My Wife Became a Top Star After I Came Back from Quick Transmigration - Chapter 68
As the top female celebrity with the most traffic in the past two years, the moment the news of Zhao Lin’s participation in the variety show was released, fans from all over the country rushed to Xia Hong Town.
One reason was that they couldn’t give up a chance to be close to their idol. Another reason was to create momentum for Zhao Lin.
The Guesthouse had invited a group of guests. Jiang Lun and Wu Qingqing were this year’s hottest couple, and their fanbase was not small. Qi Youxuan had been the most popular female celebrity in the girl group scene for many years, and her fans were numerous and loyal. Qiu Mingyi and Zhuo Zitou were veterans in the industry. Not to mention their fans, their seniority alone was a force to be reckoned with.
As for Su Qixi, there was no need to say more. She had the popularity, the experience, and the seniority. She had left her days as an employee and become a capitalist, making a lot of money from her investments this year. Not to mention she had never denied having a powerful backer. In other words, she had a strong support system!
With all these halos, Su Qixi was not to be messed with. The others weren’t easy to mess with either, but they couldn’t let their Zhao Lin be too humble in front of them.
Therefore, to give Zhao Lin’s first variety show a big splash, the fan club had been constantly urging fans to go and show their support for Zhao Lin.
Many of the fans were simple students who had no resistance to the world-famous “brainwashing.”
When Lei Zhiming released more mission updates, the Ink Guest House was immediately filled with Zhao Lin’s fans.
Because of the line-cutting issue, two fights even broke out early in the morning. The key was that the people fighting were Zhao Lin’s fans against Zhao Lin’s fans; in other words, her own fans were fighting each other.
Fans of the other stars were already used to the recent business model, and many had already returned home. The fans who stayed were mostly easygoing and laid-back.
Therefore, when they saw the fight, they weren’t in a hurry to line up. They all gathered around to watch the gossip.
In the end, it took Zhao Lin herself coming out to calm the situation. Zhao Lin also thoughtfully had her fans line up to come in.
[Ahhhhhhh, Zhao Lin, Zhao Lin!!! I finally saw Zhao Lin.]
[Wuwuwu, it’s finally live. My Zhao Lin.]
[I hope the seniors will take good care of Zhao Lin!]
The live broadcast began, and the comments were quickly dominated by Zhao Lin’s fans.
For Zhao Lin’s first variety show, the experienced Lei Zhiming had fought a beautiful battle.
Even though all this fighting for the number one spot seemed meaningless, Lei Zhiming had a purpose in using various methods to show that Zhao Lin had a massive fanbase with many active members.
It should be known that since Zhao Lin became popular, she had signed many endorsements, promotions, and commercial performances. And these things required a massive fanbase to support them. And all of this was thanks to Lei Zhiming’s efforts to create momentum.
For a female celebrity like Zhao Lin, who had just become popular in the entertainment industry and had no foundation or public recognition, it was very difficult for her to sign with a big, nationally recognized brand like Su Qixi.
Zhao Lin was still… too green.
Therefore, Lei Zhiming had to let people know about Zhao Lin’s fanbase at all times.
Under these circumstances, as soon as the doors opened today, fans swarmed in just like on the first day of business. In less than two minutes, the front hall was completely filled with fans, and the entrance was even blocked by them.
At that moment, Qiu Mingyi, who was standing in the front hall, was almost knocked off his feet by the wave of fans. He held his tray and looked at the crowd, shivering.
Zhuo Zitou also had a frozen smile on her face as she looked at the at least 70 fans who had rushed in within two minutes, feeling very confused.
Some of the other fans went to the courtyard, and the rest were stopped by the director’s staff.
The fans who had already gotten in were unwilling to leave, and it would look bad to make them. So, everyone had to grit their teeth and prepare to start business.
They were getting to experience the first day of opening again.
[Hahahaha, their expressions are so funny.]
[Miss Pig is already working on the coffee.]
[When Ginger saw Miss Pig start, he also started to squeeze juice like crazy.]
[Their movements are getting faster and faster and more and more skilled (:з」∠)]
Lin Mo and Su Qixi were desperately making coffee, and Jiang Lun was desperately squeezing juice, while Qiu Mingyi was holding a notebook and shouting, “Take orders, take orders, everyone.”
Zhuo Zitou stood at the pick-up counter and shouted, “After you order, line up here to get your drink.”
Zhao Lin was directly surrounded by her own fans, but she had a bit of a conscience, so she tried desperately to break free. “Let me work!!!”
“Zhao Lin, let’s take a picture!”
“Zhao Lin, can I have your autograph?”
Zhao Lin: “I have to work!!!”
The comments section laughed at the chaotic scene.
The morning went by very quickly. All the stock was sold out around 11 a.m. By 11:30 a.m., they started to clear out the place and prepare to close.
By 12 p.m., everyone had cleaned up everything and collapsed on the table, their eyes vacant.
Zhao Lin hadn’t done much, but she was also exhausted.
Director Feng rubbed his nose and said apologetically, “We didn’t do a good job of stopping them this morning. They broke through.”
[Hahahaha, what do you mean, you didn’t stop them? Look at how tired my darlings are.]
[Miss Pig was on a whole other level today.]
[I have to say, Su Su also had six arms today!]
Jiang Lun propped himself up like a dead dog and said miserably, “We’re all out of stock…”
Director Feng waved his hand and said with a smile, “Just restock! Today, everyone can go out together to restock for the Ink Guest House.”
Zhuo Zitou put her head on the table and asked weakly, “Why together? What’s the purpose?”
Director Feng: “No reason. You’ve never restocked as a group before, so we’re making a special arrangement for you to do it together today. We’ve arranged a bus to the supermarket and a camera crew to follow you. At the same time, security personnel will protect you, so you can relax.”
Everyone looked up at him, waiting for him to say the rest.
Director Feng chuckled. “It seems you’ve already seen through my purpose, so I won’t hide it. That’s right, it’s not just restocking. Today, we’ll give you some time to do your own thing. In this time, you can buy a gift. Tonight, you can exchange gifts as a thank you for taking care of each other during this time. How about it?”
Although he didn’t say who they would be exchanging gifts with, everyone, from Director Feng to the audience and the guests, knew that the gifts they bought would eventually be exchanged with their partners.
Even Zhao Lin didn’t doubt that the person she would be exchanging a gift with in the end would be Yun Yue.
Therefore, when they heard about this little mission, everyone perked up.
Since they were going out to restock, they could just make a simple lunch.
But the usually unintelligent Zhao Lin suddenly came to life! She said that today was her second day of filming and her first time participating in the business. The fans who came today were mostly her fans. Therefore, she decided to cook a meal herself to thank everyone.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Lin’s cooking skills were pretty good.
She made a table full of spicy dishes, such as Kung Pao chicken, mapo tofu, and other common, simple, and easy-to-make home-cooked meals.
This meal brought Zhao Lin closer to the other members. After all, if you eat someone’s food, you can’t be rude to them!
Zhao Lin also felt that her interactions with the other guests had clearly improved. At least, after breakfast this morning, the people who were unwilling to talk to her were now enthusiastically chatting with her.
Zhao Lin secretly sent Lei Zhiming a thumbs-up emoji.
When the bus got on the highway, the host, Xia Zhen, appeared again.
She held up the mission card and said to the guests, “Today, we’ve picked a few questions from netizens, and the guests need to answer them.”
[Ahhhhh, we’re finally at this part!]
[Please, please choose my question!]
[Please! Show some love to us CP fans! Our questions are always ignored during interviews. o(╥﹏╥)o]
Qiu Mingyi immediately asked, “What kind of netizens?”
Xia Zhen thought for a moment and said, “Senior Qiu, let me think of an excuse.”
Qiu Mingyi immediately understood. “…It seems they’re CP fans.”
[Hahahaha, The Guesthouse is definitely a dating show.]
[Senior Qiu even knows about CP fans.]
Seeing Qiu Mingyi say this, Xia Zhen didn’t deny it. The CP fans of this show were indeed the main force, promoting and creating momentum everywhere. They were the heroes!
Director Feng dared to play this big game because everyone was being so genuine.
She thought about it, took out the card, and read the first question. “Senior Qiu, between you and Zhuo, who pursued whom? Was it hard to pursue?”
Qiu Mingyi listened and thought it wasn’t a difficult question to answer.
Qiu Mingyi: “I pursued her. If it had been easy, we wouldn’t be on this show.”
Zhuo Zitou stomped on his foot. Qiu Mingyi took a breath with a smile, hiding his pain.
[Hahahahahaha, I saw that stomp.]
[Look at how angry his wife is. Someone comfort him.]
After getting the desired answer, Xia Zhen put the card away and continued. “Is ‘Unparalleled’ real?”
Jiang Lun immediately replied, “Working on it, working on it.”
[Ahhhhhhh, he’s admitting it!]
[This clearly means he’s going to pursue her!]
Xia Zhen asked, “Miss Pig, have you and Su Su slept together?”
[???]
[Who asked this? Good job!]
[Oh my God, you’re so brave, sister! I wanted to ask that too. Hehe.]
Lin Mo was so taken aback by the question that she coughed and jokingly scolded Xia Zhen, “That’s not right! Why are the questions for us so crazy?”
[Hahaha, Miss Pig is so scared.]
[She didn’t immediately deny it. Interesting.]
Xia Zhen smiled and replied without fear, naturally and bravely, “Because the ‘Qilin’ couple’s fans are that bold. I’ve looked through the questions, and 90% of them are like this. It’s not strange to get one.”
Lin Mo coughed. “…I refuse to answer.”
Zhao Lin blurted out, “If you don’t deny it, then you’re admitting it.”
Whoosh! Everyone looked at Zhao Lin in horror again.
She’s at it again!!!
Xia Zhen was also startled, afraid that Zhao Lin would make a big scene. She quickly changed the topic to prevent the situation from getting out of control.
Just as they were about to reach the supermarket, Xia Zhen mysteriously held up another card and said with a smile, “This is the last question for today. It’s for all the guests here. Please listen.”
—“What was your dream partner like at the very beginning?”
What were they like? Everyone was stunned.
It seemed that there were often not many reasons for liking someone, and the person you ended up with was rarely the person you had first imagined.
But at the very beginning, what kind of person did you want to like?
Su Qixi was very clear about what she liked. When she talked about the person she liked, that person was already right in front of her. “Polite, well-mannered, good-looking, and affectionate…”
The more Zhao Lin listened, the more her eyebrows furrowed. She asked in a strange tone, “Where can you find a perfect person like that? If they exist, they’re probably faking it, right?”
Su Qixi: “…”
