TV Station
The "Cottage in the Country" show is monitoring ratings changes in real time.
"Director, it's going up, it's going up, the ratings have already exceeded 2 after just 20 minutes of broadcasting."
The director laughed and said, "It turns out that the audience prefers to hear celebrity gossip."
This section is when the guests play truth or dare.
The ratings remained stable until Du Yuanzhe sang, when there was another big fluctuation, rising by 0.2%. When Du Yuanzhe proposed selling peaches and hiring villagers as drivers, the ratings rose to 2.5%, breaking the record of this season of "The Cottage".
When the horse racing segment between Du Yuanzhe and Jiang Chelin was shown, the ratings went over 3, completely breaking the record of “The Cottage” since its inception.
The director sighed: "Du Yuanzhe is really a lucky star. I didn't expect it to break three. I guessed that Jiang's appearance would increase the ratings, but I didn't expect the audience to like Du Yuanzhe so much. He has Xia's protection, so it seems that we have to build a good relationship with him."
The assistant said: "Director, we almost offended Du Yuanzhe before. After all, he comes from a distinguished family. Is he willing to reconcile with us?"
The director groaned and said, "Let's show him some kindness first, and test it out."
......
After Zhou Chenlang hung up the phone with Jiang Chelin, he looked at You Yingxue beside him and said, "Yingxue, you snatched two endorsements from Wei Lingling?"
You Yingxue was stunned for a moment, then pursed her lips and nodded.
Zhou Chenlang held her hand and said softly, "Do you have any difficulties?"
You Yingxue said: "Some time ago, Wang Linxuan suddenly found me and said that she could help me get more resources, but the premise was that I had to help her deal with Wei Lingling."
"I didn't agree at first. I thought Wang Linxuan had bad intentions. But when she saw that I didn't agree, she directly ruined the new drama I had planned. Everyone knows that she has to be favored by Mr. Chiang. Unless Mr. Chiang comes forward, no one in the company is willing to offend her."
"I had no choice but to agree to her provisionally. I wanted to fool her for a while, but when Wang Linxuan heard that I was going to be on a variety show with Wei Lingling, she asked me to target Wei Lingling in the show, so that she would be willing to believe me."
"I can only do what I am told. These two endorsements are the rewards given to me by Wang Xianxuan."
You Yingxue leaned into Zhou Chenlang's arms, her tone full of fear: "Chenlang, what does Wang Linxuan want to do? I'm very scared of her now."
Zhou Chenlang's eyes flickered slightly, as if he believed her words, and his tone was still gentle: "Wang Linxuan wants to be Mrs. Jiang, but Che Lin likes Wei Lingling. She regards Wei Lingling as a stepping stone to her promotion."
"Does President Jiang really like Wei Lingling?"
You Yingxue looked up in shock, then said with a look of sudden realization, "No wonder Wang Linxuan told me to mention Chiang Kai-shek in front of Wei Lingling. I thought it was just Wang Linxuan being too suspicious."
Zhou Chenlang said: "This is Che Lin's privacy. I didn't tell you before. They have broken up now, so it doesn't matter if I tell you."
"Break up?"
You Yingxue was surprised again: "President Jiang doesn't like Wei Lingling anymore?"
Zhou Chenlang shook his head: "You may not believe it, but it was Wei Lingling who broke up with us. Che Lin wanted to get back together but Wei Lingling ignored him."
You Yingxue was stunned and said, "Is this all true? What is Wei Lingling thinking?"
Zhou Chenlang sighed: "Who knows what's in that woman's head? Anyway, their relationship is very complicated now. Che Lin likes Wei Lingling very much. If you deal with Wei Lingling, it will definitely anger Che Lin. He may not pursue it this time for my sake, but there will be no way if it happens again."
You Yingxue said bitterly: "I don't want to target Wei Lingling. You know I just want to act well, but what about Wang Lianxuan?"
Zhou Chenlang thought for a moment and said, "I'll help you get a role in a play. You can go to the crew to film and hide from Wang Yanxuan. I'll also tell Che Lin about this so that he won't misunderstand you."
You Yingxue threw herself into Zhou Chenlang's arms and said happily: "Chenlang, you are so nice, I love you."
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He hadn't changed. He was still the Zhou Chenlang who obeyed her orders.
Zhou Chenlang stroked her hair gently, his eyes dim and unclear: "I love you, too."
......
Jiang's Old House
Wang Lianxuan was sitting on the dressing table, arranging the cosmetics on the table.
[Host, I have told you many times that you cannot act rashly. It is meaningless to snatch Wei Lingling's two endorsements.]
Wang Lianxuan snorted, "Don't try to be nice after getting an advantage. The luck you snatched is all real."
[This bit of luck is a drop in the bucket for the heroine. What I want is all of her luck. Your cooperation with You Yingxue is a good move. That woman has great ambitions. If she wants to climb up, she needs to work for you.]
Wang Lianxuan said, "If I were not in the entertainment industry, why would I let You Yingxue take advantage of me? Now that Wei Lingling has broken up with Jiang Chelin, should I find an opportunity to take advantage of her?"
[Host, don't worry. Now is not the right time. You should take this opportunity to snatch the most important play for the heroine. That is the foundation for her future success. You must not let her successfully star in that play.]
Wang Xianxuan nodded: "Then I'll listen to you."
At this moment, Jiang Chelin called.
Wang Lianxuan's face lit up: "Che Lin..."
"Who gave you the courage to snatch Lingling's endorsement?"
Wang Lianxuan's face froze.
"Che Lin, I..."
"Cancel your art exhibition. If you have the guts, stay in the old house and don't come out. If you dare to come out, you will have to pay the price for what you did. You can also complain to Grandpa, but you'd better think it through. Grandpa can't protect you forever!"
After saying this, Jiang Chelin hung up the phone.
Wang Lianxuan's expression suddenly turned fierce: "Is he confining me?"
She no longer cared whether to hold the exhibition or not, but she found it hard to accept that Jiang Chelin had grounded her.
[I've said before that Jiang Chelin is not easy to mess with. You can't do anything about the next thing, otherwise Jiang Chelin may no longer care about Mr. Jiang.]
Wang Lianxuan frowned: "Then how will it affect the next drama that Huang Weilingling is taking on?"
[I will use up my luck to make this move, so that no one can find you. However, the luck I have taken from you before may not be enough, so I need to borrow your luck.]
Wang Lianxuan asked, "What effect will borrowing luck have on me?"
[I'm just borrowing some. It won't affect you. Just look at Wei Lingling and you'll know.]
Wang Lianxuan thought so too. She had snatched Wei Lingling's luck, but perhaps because it was too little, it did not affect her.
"Okay, use it. It would be best if Wei Lingling is ruined."
Wang Lianxuan gritted her teeth. She didn't believe that Jiang Chelin would like a woman with a bad reputation.
......
Flower Lake Apartment
Du Yuanzhe lay on the bed with his forehead in his hands. He couldn't believe that he was almost raped by Xia Ningmi just now. Who could have imagined that the cold and aloof Xia Ningmi could be even crazier than him when she was aroused.
If Xia Ningmi's relative hadn't come unexpectedly, the two of them might have gone to the last step just now due to their loss of control and madness, and the location would have been on the sofa in the living room.
[Host, please note that the heroine's first important time node is coming soon]
Du Yuanzhe sat up suddenly: "So you are still here, if you didn't say anything I would have thought you disappeared. Since you are so passive and lazy, won't the company deduct your performance?"
[Host, please pay attention, the heroine...]
Du Yuanzhe interrupted and said, "I've heard it. You're not a repeater, so there's no need to repeat yourself. I have something to ask you."
[Host, please speak]
"What can I do to destroy the luck-plundering system?"
[As the name suggests, the Luck Plundering System is powered by Luck. If you don't get Luck for more than half a year, it will destroy itself.]
[But the luck plundering system can not only plunder the heroine's luck, but also plunder the luck of the host. However, plundering the luck of the host requires the consent of the host.]
[If the person it is hosting is willing to consume his own luck to support it, then it will not be destroyed before its host's luck is exhausted.]
[On the contrary, if the person it is living in is unwilling to give him luck, and it fails to plunder the luck of the heroine for more than half a year, it will be destroyed.]
Du Yuanzhe asked: "Isn't this system capable of robbing other people's luck?"
【cannot】
"Why?"
[Limited by the rules of this world]
Du Yuanzhe laughed: "Your words are not very convincing. The rules of the world do not protect the heroine's luck, but protect the supporting characters and passers-by?"
[The heroine is the lucky child of this world. Her luck is a gift from this world, which will allow her to turn danger into safety at critical moments. Correspondingly, she needs to face those who covet her luck. This is also one of the rules of the world.]
Du Yuanzhe still felt something was wrong: "The Luck Plundering System should be considered an external enemy, right?"
[So it must reside in the people of this world to work.]
"It's a cover-up, I understand." The smile in Du Yuanzhe's eyes disappeared: "Just like you."
The system did not speak.
"One of you wants to protect the heroine, and the other wants to destroy her, so you should be considered enemies. You can detect the existence of the Luck Plundering System, but it can't detect your existence?"
[We were both unaware of each other's existence, but I was able to sense it for some special reason]
Du Yuanzhe narrowed his eyes and said, "So you were lying to me when you said it had no intelligence?"
The system is playing dead!
Du Yuanzhe said angrily: "If you want me to protect the heroine, you should at least be honest, right?"
[There are some things that I cannot tell the host the truth unless the host guesses it himself. This is an agreement I made with someone.]
Du Yuanzhe's eyes were blazing with anger: "Which bastard made this agreement? Did I provoke him?"
[The host will know in the future]
The tone of the system's words was inexplicitly strange.
Seeing that the question was not going to answer, Du Yuanzhe temporarily changed the subject and asked another question that concerned him: "What will happen when the luck is exhausted?"
[Everyone in this world has luck. Without luck, you will not be recognized by this world, and the origin of the world will be automatically wiped out.]
Du Yuanzhe felt a chill in his heart. Luck actually related to people's lives. He thought it was just bad luck.
If that's the case, then it's still not right.
Du Yuanzhe frowned: "I have become Du Yuanzhe. Logically, I should have good fortune. Why would the origin of the world still wipe me out?"
【......】
The system was silent again.
Du Yuanzhe was angry: "You lied to me again?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Du Yuanzhe felt a pang of pain in his heart, so painful that he felt like he was going to die.
The pain lasted for a full minute before it disappeared. Du Yuanzhe was drenched in sweat, and his face was gloomy: "It's not the origin of the world that will wipe me out, but you!"
What a bullshit time and space stowaway, this is all the system's trick to deceive him.
The system said nothing.
Du Yuanzhe laughed angrily: "Aren't you afraid that I will give up and not complete your mission?"
【You are concerned】
Du Yuanzhe clenched his fists: "You think you can beat me, right?"
The next moment, he seemed to hear the system sigh.
[The child of luck is extremely important to this world. Once the heroine's luck is completely plundered, the consequences will be disastrous. You don't want to see that scene.]
[If I don't threaten the host's life, the host probably won't take me seriously. We have already experienced the consequences... I won't do anything to harm the host. I hope the host won't insist on his own way and protect the heroine's luck.]
Du Yuanzhe's eyes were still cold. It was impossible for anyone to have no qualms about the existence that controlled their life and death.
[I am not omnipotent. I cannot control a person's life or death. The host is the only exception.]
Du Yuanzhe sneered: "You mean I am unlucky."
[The reason why the host is an exception is because you gave me this right yourself.]
Du Yuanzhe was stunned: "What did you say!"
Inexplicably, he thought of the terrifyingly realistic dreams he had had in the past.
The system did not speak again. After a long silence, Du Yuanzhe said softly, "Just protect the luck of the heroine, right?"
【right】
"I'll do it."
Du Yuanzhe's eyes were firm.
Although the system has always asked him to protect the heroine's luck, Du Yuanzhe didn't take it too seriously before, and mostly left it to Jiang Chelin to handle.
But now he knew he had to give it his all.
He still has no intention of saving the world, he just wants to protect the people around him.
He wants to grow old with Qiqi!
This wish buried deep in his heart has never changed.
......
The next morning, Du Yuanzhe got up and made breakfast for Xia Ningmi.
Xia Ningmi saw the blue in his eyes and said, "We can continue after my period is over."
She thought Du Yuanzhe suffered from insomnia because she provoked him and he didn't put out the fire.
Du Yuanzhe knew she had misunderstood but didn't explain. He said, "You make it sound like I'm anxious. I don't know who was in such a hurry last night that I didn't even have time to go back to the bedroom."
Xia Ningmi's expression remained unchanged: "Food and sex are human nature."
Du Yuanzhe placed the breakfast in front of her and said, "It always feels a bit awkward when you say that."
Anyone who sees Xia Ningmi will not think that she is greedy for love. In fact, Xia Ningmi not talking about love is more in line with people's judgment of her.
Xia Ning looked up and raised her eyebrows: "Do you know me well?"
Du Yuanzhe loved the way she had everything under control, and he lowered his head and kissed her: "I'm figuring it out."
Xia Ningmi raised the corner of her mouth and said, "Let's eat."
Du Yuanzhe sat next to her and asked with concern: "Are you feeling unwell? Why don't you not go to work today?"
Xia Ning said: "I'm fine."
Du Yuanzhe smiled and said, "When I first lived with you, I wondered if you had stomach problems or something, but I didn't expect you to be healthier than me."
They have lived together for such a long time, and Xia Ningmi has never been sick.
“Why do you think I have a stomach problem?”
"Because workaholics generally have stomach problems."
For example, Jiang Chelin before he met Wei Lingling.
Xia Ningmi calmly corrected him, "People with stomach problems are those who have unhealthy diets. It has nothing to do with work intensity."
Although she is a workaholic, she eats very healthily and never misses three meals a day. The food she eats is delivered by big hotels, which is different from the take-out delivered by small workshops.
Du Yuanzhe praised: "Qiqi is doing very well, keep it up."
Xia Ningmi was not used to his tone, so she frowned and asked, "Are you coaxing a child?"
Du Yuanzhe said innocently: "I was just flattering you."
Xia Ning glanced at him without saying anything. He would always act weird from time to time.
After breakfast, Xia Ningmi went to work, and Du Yuanzhe had the opportunity to take out his mobile phone to check the online reactions after the variety show was broadcast.
# Jiang Chelin Du Yuanzhe#
As soon as Du Yuanzhe opened Weibo, he saw that the entry with his and Jiang Chelin's names dominated the top trending searches.
This was completely beyond Du Yuanzhe's expectations.
When he clicked on the trending search, his face turned dark.
The marketing account actually took the lead in supporting him and Jiang Chelin as a couple. Is he crazy? Isn’t he afraid of being banned by Jiang Chelin?
"Hahahaha, I knew I could find someone who shares the same interests as me. From the moment I saw Du Yuanzhe and General Jiang riding side by side in black and white riding costumes, my fujoshi soul was awakened. Oh my god, these two are a perfect match."
"A handsome man paired with another handsome man is the right way. One is handsome and the other is cold and arrogant. They are a match made in heaven."
“Wuwuwuwu, please have mercy on the children and produce more food. There are ready-made materials here.”
Du Yuanzhe's face turned even darker after reading the comments.
The guys who like to watch the fun and never mind the trouble, there are so many guests who don't want to support him and Jiang Chelin's couple, are they blind?
Based on the principle of out of sight, out of mind, Du Yuanzhe withdrew from this hot search and saw that the entry #鄭晓腎虛# ranked second in the hot search.
Du Yuanzhe smiled with satisfaction. He knew that Zheng Xiao's opponents would not let him go. After this incident, Zheng Xiao would never be able to get rid of the reputation of having a weak kidney.
In the comments below, many people speculated about the reason why Zheng Xiao had kidney deficiency. Because his ex-girlfriend was mentioned in the program, many people thought of the previous sister-in-law incident. For a while, the comments were full of ridicule for Zheng Xiao and accusations of his irresponsibility.
However, this is not real evidence about Zheng Xiao's character after all. This kind of hot search can only make Zheng Xiao ridiculed by the whole network, and it does not have a big impact on his fame.
Of course, for a petty person like Zheng Xiao, this hot search will make him uncomfortable for a long time.
Du Yuanzhe continued to look down at the trending searches, and suddenly his eyes froze.
#The dialogue between Wei Lingling and Du Yuanzhe has a special meaning#
He clicked on it and saw that it was a clip of him and Wei Lingling teasing each other. The marketing account analyzed the conversation sentence by sentence and felt that there was a high possibility that the two of them were in love.
"I had the same feeling when I saw this part. They are friends and it is not impossible for them to fall in love. I also think that the four of them know each other."
"Alas, I was originally a fan of Du Yuanzhe and Wei Lingling, but this conversation broke my fantasy. It's obvious that these two have their own partners."
"Wei Lingling, I dare not say it, but Du Yuanzhe is in love. Now the whole internet knows about it. If you don't believe it, you can look at the number one trending search."
Du Yuanzhe took a deep breath, wishing he could eliminate these heretics who were against him and Jiang Chelin. Why were these people still running around?
However, these marketing accounts really make money by gaining popularity, and their sharp eyesight should not be underestimated. They actually guessed that both he and Wei Lingling have partners.
Thanks to the fact that neither he nor Wei Lingling were famous, and there was no one pushing it behind the scenes, this entry only made it to the bottom of the trending search list, where it fell off the list after a short while, and did not attract much attention.
You should be more careful with what you say in the future.
After reading the hot searches, Du Yuanzhe thought about it and called Jiang Chelin to inquire about the outcome of You Yingxue's bid for Wei Lingling's endorsement.
Jiang Chelin said: "You Yingxue said that she was threatened by Wang Linxuan and did not intentionally target Lingling. Chen Lang personally vouched for her, so I will not pursue her for the time being."
"After being warned by me, Wang Linxuan will not dare to leave the old house for a short time."
Du Yuanzhe asked: "Didn't you compensate Lingling?"
Hearing this, Jiang Chelin said in a depressed tone: "She doesn't want it."
Du Yuanzhe frowned, not knowing how much luck he had lost from the two endorsements.
“Did you see the trending searches?”
Jiang Chelin was puzzled: "What?"
Du Yuanzhe snorted coldly: "Go and see for yourself, quickly remove the trending search, and don't let my reputation be affected."
Chiang Group
Jiang Chelin hung up the phone, opened the Weibo hot search, and saw the extremely eye-catching hot search at a glance.
He called his assistant in with a sullen look on his face: "Why didn't you tell me about the trending search?"
The assistant whispered, "You said before not to bother you about anything."
Jiang Chelin used his assistant's cell phone to call Wei Lingling, wanting to introduce her to two better endorsements, but Wei Lingling did not appreciate it and even blocked the assistant's phone number.
He was in a bad mood and asked everyone not to disturb him.
Jiang Chelin was so angry when he saw the comments online that he wanted to kill someone: "Remove the trending search immediately. From now on, this kind of term cannot appear on the trending search list."
"Yes, President."
Flower Lake Apartment
Du Yuanzhe felt much better when he saw that the trending search was gone. Jiang Chelin had a lot of money, so he should be the one to remove the trending search.
"Yuanzhe, I have an endorsement for you."
After answering the call, Liu Xu immediately said.
Du Yuanzhe: "Is this endorsement good?"
Otherwise, Liu Xu would have directly rejected it for him without calling him to ask for his opinion.
Liu Xu said: "It's a quasi-first-tier watch endorsement. Even if you become famous thanks to "Legend of Yun Lan", the endorsements you can get are probably of this level."
Du Yuanzhe asked: "Normally speaking, I shouldn't be accepting this kind of endorsement now."
Liu Xu nodded: "I have inquired carefully. This endorsement was introduced to you by the director of "The Little House"."
Du Yuanzhe raised his eyebrows: "Is he actively trying to show his goodwill?"
Liu Xu said: "Last night, the ratings of "The Country House" exceeded 3. Your value has been demonstrated. He should want to resolve the previous conflict with you."
After watching this episode of "The Country House", any discerning person can see that most of the highlights are on Du Yuanzhe.
Of course, the most important thing is Xia Ningmi's attitude.
Du Yuanzhe asked, "Brother Liu, what do you think I should do?"
Liu Xu said: "This is how the entertainment industry works. It is common to flatter the powerful and bully the weak. We are not making friends with them, we are just exchanging interests."
Du Yuanzhe understood what Liu Xu meant and said, "Then agree to it."
Being able to give a quasi-first-tier endorsement, this apology is very sincere.
Du Yuanzhe has been in the entertainment industry for a long time. He knows very well that there are no permanent friends or permanent enemies. The only difference is the amount of benefits.
He and the "Butterfield 8" production team were just about to become enemies, but it didn't happen in the end. The production team didn't have a negative impact on him. The director gave him an endorsement, and he walked down the stairs, and the matter was over.
After getting Du Yuanzhe's consent, Liu Xu hung up the phone and went to deal with the endorsement matter.
Du Yuanzhe's eyes were deep.
His career has just started, but he has already gained a bad reputation for being petty. If there is a chance to return the favor in the future, he will not hesitate. At worst, he will just give a big gift and take the initiative to reconcile.
