[Who said President Cai couldn't do woodcarving? This is practically a work of art!!]

[No, President Cai's carving of President Xuan is even more delightful!]

[Oh my god, I'm losing it!!! Vice President Xuan's dragon figure, ahhh! What kind of taste does President Cai have? Is this divine taste?!]

[Offering a fortune to buy it! I want President Cai's wood carving!]

[Offering a fortune +1, I want one too! Money isn't the issue—the question is whether it can be bought! Ah, I want it so badly.]

[I want a dragon figure of President Cai, that little fairy man! President Cai, can you carve one of yourself?]

[So handsome, so handsome. President Cai, hehe, what is this intention? Why didn't he carve clothes onto Vice President Xuan?]

[What does that prove? It proves President Cai has seen Vice President Xuan without clothes before, hehe.]

Once they caught that implication, the fans who had already been shipping the couple went even crazier.

For a time, the number of their CP fans suddenly increased by more than a dozen groups.

Xuan Yu confiscated the figure Jinbai had carved of him. Facing the livestream camera with a calm expression, he showed it off in an extremely casual tone. "This isn't for sale. It's mine. You can't buy it. That's right, no amount of money can buy it."

"Did you know Jinbai originally wanted to carve me?" Xuan Yu read out a comment and answered patiently, "I didn't know. It was Jinbai's surprise for me. Also, only I can call him Jinbai. You're not allowed to call him that. Call him President Cai."

[Ooh~ An exclusive nickname. Fine, fine, he's your Jinbai and our President Cai, hehe.]

[So delightful, too delightful! I hereby declare that I'm really shipping them, hahahahaha!]

[Vice President Xuan, may I ask an impertinent question? You and President Cai... ahem, are the two of you a couple?]

[That's very impertinent, but sis, I fully support you asking that.]

[Sis, you're so brave.]

[Ahem, Vice President Xuan, I want to know too.]

Xuan Yu looked at the question and couldn't help raising an eyebrow.

Cai Jinbai walked over at that moment and said, "This livestream is for promoting traditional culture. Questions unrelated to that are prohibited. Xuan, move over a little."

He had no idea that, with his tall and sturdy build, he alone was blocking most of the camera.

"Oh." Xuan Yu obediently moved aside.

[He's way too obedient.]

[What a pity. Why did President Cai have to show up at such a crucial moment?]

[Can everyone be serious? This is a rare opportunity to promote traditional culture. Stop asking about other things.]

[Exactly. President Cai prepared this for the show's premiere. If you want to ask other questions, go ask them on Weibo.]

[I really don't understand you people who ship CPs. I think the brotherly bond between them is obvious.]

[All right, everyone, stop talking about it.]

After the chaotic comments were cleaned up, they finally became orderly.

Next, Cai Jinbai and Xuan Yu livestreamed several other traditional cultural crafts that would be featured on the show.

Only then did the netizens realize just how multi-talented their President Cai was. He had a background, understood finance and management, had money, could do research and carve wood, make paper cuttings, and later demonstrated calligraphy. He could make fans and even inscribe them...

Of course, anything made by President Cai eventually ended up in Vice President Xuan's hands, where he took it away.

The netizens marveled that President Cai was an all-around talent in the literary arts, then were astonished by Vice President Xuan in the livestream. If President Cai represented the literary side, then Vice President Xuan represented the martial side.

They hadn't forgotten the opera promotion segment. Vice President Xuan's spear and saber work had been absolutely incredible.

[Young people nowadays are actually unwilling to settle down and learn a craft, but our traditional culture is what truly needs to be passed down. Foreign luxury goods can be bought as long as you have money, but our luxury goods—those belonging exclusively to Huaguo—are truly difficult to buy even with money.]

[The meaning behind President Cai making a show like this is so good. I'll support it when it premieres.]

[It's obvious that President Cai and Vice President Xuan take this show very seriously. They even came to promote it through livestreaming themselves. I heard the preliminary preparations took over a year. From filming material to visiting various places, some finished traditional crafts clearly couldn't have been made in just a day or two. It's obvious the filming team waited around for a long time to gather all the material.]

[I can answer that. I know someone whose relative is an internal employee of Jinbai Entertainment and specifically works on this project. He said President Cai allocated one hundred million specifically to promote Huaguo's traditional culture. Whether it made money or lost money, he told the people below to just go ahead and do it.]

[I'm crying. President Cai really loves his country. No wonder he came back despite giving up so much. The people who questioned him before must have had their faces thoroughly slapped this time. Let's see who dares say President Cai has ulterior motives in the future. He really has put his heart into this.]

Just as the netizens' attention was focused on Cai Jinbai and Xuan Yu's livestream, Black or White won an award over there, and Xu Yuqing, the most popular member of the cast, lived up to expectations by winning Best Supporting Actor.

[Wuwu, our Little Xu deserves this. From being shelved for three years, to leaving that exploitative company, to meeting President Cai, his talent scout, getting the chance to star in a movie, and winning Best Supporting Actor—you've finally proven your acting skills and your worth. Wuwu, this is wonderful. Little Xu, your future path among the stars will be smooth from now on.]

[Such a kind Little Xu is finally going to establish himself in the entertainment industry.]

[I'm looking forward to more excellent works from you in the future!]

Although it was Best Supporting Actor, it was still a highly prestigious award. After being shelved for three years, Xu Yuqing had won it as soon as he returned to the screen. There definitely would not be a shortage of opportunities handed to him in the future.

When he accepted the award, Xu Yuqing couldn't help reddening his eyes. After thanking the director and the production staff, he solemnly thanked Cai Jinbai. "I'm truly happy to receive this award, and I'm very grateful to President Cai. If I hadn't met President Cai, I think my life would still be completely dark right now..."

This wasn't an exaggeration. It was a reality that might have come to pass.

But now, he had walked onto a different path.

That night, Cai Jinbai also posted a response on Weibo.

The internet was filled with congratulations.

Xu Yuqing's fans also lined up to express their thanks.

Then, while the popularity was still high, the traditional variety show finally premiered.

Some people were looking forward to it, but there were still some negative voices.

[Will anyone even watch a show like this? Won't it end up losing money?]

[A show with this kind of subject matter sounds so boring. What young people nowadays watch this stuff? I definitely won't.]

[Promoting traditional culture is a good thing, but it really does sound pretty boring.]

[It's so long and not even funny. It'd be better to watch an entertainment show.]

Cai Jinbao gathered this data and read it to Cai Jinbai.

"Master, it's the paid commenters hired by Star Universe Entertainment again. But there are indeed some netizens who aren't interested in this program."

Cai Jinbai said, "No rush. This is only the beginning. This time, it's being released on a new platform, and the episodes aren't very long."

Jinbai Entertainment had begun collaborating with the Luo Family. The Luo Family had a dedicated platform under its name, and this time, it had specially given this program its central placement.

[As long as President Cai invested in it, I have to go take a look.]

[I trust President Cai's judgment. I think promoting traditional crafts has a pretty good meaning.]

When the show premiered, it wasn't the dry, boring footage they had imagined of how traditional cultural crafts were made. Instead, it opened by displaying the nation's magnificent rivers and mountains, beautiful scenery, and distinctive cultural architecture. Paired with the narration, it created an exceptionally immersive feeling that made people want to keep watching.

[It isn't the kind of show that makes you laugh, but watching it makes you feel calm and relaxed. It's as though, in a noisy city, you've finally found a quiet, peaceful place where you can slowly experience things with your heart, slow your pace, and then discover the beauty around you.]

[I thought it would be boring, but the cinematography is incredible. No, the editor is incredible too. With this editing style and the music, it's comparable to the presentation of photographs at an exhibition. It isn't just cultural promotion—it's pure appreciation, cleansing both the soul and the eyes.]

[I admire the older generation so much. It's hard to imagine how such complex jade carvings are made. These are the true top-tier luxury goods, things that are hard to buy even with money. Ahhh, why wasn't this episode finished? I have to wait until the next one? Hurry up and release the next episode already.]

Some netizens said that although the show's pace was slow, once they immersed themselves in it, they couldn't stop. Whether watched while eating or while relaxing, it was the perfect choice.

The program's subject matter, which had originally not been viewed favorably, unexpectedly became popular.

Not only that, the show also began airing in elementary schools, middle schools, and even universities.

Parents rarely found themselves in agreement.

[It's good for children to watch things like this. Those worthless programs should be taken off the air as soon as possible. They only delay children.]

[My child used to be very restless. Ever since I started playing this show at home, he was actually drawn in by the carving on the program and kept demanding that his dad buy wood and carving knives. Playing with knives is a little dangerous, but everyone, please take a look. This is his first carving. Why do I think... he seems pretty talented?]

A netizen took a look, then answered sincerely: [Ma'am, honestly, if this really is your child's first carving, then he truly has talent. If he plans to develop in this direction in the future, I suggest finding him a master to study under as soon as possible. If he gets good at this, he won't have to worry about making money.]
