Chapter 31: An Uncomfortable Vintage Store
Only one day had passed, and two of the three new guests were gone. The director lit a cigarette and looked at Jiang Ning with mixed feelings.
With Jiang Ning around, their variety show will definitely be a hit. The number of viewers for two consecutive episodes is a figure that other variety shows can't even dream of, but this is too much of a blow to the guests.
The director thought that from the dating variety show to this travel variety show, five people had failed. If this continued, the director was worried that he would not be able to find guest stars for the next episode.
After everyone finished breakfast, they saw that the director looked very worried, and Jiang Qing knew what he was worried about.
"The director shouldn't worry. Our show is so popular, anyone who appears on it will be a hot topic and get plenty of exposure. There's no shortage of artists in the industry who want to take a chance, so why worry about not finding guests?"
The director thought about it and agreed. Although their show has a high failure rate, its popularity is real. There are only a few artists in this circle who really have no shortage of exposure, so there must be some who want to be guest stars.
No matter how much his reputation collapses, he always believes in the entertainment industry's speed of replenishment!
Bigwigs in various circles: We have lost our confidence.
After adjusting his depressed mood and seeing that it was time for the live broadcast, the director announced today's task to everyone - to check in at several famous check-in spots in the ancient town, and officially started today's live broadcast.
Jiang Ning looked at the card and read the words on it.
"How can you go out for a trip without beautiful clothes? Please go to the vintage shops in the ancient town to pick out a satisfactory outfit and start a beautiful day."
"It's time to change into ancient costumes. This is an ancient town, full of antique charm. We are wearing modern clothes, which looks like we have traveled through time. It doesn't match well." Liang Wanyou looked at the clothes she was wearing and said with interest, looking forward to wearing ancient costumes.
Liang Wanyou used to mostly film modern urban dramas or Republican dramas, and she had never worn that kind of flowing and beautiful ancient costume. I really want to see what she looks like in it.
The others also seemed interested, so they packed up and followed the map on the card to find the location of the vintage store.
In an alley, there are several vintage stores on the same street. After comparing the styles and quantities of clothes in the stores, we walked into the largest one.
"These clothes are so beautiful, and the fabric feels good too, not the kind of low-quality material." Liang Wanyou said as she looked at an elegant Song Dynasty dress, seeming very satisfied with the clothes.
Jiang Qing also pulled Ning Qiu to look at the clothes on the hanger, and occasionally picked them up and tried them on himself.
Song Yao, the only male guest on the show, went alone to the men's clothing rack on the other side to pick out clothes.
Tang Li had acted in ancient idol dramas and fairy tales before, and had worn beautiful ancient costumes many times. However, she was not very excited when she entered the store. After casually looking at a few skirts, she saw that some places were worn and the inner fabric was also wired. She frowned and put back the clothes she wanted to try on.
She turned around and saw Jiang Ning still standing there, not coming over to choose clothes. She thought it was Jiang Ning's first time seeing ancient costumes and she didn't know how to choose, so she walked over and asked in a gentle voice.
"There are too many clothes and you don't know how to choose? Tell me what you like and I'll give you some reference."
Jiang Ning's eyes swept over those clothes, especially the smell on them, which made her dislike them very much and she didn't want to touch them at all.
"No, Sister Tang Li, don't you think the clothes in this store look new?" Jiang Ning approached Tang Li and whispered.
Tang Li nodded. "Their clothes are worn and threadbare, so they don't look new. However, most of these vintage stores also offer clothing rentals for photo shoots, so it's normal that they're not new."
"No, I mean, even though these clothes have been treated and fumigated with aromatherapy, I still feel uncomfortable when I smell them."
Jiang Ning said, wanting to understand why she felt uncomfortable, and opened the melon-eating system to see if there was any gossip about this store.
Jiang Ning, who had never eaten this kind of melon before, didn't have much hope at first. But when he saw that this store really existed in the melon-eating system, his heart skipped a beat and he quickly clicked in to check it out.
At this moment, Jiang Ning's eyes widened and his pupils shrank.
[No wonder I felt uncomfortable the moment I entered the house. Is the owner of this shop crazy for money? He actually dared to buy clothes from the dead, clean them, and then sell them in the store. It's crazy!] Yan
Tang Li, who had just touched the clothes, looked down at her fingers and felt as if there were ants crawling there, causing her hands to tremble.
Liang Wanyou and the other two, who had chosen their clothes and were about to change, threw the clothes in their hands to the ground as if they were burned and quickly retreated a long distance.
Thinking that these clothes came from those people, the three of them felt their scalps tingling and a chill rushing to their heads.
The boss who went to get clothes for Song Yao was walking over. When he saw the three people throwing clothes on the ground, his face suddenly turned bad.
"What are you doing! You all look so glamorous, and you must be big stars to allow them to come in and film, and now you're throwing my clothes on the ground. Is that how you behave? Believe it or not, I'll post it online and let everyone judge for me. Show me how you big stars are bullying us ordinary people!"
The audience in the live broadcast room didn't understand why the guests suddenly threw away the clothes in their hands in panic. Except for the fans who expressed their belief that they must have a reason, the others were already angry because of the boss's words. Yin Yang, Liang Wanyou and the three celebrities were too arrogant and looked down on the clothes in the store, so they threw the clothes away.
Liang Wanyou and the others saw that the boss had a fierce look on his face. Maybe it was because of their preconceived notions, but they couldn't stand him.
"Boss, don't you know why we have to throw it away?" Jiang Qing, who was frantically wiping his hands with wet tissues, said in a cold voice.
Hearing this, the boss' eyelids twitched at first, then he remembered that the clothes had passed through several hands before he got them, how could these stars know that? Thinking of this, he immediately calmed down and held his neck high to ask them to pay compensation.
"What do I know? I only know that my clothes are famous for their good looks and quality. You've stained them, and some of them are frayed. These three pieces are out of print. You should compensate me. After all, you celebrities make a lot of money, so you shouldn't miss out on this little bit of money."
"You bought these clothes at a low price from the deceased. We don't ask you to compensate for the mental damage, but you come to us for compensation instead. Okay, you can ask us to pay. If the police say we have to pay, we will take the money immediately!" Liang Wanyou put down the phone and said.
When the boss heard these words and looked at the phone in Liang Wanyou's hand, his face finally became flustered.
"Don't think you can say whatever you want just because you're a celebrity. My clothes are all sourced from the original factory. How could they possibly be that kind of clothing? If you don't want to pay compensation, just say so. Is it necessary to slander my small shop like this?"
He was about to die and still blamed others. Jiang Ning looked towards the warehouse and said coldly.
"Since there's no problem with the clothes, can you hang out the pile of clothes that just arrived in the warehouse for us to see?"
[The clothes in the warehouse were shipped from other provinces and hadn't been processed yet. There were still obvious stains on them, which was evidence that he was reselling the clothes of the deceased!]
Jiang Ning's thoughts had just fallen out, and before the boss could quibble or go destroy the clothes in the warehouse, he heard sirens stopping at the store door, and several solemn policemen handcuffed the boss.
