Chapter 58.2
Unfortunately, the audience liked this type of rustic and silly show without the baggage of being an idol. Once they saw Li Zhao surrounded by the truck driver’s family, they laughed and cooperated with the family to take screenshots.
“Li Zhao is really a treasure. When he was hugging the two boys and chatting in the field, I was moved by his tenderness. Now I am laughing at his foolishness. How can there be such an interesting person in this world?”
“I’m so miserable. My grandmother asked me to find a boyfriend like Li Zhao? Where do I go to find that?”
“Hahaha. Upstairs, tell your grandmother that Li Zhao is already on my couch. You have no chance.”
“These delusional people upstairs. Remember to take medicine.”
Xu Bei learned from his agent that the ratings of If We fall In Love were overtaken by another show and couldn’t believe it. “How can there be a program that is more popular than If We fall In Love? Did they buy the ratings?”
Love had a strong audience base and the publicity was already in place. How could other programs overtake it?
“It’s real. The program asked the guests to send another promotional post.” The agent looked at him sympathetically. “I mentioned to you some time ago that the national station had a variety show that lacked a guest but you wanted to go to Love. Thus, this show was taken by Li Zhao of Strawberry Entertainment.”
“Who did you say?” Hearing this name was like being struck by lightning. Xu Bei’s heart beat like a drum. “You say it again.”
“The national channel’s Seclusion Mountain Forest overtook Love and the sponsors of Love are very dissatisfied.”
In order to win a spot on Love, the companies spent nine digits and now it was being overtaken by a program with no sense of existence.
“No, I mean… Li Zhao also participated in the recording of Seclusion Mountain Forest?”
“Yes.” The agent looked at Xu Bei with pity. If Xu Bei had taken Seclusion Mountain Forest rather than Love, perhaps the effect would be better.
The overall age of viewers of the national channel was a bit older. Being able to get the approval of this audience group was equivalent to getting the audience. This was much more practical than online speculation and buying marketing.
Xu Bei didn’t see the pity in his agent’s eyes. His brain was buzzing and his chest was stuffy.
Li Zhao, Li Zhao, how was it him again?
Seeing his ugly face, the agent comforted him. “Don’t think about it. Although there is the dark horse in Seclusion Mountain Forest, there are still many viewers of Love. Comments about you on the Internet are also very position. There are many audience members boasting that you are a noble prince from a castle.”
The agent said something but Xu Bei didn’t hear it. His mind could only think about Li Zhao.
“You can’t let Li Zhao be hot like this.” The hotter Li Zhao became, the more it proved that everything Xu Bei did was useless.
The agent looked at Xu Bei and didn’t speak.
&#k2018;What does Li Zhao’s fire have to do with you? Your face value isn’t in the top echelon at all. You treat this person was a competitor while Li Zhao’s team doesn’t pay attention to you are all. Can you really be an AC?’
Unfortunately, Xu Bei didn’t have such a thing.
He turned on his phone to see that the major marketing accounts were scrambling to get clips of Li Zhao in the variety show. His heart seemed to be soaked in lemon juice, so acidic that he wanted Li Zhao to disappear immediately.
However, Li Zhao didn’t disappear. Overnight, he saw Li Zhao’s Weibo soar by hundreds of thousands of fans. Countless netizens rushed to Seclusion Mountain Forest to leave a message, asking them to release some tidbits that weren’t put in the show and urging them to release the next episode.
The thing that made Xu Bei even more frustrated was that when he participated in the Love program, there were many male guests who secretly mocked him for entering the program by walking through the back door. Meanwhile, all the guests were extremely close to Li Zhao.
Why?! Why was it like this?

Li Zhao ate bacon for all three meals. Even for breakfast, the table was filled with a plate of lean bacon. Presumably, he looked too pitiful when secretly eating bacon on camera so Ting Ting had a misunderstanding. It wasn’t only Ting Ting. Even Zhang Xiaoyuan’s parents and his three friends from the orphanage said they would send him bacon.
“Ting Ting, let’s not eat bacon at night.” At lunch, Li Zhao stared at the fried bacon in front of him. “No matter how delicious, you can’t eat it right?”
Yan Ting hesitated. He was like a parent who didn’t know how to raise his child well. He listened to what his child liked and kept doing the same thing.
“In fact, I like to eat this.” Seeing Yan Ting’s expression, Li Zhao hurriedly grabbed two pieces of meat and placed them in his bowl. “It just that the bacon is salted meat. You aren’t well and can’t often accompany me to eat these foods.”
“Okay.” Yan Ting’s hand moved and he drank the small bowl of soup that Li Zhao gave him.
“Ting Ting, you haven’t been to the company often these days.” Li Zhao asked, “In your current position, do you not have to go to the company?”
“I don’t need to go to the company for a lot of my work. Doing it remotely on my computer is enough.” Yan Ting put down the bowl of soup and didn’t look up at Li Zhao. “Don’t worry about me.”
“Yes.” Li Zhao’s impression of senior white-collar workers was all from his imagination so he was convinced by Yan Ting’s words.
In the afternoon, the two people sat in the sun room to read. Yan Ting read an original book while Li Zhao read a fashion magazine. In order to raise Li Zhao’s sense of fashion, the company had ordered many top-tier fashion magazines for him.
It might be that he didn’t have many fashion cells. He felt that these models couldn’t compare to Yan Ting wearing a suit. There were also big red flower pants, making him doubt life. Turning over, he found that one picture where the model was holding a computer and dressed in a suit looked the best.
“What are you looking at?” Seeing Li Zhao stop turning the page, Yan Ting put down the book in his hand and leaned over to look.
“Sure enough, a man at work is the most handsome.” Li Zhao showed the magazine to Yan Ting. “Isn’t that right?”
Yan Ting gazed at the photo and didn’t speak.
The next morning, Li Zhao finished running with Yan Ting. After changing clothes and going downstairs, he found Yan Ting sitting at the table in a suit.
“Ting Ting, are you going out today?”
“The company has an emergency meeting and I need to be present.” Yan Ting was doing up his tie while speaking. “The kitchen will prepare soup for me at noon. If you are free, can you help me bring it to the company?”
“Okay, no problem.” Li Zhao easily promised. “I heard your company is strict. Can I really send it to the company?”
“No problem, I am the president’s person and it is a small matter to have a family member send me a meal.” Yan Ting paused. “Forget it, if you have to go shoot the program in a few days and require a good rest at home then I can send the driver over.”
“What’s the matter? I’m idle anyway.” Li Zhao patted his chest. “You can rest assured that I will definitely deliver it to you on time.”
Wasn’t it delivering food? It was okay for him to cook for his brother. Still, could friends be called family members?
He secretly glanced at Yan Ting and decided to give up on such a trivial matter.
Before noon, Li Zhao grabbed the insulation box prepared by the kitchen and set off. He was lucky he didn’t encounter a traffic jam on the way. It wasn’t yet noon when he arrived at Cang Huan’s headquarters. Passing through the gate, the handsome security guard just glanced at him twice and didn’t stop him.
Stepping into the brilliant lobby, Li Zhao controlled his impulse to look more closely.
One, two, three, four.
Handsome, elegant and calm.
Today’s Li Zhao wasn’t the ordinary Li Zhao but the Li Zhao wanting to bring food for Yan Ting. He couldn’t shame Ting Ting.
Walking to the front desk, Li Zhao took the mask off his face. “Excuse me, excuse me, I am…”
“Mr Li.” Qin Xiao called out behind him.
“Mr Qin?” Seeing Qin Xiao in a suit, Li Zhao couldn’t help smiling. An acquaintance would make things easier.
“Mr Li, did you come to deliver the meal to Mr Ting?” Qin Xiao saw the oversized thermal rice bucket in Li Zhao’s hand and suspected that Li Zhao had a misunderstanding about the boss’ appetite. “Come with me, I will take you up.”
“Will this affect your work?” Li Zhao hesitated. “If it affects you then I won’t go up. You can help me give the lunch box to Yan Ting.”
“Of course not.” Qin Xiao smiled. “Rest assured that the company’s welfare for the senior personnel is excellent.”
“Then I will trouble you.”
Li Zhao followed Qin Xiao into an elevator. It was worthy of the world-famous business. Even the elevator’s interior decorations were exquisite.
The front desk employee, who didn’t have an opportunity to speak from beginning to end, watched Special Assistant Qin take this person away. After a while, he spoke to the person next to him, “Do you think the young man just now looks a lot like your Zhao Zhao?”
“No, it isn’t like that at all.” Her colleague shook her head while inwardly screaming.
‘Ahhhhhh, my family’s baby is so good and polite! So beautiful!’
Not only did he send food to someone in the company, but he was also friendly with Special Assistant Qin. Why was her family’s baby so good?
“Are you talking about Li Zhao?” A young female employee in a professional suit with an assistant badge on her chest came up to him and smiled, “You just saw Li Zhao?”
“No, she just got it wrong.” The colleague hurriedly denied it. “That wasn’t Li Zhao.”
This female staff member couldn’t possibly be their baby’s fan. Was she a black fan? No no, the front desk employee couldn’t let this female staff member know that the baby was sending food. What if she blackened and smeared the baby on the Internet?
Her baby was so cute that she wanted to protect the cutest baby in the world.
The author has something to say:
Baby Zhao Zhao: Children who study hard are the cutest.
Baby Ting Ting who straightened his book and took out a small book to place on his table: Look at me, look at me. I am the most serious baby reading in the class!
