"Hello, sir. What would you like for breakfast?"
The flight attendant stopped in the aisle pushing the food cart, bent over and asked softly.
Jiang Dao withdrew his gaze from the window: "What can we eat?"
Before the stewardess could answer, the agent sitting next to Jiang Dao raised his hand to interrupt: "Nothing, thank you."
"Why not?" Jiang Dao frowned in dissatisfaction, "I came out so early today and I haven't had time to eat. Skipping breakfast is bad for my stomach, I..."
Zhu Yao took out a thermos from his bag and stuffed it into Jiang Dao's arms.
"I made you a meal replacement powder in the terminal earlier." His face was indifferent. "Just eat a few bites. You have to record the variety show today, and you know the process. Now you are full, will you eat when you record the variety show later?"
Jiang Dao weighed it for a moment and replied, "Even if I had breakfast, I should be able to eat it in a while."
The variety show he is going to record today is called "Go, Eaters!" " is a program that searches for local specialties. The guests will be divided into groups to compete. Only the winners can taste the specialties cooked by local celebrity chefs, and the losers can only eat steamed buns and pickles.
But no matter whether you win or lose, you have to eat a lot in variety shows.
"It doesn't matter whether you can eat it or not." Zhu Yao had a blank expression. "What matters is that you gain weight easily. You've already gained two kilograms this week, and you still have to record the "Eater Man" today. Next week you can only eat salad, two meals a day, and each body-sculpting class will have to add an hour."
Hearing this, Jiang Dao pursed his lips speechlessly, unscrewed the thermos cup and took a sip of the meal replacement paste, making a few strange hums from his nose.
This world is so strange. There are so many delicious foods to enjoy, but we force ourselves to eat grass. Whenever he came across such plots in books, he always found it unbelievable, but now he has finally encountered it.
——Who made him travel into such a book?
He once struggled in the end times with scarce resources, frequent disasters and the destruction of civilization, and eventually died in an extremely tragic defending battle.
If he had known that he would be transported into a book after dying in battle, Jiang Dao thought, he should have traded two cans of meat for a history book, and maybe he could have become a noble for fun.
Unfortunately, he was too food-conscious at the time and was reluctant to exchange food for books. He just kept the romance novel he picked up as entertainment in his spare time. Now he could only compromise with the various rules in the novel - for example, if he could not pay the penalty for breach of contract, he had to obey the company's arrangements.
Fortunately, the variety show he is going to record today is "Eat Food Man". When he first read this, he was envious of the various delicious foods described, otherwise he really wanted to skip work.
"Be good today and stop making trouble."
Seeing Jiang Dao's expression was not right, Zhu Yao immediately became alert: "The reason why the role in "Love" can be settled is because the script was originally invested by our company. It makes no difference whether the role is given to Zhou Wei or you, after all, they are both artists of our Xinghe. Today is different. I fought hard to get you this opportunity. If you make trouble again..."
"If I make trouble again, will you hide me?" Jiang Dao suddenly got excited.
If making another fuss could buy his freedom, then not recording the people who were eating was a sacrifice he could make - he couldn't afford to miss another opportunity just to protect his food!
"If you make trouble again, you will be considered in breach of contract and will be fined." Zhu Yao raised his hand and pushed his glasses, his tone cold.
He had figured out that Jiang Dao had been going crazy lately and had been wanting to withdraw from the entertainment industry, even going so far as to give up the role in an online drama that he had fought so hard to get.
However, for an artist like Jiang Dao who has outstanding looks and temperament and is highly recognizable, since he has been discovered by a scout and the company has invested in his training, the company will never allow him to retire before his value has been exhausted. Even if you are cursed by everyone, you have to remain popular for a few years.
Since Xue Zang cannot threaten Jiang Dao, it is better to just seize what he needs most right now - money.
A few days ago, when the kid asked him how much liquidated damages he had to pay to terminate the contract, Zhu Yao understood that if he wanted Jiang Dao to be obedient, money was the key.
Sure enough, when Jiang Dao heard that he was going to be fined, he immediately wilted.
"Okay." He slumped in the seat like a boneless person, his head against the window, and said lazily with a long tone, "I will just record the variety show well today, don't worry."
Since he can't be free for a while, he must eat all the delicious food in today's show!
No one could snatch the food from him - let alone the comfortable world in the book, even in the apocalyptic wasteland, he had never lost a battle to defend food!
Seeing that Jiang Dao suddenly became full of fighting spirit again, Zhu Yao became even more worried.
"You don't have to act so pretentiously." He quickly reminded, "Among the regular guests on this show, two are your seniors, so you should be respectful. They also invited Teacher Chu this time, so you should be even more polite, understand?"
"Teacher Chu? Who is he?" Jiang Dao asked casually, not really caring.
"Chu Yinlong." Zhu Yao replied.
"Hmm?" Jiang Dao frowned, "I don't have any impression..."
He only remembered that the two male protagonists of the novel, Zhou Wei and Tang Yao, were in today's episode of the variety show "Ganfanren".
It was precisely because Zhou Wei became a new permanent member of this season of Ganfanren that she came into contact with Tang Yao. The two gradually developed feelings for each other, and the ups and downs of the love story in the book were born.
As for Jiang Dao, in the original novel, he was actually a villain who made things difficult for the protagonist Zhou Wei at every turn.
This is also the reason why he immediately returned the role that the original owner had snatched to Zhou Wei after he traveled to Jiang Dao's body - in the plot of the novel, due to various changes, the role finally fell into Zhou Wei's hands. He didn't want to fight for it in the first place, so it would be better to return it to its original owner as soon as possible so that he could live in peace and comfort.
After struggling for so many years in the apocalypse, fighting against the heaven, the earth and people, he was already tired. He was lucky enough to travel to a peaceful and tranquil world, and he didn't want to fight hard just to maintain his identity as a hateful villain.
Eat delicious food, visit tourist attractions, find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to grow vegetables and raise fish, play with cats and dogs... Isn’t this kind of life wonderful?
As for the name "Chu Yinlong", Jiang Dao really has no impression of it.
Probably just a supporting role?
"You don't remember?" Zhu Yao was surprised. "Teacher Chu just won the Best Actor award two days ago, and it's still trending on the search list. You don't remember? How dare you not remember!"
As he said that, he quickly opened the tablet, found Chu Yinlong's information, and handed it to Jiang Dao, reminding him: "Remember his preferences, don't step on landmines. Also, be respectful to him!"
Jiang Dao took the tablet, glanced at it lazily, and curled his lips: "You don't look that old, but you can't be bothered by respecting the elderly and loving the young."
Zhu Yao: ...
Seeing Jiang Dao's disapproving expression, Zhu Yao sneered: "Teacher Chu has a bad temper and knows real kung fu. If you really provoke him, you'll see him in the hospital once he throws a punch."
"I also!"
Jiang Dao was about to say that he was also good at fighting, but when he looked at his small body now, and thought about the fact that his previous self before traveling through time could break such thin arms and legs with one blow, he suddenly stopped talking.
"I...if I practice more, I will be able to fight in the future."
Zhu Yao immediately grasped the point: "Okay! If the modeling teacher comes to me again and says that you skipped class, I will fine you."
Jiang Dao threw the tablet back into Zhu Yao's arms and snorted.
"Shaping class, what's the point of that little bit of training?" He snorted, "Sooner or later I will train... until I can run 50 kilometers in one breath."
Even if there is no war in this world, he will feel safe if he keeps fit.
After hearing Jiang Dao’s goal, Zhu Yao got even more headache.
He never imagined that the artist under his management had recently been thinking about retiring, and the reason was to participate in a marathon?
…
Two hours later, the plane landed in Nagisa City.
The filming location for this episode is a resort on the outskirts of Nagisa City, a two-hour drive from the airport.
By the time they finally arrived at the filming location, Jiang Dao was so hungry that he didn't want to talk.
He felt that he must have been possessed by a demon, which was why he listened to Zhu Yao and did not force himself to eat breakfast on the plane. He thought that by traveling into the book, he would not have to go hungry, but he did not expect that fate would play such a big joke on him.
There must be something wrong in this world where people starve themselves even though they have the opportunity to eat their fill.
Jiang Dao was dragged by the stylist to do his makeup and hair, which lasted for more than half an hour. Then the assistant director and cameraman arranged for him to shoot an entrance shot. It was not until nearly eleven o'clock that he was finally brought into the lounge by the camera and met several guests who were going to record the show together today.
He had met Zhou Wei at Xingyao Media when he had just transmigrated here. The big boy looks well-behaved and clean, with a very fresh youthful air and outstanding temperament. No wonder he can become the protagonist of a romance novel.
The man standing next to Zhou Wei at this moment was probably Tang Yao. He was just as described in the book, with broad shoulders, narrow waist, long legs, and a dandy face that attracted many men.
As for the other two, one was the only female artist on the scene. According to Zhu Yao, her name was Yi Bailu; the other was a senior comedian with a happy face, her name was Lu Yun. These two people did not have a strong presence in the original book, and Jiang Dao did not have much impression of them.
Jiang Dao looked between the several people twice, but he didn't see the "Teacher Chu". I don’t know why he was late or if the actor was just being a big shot.
But, that's not a big deal.
Now, the most important thing in Jiang Dao’s eyes is that there are yogurt and biscuits provided by sponsors in the lounge, and Zhu Yao is not allowed to come to the lounge!
