She planned to watch some old videos of the variety show “Come Challenge” this afternoon, and then go to bed early tonight, as she might not be able to sleep well tomorrow night.
Thinking this, she quickened her pace.
The next morning, Sheng Ziyou was picked up by Zhao Jing, Yang Yun, and others and taken to the airport.
Yu Chen was currently filming, and Zhao Jing had spent most of her time with Sheng Ziyou, even accompanying her to variety shows.
This was the first variety show she arranged for Sheng Ziyou after taking over her management, so naturally she had to stick with it.
Before leaving, Sheng Ziyou asked about Ji Ran and his grandmother. Ji Ran was basically fine now, but his stomach problems could only be treated slowly.
His grandmother woke up early this morning and saw that Ji Ran was alright and in better spirits, but he still had to stay in the hospital for a while.
Ji Ran thus rehired the nanny as a caregiver. He was definitely going back to the show; he had already put in so much effort, he couldn’t just give up halfway. Besides, he was under immense financial pressure right now, and debuting and becoming famous was the only solution.
Last night, Ji Ran’s agent released a statement, letting fans and netizens know about Ji Ran’s situation, including the diagnosis results, which was also available online.
Ji Ran also recorded a video. In the video, Ji Ran had a pale face, looked haggard and sickly, yet… still beautiful.
He was wearing a hospital gown, still smiling so gently, but he was so thin that it was heartbreaking to see him like that.
Ji Ran apologized in a gentle voice— I’m sorry for making everyone worry, and I feel very guilty. I won’t be able to be the “foodie” that everyone likes anymore.
At that moment, the fans were heartbroken and burst into tears.
Ji Ran made headlines, and everyone was filled with sympathy and blessings. He had actually fallen out of the debut rankings, but overnight he surged to fourth place and his rank was still climbing.
Many people almost forgot that he was originally a very talented young man, Ji Ran, who ranked first in the preliminary round.
With the matter concerning these children settled, Sheng Ziyou was completely at ease and headed to another city to record a variety show.
Her trip was kept low-key, but some fans were still waiting at the airport.
Sheng Ziyou was dressed very elegantly today, wearing a sweater with knee-high boots, a trench coat draped over her arm, and no hat, only a mask.
“Ziyou, your fans will definitely swarm over soon, so you need to hurry,” Zhao Jing instructed.
Sheng Ziyou nodded: “Okay.”
There wasn’t a big fanfare at the airport, and there weren’t many fans. Some were her fans, and some were just waiting for their idol to run into Sheng Ziyou and came to watch the spectacle.
“Youbao—”
“Youbao! Look at me!”
“Youbao, take good care of yourself!!”
“Youbao— remember not to lose weight!”
“I love you!!”
….
These were the same warm words they usually spoke, and Sheng Ziyou, wearing a mask, had a smile in her eyes.
She listened to Zhao Jing and walked very fast, but she still reached out to accept small gifts from fans and responded to their words.
They said, “Youbao, I love you!”
Sheng Ziyou walked quickly, but her voice carried clearly: “I love you all too.”
They shouted, “Youbao, take good care of yourself!!”
She would reply, “I will, and so should you.”
After this airport send-off, Sheng Ziyou’s “fan-loving” label became widely recognized.
Zhao Jing still looked helpless: “You really are…”
After saying four words, she didn’t know what else to say. While responding to her fans, Sheng Ziyou walked at a steady pace, cleverly avoiding any negative impact or disorderly disturbances.
Zhao Jing sometimes found it strange that Sheng Ziyou, who was not particularly famous before, could handle such matters in such an orderly and appropriate manner, just like a top star who had been famous for many years.
She avoided any accidents or sensationalism, yet she responded to her fans, handling almost everything perfectly.
This really doesn’t seem like someone who’s… still relatively new to the entertainment industry.
All things considered, Sheng Ziyou had only been in the industry for two years.
After graduating from university, she was discovered by a talent scout and, with her outstanding looks, quickly rose to the edge of becoming a second-tier star.
Moreover… recently, her own artist had finally figured things out.
She sought out Qin Wenjun to learn acting seriously, performed well on the show, and also diligently learned to dance and sing. Her dedication was top-notch, and the results were excellent.
Zhao Jing shook her head, deciding to stop thinking about it.
Overall, things were changing for the better, so why think so much?
The show was filmed in a scenic city, and they changed cities every episode. Sheng Ziyou was lucky this time because it was a southern city, and the outdoor weather was not as cold as in the north.
Sheng Ziyou arrived at the recording site at noon, and the recording was scheduled to start at 2 pm. Many guests and other guest stars were present.
Qu Feng also arrived, and his eyes lit up when he saw Sheng Ziyou: “Teacher Sheng is here too! When I saw the guest list for this episode, I felt that we were destined to meet! Haha.”
Sheng Ziyou was wearing sportswear and her hair was tied in a high ponytail. For a challenge-based program, even her makeup had to be waterproof and sweatproof.
Fortunately, she was good-looking and could be carefree. She looked great in sportswear and a ponytail, unlike other celebrities who struggled with what to wear.
Sheng Ziyou smiled slightly, with respect and politeness: “Yes, it really is quite a coincidence, Teacher Qu.”
Since not everyone had arrived yet, Sheng Ziyou only needed to put on makeup before starting the recording, so they still had time to stand and exchange a few polite words.
Qu Feng walked over to Sheng Ziyou and lowered his voice: “Teacher Sheng, this is your first time here. How about I come find you when we’re divided into teams later? We can be in a team together?”
Sheng Ziyou watched the show and knew that their rules were that teams of two would cooperate to pass the levels, competing with each other while also cooperating.
Of course, you can change teammates at any time during the challenge. As long as two people are willing to team up, they can immediately re-team up.
Completing all the challenges could take quite a while, and there were both intellectual and physical challenges.
You need to pass each level to get information for the next level.
Of course, as this variety show gets better and better, the investment is large and the difficulty is not small.
There was one episode where they filmed from 2 a.m. until 11 p.m. the next day before one group could pass the challenge.
This is why Sheng Ziyou knew beforehand that she might not sleep well tonight.
Furthermore, the production team increased the difficulty by assigning one guest a unique identity, who would receive a black “spy” card.
If the “spy” group wins, then only the “spy” will win, and she alone will receive the 500,000 charity fund.
If the winning group has no “spies,” then the two guests win and split the 500,000 charity fund.
During the clearance process, a voting channel will be opened at any time to vote for the traitor.
The team with the most votes from the guests will be eliminated, which is why the team lineup keeps changing.
This variety show was more like a real-life version of “Werewolf” combined with an intellectual game of “passing levels,” and the test of the guests’ intelligence was quite high.
Sheng Ziyou didn’t know why Qu Feng wanted to reserve her as a teammate in advance, but Sheng Ziyou smiled, a smile that was both happy and apprehensive—
“Great! Teacher Qu knows a lot, he can teach me a lot. I don’t know anything about this!”
The two high-fived and temporarily became teammates before recording even started.
Sheng Ziyou didn’t know why Qu Feng chose her, but it didn’t matter…
She thought of the black card the production team had given her when she first arrived.
The author has something to say:
Youbao: Actually, I didn’t want to trick you, you just delivered yourself to me…
