Title: Adopting and Raising the Male Lead and the Villain
Translator: Fringe Alpaca
Chapter 169 - We were filming right now. Wake up, Li Jinyuan! (1)
While Zhong Yuhuan was still in her dazed state, Huo Chengming had already pulled her into his arms.
The director reminded him awkwardly from one side, “Self-introduction, Boss Huo. Self-introduction!”
Huo Chengming finally let go of Zhong Yuhuan and the smile on him disappeared in a second or less. He said nonchalantly, “Hi everyone. I am Huo Chengming.”
Yin Qiqi was the first to ask, “What do you do, Huo-ge?”
Huo Chengming casted her glance and replied in the same nonchalant tone, “I am in the industry.”
Having heard that, Yin Qiqi acknowledged him and felt a slight disappointment. She only knew that recently the fields of real estate, IT, and film investment were the most lucrative and most prestigious. She hasn’t really heard of industry before. It seemed like only entrepreneurs in the past would go into industry.
Disappointment aside, she still gave Huo Chengming a few more looks.
He was handsome indeed, more so than many actors nowadays. Not to mention that being a member of the Finance Association, he must be fairly wealthy?
All the others were also secretly checking out this newest guest.
In front of the camera, Li Jinyuan also said, “Welcome, Huo-ge.”
The media was going to find out about their relationships sooner or later. It’d be too odd to pretend to be strangers in a reality TV show. Plus… that would make Huanhuan unhappy?
After Li Jinyuan had spoken, everybody else was even more surprised. So they all knew each other?
The director didn’t leave them with too much time to speculate. He quickly said, “What you all need to do now is to vote for your tourist guide for your first destination. This here is the voting box.”
There were no scripts in this reality TV show. That, too, was part of Sister Yang’s plan. Too many variety shows nowadays have scripts, and they were too cliché. She wanted to have something that would stand out!
The voting box was placed under the camera, and pens and paper were handed out to everyone. Everyone gathered around the corner of the lobby, sat down on the couch, and started filling out names on the paper in their hands.
The camera panned up close to everyone.
Every time the camera panned in, a guest or two would say something.
For example, Yin Qiqi stuck her tongue out briefly and said, “This is too hard to choose. I like everyone!”
Quickly, everybody filled them out and put them into the voting box one after another. Then, they filmed another part where everyone analyzed who’d be picked as the guide.
“I think Ge Mei-jie? I have seen Ge Mei-jie’s interview in the past. She is very good with itineraries,” said the popular star Gu Yuling with a smile.
Yin Qiqi said, “Maybe Chen-ge? Male guide seems more powerful. Plus Chen-ge just looks so mighty! Well, I voted for him anyway…”
“Okay, we are going to review the votes for the tour guide,” said the director.
Ge Mei has the most seniority among them, so the voting box was pushed in front of her to have her read the names out loud.
She unfolded the first piece of paper and read, “Wen Yongchen.”
Yin Qiqi smiled immediately, “That must be my vote!”
Second one, “Li Jinyuan.”
Gu Yuling smiled and said, “That was me. I have seen Jinyuan’s shows in the past and I have always seen his fans bragging about his boyfriend potential. Now I am curious to see his boyfriend potential when he’s our tour guide.”
Ge Mei smiled too. “I am looking forward to that as well. Haha.”
From the few, short dialogs, it was obvious that Ge Mie had high hopes for the new and rising Li Jinyuan. Gu Yuling was even more direct. She wanted to have a good relationship with Li Jinyuan. Perhaps, later on, when this bit was edited and aired on the show, she might even be rumored as a couple with Li Jinyuan.
Ge Mei quickly unfolded the third piece of paper and she did a good job at suppressing her surprise before she looked up and read out the name, “… Zhong Yuhuan.”
Zhong Yuhuan, who was cued all of a sudden: “???”
Now, everybody turned and looked at her.
Zhong Yuhuan could do nothing but stealthily give Huo Chengming a kick.
It was probably him.
Ge Mei pulled out another piece of paper. “Eh? How come this is blank?”
