Chapter 71: Maybe I'm Cowardly

After the birthday party, many unfamiliar friends appeared in the letters surrounding Shao Yuan.

Most of them were fans who came to attend the banquet and Jay Chou’s friends.

He Yiming, who came from Handu, also wanted to invite me, Shao Yuan, to dinner.

However, I, Shao Yuan, refused.

Because he was preparing to pack his bags and go on a sweet trip.

After Yu Shan and the other two joined the variety show crew, Liu Ying couldn't wait to start filming the variety show.

However, I heard that something unexpected happened.

A rich second-generation man who had signed a contract before suddenly changed his boyfriend.

That’s right, my boyfriend.

I heard that it has only been a few days since the contract was signed.

She actually changed her boyfriend.

This is a bit too unreliable.

If the contract had not been signed, Liu Ying would have wanted to change people.

For a sweet journey, every couple or lover only needs one person to sign the contract.

Therefore, if the one without a signed contract wants to be replaced, there is actually no problem.

Just give advance notice.

These are all the cool moves in variety shows.

Because in many variety shows, the so-called couples are actually fake.

But Liu Ying pursues the truth.

We are looking for real couples and lovers.

If I, Shao Yuan, had not personally admitted that his housekeeper Si Yi was his boyfriend.

Liu Ying still couldn't believe it.

Liu Ying informed Shao Yuan of the news that one of the guests had changed their boyfriends.

And sent a copy of the final confirmed list of guests to me, Shao Yuan.

There are four pairs of guests in total.

The first pair, of course, is I Shao Yuan and Si Yi.

The second pair is superstar Lin Tianxing and his wife He Jia.

The third couple was an ordinary couple randomly selected from the Internet. The man's name was Gong Chengnan and the woman's name was Fei Li.

The fourth pair was a same-sex couple from the second generation of wealthy people randomly selected online. One was named Cai Jiabao and the other was named Chengsheng.

Originally, Cai Jiabao’s partner was not Chengsheng. Liu Ying said that Cai Jiabao suddenly changed her boyfriend yesterday.

I, Shao Yuan, was stunned when I saw the name Cai Jiabao.

His finger tapped the name of the fourth couple. What a coincidence.

The fourth pair of guests also has a guest named Cai Jiabao, who is also a rich second generation.

Look at this address again.

Wow, it’s also Yijing Garden.

Now we can hammer it in.

This Cai Jiabao is the Cai Jiabao that he knows.

Yesterday, that guy was beaten black and blue by his parents and thrown in front of him.

Then he cried and begged for forgiveness.

He also promised not to appear in front of him.

Now, I have to record a variety show with him?

She also changed her boyfriend before the show was recorded.

If I remember correctly, he went to buy a cake with his boyfriend a few days ago.

She changes boyfriends faster than she changes clothes!

However, from this we can see that Cai Jiabao probably doesn’t know that he also participated in the variety show Sweet Journey.

Liu Ying, who was sitting opposite, saw that Shao Yuan seemed to be staring at the guest list for a long time, and thought that Shao Yuan had some objection to the guest list.

So, I couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Zhen, do you have any objections to the list?"

"No."

I, Shao Yuan, closed the list and said, "You are the director, just decide on the guest selections."

Seeing that Shao Yuan was meaningless, Liu Ying also breathed a sigh of relief.

When she said that the fourth pair of guests would be replaced, she thought that I, Shao Yuan, would have an objection.

After all, it has been decided that filming will start in two days, and the sudden change of guests will have a great impact.

Liu Ying was also very angry.

But considering that the other party is his fan.

Moreover, the breakup was not what the other party wanted.

In order to fulfill the contract, the other party had no choice but to bring a boyfriend to participate in the variety show.

Why don't you change people?

Please, this contract is not only binding on the guests, but also on the crew of their show.

Forcibly changing the guest would be a breach of contract.

Their program team will lose money.

Ten million.

Moreover, after changing her boyfriend, he also said that this kind of thing would not happen again.

Otherwise, he will directly pay 100 million yuan to the program team.

That's why Liu Ying kept Cai Jiabao.

"Okay, if that's okay with you, Mr. Zhen, then we'll start filming the day after tomorrow. Since Yu Shan and Ding Lanlan are your friends, they'll become your and Mr. Si's exclusive makeup artists and cameramen."

"As for Gao Fei, we will arrange for him to be the exclusive makeup artist for Lin Tianxing and his wife. Is that okay with you?"

After all, the three of them are my friends, Shao Yuan, so Liu Ying still has to take care of them to some extent.

As for arranging Gao Fei to be with Lin Tianxing, it was because of Gao Fei's makeup skills, which Liu Ying had seen on the Internet.

In addition to Gao Fei, Liu Ying also watched Yu Shan's live videos of his makeup skills online.

Got Liu Ying's approval.

Ding Lanlan also showed Liu Ying the videos he had shot before.

Proved his ability.

These are all what I, Shao Yuan, requested.

Although the three of them are his friends.

He is also the only investor of the show.

It’s very easy to designate a makeup artist and a videographer.

However, he respected Liu Ying very much.

If you don’t have a certain level of strength, even if Yu Shan and the others are your friends.

I, Shao Yuan, will not abuse my power for personal gain.

"Okay, that's settled then."

I, Shao Yuan, think this arrangement is very reasonable.

Well, the program recording will start the day after tomorrow, so I’ll post on Weibo today to inform my fans.

Is it a surprise for them?

Recently, I, Shao Yuan, have been busy with my birthday party, so there has been no live broadcast.

The main reason is that the system has not released any tasks.

Fortunately, on my birthday, Ma Liang and others started a live broadcast.

However, the live broadcast of just a few people cannot comfort the hearts of those fans!

Although many fans want Zhen Shao Yuan to live broadcast, they just want to see if they can get some benefits.

However, after the birthday party, more people wanted to know about Shao Yuan's life.

After all, there are many rich second-generations doing live broadcasts now.

However, many of the rich second generation are afraid that their privacy will be exposed.

Therefore, no one will broadcast their private life live.

At most, they would occasionally show off their superior living conditions or luxury goods.

People like Zhen Shao Yuan not only live broadcast their shopping process.

He even live-streamed his own house, which is really a unique case.

After all, rich people are very concerned about their privacy, for fear that those powerful netizens on the Internet will find out something bad about them.

But I, Shao Yuan, am not afraid.

Because his information has been encrypted by the system.

Except for the real big guys, no one else can find his information.

Therefore, when I, Shao Yuan, am broadcasting live, there is certainly nothing to worry about.

Of course, when I posted on Weibo, I, Shao Yuan, also told Liu Ying about it.

At the same time, Liu Ying also notified Lin Tianxing and his wife.

Let Lin Tianxing and his wife also post on Weibo.

As for the other two couples, Liu Ying also notified them.

So, the first person to post on Weibo was Liu Ying.

She used a scarf released by her own studio.

Then he @ed the Weibo accounts of the four pairs of guests.

After receiving the news, the four pairs of guests immediately posted on Weibo.

I, Shao Yuan, now have nearly 60 million fans.

That’s ten million more than the superstar Lin Tianxing.

Moreover, the fans are very active.

As soon as I, Shao Yuan, posted on Weibo, a large group of fans gathered around to watch.

"Am I seeing things right? Your Majesty is going to participate in the variety show directed by my goddess?"

"That's right, my goddess's work just released the news and @ed Your Majesty, so this thing must be right."

"Didn't they say they would stop filming this variety show? Why is it suddenly filming again?"

"I heard a rumor that His Majesty has invested in it. That's why Liu Ying started filming this variety show. However, this variety show doesn't have a star rating, so we plan to put it on the Xiaoxiao Video app and broadcast it in a storyboard live broadcast format."

"Broadcast it live? Is that even possible? We don't have variety shows like this live in China, right?"

"Am I the only one who noticed that His Majesty is going to be on a dating variety show?"

"Oh, yeah, I hadn't noticed until someone mentioned it. This is a dating variety show. Your Majesty can't go there alone, right? So, Your Majesty has a girlfriend?"

"It could also be a boyfriend."

"Oops, I forgot to ask His Majesty if he's single."

"So, who is the person who went to the show with His Majesty?"

…

A group of fans were originally very interested in the variety show Sweet Journey.

But gradually it went astray.

One by one, they began to care about Shao Yuan's partner.

Moreover, they all ran to @朕 Shao Yuan, as if they were afraid that I Shao Yuan couldn't see them.

In order to maintain the mystery, I, Shao Yuan, did not announce it directly.

Instead, he sent a "boo" emoticon.

Then he sent the word "secret".

This made a large number of fans crazy with curiosity.

One by one, they ran to my scarf, rolling on their knees and begging.

I ask Shao Yuan to announce who his partner is.

However, I, Shao Yuan, of course pretended not to see it.

Fans who couldn't get an answer from Zhen Shao Yuan went to Liu Ying's studio Weibo, hoping to dig out the answer from it.

As a result, Liu Ying’s studio Weibo only @ed four guests.

As for the partners of these four guests, all of them are kept confidential.

Even many people don’t know who Lin Tianxing’s wife is.

This helped Lin Tianxing and his wife He Jia to keep the secret well.

Unable to get the answer from Liu Ying's studio, the fans immediately started throwing a tantrum, wanting to know the answer from Liu Ying's studio.

As a result, Liu Ying’s studio also posted the same Weibo as Zhen Shao Yuan.

A "boo" emoji with the word "secret" added.

This is pure copy and paste.

The kind that doesn't even want to change a punctuation mark.

This has made many people feel anxious.

Who is His Majesty's partner?

Unable to find the answer, those people just create posts online and make guesses.

The various posts are getting higher and higher, and there are more and more of them.

Amidst all kinds of discussions and speculations, it is natural to take a "sweet journey".

So, here comes the heat.

In addition, King Lin has never participated in a variety show, and his wife is also a very mysterious person.

His fans quickly joined in the heated discussions and speculations.

The next day, "Sweet Journey" became the number one trending search.

This is the result of a real traffic impact.

And most of this is beneficial to the sense of mystery created by the scarf on my neck.

This wave of operations directly made "Sweet Journey" the number one hot search.

But Liu Ying was very happy.

She immediately took the opportunity to release the official website of "Sweet Journey".

As soon as this official post came out, the number of people paying attention to it increased at a rapid rate.

The boss of Xiaoxiao Video APP, which bought the live broadcast rights of "Sweet Journey", was also grinning from ear to ear.

Because of the Sweet Journey in just one day, their APP gained more than 20 million new users.

Originally, Xiaoxiao Video was not as good as the other two video giants.

The traffic and users are even less than the two giants.

Because the good resources have already tilted towards the two giants.

But now, because of a variety show, they have directly brought in more than 20 million new users.

This is like pie in the sky.

The boss of Xiaoxiao Video patted the shoulder of the young supervisor who bought the copyright of "Sweet Journey".

Praise in front of everyone.

"Xiao Zhou, you must be credited for this. If you hadn't ignored everyone's protests and forcefully bought this sweet trip, we at Xiaoxiao Video wouldn't have had such a lucky break."

"You have excellent vision. Old Li is not young anymore and has reached retirement age. Starting today, you will temporarily become the deputy manager of our variety show department. When Old Li retires next year, you will be able to fully take over all matters of the variety show department. The manager position will be yours."

Zhou Zhilan, the newly appointed deputy manager of the variety show department of Xiaoxiao Video, said with uncontrollable excitement: "Boss, don't worry, I will definitely work hard."

My boss promised me in public that I would be given the high position of head of the variety show department!

Of course, the prerequisite is that he must achieve results in the position of deputy manager.

This is equivalent to a test.

If he hadn't made any achievements, he certainly wouldn't have been the top leader.

But Zhou Zhilan is not afraid of tests.

He was afraid that he would not have the opportunity to be tested.

"Okay, then I'll leave the full responsibility of this sweet journey to you. You must not let me down."

The boss of Xiaoxiao Video began to delegate power to Zhou Zhilan directly.

Zhou Zhilan held his head high and chest puffed out, assuring, "Boss, please rest assured. I will definitely go all out to make Sweet Journey a variety show that surpasses the two big names."

"Okay." The boss of Xiaoxiao Video said with a smile, "Young people are indeed full of energy. I'm optimistic about you."

Zhou Zhilan was so happy at this moment.

He didn't expect that he just owed Liu Ying a favor.

In order to repay her favor, he went against all odds and bought the first live broadcast rights of Sweet Journey at the price of Samsung Variety Show.

At that time, he was actually not optimistic about the variety show created by Liu Ying.

Unexpectedly, it was such a decision to repay a favor.

He actually jumped directly from a small supervisor in the variety show department to the deputy manager of the variety show department.

Deputy manager is equivalent to the second in command of the variety show department.

This is a jump of three levels!

Even though their variety show department already has two deputy managers.

He was only the third.

However, Zhou Zhilan was confident that he could defeat the other two and successfully take the position.

The others sitting below were filled with envy and jealousy when they saw Zhou Zhilan suddenly become the head of the variety show department.

They all regretted it.

But why didn’t they fancy the sweet journey?

After all, many of them present had received calls from Liu Ying and her agent.

But it’s all because of Zhao Kangqian and the novel live broadcast subject matter that it’s easy for anchors to have accidents.

They are not optimistic about Liu Ying's variety show.

So they all rejected Liu Ying and her agent.

Unexpectedly, they actually let a golden duck fly away.

Of course, some people are not convinced.

Thinking secretly in my heart.

This show hasn't aired yet.

It's too early to be happy now.

If any unexpected incident occurs during the live broadcast of the program.

Then this sweet journey is over.

Zhou Zhilan will definitely not be able to keep his position as deputy manager.

He might even lose his previous position as a junior supervisor.

Therefore, there must be no problems on this sweet journey.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhilan immediately took out his phone and called Liu Ying.

On the other side, Liu Ying received a call from Zhou Zhilan's second generation.

ecstatic.

"Okay, okay, I understand. I'll send you the promotional images right now. We'll definitely be ready to go live the day after tomorrow. Thank you, old classmate."

Seeing Liu Ying's beaming face, Sister Hua asked curiously, "What are you so happy about?"

Liu Ying said excitedly, "Sister Hua, my old classmate on Xiaoxiao Video told me that we will be given the first place in the Sweet Journey today. Let me send our promotional pictures over."

"First choice?"

Sister Hua thought she had misheard.

"The first recommendation you mentioned is the one recommended on the Xiaoxiao Video homepage?"

Liu Ying nodded. "Yes, that's it. I didn't expect my old classmate to be so helpful."

"Why are you waiting so long? Time is running out. I'll have Xiaotian send the promotional pictures right away. Send them to your old classmate right away."

Sister Hua immediately picked up her phone and called Xiaotian from the Propaganda Department.

Soon, the variety show "Sweet Journey" was recommended on the homepage of Xiaoxiao Video.

Although there was no guest on the poster, within half an hour of the recommendation, nearly 30 million pre-orders were made.

When the boss of Xiaoxiao Video saw the number of reservations, he praised Zhou Zhilan again.

Compared to the elation of others.

Cai Jiabao's fate was much more tragic.

Because his parents were unwilling to pay him a penalty of 10 million yuan.

Therefore, in order to pay the 10 million yuan in liquidated damages, he could only call his best friend Chengsheng and ask him to come to the rescue.

It’s a good thing Chengsheng is fed up with his parents’ urging him to get married.

In addition, Cai Jiabao promised him various benefits.

In a fit of rage, he agreed to pretend to be Cai Jiabao's boyfriend.

Before Cai Jiabao had time to be happy, he saw that it was on the hot search list.

Then I found out that I, Shao Yuan, would also participate in the variety show Sweet Journey.

In an instant, Cai Jiabao felt as if he was struck by lightning, and the world was in darkness.

Why? I, Shao Yuan, am just an investor.

He could also convince himself that as an investor, he was only responsible for investment and would not appear at the recording site.

However, now, Zhen Shao Yuan not only appears at the recording site, he is also one of the guests.

And this publicity is for him as the chief guest.

This is simply God's will to kill him!

He had promised before that he would never appear in front of me, Shao Yuan, again, but I didn't expect that just one day had passed.

He was about to slap himself in the face.

Cai Jiabao also knew that this matter could not be pretended not to have happened.

This proactive admission of guilt should result in a reduced sentence, right?

So, Cai Jiabao went to the villa in person to apologize to Shao Yuan and admit his mistake.

When they met, before I, Shao Yuan, could say anything, Cai Jiabao fell to his knees with a thud.

That quick and decisive action made Shao Yuan's eyes twitch.

"What are you doing?"

I, Shao Yuan, asked, holding my forehead.

Why does this guy like to kneel so much?

Do you have any backbone left?

"Your Majesty, I surrender myself and admit my mistake. I never thought you would go on the Sweet Journey. If I had known, I would never have gone back."

"Don't worry, now that I know you're also taking part in the Sweet Tour, I'm going to quit right now. Seriously, I swear."

Cai Jiabao raised three fingers, almost making a heartfelt promise.

quit?

Zhen Shao Yuan immediately said, "No, you can't withdraw. Your name has been announced. If you withdraw now, what will others think? Should we continue recording our Sweet Journey variety show?"

"You can't withdraw, and you must participate in this variety show."

I, Shao Yuan, looked at Cai Jiabao coldly with deep eyes.

Now, behind Shao Yuan, Si Yi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly picked up a fruit knife from the table next to him.

Then he pulled out a white handkerchief from his pocket.

While trying to wipe the fruit knife in his hand, he looked at Cai Jiabao's legs with a smile.

It seemed as if he would take action immediately as long as I, Shao Yuan, gave the order.

The cold eyes and the thing that was gently wiping the fruit knife made him look like a cold-blooded killer in a TV drama.

Cai Jiabao was so scared that he trembled.

"Go, I will definitely attend."

I, Shao Yuan, added, "You must also broadcast live for me properly. No mistakes can be made."

After all, I, Shao Yuan, have invested 20 million in this variety show.

That's all his wealth.

If something goes wrong, he will have to pay a huge price.

Si Yi, who was standing behind Shao Yuan, took the fruit knife in his hand and stabbed it into an apple in the fruit bowl on the table.

Cai Jiabao felt as if the knife had stabbed into his body.

He nodded quickly in shock.

"No, there will be absolutely no problem with me. I promise, I will do the live broadcast well, really."

Now Cai Jiabao agrees to whatever I, Shao Yuan, say.

He was afraid that if he was a second late, his legs would be gone and a knife would be stuck in his body.

Oh my god, this is so scary.

Woohoo, how unlucky he is to meet a devil like me, Shao Yuan.

This is all caused by lust for beauty.

Now Cai Jiabao is so frightened by me, Shao Yuan, that he has a phobia of beautiful women.

"Okay, nothing else, let's go."

"Okay, I'm going to get out right now, right now."

Cai Jiabao seemed to have been pardoned and quickly disappeared from my sight.

Looking at Cai Jiabao's back as if he was running for his life.

Zhen Shao Yuan touched his chin, turned around and asked Si Yi, "Was I that scary just now? Why is Cai Jiabao so scared?"

"Maybe he is just timid." Si Yi handed the peeled apple in his hand to Zhen Shao Yuan.

I, Shao Yuan, remembered that Cai Jiabao was also scared by me before.

Nodded.

"Well, that might be the case. I didn't expect that a man of his age would be so timid."

I, Shao Yuan, took the apple and found that it had split into two halves by itself.

He gave Si Yi a thumbs up and said, "Si Yi, you really understand me. You even know that I like to eat apples in two halves."

Si Yi just smiled at Zhen Shao Yuan without saying anything. Then she silently glanced at the fruit knife on the table.

The smile in his eyes deepened.
