Chapter 67 Part 2 一 The Crazy and Overbearing CEO Ruan Yōu Makes a Grand Appearance!
They breathed a sigh of relief, and netizens online laughed so hard they could die.
Netizens gave the second season of <The Heirs> a name 一 “The Hidden Side of the Top Wealthy Families.”
People who don’t know the truth when they see this name will probably associate it with the mysterious, thrilling, and sensational power struggles described in public accounts and marketing materials.
But viewers who have seen it know that beneath this mysterious name lies a group of goofballs who secretly let loose themselves.
The overlord is not a shrewd, capable, cold and aloof ruler.
The CEO of the Bozhan Group is a siscon brain; the CEO of the Lu Group is a star-chasing maniac; and the CEO of the Jiang Group is a thorough penny-pinching miser. Now, only the cool Miss Qi from the Qi family and the gentle and considerate President Fu still have some dignity left.
No one expected that, just half a day after the variety show premiered, viewers could witness such a shocking scene that defied common sense. The entire internet’s filter for the top wealthy family heirs shattered, replaced by waves of “hahaha.”
Online, a Weibo repost related to the wealthy heirs received over a hundred thousand shares.
【 @Bubu: As an ordinary person who eats melons of wealthy families, I’ve followed many gossip public accounts related to the top wealthy family heirs. They praised them as “low-key, composed, and profound, legends in the business world, unstoppable in all endeavors, the pride of the entire industry.” Many marketing accounts, press releases, and public accounts all sang their praises. And because they were genuinely low-key, there wasn’t even a single photo of them online. Messages about their “mysterious and noble” image were everywhere. I believed it, I really did back then. But now, having watched the variety show, all I can think is “hahaha” (in a complimentary way). They don’t avoid public appearances because they’re low-key; it’s because they’re just too comical (dog’s head save life.】
【The public account I follow just posted a message: “Sorry, we were deceived by their image.”】
【What we thought were mysterious and noble heirs, in reality, are “siscon,” “star-chasing maniac,” and “penny-pinching miser.”】
【Hahaha, I actually like them more now, what to do!】
The variety show <The Heirs> quickly became the center of attention across the entire internet. The embarrassing scenes of the three top wealthy heirs dying socially haven’t turned viewers off. Adhering to the principle of “happiness built on the misfortune of others,” viewers, like Ruan Yōu, find it very entertaining.
That’s today’s source of joy.
However, there won’t be just one perspective on the internet.
As the saying goes, when someone becomes famous, controversies abound.
After Gu Fuchen and Ruan Yōu firmly declined Ji Xu’s visit, a significant commotion erupted in Cheng Guyuan’s livestream room.
Some people felt that Gu Fuchen and Ruan Yōu were abusing their power, appearing too aloof, and unwilling to accept even the goodwill of new guests, showcasing their double standards.
Previously, before Ruan Yōu and Gu Fuchen’s livestream started, Cheng Guyuan’s team thought that this group of unknown individuals would try to ride on Cheng Guyuan’s coattails for publicity. So, the entire team logged in with fake accounts to send comments and set the rhythm. At that time, the comments floating around were along the lines of “Hope these unknown individuals don’t come say hello later, we’re not familiar with you, keep your distance” and “Don’t try to steal the spotlight.”
Now the tables have turned, and Gu Fuchen and Ruan Yōu were merely putting into practice what they had previously written in the livestream chat. Cheng Guyuan and his management team couldn’t handle it.
They couldn’t confront them directly, so they decided to play the victim in the livestream room?
The staff in his management team deliberately set the rhythm for Cheng Guyuan’s image, saying things like, “Cheng Guyuan is now being ostracized, even innocent good friends are being excluded. The members of the top wealthy families are really frightening,” and “Abusing their power, acting high and mighty, the top wealthy families is truly noble.”
These kinds of topics were very sensitive, and someone edited the segment of Gu Fuchen rejecting Ji Xu and uploaded it as a cut on short video apps, sparking discussions shortly thereafter.
When Ruan Liuyu and Gu Youqian saw this scene in the livestream, they knew that Cheng Guyuan’s team would undoubtedly exploit the situation.
Their son and daughter were trying to bring joy through their variety show appearances, and making them worry about such trivial matters would be impolite.
Ruan Liuyu immediately had someone contact Cheng Guyuan’s father and invited him to come over to watch the variety show together.
Such “interesting” comments shouldn’t be limited to just them.
Furthermore, Ruan Liuyu had someone compile a substantial chain of evidence by gathering the management team’s attempts to manipulate public opinion on the Weibo and their chat records expressing their reluctance to share the stage with unknown celebrities, into an article.
Take a screenshot of the article content and display it live on the homepage of the streaming app.
As soon as users enter the app, they can see what Cheng Guyuan’s management team has been up to.
Gu Fuchen, Jiang Huai, and Lu Jin’s adorable and funny antics gained criticism after Cheng Guyuan’s management team’s WeChat chat was exposed.
【Trash team and the owner, stop double standards, you guys are a pile of rat feces in this variety show.】
【If it were me, I would leave the variety show for any reason. You can’t compete in terms of commercial strength, but you keep boasting about your elegance and exceptional looks in the entertainment industry. However, in front of these funny and smart bosses, you’re nothing.】
【I’m even less polite than Gu Fuchen~ He said he won’t meet, but I’ll make you roll~】
【What’s the point of ancient foxes playing ‘Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio’? Comedian Overlord is funny when he’s funny, but he’s smart when he’s working. Who doesn’t understand your petty tricks?】
After Cheng Guyuan saw these comments from the team, he completely lost his desire to continue recording.
He falsely claimed to be sick, had the team negotiate with the production crew, and spent the whole day in his room.
While Ruan Yōu and others were preparing to do tasks in the villa, he was still lying down.
. . . . .
Ruan Yōu remembered that the director had just given her a task card a moment ago. She hadn’t opened the task card yet because they confirming the exact positions of the camera.
Now, Jiang Huai’s mental state is still okay. Lu Jin knew that having Gu Fuchen and Jiang Huai accompany him through this embarrassing moment had calmed his mood considerably. As everyone gradually started to recover their spirits and some felt like looking at the task card, Ruan Yōu finally picked up the task card from the coffee table.
On it, there were only three words: “Spin the wheel.”
Ruan Yōu couldn’t help but speak up, “If future tasks are all this simple, is there a need to issue task cards?”
Director Mu chuckled, “Isn’t this about adding a sense of ceremony, matching delicate task cards with the status of the heirs?”
【Director, are you sure you’re not being sarcastic? Hahaha, they really can’t live up to this task card.】
【The members of top wealthy families overnight went from being admired and having a massive fan following to becoming comedy actors.】
Qi Zhiyan glanced lightly at the smiling Director Mu.
Director Mu quickly put away his smile and adopted a serious tone, “I will now introduce the game process.”
“Xiao Wang, bring out the game props,” Director Mu said while directing, “Place them in front of them. Later, you won’t need to go out and buy groceries or cook dinner yourselves. Rest well. The game ‘Spin the Wheel’ works like this: there will be many dish names written on the wheel. Each person can stand three meters away and take a turn spinning the wheel. Whatever dish it lands on, we’ll prepare a serving for you.”
Lu Xuan’s voice was excited, “Can such a good thing happen?”
Ruan Yōu felt something was off.
Cheng Xin gave each of them 300 yuan for their living expenses, intending to make them endure some hardships. Now, suddenly, there’s a free meal event, which seems inconsistent and strange.
Furthermore, in the variety show rules, the more money you have left in the end, the better your chances of winning.
The eight of them pooled their money together, as long as they ensured there would be 300 yuan left in the end, it didn’t matter who got it. In any case, they were confident in their group’s stability. If this is the mechanism, Cheng Xin and the production team should try to drain their wallets.
Director Mu smiled, “Ruan Yōu is the boss of our investor, so we can’t be too harsh on you, right?”
Gu Fuchen, Qi Zhiyan, Fu Jiazhan, Lu Xuan, Jiang Huai, Lu Jin, and Qi Nuo, seven people who had never been on a variety show, didn’t understand the ins and outs of it and believed in Director Mu’s words.
The main reason was一
No one had dared to deceive them before.
Everyone in the business world keeps their guard up, but now they were just facing a simple meal; there shouldn’t be any tricks.
Ruan Yōu, who knew Cheng Xin well, remained skeptical.
Director Mu had someone place darts on the coffee table in front of them, “Our staff will spin a wheel, and each of you will take a turn. Each person has only one precious chance, and there are a total of 18 dishes. Wherever your dart lands, you’ll get an extra dish for dinner.”
Jiang Huai: “If we hit the same dish twice, is it two servings or just one?”
“One serving,” Director Mu laughed, “we have King Crabs above; we can’t let all of you hit that. Otherwise, we’ll end up with nothing.”
Hearing this, Ruan Yōu finally let go of the anxiety that had been hanging over her.
It must be a big treat.
There are King Crabs, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, as well as stir-fried vegetables and Mapo Tofu. Although there are more meat dishes overall, the production team seems to have a stingy feeling of “not wanting them to hit expensive items.”
The abundance of meat dishes probably aims to make them experience the pain of having so many good things in front of them, yet still having to eat plain stir-fried cabbage.
The most painful thing in the world isn’t not being able to eat King Crabs; it’s having King Crabs placed in front of them, but not having the privilege to enjoy them.
“We’ve prepared these 18 dishes, and if you don’t hit them, the remaining delicious dishes will be enjoyed by our production team.”
Lu Xuan, with a determined aura, picked up a dart: “It’s mine, it must be mine!”
She wants to eat delicious food!!
Not far from three meters.
The staff vigorously spun the wheel, but you couldn’t see where the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall that she wanted to eat was. Lu Xuan pouted, “Look at them! So unfair!”
Don’t let her get to the delicious food at all.
Lu Jin unexpectedly looked at the employee who was turning the wheel and said in a casual tone, “Our little princess at home is very delicate. After spending most of the day together, you guys must have noticed that we are reasonable people, and we understand that it’s your job to follow the rules and spin quickly. But the little princess won’t pay attention to these rules. Right now, she just wants to eat Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. If you don’t let her eat, after the variety show, she will remember and come knocking on your door for revenge.”
Lu Xuan nodded vigorously, “Exactly!”
With that, she pouted and widened her eyes, glaring menacingly at the production team.
The employee who was ‘remembered’ subconsciously looked at Director Mu.
“Don’t look at him, it’s useless,” Lu Xuan hurriedly said, “Our appearance on the variety show is just for a moment, but we’ll be around for a lifetime after the show.”
Director Mu smiled helplessly, “You’re openly threatening us.”
Lu Xuan said seriously, “I’ve always been straightforward in my actions.”
Director Mu: …You don’t have to be so straightforward, actually.
【They truly are the rich and powerful eight-person group I like, hahaha.】
【The little princess doesn’t even care about her reputation; she just wants to eat Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. What did she do wrong by giving a little warning to the stingy production team?】
【Young people, look further ahead. If I were on the staff, I wouldn’t let them miss out. Let them eat, and give me some too!】
“If not, I’ll do it.” Ruan Yōu walked forward, “I’m the boss of your investors, rounding up, you can consider me half of the production team.”
Ruan Yōu’s voice was very soft, and when she glanced back at Director Mu, it faintly carried a hint of threat.
一I’m your investor’s B!O!S!S!
One sentence, directly kills the whole scene.
Without waiting for the director’s consent, Ruan Yōu was already standing in front of the wheel, gently spining it.
The wheel spun unpredictably, and Lu Xuan understood instantly. She stared intently at the position of the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, her wrist bent, and with a strong thrust一
It went straight to Ruan Yōu’s feet.
The top wealthy group was in distress.
The answers were right in front of you, why couldn’t you see it!
Lu Xuan applied too much force to her wrist, and the direction was off.
Lu Xuan learned from her mistake and, with guidance from Gu Fuchen and Fu Jiazhan, successfully hit the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
Happy~
Eight people take turns to throw the dart.
With their concerted and playful cooperation, the originally supposed to spin the wheel never moved at all.
In the end, they successfully obtained Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, King Crab, Big Lobster, Rock Sugar Bird Nest, Coconut Chicken Soup, Stir-Fried Vegetables, Crispy Fried Milk, and Strawberry Cream Cupcakes.
A combination of both meat and vegetables, and there’s dessert too~
Everyone was very satisfied, looking forward to dinner.
At seven o’clock, the production team set the dinner on the table, a full table.
Ruan Yōu sat in front of the table and occasionally looked at the production team, “Can we eat now?”
Director Mu, off-camera, smiled and said, “Of course, please enjoy your dinner.”
Fu Jiazhan questioned and emphasized once again, “No tasks?”
Director Mu: “None.”
Ruan Yōu took a bite to confirm that the production team had no objections, no deception, and began to eat with confidence.
【This is probably the most nervous meal they’ve ever had, haha】
【No matter who it is, no matter which variety show, in front of the production team, you should be on guard.】
【Boldly speak out, there are no conscientious production teams in this world.】
【I see now, Director Mu seems alright, except for giving them three hundred yuan as living expenses, he hasn’t made things difficult for them.】
Netizens engaged in a heated discussion about “Which variety show’s production team is the stingiest and most deceptive.”
During the discussion, Ruan Yōu happily started her mukbang mode.
Coconut chicken soup was light and refreshing, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup was delicious, and the abalone melted in the mouth.
【Whew, thankfully I ordered takeout to watch along, otherwise, I’d be tempted to death.】
【The Heirs of the Taste Buds!!】
Forty minutes later, the meal finally concluded.
Ruan Yōu finished the last bowl of soup, feeling too full to get up from her chair.
Everyone put down their chopsticks.
The director waited for them to finish eating and leisurely took out a meal ticket from his pocket: “Now that everyone has finished eating, let’s calculate the bill.”
Ruan Yōu: ? ?
“What are you calculating?”
Director Mu chuckled, “You can take a look at the back of the task card.”
Gu Fuchen and the others were filled with question marks.
Lu Xuan hurriedly went to the living room and picked up the task card that had been thrown on the coffee table. On the back of the task card, there was a line of small text.
“The dishes obtained from the task only exempt processing fees, and the cost of ingredients is to be borne by the guests.” Lu Xuan stared at the task card and read this line of text carefully, word by word. “This is the art of deception in business war.”
Gu Fuchen, Fu Jiazhan, Jiang Huai, Lu Jin, and Qi Zhiyan, the five overlords, all turned their heads to look at the production team.
“You don’t need such dirty tricks in business war.”
Don’t touch porcelain.

Are you teaching us how to do things?
