Chapter 52 Exchange [VIP]
The camera turned and landed on an open flat ground, and five guests and the host appeared in front of everyone.
Someone opened his eyes wide and reached out to touch the person in front of him, but his fingers passed through the image.
Lin Zhihua looked at Xue Zeyu standing in the middle of the crowd with some surprise. She didn't expect that he would be the host of this episode.
Xue Zeyu, acting as both host and tour guide, briefly greeted everyone. "Welcome to our large-scale live broadcast program, 'Exploring Intangible Cultural Heritage!' These guests are all renowned figures, so I don't think I need to introduce them one by one, do I?"
Several guests greeted the camera in turn, and the barrage of comments was like the New Year, with fans doing their best to support their idols.
"So handsome, so handsome! Actor Xu is so handsome that my legs are weak. I can't imagine how happy it must be to be so close to my husband at the holographic scene!"
"Ahhhhh, Xingran baby, let mommy kiss you!!"
"Girls are so beautiful!"
"Xiaoxi, don't be distracted! The camera is facing you!"
All five of them have a large fan base. More than two-thirds of the people in the live broadcast room are their fans, and the comments from ordinary passers-by are quickly drowned out by the unanimous praise.
The five people on the livestream had already finished introducing themselves. Xue Zeyu took over and gave the camera a mysterious smile. "We've invited a special guest this time. He'll be joining us and participating in the event with everyone. Let's guess who this episode's guest is."
Several people took turns guessing seniors or friends in the entertainment industry, but Xue Zeyu just smiled and shook his head every time.
Seeing Director Zheng gesture towards him, Xue Zeyu didn't keep the secret any longer. He turned to face the house on his left, and the live broadcast camera also focused on the closed wooden door. "Now to reveal the answer—"
As soon as she finished speaking, a tall figure suddenly walked out of the room. After seeing the man's face clearly, Yan Jie's pupils suddenly shrank.
Xue Zeyu's voice rose by two decibels: "Let us welcome the Chairman of Hengan Pharmaceuticals - Li Yingqi!"
Li Yingqi took off the suit that was welded to his body and changed into casual clothes. His hair was not as meticulously groomed as usual, and a few strands of hair were sticking up beside his ears, making him look much more approachable.
Li Yingqi frowned slightly, and Yan Jie could tell at a glance that he was not very comfortable in front of the camera and looked a little uncomfortable.
Her mind was almost filled with question marks. Why would Mr. Li, who was busy with all sorts of things, come to participate in a variety show? Could it be that being a guest on a show was more important than a multi-million dollar project?
Or is it that Hengan Pharmaceutical is on the verge of bankruptcy and has no choice but to let the president perform?
Seeing Li Yingqi striding forward, the director quickly asked the cameraman to focus the camera on him. This was the God of Wealth who had invested 50 million in their program. Director Zheng had originally thought that the sponsor was trying to force someone in, but he didn't expect the big boss to actually show up himself, and his only request was to be a guest for one episode.
This is a genuine CEO with a net worth of over 100 billion yuan. His image is not inferior to any top male star in the circle, and he is a hot topic!
Today's hot searches are already there without having to buy them.
Director Zheng was both happy and excited. Although he didn't know why Li Yingqi came to participate in the program, he gave him plenty of treatment, shots, and everything! The editing was also arranged!
Xue Zeyu said enthusiastically: "Well, now please let this mysterious guest introduce himself!"
Li Yingqi glanced at him calmly and recognized that this host was the internet celebrity who had recently been rumored to be having an affair with Yan Jie. He glanced around and his gaze paused imperceptibly on Yan Jie.
He said in a low voice: "Li Yingqi, CEO of Hengan Pharmaceutical Group."
Then, there was a long silence.
Yan Jie pursed her lips tightly, fearing that she would burst out laughing in public.
The smile on Xue Zeyu's face froze. Was it gone just like that? Was the overbearing CEO so aloof even on entertainment shows?
After a few seconds, he came back to his senses and said with a smile, "Mr. Li's self-introduction was really concise and to the point. I heard that you rarely participate in public events. You came to our show this time. I believe you are very interested in our Chinese intangible cultural heritage!"
Xue Zeyu cleverly resolved the slightly awkward atmosphere with a few words. He took care of Li Yingqi, subtly praised the program team, and once again pointed out the core theme of intangible cultural heritage.
A few of them laughed and the atmosphere quickly became lively.
The barrage in the live broadcast room seemed to be going crazy at this time. The dense barrage of comments overwhelmed the fan group who had been creating a lively atmosphere. The live broadcast room was frantically flooded with the words "Mr. Li".
"A living CEO is a real domineering CEO, not just a pot-bellied old man! The male protagonists of domineering CEO novels will have face in the future!"
"Hiss, hiss, so cool, I like it! Mr. Li, I want to give birth to a baby for you!!"
"I don't know if you noticed, but President Li just glanced at Yinyin."
"Nonsense, Mr. Li, please look!"
"Zhou Miaoting and our Yinyin are not standing in the same place at all. Fans, please don't try to get close to them, okay?"
Lin Zhihua was watching the show at that time. When she saw Li Yingqi, she raised her eyebrows in surprise: "He must be leaving the variety show."
Fu Shengyan's ears twitched, and he said quickly, "Chasing someone? What do you mean by chasing someone? Who's chasing who?"
Lin Zhihua nodded at the screen in front of her and lowered her voice, "I still remember that night when I came with him. After it was over, Sister Yan and I went back to her house and happened to run into the couple having a quarrel."
As they whispered to each other, Xue Zeyu had already explained the grouping rules and the content of the activity. He handed the lottery box he had prepared long ago to Li Yingqi and said, "Then, Mr. Li, please be the first to draw the number plate."
There are a total of six guests, who can be paired into three groups. The program team assigns different tasks and intangible cultural heritage content to each group, and they will present their learning results together after three days.
Li Yingqi unfolded the piece of paper in his hand, and there were two big words written in black and white on the white paper - color painting.
He had a blank expression on his face, as if he didn't care what he drew, but his eyes couldn't help but drift towards Yan Jie.
Seeing that everyone had a slip of paper in their hands, Xue Zeyu glanced at the guests with different expressions and said in a loud voice, "Alright, everyone, now, according to the intangible cultural heritage content you drew, form two teams and go to the village to find your 'master' to learn from him!"
"Remember, at noon on the third day, everyone must return to the open space at the village entrance to show the audience what you have learned over the past three days."
Xue Zeyu did not announce what tasks everyone had drawn, and the grouping remained a mystery. He stood aside and did not join the subsequent team activities.
Xu Fengran and Xu Xingran were standing close to each other. When he looked up, he happened to see the note in Xu Xingran's hand, so he unfolded his note in front of him and said, "Come on, partner, let's go find the woodcarver."
Li Junxi frowned tightly, "I got to draw something as effeminate as embroidery. What luck..."
He clenched the note in his hand, glanced around, and locked onto Xue Zeyu standing under the eaves. He started walking towards him, but was stopped after a few steps.
"What are you doing?" Li Junxi's tone was a little irritable, but due to Li Yingqi's identity, he still restrained his temper.
Zhou Miaoting walked over nervously, looked at Li Yingqi's stern face, and smiled sweetly: "Mr. Li, did you draw the painting?"
Li Yingqi gave her a stingy look. He stood in front of Li Junxi and looked straight at him, "Switch."
Li Junxi saw the contents on the white paper clearly, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stuffed the note in his hand into his hand.
As long as it's not embroidery, you can let him do anything!
Zhou Miaoting, who was standing by, was so angry that she was about to fume when she saw that he not only ignored her but also exchanged the notes in front of her. However, because the live camera was still facing her, she could only grit her teeth.
She forced a smile. "You're breaking the rules. The production team said that people who draw the same intangible cultural heritage items are grouped together. How can we just swap them around? Right, Brother Xue?"
Xue Zeyu immediately turned his head and pretended to be surprised when he heard this: "Hey, didn't I just say that? As long as you are willing... you can all form your own groups freely."
Zhou Miaoting's expression froze for a moment.
"Why are you so fussy? The master hasn't been found yet. I'm leaving first." Li Junxi waved his hand and turned around and left, as if he was afraid that Li Yingqi would go back on his word. After a while, he entered the village.
Zhou Miaoting avoided the camera, glanced coldly at Yan Jie who was standing not far away, and left with Li Junxi.
Yan Jie was still confused and puzzled by Zhou Miaoting's glare at her.
So, did she miss a clear-cut confrontation? Did they just happily split up into groups?
Looking at Li Yingqi walking towards her, she really wanted to run over and stop Zhou Miaoting. She was actually willing to exchange with her!
Yan Jie felt uneasy when she thought about having to stay close to Li Yingqi for the next three days.
Hadn't they already parted ways amicably? Why was the stingy guy getting in her face again? Did he discover she was planning to steal the dog from the villa, or...did he feel he'd been shortchanged and wanted to return the extra pocket money he'd given her at the beginning of the month?
Yan Jie swallowed her saliva and looked at the man in front of her without blinking.
"Let's go, Yinyin."
"Oh..." Out of habit, Yan Jie nodded subconsciously. When she came to her senses, she was already following Li Yingqi.
The corners of Li Yingqi's mouth rose slightly, the arc was very small, but this scene happened to be captured by the camera, and the picture was enlarged on the screen of the live broadcast room, which immediately caused screams.
"Ahhh, I hit it!"
"Yinyin~ You're calling me so affectionate. I don't believe you when you say these two people have nothing."
"When did Yinyin become so well behaved? They must be up to something!"
"The cold-blooded and overbearing CEO is actually a die-hard fan. He spent a fortune just to appear on the same variety show as his idol. He hooked her on the show and made her itchy, tossing and turning late into the night..."
"Teacher, here's the pen for you. Remember to send me the link."
"Send link +1"
