The 6th melon

"Leisure Life" was suspended on the second day after its premiere, but the suspension did not affect the broadcast effect. Instead, it made the variety show's broadcast volume continue to rise.

Jiang Mingkai was thoroughly exposed by netizens. Although he admitted Jiang Tong's identity and his past relationship with Jiang Yun, which caused him to lose some female fans, it still increased his popularity. Many netizens felt that Jiang Mingkai was responsible and had a better impression of him.

The images of Lin Cha, Liu Mingqian and Chen Xianzhi eating melons outside the nanny car were also made into a melon-eating emoticon package by netizens, which went viral.

However, the same type of variety show "Our Rural Life" performed extremely poorly during the same period.

"Pastoral" is a variety show funded by the Lin Group and planned by Lin Churou. Lin Churou launched "Pastoral" a week before "Leisure" aired in an attempt to seize market share and snag Lu Yanyan. She wanted to prove to the Lin family that, compared to Lin Cha, she was the true daughter of the Lin family and could earn money for them.

Originally, Lin Churou was going to participate in "Tian Yuan" in person, and the investment amount of "Tian Yuan" was also larger. The industry was generally optimistic about "Tian Yuan", but unexpectedly it was intercepted by "Xian Leisure".

The number of views can be considered, but the business cannot.

"Pastoral" aired three GGs before its premiere, but has yet to see significant growth. However, "Leisure" released two GGs, one of which was a Wujiang drone, and they've already sold out. Another kitchen seasoning, which initially had little demand, saw a surge in sales thanks to Lincha's delicious cooking and Jiang Mingkai's "Smells so good! Another bowl!" emoji.

In the variety show room, Lin Churou looked at the business comparison between "Pastoral" and "Leisure" and was so angry that her face turned green.

Catching an adulterer on live broadcast was an accidental incident. It was fine if Jiang Mingkai was exposed, but what was the matter with Lin Cha and that unknown brand of seasoning?

Why do they ride on my head?

Even his brother Lin Zhaoyi, who never cared about the entertainment industry, knew about Lin Cha's participation in "Leisure" and ran to the program team to question Lin Churou.

"Rou Rou, didn't you say Cha Cha didn't want to participate in "Pastoral"? Why did she go to the Lu family's program again?"

"Brother, can't you see?"

Lin Churou's voice was filled with complaints, "Lin Cha was angry that we kicked her out of the Lin family, so she deliberately participated in the variety show invested by Lu Yanyan! By doing this, she is openly challenging our Lin family!"

Lin Zhaoyi was speechless for a moment.

Driving Lin Cha out of the Lin family was also a helpless move. If Lin Churou hadn't dug up evidence of Lin Cha making things difficult for her and even threatened to commit suicide, how could they have been so cruel as to drive Lin Cha away?

But even if he drove Lin Cha away, Lin Zhaoyi still felt reluctant. He actually didn't believe that Lin Cha would make things difficult for Lin Churou in that way.

"Rou Rou, is there some misunderstanding about this matter? Cha Cha participated in Lu Yanyan's variety show, maybe just to avoid us."

Lin Churou was silent, her fingers gripping her palms, her nails unknowingly digging into her flesh.

Who in the wealthy world didn't know that Lu Yanyan and Lin Churou didn't get along? Lin Cha even participated in Lu Yanyan's variety show, so what misunderstanding could there be?

I don’t know what kind of magic potion Lin Cha gave Lin Zhaoyi! She is the real daughter of the Lin family! Why is he speaking up for Lin Cha so much?

Lin Churou has never liked Lin Cha.

When she was adopted into the Lin family, her parents liked Lin Cha more because she was more elegant, more sensible, and more like a daughter of a wealthy family.

Lin Churou had gone through so much trouble to finally drive Lin Cha away, relying on the blood bond. She didn't want to see her parents and brother doting on Lin Cha more than herself!

It doesn’t matter whether Jiang Mingkai is popular or not, but Lin Cha must not use this opportunity to become popular again!

After Lin Zhaoyi left, Lin Churou's face turned cold. After thinking for a moment, she called Xu Fei.

"Rou Rou?"

A man's loving and doting voice came from the other end of the phone, "Why are you calling me so late? Is there something urgent?"

"Have you sent Jiang Mingkai the evidence that Lin Cha was deliberately riding on Jiang Mingkai's popularity?"

"I sent it anonymously. But there was no response from Jiang Mingkai."

"No response?"

Lin Churou scoffed inwardly. Was Jiang Mingkai stupid? While Lin Cha's publicity stunt wasn't a big deal, exposing it would only increase his own popularity, so why not post it?

"They might have been so busy marketing Jiang Yun that they forgot about it!" Xu Fei explained. "Rou Rou, think about it. After the hotel scandal was exposed, Jiang Mingkai really disliked Lin Cha! If he knew that those videos were all directed and acted by Lin Cha, Jiang Mingkai would definitely not let Lin Cha go. I guess they'll expose this matter in a few days!"

"I can't wait any longer!" Lin Churou gritted her teeth. Seeing Lin Cha's skyrocketing Weibo follower count, Lin Churou felt extremely unhappy.

If Lin Cha continues to attract fans, what if she really becomes popular again?

"Tomorrow morning, when 'Leisure' resumes its broadcast, you should release evidence of Lin Cha's marketing during the show! I want to see how long Lin Cha can remain smug once this revelation is out!"

The next day, "Leisure Life" resumed broadcasting.

At ten o'clock in the morning, all the cameras in the live broadcast room were turned on. After a few minutes of waiting, Jiang Mingkai returned to the leisure cabin amid everyone's expectations.

"Welcome home Mingkai!"

The three melon-eating people stood in a row at the entrance of the courtyard, one of them holding a bunch of fireworks. The fireworks exploded, and colorful bright paper pieces fell from the air.

The variety show is already on its third day of filming. The first two days were spent catching an adulterer and the next day was a blank, completely unrelated to the word "relaxation." Let's not talk about it. The directors have already made up their minds that today is only the first day of filming, and everything will be back on track!

Liu Mingqian and Chen Xianzhi warmly welcomed Jiang Mingkai into the house.

——It’s not that I’m particularly enthusiastic about Jiang Mingkai himself, but mainly because the recording continues and I can continue to watch Lin Cha’s melons~

Lin Cha was also very helpful. While the guests were pretending to greet each other, he quietly turned on his own melon-eating system.

[Let me check~ What interesting things happened today~]

[Wow! A boy band is having a romance! One girl is cheating on three guys! So exciting!]

[Holy crap! A certain movie star is in a relationship with his girlfriend, who is 18 years younger than him! She's even a minor! That movie star is awesome!]

[Let me tell you again~ An 18th-tier celebrity intentionally walked into the wrong hotel room in an attempt to start a romance scandal with a top male star, but was eventually exposed by the male star's team! Hahahaha, who is so stupid!]

Lin Cha laughed in her heart at this stupid, 18th-tier unknown actor, but when she glanced at him, her laughter stopped abruptly.

Everyone:?

Huh? Why don't you say anything?

Liu Mingqian and other guests were extremely confused.

Who is this stupid and failed 18th-tier celebrity who tried to ride on the popularity of others?

Don’t eat half of the melon!

The guests were puzzled when the director team came in hurriedly with an indescribable look on their faces.

Less than ten minutes after resuming broadcast, "Leisure Life" was suspended again!

The director showed the guests the revelations from the Internet.

"Exposing the 18th-tier obscure actress! Selling herself to a top star in a hotel and hiring paparazzi to secretly take scandalous photos of the two of them!"

The attached picture of the article showed Jiang Mingkai and Lin Cha entering and leaving the hotel two days ago!

Okay, the case is solved. That stupid 18th-tier unknown actor is Lin Cha.

Under the article, there are all insults from netizens:

[Lin Cha is a vampire! I told you I was just riding on Jiang Mingkai's popularity!]

[Jiang Mingkai was still with Jiang Yun at the time, so Lin Cha was the third one!]

[Tea bitch is so shameless! Take our Kaikai away without a date!]

[Analysis: Lin Cha had no idea Jiang Mingkai was dating someone, and because they were on the same variety show, she deliberately had paparazzi take photos of them in an attempt to hype up a relationship with Jiang Mingkai. Jiang Mingkai was on the rise, and even if she got scolded by his fans, her popularity would definitely increase significantly. But Lin Cha never expected to catch him cheating that night, and then her own hype would be exposed! Lin Cha is doomed this time!]

[She's responsible for all the bad things she did. Who told her to ride on the hype everywhere? She's done for!]

[I used to like her because of her cooking performance on variety shows! Now I’m really fed up with her. I hope she can quit the industry!]

…

Jiang Mingkai's sudden popularity led to the exposure of Lin Cha's CP hype. When the program resumed, a large number of fans rushed into the live broadcast room, all scolding Lin Cha.

The director knew that he could not record anymore, so he had to temporarily stop the show and called Lin Cha out of the program crew.

Jiang Mingkai and the others were left looking at each other in bewilderment.

Liu Mingqian pulled a chair under the table and glanced at Jiang Mingkai with disdain. "You were the one who exposed the Lin Cha incident? As the saying goes, a drop of water is repaid with a spring of water. People don't ask you to repay a spring of kindness, but you don't have to be ungrateful, right?"

Chen Xianzhi also pulled up a stool and sat next to Liu Mingqian. "Jiang Mingkai, if it weren't for Lin Cha, would you have known about Jiang Yun's infidelity? You're still being cuckolded and happy to be a father! It's just a little bit of popularity, so what? You're so famous now, you'll die if you're exploited by a little bit of popularity!"

“I didn’t expose it!”

Jiang Mingkai was in tears. He had indeed received evidence from an anonymous source exposing Lin Cha's attempts to gain publicity, but he knew that his discovery of Jiang Yun's infidelity was entirely thanks to Lin Cha, so he certainly had no intention of exposing it.

He was still grateful to Lin Cha in his heart. He had destroyed all the evidence, but he never thought that the man would secretly expose the matter!

"If it's not you, then who is it?" Liu Mingqian frowned. "Does Lin Cha have any rivals?"

The three of them thought about it. They knew very little about Lin Cha. Besides, he was just an unknown person, so how could he be a rival?

"The most urgent thing is to help Lin Cha restore her reputation!" Chen Xianzhi said seriously, "If Lin Cha quits the program because of this, we won't have any more gossip..."

Liu Mingqian added sadly, "The food doesn't smell good anymore..."

How hard it would be to watch a casual variety show without melons to eat and the food is not tasty!

When the three of them thought about it, they suddenly felt uncomfortable all over.

No, anyone can leave, but Lin Cha can’t!

The three of them looked worried.

Suddenly, Jiang Mingkai's eyes lit up and he stood up suddenly.

"Teacher Liu, Teacher Chen! I've found a way to help Lin Cha restore her reputation!"
