Chapter 56: Drinking in the Countryside

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Ji Jingchi leaned lazily on the sofa. Seeing that his manager had hung up angrily, he pushed a cup of chrysanthemum tea in front of him. “This will help reduce the heat.”

The manager drank the chrysanthemum tea in one gulp, but it was still difficult for him to suppress his anger. “That’s too much! ‘Drinking in the Countryside’ is really not taking us seriously! You’re already an A-list and three-time Best Actor, but they actually want you to go on a variety show with those B and C-list celebrities. This is too degrading! What variety show is this? All of them brought in funds to join the production team. They’ve all become a tour group for the daughters of wealthy families!

“Jingchi, why don’t we forget about it? There are still a few variety show invitations here.”

Ji Jingchi narrowed his eyes. The scorching white light shone on his face, reflecting his handsome face. His lips curled into a smile. “Why should I not go? The penalty for breach of contract is high. Besides, isn’t it more interesting to watch a rich family drama up close?”

The manager choked. That was true. This best actor was very different in the entertainment industry. He did the filming and joined variety shows at a whim. Despite such a casual attitude, he even became the youngest best actor in the country. It was as if the heavens favored him.

Apart from filming, this best actor had another hobby, which was to watch shows.

On the other end of the call, the director of “Drinking in the Countryside” heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Best Actor Ji did not say that he wanted to withdraw from the variety snow. “Fortunately, we managed to retain Best Actor Ji. We’ll have to rely on Best Actor Ji to stabilize the viewership ratings for this season.”

Originally, the eight people that their variety show had planned to invite were all A-list big shots. However, the main investor, Chairman Gu, had called and increased his investment, but two people were forcibly added to the show.

One was Ruan Chu, an artist who left the industry because of the mistress scandal, and the other was the little princess of the Gu Group, Gu Yang.

There were only two people, so it was fine. There were still six A-listers. The two young ladies would probably leave after appearing in two episodes.

Then, the second investor, the eldest daughter of the Wang Corporation, also increased her investment. She also put two people in. Ruan Yan and Cao Junning were both artists below the B-list.

Damn it. It was such a good A-list variety show but they had to lower themselves.

However, they were both sponsors. No one could afford to offend either of them.

Director Chen and the program planner looked at each other and sighed.

At nine o’clock on Sunday.

[Drinking in the Countryside V:

An old friend prepared a sumptuous meal and invited me to visit him at his farm.

Green forests surround the village, and a line of green hills faintly slant outside the city wall.

Open the window to face the vegetable garden and threshing ground, drink wine and chat about farming.

The new season of Drinking in the Countryside is on. Be the first to watch. *link* ]

The eight guests also reposted the Weibo post for “Drinking in the Countryside” at the first moment.

There were already fans of various guests and variety show fans waiting in the live stream room. At nine o’clock sharp, the screen in the live stream room turned from dark to bright.

A small farmyard covered in white walls and tiles came into view. The camera slowly turned. Vines crawled around the wall in the courtyard, and there were roses everywhere. The cold wind of midsummer blew, and petals fluttered.

A fair-skinned young man in sportswear ran around the house. When he was running in the morning, he raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead. The corner of his shirt was naturally pulled up, revealing a small portion of his strong abs.

The comments in the live stream instantly skyrocketed.

[Ahhh! Brother Fu Sheng’s abs!]

[Why is the camera turning? Do I look like I care about seeing others on camera?!]

[Brother Fu Sheng, I heard that the correct way to start a morning run is to not wear clothes *drooling*.]

[Previous poster, just come clean that you want him to run naked, okay?]

The camera turned again, and a man and a woman walked out of two houses.

The man looked masculine. His skin had a healthy tan, but his facial features were deep and strong, not losing his handsomeness.

The young girl was wearing a light yellow lady’s dress. Her figure was petite and exquisite, and her eyes were bright and lively. She was a delicate and vulnerable little Loli, making people want to protect her..
