Overseas tutors

The offline handshake event of "Super Idol" lasted from the bright and sunny afternoon until dark.

Yi Jingchen's team was the longest. The other eight trainees finished one after another, and there were several groups behind his team.

The S-series auditions hold offline handshake events almost every year.

Veteran fans and trainees familiar with talent shows know that whether or not a contestant can participate in the handshake session and the length of the handshake queue can directly reflect the popularity of the contestants.

In previous years, there were always some celebrities and fans who were too concerned about their reputation and tried every possible way to delay time so that their queue would end later.

This year, the production team has increased the number of places for the TOP team, and there are staff members who strictly enforce the time limit, so there is basically no room for tampering.

Fortunately, the trainees who participated in the event did not have any intention of deliberately competing with each other.

After finishing their own queue, they will chat and sing with everyone to liven up the atmosphere and prevent the guests sitting below from getting bored.

Yi Jingchen did not deliberately speed up or lower his spirits just because the end was near.

Even when it came to the last batch, he still maintained the same attitude as when he met the first fan, and gave a personally made amulet to each Chen family sister or cat fan who came before him.

Finally, the man at the end of the line walked up to Yi Jingchen.

The staff reminded, "He is the second-highest ranked brother on your lucky bag list."

"Huh?!" Yi Jingchen widened his eyes in surprise.

[Number two on the list?]

[He must have some plans for me!!!]

Although Yi Jingchen did not witness the voting in person, he knew how outrageous his position on the lucky bag list was.

In that case, anyone who can make it to the TOP100 must be a die-hard fan, let alone the second one.

Yi Jingchen looked at his face carefully, confirming that he had never seen this man offline before.

The man exudes a 'realistic' aura, and doesn't seem like one of those i-attribute cat fans who hang out in the 2D otaku circle and secretly indulge in perverted behavior behind the screen.

Could it be a new fan who spends a lot of money?

Yi Jingchen had this thought, but quickly rejected it.

The other person's eyes were calm and his tone was indifferent, completely different from the new fans in the 'honeymoon period'.

When the two looked at each other, the man's eyes were calm and composed, and it was hard to tell whether he was a fan or not.

Even if Yi Jingchen doubted the other party's fan status, after all, he had spent money to get second place on the lucky bag list and took the trouble to come to the handshake meeting, and he did not lose any financial resources and energy.

Yi Jingchen did not neglect at all. He treated the other party with the attitude of treating a fan and took out the protective bag and handed it to the other party.

"Hello, I'm giving you a talisman. I wish you peace and happiness."

The man stared at the sachet for a while before taking it and saying something ambiguous, "Thank you. I'll give it to her."

"Huh?" Yi Jingchen was even more confused.

'who is she?

Could it be that this man is participating on behalf of someone else?

The handshake meeting is scheduled for the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, which is not yet the time to resume work and school.

Could it be that the person he was replacing was abroad and couldn't come back?

The more Yi Jingchen thought about it, the more he became obsessed with it. He almost wanted to pull Gua Gua out and question himself why he couldn't hear the voices of ordinary people.

That way, he could guess who the man came for.

Guagua: "Host, host, at this moment, don't you think I'm useless?"

"Hate it!" Yi Jingchen dropped a word, making Guagua extremely withdrawn.

The man just followed the procedure and spun the random wheel.

I was lucky enough to get two TO visas and one hidden benefit.

Ever since the first hidden benefit of the domestic silver gradient was transferred out, several fans have switched to that option one after another.

Yi Jingchen told them in advance that the wishes of "being happy every day" and "debuting in the center position" had already been made by others, so he asked them to make some wishes for themselves.

People who came to him chattered and left many wishes.

Some people hope that Maodian will participate in offline comic exhibitions, some people invite Yi Jingchen to visit their hometown after his debut, some people want to see Yi Jingchen cosplay a designated character, and some people require that the final solo must be in women's clothing, etc.

Yi Jingchen remembered their wishes one by one and agreed to them.

Now, Yi Jingchen gave the last wish card, curious about what the man would write.

The man received the wishing card, but instead of making a wish immediately, he asked for a signature first.

He handed over two cards, one was a physical hidden card exchanged for the "Super Idol" lucky bag list, and the other was a photo he printed himself.

During the Chinese New Year, due to the suspension of logistics, Xiaoka peripherals could not be delivered to everyone in time.

"Super Idol" offers two solutions: either redeem the lucky bag card on the spot, or print out photos, postcards, etc., and then sign them after the program team reviews them and they meet the requirements.

Many people in the front line printed out their cosplay photos of Cat Palace and secretly asked Yi Jingchen to draw a cat paw for them.

However, the photo the man handed over was a landscape photo without any people in it.

The pixels of the landscape photos are not high, probably they were taken several years ago.

Yi Jingchen first picked up the small card he was familiar with, and the man only asked him to sign his name.

Next, he changed to a landscape photo. Yi Jingchen observed it again and felt that the scenery was like something he had seen in a dream.

"What's this signature? Is it a signature?"

Man: "Please sign this one for me, and write your name on it..."

"Yi Huizhen."

He whispered the name.

Yi Jingchen picked up the pen and held it in the air. When he heard the name, the tip of the pen trembled and paused for a long time without falling.

[Yi Huizhen…]

[Grandma?]

Before he was nine years old, Yi Jingchen lived in a strict family with strict rules.

The second elder of the Yan family was a typical feudal patriarch, with an old-fashioned style, treating the ancestral home as a palace. Every time Yi Jingchen went to the ancestral home, he would kowtow three times and nine times and kneel down.

As far as he could remember, he had never called the old woman of the Yan family "Grandma" because she didn't like the name and asked him to change it to "Grandmother".

Later, Yi Jingchen left the Yan family and was raised by his mother's mother Yi Huizhen. He changed her surname and naturally called her grandma.

After many years, Yi Jingchen was stunned for a moment when he heard the name again.

He originally thought they had the same name, but when he saw the scenery in the photo, he realized it belatedly.

Blue sky, white clouds, red house...

A scene like a fairy tale.

This was the story his grandmother told him before going to bed about the place where she grew up.

Yi Jingchen put down his pen and looked at the man in front of him.

"Excuse me, who are you to my grandmother?"

"I'm her sister's grandson, so I'm your equal," the man replied. "The main reason I'm meeting you this time is to fulfill my great-aunt's last wish."

As he said this, he asked for a pen and lowered his head to write on the wish card.

Yi Jingchen looked at him quietly, his thoughts gradually returning to the past...

My grandmother told me that she came from a wealthy family and later married into a wealthy family. She was considered a woman with a "lucky life" by others.

When she was young, she was well educated and a typical lady from a noble family.

Unfortunately, she was forced by her father to marry a controlling husband. From then on, she became a nightingale trapped in a cage, and could only stay at home to take care of her husband and children, becoming the so-called "good wife and mother".

Occasionally, she wanted to go back to her parents' home, but her husband ruthlessly refused.

When Yi Jingchen was nine years old, he was kicked out of the Yan family, and no relatives on his father's side were willing to take over.

In the same year, Grandma Yi Huizhen was diagnosed with a brain tumor.

She gave up surgery, and the doctor said she could only live for a year at most.

The countdown of her life was ticking, but it made her feel extremely relaxed.

Yi Huizhen was finally able to move out of her cage-like home on the pretext of a "terminal illness" and took the homeless Yi Jingchen with her.

For the next few months, the two lived in the house in the suburbs.

Grandma would bake him cookies, make delicious cakes and tell him bedtime stories.

It was not until then that Yi Jingchen realized that parents can like their children.

Yi Jingchen firmly believed that his grandmother would love him for a long, long time.

Before my tenth birthday, my grandmother fainted without any warning.

She knew that she didn't have much time left, and she didn't want little Yi Jingchen to see her completely ravaged by illness. So she asked relatives from her mother's family to take her away, and entrusted Yi Jingchen to the care of a nanny.

Before leaving, grandma gently stroked Yi Jingchen's hair.

"Xiaochen, I'm sorry, but grandma can only accompany you up to this point."

"Don't worry about me too much, and don't be too obsessed with this time."

"Your tragedy is all caused by my tragedy. If I had walked out bravely, there would be no mother, and there would be no you."

"Please see the world for me. There will definitely be many people who love you in the future."

Yi Jingchen withdrew his thoughts and looked at the photo in front of him again.

The man pushed the wish card over and whispered to Yi Jingchen, "Before our great aunt died, she asked us to help her see how you look like when you grow up."

As he spoke, he looked up at Yi Jingchen, then turned back to look at the many people behind him who came for him.

"She must be very pleased to know that you are liked by many people."

"Hmm." Yi Jingchen sniffed, picked up the pen and wrote 'TO Yi Huizhen', then solemnly signed his name.

He turned the photo over and wrote two words neatly:

'Another spring has arrived, and I am doing well.'

"I don't worry about you that much, and you don't have to worry about me anymore."

"Thank you. Please bring it to grandma for me."

Yi Jingchen handed him the photo.

——Yi Jingchen is educated and a staunch atheist.

However, he was in awe of the so-called 'souls'.

Because he is willing to believe that reincarnation really exists in the world.

It can allow those unfortunate people to have a free afterlife.

"Okay." The man put away the photo, stood up and said to him, "I won't come to you again until you want to see us."

'We' refers to Yi Jingchen's maternal relatives.

Yi Jingchen was abandoned by his mother as soon as he was born.

In the past twenty years, he has had no contact with any relatives on his mother's side except his grandmother.

"good."

Yi Jingchen responded, putting away all his vulnerability.

[I can’t be emo anymore. I promised everyone that I would be happy every day!]

The program team did not record the audio of the 1v1 handshake process.

The audience at the scene and in the live broadcast room could only see Yi Jingchen facing a man, but had no idea what they talked about.

After the man left, Yi Jingchen came to the long table to take his leave, his eyes visibly red.

【Why is stupid Xiaochen crying? 】

[Maybe like Shu Lang, he’s not used to wearing colored contact lenses]

Shu Lang was wearing it for the first time, so he wasn't used to it. Yi Jingchen had worn it many times before, so he put it on in just three seconds.

【Is it because it’s about to end and you can’t bear to let it go? 】

[It's just a handshake meeting, what's there to be reluctant about? We'll have a chance to meet again next time.]

[I feel like it should be the eldest brother who signed last, and said something to Chenchen]

[+1, that big brother at the end doesn't look like a Chen family fan, nor does he look like a cat fan. It's so incongruous to show up at the handshake meeting.]

What could possibly make Chenchen cry? Is the anime world about to be destroyed?

Yi Jingchen deserves to be called a "natural idol" and has excellent adaptability.

At the curtain call, he once again served as a spokesperson, thanking all the supporters who had come from afar and those who had stayed in front of the screen for their care along the way, and bowed with everyone.

From beginning to end, the performance was perfect, with no signs of abnormality.

But on the return bus, Yi Jingchen huddled in a corner, closed his eyes and said nothing.

Seeing him like this, the trainees guessed that Yi Jingchen might be worried and did not go up to disturb him.

The little friend was a little curious about what was worrying the silly silver tabby so much.

Just when everyone was worried, they heard Yi Jingchen's mumbling.

He hugged the pillow in the car, rubbed it twice in a daze, and made a smacking sound.

[All right. ]

The extremely worried friends came to a common conclusion.

[This stupid cat was just sleeping.]

After a good sleep in the car, Yi Jingchen returned to the dormitory, removed his makeup, changed back into his training clothes, then sat cross-legged in front of the suitcase and took out his wallet.

There is a photo in the wallet compartment, showing a tall young boy catching butterflies in the yard with a homemade insect net.

A kind-faced old man sat under the eaves at the back, holding a half-knitted woolen hat in his hand, looking at him with loving eyes.

Yi Jingchen looked at the yellowed photo and murmured softly:

"Grandma, I really took good care of myself."

"Don't worry about me all the time!"

He put the photo back and pocketed his wallet.

When he looked up, he found Mu Gan leaning against the door, staring at him quietly.

"Nana, is there something wrong?" Yi Jingchen stood up and asked.

Mu Gan poked the air outside twice with his thumb, signaling him to go out.

"The instructor for the third phase has arrived, and the staff asked us to go to a meeting."

"So fast?" Yi Jingchen couldn't help but wonder.

[I just heard yesterday that because Teacher Gu couldn't buy a direct flight back home, he had to take the green train and then transfer to the high-speed train, and he can only return to the recording base tomorrow.]

[Where does the new mentor live? I was surprised to find that I was able to buy a ticket so easily during the Spring Festival travel rush.]

[Could he be a pilot?]

Not only Yi Jingchen found it strange, but other trainees also found it incredible when they heard that a new mentor had arrived at the recording base.

You know, if you dare to accept the notice of being a flying mentor on "Super Idol" at this juncture, you must at least be self-disciplined and abide by the law. Your family tree must be checked for three generations and there must be no problems. This is even stricter than the political review.

Moreover, "Super Idol" invited the talented Yan Yu in the first stage and the former top star He Yidong in the second stage.

The flight instructor of the third stage must be a big shot with a high status.

Looking at the entertainment industry, it is impossible to find an artist who can pass the hellish background check and is qualified to become a mentor.

"Super Idol" sent out dozens of invitation notices, but no one dared to accept them.

In desperation, they had to expand their target to overseas markets.

Fortunately, "Super Idol" does not have an overseas broadcasting platform, and the reputation of a certain "human collapse appraiser" has not expanded to the international market.

Due to various reasons, it is difficult for domestic idols to enter the overseas market.

Most of the Chinese idols who are currently famous have green cards.

The overseas entertainment industry doesn’t even understand domestic idols, let alone domestic trainees?

"Super Idol" offered a high price and really found an internationally popular idol with unknown background to take up the notice.

Xaviera, an internationally famous white female idol.

She has never appeared in domestic variety shows or performances, but still has many fans and is affectionately called "Vivia" by everyone.

The marketing account just announced that Xaviera will take on the notice of "Super Idol". Fans expressed their anger and said with certainty that "Xaviera would never take on such a low-level variety show" and "Hype, it's definitely hype"!

Not long after, Vivia landed at the international airport by flight and got into the car sent by the "Super Idol" production team. The air seemed to be filled with crisp "pa, pa, pa" sounds!

Don't make the sound of slapping someone in the face too loud.

While Yi Jingchen was at the recording base, he was actually always thinking about his graduation thesis at University A.

When he heard that an international superstar was coming, his eyes lit up and he ran excitedly to the auditorium to check out the "fresh material".

As soon as I entered the auditorium, I saw a woman with golden brown hair, skin whiter than snow, and who looked to be in her twenties, communicating with the staff.

White people generally age faster than Asians, but Xaviera is a famous "ageless girl".

Even after fifteen years of debut, she still has the appearance of a girlish idol.

At this moment, the 'girl idol' frowned, obviously a little angry, and said something to the staff in not very fluent English.

The staff also responded in English, gesturing as he spoke, sweating profusely.

Yi Jingchen went over curiously and listened to the two of them talking at cross purposes, laughing so hard that his stomach hurt.

Before participating in the draft, Yi Jingchen conducted several overseas interviews and summed up a truth:

Two people who speak fluent English, it was easy to communicate.

Two people who are not good at English can communicate easily through gestures.

But when two people with average English skills get together, the difficulty of communication is absolutely hellish.

They can describe common everyday items, such as power banks, as 'portable babies that interact with energy through wired connections'.

It just so happened that Xaviera and the staff member in charge of communication were two people with average English proficiency and a vocabulary that was both abundant and scarce.

Yi Jingchen listened to their irrelevant chatter for a long time and muttered in surprise:

[Wow~]

[It turns out that when foreigners are anxious, they often speak their native language.]

Fortunately, Yi Jingchen had planned to be an international journalist and took the time to learn several languages, so he could understand Xaviera's native language.

He poked the staff lady and told her, "The new instructor said that the trainee information card you gave her was in English and she couldn't understand it."

"H-this." The staff lady patted her chest and muttered in fear, "She kept waving the data card at me. I thought she wanted to hit me with it."

"What?" Although Xaviera didn't understand, she felt like she was being scolded.

Yi Jingchen switched to her native language and told the other party fluently, "This is the Chinese language area, and Japanese communication is not supported."

Xaviera seemed to realize that Yi Jingchen could understand what she said and asked him if he was the translator hired by the program team.

Yi Jingchen turned his head and told the staff, "The new instructor needs to find a translator."

"Well... we didn't expect Weiweiya to come so early. The translator we hired for her is still stuck at the Spring Festival travel rush." ​​The staff member grabbed Yi Jingchen's arm as if grasping a lifeline. "Since you can understand, please translate for him."

"Me."

Yi Jingchen was a little confused.

[The production team didn't pay me for my translation.]

He changed his mind and thought that translating for his new mentor was a good opportunity to collect materials.

So the beautiful cat's eyes turned twice and she agreed smoothly.

Yi Jingchen brought a small stool over and sat next to Xaviera.

She finally met someone who could understand 'human language' and breathed a sigh of relief, mumbling to herself a bit.

"Oh, I swear, this is the first time I've attended such a terrible announcement. There wasn't even a simultaneous interpreter at the recording site. I've always heard that you're a country of etiquette. Is this how you treat guests?"

Yi Jingchen couldn't explain to a foreigner the horror of the "Spring Festival Travel Rush". After all, it was difficult for foreigners to understand what it was like to be unable to buy tickets due to the large crowds.

"That was the program team's negligence. We will correct it later." Yi Jingchen directly put the blame on the program team.

Xaviera's complaints were responded to, and she thought she could get along well with Yi Jingchen, so she simply let out all her pent-up emotions.

"The attitude of your show is very average. The information and photos they just gave me also look very average. If I had to choose from these people, I would throw them all in the trash. It's impossible for people of color to become excellent idols, let alone occupy the international market."

Hearing her words, whether intentional or unintentional, Yi Jingchen's smile faded for a second, and he kindly reminded her, "Please put away your racial prejudice."

Xaviera seemed to realize that she had spoken out of turn. She choked for a few seconds and stared at Yi Jingchen to make amends. "I was a little angry just now. I was just joking. Actually, you look pretty good, an oriental doll."

"That joke isn't funny, and I don't think you're complimenting me." Yi Jingchen's smile faded completely, emitting a sense of oppression that couldn't be ignored. "From a genetic perspective, white people are no more stable or noble than people of color. Until you show due respect, I will discriminate against you."

"OK." Xaviera was in the wrong first, and was defeated by him. She formally apologized to this country and the yellow race.

They used foreign languages ​​throughout the broadcast and there were no subtitles in the live broadcast room.

The audience could only hear the chatter and see that the stupid silver gradient suddenly stopped smiling.

[Urgent! Where is my royal translator?]

Yi Jingchen is indeed a quasi-international journalist; his speaking skills are simply amazing. If it weren't for his clear pronunciation, I, a graduate of a specialized language program, wouldn't be able to understand him.

[There is a cut with translation on Weibo, you can go check it out]

[6 Ah, Yi Jingchen directly attacks the international superstar face to face]

[He even dares to confront politicians who can interfere in military affairs. What do you think?]

What the Melon God said is true. Some people just kneel down for too long. What's wrong with people of color? Skin color is just due to different geographical distribution. If you ask me, the yellow race is distributed in the most habitable areas and has the best genes.

Viviya's fans said that the little girl had no ill intentions and was simply anxious because she was in a new language environment and didn't have a translator. She had previously expressed on social media that she loved our country and recognized its sovereignty.

[I think it's understandable. After all, they are foreign artists. If there are no major issues, it won't be considered a collapse. It's already difficult for "Super Idol" to recruit mentors.]

Considering that Xaviera apologized promptly and that it was not easy for the program crew to hire a mentor, no one pursued her gaffe further.

The other trainees arrived one after another, and when they saw Xaviera in person, they all showed expressions of surprise and even excitement.

Unfortunately, there was a language barrier, and Vivia could only understand "Ahhh".

After everyone was seated, the production team began playing the urgently subtitled footage of the second performance of "Super Idol," allowing Xaviera to get a brief introduction to each trainee.

Before watching the full film, Xaviera still had a prejudice in her heart: she thought that the idols from this country T had never appeared on the international stage and must not be good enough.

With the attitude that she should take some responsibility since she had accepted the notice, Xaviera watched the performance carefully.

Yi Jingchen sat next to her and gave her a brief introduction to the background and the trainees who appeared.

As she watched, her emotions and anticipation grew, and she became completely immersed in it.

"Wow! That performance was so exciting! There were so many things I loved!"

Xaviera pointed at someone in the center of the screen and asked Yi Jingchen for the third time, "Oriental Doll, is this you?"

"That man's name is Tian Xitu, the one behind you." Yi Jingchen brought Tian Xitu out and had a more real understanding of the extent of foreigners' face blindness.

[Do I look alike to Tian Xitu?]

[A cat and a rabbit are different species!]

Seeing that she wanted to make everyone on the screen push their heads to become her god, Li Jibai couldn't bear it any longer and told Xaviera with the few words he had:

"He's on stage nine."

"Oh, the ninth one." Xaviera pointed to another trainee on the screen and asked Li Jibai, "Is that you?"

From the corner, a faint voice came, "That was me. I'm so sorry."

"Hahahaha!" Yi Jingchen lowered his head and laughed secretly.

[You had to stand up, now it’s okay.]

[Everyone she meets from now on will be like you~]

Li Jibai: ...

Senior, is this the time to play with memes?

Throughout the second half of the second public performance, Xaviera seemed to only be able to see two people, either Yi Jingchen or Li Jibai.

The trainees around him held back their laughter and dared not make a sound, for fear that they would become the third ordinary face of Weixuan.

At first, the younger brother and the audience faced a new mentor who did not speak the language. Even though they knew the program team had their own difficulties, they still had some complaints.

What can a new tutor teach them if they can’t even do basic communication?

Does it play a styling role?

Gradually, as the second public performances passed one by one, Xaviera has gotten into the state and probably adapted to the domestic idol stage.

Although she did not understand most of the lyrics and could only roughly understand the meaning through translation and Yi Jingchen's introduction, it did not hinder her ability to perceive the song and dance.

In almost every stage, she can give some opinions and feelings from the perspective of a "top active idol".

Her approach to observing the stage is different from He Yidong's.

He Yidong is familiar with the draft and the domestic market and will tell them how to win the competition.

Xaviera's advice tells them more about how to break through, how to stand out in a multi-person stage, and how to break through the inherent pattern and step onto the biggest stage.

"Super Idol" has reached the third public performance stage, and most of the trainees can adapt to the audition stage.

Inviting Xaviera at this critical juncture is obviously a preparation for conquering the largest market after the draft.

Yi Jingchen translated Xaviera's point of view and told it to the corresponding trainees, and saw the fighting spirit in everyone's eyes.

Next, with the help of Xaviera's popularity, "Super Idol" may gain overseas attention and break the existing pattern of "domestic idols have no international market".

What reason do they have not to fight?

Finally, the last stage was shown on the screen.

Xaviera counted to nine and said firmly, "Now it's your turn."

Yi Jingchen replied, "Yes."

"Which one is you?" Xaviera looked at the seven trainees preparing to go on stage, and her face blindness struck again.

Yi Jingchen didn't point it out to her, and motioned Vivian to look at it herself.

"Oh no, I really can't tell." Vivian was already face-blind to foreigners, and Yi Jingchen was wearing stage makeup.

His face is very plastic, and there is a big difference between his bare face and his face with makeup. Even cat fans may not recognize him.

Vivian stared at him for a long time, until Yi Jingchen started singing, she confirmed, "This!"

"Is my voice so obvious?"

"It's not your voice. You have a unique aura that makes people want to look at you." Xaviera stared at the person on the screen, then glanced at Yi Jingchen sitting next to her. "It's really hard to recognize you by your face."

Yi Jingchen smiled and said nothing.

Next, the original V/D group members appeared one after another, and the translated lyrics appeared on the screen.

Vivian still didn't understand, but she was drawn into their singing and felt what they wanted to convey.

"I have to admit, it's an excellent performance. You, and each of you, have surpassed my expectations." At this point, Xaviera changed the subject, "However, you still have a long way to go to become idols who lead the era."

"Leading the times..."

Someone beeped quietly.

"That dream is too grand, are we worthy of it?"

They are already exhausted from fighting for the debut position.

[Leading the Times!]

Everyone beeped excitedly when they heard the inappropriate sound.

[Sounds so cheesy, I like it!]

In a blink of an eye, everyone's eyes turned to Yi Jingchen.

This cat's middle school syndrome is truly hopeless.

.

After the meeting, the production team arranged for Xaviera to return to the hotel to rest.

Considering that Xaviera had just arrived and was unfamiliar with the place, and the translator they hired was stuck in the Spring Festival travel rush, they simply asked Yi Jingchen to take her to the hotel and hired two photographers to follow her throughout the trip.

The hotel where Xaviera stayed was located near the recording base.

The recording base is located in a remote area, with no scenic spots or downtown areas around it. There are only a few seasonal hotels prepared for fans and related personnel.

In order to control costs, the owner of a nearby restaurant did not rent a shop. Instead, he pushed a cart in the cold wind and set up a stall on the roadside.

As soon as Yi Jingchen and Xaviera walked out of the recording base, they smelled the aroma of roadside stalls brought by the night breeze.

Although this was Xaviera's first time in this country, she already knew that Chinese food and snacks were very famous, and she couldn't wait to try them.

Yi Jingchen was busy with the handshake meeting during the day and had to serve as an interpreter for his mentor at night. He was already hungry, so he went to a roadside stall with Xaviera to eat.

The two of them seemed to have never eaten in their lives. The table was filled with fried skewers, barbecue, and spicy hot pot. Xaviera even plucked up the courage to order a small portion of stinky tofu, and took a bite of it with the mentality of Shennong tasting hundreds of herbs.

"Yummy! These are delicious. I've never eaten anything this smelly before."

Yi Jingchen asked while gnawing on a chicken foot, "Haven't you ever eaten canned herring?"

"They're the only ones who like canned herrings. We can't stand it."

Yi Jingchen continued the interview, "Have you ever tried Stargazing Pie?"

"What is that?"

"An urban legend from the British Empire."

[Chenchen, why is your mind full of dark cuisine? ]

[Is the fish head looking up at the starry sky the one who died with his eyes wide open? ]

[Both dishes are fish dishes. I bet a cat strip that Yi Jingchen has definitely eaten them! Cats love fish!]

Who said that? My silver tabby smelled canned herring and thought my manure pit had exploded, so he tried desperately to bury it.

The two of them sat together, happily discussing "food", and almost became good friends across international boundaries.

At this moment, two men with aggressive looks came from a distance.

When Xaviera saw them, her smile instantly faded and she frowned slightly, seeming unhappy.

She didn't say anything and urged Yi Jingchen to eat quickly.

Before they finished eating, two men had already arrived and scolded Xaviera in their native language for not returning to the hotel.

Xaviera: "I'm hungry. I need to eat."

"No matter how hungry you are, you can't eat out. The team has hired a nutritionist for you, and you must follow the diet they provide to stay in shape." The man, who was probably his agent, glanced at the food on the table with disdain. "You consume so much oil and fat, you must lose weight for the next two weeks."

Yi Jingchen held the roasted chicken feet in his mouth and secretly complained:

[Eating at a night market can help you lose weight in half a month?]

[You are murdering me!]

Xaviera's team members heard the beeping sound and looked around.

Because I couldn't understand what it was and couldn't find the source of the sound, I thought it was a wild cat from somewhere.

Xaviera was still arguing, saying that Yi Jingchen specially sent her back and she should treat him to a meal.

The work team looked at Yi Jingchen with disdain, "I warned you not to get too close to the people here, they are all people of color."

“……?”

Yi Jingchen seemed to understand why Xaviera had blurted out the theory of "people of color" before.

What's wrong with people of color?

[Can we dye them together? Dye them into a calico cat?]

The audience who were watching the live broadcast late at night were originally furious because of the "color discrimination theory".

And because of Yi Jingchen's "dyeing it into three flowers", she completely lost her temper.

——You are a stupid silver tabby cat, don’t mess with the beauty in the cat world!!!

Xaviera was still protesting, but the team acted as if it was all for your own good, condescendingly criticizing her:

"We didn't support you taking on this cheap show in the first place. Coming to a developing country with such a low per capita GDP will only lower your value."

"Tsk." Yi Jingchen smacked his lips softly, feeling that it was indeed a method of spiritual victory.

They never face up to our country's development speed and overall ranking, and only use per capita GDP to drag it down.

"That's enough, I think this place is great!" Before today, Xaviera would have accepted the theories they instilled in her by osmosis.

However, after seeing it with her own eyes, she felt that this country was not dangerous, dirty or disorderly.

She tried to change the work team's perspective and introduced Yi Jingchen to them, "This is the Oriental Doll I met today, he..."

Xaviera was just about to tell them that Yi Jingchen was very smart and fluent in multiple languages.

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted impatiently.

"What Oriental doll? It's just a country dog."

Yi Jingchen: ...

[The species has changed!]

The other party thought Yi Jingchen didn't understand, and made a series of highly insulting remarks, and finally complained:

"If you hadn't accepted this variety show, you could have attended the dinner hosted by Mrs. Xiao today. We worked so hard to get the tickets, so you can get in touch with those top celebrities."

Xaviera: "What's the point of getting in touch with people? I heard that Madam Xiao only cares about business. You can't get benefits by getting in touch with people."

"She's surrounded by many celebrities. If you can meet her at the airport..."

Yi Jingchen wiped his mouth and asked weakly, "Excuse me, is the Madam Xiao you are talking about the Chinese entrepreneur Xiao E?"

The agent suddenly understood what he said and was very surprised. He asked in surprise, "Have you also heard of Madam Xiao's name?"

Yi Jingchen pointed at himself, fumbled to take out his wallet, pulled out a remittance slip that had been sent two days ago, and pointed to the name of the remitter.

"She is the biological mother of the rural dog you mentioned."

After saying that, Yi Jingchen picked up another piece of grilled chicken wing and chewed it without any manners.

Xaviera's team:

God, where do I begin to repent?
