That night, Yan Chaochao almost dominated the hot searches on Xingguang Blog.
By the next morning, when Yan Chaochao's live broadcast room opened, the number of viewers in the room had doubled compared to the first day, reaching a rather terrifying level.
When they saw the number of viewers, almost the entire production crew gasped.
Now the number of viewers in Yan Chaochao's live broadcast room is almost the same as the total number of viewers in several other live broadcast rooms. The overall number has basically reached the indicator of the number of viewers per episode of some B-level variety shows.
It's terrifying!
I don’t know where I’ll go today.
I heard from a friend at Yan's Group that all their employees received 1,000 yuan last night, saying it was a consolation payment for the filming...
[Fuck? Is this true?]
[Haha, it was trending for so long yesterday, the publicity must have been great. I'm afraid they're giving some money to their employees to stop saying nonsense online.]
If this is really a bribe, why doesn't our company bribe me?
【Hahahahahaha, never mind the purpose, just give out money! 】
[Support! All companies should quickly roll up their sleeves!]
After breakfast, Yan Chaochao and Yan Xixi changed into going-out clothes and got in the car.
The high school that Yan Xixi graduated from was holding an alumni reunion today. At the strong suggestion of the production team, Yan Chaochao and Yan Xixi finally went to the alumni reunion venue together.
On the way, Yan Xixi looked at the ever-changing scenery outside the window, her eyes changing slightly.
Speaking of which...
In "Growing Up Together", there is actually a "junior" of hers.
***
At the same time, the Shen family.
"I'm going out."
Shen Yunxin, carrying her schoolbag, closed the door with a calm expression.
The moment the door closed, it seemed as if the oppressive and cramped atmosphere in the house was also isolated, allowing Shen Yunxin to breathe a sigh of relief silently.
When Shen Yunxin came downstairs, the window of a white commercial vehicle parked on the side of the road rolled down, and the guy with a crew cut waved at him: "Yunxin, this way!"
After Shen Yunxin got in the car, he thanked the guy with the buzz cut: "Luo Chen, thank you for troubling me during this time."
"You're welcome." Luo Chen smiled and looked at Shen Yunxin, "Is your sister still home today?"
Shen Yunxin's expression darkened and he nodded silently.
Seeing Shen Yunxin's silent reaction, Luo Chen immediately understood what was going on and couldn't help but scold her: "Why did you give in to her and agree to go on the show? Does your sister know that you are a senior in high school this year and are preparing to take the college entrance examination?"
"Tell me, you've been asking for leave every few weeks to film the show. I know you're not the type to enjoy the limelight, but the problem is that other people might not know that!" Luo Chen's tone grew increasingly excited as he spoke. "Just look at how your homeroom teacher, Lao Wang, has changed his attitude towards you since you started filming the show!"
Listening to Luo Chen's words, Shen Yunxin just sipped his lips, his expression gloomy, but he did not refute a word.
Luo Chenzheng was speaking, but the moment he saw Shen Yunxin's expression in the rearview mirror of the car, he suddenly stopped talking.
He gritted his teeth and couldn't help cursing in his heart.
Luo Chen knew that scolding Shen Yunran here would not really help Shen Yunxin, but he really couldn't think of a better way.
Faced with the well-trained management team and the internet troll army, he and Shen Yunxin had no way out.
In silence, the vehicle slowly stopped in front of the gate of Dexin High School.
After Luo Chen opened the door and got out of the car, he looked around and turned to signal Shen Yunxin to get out.
But before entering the school gate, Shen Yunxin couldn't help but turn his head to look at the wall next to him.
It seemed like someone was looking at him just now...
But as far as I could see, I didn't see any figure.
Is it an illusion?
Shen Yunxin withdrew his gaze and walked towards the school.
But after Shen Yunxin left, the people behind the wall couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Is he gone?"
"He must have left. There seems to be no sound."
"I told you to be careful and not get caught!"
"Is it possible that this is my fault?"
As a group of people were complaining to each other, a majestic voice rang out: "Okay."
With just one sentence, the group of people suddenly quieted down.
"We've confirmed that Shen Yunxin is in this high school, so things will be much easier." The boy with short red hair threw the cigarette butt in his mouth to the ground and crushed it vigorously with the sole of his shoe. "We've also figured out the school dismissal time. There's always a chance to catch him alone."
When he said this, a vicious look flashed in the eyes of the boy with short red hair.
***
The business car carrying Yan Chaochao and Yan Xixi stopped in front of the gate of Dexin High School.
Yan Xixi had just gotten off the car and hadn't taken a few steps when a familiar voice came from the side: "Isn't this Xixi? Long time no see."
Hearing the voice, Yan Xixi immediately recognized the person's identity.
The moment he turned around, Yan Xixi had a business smile on her face. "I should be the one saying this, Sha Niannian, it's been a long time."
The woman called "Sha Niannian" was wearing an emerald necklace. As soon as she appeared, her whole body exuded the four words "jewelry and precious stones".
She glanced at the camera next to her, smiled and hugged Yan Xixi: "Xixi is a very busy person now, I don't know when we can see each other again."
Hearing this, Yan Xixi only raised her eyebrows slightly, with almost no change in her expression, "You are not idle every day. I saw you in a financial magazine some time ago."
"It's just some interviews. How can they compare to your live broadcast, Xixi?" Sha Niannian looked at Yan Chaochao beside her. She knew the story between Yan Chaochao and Yan Xixi, but she didn't show it. Instead, she hugged Yan Chaochao with the same enthusiasm, "Nice to meet you. I'm Sha Niannian."
"Hello." Facing such a naturally familiar person, Yan Chaochao did not feel any ill will.
After the hug, Sha Niannian naturally took out her business card from her wallet and handed it to Yan Chaochao with both hands: "This is my business card. Maybe we can have a chance to cooperate someday."
Yan Chaozhao glanced down at Sha Niannian's business card, which clearly read:
Executive Director of Natural Jewelry
As the camera focused on the business card, all the viewers in the live broadcast room also saw the words.
I finally understood why she looked so familiar. I was planning to interview at Natural Jewelry and had looked up their profile. She was listed among the directors.
[Holy crap! This young lady doesn't look that old, but she's already a director?]
After a quick search, I found out that Aoyi Jewelry is owned by this young lady. It's no surprise that she's a director. However, before returning home, she founded her own affordable luxury brand, which is now selling well, so she does have her own capabilities.
I've read some gossip about Nature's Secret before. It seems like the company ran into operational difficulties for a while, but luckily the old chairman's daughter returned from overseas and saved the day... Could it be this young lady?
[Whisper, yes]
At the time, Natural Secrets' revenue was very poor, and they were even considering bankruptcy. It was only through the intervention of the "young lady" you all refer to that the company was saved. Since then, the old chairman has gradually retreated to the background, and now this young lady is the main person in charge.
[Holy crap! Awesome!]
[Sister, look at me QAQ]
After meeting Sha Niannian at the door, Yan Chaochao and Yan Xixi continued to walk into the school.
They were followed by a filming crew and attracted attention from the moment they entered the school gate.
For a while, many people came over to say hello.
In just a few dozen minutes, Yan Chaochao had collected a large pile of business cards, most of which were "directors" and "general managers".
In a blink of an eye, the business cards in Yan Chaochao's hand could be used to play poker!
[…What the hell? Are directors so worthless these days? Have they become as cheap as cabbage?]
I'm almost done with the word "director," and the same thing goes for "general manager"...are there already so many executives these days?
[I'm sorry, I feel like I'm holding back my age group TAT]
[I just seemed to be in front of the camera and saw our big boss (dumbfounded)]
[This isn't an alumni reunion, it's clearly a gathering of humanity's elite!]
What kind of magical high school is this?
After saying goodbye to another person who greeted him, Yan Chaochao couldn't help but turn around and stare at Yan Xixi.
Being stared at by Yan Chaochao with such eyes, Yan Xixi immediately felt it and turned to meet Yan Chaochao's curious gaze, "What's wrong?"
"Xixi, you were so popular in school?" Yan Chaochao said with a slightly emotional tone, "So many people actually knew you and came over to say hello to you."
Hearing Yan Chaochao's words, Yan Xixi couldn't help but smile: "Do you think they have a good relationship with me?"
Yan Chaozhao nodded, a little confused: "What else?"
"What if I told you that I didn't even know most of them before?"
Hearing Yan Xixi's words, Yan Chaochao tilted his head in confusion: "Don't know him?"
"Of course." Sha Niannian, who had been following Yan Chaochao and Yan Xixi since the door, smiled and put her arm around Yan Chaochao's shoulders. "Do you think everyone is like me, sitting at the same table with Yan Xixi for three years?"
Yan Xixi looked at Sha Niannian's hand on Yan Chaochao's shoulder with a cold look, "Let go."
"Xixi, you really are becoming less fun as you grow older." While Sha Niannian let go, she did not forget to gently pinch Yan Chaochao's cheek.
In just a moment, Sha Niannian's eyes froze. "Holy crap! You don't even have any foundation at all. How do you achieve such good skin? Skincare? Or cosmetic surgery?"
"That's because my sister is naturally beautiful." Yan Xixi didn't give any face to Sha Niannian, with whom she had lived for three years.
After the fight, Yan Chaozhao still remembered the question: "So if they didn't know you, why did so many people come over to say hello to you?"
This time, without waiting for Yan Xixi's answer, Sha Niannian helped Yan Chaochao analyze.
"There are only two possibilities. The first is that he wants to show off his face in front of you and Yan Xixi. Maybe there will be a chance for cooperation this time. The other..." Sha Niannian turned her head to look at the camera, "It's just to take advantage of the live broadcast traffic..."
"Like me."
As she spoke, Sha Nianxiu showed her ring to the camera in 360 degrees: "Does it look good? There's a photo of it on the Aoyi Jewelry official website."
After saying that, Sha Niannian turned to look at Yan Chaozhao: "That's how you get traffic."
[Hahahahahahaha, God TM is stealing traffic]
[This guy doesn't look like a company leader at all. He's clearly a clown.]
[The person in charge of Aoyi Jewelry has worked very hard to promote their own products]
[I have to say it really did have a positive effect on me, but unfortunately after checking the official website, I found it to be too expensive. I might consider it if I have an important gift-giving occasion in the future.]
Many viewers in the live broadcast room also pondered the meaning of Sha Niannian's words.
I understand what the young lady means. This kind of occasion is actually mainly for expanding personal connections. Because of the existence of the live broadcast room, it also provides an opportunity to increase exposure.
Those who are invited to attend alumni associations are already very accustomed to such occasions and must know how to get the most benefits.
I just observed the people who came to say hello. 40% of them gave their business cards to Yan Chaochao. They might be here to expand their celebrity resources. But 60% of them gave their business cards to Yan Xixi. They might be here for possible future collaborations.
[At first, I shared the same idea as Yan Chaochao. I thought it was because Yan Xixi was popular during her school days and knew a lot of people (laughing and crying). It turns out I was too naive.]
I didn’t expect there would be so many twists and turns here.
While the audience in the live broadcast room were expressing their feelings, the crowd was slowly gathering in the auditorium.
***
Class 31, Senior High School.
When the get out of class was over, many students crowded into the corridor and looked out.
Because Shen Yunxin's leg had not recovered yet, he stayed in his seat during the break.
Luo Chen rushed to the corridor and squeezed to the front as soon as the bell rang.
"I heard that there's an alumni meeting today, and a lot of famous people have been invited to attend."
"I saw there are cameras downstairs... this is really a big deal!" A classmate mistook the program crew's filming equipment for the school's arrangement and spoke excitedly.
"I heard before that the school seems to be taking this alumni association very seriously and has even sent out invitations..."
"What are the criteria for being invited to the alumni association?"
"I'm not sure... like that alumnus a few years ago, donating a building to the school?"
When they heard the word "a building", the students who knew this story couldn't help but burst into laughter.
After watching the excitement, Luo Chen ran back excitedly and shared the situation outside with Shen Yunxin.
"There are so many people outside. The parking lot next to the school is full. There are two rows of cars parked next to the road in front of the school, and more cars are constantly driving in..."
Luo Chen described the grand occasion of the alumni association to Shen Yunxin with excited gestures.
"It seems like the school sent out special invitations this time. It seems like they must have invited some very important people."
Listening to Luo Chen's description, Shen Yunxin seemed to be able to imagine the situation outside.
Luo Chen: "But you still have to see it with your own eyes to feel it. This is a rare opportunity. Do you want to go out for a walk?"
"Ah? I..." Before Shen Yunxin could say no, Luo Chen pulled her up from her seat almost forcefully and took her to the corridor.
When looking down, Shen Yunxin's gaze fell on the crowd, and his sight suddenly paused slightly.
That figure seemed...
“Ding-ling-ling——”
The ringing of the phone suddenly interrupted Shen Yunxin's attention.
Amid the sighs and groans around him, Shen Yunxin didn't have time to think any further before being supported by Luo Chen and carried back to the classroom.
As the teacher walked into the classroom, Shen Yunxin quickly put the figure he had just seen behind him and began to focus all his attention on the teacher's teaching content.
Although his injured leg still felt a little uncomfortable, Shen Yunxin would not let these things affect his concentration.
Focus...
Focus more.
Shen Yunxin stared at the blackboard with a serious expression.
Only in this way can he have the confidence to face the challenge of the college entrance examination.
***
Before this alumni meeting, when the school sent out invitations, it also invited Yan Xixi to give a speech.
Originally, Yan Xixi had rejected the invitation, but after confirming that Yan Chaochao would go to the alumni meeting with her, Yan Xixi called the school contact that evening.
The moment she heard her name, Yan Xixi pursed her lips, feeling a little uncomfortable.
But when he turned around and saw Yan Chaozhao's eyes shining and clapping continuously, this discomfort disappeared in an instant.
[Holy crap! The outstanding alumni representative is actually Yan Xixi!]
[Though it's not surprising when I think about it, I still feel like the dimensional wall is breaking...]
I've always had a vague idea of Xixi's excellence, but when I saw Xixi speak as an outstanding representative, I finally had a more concrete feeling about how outstanding Xixi really is.
[Hahahahahahaha, I know it's your sister on the stage, but Yan Chaozhao's expression is too funny.]
[It’s so funny, Yan Chaochao now looks like a parent who wants his daughter to become a successful person, watching his daughter become successful]
[Pfft—are you trying to make me laugh to death? What the hell are parents who want their daughters to be successful?! Did sisters become mother and daughter in an instant?]
Amidst thunderous applause from the audience, Yan Xixi stood on the stage, looking at the countless audience members below.
Having witnessed so many big occasions, Yan Xixi is no longer nervous in such occasions.
But her eyes searched the crowd, and when she saw that familiar face, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up: "Good morning everyone, I'm Yan Xixi. The topic of today's speech is..."
While Yan Xixi was giving a speech, Yan Chaochao couldn't help but pull on the sleeve of Sha Niannian next to him and pointed at Yan Xixi on the stage: "See, that's my sister!"
Hearing Yan Chaochao's boastful tone, Sha Niannian couldn't help laughing.
The next second, she also raised her hand and pointed at Yan Xixi on the stage: "See, that's my high school deskmate!"
Then, the two looked at each other for a few seconds and laughed almost at the same time.
When Yan Xixi saw Yan Chaochao and Sha Niannian laughing face to face from the stage, she paused for a rare moment.
so……
What are they talking about that makes them laugh so happily?
***
The alumni meeting was held in the auditorium in the morning.
At noon, under the organization of the school, all invited alumni went to a nearby restaurant for lunch.
After lunch, the campus is open for a rare period of time.
Yan Xixi, Yan Chaochao, and Sha Niannian, who was trying to keep up, walked together on campus and talked about their student days.
"Xixi must have been very popular when she was a student, right?" Yan Chaochao's eyes sparkled.
Hearing this, Yan Xixi thought for a moment: "Actually, when I was a student, I wasn't very popular."
Yan Chaochao widened her eyes in surprise.
Sha Niannian, who was standing beside her, nodded in agreement. "That's the truth. After all, back then, you spent all your time studying. Even though we were deskmates, I couldn't find many opportunities to talk to you, let alone other people."
Yan Xixi smiled and said, "So I was surprised that so many people greeted me today. After all, I didn't have many friends back then."
"It doesn't matter." Yan Chaozhao looked at Yan Xixi, his eyes as clear as the sky, "You have me now."
"Um……"
Hearing Yan Chaochao's words, Yan Xixi was stunned at first, and then couldn't help laughing.
"Now I have you."
My friend...
my sister.
Seeing the two of them smiling at each other, Sha Niannian next to them couldn't help but touch her chin, and suddenly felt that she was a little redundant here.
***
Class 31, Senior High School.
When the school bell rang, Luo Chen looked at Shen Yunxin with some concern.
"We're having a party at home today, and my dad asked the driver to take me home directly. He was planning to take you home too..."
Luo Chen said, and suddenly gritted his teeth: "Otherwise... I'd better send you back..."
"No need." Shen Yunxin smiled and shook her head. "My legs are much better now. I can go back alone."
"But..." Thinking of the figures he saw at the school gate before, Luo Chen couldn't help feeling a little worried.
"Don't worry, you can come with me out of the school gate later. I'll take a taxi when I get there. I'll get in right away. Nothing will happen."
After hearing Shen Yunxin's words, although Luo Chen was still a little worried, he had no better way. After all, if he and his father disagreed, the driver would definitely listen to his father.
"Then I'll walk you out of the school gate later."
Shen Yunxin smiled and nodded.
Luo Chen accompanied Shen Yunxin to the school gate, but the driver arrived faster than expected.
"Or I should..." Luo Chen looked at Shen Yunxin worriedly, but Shen Yunxin held his shoulder with one hand.
"Alright, alright, go back without worry. I'm not a glass doll." Shen Yunxin smiled. "My taxi will be here soon. Nothing will happen."
Luo Chen lingered there for a while before getting in the car. Still worried, he rolled down the window and told Shen Yunxin, "Remember to tell me when you get home."
"Don't worry." Shen Yunxin and Luo Chen waved goodbye.
But when the two said goodbye, they didn't notice the prying eyes on the wall next to them.
"That person is gone..."
"action!"
Shen Yunxin was standing there with a cane, but suddenly heard a loud shout from the side: "Sister-sucking ghost, go to hell!"
In a flash, Shen Yunxin only saw a ferocious face and a shadow rushing towards him.
Just as Shen Yunxin closed his eyes, turned his head, and waited for the egg to hit his head, he never felt the expected pain.
Instead, I heard a cry of surprise from the side: "Why are you here?"
you?
Shen Yunxin opened her eyes cautiously.
The moment his eyes fell on the figure in front of him, Shen Yunxin was stunned.
Sister Chaochao?
