Chapter 60: Western Fantasy Traveling Through Long Aotian
"...Brother Sun, this is really not my child."
"Really, don't scare me."
"Why would I lie to you? Besides, I'm only a few years old, how could I have a child this old?"
Long Haoyu held his forehead, closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair, with a gloomy look on his face that said "destroy this world".
Sun Tao did some calculations and realized that this age did seem a bit extreme. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Even if I believe it, netizens won't."
Long Haoyu's mouth twitched: "No, I'm already so obscure, and there are still people messing with me"
Brother, you are not obscure, you are black. Look at your face and ask yourself, how can you be obscure? Sun Tao complained in his heart.
Long Haoyu took out his cell phone. He wanted to see what was going on. After he finished browsing everything, he couldn't help but fold his hands on his forehead and fell into deep silence.
The two incidents of picking up Long Zixuan from the vegetable market and picking up Long Lingnan from the police station were turned into a drama of an irresponsible father who openly abandoned and abused his children and was even warned by the police station by unscrupulous marketing accounts using the strategy of "making up the truth with a picture at the beginning".
"Netizens can believe that I'm only 20 years old and I already have a five or six-year-old son."
Long Haoyu couldn't believe it. He really wanted to ask, is this all reasonable?
"Yes, so congratulations! You're now a scumbag who got a girl pregnant at the age of fifteen or sixteen."
Sun Tao's face was serious, as if he had seen through the ups and downs of life.
Long Haoyu: ...
He cursed inwardly, but still insisted, "How come so many people believe it when there's no evidence?"
"Brother, don't you see how bad your reputation is online? The incident with the assault on the set hasn't even gotten over it yet, brother."
Sun Tao was speechless. "You're in the middle of this storm. Do you know that people online are calling for you to quit the entertainment industry?"
Long Haoyu's eyes suddenly lit up. He held Sun Tao's hand, his eyes full of anticipation: "Brother, I can really quit!"
“You wish!”
Sun Tao pulled his hand away without hesitation, wiping it on his clothes in disdain. His eyes shone with a wolfish green light: "Brother, don't forget the million-yuan liquidated damages, okay? Black and red are still red. This wave of popularity comes at the perfect time, just in time to warm up for 'Where Are We Going, Baby?'"
"Maybe this is our chance to turn things around!"
puff--
Long Haoyu was drinking water at the time, and when he heard this, he almost spit it out in Sun Tao's face. He took out a piece of paper and wiped his face hastily, shocked:
"Brother Sun, you can't do that, absolutely not!"
He firmly refused to take the two children to the variety show, what if something went wrong?
Thinking of his cheap brother-in-law's fighting power, he shuddered. He was worried about everyone's life safety. This absolutely couldn't be allowed!
"Why not?" Sun Tao wondered, "You just said that these two children are your distant relatives, right?"
...actually not.
Long Haoyu nodded with difficulty.
Sun Tao clenched his fist and slammed it into his palm, saying excitedly, "That's it! Is there a better candidate than this?"
"He has a clean background, is close to you, and more importantly, doesn't cost a fortune!"
Money is the key, right?
Long Haoyu was too tired to complain. He knew it would be like this. It was because he and Sun Tao were both paupers.
"Wait, I remember you weren't an orphan, so where did your distant relatives come from?"
Sun Tao belatedly realized the blind spot, and he stared at Long Haoyu suspiciously with a look of wisdom in his eyes.
Why do I have such a good memory at this time?
Long Haoyu remained expressionless, his eyes slightly lowered, as if a bit sad. "Actually..." He quickly thought of how to make up a story, "When I entered the orphanage, although my parents had unfortunately passed away and were both only children in their families, I still had blood relatives beyond that. These two children were my aunt's children who offered to adopt me, but I... don't want to recognize anyone else as my parents."
Sun Tao was deeply moved when he heard this. He really deserved to die. How could he poke at the sore spot of his artist like this? Whenever he woke up in the middle of the night and thought about this incident, he wanted to slap himself.
Seeing Sun Tao's sympathetic eyes, Long Haoyu maintained a sad expression. Of course, the above was all his nonsense. He was thrown into an orphanage when he was born. Who knows who those irresponsible parents are?
"It's settled then. I'll go talk to the director!"
"You haven't given up yet, Brother Sun!"
……I see.
Long Lingnan listened from the side, seeming to be lost in thought.
The information we know so far is that his brother is an artist who is surrounded by negative news. He is now going to participate in a variety show called "Where Are We Going, Baby?" and needs children. Moreover, his brother is very short of money.
Isn't this just right?
Long Lingnan was overjoyed. She and her brother could just act as that child. Her train of thought successfully connected with Sun Tao's. She was not a real child, so she must be easy to take care of. She and her brother could take care of one child easily.
So, she happily raised her hand to speak, and successfully woke up Long Zixuan, who was leaning on her with his eyes closed and almost falling asleep.
"If I can do it, my brother can do it too!"
Long Zixuan rubbed his eyes. Although he didn't know what the imperial sister was talking about, he still nodded seriously based on the principle that "what the imperial sister said is right."
"What do you two kids know?"
Long Haoyu scratched his hair, picked up the remote control, turned on the small TV that had not worked for a hundred or eighty years, and signaled the children to play by themselves.
“Aren’t you a child too?”
Long Lingnan looked at him quietly.
This girl actually threatened him!
When their eyes met, Long Haoyu instantly understood what Long Lingnan meant. Damn it, he was actually threatened.
"Okay, Haoyu, you see the kids all agreed."
Sun Tao patted Long Haoyu on the shoulder in a friendly manner and said meaningfully, "Don't forget, this is the number the program team gave us."
He pointed a number at Long Haoyu, who was stunned: The money given over there was actually so much.
He was immediately caught in a dilemma: money or secret? That was the problem.
Finally, he squatted down and asked Long Lingnan: "Are you sure you want to take your brother with you and be obedient?"
Long Lingnan smiled innocently and nodded heavily.
She will definitely listen to what you say, but that doesn't mean she can't express herself freely, right?
"Okay." Long Haoyu stood up helplessly and said to Sun Tao, "Brother Sun, thank you for your help."
"It's not a bother, not a bother." Sun Tao smiled from ear to ear. He looked closely at the superior looks of Long Lingnan and Long Zixuan, and felt like he had found a treasure.
He earnestly warned Long Haoyu, "I have a feeling we can really turn things around this time. Don't hold me back, kid. This is an accurate premonition I've had for ten years."
Is this hunch accurate? Brother Sun, you said the same thing when you signed me two years ago.
Long Haoyu nodded perfunctorily. Also, why was he the one holding back?
Sun Tao is very motivated, but as a young man, Long Haoyu just wants to lie down. If Brother Sun had not done him a favor, he really doesn't want to be in the entertainment industry.
After seeing Brother Sun off, Long Haoyu dragged a chair to the bed and sat down, staring at the two brats and continuing the question that was interrupted by Brother Sun before, but was interrupted by Long Lingnan again.
"Brother, you are short of money"
Long Lingnan asked, blinking.
"Ah yes, what's wrong?"
Long Haoyu raised his eyebrows, wanting to see what tricks this girl was going to play on him.
Long Lingnan waved her hand, and countless gold and silver fell down, even mixed with many precious gems and crystals. The room full of jewels and treasures instantly dazzled Long Haoyu's eyes.
"Brother, I will support you."
Long Lingnan's childish but domineering voice rang out, and Long Haoyu was buried in the ocean of wealth in a daze, and his heart was shamefully moved.
As a brother, what's wrong with being supported by your sister? It's not against the law, right?
Seven days later, "Where Are We Going, Baby?" officially started preheating and announced the guest list, including Gu Yang who just won the title of Best Actor, veteran queen Chen Congmeng, rising star Ying Yiran, Shao Mingxu who just switched from singer to actor and wanted to enter the film and television industry, and Long Haoyu.
As soon as the guests were announced, there was a wave of heated discussion. The first season of "Where Are We Going, Baby?" became a national hit. Although the second season showed a slight decline, it still maintained its reputation. Therefore, netizens generally have positive expectations for the launch of the third season.
But Director Wang's ambition is obviously not to maintain the status quo. He is determined to recreate the glory of the first season in the third season. Therefore, he went against the opposition and invited the extremely controversial Long Haoyu to join the team.
With his vision, he could tell at a glance that this young man who seemed to have no motivation all day long had a deep-seated ruthlessness. Such a person would become famous sooner or later. It is better to provide timely assistance than to add icing on the cake. What's more, his program could also take advantage of Long Haoyu's popularity.
With the help of money, "Where Are We Going, Baby?" topped the trending search list, with the top comment being "Why did you invite Long Haoyu, a bad artist? Long Haoyu, get out of the entertainment industry!"
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Long Haoyu’s Weibo explained everything that happened before, including the so-called “abandoning his wife and children”, and promoted “Where Are We Going, Baby”, hoping that fans would support him, but netizens said “I don’t want to hear it”.
His Weibo was quickly flooded with insults from his haters who got the message. His true fans tried hard to control the comments, but the other side had a huge base, and it was like an ant trying to shake a tree, and it was useless.
But Long Haoyu may not be bad in other aspects, but his mentality is really good. He is never affected by bad comments. Let him scold as much as he wants, and he will just lie down and take the scolding.
Amidst anticipation and criticism, "Where Are We Going, Baby?" was launched on its own. Director Wang creatively used the full live broadcast mode for this program, which immediately set off a craze in the variety show industry where recorded broadcasts are common, and attracted many viewers who were curious about this type of mode.
The five guests each had five live broadcast rooms, where they competed in real-time popularity. Before the show officially started, the five live broadcast rooms were quietly facing the same room with blue and purple sofas on the left and right. The first person to enter the room was the movie star Gu Yang, who brought his nephew Tang Dou.
“I didn’t expect that I would be the first one.”
Gu Yang's handsome eyebrows curved slightly, and he sat on the blue sofa on the left holding the little Tangdou who was still asleep, and gently patted Tangdou's back to coax her.
Afterwards, the queen Chen Congmeng walked into the room gracefully holding the hand of her little daughter Yiyi. Seeing Tangdou who was still sleeping, she smiled knowingly, nodded to Guyang, and sat down quietly on the sofa opposite. Yiyi looked at her brother over there curiously, but leaned against her mother politely and just looked at him.
A few minutes later, Shao Mingxu, with his younger brother Ranran, and Ying Yiran, holding the child star Le Cheng's hand, also arrived at the scene. At this time, there were still fifteen minutes before the official start time.
Three minutes before the start, Long Haoyu finally arrived with Long Lingnan and Long Zixuan. He was yawning and looked sleepy. He looked at the group of people in the room who were all looking at them, and suddenly had a bad premonition.
It seems, probably, perhaps, he will be scolded again
So, why should we waste time? We all go to work and have part-time jobs. Can't we all arrive on time?
Long Haoyu had a smile on his face, but he was secretly complaining in his heart.
【Author’s words】
At this time, Long Xiuqi searched the entire palace: No, where is my dear child?
