Where Did This Non-Mainstream Come From!!

After three hundred rounds of the chasing game, Xie Mi and the dark-skinned man stood on opposite sides of a green belt, supporting their knees and panting heavily.

"Xie, Xie Sis... Why are you running..."

"If you saw a psycho... would you not run?"

"I'm not a psycho, I'm your new assistant!"

"New assistant?"

Xie Mi finally caught her breath and looked at him with slight suspicion. "Which side hired you?"

The Xie family? The production team? Or...

"Of course the company side!"

The most unlikely option appeared.

"With my stingy company, they still have money to hire an assistant?" Xie Mi's entire face spelled disbelief.

Speaking of the agency where the original host was signed, it truly was a wonder in the industry.

No operations, no public relations, no gigs accepted.

The artists under them were all self-reliant, obscure little transparency figures. Finding work relied entirely on submitting resumes themselves, and they had to take the bus to rush to events. Let alone assistants, they didn't even have a single manager.

The artists were all managed by the company's human resources department.

'Caw, caw-'

President Zhang of the company sent her a WeChat message.

[My Last Name Is Zhang Don't Be Arrogant]: Little Xie, forgot to tell you, you are now our company's hottest artist. The company spared no expense to hire an assistant for you, and from now on he will follow your schedule.

[My Last Name Is Zhang Don't Be Arrogant]: Can't talk, the janitor resigned, I'm going to clean up first.

[I Hate Cilantro]: ...

Putting down her phone and looking at the dark-skinned man in front of her, Xie Mi asked the question she was most curious about. "How much salary is the company paying you?"

"Eight hundred a month! And they're giving me an internship certificate too! President Zhang is really such a good person!" The dark-skinned man grinned, clear-eyed and foolish.

Turns out he was a college student, then it was fine.

"Sis, you can just call me Maomao from now on."

"Isn't it a bit awkward to jump straight to a nickname? What's your full name?"

"Let's use a nickname, using a nickname is better!"

The lost and found broadcast sounded in the nearby airport: "Mr. Diao Mao, your ID card was lost in Terminal 1, please come to the Lost and Found Center to collect it immediately..."

Maomao slapped his thigh. "Hey! My ID card!"

Xie Mi:"..."

It really was better to use a nickname.

As a god-tier extrovert, Xie Mi quickly warmed up to Maomao, who was also an extrovert.

She learned from Maomao that during these three days of recording in South Sea City, he would also be staying here.

"The company arranged a place for me to stay. If you need anything during the recording, feel free to WeChat me anytime!"

"This crappy company even covers your lodging?!" Xie Mi was shocked.

"Yeah, President Zhang's second uncle is a fisherman here, so I'm staying at his second uncle's place. Not only do they cover lodging, they cover meals too!"

"..."

That made a lot more sense.

With an hour left before filming time, Xie Mi decided to change her outfit first.

Since she had come to South Sea City, she naturally had to do as the locals do.

So she took Maomao to the local clothing wholesale market, changed into a floral shirt, oversized shorts, and flip-flops, and even went to the hair salon to blow-dry a new hairstyle, before finally arriving at the bus stop designated by Director Niu.

Romantic background music sounded in the distance, and a pink love-heart bus drove slowly over, stopping in front of the bus stop.

"Welcome to the Love Watch Heart-Shaped Bus..."

Director Niu poked his head out, his face radiant with joy, and instantly let out a piercing shriek when he saw Xie Mi.

"What the hell, where did this non-mainstream come from!!"

"I don't like what you just said, take it back."

Xie Mi affectionately touched the three upright spikes on her head. "The owner of the hair salon blew this out for me himself. He said locals here in Nanhai all look like this—fashionable."

Director Niu slumped back in a daze. "Pulling this dead act again."

[Holy crap!! A jump scare right at the start! Haven't seen her in a few days and my Sister Xie has grown even crazier]

[I felt something was wrong when I saw this love bus and romantic BGM earlier, but as soon as Sister Xie makes an entrance, the vibe is right]

[Old Xie, what is the meaning of this hairstyle? You're making me very angry, it's fine this time, don't do it next time. If you do it again next time, then it'll be fine next time too]

[What a truly hard soft persimmon]

When Xie Mi got on the bus, she discovered that the other guests had already arrived.

It seemed her spot was the last stop.

Director Niu was still pounding the window in regret, softly complaining.

"Clearly she was arranged to appear last, clearly the pink bubble atmosphere had already been built up, why was it still ruined, why!"

Xie Mi, who was currently putting on her recording equipment, heard Director Niu's babbling and understood instantly.

So Director Niu was trying to pursue a romantic atmosphere.

She decided to lend a hand, and thus said excitedly.

"Clouds think of clothes and flowers of face, spring breeze furls the balustrade and dew grows lush. Beautiful peonies, good morning!"

"Pfft-" Qiu Chengye spat out a mouthful of water.

The romance was great, don't be romantic next time.

[As expected of my Sister Xie, if her opening isn't national essence, it beats national essence]

[I'm done for, hahaha]

[I could never think of such tacky words in my life, leave it to Old Xie]

Director Niu was completely dead this time, his heart dead.

Xie Mi was very satisfied with her tacky love poetry, it's just that the three antennas on top of her head were truly somewhat inconvenient to move around with inside the bus, and she prepared to quickly find a seat to sit down.

Only to find that these seats were somewhat particular.

Qiu Chengye and Liu Woxing were sitting side by side. Apart from them, Xu Shuangrong, Xiao Jingxi, and Shen Yeqing each had an empty seat next to them.

"Sit," Xiao Jingxi suddenly called out to her, naturally patting the seat beside him.

Slap-

Shen Yeqing directly draped a long leg over it, looking at Xiao Jingxi with a smile in his eyes. "Not sitting."

Xiao Jingxi hadn't expected Shen Yeqing to openly defy him on the show either, and was dumbfounded for a moment.

Then he watched as Xie Mi lifted a leg, stepped right over Shen Yeqing's long legs, walked straight to Xu Shuangrong's side, and plopped down.

This time, not only Xiao Jingxi, but even Xu Shuangrong was somewhat caught off guard.

She opened her mouth as if to speak, but in the end didn't say anything.

"Is Teacher Xie looking down on me?" Shen Yeqing in the front seat turned his head, that pretty face actually giving off a sense of a little puppy acting pitiful and wagging its tail.

[Holy crap, holy crap, it's a Love Triangle right at the start. I love it to death]

[So Mr. Shen has a puppy attribute, ahhhhh]

[If Old Shen had a tail, it would definitely be wagging wildly by now]

"Humph." Xie Mi didn't answer, instead rolling her eyes heavily.

She hadn't forgotten the day she treated Shen Yeqing to Shaxian Delicacies, only for Shen Yeqing to stubbornly rack up over a hundred yuan on her.

She had already picked the cheapest Shaxian Delicacies, how could he possibly run up a bill over a hundred?!

A hundred could set up eight banquet tables at Shaxian Delicacies!!

Just for this matter, she was going to stay angry for two days.

"Welcome, everyone, to beautiful South Sea City! Next, we'll spend three days and two nights traveling in this beautiful coastal city!"

Director Niu's little lavalier mic was even painted pink, making it clear he had a very strong obsession with pink bubbles.

"Today's itinerary is beach camping. So before arriving at the beach, we will play our first game on the bus-"

"Guardian Angel!"

The guardian angel game, a heartwarming game that could warm up the relationships of unfamiliar people in the shortest amount of time.

Director Niu smiled with confidence.

He refused to believe that even such a warm game could be ruined by Xie Mi.
