Chapter 70 Chapter 70 10
The next morning, Huo Jingshen, as the new guest, actively appeared on stage.
At this time, no one else had gone to work yet, and the director surprisingly said that even the bed was not ready.
He originally planned to wait until the other guests finished their meal and went to work before having someone bring the bed in. After all, even if they didn't do a live broadcast during breakfast time, they still had to record some footage.
After discussion, Ruoruo's first visit to the Love Shack was scheduled for the afternoon, when everyone should be able to return.
"It's okay, I'll arrange someone." As an investor, he still knew the accommodation environment of this program. It was not too bad but definitely not as good as his usual living environment. If it were not to see Ruo Ruo, whom he fell in love with at first sight, he would not come to this place to participate in this program.
The director was also stubborn. No matter how much additional investment he offered, he refused to change the villa to be the new love cottage.
In this case, he can only work hard on his bed, after all, his sleep quality is really poor.
"Why is it you?" Tang Xi, who was eating fried eggs, was the most surprised, because Huo Jingshen was the culprit who tricked him into participating in this show.
Who would have thought that the big boss would actually show up himself? No wonder they're already halfway through the show and are still adding new guests. After all, he's the financial backer of this dating variety show.
"Yeah." Huo Jingshen acted indifferent.
Tang Xi had long been accustomed to his personality. If she really responded to him with a smile, he would be scared.
"Brother Jingshen?" Duan Lingling was also very surprised. Because she was a new guest, the contract did not require her to act as if she did not know Huo Jingshen. Duan Lingling immediately showed her familiarity with Huo Jingshen.
Duan Lingling had never imagined he would participate in this show. He was known for his aloof personality, and getting him to appear on a variety show would be incredibly difficult.
But Duan Lingling still couldn't help but look forward to the real reason why Huo Jingshen participated in the show.
Tang Xi knew him, but Huo Jingshen couldn't possibly be participating in this dating variety show just for a man, right? Then... what other reason could there be?
[System, check Huo Jingshen's favorability towards me.]
Before joining the show, during her last meeting with Huo Jingshen, his favorability rating had already reached over 60. To avoid being disturbed during the show, she only set up notifications for the male guests' favorability ratings. Otherwise, she'd be annoyed to death by the constant notifications of each man's favorability rating changes, having conquered so many men, some exceptional, some ordinary.
It's not that she hadn't thought about focusing only on the favorability of those who were outstanding, but for people like this, if she didn't take the initiative to pursue them, she might not make any move for hundreds of years. At most, their favorability would fluctuate by one or two points depending on their mood, or even worse, their favorability towards her might slowly decrease. There was really no need for her to set it up, as it would only affect her attention and mood.
[Ding, Huo Jingshen's favorability is being checked. Huo Jingshen's favorability is 60.]
As expected! Duan Lingling had a heart attack. Not seeing her for a while had lowered her favorability. It was really a waste of her efforts to get close to the old woman of the Huo family and try to please her in every way.
God knows how hard it is to please that old woman. There are rules for eating, talking, walking, and even laughing. Duan Lingling almost went crazy trying to please that old woman! Even so, the old woman still despised her for not having the demeanor of a great lady and couldn't satisfy her completely.
On the one hand, he said he liked her, but on the other hand, he asked this and that of her. He really wasted her life-saving grace to the old woman.
But she couldn't go out. After all, Huo Jingshen really attracted her.
Moreover, the old woman had also spent a lot of money on her, but despite this, Duan Lingling still found it unbearable. If you like someone and are grateful to them, shouldn't you support them without reason? As a result, whenever she wanted to get close to Huo Jingshen, the old woman would always tell her not to disturb her eldest grandson too much, as he liked quietness.
... He liked her and was grateful to her, but he had no intention of bringing her and Huo Jingshen together. What kind of liking was this?
The most disgusting thing was that if she tried to please the old woman and make her happy, Huo Jingshen would have a better impression of her. But if she did something that didn't please the old woman, and the old woman made a random comment about her, Huo Jingshen's impression of her would decrease.
If it weren't for this reason, she wouldn't have been able to show her mutual affection with Sheng Binxu on the show so early.
Because, aside from Sheng Binxu, it was difficult to gain favor with other men, and they all had flaws to varying degrees. The more successful men who could provide her with a lot of luck, the more picky they were, and if they didn't treat her well, their favorability would drop instantly. Sheng Binxu was also fortunate to have been the one she hooked up with over five years ago, and with that filter in her mind, he always showed her more tolerance and love than others.
Moreover, Sheng Binxu is the real male protagonist of this world. The most important thing is that the mutual love shown by Sheng Binxu and Fu Shiting on the show can greatly stimulate Fu Shiting, thereby seizing the luck value from Fu Shiting.
As long as Fu Shiting's luck was completely drained away by her, she wouldn't be able to rest easy. Even if it was simply to make Fu Shiting's life miserable, she had to put Sheng Binxu first.
But she thought that it seemed like an unexpected success, and it might have stimulated Huo Jingshen, which made him unable to resist participating in this variety show.
In fact, Fu Shiting was able to enter this dating variety show thanks to Huo Jingshen's help. Otherwise, she would probably not have passed the background check and would not even have been able to enter the auditions.
Huo Jingshen frowned when he heard someone calling him "Brother Jingshen" in a friendly manner. When he saw Duan Lingling, he remembered that she was also in this program group.
He did not express any objection to the title, but the next second, Duan Lingling received a system prompt.
[Ding, Huo Jingshen's favorability towards the host has decreased by 20. The current favorability is 40.]
Duan Lingling paused as she walked towards Huo Jingshen: ...
What's wrong with her lately? Mercury retrograde shouldn't be this bad, right? A name that reduces her favorability by 20 points? That's even more cruel than Tan Tongtong's!
Could it be because Huo Jingshen didn't want others to know that he knew him? But the original favorability of 60 shouldn't make him dislike him so much, right?
Duan Lingling had no idea what was going on!
But she didn't approach him to talk again, and she didn't dare show her familiarity with Huo Jingshen. It wouldn't matter if she didn't show it, but she was afraid that if she did, she would lose another 20 points of favorability. That was all she had painstakingly earned when she couldn't get close to Sheng Binxu and Fu Shiting! There weren't many chosen ones she could get close to, so she was doing well now, and her favorability had almost completely dropped.
[System, have you used your luck to maintain my beauty?] Duan Lingling even began to wonder if her beauty aura had faded.
[Ding, host, please do not question the system's capabilities.]
Duan Lingling: ...She didn't want to question it, but her favorability had dropped inexplicably in the past two days, and it was really hard for her not to be suspicious.
But she went to the bathroom and looked around, but didn't find anything strange.
The others also greeted Huo Jingshen briefly. After all, they all had work to do and didn't have time to chat.
Tan Tongtong, who is unemployed, hasn't even gotten out of bed yet. Duan Lingling isn't working either, as this variety show is her job. But to avoid being stuck in her little room doing nothing, she's signed up for guzheng lessons and other courses that will help her career.
This also gave her fans more capital to promote her. After all, although she hasn't started acting yet, she is a professional. Although she hasn't participated in other variety shows besides "31 Days of Love", she is diligently studying every day. Although she hasn't stepped into the entertainment industry with both feet, she has already gained a reputation for being diligent, studious, and conscientious. She has even begun to be compared with some less dedicated artists in the industry.
As for Tan Tongtong, he didn't mind what others considered his idleness; on the contrary, he thoroughly enjoyed it. He slept, played games, watched movies, ordered takeout, and sometimes ran out to meet his "friends" when he had an appointment. It could be said that he was truly at the "peak of his life."
Because of this, many people do not dislike him for his sharp tongue and lack of measure. After all, his life is really enviable, and it is far away from the lives of most working people, because most ordinary people can only lie flat and their efforts are not that useful.
Especially with the changes of the times, it is simply a fantasy for ordinary people, especially those whose original families are not so good, to really lie down and enjoy life.
Therefore, too many people regard Tan Tongtong's idle life as electronic pickled mustard greens. They watch him and take a few bites, as if they will be able to be like him sooner or later. This is their hope in life and also a kind of sustenance.
They couldn't be jealous of Tan Tongtong's life. After all, reincarnation is a technical job, and it was obvious that Tan Tongtong's reincarnation skills were extraordinary.
As the other guests left the Love House one after another, Huo Jingshen began to direct people to make his bed.
"By the way, let's also change the bed in Ruoruo's room. Our production team shouldn't be short of money, so there's no need to force our guests to sleep on a bed like this."
director:……
Speechless and choked...
Who was it that said it in the first place? He is a businessman, not a philanthropist. This show is a dating variety show that records every moment of the guests' interactions, not a place for the guests to enjoy life.
And he still remembered who it was at that time, looking very much like he was enjoying the show, hoping that the young masters and young ladies among the guests would make a fool of themselves.
Now, I’m not short of money again.
The one who has plenty of money is Huo Jingshen, not the director himself! And certainly not the previous "31 Days of Love"!
"What are you doing so early in the morning?" Tan Tongtong heard the noise and came out of the room sleepily.
"It's 9:07 now, which is not too early in the morning." Huo Jingshen calmly raised his wrist and glanced at the watch on his wrist, and replied coldly.
“…” “Brother Huo?” Tan Tongtong rubbed his eyes and found that he was not mistaken.
"Oh, are you here for inspection?" He said casually.
Huo Jingshen couldn't stand seeing him like this, but considering that he was the only younger brother of his partner and friend, he reluctantly continued, "No."
"Then what are you doing here? You made such a loud noise that you woke me up!" You know, generally speaking, waking up at ten o'clock is considered a normal sleep quality for him.
But after taking a look at the scene next door, he understood that they were arranging for an extra bed for the new guest.
"No, you have to come in person to add an extra bed? And doesn't that unoccupied room already have a bed? What are you fussing about?"
Tan Tongtong rubbed his eyes and kept talking, but in the end, the only response he got was air.
Tan Tongtong: ...
But fortunately, he was used to entertaining himself in front of his elders and brothers, and did not feel embarrassed at all.
But when several people passed by him carrying a bed, he suddenly became serious, "No, this bed..."
If he was reading it right, this bed was one of D's most popular products, right? The bed and the mattress alone cost more than a typical house in the area. When he saw the ad, he and his friends complained about it for a long time, saying only a fool would buy something that was pure brand premium and a tax on their intelligence. A little pricey would be fine, but this was way too much! It was enough to buy a sports car.
As a result, now... ?
The brand logo was correct, it was from D, and the look was right, and Huo Jingshen was standing right next to him, so there was no way he was using a fake. But using the real thing? That was a bit too extravagant, wasn't it? Who exactly was this new guest?
No! Tan Tongtong looked up suddenly, as if realizing something.
Could this be something Huo Jingshen himself would use? After all, Huo Jingshen's well-known insomnia had been going on for a long time.
"No, Brother Huo, you are not the new male guest, are you?" Tan Tongtong's expression was a little distorted, and his handsome face was ruined by his exaggerated expression.
"Why, is there a problem?"
"...No problem...right...I just didn't expect it." It's boring that the variety show he invested in still uses this routine of a dark horse appearing halfway. It turns out that Huo Jingshen is not that boring?
However, Tan Tongtong soon discovered the problem.
"Why did you bring three beds here?"
Then he watched helplessly as the unoccupied room was also replaced with a freshly made and rather inexpensive bed.
"Is it so good? The bed in this room has also been changed?" Tan Tongtong muttered to himself.
"What did you say?" Huo Jingshen didn't hear clearly.
"Nothing, I just want to ask, do you want to change the other beds? Or change my bed as well? I'm not comfortable sleeping on my current bed!"
"Sorry, no more." Huo Jingshen looked at him with a smile.
"Ah? You really can't change it for me? I've never slept on such an expensive bed! I want to feel it too! I don't even have a bed like this at home."
Huo Jingshen raised his wrist to check the time again, then began to look up and down at Tan Tongtong, who had not washed or combed her hair, and even wore her pajamas crookedly.
"You can sleep so long even if you're not feeling well. I'm afraid you'll be too comfortable to wake up, and your brother will come and cause trouble for me."
Tan Tongtong: ...
Old antiques don’t understand the happiness of young people!
Jealousy! This is pure jealousy!
