That's just how the entertainment industry is. As long as the scandals don't cross moral or legal lines, other scandals can be turned into good situations with proper public relations, allowing artists to continue making big money in the industry.
Xu Miaotong's prediction was correct.
Although the bowl incident caused her to lose some fans and her reputation to suffer, through a series of actions and public relations efforts by her and her company, the matter has been settled and will not prevent her from continuing to be an internet celebrity and earn money, or from continuing to appear on this show.
After a while, new gossip will emerge, and the bowl incident will gradually be forgotten by everyone. Sooner or later, she will have a complete comeback.
But Xu Miaotong never expected that she wouldn't live to see that day...
...
Just as Xu Miaotong was trying to show that she also loved using cheap goods from street vendors, Chi Baiyi started packing her bags, preparing to head to the live broadcast location for the second season.
Qin Yuanyao had brought her packed suitcase with her, so she didn't need to unpack and just sat idly to the side.
Chi Baiyi packed his own luggage, and Chi Naozi also wanted to pack her own luggage, but the four elders insisted on doing it for her.
"It's getting hot now, and there are a lot of mosquitoes in the countryside, so you need to bring a few more pairs of long pants," Tang Jin muttered as she took several pairs of long pants from Chi Nao's wardrobe.
"Children sweat easily, and their clothes get wet quickly, so bring several sets of clothes for them to change into." Grandma Chi muttered as she took several sets of clothes from Chi Cheese's walk-in closet.
"Bring mosquito repellent, mosquito coil liquid, children's sunscreen, a rechargeable fan, and medicine to prevent heatstroke." Chi Hongzhou took a lot of medicine from the first-aid kit and stuffed it into his suitcase.
Grandpa Chi, with his hands behind his back, asked the PD about the situation.
"You have arranged for a doctor to accompany you, right?" Old Master Chi asked.
PD: "...There are village doctors in the village, and we have checked in advance, and the village doctors are all quite good."
"What if something unexpected happens and the village doctor can't treat the patient? How long will it take to get to the nearest top-tier hospital?" Grandpa Chi asked again.
PD: "...It seems like it will take an hour or two."
"It seems so?" Old Master Chi was displeased. "You haven't even figured these things out. How do you even prepare an emergency response plan for an accident?"
pd“…”
"Do you have an emergency plan for unexpected accidents? Surely you do?" Old Master Chi's face turned grim.
pd "...Uh..."
"Stop 'uh-huh'ing. If you can't utter a single word after all this time, then there's nothing to it. I've watched the replay of your last season's live stream, and you didn't mention any emergency response plan for unexpected incidents from beginning to end. Are you planning to do the same thing this season?! Go tell your show's director to immediately produce an emergency response plan for unexpected incidents and show it to me. Our Chi family has invested money in this; surely you can meet this small request?" Old Master Chi said with an air of authority.
The PD was so intimidated by his imposing manner that he shrank back, not daring to refute him, and could only reply, "Okay, okay."
Although Mr. Chi has been retired for decades, he still has the same commanding presence he had in the business world back in the day.
[Hahaha, Grandpa Chi is really direct. Our Chi family has invested money, so asking you to make an emergency plan for unforeseen circumstances isn't too much to ask, is it?]
Are investors these days so arrogant? They openly admit they've invested money on live stream and demand that the production team do things their way.
[Upstairs, have you forgotten about the celebrity who died on a show a few years ago because the production team's emergency response plan was inadequate? I'm siding with Mr. Chi. Nobody knows what might happen on a show. For the safety of the guests, the production team should definitely have a proper emergency response plan. That way, they won't regret it when something actually happens.]
I also support Mr. Chi. Mr. Chi's request is not wrong. Although Mr. Chi was thinking of his beloved great-granddaughter, having a well-prepared emergency plan benefits every guest.
The production team really failed in this regard. For such a large program, they didn't even have an emergency plan for unforeseen circumstances. They should have thought of this much earlier, instead of waiting for Mr. Chi to bring it up and put pressure on them before they implemented it.
When Director Jiang saw what Grandpa Chi said in the studio and the comments from the viewers in the live broadcast room, he quickly asked the relevant departments to make an emergency plan for unexpected accidents and sent it to the PD's phone so that the PD could show it to Grandpa Chi.
Old Master Chi read it very carefully, word by word, as if he were looking at a major contract involving a transaction worth hundreds of billions.
He pointed out many shortcomings in the plan and asked the PD to take it to the production team for revision.
After three or four revisions, Grandpa Chi was finally somewhat satisfied.
After packing their luggage, Qin Yuanyao and the other two got into the car prepared by the production team and set off for the live broadcast location of the second season—Wangshui Village.
This season is different from the last season. Instead of letting the guests find their own way to raise travel expenses, the production team will send them there.
The four elders stood in front of the door, reluctantly watching the car carrying them drive away.
After more than two hours, the production crew's vehicle took them to the entrance of Wangshui Village.
They were the first group to arrive; the other groups of guests had not yet arrived.
They need to wait here until all the guests have arrived before the production team can give them further instructions.
When they arrived at the entrance of Wangshui Village, it was almost 2 p.m., and the sun was blazing.
After only a short time in the sun, they felt as if all the moisture in their bodies had been evaporated.
"Let's wait there, it's shady there," Qin Yuanyao said, pointing to a tree by the roadside.
There are very few trees here, only two.
The tree Qin Yuanyao was pointing to was the one that was relatively larger and had a bit more shade.
Chi Baiyi nodded, and the three of them went to stand under the shade of the tree.
Although it is indeed cooler under the shade of the tree, it still feels hot after standing for a long time.
Qin Yuanyao fanned herself with her hand, and couldn't help but mutter to herself, "Why aren't the others here yet? Did they arrive so early? If I had known, they would have lingered at Chi Baiyi's house a little longer."
Suddenly, Chi Cheese put her suitcase on the ground, unzipped it, and pulled out a small blue handheld fan.
Chi Cheese pressed the switch, and a cool breeze immediately blew out from the handheld fan.
"Sister Qin, look!" Chi Nao held up her handheld mini fan high, pointing it at her mother. "Isn't it much cooler now?"
Qin Yuanyao did feel much cooler, but how could an adult like her fight with a child over the fan?
"Use it, don't overheat it," Qin Yuanyao said gently.
"Let's do it together!"
Chi Cheese wanted to point the small fan at both her and her mother.
But because she was short and her mother was tall, she could take care of her mother but not herself; and if she could take care of herself, she could not take care of her mother.
