Demon King’s little brother starred in director Cui’s latest variety show, and even became the biggest sponsor of the program. The show became a hot topic and trended as soon as the preview was released.
After the preview was released, all the guests moved to the airport and boarded the plane to the first filming location. On the plane, Director Cui gave a brief introduction to the theme of this workday.
Director Cui said: “Your first workplace is the town of K, famous for its beautiful natural scenery. This small town is located deep in the mountains and was once a nationally known poor county due to its poor transportation. Later, with the construction of roads and high-speed railways, and with the support of the local tourism bureau, the local residents have become rich from tourism, and it has become a well-known domestic tourist attraction.”
“After the plane lands, you will go to a privately-owned gourmet restaurant located in K town. The restaurant owner, Song Jianchu, will formulate the business strategy and lead the celebrity staff to operate the restaurant for three days and two nights.”
“The final business income will be multiplied by the star rating given by all customers and the professional evaluation given by the original owner. The program group will provide double the bonus, which will be donated to needy social groups.”
After hearing the public welfare nature of the program, Bai Xingyu’s resentment at being deceived into working there dissipated somewhat. He nodded with his hands crossed, saying, “Then just follow the restaurant owner’s command to work. Three days and two nights is manageable and counts as a break. It’s easier than filming on a drama set.”
Mu Ye glanced over in the direction of the restaurant owner.
The restaurant owner was covered with a blanket, leaning on the reclined first-class seat, and looked like he was about to fall asleep, lazily drooping his eyelids while listening.
Pei Shinian raised his hand to ask, “How will our work and rest schedules be arranged?”
Director Cui replied, “Everything will be under the command of the restaurant owner.”
Pei Shinian glanced over at the sleepy restaurant owner, not daring to say or ask anything.
Pei Shinian could only murmur to himself, “This kid is only eighteen years old and has no social experience. Can he be relied on to run a store?”
He wasn’t the only one thinking this.
At the same time, the internet was already blowing up.
The entire internet has been divided into two camps, vigorously discussing this super internet celebrity’s debut on the variety show.
[Liu2341: Isn’t the Demon King’s little brother the number one internet celebrity? Has he accumulated enough popularity to officially enter the entertainment industry?]
[Love to eat flattened beans: I’m just saying, it’s not that I have a bias against internet celebrities, but this… isn’t it inappropriate to promote positive energy?]
[I am for the Demon King 666: Some people who hate the rich are really confusing. Can’t rich people promote positive energy? Why do you think that you will become corrupt just by being exposed to wealthy people? Maybe I’ve been to college, but I can’t understand your twisted logic.]
[Stinky treasure update: Yes, I admit that this little brother is a bit arrogant at times, but being arrogant doesn’t mean he’s bad! Some people need to be careful not to just spout nonsense, because you’ll have to pay the price for accusing the Demon King unfoundedly.]
[Being a scumbag’s dog: Seriously, is this about whether you’re arrogant or not, depending on whether you have money or not? The program group has a 18-year-old kid lead the team? Come on, with so many talented guests, why should my brother listen to a brat?]
[95-year-old aunt who follows Buddhism: Hahaha, I’m laughing so hard. Yes, the Demon King’s little brother is a bit young, but hasn’t he already graduated from college? Do you have to be old to be considered a member of society? Some people are so proud of their age and experience, what’s there to be proud of?]
…
This debate is still raging on the program’s official social media account.
Meanwhile, the person caught in the middle of this controversy is peacefully dreaming in the clouds of his high school days.
It’s a domestic flight, and the flight to the destination is not long. Since Song Jianchu didn’t sleep much last night, he can’t resist the urge to take a good three and a half hour nap on the plane.
After getting off the plane, the program guests boarded a bus to the small county town in the mountains, directly onto the highway.
During the recording, Song Jianchu still maintains a distance from Mu Ye and sits in the back row by himself without getting too close to Mu Ye.
The bus gets on the highway, and the program group temporarily returns everyone’s phones, allowing them to cooperate with the show’s promotion on Weibo.
Song Jianchu still looks lazy as he takes his phone and opens Weibo, and as expected, he finds that his comment section has exploded.
Song Jianchu calmly opens his comment section and quickly brushes off any doubts or criticism. It’s already the afternoon, and maybe everyone on the bus has seen the online controversy, so it suddenly becomes very quiet.
Pei Shinian sat in the second-to-last row, occasionally turning his head to look back with a worried expression.
Pei Shinian is an idol who surfs the internet’s traffic vortex every day as his profession. Knowing the power of public opinion, he is a little afraid that young fans cannot handle it.
He saw a boy sitting in the back row wearing a cap over his jacket, leaning against the window and looking down at his phone.
After thinking for a moment, he stood up and prepared to move over to comfort him as an older brother.
Just as he was about to approach, his phone rang, and a notification popped up from his Weibo special attention list.
Before going on this variety show, Song Jianchu had already guessed that things would turn out like this. He wasn’t afraid of anything himself, nor did he want to have any regrets because of other people’s opinions.
Calmly, Song Jianchu clicked into the comment section of Mu Ye’s Weibo and took a look around. Unlike his own chaotic comment section, Mu Ye’s comment section was currently normal and filled with fans’ screams.
Putting his mind at ease for the time being, Song Jianchu was about to exit Weibo and continue sleeping when he accidentally clicked back into Mu Ye’s Weibo.
This time, there was an additional post on the homepage.
Just released, the comments and reposts have already exceeded ten thousand.
【Mu Ye MorayV: I’m very happy to participate in Director Cui’s variety show. I will work hard to become a qualified worker. I heard that it’s a workplace convention to first cling to the leader’s thigh. Store Manager, please take good care of me. [Rose] @Song Jianchu】
Song Jianchu was stunned for a few seconds before slowly blinking his eyes.
He lifted his head and quickly glanced at the lazy silhouette in the front row, pursed his lips, and clicked into the comment section. The top few comments in the front row were all the highest-rated reposts.
【Bai Xingyu V: Don’t mess with my leader [Fist] //@Mu Ye Moray: I’m very happy to participate in Director Cui’s variety show. I will work hard to become a qualified worker. I heard that it’s a workplace convention to first cling to the leader’s thigh. Store Manager, please take good care of me. [Rose] @Song Jianchu】
【Lu Shen V: Hello, leader //@Bai Xingyu: Don’t mess with my leader [Fist] //@Mu Ye Moray: I’m very happy to participate in Director Cui’s variety show. I will work hard to become a qualified worker. I heard that it’s a workplace convention to first cling to the leader’s thigh. Store Manager, please take good care of me. [Rose] @Song Jianchu】
【Pei Shinian V: Ah! My colleague stole a march on me! He hugged the other thigh of our leader tightly! // Lu Shen: Hello, leader // Bai Xingyu: Don’t mess with my leader [fist] // Mu Ye Moray: I’m glad to participate in Director Cui’s variety show. I will strive to become a qualified worker. I heard that it’s customary in the workplace to hug the leader’s thigh first. Dear store manager, please take care of me [rose] @Song Jianchu】
The reposts of these four male gods quickly diverted the attention of netizens from the heated quarrel.
The comment section of Song Jianchu’s post suddenly changed its tone.
Song Jianchu hesitated to reply. He paused his fingers, ready to repost a response, when he saw a sudden influx of normal fan comments.
[Ah, stupid treasure!! You’ve been called out by the male gods!!]
[Fool! Hurry up and reply, what are you doing staring blankly?!]
[Stretch your legs!! Quick, let the male gods hug your thigh!!]
[Don’t you know how to do it? You’re so stupid! Your mom should teach you! One, two, three, four, two, two, three, four, lift your leg high and stretch it out again!]
[Move faster! Find a hammer! Have you learned knee-jerk reflexes?]
Song Jianchu’s eyelids twitched.
Why did his normal fans seem even more foolish than his haters?
Song Jianchu gritted his teeth, closed the comment section of his pinned Weibo post, and turned his attention to the person sitting on the far end of the second row.
Ten seconds later, the great demon king who had attracted the attention of the entire Internet posted new content on Weibo.
【Song Jianchu V: [leg] // Mu Ye Moray: I’m glad to participate in Director Cui’s variety show. I will strive to become a qualified worker. I heard that it’s customary in the workplace to hug the leader’s thigh first. Dear store manager, please take care of me [rose] @Song Jianchu】
