As a gentle morning breeze stirred, many people emerged from the hotel, carrying cameras and getting ready. This variety show really tests the guests' looks and performance, because there's no lighting, and the live broadcast might not guarantee high ratings. There will also be edited replays at the end.
The director was quite satisfied with the people Mo Chen introduced. They were good-looking, had some famous backgrounds, and most importantly, he knew about the Xi family. Maybe the Xi family would be so happy that they would invest millions. Just thinking about it made him very happy.
The live stream will begin once all the cameras are set up.
Xi Xinxin and the others emerged from the hotel one after another. Yesterday was just a preview, with everyone exchanging greetings. Today was the official start of the mission.
The host introduced, "Today our task is to learn how to mix drinks!"
Xi Xinxin was also a little surprised when she heard this. Could it be what she was thinking?
When the host arrived at Xi, Xi Xinxin and the others exchanged knowing smiles.
The acting store manager is now Guan Jing, who probably already knew this. Collaborating with this kind of program can at least bring in some publicity or money. She was hesitant in the chat interface before, but this morning she was asked to watch some live stream, which seems to be to prove that she can do a good job.
Hearing that he was learning bartending, combined with what he said this morning about watching live streams, it wasn't hard to guess.
"As you can see, this is a very popular bar recently, but it's actually on the second floor. I heard that many people have received help from this bar. I also heard that there's a note wall on the first floor with encouraging words written by many people."
As soon as Xi Xinxin entered the store, she saw Guan Jing's face stiffen, and he looked at her helplessly. Xi Xinxin gestured for him to calm down.
Only after the host explained did I realize that my own shop owner was also participating in the show. *Sobbing* My amazing surprise was gone.
Guan Jing had planned it all out beforehand: he'd let Xi Xinxin watch the live stream, then praise her, "You're amazing! I knew you'd be the acting store manager! Someone as talented as you is definitely capable of achieving great things! Let's be good friends!" Then they'd walk side-by-side towards the sunset!
Even if Guan Jing felt frustrated, he couldn't show it. He was just an agent; it was wrong of him to act without Xi Xinxin's consent. After leading everyone upstairs, he apologized to Xi Xinxin via mobile phone.
Guan Jing's appearance drew even more viewers to the live stream.
"Wow! He's so handsome. He has a kind of roguish charm. I think he's even more handsome than Gao Chi!"
Gao Chi is one of the handsome actors who became famous for filming BL (Boys' Love) movies.
The other one is named Xiao Bohan. The singer-turned-actor is a few years older. Everyone calls him Brother Guan. He shares the same surname as Guan Jing.
The live stream panel quickly erupted into noise.
"This guy's handsome? He's nowhere near as good-looking as my brother."
"Oh my, people can't even express their opinions anymore. I think this store manager is even more handsome."
"I am the president of Gao Chi's fan club. I apologize to the fans who spoke earlier. Everyone has different aesthetic tastes. Please don't cause trouble for Gao Chi."
There weren't many customers on the second floor today. Gu Nan and Gu Bei were washing cups, knowing there was a performance coming.
Before the two could react, Xi Xinxin made a shushing gesture. Gu Bei immediately reacted and greeted them, "Hello. My name is Gu Bei, and this is my younger brother, Gu Nan."
The host then began introducing the people on this side: "So today, we'll trouble Gu Bei and Gu Nan to teach bartending. Gu Bei, could you please teach the girls this part, and Gu Nan, would that be alright with the boys?"
After obtaining consent, the cameras began filming in batches.
Xi Xinxin had a bit of a headache. How could she possibly portray herself as someone who knew absolutely nothing about mixing drinks?
