I Refused to Be a Substitute, and Shot to Fame on a Variety Show With My Mother-In-Law - Chapter 244
Chapter 244: Han Qianye: Can You Work Harder!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Mother-in-law Joy’s last episode was recorded in North Water Town.
North Water Town was also a small town outside the suburbs of the capital. It occupied a larger area than Fu Town. It was covered in green bricks and tiles and was surrounded by mountains and rivers. It was not as strict as bookings in Fu Town. Usually, tourists only needed to book a hotel in advance.
The production team had already arranged a place to stay in North Water Town in advance.
The next day, Li Xiwu packed her luggage briefly and got into the car to pick her up to North Water Town. She went to pick up Han Qianye. The production team staff helped her with her luggage, so she did not waste any time.
As soon as Han Qianye got into the car, she began to chat. “If I had known that the last episode would be recorded in North Water Town, I would have suggested that the production team choose North Water Town from the start. This North Water Town is much more fun than Fu Town.”
Li Xiwu glanced sideways and asked, “You’ve been to North Water Town?”
“I’ve been there.” Han Qianye asked Li Xiwu, “You’ve never been to North Water
Town?”
Li Xiwu smiled faintly and shook her head.
In the past three years, as long as she had time, she had played paragliding most often. Other than that, it was either a shooting club or an equestrian club. She had never traveled far. The only place she frequented in the suburbs of the capital was her small courtyard.
Han Qianye immediately said, “It’s okay. I’m familiar with it. I’ll bring you to
North Water Town to have fun for the next three days.”
Li Xiwu agreed. ‘Okay.”
It was still early. The live broadcast would not start until they reached North Water Town. The journey of an hour and thirty minutes was much further than Fu Town. The production team’s car took the guests directly to book a hotel.
At this moment, the second and third groups of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had already arrived at the hotel.
Tang Xian saw Li Xiwu get out of the car and waved at her from afar. “Xiwu.” Waving her hand, Tang Xian walked over. “So we’re only a few minutes away.” Li Xiwu asked, “Did you and Jinzhu just arrive?
Tang Xian smiled and nodded. “That’s right. If we had known, we would have come over in a car. There would have been two more people to chat on the way.”
Han Qianye, who was pushing her suitcase over, said indifferently, “The production team doesn’t lack this bit of money. Why should we squeeze in a car? Besides, it’s not comfortable to squeeze.”
Han Qianye usually disdained to say such things. Although Tang Xian did not say anything just now, Han Qianye felt uncomfortable when she heard that, so she could not help but retort.
Tang Xian was not a petty person. She replied with a smile, “If this was summer, it would indeed be uncomfortable to squeeze. But winter was okay.”
Han Qianye said, “I don’t like it.”
Tang Xian did not respond to Han Qianye’s words. She went to hold Li Xiwu’s hand. “When I came here just now, I heard from the production crew that there’s a hot spring in this hotel. I have high requirements for the water quality of the hot spring, so I asked around. It’s a high-quality iron hot spring of 3,000 meters. Iron hot springs are easier to promote the blood circulation in the body and are also very good for the skin.”
Li Xiwu wasn’t used to people who weren’t very familiar holding her hand as soon as they arrived. Although she had interacted with Tang Xian many times, they were not familiar with each other. She tried to pull her hand back calmly. Tang Xian asked her in confusion, “What’s wrong, Xiwu?”
Li Xiwu smiled faintly. “Nothing.”
Seeing Li Xiwu being pulled away by Tang Xian, Han Qianye looked unhappy. Although the live broadcast had yet to start, the surrounding cameras were recording. Under such circumstances, she naturally could not rush over and separate the two of them.
The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she became. Han Qianye kicked her suitcase.
Xue Jinzhu walked over and said, “Auntie Han, be careful not to hurt your feet.”
Han Qianye’s toes did hurt a little, but she gritted her teeth and endured it.
Without revealing anything on her face, she turned around and lectured Xue Jinzhu. “Why don’t you please your mother-in-law?
Xue Jinzhu said,
Han Qianye said, “Look at how enthusiastic she is about my daughter-in-law. It’s as if my daughter-in-law is her daughter-in-law. Can you work harder?” Xue Jinzhu:
Xue Jinzhu, who had not thought much of it at first, suddenly felt that Han Qianye’s words made sense. A group was a group. How could they be mixed up!
Hence, Xue Jinzhu said, “Auntie Han, it’s fine if we join forces.”
Han Qianye gla_nced sideways at Xue Jinzhu, who had recommended herself.
Xue Jinzhu nodded.
Han Qianye said, “You can’t.”
Xue Jinzhu whispered, “I’m a future popular celebrity!
This response could not be transmitted to the camera because Xue Jinzhu lowered her voice and whispered into Han Qianye’s ear.
Han Qianye did not think much of it at first, but she felt that she would seem too inhumane. She clenched her fist and gestured for Xue Jinzhu to work hard. “Then work hard.”
Xue Jinzhu beamed with joy and held Han Qianye’s arm affectionately. She whispered, “Of course I have to work hard. At the very least, I have to be worthy of the money my father spent on me. I’m my father’s pride.”
Han Qianye looked at Xue Jinzhu’s giggling and then looked down at Xue Jinzhu’s hand on her arm. She immediately sighed and thought how good it would be if Xixi could be like this someday.
On the first day of the live broadcast in North Water Town today, the production team did not arrange any missions.
They had to adapt to the new place first. Apart from that, there would be special guests parachuted in today.
This time, the special guests were not arranged by the production team at the last minute. There was this plan in the previous script. It had already been passed, but because the first two episodes could not be broadcast, in order to create more highlights, the production team re-planned the plan that had been passed.
During the recording of the previous episode, the production team was already contacting suitable special guests.
After interacting with several celebrities, they finally decided on one. She was MO Yujin, an actress who had once been extremely popular in the entertainment industry.
The difference between MO Yujin and Min Hanrong was that Min Hanrong was once extremely famous. Later on, she married and retired. She rarely appeared in the audience’s sight again. This time, it was the first time she had returned to the audience’s sight after more than ten years.
MO Yujin had also been famous for a period of time, but she was still filming now. The roles she took on were those of mothers or empress dowagers, and she had a certain status in the industry.
This time, MO Yujin participated in the variety show as a special guest to learn how to interact with mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in advance and increase the atmosphere of the production team.
Moreover, the production team would draw a loyal single female fan of
“Mother-in-Law Joy” to come to the show to experience being MO Yujin’s daughter-in-law for three days.
The production team had already publicized it on the official Weibo account yesterday. Usually, there were only two to three thousand likes on the Weibo account. Yesterday, they posted that they were going to draw a loyal single female fan of Mother-in-Law Joy and experience the daughter-in-law of the last special guest for three days. The likes exceeded 280,000.
There were more than 70,000 comments alone.
[I don’t care who the special guest is. I just want to experience the joy of being on a variety show.]
[Pick me! Pick me! Pick me! I haven’t stopped for a day since Mother-in-Law Joy was broadcasted!]
[Although it’s clearly said that it’s only three days, three days is also very blissful, okay? Food and accommodation are provided, and I can even interact with Mother Dragon and Min Hanrong. I wouldn’t dare to do this even in my dreams..]
