[I just thought " What Should We Do Today??" was the new variety show my wife was going to participate in, and I was about to search for the program's format when I suddenly remembered that it's Raising House!]
[I've used so many nicknames that I've forgotten the show's real name. [laughing and crying emoji]]
[Excuse my bluntness, but "Raising House" sounds much better. [winking emoji]]
[But, is promoting the " Raising House " concept through " Sing for You " really effective?]
[Haha, it's not entirely useless, is it? This show does have a loyal audience.]
After Chi Li finished speaking, he gestured for the audience to be quiet, handing over the right to speak to Su Yuan.
Su Yuan took half a step forward and returned to her original position.
"As viewers familiar with me know, I've been very busy lately," Su Yuan said confidently on stage. "My good news is that after today, I'll be taking a break. Even better news is... my break will be right here on the show ' What Should We Do Today??'"
After saying that, he turned to look at Chi Li. "Want to ride back with me later?"
Amidst the loud whispers from the audience, Chi Li turned her head and smiled. "Welcome."
"Huh?? Is Su Yuan coming?"
The group of people sitting in front of the TV looked at each other, completely unaware that Su Yuan was coming to the Raising House.
"Shouldn't we hurry up and make some arrangements for a welcoming ceremony?" Wei Xuan quickly looked at Xie Weishui.
In the past, Xie Weishui had always made the decisions in these kinds of matters.
"No need." Shen Xunye, who usually didn't care about such things, frowned, his displeasure written all over his face. "He has already given us a surprise, so he probably doesn't need us to give him anything more."
"That's true." Jiang Lele nodded in agreement. "It's already so late; a hastily arranged welcoming ceremony definitely won't be of high quality..."
Fang Jin glanced at Shen Xunye's expression and also voiced her opposition. "Let's not bother with all this so late, especially since we're one person short. The ceremony won't be complete without one."
"... Okay, then let's get to know each other better tomorrow."
After stepping down, Chi Li sent a message to Li Ming, asking what had happened to Su Yuan.
Li Ming had previously shown him the proposed list of rental members, and Su Yuan's name was clearly not on it.
Even if they are added later, the invitation priority shouldn't be this high.
A few minutes later, Li Ming replied: The guest we had arranged to meet suddenly became unavailable and we would have to postpone it for at least three days. We were originally planning to wait.
Li Ming: Su Yuan somehow found out that she was willing to pay to fill out the forms for these three days.
Chi Li: "..."
He really underestimated Su Yuan's level of nerves. He paid to fill out the paperwork.
With so many eyes and live cameras in the Raising House, Su Yuan is definitely not going to gain any advantage.
So what was his purpose in insisting on going?
Given the current popularity of Raising House," there are tons of people lining up to appear on the show. If this guest isn't available, they should just move on to the next one.
The person who can make the production team willingly wait three days...
Chi Li held her phone and replied to Li Ming's message: "Is that guest who's supposed to arrive in three days Jiang Yue?"
There are many people who can make the production team wait three days, but among them, there is probably only one who can be associated with Su Yuan.
Li Ming: [Surprised] How did you know?
Li Ming: His movie was supposed to wrap up yesterday, but the director added a few more scenes for him at the last minute, so it's expected to take another three days to finish filming.
Li Ming: Don't tell anyone else yet.
Just as I expected.
Chi Li replied with a "1" to Li Ming, then put her phone back in her pocket.
Given Su Yuan's level of mental fortitude, this person definitely wouldn't leave after only three days.
Inviting a god is easy, but sending him away is difficult.
Don't the people making the decisions know that free things are often the most expensive?
" Chi Li." Su Yuan's voice rang in his ear, gentle yet tinged with an eeriness. "Shall we go home together?"
Chi Li looked over expressionlessly.
"Don't be so defensive towards me." Su Yuan feigned a hurt expression. "I didn't intend to do anything to you."
After saying that, he hummed a couple of lines of a song to himself, looking quite pleased with himself.
Chi Li pressed her hand to her chest, suppressing the urge to vomit.
He believed Su Yuan wouldn't do anything to him now, but his body language betrayed his disgust for the man.
His level of disgust was even deeper than Xie Weishui's, and on par with Zhou Yang's...
Why is that?
It's probably because... he really dislikes this condescending tone, and being inexplicably dragged into so-called love and hate that has nothing to do with him.
"Is that so? Maybe I'll do something to you?" Chi Li returned his smile, but the smile was laced with undisguised sarcasm. "Although I'm the kind of person who doesn't bother others unless they bother me... well, except for scoundrels."
"You—" Su Yuan's cheerful mood instantly plummeted. He looked at the staff member not far away and lowered his voice. "Are you so sure that I haven't arranged for someone to secretly film you?"
Chi Li pointed to the surveillance camera installed in the corner. "If we forgot to arrange it, we can ask the production team for the footage."
Su Yuan: "You dare say such a thing when there are surveillance cameras?"
Chi Li stepped forward, her gaze calm, with a condescending, almost indifferent scrutiny. It was as if the other person was not a person, but an object stained and in need of cleaning.
"You can search for the last person I called a 'bitch' on camera, and see what happened to them."
Su Yuan's face stiffened slightly, almost unnaturally.
He hadn't expected Chi Li to be so arrogant.
But under everyone's watchful eyes, he couldn't show weakness, so he forced a wide smile. "Do you think I'm the same kind of person as that idiot Zhou Yang?"
Because of Jiang Yue's sudden video call, he now knows Chi Li even better than some of the newer fans.
Zhou Yang fell for Chi Li's tricks partly because of his poor character, but more importantly, he was a complete novice who didn't understand the rules of camera work.
But he was different. Except for occasionally losing control over Jiang Yue's affairs, he was a standard, almost perfect idol the rest of the time.
"Of course they're not the same people," Chi Li said, his annoyance undisguised, "But the outcome won't be much different."
His gaze left Su Yuan's face, and very slowly, with a deliberate contempt, he pulled up a very faint, cold smile.
"I advise you not to do that." Although he wasn't afraid of Chi Li's boastful words, he also didn't really want to cause any conflict with anyone before Jiang Yue. "We have no grudges against each other, do we?"
"I may or may not do it," Chi Li said calmly. "I just... want to see you wary of me, unable to sleep."
After saying this, he walked past the staff members who were frozen in place, their faces pale and ashen, and who were busy but listening intently, and headed towards the door.
