Chapter 251: Chapter 251: It seems that going on a transformation show is really useful!
If Du Qinglian was somewhat angry just a moment ago, now she was simply at a loss.
How had this child changed so much after coming out of the mountains?
Where had the obedient He Yun, who always did as she asked, gone?
On the other side, Shu Yan, who had waited a long time at the station, finally saw the car coming to pick her up.
She opened the car door with excitement, but her smile faded the instant she saw who was in the passenger seat.
“Sister Chen, why is it you? Where’s Ah Zhe?”
Sister Chen was Shu Yan’s agent, and her expression soured upon hearing this.
“Shu Yan, don’t take this the wrong way, but why is Fang Wenzhe always on your mind? Is he really worth your affection? Don’t you care about your career at all? I came here all happy to discuss this matter with you, you’ve finally cleared your name through this variety show, can’t you focus a bit more on your career?”
A trace of wistfulness crossed Shu Yan’s face.
“Sister Chen, I’m sorry for worrying you, but don’t be concerned, I’ll balance it all.”
Only then did Sister Chen’s expression lighten a bit, and just as she was about to advise Shu Yan further, she turned and saw her dialing Fang Wenzhe’s number on her phone.
Sister Chen suddenly didn’t want to speak anymore, turned her head, and took deep breaths in the passenger seat.
Shu Yan made five calls in total, but not a single one was answered.
Her mood shifted from initial excitement to disappointment.
But soon she consoled herself, perhaps he was just busy with work?
Half an hour later, the car arrived at an old residential area.
Sister Chen still wanted to discuss some matters, but Shu Yan didn’t look back, hurrying away with her luggage.
Returning to the small home of her memories, the moment she opened the door, she felt let down once more.
There really was no one at home.
A wave of fatigue hit her, and Shu Yan slumped onto the sofa, staring blankly at the peeling ceiling above her head.
Unlike the others’ glitz and glamour, hers was only superficial.
In truth, she lived like a reptile lurking in a dark corner.
Without any backing, in the costly Capital, she couldn’t afford a decent house and had to settle for this old, decrepit apartment.
Her gaze shifted downward, landing on the wedding photo on the opposite wall.
At least, she still had her Ah Zhe for comfort.
The days in the small mountain village passed like a dream.
Once awake, everyone returned to their normal lives.
At eight in the evening, the live stream of Flash Change began on time.
Director Sun had already been eagerly waiting for everyone online.
Qi Tianyu was the first to log on.
As the earliest departing guest, he had not forgotten about the show; on the contrary, he was constantly concerned about everyone.
After all, it had been a long time since he had participated in a variety show that suited his tastes and met people who matched his preferences.
The moment the connection was successful, before even appearing on camera, Qi Tianyu couldn’t wait to shout.
“Hurry, hurry, hurry, Director Sun, connect us to Jiang Li and Jiang Yan’s live stream, I want to be in the front row for the show!”
“Don’t rush, the others haven’t arrived yet.”
“I’m dying of anxiousness here! You have no idea how jealous I was watching you guys have fun there, I was so bored doing shows in the Capital on my own!”
When did his transformation variety show become one all about eating, drinking, and playing?
Gradually, the livestream room began to fill up with lots of online spectators.
In a little while, the number of online viewers broke one hundred thousand.
[Hahahaha I can hear Qi’s voice again, that’s great, my internet family is finally back together.]
[Wuwuwuwuwu Qi is finally open for business again, that’s fantastic, I’ve missed him so much.]
[Qi Tianyu is really deeply in love with Flash Change. He wouldn’t even go to the neighboring variety show when its director invited him for an interview, but as soon as he heard there was a livestream here, he ran right over.]
[Not just that, Qi is about to record the second season of ‘All-Round Brain’ soon. He narrowly missed the championship in the first season, so he’s gearing up with all his might for the second one, and he still finds the time to join a livestream amid all that preparation.]
Fans immediately started to appreciate Qi Tianyu’s dedication to his work.
A few minutes later, the other participants also started coming online one after another.
Shu Yan connected from her home, but the sharp-eyed viewers still noticed that something was off with her, which she explained was due to exhaustion.
In contrast, Wen Jiaojiao seemed much more energetic, having rested for a day; not only was her complexion rosy, but her voice was also full of vigor.
“Director Sun, quit stalling, we want to see Lili, connect us!”
He Yun, who had just gotten home and then joined the group, also nodded, “Yes, now that everyone’s here, we should switch to Jiang Li and their livestream.”
So you guys all came to see Jiang Li, huh?
Such cold-blooded little brats!
He cleared his throat and said, “President Shang won’t be able to make it tonight due to some business, and Mr. Su is still busy, so let’s wait for her a while longer.”
Wen Jiaojiao immediately rolled her eyes.
“Weren’t we supposed to start at eight? If someone can’t make it, then so be it. What’s with being late?”
Even the attentive viewers noticed that Princess Wen, who was usually known for being late and acting like a diva, had become unusually punctual.
For an eight o’clock livestream, she had logged on and was waiting by seven fifty.
It seemed like being on the transformation show really paid off!
Finally, after another ten minutes, Su Yinwan arrived fashionably late.
As soon as she came online, she apologized profusely, “I just returned to the company today and had loads of business piled up after being away for a few days. I’ve only just managed to get it all sorted out, sorry everyone for making you wait.”
Wen Jiaojiao was already growing impatient, “Knowing you’re wrong is good enough, no need to waste everyone’s time with your excuses. Are we supposed to just sit here and listen to you explain?”
Shu Yan and He Yun maintained a neutral stance and did not speak.
Qi Tianyu wanted to say something, but looking at the Su Yinwan before him, he felt a strange sense of unfamiliarity and decided to just be an observer instead.
Worried that if the delay continued, these two big shots would start quarreling again, Director Sun hurriedly changed the subject.
“Now that everyone’s here, let’s all watch the livestream together.”
“Assistant, you can switch to the Chixia Village feed now.”
The moment the words were spoken, the livestream split into two screens. On top were Director Sun and the other guests, and on the bottom was the Chixia Village livestream.
It was already eight in the evening, but the sky over Chixia Village had just started to darken, with the light purple sunset turning the entire evening sky into an intoxicating painting.
Just as everyone was immersed in this beautiful scene, the camera suddenly shook, and a white blob abruptly appeared on the screen.
Wen Jiaojiao immediately shouted, “What is that offending my eyes?!”
That ‘thing’ was none other than Jiang Yan.
[Ahhhh I can’t take it, why is the young master shirtless again?!]
[My eyes, like the Princess’s, have suffered a hundred points of damage.]
[I mean, at least he had long pants on in the morning, how come now he’s down to just a pair of underwear?!]
[Lili, come and manage your brother! Tens of thousands of viewers are being indecently assaulted by him!]
