Chapter 57 Variety Show Invitation
It was late at night when the two children were handed over to Wen Ning. Wen Ning was treating Lan Jingyi's mouth wound with a medical kit. Si Zhui sat obediently beside him, helping pass cotton swabs. When he saw Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji come in, he quickly stood up and said, "Daddy, father."
“Wen Ning, thank you for your help.” Wei Wuxian ruffled Sizhui’s hair. “Let Jingyi sleep with you tonight. I’m afraid he’ll wake up in pain in the middle of the night.”
Wen Ning quickly waved his hand, "It's not a big deal, Young Master Wei. Please go back quickly. They might still be waiting for you at the banquet."
Lan Wangji glanced at his watch. "There's still time." He walked over to Sizhui, bent down, and placed a soft kiss on his forehead. "Go to bed early. You have school tomorrow."
Si Zhui nodded and watched the two figures disappear through the doorway before sitting back down next to Wen Ning and whispering, "Brother Wen Ning, do you think Daddy and Father will be angry?"
Wen Ning helped Lan Jingyi put on the Band-Aid and said with a smile, "How could that be? They're already hurting you." He picked up the unfinished osmanthus cake dough on the table and said, "Do you want to keep learning? Make it and give it to them for breakfast tomorrow."
The two children's attention was immediately diverted. They gathered around the kitchen counter and carefully followed Wen Ning in kneading the dough.
Elsewhere, when Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji rushed back to the banquet, the guests were still quite numerous. The melodious sound of violins drifted through the hall, and elegantly dressed people, drinking and chatting, formed a stark contrast to the chaos on the basketball court.
“Looks like I didn’t miss out on much.” Wei WuXian picked up a glass of champagne and took a sip. “Luckily, I didn’t miss the chance to earn some like points.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a woman in a smart suit and black-framed glasses walked over, holding a tablet in her hand and a polite smile on her face. "Excuse me, are you Mr. Wei Ying and Mr. Lan Zhan? I'm the producer of the show 'Family Time', and my name is Lin Wei."
Wei Wuxian raised an eyebrow: "'Family Time'? That very popular reality show?" He had seen it during a break on the set some time ago. It tells the daily lives of several different types of families and has a very high viewership rate.
"Yes." Lin Wei nodded and handed over the tablet with a program introduction and past episodes on it. "We're preparing for a new season and would like to invite some unique families to join. Mr. Wei is a national film actor, Mr. Lan is a business leader, and they have two adorable children. This combination is sure to bring a lot of freshness to the audience."
Wei Wuxian looked at Lan Wangji with a questioning look in his eyes. Participating in variety shows was indeed a good way to quickly gain popularity. Showcasing daily family life in front of the camera could not only boost their popularity, but also didn't require any deliberate effort. It was simply tailor-made for them.
Lan Wangji watched the program clips on the tablet, his eyes falling on the scenes of family interactions. After a moment of silence, he asked, "What do I need to do?"
"It's simple," Lin Wei explained quickly. "We'll send someone to film your life, but we won't interfere too much in your life. We'll mainly record your daily life, like cooking together, taking the kids to school, weekend trips, and so on. Of course, if you'd like, we can also design some special family activities."
Wei Wuxian already had an idea in mind. He nudged Lan Wangji's arm and smiled slyly, "Boss Lan, what do you think... how about we film 'The CEO and the Movie King's Daily Life with Their Kids'? It's sure to be a hit."
Lan Wangji glanced at him, a hint of indulgence flashing in his eyes: "You want to participate?"
“Think about those 1 billion likes.” Wei Wuxian lowered his voice. “Maybe after recording one season, we’ll be halfway there.”
[Ding! A potential path to large-scale likeability has been detected. The system recommends accepting the invitation.]
The system's prompt sounded, as if testifying to Wei Wuxian's words.
Lan Wangji nodded. "Okay." He looked at Lin Wei. "I'll have my assistant contact you regarding the details. I have two requirements: first, don't disturb the children's schooling; second, the content of the filming must be reviewed by us."
Lin Wei didn't expect it to go so smoothly. Her eyes widened in surprise. "No problem! We can definitely accommodate your schedule!" She quickly took out the contract. "Here's the letter of intent. You can take a look at it first. We can discuss any questions you have."
Wei Wuxian took the letter of intent, glanced at it quickly, and handed it to Lan Wangji. Lan Wangji read a few pages, signed his name at the end, and handed the pen to Wei Wuxian again.
"It's a pleasure working with you!" Lin Wei excitedly shook their hands. "We'll arrange a time to film your visit as soon as possible and let you know in advance."
After seeing Lin Wei off, Wei WuXian leaned against the balcony railing, looking at the night view of the city in the distance. He couldn't help but laugh out loud, "I didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain. Now there's hope for me to go home."
Lan Wangji walked over to him and handed him a glass of warm water: "Drink less." He looked at the light in Wei Wuxian's eyes and added, "It's just a record of daily life, don't make it too serious."
“I know.” Wei WuXian took the water cup and stood shoulder to shoulder with him. “Actually, it’s quite interesting to think about it. Let’s take a picture of our current life. When we go back, we can take it out and look at it. It can be regarded as a souvenir.”
The night breeze, with a hint of coolness, blew Wei Wuxian's hair. Lan Wangji reached out to help him straighten it, his fingertips caressing his cheek, a touch of warmth.
"Yeah." He responded softly, his eyes falling on the end of the thousands of lights in the distance. The sky there was particularly bright, as if hiding the way home.
[Ding! Successfully received a variety show invitation, initial likeability +100,000. Current total progress: 1,105,000/100,000,000.]
The system notification chime sounded again, and this time, both Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji heard it clearly. They smiled at each other, each seeing the same thought in the other's eyes—it seemed that modern life would be even more "lively" than they had imagined.
