After Song Jianchu replied to Mu Ye’s mention, he also replied one by one to several other guests.
Netizens noticed that the other replies were slightly different from the first one.
The reply from the Demon King’s little brother was very in-character, indicating that he was catering to his current variety show persona.
All the replies were in a leader’s tone: “Keep going,” “Work hard,” “Do well.”
Netizens found it amusing.
If it can make netizens laugh, the controversy will be temporarily settled.
[Hahaha, the Demon King’s little brother has a great leadership vibe.]
[Hahaha, I can vaguely feel the atmosphere of the Demon King’s manager.]
[The Demon King’s manager seems to be very interesting! When will it be broadcast?]
Variety show psychopath projects never go through the process of advance notice. Although Director Cui’s program will also be broadcast on television, his team actually operates independently because of his fame.
Young people nowadays mostly watch variety shows through online platforms, and television ratings are no longer the main battlefield for variety shows to become popular.
This time, the program group cooperated with the largest online video platform for the first launch.
Netizens didn’t have to wait too long. One week later, the first season of “Wanna Leave Work” was officially launched on the platform, and the variety show cover was the promotional photo taken at the end of the trailer.
After the first episode was released, the number of views exceeded 10 million on the same day.
[“The Demon Clan is here!!!!”]
[“The Pei Family Army is here!!!!”]
[“The Lu Family Army is here!!!!”]
[“The Bai Family Army is here!!!!”]
[“The Demon King’s Army is here!!!!!!!!!!”]
[“????”]
[“It seems like some strange organization has mixed in?”]
After all, the Demon King’s little brother is the number one web celebrity with 50 million followers, and his fans are highly active, with at least 25 million fans being normal fans.
At the crucial moment of the variety show’s debut, the normal fans who have been dormant for years finally stood up and firmly embraced each other, building a concrete wall to resist the upcoming storm for their beloved idol. The demon army made a spectacular debut, and even though they were only internet celebrity fans, they were as powerful and arrogant as their idol. When they appeared, they scattered the fan groups of the other four top-tier artists.
[“Being a fan really requires courage to face rumors and gossip!!”]
[“Charge forward!! Mom will be brave for your beautiful fan history!!!”]
[“Don’t worry about chasing after the stinky brat, your courage is amazing!!!”]
[“…………”]
[“Ah, what’s this…”]
[“Aren’t we supposed to be working? How did we end up in the mountains???”]
As evening approached, the night grew darker. The program crew’s bus drove through the densely populated county town and up the winding mountain road. The surroundings became increasingly desolate, with almost no signs of human habitation.
The expressions of the guests in the bus gradually became confused.
“Haven’t we arrived yet? Where are we going?” Pei Shinian looked out the window at the dark forest and asked in confusion, “Isn’t it a gourmet restaurant? Why would a restaurant be in the mountains?”
Bai Xingyu’s face grew increasingly gloomy, sensing that they had fallen into the trap of a variety show prank. He gritted his teeth and asked the show’s staff, “Are you asking us to open a restaurant here for ghosts to eat?”
Mu Ye spoke softly, “There are no ghosts here.”
[“Hahaha, I smell the scent of routine”]
[“The name of the variety show “psychopath” is not in vain, hahaha”]
[“The newbies in the variety show are so cute, hahaha”]
[“Is the demon king’s little brother still sleeping? He slept all the way…”]
[“No wonder he’s the great demon king, nothing seems to faze him”]
Even Lu Shen’s expression looks a bit heavy. However, their team leader is still sound asleep with his hat pulled down over his face, not even the bumpy mountain roads were enough to wake him up.
Mu Ye turned around to look at the sleeping god in the back row and chuckled.
[“Ah, Muye’s smile is so charming”]
When the night fell completely, the bus finally stopped.
As soon as the bus stopped, the sleeping god finally opened his eyes. With creases on his face from his hat, he looked outside sleepily.
[“Hahaha, little brother looks so cute when he hasn’t woken up yet”]
[“Leader, wake up quickly! It’s time to start the mission!”]
The variety show psychopath, wearing a small red hat, stood up like a scam tour guide from a shady travel agency and held a small megaphone. “We have arrived. This is your workplace – Granny’s food store.”
The four awake guests looked outside with a blank expression, staring at the “storefront” that could barely stand up properly.
“…”
“…”
“…”
“…”
Bai Xingyu cursed “damn psychopath” and got off the bus with a bad mood. Pei Shinian followed Lu Shen down listlessly.
Mu Ye didn’t hurry to get up. He waited for the sleeping god in the back row to slowly stand up and walk towards the door before he stood up with his hands in his pockets, staring at the hat on the guy’s head and following behind him.
[“Is it just my imagination? It seems like Demon Mu is waiting for the Demon King’s little brother?”]
[“Hahaha, sisters, you misunderstood. My Demon Mu is actually very lazy in private.”]
The show had prepared luggage for them, which was distributed to them after getting off the bus.
Because the notice for recording was too sudden, everyone’s luggage was sorted out by their managers.
Song Jianchu didn’t have a manager, but he still received his luggage. He raised an eyebrow and saw a sticky note on the suitcase, which he took off.
It read: “Go have fun with your male god, your brother will always support you!”
Song Jianchu chuckled.
The others had already dragged their suitcases towards the old, dilapidated shop. Demon Mu leaned on his suitcase, not moving, and stood beside him, asking, “Did a friend help prepare this for you?”
As soon as Demon Mu initiated the conversation, the barrage was immediately flooded by the army of Demon King fans.
The fan club was too overwhelming, and Demon Mu’s fans couldn’t stop them, and even some passers-by found it interesting and joined in.
[“Male god took the initiative to talk to me, this trip was not in vain.”]
[“Ah, answer him!”]
[“Be enthusiastic! Show your spirit!”]
Song Jianchu put the sticky note in his pocket, made a noncommittal sound, and dragged his luggage towards the shop with the lights on.
Demon Mu watched the back of the gold master pretending to be indifferent, suppressing a smile, and dragged his suitcase, following two steps behind.
[“…”]
[“.”]
[“Welcome to ‘How to Quickly End a Conversation with a Male God’ :)”]
Song Jianchu had just looked at the old shop located on the mountaintop from afar, and probably had an idea that the business conditions should not be too good.
After going in, he found that his estimate was far lower than the degree of insanity of the variety show’s staff.
The layout of the shop was simple and clear, but the functions were extremely rich.
With a modern and open layout, the bare walls almost had no decoration marks, the fifty-square-meter small flat not only served as a restaurant but also a kitchen, a warehouse, and a dormitory. There was a simple wire bed against the innermost wall.
However, the shop was clean, the two tables for customers were wiped shiny, and the simple kitchen was also neat. You could see that someone took care of this small restaurant carefully every day and invested a lot of effort.
[“Opening a shop in the mountains, will anyone really go to eat there???”]
[“What was the original owner thinking???”]
[“Hahaha, this is too crazy of a start, isn’t it?”]
Bai Xingyu was impatient and took a look around the small shop they were going to manage for the next few days. After looking around, he turned back and asked, “Are we going to live in the shop?”
Pei Shinian looked at the variety show lunatic standing in the middle of a row of machines, incredulous, “Director, are we going to sleep on the floor tonight?”
The variety show lunatic said in one sentence, “From now on, we will not interfere with anything and listen to the shop owner’s arrangements.”
Pei Shinian: “……”
Mu Ye sat on a suitcase and looked around, saying, “Work during the day, drink all night, no need to sleep, it’s great.”
“Brother, maybe you can do it, but I’ll die if I don’t sleep!” Pei Shinian looked at the bed and said, “Isn’t there a bed?”
Mu Ye looked up at him and laughed, “Are you going to fight for the bed with the shop owner?”
Pei Shinian: “Oh… never mind then.”
[“Hahaha, there is a future, holding on to the boss’s thigh tightly”]
[“Hahaha, this resolution is admirable! The employee has a future!”]
[“Ah ah ah, is this spoiling the fans?”]
Song Jianchu was looking around the shop when he heard the conversation, his expression frozen for a moment as he glanced at the bed, which seemed particularly precious at this moment.
He withdrew his gaze and raised his hand to adjust his hat.
Song Jianchu felt the table surface and fiddled with his fingers before suddenly asking, “If we start operating tomorrow, can we renovate tonight?”
Pei Shinian hesitated, “Renovate tonight? This is the deep mountains, where can we find a construction team? And where would we get the funds?”
The variety show Psycho said, “We only provide basic operating costs. If the store manager is confident that they can break even, they can use their own money. During the construction period, the store manager can also use their phone. However, we are not responsible for any losses incurred by self-funded expenses.”
Pei Shinian was speechless, “Even if we had the money, there’s nowhere to spend it here.”
Lu Shen coldly said, “It’s not practical.”
Bai Xingyu sneered, “I don’t understand the appeal of this variety show. Old Cui, you’re in trouble. Can anyone even watch this crappy show?”
The barrage was filled with laughter.
[“Hahaha, someone’s watching!”]
[“Well, it’s interesting to see you all suffer.”]
[“Hahaha, it’s difficult for the store manager.”]
[“Just make do with what you have.”]
Song Jianchu calmly said, “It’s okay, as long as we can use money.”
“Huh?” Pei Shinian was stunned. “Are you really going to renovate tonight?”
Song Jianchu took the phone handed over by the program team and made a call to someone, leaving everyone looking at their store manager with confusion on their faces.
The phone rang.
The store manager’s face was creased from sleep, looking a bit disheveled, and he spoke softly into the phone, “Old Zhang, I’ll send you the location. Bring the helicopter over.”
