Chapter 188: Chapter 17: The Variety Show Control Group Refuses to Be Cannon Fodder

[Is Hengheng okay? Is he okay, okay, okay?]

[My heart is about to jump out, poor little prince Hengheng]

[Falling from such a high place, he might have broken his arm or leg]

[Wuwuwu my dear Hengheng, he’s my favorite]

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared in the live broadcast camera, it was Jiang Lai, holding a child in her arms.

[Ahhhhh Hengheng!]

[When did Jiang Lai rush out?]

[I saw it! Super, super fast!]

[I just saw something dart out below my phone screen, I thought it was a mouse]

[Jiang Lai really... I’m crying!]

[Is she some kind of superhuman? What can’t she do?]

[How is Hengheng? Why did Mo Wanwan have the kid do such a dangerous move?]

[Blaming Wanwan up there, are you sick? Hengheng has been learning ballet since he was a child, Wanwan didn’t know he would mess up]

[Don’t blame Wanwan, she’s already crying out of guilt]

[A good performance really didn’t need to escalate to personal harm]

[I always felt Hengheng was unhappy, why is Mo Wanwan trying to showcase herself using the child as a prop?]

[Turning from a fan to a hater, goodbye Mo Wanwan]

Anyone normal could see that the star of this ballet performance was entirely Mo Wanwan. Even though Hengheng had several impressive moves, it was all to complement her actions, with no consideration for whether a child could actually do it.

In no time, Mo Wanwan’s reputation online plummeted. Even so, there were still many fans defending her, after all, Hengheng really did learn ballet from a young age, no one could predict his mistake.

Fortunately, Hengheng wasn’t injured, just a little frightened. After resting for a night, he felt much better.

That night, Mo Wanwan personally cooked a bowl of porridge and fed it to the frightened Hengheng.

In front of the camera, Mo Wanwan’s eyes were red, tears flowing uncontrollably as she fed him, her pale face full of guilt.

Hengheng, being soft-hearted, felt he had burdened her, continuously comforting her and smiling, saying he was okay.

"Mom doesn’t blame you; it’s because I didn’t perform well, it’s my fault."

"It’s not your fault, you’ve tried really hard, my good child. I know you were affected by something; was there something distracting you in the audience?"

Hengheng shook his head.

"No, it’s just that I didn’t perform well."

"You’ve learned ballet for three years, you wouldn’t fail today’s moves, Hengheng, do you trust mom?"

"Yes."

"Then tell mom, was there something that distracted you?"

This feeling was uncomfortable.

Hengheng is sensitive, instinctively shook his head, not wanting to say anything, but Mo Wanwan’s persistent guidance made him feel that if he didn’t speak, he would disappoint her.

So he lowered his head and said in a very small voice.

"They all like Yangyang, not me."

[What a sensitive and understanding child]

[That Yangyang is really annoying, always making a spectacle]

[Jiang Lai and her son are perfectly matched, hug our Hengheng]

[You fans are so strange, what does Yangyang have to do with anything?]

[What we say in our broadcast is none of your business, haters go away]

What was originally an unremarkable live broadcast suddenly flooded with viewers, overwhelming differing voices with acclaim and praise.

Even some rational fans found the overwhelming influx annoying, turning a simple show broadcast into something resembling a cult meeting, causing many fans to leave and watch other broadcasts instead.

Seeing Mo Wanwan’s rising popularity, the deputy director quickly called Ling Han.

"Don’t buy anymore, if you keep buying, it’ll look fake, enough is enough."

"Isn’t Jiang Lai’s popularity bought too? No one says hers is fake."

"Who told you Jiang Lai’s popularity was bought? The brand sponsors are very clear-eyed now. If you want Mo Wanwan to get that endorsement, then buy fewer fake fans for flash comments."

Ling Han was silent for a while.

"Wanwan just called me, saying Jiang Lai has investors backing her. Besides me, which other investors are on this show?"

"Nothing like that, I know all the investors; if someone really wanted to back Jiang Lai, I’d know. While Jiang Lai has a good public image, there’s nothing I can do about it; but Mo Wanwan has quite a few fans too, there’s still a way, just don’t be in a rush."

"I arranged for Jiang Lai to be in this program as a foil to Wanwan, and now? Wanwan has become her foil, what exactly have you done?"

The deputy director was really troubled. If it wasn’t for Ling Han’s significant investment, he wouldn’t want to deal with this troublesome couple for a second. What can he do about public sentiment? Can anyone not see Jiang Lai’s performance in the show? Or are they only watching Mo Wanwan’s boring broadcast from start to finish?

Variety shows rely on the sense of variety, they can’t be propped up, they need to be genuine and open, can Mo Wanwan pull that off? From the start, the child assigned to her was someone she knew in advance, whereas the one assigned to Jiang Lai was a notorious troublemaker that no one in the family could handle.

Now Jiang Lai has turned a bad hand into something extraordinary, sometimes the deputy director couldn’t help but admire her strength.

But admiration aside, he still had to help Mo Wanwan, no choice there, since he owed Ling Han a favor.

"Sigh..."

After hanging up the phone, the deputy director frowned with worry and handed Mo Wanwan her phone after walking out.

"Can’t use it for too long, don’t let the director see."

Mo Wanwan said nothing, took the phone and went into a room. The deputy director then heard a series of sobs from inside.

Oh great, now she’s crying too.

"Jiang Lai shouldn’t have done it on purpose, but she did know about this event beforehand, and she mingled with the villagers after the performance... It’s also my fault, insisting on choosing ballet, I should have just gone along with something fun like everyone else."

"You, everything has to be too serious with you; it’s just a show in a village, no need to be so serious, silly girl, how could those people even understand ballet?"

"I just... just wanted to give Hengheng a chance to showcase himself, his ballet is so good, and if he could perform well on stage, he’d be very happy... Didn’t expect, Yangyang would distract him on stage, causing him to fall, just in time for Jiang Lai to catch him. You know, with so many people in the audience, how did Jiang Lai happen to catch Hengheng so perfectly? It’s like it was planned..."

After saying this, Ling Han was silent for a long time.

"What are you thinking?"

"I know Yangyang, although mischievous, he’s not malicious. If he did this, someone must have urged him from behind the scenes."
