Variety Show Slot

When Qi Si saw the message Augus had sent, a surge of delight rose in his heart.

He completely forgot that he had been the one to send the other person so many messages first.

[Augus: There were some matters at the club to handle. I didn't have my phone on me.]

[Augus: Let's forget about dinner. It's too late.]

How touching!

He had actually replied with two messages!

Who understood this, family?

He must be interested in me too!

Qi Si rolled around on the bed and went a little crazy for a while.

Then he laughed at the video voiceover that suddenly popped into his head.

He had watched too many short videos these past two days. They really were poisonous!

[Unrestrained: It's okay, I guessed you were busy, so I already came home!]

"A Si! Dinner!" Qi Wang called from downstairs just as he finished replying.

"Oh! Coming right away!" Qi Si answered.

He had thought the other side would leave him on read again. Just as he was about to put down his phone and go eat first, the other person unexpectedly replied at once.

[Augus: Mm. Eat properly.]

Qi Si looked at the reply, tilted his head, and scratched at his hair.

His face was full of confusion.

"How did he know I was going to eat?"

It had to be a coincidence. It couldn't be that this guy was the worm in his stomach, could it?

"Maybe he happens to be eating too? So he's actually reminding me not to disturb him while he eats?"

If Bo Yanqi knew how Qi Si had interpreted his words, he would probably be torn between laughter and tears.

[Unrestrained: Okay! You eat properly too. (Cute)]

After sending that reply, Qi Si put down his phone and went downstairs for dinner.

When Qi Wang saw Qi Si come down, he said, "If you'd taken any longer, I was about to go upstairs and tie you up."

"I'm here, I'm here!" Qi Si hurried over to the table and sat down. "Wow! My brother's cooking is amazing, isn't it? Your future wife is going to be so lucky!"

"Shouldn't she be thanking you? I've never seen a kid so hard to please at mealtime." Qi Wang sounded like he was complaining about Qi Si, but his voice was filled with amusement.

Qi Wang's cooking had indeed become this good because of Qi Si. It would not be an exaggeration to say he had learned it for Qi Si.

Qi Si pretended not to hear Qi Wang's complaints and buried himself in his food.

As he ate, he lavished exaggerated praise on every bite.

Qi Wang wore a look of disdain, but he was actually quite pleased.

The two brothers both enjoyed the meal immensely.

After dinner, Qi Si did not hurry upstairs. He sat on the living room sofa and watched television.

After clearing the table, Qi Wang brought over a plate of green grapes, set it on the coffee table in front of Qi Si, and sat beside him.

Qi Si casually grabbed a green grape and popped it into his mouth.

The program playing on television was Go! All-Round Charge!.

Go! All-Round Charge! was currently the hottest entertainment variety show, firmly ranked first among programs of its kind!

Countless celebrities were fighting tooth and nail for a chance to appear on it.

At this moment, Qi Si had yet to realize that this show was another stepping stone that had allowed Lin Weiwei to climb higher in the original novel.

Coincidentally, this stepping stone had also been given to Lin Weiwei by Qi Si.

Once Qi Wang saw what show Qi Si was watching, his gaze darkened, and the air pressure around him instantly dropped.

"You still want to give the slot for this variety show to Lin Weiwei?"

"Huh?" Qi Si looked utterly bewildered.

What did that mean?

What did this variety show have to do with Lin Weiwei?

Seeing Qi Si's expression, Qi Wang became somewhat uncertain as well.

"Did you forget? You asked me before to get Lin Weiwei a variety show slot."

"Uh..." Qi Si genuinely had no idea.

The one who had asked Qi Wang to get Lin Weiwei a slot was the original owner, not him. How could he know so clearly?

Qi Si carefully searched through the original owner's memories and found that there did seem to be such an incident.

In order to pursue Lin Weiwei, the original owner had given her all sorts of gifts.

But Lin Weiwei had not been very interested in the gifts he gave her, which left the original owner feeling deeply frustrated.

Later, Lin Weiwei deliberately or unintentionally expressed her need for resources.

The original owner had only Lin Weiwei on his mind, so naturally, he did his best to satisfy whatever she wanted.

Later, he discovered that feeding Lin Weiwei resources could make her attitude toward him much better.

Thus, it was as though the original owner had suddenly opened some strange set of meridians. Every time he wanted to please Lin Weiwei, he would give her resources.

Go! All-Round Charge! was no exception. Lin Weiwei had been unhappy, and the original owner wanted to coax her, so he had begged Qi Wang to secure it for him.

When Qi Si recalled this, his blood pressure nearly shot through the roof.

The only thing worth being thankful for was that the show's resources had not yet been delivered into Lin Weiwei's hands.

"Brother! Believe it or not, I really don't like Lin Weiwei anymore! There's no way this resource will be given to Lin Weiwei!"

Qi Wang looked at Qi Si with an expression full of suspicion.

"You mean that?"

"Of course I do! I've already fallen out with Lin Weiwei. How could I still be that pathetic? Besides, when I came back tonight, I saw her in the West Mountain parking lot, getting handsy with Bo Fuyu!"

Qi Wang froze slightly at that, then looked at Qi Si suspiciously. "You're saying Lin Weiwei got involved with Bo Fuyu again?"

"Yeah! Huh? Wait, what do you mean, again?" Qi Si suddenly realized there was something off about Qi Wang's wording.

Qi Wang's movements paused. He stared at Qi Si with a complicated expression. "Are you sure you don't like Lin Weiwei anymore?"

"I'm sure!" Qi Si nodded heavily, his gaze so determined that he looked ready to charge onto a battlefield the next second.

Only then did Qi Wang let out a breath of relief upon seeing that expression.

"I was afraid you'd be hurt, so I never told you before. Lin Weiwei isn't as simple as you think."

"Uh..." Qi Si rubbed his nose, unsure how to tell Qi Wang that he naturally knew Lin Weiwei was not so simple.

She had charmed both the male lead and supporting male characters until they lost all sense of direction, making them do so many things that went against their nature. No ordinary person could accomplish that.

Qi Si's hesitation, in Qi Wang's eyes, seemed like disbelief in his words.

"I'm not trying to slander Lin Weiwei. My people previously photographed Lin Weiwei going on dates with different men. Several of them had worked with Qi Corporation before."

Qi Si asked in surprise, "When did that happen? Why didn't you tell me?"

"A long time ago. Back then, you were chasing Lin Weiwei as if possessed. Even if I'd told you, you wouldn't have believed me."

Qi Wang was right. At that time, Qi Si had not yet come over. Given how much the original owner liked Lin Weiwei, if Qi Wang had really told him about this, the original owner might have believed Qi Wang was deliberately framing Lin Weiwei to smear her.

It was entirely possible that he would have completely fallen out with Qi Wang over Lin Weiwei.

Qi Si could not help feeling sorry for Qi Wang.

What sin had Qi Wang committed in his previous life to end up with such a brother who dragged him down in this one?

"Brother, don't worry. I really don't like Lin Weiwei anymore!"

Qi Wang did not know whether he truly believed Qi Si or not. He stared into Qi Si's eyes for a while before asking, "In that case, I won't give this slot to Lin Weiwei?"

"Why give it to her? I might as well go on it myself!" Qi Si immediately said.
