Chapter 108: Are You Leaving the Show?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After the other guests sent their messages, they quickly handed over their phones. Ting Jiu handed in his phone with everyone this time and his self-awareness made the audience in the live-stream praise him repeatedly.
However, when the camera accidentally swept over Qi Yan, the audience realized that she was still playing with her phone.
Qi Yan was only a few steps away from the director, but she was taking her own sweet time and wasting everyone else’s time.
The director couldn’t stand it anymore. He picked up the small loudspeaker on the table and shouted again, “Who hasn’t handed in their phone? Hurry up and hand it in.”
[Why is Director Luo so funny? There are only six guests in total. Why don’t you just call Qi Yan by her name? Why are you giving her face?]
[Emm… I can tell that not only does she have a low EQ, but she’s also unwilling to accommodate others. She’s clearly being pampered as the daughter of the Qi family.]
[What a stubborn donkey. She’s so full of herself.]
[Help, I really want to skip over her scenes. I don’t want to see her for a second.]
[Is she sending a message to her boyfriend who hasn’t been shown yet? She looks so reluctant, hahahaha.]
[Is her time the only time to exist in this world? She keeps taking her own sweet time and doesn’t even care about others.]
After Qi Yan handed over her phone, the director explained something to everyone. “The accommodation problem can be resolved by swapping partners, but our original groupings will not be changed.”
In front of the director, there was feedback from the bullet screen in the live-stream room. Many viewers were worried that Meng Chuyuan and Lu Jinsen’s group would be broken up by the end of the recording later.
Even without the audience’s reminder, the director naturally knew the importance of this group’s existence.
If this team was broken up, their audience might be reduced by half.
In order to prevent such a thing from happening and not let the other guests misunderstand that there was a change in the groupings, he had to explain this matter to everyone before they left to find a house.
[Ah ah ah ah, director, you know the audience.]
[Amazing, Director, you’re very perceptive. Full marks for the director this round, hahahaha.]
[My team of slackers, I can see that the two of them are already starting to be happy, okay?]
[I haven’t seen Sister Meng educating Young Master for a few days. I’m really not used to it.]
[Wow, I’ve been watching the replays from the first episode and I have to say that Young Master has become really different from before. I
[The sisters in front, of course. Sister Meng has been personally educating him.]
Just now, because of the accommodation problem, Qi Yan and Ting Jiu were already very awkward. Now that the director asked them to form a team, the atmosphere had already become very strange.
Ting Jiu suggested unhappily, “Director, there’s no need for that, right?”
He was relatively young and liked to hold grudges. Just now, he was inexplicably despised, and now he had to forcefully form a team with her to complete this round of filming. There would definitely be a lot of unhappiness in between them.
Qi Yan pursed her lips and said coldly, “I can form a group myself.’
“I want to be in my own group too,” Ting Jiu said, unwilling to be outdone.
Faced with these two stubborn ancestors, the director’s lungs were about to explode.
Seeing that the two of them had objections towards each other, that was good. Through making them form a group together, not only did the director want them to learn to get along, but he could also bring enough popularity to the variety show.
Ting Jiu’s popularity was relatively high. He was publicly acknowledged as a handsome man in the esports scene. He had a puppy-like face and a good temper.
Qi Yan gave off a feeling that she was out of everyone’s league, as if nothing could catch her eye. She was moody and had the temper of a young lady.
One big sister and one little brother, this grouping was not bad.
The director pressed his temples. He couldn’t take it anymore and gave the final order. “It’s useless for the both of you to argue. The two of you can only be in the same team.”
[This is the first time I’ve seen the director lose his temper. Hahaha.]
[Only Sister Meng is too much for the director to handle, the rest of them are all just simple underlings, hahaha.]
[If he’s in the same team as Qi Yan, will helpless Little Jiu Jiu suffer all the time? I suddenly feel a little sorry for Qi Zhen, how did he survive the first two episodes?]
[Little Jiu Jiu expressed: Don’t get involved.]
[It’s fine. With Sister Meng around, they won’t dare to cause trouble.]
[Come on, everyone. The main film has begun. I’m looking forward to the results of this conflict stricken combination. Hahaha. For some reason, I want to see Sister Meng deal with Qi Yan.]
“This matter is non-negotiable.” The director’s tone was firm and domineering.
“Whoever is dissatisfied with this arrangement can withdraw immediately.”
At most, he would pause the recording for two days and find two more guests to replace Qi Yan and Ting Jiu.
Recently, the director had been working on two variety shows at the same time. He was busy from day to night. He woke up before dawn and rushed to the set to work, arranging this and that.
He had specially worn sunglasses today because he did not want everyone to see his tired eyes.
This was also the first time the other guests had seen the director so angry. They were more or less shocked.
Ting Jiu did not dare to speak and silently agreed with the director’s arrangement.
Wouldn’t he lose face if he withdrew now?
Initially, he was not the one who started the trouble. It would be a loss if he quit the recording.
Qi Yan did not say anything and left alone with her luggage.
[It’s even better if she quits. Anyway, she’s an extra. Without Qi Zhen, who would look at her?]
[I suddenly want to go out and buy fireworks to celebrate, hahahaha.]
The director looked at her back view and said in disbelief, “Where is she going?”
They all knew that it was not the way out of the village, and her phone was still with the production team.
The director could only arrange for a cameraman to follow her at the last minute. After all, she was still at their recording location. If anything happened to her, they would be held accountable.
Because no one knew about the live-stream that was set up at the last minute, the popularity of the live-stream did not increase. Hence, the production team connected Qi Yan’s live-stream to Meng Chuyuan’s group.
[F*ck! What’s going on??]
[Production team, do you know what it means to ride on others’ popularity?]
[But… but I really don’t want to see her. Why did she appear here? My phone screen is only so big, and she’s taking up half of it. How unlucky.]
[What’s going on? Sister Meng’s episode is really tragic.]
Qi Yan did not choose to leave the show. She went to the village to look for a house.
She did not move in according to the production team’s request. Instead, she went to the village to find someone to take her in for a few days.
Seeing an old granny washing clothes by the pool, Qi Yan walked down and asked, “Grandma, do you have any spare rooms at home? I want to stay here for a few days.”
The old lady tilted her head and looked at her. She replied in Mandarin, which was not very standard, “You don’t have a place to stay?”
Qi Yan saw a cameraman following her, so she did not say anything when the old lady asked. She did not know how to answer.
Seeing that she had come from afar and had no money or place to go, the old lady’s heart softened.
The old lady had been squatting for a long time, so her legs were not very nimble. She picked up the clothes she had just washed and said to Qi Yan, “My daughter has gone to work. The room is empty.. Why don’t you come over and stay?”
