Chapter 13: Inner entertainment Empress Dowager + Trending search master

The *Meeting You* cabin was located in a picturesque farmhouse courtyard in the capital.

Of course, while it was called a farmhouse courtyard, it was actually a small village built by the *Meeting You* program team at a great cost.

They couldn't really let the big-name guests live in a village, right?

The audience wouldn't like to watch that either.

Chi Ye carried his suitcase, standing alone outside the farmhouse courtyard, carefully examining this "small courtyard" where he would live for "21 days."

This wasn't a small courtyard at all; it was practically like moving a villa over!

"Was I a bit too blunt just now?"

Chi Ye didn't rush to go in, turning to ask his follow-up PD.

After moving into the cabin, Li Dao wouldn't follow him anymore; only when he was on "location" for a long time would he come over to be in charge of work again.

The follow-up PD teacher blinked and didn't speak, but the meaning was obvious—did he even need to ask?

Chi Ye pondered.

This was also a question he had been thinking about on the way here.

After the pre-interview ended, the system's favorability points grew slowly, and he felt a bit "self-blaming."

It seemed he really couldn't play a persona, and since that was the case...

Then he could only try his best to keep his mouth shut and not talk nonsense.

He hoped he could hold on for a little longer.

Chi Ye set a goal in his heart and then signaled to the PD: "Let's go, let's go in."

As he spoke, he pushed open the wooden door with a "creak," and what came into view was a courtyard full of flowers and plants, with two luxurious RVs parked on the side, along with a group of assistant staff.

Chi Ye was slightly stunned, seeing the program team members who were clearly separated from this side, and asked in surprise: "Didn't they say we couldn't bring assistants over?"

The PD was silent: "You can't participate in the program recording. Today is the first day, they will leave after helping to tidy up things."

Chi Ye: "..."

He could only nod. Just as he was about to step toward the cabin, he noticed a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, dressed exquisitely, standing at the foot of the wall in the courtyard, looking down at the paper in his hand, gesturing from time to time, muttering something to himself, his facial features flying around, sometimes crying bitterly, sometimes ecstatic.

The heavyweight guest of *See You, Jerk*, Yang Zi.

Chi Ye endured and endured, but still couldn't help it, turning to look at the camera and the PD: "How disjointed must this script be written? It's only because of a veteran actor like Teacher Yang Zi that he can control his emotions so freely."

"But he's already over fifty, you make him cry and laugh, isn't that a bit difficult for him?"

"No abusing the elderly!"

"Hmm... *cough cough*!"

The PD was made to look awkward, and the assistant girl covered her mouth.

"Quick, what is Teacher Yang Zi doing! Who told him to write a script for himself!"

Li Dao, who was still standing on the side, saw this, his beard standing up, and he was furious: "How come he brought the bad habits from the last variety show over here!"

"I'll go, I'll go..."

The staff next to him were sweating profusely and hurried over to remind Yang Zi.

"Your program really is the most real program, you didn't lie, this can even be broadcast live."

Chi Ye said it with satisfaction, his mood inexplicably comfortable.

At the same time.

【Favorability +1】

【Favorability +1】

【Favorability +...!】

The favorability points actually started to grow at a rapid speed!

This is?

Chi Ye was startled, thoughtful.

So it didn't grow just now because there were too few people in the live broadcast room?

Mango Video, *Meeting You · Chi Ye* live broadcast room.

"Laughing to death, caught looking at the script in private on the first episode of the program?"

"Does the jinx Chi Ye know how to respect the old senior? If you do this, I'll become your fan!"

"Speaking of which, does Yang Zi want to progress that much? Divorced and still on a variety show, fifty years old, is it the age to come out and venture?"

"I was amused by Chi Ye's pre-interview when I came in just now."

"Hurry in! Hurry to the group dance of demons, Teacher Huang poisons everyone with a pot of green beans, and the whole season ends!"

"Just came from Teacher Huang's live broadcast room, Teacher Huang is filming elsewhere today, he can only move in tomorrow, don't think about it."

"..."

Chi Ye didn't know that the good senior he "collaborated with for the second time" wasn't in the cabin right now; if he knew, he would definitely breathe a sigh of relief.

At this moment, he walked to the door of the cabin alone with a suitcase, while Yang Zi on the other side, after being reminded, hurriedly put away his script and looked up at Chi Ye sideways.

His expression was displeased.

But considering that he was recording a program now, and Chi Ye had "great use" for him.

He still walked over with his hands behind his back, holding his posture: "You're here?"

Chi Ye glanced at him: "I'm here."

"You young people, participating in a program, bringing so many people, wasting money and labor..."

Yang Zi stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence.

Because he discovered that Chi Ye was empty-handed behind him, with no team following him at all.

He just carried a suitcase and stood there alone.

"Uh... let me carry it for you."

Yang Zi showed the composure of an old artist, not feeling awkward or abrupt at all, his emotions controlled freely, and he picked up Chi Ye's suitcase and walked into the house.

"Ouch, so heavy, what did you pack inside?"

Suddenly, his body sank, a look of shock on his face.

Chi Ye was dumbfounded for two seconds: "I only have three pieces of clothing inside."

"... Let's go inside, rest a bit." Yang Zi's expression returned to normal.

Watching the other person's back as they walked through the door, Chi Ye held it in for a long time, then asked the PD: "Does he have a performative personality?!"

Li Dao: "..."

He patted his own forehead.

Although it was just a small episode, he could already imagine how "lively" this cabin would be in the next 21 days.

On the other side, Yang Zi pretended to be struggling to put Chi Ye's suitcase in the living room, panting, and stole a glance at the camera—he panted even harder!

"This isn't three pieces of clothing, you lying little kid! Hmph!"

He secretly felt proud in his heart: Little guy, won't this wave make the audience feel sorry for me?!

After the lessons learned from *See You, Lover*, this time, he had made full preparations, stayed at home for a whole month, and hired a top scriptwriting team to tailor a top-tier script for himself!

This time, he wanted to prove to those who mocked him before that a hardworking player is no worse than any talented player!

And Chi Ye was the main target he was stepping on for this variety show.

Others might look down on Chi Ye because of his status.

He wouldn't.

Because no one knew better than him how vulnerable hard work is when a talented player appears.

Chi Ye was the "Wheat King" (the one who steals the spotlight) in *Meeting You*!

Chi Ye didn't know that his status in Yang Zi's heart was "so high."

He walked into the living room and, under the PD's signal, prepared to pick a room first.

"Our Xia Xia must live in the room with the best location and the most sunlight!"

Suddenly, a strong female voice came from upstairs: "And there can't be anyone else living next to the room, otherwise it will disturb Xia Xia's rest. If Xia Xia doesn't rest well, she won't have energy the next day, and how can she cooperate with you to record the program?"

"Also, Xia Xia likes tulips, the room must be filled with tulips. Your conditions here are so poor, I don't even know if the water is clean, our team has to send water and healthy ingredients to Xia Xia every day..."

Another highly recognizable spoiled voice sounded: "Oh my, Sister Mi, don't be like this, I'm here to participate in the program, you're affecting others like this is not good, didn't we agree, don't cause trouble for others, if you do this again, I won't record it!"

The female voice instantly became gentle: "Xia Xia, it won't affect others, why don't we just send some to the others too?"

"The room next door must have people living in it." Jin Xia's voice, which made one's scalp tingle, sounded again.

"... Alright."

"Oh, by the way, the tulips must be air-freighted, the last batch wasn't good, not as fresh as the air-freighted ones."

Everyone: "..."

"It seems like a new guest has arrived."

"Let's go down and see."

"Xia Xia, don't rush, watch the stairs, what if you fall... you guys hurry and support her!"

A flurry of activity upstairs.

Chi Ye looked up at the stairs, exclaiming: "Did the program team invite an Empress Dowager? Why does she need someone to support her just to go down the stairs?"

"*Cough cough*."

The PD coughed on the side, signaling him to be cautious—this person was different from the other guests.

But the bullet comments in the live broadcast room had already exploded.

"Xia Xia!!"

"Xia Xia's live broadcast room is closed, I didn't expect to hear her voice here."

"Baby daughter! Mommy loves you!"

"Vomiting, that a drama queen like Jin Xia can be popular, you brainless fans are all to blame!"

"Laughing to death, why is Chi Ye's mouth so toxic."

"Inner entertainment Empress Dowager! This program is really full of talents, all of them are ghosts that everyone hates."

"Xia Xia's two leading female roles averaged 70 million+ per episode, one main drama female lead averaged over 100 million per episode, a top-tier popular actress, don't be jealous, some family."

"Don't come to touch porcelain, some Ning family fans, your sister only deserves to act in idol dramas for the rest of her life!"

"Oh no! Chi Ye is right there, won't he make Jin Xia cry on the spot!?"

"Chi Ye, go die! If you dare to touch Xia Xia again, I'll make you look good!"

The bullet comments fell into a chaotic battle, and a large group of people had already walked down the stairs.

And the one surrounded by everyone like stars around the moon was the first-tier actress in the *Meeting You* program, second only to Teacher Huang and Teacher Lü in status, the truly popular first-tier traffic star—Jin Xia.

Chi Ye looked up curiously at the other party, and then froze in place.

It wasn't that Jin Xia was devastatingly beautiful, but... her appearance was too distinct.

She had a pitiful, top-tier face, and a pair of iconic peach-blossom eyes with naturally drooping corners, which gave people a sense of pity at first glance.

But her figure was very tall, a pair of long legs that could be called leg-queen level, and her skin looked like it had been pampered since childhood, breakable by a blow, white and milky.

The figure of a royal sister, the features of a fairy, combined with that naturally highly recognizable spoiled voice, no wonder countless haters and audiences hated her so much.

Because one look at this face made people subconsciously feel that this was a seductive bitch, not a good girl.

At this moment, Jin Xia, who was surrounded by everyone and being checked with concern, also saw Chi Ye, slightly stunned, and then...

Turned around and ran.

This person had touched her heat before, she knew!

"Eh, Xia Xia, where are you going?"

"I... I want to drink water!"

"Water... water, Xiao Zhang, take a bottle of San Pellegrino and heat it up for Xia Xia, she can't drink cold water!"

The manager was in a hurry and ran upstairs again.

Everyone: "..."

"Then let's first..."

The general director who had already arrived in the living room opened his mouth.

As a result, not long after, the sound of "thump thump thump" came again, and Jin Xia ran down again, panting, with team members behind her carrying various international brand packaging bags.

"Nice to meet you, I'm very happy to know everyone, I hope everyone will take care of our Xia Xia in the future."

The manager was full of smiles and very politely gave gifts to everyone one by one.

Everyone was pleasantly surprised.

To be honest, in *Meeting You*, Teacher Huang and Teacher Lü's status was high because of their seniority and qualifications.

In terms of traffic and popularity, Jin Xia was actually the NO1 in *Meeting You*.

On this side, Jin Xia herself took a black Armani packaging bag and handed it to Chi Ye.

Chi Ye was surprised and took it.

Jin Xia looked left and right, pleading in a very small voice: "I gave you a gift, can you please not touch my heat, every time you touch it, the internet is full of people scolding me, and Sister Mi will also scold me."

Chi Ye was stunned, looking at this pitiful face, the voice was very spoiled and pinched, making him unable to tell whether the other party was acting or real.

However, the other party did have such a motive.

——Because the original owner was a big jinx, and Jin Xia was actually a little actress with an explosive reputation, the two clashed, the original owner touched others and everyone scolded the original owner, the original owner touched Jin Xia, and everyone scolded Jin Xia for being shameless.

You ask why?

Because she just had a face that looked shameless!

He paused and said sincerely: "I'll try my best."

"Try your best?"

Jin Xia's pretty face was dumbfounded.

How can a person's mouth say such things?

Chi Ye promised: "Micro-touch, don't worry, from now on, at most micro-touch, high-level touch, that kind of accident last time will absolutely not happen again."

Jin Xia: "..."

She turned around and walked back with a hunched back.

Deciding not to pay attention to Chi Ye anymore.

"This can also happen?!"

In the corner, Yang Zi, who was secretly hiding, witnessed the whole process and was dumbfounded.

Can you still touch the top traffic so openly?!

Also, if he had known, he would have given the gift first!

Yang Zi secretly regretted it—

Sure enough, the competition in this variety show was even more intense than *See You, Jerk*!

High-end game!

"Alright... now everyone is here, oh, let me say here, Teacher Huang, Lin Jingyi, and Teacher Lü still have some work matters to deal with, they can only officially move into the cabin tomorrow."

With Chi Ye's arrival, someone called the last guest, Shi Daifu, down, and after some pleasantries, the guests currently moving into the *Meeting You* cabin were gathered.

The general director signaled everyone to sit on the sofa, and then announced the survival rules of the *Meeting You* cabin.

"First of all, welcome everyone to move into the *Meeting You* cabin."

"From today on, you will live together in this cabin for 21 days."

"During this period, except for necessary daily necessities, you are not allowed to carry any food, water..."

"Eh, wait."

Jin Xia's manager on the side was about to speak.

"Sister Mi, you promised me!" Jin Xia looked at her manager with puffed cheeks.

Manager: "... Alright, but is the food in your program team hygienic? It's not Italian San Pellegrino water, Xia Xia won't drink it, and as for ingredients, we must eat air-freighted organic vegetables..."

"*Cough cough*, the food in our program team is very healthy."

The general director frowned, others were afraid of Jin Xia... he was of course afraid too, but he was afraid of Jin Xia's background, not a small manager.

"Alright, please continue."

"Hmm, continuing from what I just said, in short, all ingredients in the *Meeting You* cabin need to be obtained by the guests themselves. At the same time, the program team will give everyone a fixed daily living allowance. As for how to spend the living allowance specifically, you need to discuss it yourselves."

"Finally, I wish everyone to return to their truest selves in the *Meeting You* cabin and spend a pleasant 21 days." ===== CHAPTER 14 =====
