Chapter 42: Variety Show

Chapter 42

(Highlight: From this chapter onwards, there will be some entertainment industry plot elements, including a reality show. This can be considered as a side story for the female protagonist's gossip. Readers who dislike entertainment industry content can skip this part [pointing to])

Hearing that she could get a close-up view of celebrity gossip, Nian Suian was somewhat tempted. However, after thinking for a moment, she shook her head.

"Let's forget it. The show takes a week to film, and Zhijing still has school. It's not good to miss a week of classes in high school." The first year of high school was crucial for learning new knowledge, and sometimes falling behind even a little could make it hard to catch up. A week was too long and would interfere too much with studying.

At this moment, Gu Zhijing raised his hand: "I want to go! I can study on my own!" He looked particularly excited. Visitt novelbin(.)co/m for the latest updates

Nian Suian exposed his true intentions, "You little rascal, you just don't want to go to school, right?"

"Don't worry about that. It's almost the National Day holiday, isn't it? Our show will be filmed during the holiday. It's a live broadcast, not edited. The whole country is on vacation during National Day, so for the sake of ratings, it has to be filmed during the holiday," Qiao Peipei explained.

Nian Suian was still hesitating, after all, this wasn't a small matter. But Gu Zhijing was already excitedly discussing with Qiao Peipei about where the show would be filmed.

Nian Suian couldn't say much more. After all, she didn't mind, having nothing else to do. Participating in a reality show sounded quite interesting. But Gu Zhijing was different. He was still a minor, and whether he could appear on the show depended on his father's approval.

So she reminded him, "Gu Zhijing, don't get too excited yet. This isn't up to me to decide. Your dad has to agree first."

"So if my dad agrees, you'll go with me?" he asked.

"Yes, as long as your dad agrees," Nian Suian nodded.

"I'll go ask him right now."

Qiao Peipei added from behind, "Oh, if Mr. Gu is willing to participate, that would be even better. The three of you as a family can join the show too."

Nian Suian laughed when she heard this, "Don't even think about that. He definitely won't go." Based on her understanding of Gu Junxing, he would never participate in a reality show.

Meanwhile, Gu Zhijing had already started talking to his father. In a sense, Gu Zhijing was quite sociable. He didn't care that there were outsiders present and went straight to his father saying, "Dad, I want to participate in a reality show with Little Mom and Sister Peipei."

"What?" Gu Junxing questioned, not understanding how the topic of a reality show suddenly came up.

"Yes, yes, he agreed. You agreed too, right? You won't go back on your word, will you?"

"I agreed, I agreed. Really, I don't know why you're so eager to go."

"To brag when I go back to school!" Gu Zhijing said excitedly. "Going to a few countries or winning a bunch of games isn't as impressive as this. It'll be unique in our class."

Nian Suian and Qiao Peipei were both amused by Gu Zhijing's attitude. Nian Suian shook her head and said, "I really don't understand you boys and your strange competitive spirit."

"So you've decided to participate, right?" Qiao Peipei looked very happy.

"Yes, we'll participate."

"Then I'll call the director right away and tell him I've found two perfect guests!"

Afraid that Nian Suian might change her mind, Qiao Peipei immediately dialed the director's number in front of her.

"Hello, Director Wu, have you found the non-celebrity guests for our show yet?"

"You haven't? That's great! No, no, I don't mean it like that. I mean, I've found them for you. You'll be very satisfied. They're both very good-looking, even better-looking than me, really! They could debut as celebrities on the spot, I swear. Okay, I'll send you their basic information later."

"It's done," Qiao Peipei said to the two after hanging up the phone.

"That fast? The director doesn't even know what we look like," Nian Suian was a bit skeptical about this show. Wasn't this too hasty? Didn't the director need to meet the guests first?

"We're about to start filming and still couldn't find anyone. The director is getting desperate. He trusts my judgment. It's fine to meet once before filming starts."

"Alright then," Nian Suian nodded, half-believing.

In reality, the Qiao family was the show's sponsor. When Miss Qiao said she wanted to recommend someone, how could the director refuse? After all, they were non-celebrity guests, and the show's selling point didn't rely on them. It didn't matter who they were. Having someone recommended was even better, saving him the trouble of finding guests himself.

"Come on, let me tell you about the other participants in this show. I promise it'll be super exciting!"
