CEO's Sweetheart is a Super Idol-Chapter 427 - 419 Mini Team Variety

"Let’s play a game together! It’s boring just sitting in the car!" Fangxin laughed.

"A game? What kind of game? Is it fun?" Lai Meiyun joined in.

"I got one, the ’Never Have I Ever’ game," Yuwei suggested.

Zijing immediately raised her hand, eyes filled with excitement:

"I’ve played this game before."

"Everyone sticks out one hand and takes turns saying something they’ve never done."

"If you’ve done it, you put a finger down. The person with the most fingers left wins."

"What’s the reward for winning?" Ruoxuan asked with a smile.

At this point in the shoot, everyone looked towards Xiaoyu, as it was her line next.

She snapped out of her daze, seeing their faces: "Sorry, sorry, I forgot."

The director, intensely focused on the camera, almost had a stroke from frustration, knowing they could edit, but it wasted time.

"Aren’t we supposed to split into groups to shop? The winner gets to pick their team."

Everyone agreed, proceeding to the next step.

Fangxin was the first to stretch out her hand: "I’ve never slept with socks on."

Xiaoyu immediately acted offended: "You’re bullying me, you know I always sleep with socks. Do you want me to bend all my fingers?"

"I actually want you to keep them straight," Fangxin teased, wiggling her fingers and blinking.

"Ah!" Everyone almost suffocated her with the car seats in laughter.

"Who would sleep with socks on?" Fangxin weakly asked.

"I do!" Ruoxuan raised her hand.

"I also sleep with socks on," Zijing also bent a finger.

Yuwei, feeling helpless, put a finger down too: "I also sleep with socks on."

This left Fangxin utterly perplexed: "Why do you all sleep with socks on!"

There was more irrelevant banter, and the director was getting anxious: "Don’t waste time, everyone."

Zijing quickly followed the script: "I’ve never had short hair."

Xiaoyu and Fangxin each bent a finger, with Fangxin getting a close-up.

This was because her short hair look was very famous, done during her previous group.

Many were wowed by her short hair in her past videos, especially some girls.

Xiaoyu then said: "I’ve never been to Fashion Week."

Everyone pretended to look let down.

Never been!

I haven’t either!

What a pity!

"Bend! Bend! Bend!" Xiaoyu playfully coaxed them with a laugh.

This is because in two days, they had a group event to attend a Fashion Week as models.

"Xiaoyu, you’re too clever."

Ruoxuan said while looking at the cue card: "I’ve never dreamt of growing taller."

Yuwei quickly added: "Like dreams where you step off a ledge and such, those good height-dreams."

It was a running joke; the production team always teased her about her height, trying to make the audience forget how short she was.

Fangxin chimed in: "I dreamt of flying once."

"That should count too!" Zijing said.

"I’ve never dreamt of myself cooking," Yuwei said.

In actuality, Yuwei could only cook simple dishes, and poorly at that, having burnt food on a cooking show last time.

Me neither!

Nope!

Everyone said they hadn’t.

Fangxin then said: "I’ve never had a blackhead."

The room fell silent. Everyone stared at her in disbelief.

"What! No way, everyone gets them," Xiaoyu immediately inspected her face, breathing audible.

Fangxin moved her neck proudly, her face full of confidence.

"Let me see, you must have them without realizing," Ruoxuan leaned in too.

Now two heads wobbled before Fangxin’s eyes.

"I really haven’t, not once."

Xiaoyu, after checking closely, turned to the camera: "So annoying, it’s not fair, not fair."

Zijing watching was a bit confused, unsure if she should bend her finger.

Xiaoyu remembered: "Bend it! You should, you definitely have them."

She even bent Zijing’s finger herself.

At this point, everyone had only one finger left.

Zijing declared: "I’ve never cut my bangs."

This shocked everyone.

Who hasn’t cut bangs before?

How does one not cut bangs?

Bangs need trimming!

Without cutting bangs, life is incomplete!

Ultimately, Zijing won and got to pick her teammates.

Whew!

This segment finally ended, leaving Yuwei longing to lie down and sleep.

The other girls felt the same, extremely tired.

Performers’ rest is very irregular, especially during shoots.

Sometimes you only sleep for three or four hours, then shoot your scenes, then sleep another three or four hours.

This is why many entertainers age quickly.

Upon reaching the designated boutique stores, they still had to showcase their variety skills.

The production crew provided a 2,000 yuan shopping allowance. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Remember, everyone, we must mention our theme: plaid shirts and flashy accessories."

"Got it, director!"

Everyone acknowledged, holding selfie cameras as they entered each shop.

"Zijing, this outfit looks nice."

"Yuwei, if you like it, give it a try! This season is perfect for plaid shirts."

"You two, look, there are also some sparkly accessories here, super cheap, just a few dozen bucks."

Ruoxuan picked up a pair of earrings to try on.

Meanwhile, Yuwei put on a white and blue plaid shirt and denim overalls.

"You look good in anything, this outfit is lovely too," Zijing commented, though she thought the outfit looked awful.

"I think it’s nice, wearing it at home would be comfy," Yuwei played along.

Elsewhere, Fangxin was eyeing hats: "This hat is so ’trendy’."

"Hip-hop autumn vibes?" Xiaoyu chuckled.

"A bit, and this scarf is nice too," Fangxin added a bright blue scarf.

Each of them emphasized different items, perfectly showcasing the brand’s seasonal line.

And they didn’t try too many things, ensuring the audience would remember.

In the end, they took beautiful photos in this promoted brand store.

The photos were to be posted on Weibo for promotion, accompanied by copywritten text from a hired writer.

Advertisements nowadays are getting really clever.

That’s why many choose popular celebrities for these short-term ads.

Firstly, it’s cost-effective; secondly, it genuinely boosts sales; thirdly, there’s no long-term risk, unlike with a permanent endorsement, where a scandal could mean massive losses.

After a busy morning, they finally wrapped up the "mini variety show" shoot.

"I have to sleep for a bit!" As soon as she got back in the car, Fangxin was ready to doze off.

"Fangxin, you can’t sleep! We have to rush for the ’Eternal Elite’ endorsement shoot," Yuwei pulled her back up.

"I’ll just sleep for an hour," Fangxin intended to lean against the seatback.

"You shouldn’t lie down, or your eyes will swell. Lean against the window to rest."

Yuwei didn’t wait for the already-drowsy Fangxin to protest, pulling her straight up.

The others were struggling to stay awake too.

"I have some ’ice packs,’ place them on your forehead and rest for a bit."

"Yuwei, aren’t those for reducing fever?" Ruoxuan asked, puzzled.

"Yes, but they also help keep our faces from swelling while we sleep," Yuwei distributed them around.
