Chapter 2 Shipping King



The director looked at the nearby surveillance camera and saw that everyone was focusing on the person filming the video and scolding her. Fans of Bai Gege and Ao Yingdi were also thanking Shui Yiyao.

He stood up and smiled, "Alright, go back to your seats. Let's announce the rules for breakfast."

When recording a variety show like this, one isn't afraid of netizens criticizing them; the biggest fear is that it's mediocre and lacks any explosive elements. Now that this has happened, netizens will immediately make this excitement a trending topic, without the production team having to buy any publicity themselves. This isn't a bad thing.

The director did not pursue the matter any further and continued recording the program.

"The voting system was opened yesterday. From now on, our breakfast will be distributed according to votes."

"We use real-name voting, one vote per person, and a robust oversight mechanism. So there's no need to worry about vote manipulation."

"Whoever has the most current votes will get a luxurious lunch."

The director pointed to a tray on the table. There was a lid on it with the words "Luxury Breakfast" written in large brush strokes. He opened the lid of the tray and found a plate of dumplings and a bowl of porridge inside.

"Whoever has the fewest votes gets a poor breakfast."

He opened another tray, on which was a small plate with a grain of white rice on it.

Huang Yiyao took a look and said, "That's not called a poor breakfast, that's called no breakfast."

Director: "Okay, let's count the votes now."

Huang Yiyao suddenly had a bad feeling.

She remembered that the novel mentioned that Shui Yiyao, a star with the same name as her but a different surname, was very popular because of her face, but she did things without thinking and had many enemies, most of whom told her to get out of the entertainment industry.

"Ao Yun, 55632 votes."

"Bai Gege, 55244 votes."

"Qiu Xiaoxi, ..."

“…”

"Shui Yiyao, the number of votes——"

The director paused and looked up at Shui Yiyao: "54242."

Surprisingly high? Not much different from Bai Gege's.

Huang Yiyao was about to cheer up when the director spoke again: "--Negative."

Her smile froze, and she looked at the director in disbelief: "This thing, voting, can there be a negative result?"

The director explained: "We use a completely real-name system. Each person only has one chance to vote, but they can give up their support vote and cast a veto vote."

Huang Yiyao understood.

What this means is that there are some people who gave up the opportunity to support others and just saved up their votes to veto her.

So she was negative.

The director pointed at the poor breakfast and said to Huang Yiyao, "This is your breakfast this morning."

Huang Yiyao looked at the grain of rice on the poor breakfast plate with disdain, rolled her eyes, and shook her head: "I'll find something to eat by myself."

She turned and walked out the door.

The staff wanted to call her back, but the director stopped them: "Let her go."

The camera followed her out.

Huang Yiyao heard the cameraman following her, paused slightly, turned around and rolled up her sleeves towards the camera: "You have hands and feet, are you worried that you won't find someone who stutters?"

The cameraman was stunned. To be honest, Shui Yiyao really looked like a big boss when she rolled up her sleeves suddenly.

He lowered his head slightly to clear his mind. This Shui Yiyao was just a vase that could only cause trouble for others.

He didn't believe Shui Yiyao could get anything to eat. The villagers had already been warned not to give out food. The point here was nothing more than Shui Yiyao's various setbacks and inability to find food, which was what made the discussion so interesting.

Netizens also think so.

But half an hour later, everyone was in disbelief when they saw the lotus egg drop soup, scallion pancakes, and loofah soup appearing on the camera.

Who would believe it if they didn't see Shui Yiyao do it with their own eyes?

And the presentation is very good.

Yes, she did not ask the villagers for it, but picked vegetables directly from the yard and cooked it on the stove.

Huang Yiyao held the breakfast plate and smiled at the camera: "How about one more plate than your luxurious breakfast?"

“It’s impossible to starve.”

-Anle Village on the tip of your tongue.

-I actually feel hungry after watching this.

-Why is she so skilled?

-Is that old stove so easy to use?

The assistant producer looked at the comments flying across the screen in real time, then looked up at Shui Yiyao, feeling very surprised.

Did she actually manage to get something to eat? And she cooked it skillfully, successfully on the first try. This was the first positive comment she'd received since joining the crew, aside from praise for her pretty face.

After Huang Yiyao finished her breakfast, she returned to the lobby.

She walked ahead calmly, but she twisted her fingers and felt a small bump on her fingertips, which startled her.

This mermaid's body is too exaggerated.

What’s going on? I just did something and I got blisters.

The most laborious task, that is, cracking an egg?

When she first held a carving knife as a child, she didn't get blisters so quickly.

This program is a slow-paced rural life experience, and the activities are not compact.

After breakfast, there was a group activity, fishing.

The fish you catch is your lunch.

The director looked at the people sitting in the lobby and said, "Fishing is a skill. This time we've invited a special guest who's a former competitive fishing champion."

The director added: "He is the head of a family business and one of the most outstanding young entrepreneurs of our time."

youth?

Huang Yiyao was once named an "outstanding youth representative," so she knew that youth refers to people aged 15 to 44.

Should the person at the helm of a company be in his forties?

"Let's go to the river now. The flying guests are waiting for us there."

Several artists also echoed: "Looking forward to it."

A group of people went to the river.

On the way, Huang Yiyao recalled what was written in the book.

Fishing guest? Who is fishing... That's right, it's him!

Huang Yiyao's expression changed.

Ao Li, the head of the Ao Group, possessed a strong background and considerable achievements despite his youth. He contracted the vast majority of shipping transactions across the continent, earning him the nickname "Shipping King." He also dabbled in the oil business, achieving considerable success.

It is because the Ao family he is in charge of is the male protagonist's background, so everyone says that the male protagonist is an actor who will go home and inherit billions of assets if he doesn't work hard.

He came to participate in this show entirely because of the male lead. He is the second uncle of the male lead Ao Yun, and the male lead is the next heir he has his eyes on.

None of this matters. What matters is that he is Shui Yiyao's financial backer.

After the heroine and Shui Yiyao fell out, the intimate photos of Shui Yiyao and her sponsor were exposed, which dealt a fatal blow to Shui Yiyao. The sponsor in the photo was Ao Li.

Ao Li took the initiative to give the photo to the heroine.

In the novel, Ao Li came to this show and saw with his own eyes that Shui Yiyao was targeting Bai Gege in various ways, both openly and covertly, and was pestering his nephew in various ways, so he became angry and gave the photo to Bai Gege.

This scene should no longer exist, right?

She didn't target Bai Gege anymore. So Ao Li wouldn't give the photo away, right?

Soon the director team led the artists to a river, where fishing gear was already prepared. There was also a man in casual clothes fishing by the river. He was just a back view.

Behind him were two bodyguards in black suits.

"That's... Ao Li! That's Ao Li!"

Soon someone recognized it and was very excited.

Can you recognize someone just from his back?

As they approached, the man by the river turned his head slightly and nodded gently at them.

After seeing the person clearly, Huang Yiyao was stunned.

Quite handsome.

I don't feel thirty.

She turned around and looked at Ao Yun in the team. Ao Yun, who was in the entertainment industry, had an impeccable appearance and was very handsome.

But Ao Li is more handsome than Ao Yun.

Especially the eyes, which are as deep as the sea in the dark night, and people will feel obviously oppressed when looked at by those eyes.

He just sat there quietly, nodded slightly, and everyone's voices became much quieter.

Like many senior leaders she had met before, he was quite majestic.

The director walked up first, extending his hand towards Ao Li, with a friendly smile on his face, and spoke in a much more polite tone than usual: "Mr. Ao Li."

Ao Li stood up and extended his hand towards him: "Director Guo."

After the two shook hands, the director introduced the artists to him one by one.

When Huang Yiyao was introduced, Ao Li's expression was no different, and he just nodded slightly to her.

This capitalist looks like a gentleman. This time she did not go against Bai Gege. This shipping tycoon can't give the photo to Bai Gege, right?

After the introduction, everyone took their positions and started fishing.

While everyone was vying for a seat next to the capitalist, Huang Yiyao almost grabbed the seat in the corner.

She wants to stay away from capitalists and their families and not provoke them.

He began to experience a leisurely rural life. While everyone was asking the boat king about the correct fishing posture, Huang Yiyao put the bait on and lowered the hook by herself.

She held the fishing rod, sat on the chair, and stared at the floating rod.

I had just cast my line when the float suddenly moved and bubbles began to form in the river.

A fish took the bait? So quickly?

Huang Yiyao's eyes lit up and she pulled the fishing rod up with all her strength.

It didn't move for a while.

She gritted her teeth and pulled harder, and the pull in the water became stronger.

"Oh my god, someone help me get down here, it's so heavy! It must be a giant!"

She pulled back and shouted to the director team.

The assistant director was about to ask someone to help her when he looked down and saw the real-time comments on the screen.

-So contrived, so fake.

-She just wants the shipping magnate to help her.

-Just slammed the ball, how could it be so fast?

The assistant director paused and didn't allow the staff to go, so he let other people, whether they were artists or shipping tycoons, to create topics.

Huang Yiyao pulled back with all her strength. She still didn't believe that the fish could be as heavy as her.

No, this force... Huang Yiyao wanted to let go.

“Plop!”

Suddenly, Huang Yiyao was quickly pulled to the riverside and fell into the water in an instant.

"Help--"

As they shouted, everyone saw a huge golden fish tail streaking across the water and then sinking out of sight.

The director team panicked: "Help!"

The staff all stood on the river bank, looking at the water hesitantly.

Director: "The golden tail is an ordinary fish, not a shark. Hurry up, get in the water!"

It was indeed a golden tail, and this was just a small river, so there wouldn't be any ferocious fish. The staff then used life-saving props and went into the water one after another.

·

Huang Yiyao was so frightened that her heart was beating like a drum.

What a big fish tail!

And a force was dragging her down madly.

She paddled with her hands, trying to float up, but for some reason her legs couldn't move, so she sank quickly.

It wasn't until someone grabbed her hand that she was stopped from sinking.
