Chapter 218 He Yao Forced to Withdraw

218:

Let's rewind to the moment the production team abruptly cut off the live broadcast.

Viewers in the live stream, seeing the screen suddenly go black, asked in confusion: "What happened?"

Why did the live stream suddenly stop?

[That can't be, it's not time to end the broadcast yet, is it?]

At this moment, the official Weibo account of "Look the Daddy" posted an explanation: "The signal is bad in the mountains, so the live stream is temporarily interrupted. Please don't worry, we will try our best to continue the live stream later!"

Netizens are all asking: "When will it be finished?"

Why hasn't it aired yet?!

【Ugh, when will we get to see it?!】

About an hour later, the live stream finally resumed.

But by this time, it's time for dads to start cooking for their babies.

Viewers in the live stream, seeing the screen reappear, exclaimed with relief: "Finally, it's broadcasting again!"

【I'm dying of waiting!】

[Xiao Xi is back! Kisses to Xi Bao~]

So why did He Yao suddenly speak up for Mu Shaowu just now? That's so strange!

Yes, and he kept referring to his "foster father," and I don't know if I'm overthinking it, but it just doesn't feel right.

[Absolutely! His constant use of "adoptive father" is practically a reminder to Xiaoxi that he's not her biological son!]

But He Yao is acting like he's defending Mu Shaowu. What's he after?!

[I don't understand. Oh well, never mind him. Let's just keep watching our adorable little Xi baby.]

【Uh-huh. 】

However, after only twenty minutes, while Mu Shaowu was demonstrating his wok-flipping skills, the live stream went black again.

audience:? ? ?

What exactly is going on?

【Ughhhh, why isn't it here again?!】

Will today's live stream even work?!

After that, the production team continued to broadcast live several more times, but the signal would always suddenly drop.

Finally, the production team posted a helpless message on Weibo: "We've admitted it, the signal was just too bad. We'll do a live broadcast next time [crying emoji]."

Netizens: !!!

Although this is beyond our control, can't we really try a little harder?!

[Aaaaaah, I can't accept this! I want to watch more!]

[It seems the production team really did their best!]

[Hopefully we can continue with live streaming next time!]

Although everyone felt regret, they also saw the sincerity of the production team time and time again, and knew that the places they went to were indeed remote, and that it was common for there to be no signal.

Therefore, no one connected the suspension of the live stream with Ye Qingxi and He Yao.

Three days later, the recording ended, and Ye Qingxi, Mu Shaowu, and He Yao all left the village and headed back.

On the way back, He Yao turned on his phone and discovered that the live broadcast had been forced to stop as early as the afternoon of the first day.

Not only that, but the few rare live streams with a signal didn't even capture him cooking!

This won't do!

He Yao was furious when he saw the burn marks on his hands!

Fortunately, he didn't rest for a single day during his break. Today he made scrambled eggs with tomatoes, tomorrow he made scrambled eggs with green peppers, and the day after he made potato slices. He practiced until his hands were injured. But when it was finally his turn to perform, the live stream was cut off!

That's all!

He Yao's liver was practically starting to hurt!

Oh well, he thought, it will be broadcast when it's recorded anyway, and the audience will see it naturally.

Moreover, the live stream will resume in the next episode, at which time he will still be able to showcase his culinary skills.

It's just a few more days, he can afford to wait.

However, He Yao soon realized that he couldn't afford to wait any longer!

"What did you say?!" He listened to his agent's words on the other end of the phone, feeling utterly incredulous. "They want me to quit? On what grounds?!"

"The program team's message is that your online reputation is too bad right now. Many people have sent private messages to the program team saying that if you don't withdraw, they will report you to the State Administration of Radio and Television, so the program team can't do anything about it."

He Yao:! ! !

He Yaocai didn't believe it. "There are plenty of cases like this, and no one else has quit. Why should I quit?!"

"Of course you messed with the wrong person!" the manager exclaimed helplessly.

He had received a notification from the program team that he wanted to try to help He Yao again, but before he could speak with Director Wang, he received a call from his boss's secretary.

The message from the phone call was clear: the boss had a lot of complaints about He Yao and didn't want to see him anymore.

The phrase "I don't want to see him again" is quite subtle.

For an actor, not wanting to see them again means being sidelined.

Otherwise, if you happen to catch a glimpse of it on TV, in a movie, or on a billboard someday, wouldn't that still be seeing it?

The agent, having clearly invested time and effort in him, asked politely, "Why? How does the boss know about him?"

He's not even the top two employees in the company, so how did the boss manage to remember him?

The secretary said gently, "The boss may not know him, but if someone else who can talk to the boss finds out, then the boss will know, won't he?"

Now the agent understood everything.

He Yao must have messed with someone he shouldn't have.

Since the boss has spoken, even if he regrets his sunk costs, he naturally won't invest any more energy in it.

So his agent advised him, "That's perfect, you didn't want to be on this variety show anyway, so just quit now."

"Are you kidding me?"

He Yao thought he was probably crazy!

"Have you forgotten the roadmap you laid out for me? Hit rock bottom and bounce back, first be smear me and then clear my name, a growth-oriented dad, and now what?! If I don't keep recording, how can I bounce back, how can I clear my name? In the public eye, I'll always be like this!"

The agent thought to himself, "What can I do?"

Could he possibly go against his boss?

Besides, he had done everything he could for He Yao, providing all the resources he could and trying every possible solution.

Even this variety show!

He also reminded He Yao to go see He Lei!

Not only that, he also took the initiative and snatched He Lei away for him from the obviously well-behaved and cute He Lei and the unpredictable Huo Zinan!

But he didn't cherish it at all. He didn't even go to see He Lei before the recording started, even though he knew she was a little girl. He didn't even learn how to braid hair beforehand.

If he were his biological father, that would be one thing. What a biological father does is a family matter, and outsiders shouldn't comment.

But he happens to be a temporary dad, and that's where things get interesting!

Especially since there's a contrast between Mu Shaowu, who isn't the biological father, and Hu Kai, who is also a temporary father.

This is where the problem lies!

“If you really care so much about what the public thinks, you should listen to me and go see He Lei from the beginning, cultivate a relationship with her, and learn about her preferences, instead of doing nothing. Now that things have come to this, there's nothing I can do.”

"How can you not have a solution?" He Yao retorted. "You're my manager, shouldn't you be trying to find a solution for me? I definitely won't quit recording at this time! I certainly won't quit recording without paying any penalty for breach of contract!"

broker:……

The agent hung up the phone immediately.

He can't do that.

If he doesn't quit the recording, what if the boss accidentally sees him on TV?

Wouldn't that be his fault again?

Instead of wasting time on this, you might as well train other actors; at least they're obedient!

Seeing that he had hung up the phone, He Yao angrily called back, but the agent did not answer.

He typed and sent messages rapidly, but received no reply.

The next day, the official Weibo account of "Look the Daddy" released a statement. The statement, which was three to five hundred words long, can be summarized as follows: Based on audience feedback, in order to promote positive social energy, reduce negative energy, and spread the positive value of parent-child variety shows, the production team will comply with public opinion and replace He Yao as the intern dad. The new intern dad has been negotiated and will officially start his job in the next episode. It is hoped that all dads, whether intern dads or not, will care for and love children.

This statement immediately became a trending topic upon its release.

Netizens are discussing it heatedly: 【Wow! Are they really going to replace He Yao?!】

[Aaaaaah! Great news! We're finally getting rid of him!]

I'm so damn happy! Finally, I don't have to put up with this rotten apple anymore!

[I can't believe there are actually production teams that take their audience this seriously!]

Congratulations, Leilei! You've finally overcome all your hardships!

Looking at the festive atmosphere on the trending topics, which was almost like setting off firecrackers, Ye Qingxi clicked her tongue and said, "He Yao's reputation is really bad right now!"

But who told him to be a hater of He Yao? So he was happy to see that He Yao wasn't liked!

Ye Qingxi was happily scrolling through Weibo when she saw He Yao suddenly retweet and comment on the program's Weibo post, saying: "Why should I quit? I didn't agree to this. We all signed contracts, and I hope your program will abide by them!"

Ye Qingxi: Wow~ He actually went head-to-head with me!

However, the next second, netizens flooded his Weibo with comments: "Don't you have any self-awareness about why we told you to quit?!"

If you don't have the skills, don't take on the job. You don't even like kids, so why are you on a parent-child reality show?

Did you apologize to Teacher Yang? Did you apologize? Did you apologize?

[You know you signed a contract! So why aren't you taking good care of Leilei? Why are you blaming her? Leilei is only four years old, and she's been very well-behaved. Why are you still blaming her?]

Seeing these comments, He Yao angrily replied to each one: "I've already taken good care of her!"

Who says I don't like her? I even learned to cook for her!

Why didn't I apologize?!

I was just anxious, I didn't really mean to blame her!

However, netizens didn't believe his nonsense. Not only did they not believe him, they also thought he was arrogant and self-important, and they started criticizing him even more fiercely!

He Yao had never experienced anything like this before, and was completely overwhelmed. He angrily smashed his phone.

When he calmed himself down and picked up his phone to continue speaking out for himself, he was surprised to find that he couldn't log in to Weibo!

He Yao tried several times, but the password was always wrong. At first, his mind was in a mess and he didn't realize what was happening, but then he finally understood that the company had changed his password.

They forbid him from using this account anymore!

He Yao simply couldn't understand why.

Aren't he and his company in the same boat?

Why would they do that?!

He Yao called his agent again.

The agent accepted the job this time.

"Why?!" He Yao demanded.

His agent gently advised him, "That's enough. If you keep making a scene, it won't be good for you."

"So I'm just supposed to accept their withdrawal?! Even if they withdraw, shouldn't I get the penalty for breach of contract?!"

"The production team said that they did not breach the contract; you breached the contract first, which is why they asked you to withdraw."

"Where did I breach the contract?!"

His agent sent him a photo.

He Yao looked down and saw a line underlined: "Party B is required to take good care of the intern baby provided by Party A, forming a temporary father-son/daughter relationship with the intern baby, and living together during the program's filming."

"So what?" He Yao asked, confused. "Didn't I live with her?"

"The production team means that you didn't take good care of He Lei."

He Yao:! ! ! !

"How could I not have taken good care of her?!"

“It’s no use yelling at me,” the manager said wearily. “The production team is now insisting that you didn’t take good care of her, and that the audience also thinks you didn’t take good care of her. What can I do? I say you did take good care of her, but nobody admits it!”

He Yao:......

"Give me back my Weibo account," He Yao said, feeling aggrieved.

"Impossible." The agent hung up the phone.

At that moment, He Lei's mother reposted the program team's statement and said: "[Thank you.]"

He Yao: !!! This is absolutely kicking someone when they're down!

How could she be so shameless?!

The next second, Mu Shaowu also reposted the program team's statement, his repost being much harsher than He Lei's mother's: 【Support! This kind of person should have been kicked out long ago!】

He Yao's anger was instantly ignited!

Why should he be the one to leave? Why wasn't it Mu Shaowu who had to leave?!

He actually used the word "get lost" to describe himself so openly; he's really not even pretending anymore!

If he hates himself so much, how much effort did he actually put into his forced withdrawal from the recording this time?!

That's true, he simply can't stand to see him doing well!

I can't stand to see him try to whitewash himself!

That's why he wanted to kick him out of the show as soon as possible!

He Yao sneered; he should have expected this.

His sister was forced to be eliminated when she was on the same show as Mu Shaoting, and now he is also forced to withdraw from the same variety show as Mu Shaowu. What a coincidence!

It was the Mu family who did all the dirty work behind the scenes!

They just want to suppress them!

He Yao pushed open the door and entered He Han's room. "He Han, tell me your Weibo account password!"
