Kung Fu Baby with 17 Doting Brothers-Chapter 496: Pure and Unpretentious

In order to successfully sell them at a high price, Ji Zhangzhuo prepared quite a few scripts, striving to praise each piece of jewelry extravagantly.

Boss Xu, rich and extravagant, originally wanted to acquire these jade ornaments. After hearing the praises, he was even more eager to buy them, offering a very attractive price. Both parties were very satisfied.

After showcasing the jade ornaments, the deal was supposed to conclude, but Ji Zhangzhuo brought out another box.

"Inside are gold ornaments, but they are also inlaid with jade. The design combines gold and jade, harmonious as the singing of birds, as the merging of qin and xiao..." 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Tuanzi was bombarded with idioms, feeling dizzy, and instinctively wanted to hold her little head. Her hand stretched halfway, then got wrapped in a napkin, and someone wiped it for her.

Looking up, she saw Gu Qize wiping her hand with a straight face.

Tuanzi immediately felt guilty, there were still crumbs on her hands. Today’s Qize is very particular about hygiene.

Once her paws were wiped clean, she no longer wanted to hold her head and tilted her head to observe Ji Zhangzhuo.

She wanted to see what other words Second Brother could bring forth.

Ji Zhangzhuo slammed away, successfully dizzying Boss Xu, who bought the gold ornaments too.

Tuanzi: (⊙o⊙)

After the parties separated, Ji Zhangzhuo greedily calculated, his lips almost touching the sky.

Tuanzi pushed him, reminding, "Second Brother, mind your image; you almost had your own country once!"

The once Prince’s face fell.

"Don’t stab my heart, I didn’t bring any of the treasures from my palace. So! Many!"

He clutched his heart with one hand.

Thinking of those treasures made his heart ache. Even if he just brought some, he wouldn’t have to worry about food and drink in modern times.

Could God give him a chance to go back and transport treasures?

God’s answer was a sudden change of weather, with a thunderstorm.

Ji Zhangzhuo shrunk his neck, driving away all thoughts from his mind.

Tuanzi folded her hands watching the rain curtain.

"Jiang City not only loves traffic jams, it loves summer thunderstorms too."

Ji Zhangzhuo stood up straight again, realizing God didn’t intend to strike him.

In a few days, Tuanzi met Director Ming recommended by Boss Xu.

Director Ming had been worrying about planning and guests recently.

Knowing the sponsor recommended the currently popular Gu Miaomiao, he cried over the phone, saying how moved he was.

"Chairman Xu, I will absolutely not let you down!"

Boss Xu: "..."

On the day of the meeting, Director Ming came to the dessert shop with red rabbit eyes.

One point eight meters tall, strong and burly, unkempt, with a stubbly beard and red eyes.

Tuanzi was startled and hiccupped.

Director Ming, eyes brimming with tears, "I didn’t know if this show could continue, Miaomiao, your presence moves Uncle greatly."

Tuanzi quickly pushed a box of napkins over, experiencing what it meant to have goosebumps for the first time.

"Un-Uncle, what do you mean by can’t continue? Didn’t you secure the investment?"

Boss Xu is indeed wealthy.

Director Ming wiped his tears.

"Ah, mainly the shooting locations we found, several of them, we couldn’t get to the bottom of the rumors."

If the truth could be found, they could set up some game segments, leading big and small guests to find the truth step by step. Meanwhile, the crew wouldn’t disturb the protagonists of the truth. That’s when the show becomes interesting.

But without getting to the truth, they can’t set up game segments and worry the expedition team might explore in vain over a couple of episodes, angering viewers.

Director Ming shared his concerns, "I even considered changing to an exploration-based treasure hunt show, where we plant prizes at destinations, and guests find treasures through provided clues and their own reasoning."

This way, everything is at least controllable.

Hearing several rumors were unclear, Tuanzi felt excited. Her little detective personality was about to come out!

Now hearing about treasure, she shifted sides, exploration and treasure hunting sounded good after all, even if the routes were planned by the crew, finding treasures would be her win!

"Uncle," Tuanzi excitedly held onto the table edge like a curious little cat, "What treasures are there?"

Director Ming casually mentioned a few items.

"A three-day family trip, home appliance voucher, special guest invitation..."

The little cat head retracted.

Tuanzi lamented, "Uncle, such treasures are not attractive."

Ji Zhangzhuo, who came to the meeting with her, nodded in agreement.

"At least place a few gold bars, your show should afford gold bars, right?"

Director Ming: "...However rich, spending like that isn’t bearable. Plus, if we use gold bars as prizes, viewers might criticize us for being too materialistic. Some shows even got scolded for using gold bars and then changed them to things like a few days trip."

Ji Zhangzhuo, this ancient person, didn’t understand.

Gold bars not better than a few day trip? With a few hundred grams of gold bars, you could go on many trips, couldn’t you? It’s not viewers paying, so why worry?

Tuanzi urged, "Since there are many little guests invited, why not make prizes into a box, no, a box of chocolates or chips? Quite affordable!"

Her clear, brilliant eyes were filled with expectation.

Director Ming, looking numb, "No, viewers would criticize for encouraging bad habits in children."

Tuanzi lowered her little head, muttering under her breath, "Some people mind too much, tch."

Since the treasure didn’t interest her, Tuanzi switched sides again, deciding to support the director to film the show according to the old plan.

"Could find it, could not, what matters is the process, not the result!"

She asserted confidently, feeling proud inside, she, Gu Miaomiao, the famous Little Heroine, the clever and handsome little detective, would definitely find the truth!

Director Ming was greatly encouraged, stating he’d discuss it with the crew.

"Our station’s variety shows always perform poorly, willing to let me have the summer slot; I will definitely give the final answer this month, Miaomiao, please wait for Uncle!"

Towards the end, Director Ming teared up again.

Tuanzi rubbed the goosebumps on her arms.

She expected to wait long, but within a couple of days, Director Ming said their team decided to stick with the original plan.

"Anyway, our station’s shows are always criticized, if for failing to find the truth, it’s nothing new. Moreover, some viewers might think our show is pure and genuine, praising us instead?"

The little girl hugged her phone, gaining a new understanding of this uncle’s thick-skinned character.

"Miaomiao, you must participate, also decide among your family who’s coming along; ideally, if your Second Brother could join, that’d be best."

A top celebrity’s participation would make the show popular immediately.

Tuanzi ruthlessly extinguished his fantasy, "Second Brother has joined filming, can only take leave sometimes for magazine shoots, impossible to solely participate in a variety show."

"How about your elder brother..."

"Elder Brother is preparing to shoot a movie, he’ll be in the crew for a long time!"

"Then your cousin Gu, the Film Emperor?"

"He’s overseas for acting!"

"What about your cousin Teacher Gu Wangchao?"

"In seclusion, writing songs!"
