Kung Fu Baby with 17 Doting Brothers-Chapter 295: Gu Che: Back, Back, Back
The group chatted for a while before the last set of guests finally hurried in.
As soon as Chen Wen entered the study room, she began to apologize, her pretty face tinged with a blush, like a delicious peach.
Duan Ling noticed it was a female guest and smiled even more broadly, warmly inviting Chen Wen to sit with her younger brother Chen Lin.
Although she was the only outsider, Duan Ling thought they should have more topics in common as fellow women.
Unbeknownst to her, as soon as she spoke, Chen Wen’s smile froze a little.
But with so many cameras around, Chen Wen couldn’t very well refuse and still brought her brother to sit over there.
Thus, on the left were theater actor Yang Jin and his younger brother, and on the right were athlete Duan Ling and her daughter.
Gu Che and Wu Ti exchanged a glance and silently thanked Duan Ling for her unexpected help.
When they saw social butterfly Yang Jin enthusiastically chatting with Chen Wen, they looked at Yang Jin with a hint of sympathy.
Do you think you’re just saying hello normally?
By tomorrow, the media might reveal that you have a crush on Chen Wen, either love at first sight or joining the show just to pursue a goddess. Bystanders would gossip, maybe even saying you’re a perfect match of a talented man and a beautiful woman, while Chen Wen’s fans might say Yang Jin is an ugly toad wanting to eat swan meat.
It’s not that they’re making a big deal out of nothing; it’s just that Chen Wen’s track record is too extensive!
In this industry, some people are famous for their acting skills and other business abilities, some for their looks and physique, and others are famous for scandals to maintain their popularity—Chen Wen is the latter.
Industry artists often collaborate to promote CPs, accurately speaking, to create hype for plays or programs.
Few people actually turn fiction into reality, and most people perform better in promoting CPs than they do on-screen. And regular viewers won’t take it seriously either.
Overall, artists create hype for plays to garner attention, the audience enjoys it on and off-screen. Once the artists untie for new projects, CP enthusiasts automatically disperse without blaming the artists.
This should be a win-win situation for all parties, everyone parts amicably, but there’s always someone who likes to break the rules.
The Yi Heng, whom they all know, collaborated with Chen Wen last year for a drama CP.
Later, each had a new drama, and they automatically untied to promote their new projects. However, Chen Wen hinted overtly and cried in front of big fans visiting the set, leading most people to think Yi Heng was too cowardly to publicize his relationship.
Because of this hype, most original CP fans became only fans of Chen Wen, and Chen Wen fans became Yi Heng’s anti-fans. Even when Yi Heng’s side came forward to explain, most people having preconceived notions still sided with Chen Wen.
After this incident, fewer people wanted to collaborate with Chen Wen for CP hype. After all, it’s just business for the drama, serving mutual needs, but you want to keep all the benefits to yourself—who’d dare collaborate?
But sometimes, not collaborating doesn’t mean the other side will let you go.
To this day, rumors of romances arise from every drama or show Chen Wen joins. If the other person is more or equally famous, it implies a hidden romance; if less famous, they’re infatuated with her, creating a persona of universal allure.
Because it’s all said by marketing accounts, if anyone criticizes her, her fans would say it’s the marketing accounts’ fault—she’s also a victim.
Gu Che’s wariness also stemmed from noticing how brazen this woman was becoming.
A few days ago, Yi Heng protested Yi Fei’s exit from the industry, and immediately, marketing accounts claimed Yi Heng left because of Chen Wen, as Yi Fei didn’t agree with Chen Wen entering the family.
Gu Che: "..." They even dare to exploit this kind of popularity—this person has no bottom line anymore.
Out of five major guests, only he and Yang Jin fit Chen Wen’s promotional needs, so both he and Yang Jin were in danger.
The barrage already had people commenting.
[I must say, a talented man and beautiful woman do look good together]
[My dear Wenwen stands alone in beauty]
[Carrying my dear Wenwen away]
[But isn’t Yang Jin too enthusiastic? Does he have a crush on Chen Wen and joined the show out of love?]
[Previous commenter, you’re making your sister sound too sought-after. Yang Jin is very friendly to everyone]
With all five groups of guests assembled, training and learning naturally commenced, along with some training for the audience.
During the training period, ratings weren’t required; those who wanted to stay and watch could do so.
Although most people weren’t interested in mountain patrol and forest protection, they were interested in beautiful men and women.
There were also intermissions where everyone could grab a bite or visit the restroom.
Chen Wen went to the restroom, and upon returning, made an intentional effort to greet Gu Che and Wu Ti.
But on closer inspection, lo and behold, those two were surrounded. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Tuanzi sat on a bench spinning a small knife, getting faster and faster.
Gu Che sat close to her, Wu Ti on his other side, and Wu Yu on the other side of Tuanzi.
The other kids watched curiously and came over to see, blocking Chen Wen’s path.
Reaching out to Gu Che from across a group of kids seemed too deliberate.
Chen Wen could only return to her seat in disappointment.
The trainers were actual forest rangers.
They might be a bit awkward on camera, but as for the guests, they treated them like students.
These were truly nature-loving individuals, only worried about guests messing up on the mountain. They taught earnestly and even named specific individuals for questions.
"Chen Wen, could you answer this question?"
Chen Wen awkwardly stood up.
She was spaced out the whole time and really didn’t know the answer.
"Um, well, I need to study more on this."
The barrage immediately had people defending their goddess, saying absorbing new knowledge out of the blue requires time. They even speculated if the ranger was targeting their goddess, why specifically name her?
"Teacher, teacher, I know the answer!"
Unlike the gracefully smiling Chen Wen, Tuanzi squirmed a bit and tried hard to raise her little chubby hand.
"I can answer!"
The ranger let her stand up to answer.
Once Tuanzi stood up, the camera had to pan down.
"If a fire is discovered during patrol, one must immediately...organize help from the public if necessary... if..."
Tuanzi tightened her little face, answering earnestly, and all her answers were correct.
The ranger nodded in satisfaction, "Miaomiao, you did great! All answers were correct."
Tuanzi immediately rubbed her face and said with a smile, "That’s because Miaomiao studied in advance and always listens to the radio at home when there’s nothing to do."
Gu Che fondly rubbed her little head.
But then thought, people would inevitably accuse his sister of seeking attention by studying in advance.
[Such a cunning mind at such a young age, already trying to steal the spotlight]
[Surely taught by her family]
[Uh, what’s wrong with preparing in advance? Isn’t it a good thing? The most important thing is mountain patrol and forest protection]
[I’d be more worried about someone like Chen Wen, who can’t answer a single question, causing trouble in the mountains. They invited guests for publicity, but might end up cleaning up after them]
Wu Ti laughed, "Miaomiao, you and Yu really have a good rapport; he also studied in advance at home."
Wu Yu nodded earnestly and emphasized to the ranger, "Teacher can call on me for questions too."
Yang Heng and Zhou Xiangshang also raised their hands openly, "Teacher can call on us for questions too, we also studied in advance at home, since forest protection is important, of course we need to learn early."
Chen Wen: "..." Are these people here to undermine me?
