The pot on Meng Chuyuan’s side was sizzling with oil, so she could not hear their conversation at all.

Putting aside whether he had the intention to or not, he really did not have the right to say anything about bringing another family member to the variety show.

Even if it was possible for him to bring another family member onto the show, Lu Jinsen felt that with his mother’s personality, she was not suitable to participate in such variety activities.

After a while, Lu Jinsen gently removed her hand from his body and exposed her mercilessly. “Mom, you’re not tired. You’re just bored.”

Madam Lu said, “Then I’m bored and really tired too. I don’t understand what they are saying and I can’t communicate with them.”

This felt just like her student days. When she went to school, she could not understand the teacher’s classes. After failing to keep up with the progress twice or thrice, she would lose interest in the course, but she would have no choice but to force herself to accept this reality.

Madam Lu also wanted to participate in the company’s projects, but her age was obvious. She was not a hands-on person and she could not interact with a group of young people.

Faced with Madam Lu’s anxiety, Lu Jinsen said in all seriousness, “Eventually everyone will have to face the consequences of their actions. What goes around comes around. Why don’t you think of a way to trick Big Brother to come back?”

If Lu Jinsen had any intention of inheriting the family business, he would not have entered the entertainment industry.

The next morning, sunlight creeped into the bedroom through the window. Meng Chuyuan lay on the big bed. Feeling the blinding light, she shifted uneasily and opened her eyes sleepily.

She wanted to sleep in and wake up naturally today, but she was defeated by the sunlight.

Meng Chuyuan stretched out her arms and yawned, conveniently lifting the blanket in the process. She slowly looked out the window and guessed that it was around eight or nine o’clock.

She happened to see the phone beside her pillow light up, so she sat up in bed and looked through her phone for a while.

Because the production team had requested her to register a Weibo account yesterday, the notifications she received today were mostly from Weibo. When she clicked on the notifications, her screen was filled with red dots.

Meng Chuyuan opened her Weibo homepage and saw that she had already gained more than a million fans today. The vlog she had posted yesterday had been forwarded more than 300,000 times, and her post was still on the trending searches on Weibo today.

Not only that, but she also found many corporate official Weibo accounts in her private messages, requesting for a collaboration. After watching the variety show that Meng Chuyuan had recorded, many entertainment companies wanted to work with her.

Among the many private messages, she scrolled to one of the more interesting invitations. A company wanted to nurture her to be a pastoralist on their company social media platform. They even laid out many mutually beneficial outlooks from the collaboration.

Meng Chuyuan was not tempted at all after reading the invitation. She even rejected it heartlessly.

She did not have any plans today. After she woke up, she stayed at home and did not go anywhere.

Lu Jinsen’s manager had accepted many jobs for him. Although they were mostly mediocre jobs, with his new-found popularity after participating in the variety show, his presence was much stronger than before.

After the morning commercial event ended, Lu Jinsen and his manager left through the emergency exit.

“The historical drama I told you about last time should start filming in two months.”

The manager suddenly thought of something and mentioned it to him. “What do you think? If you want to act in it, I’ll personally make a trip over these two days and begin negotiations with them in advance. Let’s try to sign the contract and join their film production team right after you finish filming the variety show.”

The period of time after the end of the variety show was considered optimal for seamless transition to other projects. Taking advantage of Lu Jinsen’s improved popularity, she tried her best to fight for what she could.

At the mention of this, Lu Jinsen suddenly hesitated again. After a while, he asked solemnly, “What do you think?”

“What can I think?” The manager looked up at him in confusion and said urgently, “You’re the first artist I’ve led in this job. The company has been asking me to lead newcomers for the past two years, but I’ve rejected them all. Can you work harder? I’m relying on you to make a comeback now.”

When Lu Jinsen was at his lowest point, only his manager did not despise him. The company was unwilling to allocate good resources to him, so he could only live cluelessly like this.

If not for the fact that he still had some popularity, he would probably never have gotten a chance at the variety show either.

“Alright, if we can get the contract, I’ll act.”

Lu Jinsen knew that he had no say in whether he was to be selected or not. If he even ended up losing the opportunity to be selected, he would really be a failure.

“Have some confidence. This role is tailor-made for you. No one else can play it but you.”

Madam Lu didn’t go to the office today. After lunch in the afternoon, she took out a few different colors of yarn and asked Meng Chuyuan to teach her..
