Chapter 74: Fake Daughter in the Entertainment Industry
"Grandpa, press this... yes, press this... um, now you can type it out!"
Su Youran patiently taught the old man how to use a smartphone over and over again, while Xie Yan sat on the side and watched with a smile.
This scene is considered the most heartwarming and touching scene in the first season of "Dad, Let's Go on a Trip". When it was broadcast, the ratings broke the highest peak record in the same time period.
This even triggered a series of advocacy by the central media for caring for left-behind elderly people, and Lemon TV and the program team were specifically praised for the positive energy promoted in the program, saying that it "showed the image that a contemporary public news media should show."
Countless netizens shed tears:
"I don't know why. It's not particularly sentimental, but I just feel so uncomfortable. I feel so upset watching it..."
"Wow, I've cried my eyes out. As a migrant worker in Beijing, no matter how hard or tiring the work is, or how difficult life is, I always grit my teeth and persevere without shedding a single tear. I originally watched this show to see the cute kids happy in my spare time, but I didn't expect to see this kind of scene. I instantly thought of my parents far away in my hometown and burst into tears!"
"I'm a student and I don't have a job yet. But I felt that high school was too strict, so I just wanted to live a carefree life in college. I applied for colleges that were farther away from home than the last. But when I really left home, I realized that there's no place like home! I'm sorry, Mom and Dad, I regret it... I want to be with you, and I want to go back and eat the meals mom cooks every day..."
"While we are out eating and drinking, laughing and chatting with friends, our parents may be eating simple meals, saving every penny, waiting for us to go back to see them, waiting to subsidize us who are not doing well... Whenever I think of this, I can't stop crying."
"Oh my god, upstairs, I could have held back my tears, but you said that and I burst into tears! I'm sorry, Mom and Dad! I will call you every day from now on!"
"I just finished a phone call. When my mom heard my voice sounded strange, she thought something was wrong with me. She was so anxious that she almost bought a ticket to come over right away... Woohoo, now my roommate and I are hugging each other and crying like dogs."
"I still live with my parents, and my workplace is not far from home, but I seldom chat with them. I get up in the morning, wash up and leave, and go on dates with friends after get off work in the evening. I remember that no matter how late I get home every day, my mother would always hear the noise and come out to pour me a glass of water and say 'you're back'. Sometimes when she was in a bad mood, she would feel impatient, thinking that I was so restricted at such a age, and often spoke to them in a harsh tone... Now when I think about it, I wish I could slap myself to death for being so unfilial! I'm sorry, Mom and Dad! I was wrong..."
Topics such as #I’m sorry, Mom and Dad##Go home more often##Call home right now# were on the hot headlines, and #Ranran the little angel# firmly occupied the top spot on the hot search list.
"Wow, where did this little angel come from? So sensible, so considerate, and so kind. Did Xie Yan save the galaxy in his previous life?"
"To be honest, maybe I don't really like children, so I didn't feel anything when you all praised the little princess for her beauty. So what if she's pretty now? Aren't there many examples of people who were good when they were young but not as good when they grew up? But after my gay friend recommended this clip to me, a straight-laced girl, I instantly fell for the little princess! Ranran, from now on you are my girl! Forever!"
"The guy upstairs is shameless, she's obviously my daughter!"
"All of you fake moms, get out of the way. I won't hide anything now. I'm telling you the truth. I'm Xie Yan's current girlfriend. I swear I will treat the little princess as my own child and always treat her well! Please bless our family of three!"
"……………………Do you think we will believe it?"
"I don't believe it! You're dreaming!"
"Don't believe it! You're dreaming +1"
"I don't believe it! You're just dreaming..."
"I'm sorry, I really don't want to disrupt the formation, but... hurry up and check the latest report! It turns out that the little princess paid for smartphones for all the elderly people in Gutong Village with her own red envelopes!!"
"Oh my god, my girlfriend is so beautiful and kind! From today on, I will be your die-hard fan! I will never stop being your fan!"
"I used to envy the little princess for having Xie Yan as her father, who helped her win at the starting line. But now... wow, I'm so jealous that Xie Yan has an angel daughter like Ranran! Even I, who has been a solo womb-born woman, want to steal a child..."
"Wow, Xie Yan's studio also issued an announcement. Xie Yan is going to set up a 'You Ran Charity Foundation' to specifically help left-behind, lonely elderly people, and children!"
"Ah, I can only say that the little princess is so kind. In addition to her natural kindness, she also has a good family education. Although Xie Yan is a young father, he really plays a good guiding role. Thumbs up!"
"I've become a fan of Xie Yanlu."
"I'm an old fan of Xie Yan. I couldn't stand the shock after he revealed he had a daughter, so I stopped being his fan. But now! I'm back again!! Just for this reason, no matter what happens in the future, as long as it's not against the law, I! Will! Never! Stop being his fan!"
Miao Xingye looked at the online reviews, smiled comfortably, and said to Jiang Hanying who was sitting at the top:
"According to the data, Xie Yan's image was indeed damaged due to the previous amusement park incident, and his number of fans also dropped a bit, but now it has not only recovered, but also gained a lot of new fans. The public's favorability has also greatly improved."
Sitting next to him were other members of the team, all with excitement and surprise on their faces. One of them added:
"We have also received an interview invitation from the national television station, and an invitation for a public service announcement that will be broadcast during prime time on CCTV!"
Jiang Hanying played with her phone in one hand and placed the other on the table, her legs crossed, facing the conference table. Thinking of that caring little guy, and then looking at the various benefits brought about by her unintentional actions, her expression softened:
"Then keep up this momentum and make sure to maintain their good image. Accept both invitations. There will only be benefits and no harm."
He seemed to have thought of something, turned his chair, put his elbows on the table, and his eyes suddenly became sharp:
"But there's no need to over-guide the little one. Her value lies in her innocence and pure heart. I don't want anything or anyone to destroy this for any reason! I believe Xie Yan wouldn't agree to that either. Do you understand?"
Miao Xingye was helpless:
"Of course we know that you, as a biological father and a would-be godfather, love each other, but we are not bad people. Ranran is so lovely, who wouldn't love her?"
Everyone here is not an outsider, there are not so many rules, everyone is laughing:
"Boss Jiang, if you agree, I want to be the little princess's foster brother. I will definitely love her very much!"
"roll!"
Jiang Hanying picked up the pen at hand and threw it at the person who was speaking:
"You still want to take advantage of me and Xie Yan? This month's salary is gone!"
"Ah! No! Mr. Jiang, I was wrong!"
"Hahaha, you deserve it for speaking without restraint!"
The young guys in the team are in a mess. If the artists develop well, they will also benefit from it. Moreover, Xie Yan and Jiang Hanying are really conscientious bosses in the industry. They are humble and generous with money. How can they not be happy?
Jiang Hanying looked at the scene in front of him and just smiled. He reached out to touch his phone, and the screen lit up. It was a photo of him and Su Youran.
The photo was taken when they were having dinner together. He held the little one in his arms, and the two of them smiled brighter than flowers. Xie Yan seemed very unhappy at that time.
Jiang Hanying added fuel to the fire with evil taste and set the photo as the screensaver right in front of him, which made Xie Yan so angry that he almost snatched his phone and threw it away.
Thinking of this, Jiang Hanying's eyes were filled with smile.
Ah, I am still a little jealous of that boy! How can he be so lucky? He can get such a good treasure by accident.
Think about the banquet where Xie Yan was plotted against, he was also present. At that time...
If it were him instead...
Jiang Hanying was shocked by his sudden thought and couldn't help laughing. What? What on earth am I thinking about?
However, this thought did not disappear. Instead, it was recalled from time to time in the following days and months, and even gradually became the most unknown obsession in his heart.
Of course, this is all later. Currently, Su Youran and Xie Yan are still recording the show.
Due to Su Youran’s video proposal near noon, Director Zhang Heng thought it was a very good idea that could enhance the spiritual value of the program and might even yield unexpected benefits.
Therefore, a brief meeting was specially convened for the staff and guests, and the original afternoon recreation plan was temporarily changed to a visit to the left-behind elderly.
Because most of the young and middle-aged people in the village have gone out to work, the rest are mostly middle-aged and elderly people with limited mobility or who have to take care of fields and crops, as well as children. There are many families to visit, so the five groups of guests acted separately.
Zhang Heng asked the village chief and village committee cadres to lead the way, and the guests visited each family one by one.
The program crew drove to the city to buy a lot of things, including rice, flour, grain, oil, various fruits, and tonic gift boxes. The most special thing was the dozens of smartphones that Su Youran proposed and paid for, and Xie Yan sent people to buy.
Several fathers watched their own children earnestly teaching the elderly how to use mobile phones, watched the elderly's curious and warm expressions, watched the two faces close together, one young and the other old, one representing new life and the other representing decline, and their hearts were filled with mixed emotions.
If they regarded this as just an ordinary job before recording the show, then now, at this moment, seeing this strong contrast, they truly felt the significance of this trip.
Go out and see more of the world, children. You are the hope of the future, the pillars of society, and the backbone of the country.
Whether the world can become a better place depends entirely on you.
The five groups of guests met on the road, and several children gathered together happily:
"Of course, I have taught another grandma, am I great?"
"Yeah, Hee-cheol brother is awesome!"
"Of course, I also taught grandpa how to send voice messages!"
"Wow, is Sister Yutong so amazing?"
"Of course, I downloaded a video app for grandma and told her she can watch it when she's bored. It's very interesting!"
"Brother Junchen, you know so much!"
"Of course, I left my home phone number for my grandparents, and I saved theirs as well. If they need help, they can contact me... and my parents. I will remember to call them, too!"
"Brother Yichuan, you are so thoughtful. I want to do the same!"
The five adults stood aside and smiled at each other.
The weather is really nice today.
