I'm Crushing on Gorgeous Faces in Variety Shows!-Chapter 282: Brother Huai’s Vacant Stare.jpg

Chapter 282: Chapter 282: Brother Huai’s Vacant Stare.jpg

Cheng Zhirang responded with just an "Hmm" and didn’t say anything else.

"What about the program team? Have they decided on the theme for the next episode?"

Chen Song shook his head, "Not yet, there’s no update from the official Weibo. Li Yang is still trending right now."

Even though it was about Su Yan and Lin Banyan, Li Yang got dragged in and still hasn’t managed to extricate himself, it’s quite unfortunate.

Besides, the prepared anti-smear drafts probably can’t be used at all.

"Li Yang will be fine," Cheng Zhirang unbuttoned his shirt, as his assistant had already placed dinner in front of him. He opened the cutlery box and said:

"He’s clarified things already, so even if he stays trending, it won’t be for long. It’s Shi Yuhuai who will probably trend next."

Chen Song paused, "Indeed, he’s also the main model for Jiali, and with the last incident involving Su Yan, there was already a fuss about a same-company romance."

The entertainment industry always makes a big deal when people appear together; sitting in the same car is a problem; sharing a glance means there’s a spark. Let alone, these two grew up in the same company.

He’s been dragged between Lin Banyan and Su Yan before, so it’s nothing new.

Feeling a little sympathy for him.

"It’s not just that." Chen Song had a calm face, with an air of "it’s not my responsibility," so she seemed somewhat detached.

She analyzed, "If this time the exposé isn’t directly targeting Su Yan and Lin Banyan, but rather Li Yang, then a lot of Shi Yuhuai’s personal information might get leaked, too."

"Different Variety Show" has had a guest getting smeared each episode; if it’s the same this time, it’s likely targeting Li Yang.

But the other party perhaps didn’t expect to bring up Su Yan and Lin Banyan’s relationship, letting Li Yang off the hook.

Since Li Yang is clear, continuing to smear him would be too obvious, so they’ll move on to someone else.

Right now, Shi Yuhuai seems the best target.

But it’s none of their business.

She reminded again seriously, "Your buzz hasn’t died down completely, be cautious."

"Got it."

Cheng Zhirang acknowledged, his slender fingers taking chopsticks from the cutlery box and arranging the items neatly before sipping some soup.

Chen Song looked at him; being a manager for many years, she’d only come across one like this, without talking about his identity, who exudes such a gentlemanly aura in every action.

Even just watching him eat is a pleasure.

As he ate, Chen Song still had things to attend to.

"There shouldn’t be much at tonight’s gala, since you’re heading back tomorrow, it’s best not to visit Mu Qiu tonight, just a phone call will do."

Though this is a bit harsh for a newly dating couple, especially since they’re both in the same place with much fanfare.

All the cameras are on them now.

She packed up and prepared to leave, "I need to go check at the hospital, take care of yourself."

Cheng Zhirang nodded.

As she reached the door of the lounge, he suddenly called her again.

"Sister Chen."

Chen Song turned her head, looking at him puzzled, "What’s up?"

Cheng Zhirang remained seated, lifting his eyes slightly to look at her, "Be careful lately, someone’s looking into Chengcheng’s birth information."

Chen Song’s expression changed drastically, her pupils constricting momentarily.

"...Thanks."

Cheng Zhirang lowered his head again to continue eating, his phone screen still displaying messages from a certain group chat.

The line from Mu Qiu, "I refuse on Brother Cheng’s behalf to join the Younv Organization," was right in the middle, with other messages below; he didn’t bother scrolling.

Entertainment news updates rapidly; some topics can’t linger long on trending even if people want them to.

But if it’s significant, it can ferment for a long time, making it hard to backtrack.

Like last time with Cheng Zhirang and Mu Qiu, or this time with Su Yan and Lin Banyan.

First, the innocent worker Li Yang got dragged in, then Shi Yuhuai was also pulled into the mess.

After dinner, Shi Yuhuai’s name once again got dragged onto the trending list by Lin Banyan’s relationship.

The trending topic was very straightforward.

#SuYanLinBanyanShiYuhuai#

One look and you know it screams love triangle, no need to click for a detailed love and hate story to unfold in your mind.

Shi Yuhuai didn’t bother with these baseless fabrications; he was at home waiting for a designer to measure him.

He didn’t answer Lin Banyan’s call or promptly check the calming message from the company.

He was staring conflictedly at a rather chaotic group name and its messages.

[Guan Yu: Thankfully we didn’t send it early, now can release it to help Brother Huai divert attention]

[Shi Yuhuai: That’s not true, why divert attention?]

[Guan Yu: ...Fine, no diversion, you just operate as usual and let the fans see and feel reassured, okay?]

[Mu Qiu: What nice things let me VIP preview.jpg]

[Shi Yuhuai: Why are you using my emoji pack?]

[Shu Ran: What’s up, having a group photo session?]

[Li Yang: My assistant said the group chat kept popping up with notifications]

[Li Yang: What’s being sent?]

[Guan Yu: A big package!]

[Guan Yu: There are viewers waiting to see it]

[Li Yang: Oh, I’ve already taken pictures, they’re ready]

[Shu Ran: I just finished taking mine, it took me two hours]

[Mu Qiu: ...Sister Shu Ran, such a small thing needed two hours?]

[Shu Ran: Do you think there’s no makeup, pose, or angle finding needed?]

[Mu Qiu: ...Alright.]

[Li Yang: Then I guess I rushed mine]

[Li Yang: But I’ve eaten half of it! Brother Cheng’s digestive plum cookies are delicious!]

[Mu Qiu: I was the one who sent those!!!]

[Li Yang: Huh? You sent them?]

[Cheng Zhirang: She specifically found them]

[Mu Qiu: Hands on hips in anger.jpg]

[Li Yang: Yangyang giggling.jpg]

[Guan Yu: Brother Huai, are you pretending you didn’t see it and avoiding it?]

[Shi Yuhuai: Brother Huai expressionless.jpg]

[Shi Yuhuai: Do I have to take photos too?]

[Guan Yu: Of course!!]

[Guan Yu: The four of us have photos, you not taking one would be so abrupt?]

[Shi Yuhuai: Fine, alright]

[Mu Qiu: Looking forward to the results]

[Guan Yu: Just post it on Weibo, I can’t wait any longer, I’ve already sent it out]

[Li Yang: Hurry post, my manager’s taking my phone away]

Shi Yuhuai frowned at the phone for a while, then spoke to the assistant beside him.

"Take a photo for me."

Assistant: "?"

He took out the snack big gift package sent by Cheng Zhirang. The gift pack remained unopened, completely intact.

The assistant aimed the phone at him, "Brother Huai, how should I shoot? Any pose?"

Shi Yuhuai thought for a moment, "Yes."

Then the assistant saw him lift the gift pack and hold it in front of his chest. His expression was as poised and serious as if he was about to do a fashion show.

He really looked like someone carrying a gift of Brain Platinum to visit relatives for New Year, like the kind of visiting relatives in commercials.

If this photo gets posted, is he really going the comedy route?

The assistant closed his eyes briefly, lowered the phone, and sincerely suggested.

"Brother Huai, maybe I could help you think of a posing style?"
