In every book, there's a scumbag, despicable and shameless, selfish and insidious, who brings misery to countless others. When the boss takes on the scumbag script, they can turn the tables in ...
Tao Rui woke up again and felt that he woke up because of hunger and stomachache.
The system promptly reminded: [Brother Rui, there's no one in the room. The environment is safe, you can safely fuse your memories.]
【good. 】
Tao Rui responded, closed his eyes drowsily, and began to understand the situation of this world.
The original owner, Tao Rui, was an idol who debuted through a talent show three years ago. His singing and dancing abilities weren't great, but he was handsome and incredibly talented at attracting fans. During his performances, he'd wink, raise an eyebrow, and turn around, casually lifting his shirt a bit to reveal a little flesh.
It might look awkward for others to do this, but he grasped it just right and was super seductive, causing the audience to scream in surprise and vote for him to debut!
The original owner also had a knack for bullying and retaining fans. Occasionally, when he casually looked at his teammates with a look of disappointment, his fans would imagine that he must have been excluded, laughed at during practice, or was upset because he couldn't catch up with his teammates despite his efforts...
Therefore, whenever there is a battle between fans of team members, the original owner's fans are always the most powerful.
There were also instances where the original owner was alone at the airport waiting for a flight, accidentally exposed a part of her wrist during a TV show and was discovered to have a Band-Aid on it, helplessly saying she had to lose weight, stared at her own light board for a long time during a performance, and when she encountered a popular and controversial actress, she would hype up her camaraderie with her and then avoid suspicion...
The message these messages convey to fans is: his teammates don't like him, his company doesn't care about him, he's still on TV despite being injured, he's being forced to lose weight even though he's obviously thin, he's sad about losing the light stick competition, and the actress is trying to hype up their relationship with him...
In short, the original owner debuted three years ago, his original boy group disbanded two years ago, and he still hasn't produced any decent works. Instead, he's been the talk of the town. Every time he records a show or walks the red carpet, he's trending. And those trends aren't just bought; they're all manipulated by him, misleading his fans and relying on the hype of the topic.
I have to say that the original owner was very smart in this regard, and he always did it without leaving any trace. Except for those celebrities who were dragged down and hyped by him and felt disgusted to the point of vomiting blood, only a few discerning people in the circle could see through his character.
Most people, especially his fans, are completely deceived by him. Even when he occasionally does something wrong, his fans will find various excuses. After all, he works so hard, but he has no background and is not restricted by the company. Many things are forced upon him by the company.
After reading the original script, Tao Rui could only say, "The original owner is the biggest scumbag of the century. Those scumbags used to persecute only three or five people around them, but what about the original owner? He deceived tens of millions of fans!"
The original owner is well aware of the charm of male beauty. He has been selling male beauty subtly since his debut, and has used various means to abuse fans, making fans feel sad for his experience, sympathize with him, feel sorry for him, and speak up for him, so that fans invest more emotions and more energy to support him. Every data is frantically ranked just to send him to a higher place.
The original owner never took his fans seriously, treating them only as tools to achieve power. He let his fans take the blame, but took all the benefits for himself. Even before his reputation in the entertainment industry was ruined, his fans were already notoriously toxic, with others calling them a cult.
The original owner relied on these methods to maintain high traffic without any other works, and he was actually very popular at the age of 35. Suddenly, it was revealed that he had been dating several girlfriends privately. Maybe they were not even girlfriends, but just bed partners. Each of them served as his assistant, so they were with him almost every day without being discovered by anyone, keeping it a well-hidden secret.
This time, he offended a rising star by pulling him down, and he was exposed by the other party. The other party's fans were not to be trifled with, and they immediately made the matter known to everyone. The original owner's fans were shocked, and they couldn't accept that the idol they had protected and loved for so many years had been lying to them all along!
Most importantly, a recording was also exposed, in which the original owner mentioned fans with a disdainful smile.
This is truly heart-wrenching, a hundred times more painful than a broken heart, because it is truly an unconditional sacrifice.
Fans immediately unfollowed him and turned against him, but the original owner had made a lot of money over the years. With his good looks that still looked very young at the age of 35, he successfully hooked up with a rich woman and retired from the entertainment industry with peace of mind to live off her.
He disappeared cleanly, but his fans left a deep mark on the entertainment industry, and anyone who mentioned him would laugh at him. I've seen houses collapse, but I've never seen one so complete, even the lowest levels have sunk.
Over the years, fans' classic statements defending the original owner have become memes, the most iconic being "Rui Rui works so hard." Everyone laughed, wondering what kind of hard work he was trying to achieve? Was he trying to deceive his fans? It truly irritated all his fans, and since the original owner had escaped unscathed, they had no one to vent their anger on. This frustration lingered in many people's hearts for years.
Tao Rui sat up and covered his forehead. His mission this time was to become the brightest star in the hearts of his fans, and also to find a chance to compensate those who were dragged down and hyped by him.
As for the original owner, that wicked creature, he was currently in the Space-Time Bureau prison, passionately pursuing his idol. Of course, every time he gave his all to a fan, he would feel the pain of seeing the idol's image collapse, his character become low, and he would feel so frustrated that he had no place to vent his anger and went crazy.
If this happens ten times, I'll probably go crazy. It really is karma.
Tao Rui had come through at a good time. The original owner wasn't quite so bold, didn't have a bed companion or assistant by his side, and spent his days focused on hyping up others, boosting traffic, acquiring resources, making more money, and gaining more fans. Therefore, Tao Rui had plenty of time to change and didn't need to take the blame for the original owner.
He felt his stomach and felt extremely hungry.
Who would have thought that he had never felt hunger in the apocalypse, and now that he was in a peaceful and prosperous era, and was a wealthy idol, he would actually wake up hungry?
Tao Rui quickly got into the role of a star, got up, made the bed, quickly washed up and went out to look for someone.
The original owner was filming a show called "Mountain Family." Two male veterans from the entertainment industry led two younger members, one male and one female, who were resident members. They tended the farmyard like a family of four and entertained the guests who visited each episode. They would work and play together, then cook a feast using the ingredients they had worked so hard to obtain, and relax and chat while eating.
It's the kind of slow variety show that's full of down-to-earth flavor, and it has a very high viewership rate.
The original owner's traffic has increased recently, and the company has secured an opportunity for him to participate. This is very rare, so of course the original owner must make good use of the opportunity.
He can't do farm work and isn't funny. Compared to the other visitors, he's nothing special, so he just stirs up trouble.
The original owner arrived at the farmyard this morning, greeted everyone, and then expressed a feeling of discomfort, perhaps from heatstroke. The owner naturally told him to rest quickly, but he stubbornly offered to help. This explained his poor performance on the farm: he was feeling unwell. He continued to work despite being ill. How dedicated!
When it came time for lunch, he said he wanted to lose weight. He ate only a few bites of vegetables like a kitten, rinsing them in water before eating. He looked uncomfortable eating even that little food. When others tried to dissuade him, he smiled helplessly and said he had no choice but to lose weight.
He never asked why it was necessary, and when asked again, he just shook his head and said nothing.
Why else could it be? This company must be so cold-blooded, forcing me to lose weight even though I'm already so thin!
After finishing a few bites of food, the original owner naturally took a nap. He slept for a full three hours, successfully avoiding the toil of digging potatoes on the hillside. While others bent over in the scorching sun, digging, and then carried baskets of potatoes back, nearly falling several times along the way, he, on the other hand, was comfortably dreaming. Aside from the stomachache, everything else was fine.
Tao Rui woke up at this time.
In the original script, the original owner would immediately run out to apologize to everyone after waking up, pretending to have overslept. After being forgiven, he would keep leaning towards the brother and sister who were the resident guests.
For example, when playing dance steps with her brother, her brother is an actor and of course he can't dance, so it seems that the original owner has some professional ability.
For example, if you chat with your sister, help her with small things intentionally or unintentionally, and then be polite, there will be signs of a potential couple.
As a result, the original owner became a hot topic on the show again, but this was his first and last time participating in the show. None of the four regular artists liked him, and neither did the production team.
Now that Tao Rui had come through, he certainly couldn't let this go on. As soon as he left the house, he went straight to where his friends were unloading potatoes and apologized, "Sorry, I overslept. Come, I'll join you. What are we going to do now?"
In addition to him, there were two other young actresses and one actor as guests in this episode. The three of them, along with their brother and sister, were all sweating profusely from exhaustion and sat on the ground, unwilling to move.
Brother Xiao Qin panted a little and said, "No need, we're done. We can just sell these to the production team in exchange for food."
Tao Rui nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll pour you some water."
He poured water for each of them, filled a basin with water for them to wash their hands, and brought a box of wet wipes for them to wipe their sweat.
The actor said with a half-smile, "Hey, Tao Rui, there's no need to be like this. We can just take a break and go by ourselves. It's like you're serving us, which is inappropriate."
Tao Rui smiled and touched his head. "I feel guilty, don't I? I was stunned when I opened my eyes. How could I have overslept? It's like you guys have shared my share. It's too hard. I have to do something to compensate you. Today I am your little brother. You can tell me what to do! Come and let me give you a massage."
Tao Rui started massaging Xiao Qin's shoulders as he spoke. Xiao Qin was about to say no when he suddenly looked surprised and said, "Your technique is quite good! Have you learned it?"
Tao Rui smiled and said, "We practice singing and dancing all day long, for hours at a time, and our whole bodies ache. Now I can learn how to massage myself and use it anytime."
The people around him thought: Here he comes, he’s going to play the victim again.
Then he said, "But I haven't given this massage to anyone else. Xiao Qin, you are the first one to enjoy this treatment. Lin Xiang, let me give you a massage too. You will feel relieved immediately."
The three girls definitely couldn't press it. They joked, "It feels like we're at a disadvantage. We've shared the tasks with you, so why aren't we being treated so well?"
While giving someone a massage, Tao Rui said, "How about I make you some potato pudding? It's super delicious. It's perfect time for us to have afternoon tea."
"Potato pudding? What kind of combination is this? Can it be delicious?"
"Trust me, don't just look at me trying to lose weight, I actually love food and have studied it. I guarantee you'll eat so much later that you'll want to swallow your tongues." Tao Rui said this with confidence, and with his handsome face of 22 years old, he had an inexplicable charm that made people forget how annoying he was before.
Several people wondered in their hearts, no wonder he has so many fans, is this a talent?
Tao Rui's cooking skills, while not necessarily superb, were already at the level of a five-star chef. His words about delicious food were certainly not empty talk. After massaging Xiao Qin and Lin Xiang, he picked up a few potatoes and headed towards the kitchen. Seeing the corn in the kitchen, he said, "Let's have some corn juice with our pudding."
My sister Lin Ya said, "I made corn juice, but it wasn't very tasty. Do you want to mix it with something else?"
"Add some sugar and milk, I'll make some for you to try later." Tao Rui washed his hands and picked up a cucumber next to him and started eating.
The few people who followed stood nearby and said with a smile, "Aren't you going to make afternoon tea? Why are you eating it yourself?"
Tao Rui touched his stomach sheepishly. "I didn't eat much at noon, and my stomach hurts from hunger. I think I must eat more tonight. I probably won't be able to lose weight today."
He walked naturally to the stove and greeted the two seniors, "Teacher Li, Teacher Fang, what are we having for dinner tonight?"
Teacher Li smiled and said, "What do you want to eat?"
"I feel like I could eat a whole cow! I'm back to full health after a good sleep." Tao Rui joked, "There were so many delicious dishes at noon, I was so tempted. I forced myself not to eat any. I regret it so much."
Mr. Fang, who was in charge of preparing the feast, said casually, "Losing weight mainly depends on exercise, and you still have to eat enough."
Tao Rui could tell they were a little unhappy with him, that was for sure. He smiled and whispered, "I'm just lazy. I try not to move if I can, so I figured I'd just eat less and reduce my calorie intake. But I ended up getting so hungry that my stomach ached. I learned my lesson. I can eat two big bowls of rice tonight."
After he finished his cucumber, he felt a little better after eating the food. He washed his hands again and said, "I'll make you some potato and egg pudding. I'm not bragging, my cooking skills are really good. I can also make you a few other dishes with potatoes tonight."
Xiao Qin stood by and watched him, complaining, "Don't talk big, or you'll get slapped in the face. Finish this one first, then think of anything else."
Tao Rui raised his hand and made an OK gesture with a youthful smile on his face.
He has been in the entertainment industry, working as an actor, screenwriter, and investor, but never as an idol. So, he needs to find his feet and adapt to the youthful and energetic image of an idol.
But even if you haven't eaten pork, you have seen pigs run. When he ran an entertainment company before, he cultivated many idols, so he is still very confident in himself.
Cooking delicious food is not only easy for him, but also pleasing to the eye. After all, he is also a food live-streamer.
His smooth and flowing movements attracted several other students, and even the two teachers looked up. Teacher Fang nodded and said, "If nothing else, his knife skills are very good, better than mine."
Tao Rui first made mashed potatoes, then beat eggs and baked them in the oven.
At this time, he started making corn juice again. The program was sponsored by milk, so he used milk to make food and also took the opportunity to advertise milk.
Soon, the corn juice was ready, smelling milky and fragrant, and the pale yellow, silky pudding was also ready. He added a few garnishes on top and said to everyone with a smile, "Please enjoy."
My younger sister Lin Ya loved it so much that she couldn’t wait to scoop a spoonful into her mouth and immediately smiled in surprise, “It’s delicious, really delicious.”
"Really? Let me try it."
"Let me try too."
Everyone took a pudding to taste. The pudding was not too sweet and retained a bit of the unique taste of potatoes and the aroma of eggs. Even the two seniors thought it was very good and finished a small cup of pudding without realizing it.
Teacher Fang said, "This is great. Come and teach me how to make it. I'll make it for my daughter to try when I get home. Otherwise, she'll definitely ask for it after she sees the show."
At this time, Lin Ya was pleasantly surprised and said, "Corn juice is delicious too! Teacher Fang, try this. I think your daughter will like it too. It's so delicious."
The two female artists also nodded as they drank, "Tao Rui is really good. He's a chef who's been delayed by the entertainment industry."
Xiao Qin drank all the corn juice in one gulp and was about to pour out the rest, but Lin Ya held him down and snatched it away.
The milky corn juice was well received, and Tao Rui's afternoon tea was a complete success, which made everyone's favorability towards him increase a little.
In fact, what he made were very ordinary things, but even the most ordinary things made by the royal chef could be delicious, it just required mastering the proportions, heat and cooking techniques.
Teacher Fang likes cooking and found common ground with Tao Rui. He talked to him for a long time and unexpectedly discovered that Tao Rui was not only good at cooking but was really proficient in cooking.
While the other kids went to the yard to chat or play games, Tao Rui was in the kitchen chatting with Teacher Fang about the eight major cuisines and stealing some meat, the braised pork that Teacher Fang had been stewing.
"Teacher Fang, I think it's almost done. I'll give everyone a taste first." He picked up a piece with Xiaodie and put it in his mouth as soon as it was no longer hot.
Teacher Fang shook his head in amusement. "You're still trying to lose weight? You're enjoying the braised pork."
Tao Rui waved his hand and waited until he finished the meat in his mouth before saying, "I think the only thing in the world that you can't miss is delicious food. After having a stomachache today, I suddenly realized something. I decided to eat and drink as much as I should from now on, and work out to increase my energy consumption."
Teacher Fang agreed. "You're still a child. If you exercise a little in your twenties, you won't get fat. You're fine the way you are now, no need to lose weight."
Tao Rui smiled and said, "Then I'll listen to Teacher Fang and not reduce the flavor. How about I try another piece? I didn't taste it just now."
Teacher Fang scolded him with a smile, but didn't stop him. After all, Tao Rui hadn't eaten lunch, and he'd woken up with a stomachache, so it would be nice to have something to fill his stomach now.
Tao Rui actually made four dishes for dinner: wolf tooth potatoes, mashed potatoes with lettuce wraps, dry fried potato chips and braised potato cubes with sauce.
Xiao Qin tasted it and clapped his hands, praising, "Tao Rui, you can stay here. I love what you do so much!"
Lin Ya also nodded repeatedly and kept eating her favorite wolf tooth potatoes, not even having time to say anything.
Teacher Li deliberately acted funny and said, "Hey, you said that, Teacher Fang will be unhappy. Isn't the delicious food Teacher Fang made for you enough?"
Xiao Qin hurriedly said: "No, no, this..."
"Two styles. Tao Rui's looks like snacks." Lin Ya added hurriedly.
Teacher Fang said with a smile: "Even if you like it, you have to eat it all. No leftovers are allowed."
Several people were picking up dishes quickly. Tao Rui's dishes looked like snacks, mainly for the braised pork and pickled fish made by the recipe teacher.
After eating for a while, the two female artists sighed with emotion: "When we were digging potatoes today, we were saying that we might have a phobia for a while to come and be afraid of potatoes. We didn't expect to eat them so early in the evening."
Tao Rui clasped his hands together and smiled at everyone, saying, "Thank you all for your presence. You've all worked so hard today. I'll plant more tomorrow morning."
Xiao Qin jokingly said, "It doesn't matter whether you work or not. Just make us some delicious food, right?"
"right!"
"No problem. I can't say I'm good at other things, but I'm an expert at cooking." Tao Rui straightened his chest and promised, then joined the crowd grabbing food.
When dinner was almost over, Xiao Qin brought over the mobile KTV and called a few people to sing. Tao Rui was the only singer, so naturally he was asked to order first.
The original owner was super serious about showing off his singing skills in this segment. Although he sang a simple song quite well, everyone was just there for fun, and the others were just actors, so his behavior actually affected the atmosphere. But he seemed so serious, so it was hard to dislike him. Instead, I thought he was a bit too straightforward and dull.
Now Tao Rui got the microphone and directly ordered two super exciting fast songs, and pulled Xiao Qin and Lin Xiang to sing together in a mess. He led them to do the simplest tap movements, singing, tapping and shaking their heads in a funny way. It was simply a dance of demons, making everyone laugh so hard that they fell over, and said that Tao Rui had lost his idol image.
Tao Rui didn't just lose his idol image; he simply let himself go. He then hugged Xiao Qin and sang classic songs like a brother. While several female artists were singing, he, Xiao Qin, and Lin Xiang took a bunch of leaves and used them as petals to scatter around them.
If you randomly throw this kind of thing around without any experience, the picture will really look terrible, without any aesthetic appeal, and can be called a cheap special effect, which made the two seniors laugh so hard.
Afterwards, they played idiom chain games, brain teasers, and word guessing games. Tao Rui never lost once. Sometimes he could even ask questions to stump everyone, but the answers were always very funny, which always made everyone laugh. Even Teacher Li lamented that the little house had not been so happy for several days.
Tao Rui got along exceptionally well with everyone, and the subtle dislike he felt before was completely gone. They weren't close to each other to begin with, so small things weren't considered a major conflict, so there was nothing that couldn't be solved with delicious food.
Besides, no matter who it is, if they excel in one aspect, they will be able to attract people's attention. Everyone knows that Tao Rui's singing and dancing are average, but nowadays, whether you can become popular in the entertainment industry is not entirely based on your ability, so people won't specifically pick on this aspect.
What was unexpected was that Tao Rui’s cooking was super delicious, especially after he spent the entire afternoon with everyone. Everyone could feel that he had a good personality and high emotional intelligence, so they naturally enjoyed being with him.
As for why he was so unpleasant when he first arrived, everyone naturally attributed it to physical discomfort. After all, the original owner said he was very uncomfortable at the beginning, right? I can understand, I can understand.
When taking a shower at night, there was no camera in the bathroom, so Tao Rui entered the space and drank a large glass of spiritual spring water immediately. This was the real revival of full blood.
The system said: [Brother Rui, do you want to practice now? ]
[Yes, keep an eye on it for me. If anything happens, notify me immediately.]
Tao Rui channeled a portion of the spiritual spring in the space into a bathing pool, specifically for relaxing and practicing. As soon as Tao Rui entered, he felt refreshed all over, a hundred times more comfortable than soaking in a hot spring, as if all his pores were opened, and spiritual energy rushed to nourish him.
Tao Rui seized the opportunity to practice. This time, with the space available, he didn't have to worry about the spiritual energy in the world. The spiritual energy in the space was rich, and he quickly drew the energy into his body and completed a small cycle of the exercises.
Bathing shouldn't take too long, so he quickly finished and left the bathroom, drying his hair and getting ready for bed. But in just that short moment, the original owner's fatigue and discomfort had vanished, leaving him feeling refreshed.
He and Xiao Qin chatted and laughed for a while before going to sleep. The next day, the system alarm clock woke him up, and he became the first person to get up in the courtyard.
He quietly washed up and walked to the yard. While stretching, he smiled at the camera and said, "I performed very poorly yesterday. I have to find a chance to make up for it. I plan to make breakfast for everyone today. I wonder if you will like it."
He went to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and looked in. He muttered to himself, "There's still some chicken left from yesterday. It'll be great for some shredded chicken porridge. I'll also make some...milky steamed buns. The two teachers might not like milky ones, so I'll skip the milk in theirs."
Tao Rui did what he said. He showed off his knife skills when shredding chicken, cutting onions, ginger and garlic, and kneading dough to steam buns. His movements were skillful and he did it all in one go.
After he finished cooking, someone in the room finally got up. It was Xiaoyuan'er's younger sister, Lin Ya, who had gotten up to study English. The play she was about to perform had a lot of English lines, and her English wasn't very good, so she was cramming for it. She hadn't expected someone to get up earlier than her. She came over with a book in hand and exclaimed in surprise, "You've already cooked? It smells so good."
Tao Rui wiped his hands and said with a smile, "Didn't you say I was pretty good yesterday? I thought I'd make breakfast for everyone today. This kind of experience is quite rare. It's quite interesting to make breakfast for the whole family in a farmyard, feeling the morning breeze."
Lin Ya nodded, "This place feels like home."
Lin Ya is quite introverted and didn't know what to say after she finished speaking. Tao Rui took the initiative to ask, "Are you learning English?"
Lin Ya picked up the book and glanced at it, then said with a headache, "Yeah, I didn't study English well before, so now I'm anxious when I need to use it. Actually, I just need to memorize the lines, but I don't know why the pronunciation is always a little off."
Tao Rui said, "Can I help you take a look? My English is pretty good. I'll read it to you."
Of course Lin Ya agreed. The two of them sat in the corridor and read English from the same book. The scene suddenly became fresh and clean on campus, just like the morning reading of classmates. It was inexplicably a bit beautiful. It was not like seeing love, but seeing youth.
Tao Rui had traveled through several lifetimes and used English frequently, which honed his accent to a very pure level. After he read it once, Lin Ya gave him a thumbs-up in surprise, thinking that he read very well.
Then Tao Rui carefully taught her how to pronounce the words and what little tricks she could use. She was the one Tao Rui needed to compensate, so what he said to her was the most practical things. As Lin Ya listened, she even ran to get a small notebook and wrote down everything he said, making it feel like she was studying on campus.
Teacher Li and Teacher Fang, who had just gotten out of bed, were both startled and asked, "What's this for?"
Lin Ya said happily, "Tao Rui taught me English pronunciation. He summarized it all himself and it's easier to understand than what the teacher taught me."
Teacher Li laughed and said, "Is it true? I'm coming over to listen too."
After listening to Tao Rui for a while, he knew that Tao Rui was not trying to fool Lin Ya. His eyes couldn't help but warm up a little, and he praised: "Xiao Rui is really quite capable. It seems that he has helped our Xiao Ya a lot this time. English pronunciation has always been Xiao Ya's biggest worry."
Lin Ya smiled sheepishly. Tao Rui said, "Sister Lin Ya is incredibly smart. She just didn't find the right method before. She'll definitely learn quickly. Whenever I see Lin Ya, I feel like I'm seeing my own sister. I really don't want to see her worried. No wonder people online call her the national sister. She really does look like one."
Teacher Li smiled and said, "We agree too. My sister is very quiet and sensible. Okay, okay, let's stop praising her, otherwise my sister will be embarrassed to come out today."
At this time, Teacher Fang noticed the breakfast being cooked in the kitchen. Seeing that it was almost done, he smiled and said, "I'm going to save myself some trouble today. Xiao Rui, don't leave. Stay here and help me. From now on, I will be the headmaster of our courtyard. I will only be responsible for entertaining guests and nothing else."
"You wish!" Teacher Li complained and called Tao Rui to go to the kitchen to check on breakfast.
Tao Rui mixed two more plates of cold dishes and started eating after everyone got up. Naturally, he received a lot of praise again. After all, the food he cooked was really delicious.
The guests of "Mountain and Wilderness Home" didn't stay long, usually staying overnight and leaving after lunch the next day. So this morning, they went to the fields to plant some vegetables before leaving.
Tao Rui performed very well this time. He had wood-related abilities in his previous life. When there was no base at the beginning, he grew all the vegetables. Moreover, when he traveled to the 1970s, he also specially studied various plants and animals. Farming was also a skilled job for him.
He deliberately acted unskilled, but he was still much better than the others. He looked like the smart one who could learn quickly. He quickly got the hang of it and began to plant the land quickly. After planting, he went to help Xiao Qin next door. They were the same age, and Tao Rui found a topic he liked to chat with Xiao Qin. They planted while chatting and laughing. From a distance, they looked like brothers.
Teacher Li and Teacher Fang stood in the yard, holding teacups and watching them. Seeing this scene, Teacher Li couldn't help but smile and said, "Xiao Rui and our farmyard are quite compatible. He's obviously an idol, right? There's nothing wrong with him doing farm work and cooking."
Teacher Fang thought of the previous night and said with amusement, "It's not just that. He lets loose and it doesn't seem out of place with Xiao Qin's screams and howls. I was wondering if all idols nowadays are like this?"
Teacher Li waved his hands quickly, "No, they all need to be more refined."
"That's good." Teacher Fang said.
We were still recording the show, so it was not convenient to say much, but it was clear that their two seniors' views on Tao Rui had changed. This was evident from the way they addressed him, "Xiao Rui."
Tao Rui was as tired and sweating as everyone else this time, but because he subtly found topics to talk about and joke with everyone, everyone came back laughing.
When discussing what to eat for lunch, Tao Rui suggested barbecue, which naturally required grilling equipment. The yard was large, but there was no barbecue grill. So after everyone agreed to have barbecue, Tao Rui volunteered to build a barbecue grill in an out-of-the-way spot in the yard.
Tao Rui was being cunning. No matter how well he performed in this episode, he would be gone after this one. But the barbecue grill he left behind made a difference. Every time we filmed the yard, we could see the grill. Who knows, maybe future guests would want to eat barbecue and use it?
In the entertainment industry, leaving more traces is the key to becoming famous quickly. Fans want to see him become famous the most, so he is trying every possible way to become famous quickly.
Eating barbecue on a hot day is unbelievable, but even though we were so hot, we still thought it was delicious. We ate it with great enthusiasm, and drank iced drinks while enjoying the spicy food. It was just a refreshing feeling!
This episode was almost like a food show. When Tao Rui left, the brothers and sisters were a little reluctant to let him go, because they felt that doing anything with Tao Rui was fun. The atmosphere was originally very lively, but suddenly they left, and the family of four was left in silence, which was a bit strange.
Tao Rui left the filming area and changed into his agent's car. His agent, Lao Qi, asked worriedly, "How's it going? Did you offend anyone?"
Tao Rui smiled and said, "I'm such a good person, how could I offend anyone?"
Lao Qi thought: Are you the only one who still has any sense of propriety? Those people you've dragged down must be hating you to death behind your back.
He knew Tao Rui's character well enough to not dwell on it, fearing he might upset him and then incite his fans to attack him. Anyway, the company didn't care as long as Tao Rui made money, so he didn't have to pay attention.
Tao Rui opened the car window and took a photo of the rural scenery outside. He had learned photography from a professional photographer, and the photos he took looked beautiful.
Lao Qi glanced in the rearview mirror and said, "Are you in a good mood? Why did you take a photo? Didn't you take any during the recording?"
Tao Rui opened his Weibo account and began editing the content, casually replying, "This is for my fans to see. It's the scenery along the way."
Lao Qi stopped talking. In his opinion, this was just Tao Rui trying to fool his fans again. There was nothing surprising about it.
But Tao Rui is not like that. The original owner deceived and exploited his fans all day long, but he wanted to cherish and care for his fans. So he posted photos simply to share the beautiful scenery and joy with his fans.
Because as long as he is happy, his fans will be happy.
In addition to the landscape photos, he also posted a selfie of himself in the car, captioning: [A unique rural trip, super enjoyable and happy, it feels like I've arrived in a paradise. Let everyone see the beautiful scenery through my eyes.]
He's all smiles in the photo, and it's clear he's having a great time. The beautiful countryside scenery is so refreshing that I even want to go see it for myself.
His Weibo post was flooded with comments from fans, many of whom were aware of his schedule: the completion of filming for "Mountain and Wilderness Family." Seeing Tao Rui so happy, they immediately warmed to the show and were eager to see it air. One fan even sent a private message to the official "Mountain and Wilderness Family" Weibo account, thanking the production team for giving Tao Rui such a wonderful experience.
The production team was actually shocked when they first saw the names that were clearly the motives of Tao Rui's fans. Because Tao Rui's fans are well-known, they've fought for him and torn this and that. The production team's first reaction was that their own fans would be torn apart too.
Unexpectedly, when I opened it, I saw nothing but thanks. Then, after seeing Tao Rui's Weibo, the production team also had a better impression of Tao Rui. At least it was different from the impression I had gotten from hearsay.
After Tao Rui posted on Weibo, he asked Lao Qi what his next job would be.
Lao Qi said, "I have to catch a flight to City S tomorrow morning. I'll shoot a commercial tomorrow afternoon, a magazine shoot there the day after tomorrow, and a fan meeting in City A the day after that. That evening, I'll fly back to Yanjing for an audition for an idol drama. Oh, and I have a stage performance in ten days, so I need to find time to practice my singing and dancing..."
Tao Rui listened to the tasks listed one after another, speechless. It seemed like being an idol was much busier than when he was an actor. Every day was filled with things to do, and he was constantly flying around. He lost count of the time he wasted on planes. Sure enough, he had to become famous quickly to be able to turn down jobs he didn't like.
He looked out the car window at the wind blowing in the wind. He was about to embark on his idol journey. Singing and dancing was something he had never done before. I hope he won't let everyone down this time.

It was already dark when Tao Rui arrived at his residence. Lao Qi didn't even get out of the car downstairs. He just said hello and left. It was obvious how much the original owner was disliked by those around him.
The original owner had just debuted three years ago and didn't have much savings, so he lived in the dormitory provided by the company. It was called a dormitory, but it was actually a small house, a one-bedroom apartment at 50 square meters. He had already gained some fame and didn't need to share a room with others.
After Tao Rui entered the room, he pulled all the curtains and began to organize the original owner's things.
Those stuffed animals, cartoon pajamas, and the like—all things girls would find cute—were used by the original owner to pose for photos or livestreams. Tao Rui didn't like them at all.
The original owner's clothing style, likes to play the victim, there are many weak, and the neckline is too big to show the chest when bending over, and there are all kinds of light candy colors,
