue: "You girl..."
Mrs. Chen finished packing Chen Xixi’s suitcase, and Mr. Chen called Old Zhang.
In about ten minutes, Old Zhang arrived in his minivan to help with the luggage, chuckling, "Now I can say I’ve driven a big star!"
Mr. Chen joked back: "Doesn’t that mean you should give the star a discount for the ride?"
"Of course!"
Mr. Chen finished speaking and pulled out twenty yuan from his pocket to give to Old Zhang. The fare from the village to the station was a flat rate of twenty yuan. While Mr. Chen joked about a discount, he never actually took advantage; they were all old acquaintances that occasionally enjoyed a joke.
Old Zhang happily pocketed the money, "Thank you, Boss Chen!"
Mr. Chen spoke with concern: "Be careful, and take it slow."
The minivan drove off.
The smile on Mr. Chen’s face gradually faded, and he sighed helplessly: "Don’t know if letting her into the entertainment industry is right or wrong."
Mrs. Chen resignedly said: "The contract is signed, if we don’t let her, we can’t afford the penalty for breaking it."
"If they find out she’s our daughter, who knows if they might do something to her..."
Mrs. Chen clung to a ray of hope, "So many years have passed, and we don’t pursue those matters anymore, they probably have forgotten..."
"Let’s hope so."
Mrs. Chen suddenly realized something, "So the reason you didn’t drive Xixi just now is to prevent others from knowing she’s our daughter, not because of your driving skills?"
"Yes."
"In this day and age, if people want to dig up dirt, they could turn our family upside down in minutes, including those past events. I reckon they’ll be brought up again sooner or later..." Mrs. Chen hardly slept last night, she had thought these possibilities through many times, "Worrying is useless, what’s done is done, we just have to take it one step at a time."
Chen Xixi getting signed as an artist was unexpected for them, and they couldn’t tell if it was a good or a bad thing.
Chen Youqing said through clenched teeth, worried: "Those people are ruthless and dirty in their ways, I’m genuinely concerned..."
Mrs. Chen immediately interrupted: "Can you afford the twenty-million-dollar breach of contract fee?"
Chen Youqing fell silent. He couldn’t scrape together twenty million, not to mention one million; even if he sold his car and his house, it wouldn’t be enough.
Mrs. Chen pulled Chen Youqing back into the yard and then asked, "By the way, Xixi asked about our neighbor surnamed Zhou the other day, do you remember?"
Chen Youqing frowned, "I don’t. It’s been so many years, who can remember that stuff? Probably some neighbor we weren’t close with."
"Why did Xixi suddenly ask about that?"
"Maybe she ran into a childhood playmate."
Mrs. Chen speculated gossipingly: "Ah, what if it’s our daughter’s romance coming into play?"
Chen Youqing’s tone was firm: "Not likely. I don’t think she’s clued into that yet."
"Don’t underestimate my daughter, alright? She’s twenty-three, in the prime age for yearning for love, how could she not be clued in? Also, that love reality show she wouldn’t let us watch, I think there’s definitely something fishy. Tomorrow, I’ll go to the convenience store and ask Old Zhang’s son about how to watch the live stream, get it set up for me. I want to see which male guest is the best match for my daughter!"
Chen Youqing didn’t understand, "What can you see through a screen?"
Mrs. Chen lifted her chin with confidence, "With my years of experience watching idol dramas, I can tell at a glance if a man is up to no good!"
"..." Chen Youqing didn’t understand, but respected her view.
After the two walked back into the yard, a black Rolls-Royce slowly stopped by the road opposite their house.
The rear window was half-lowered, and the man threw a half-smoked cigarette butt out of the car.
Xu Nianying, with his eyes half-closed, chuckled, "Thinking she can turn over a new leaf by getting close to Zhou Jinyuan? Dream on."
What Xu Nianying didn’t know was that as soon as he arrived, Zhou Jinyuan received the news the next second.
...
Upon arriving in Jiang City, Chen Xixi contacted Li Jia, who arranged a hotel for her. Shooting a promotional video counted as work, so of course, it was covered by the company.
Miss Li was just like Chen Xixi imagined, with a sweet voice, truly a great beauty.
Dressed in a sharp professional outfit, Miss Li sweetly said, "Our company has also arranged an apartment for you, but you’ll be sharing it with someone. With our current status, you’ll have to put up with it for a while."
"It’s not a problem." Having a free place to stay was enough for her; she wasn’t picky.
"Let’s shoot the promotional video first, then I’ll take you to the apartment."
"Okay."
At the location of the promotional video shoot.
Chen Xixi, Han Qianyi, Zheng He, Wan Chen, the four of them finally met again.
After filming the promotional video, gossip reporters came over for a live interview, "The four of you are quite acquainted now, what do you think of each other? Do you see each other as your ideal type?"
[Ahhh! Chen Xiaokou meets again!]
[This question is explosive, can’t wait to see how they’ll respond!]
