The Useless Stepmom Brings Her Kids to Reality TV Shows to Photograph Them - Chapter 84

84 The Inexplicable Spokesperson

The Li family was still focused on the food. After all, they had been deprived of good and fulfilling meals since the time they stepped into the Lan Village.

Li Zexin took a big bite of the red braised meat. “My God!” What kind of delicious flavor is this?! Why didn’t I know red braised pork was this delicious before?”

Li Zekai liked shrimp. The chef was very good. He probably knew about the children of the five families. He had specially peeled the shrimp and fried it with corn. The shrimp meat was delicious. Li Zekai had been drooling ever since he had seen the shrimp on the dinner table. The moment they were allowed to eat, Li Zekai scooped a huge among into his bowl.

Li Zexuan had been controlling his diet at night. However, when he thought about the food that Li Yanchen had been cooking for the past few days, he decided that he would eat till he was full today, no matter what.

!!
Lin Wan was still thinking about the agreement and the matter of the host’s high school. When she saw the plates of delicious food on the table, she did not have any appetite, at least not until she could take her revenge for the original Lin Wan.

Li Yanchen had been eating the food that he had cooked himself for the past few days. Besides the fish and meat, he took huge scoops of vegetables for the meal.

The five of them didn’t seem to hear what the director said and buried their heads in their hands.

“Director, please do tell. I’m hanging on to my last breath. My heart is in my throat,” Xia Mo urged.

“Before that, I would like to say to the families who didn’t get selected to not be discouraged. Our program will have brands and companies wanting to recruit people from time to time. Maybe you will be selected next time. As for the family that did get selected, be prepared. Everyone, you have done a good job regardless. Keep it up! The Lan Shan Shui group will contact you and confirm the shoot.” The director was still holding them in suspense.

“Director, hurry up and say it.” Beads of sweat began to form on Michael’s forehead.

[There’s a result for the spokesperson of Lan Shan Shui. Ah, Xuanxuan, Xuanxuan!]

[Needless to say, it’s definitely Wheatley’s family. Everyone saw it this morning, Wheatley’s family is the most loving.]

[Xuanxuan’s house is the most realistic. Wheatley’s family obviously posed for it.]

[Which eye of yours saw Wheatley’s family posing? If it isn’t Wheatley’s family, it means there’s a conspiracy.]

[What a joke! The Li family is much better than Wheatley’s family. Wheatley is the one who’s in the dark.]

[Don’t you guys support the top student? Top student is not bad as well.]

[There’s also Anan’s family. It’s still better than joining them halfway through.]

[Are you looking down on the new family? There’s a lot of chaos in a family. People will have their moments of darkness and happiness.]

[Happiness like Tutu’s family? Or like Li Zexuan’s family? What a joke!]

The fans of the five families started arguing on the bullet screen.

“The family chosen for the endorsement is Li Zexuan’s family!”

Everyone looked at the Li family seated in the middle of the table.

Li Zexuan’s cowpea hung from his lips. “What?”

“Let us all congratulate Li Zexuan’s family.” The director was the first to applaud. The staff followed with their claps.

Xia Mo stood up. “Congratulations!” she said happily. “You deserve this.”

Nannan and Song Jing looked at each other. Michael kicked Nannan lightly on her leg. She forced a smile. “Congratulations!”

Song Jing’s eyes also narrowed. “The School Belle really is a School Belle. Congratulations!”

Lin Wan chewed on her food a few more times before swallowing it. “They chose five people to endorse their product?”

Li Yanchen’s chopsticks fell to the ground. His entire family had forgotten about this when they were busy with their tasks. ‘How did we manage to get the endorsement?’ Even he suspected whether someone had pulled some strings on their behalf.

“It was only a matter of time. You worked hard! Let’s continue with our food, shall we?” said the director as he took his seat with a smile.

[It’s really Xuanxuan’s family. I knew it! Why would they randomly choose an endorsement? Xuanxuan’s popularity is the highest, so he is definitely a good choice!]

[Shady business. Wheatley’s family was just a sidekick. Lan Shan Shui is the same as other brands, they only choose popular celebrities.]

[The person above is really jealous. The whole concept of Lan Shan Shui is to do with naturality and originality. Wheatley’s family always rehearses before they do anything. Where is the originality in that?]

[What about the top student? Everyone’s image is just alright. Wouldn’t it be more realistic and fairer if celebrities weren’t chosen?]

[This is the Lan Shan Shui group’s decision. You can ask them about it. I think Xuanxuan’s family earned this because of what they went through.]

[A fence-sitter always ends up falling for both sides. You guys were the ones who criticized Lin Wan back then. Now, you guys are also the ones supporting them.]

[If Xuanxuan has a conflict with others, we will side with Xuanxuan. If the Xuanxuan family has a conflict with others, we will side with the Xuanxuan family. Do you understand?]

[Li Zexuan has many loyal dogs. I won’t drink a sip of water from the Lan Shan Shui brand. Goodbye.]

[Wow. A threat? Lan Shan Shui brand doesn’t need you to drink their water. You aren’t even worthy, and it will make no difference in their sales.]

A violation warning soon appeared in the live broadcast room.

[If you guys want to continue watching, then use positive energy. The result is already there. Just accept it and move on.]

…

Everyone had a lot on their minds during the meal, especially Nannan. If the camera was not facing the table, she would have left after the director announced the results. She vividly remembered the Li family’s attire in the morning. It was fine that the costumes were not uniform, but the five of them sat in a row on the top of the mountain. There was no tacit understanding between them at all.

Song Jing was also very unhappy. Lan Shan Shui had always paid attention to the spokesperson’s word of mouth. With the Li family members, each one was more capable than the other. Even when Lin Wan had been criticized so many times and had ended up in the hot search, they actually chose the Li family to be their spokesperson. Song Jing didn’t mind being rejected but she felt that the most suitable candidate had been Nannan and her family.

Xu Xiaoxiao didn’t participate in the mission, so the result didn’t matter to her. She just wanted to finish her meal and go back.

Only Xia Mo was happy for Lin Wan from the bottom of her heart. Lin Wan caught the expressions on everyone’s faces. Their fake smiles were very apparent to her, especially Song Jing’s.

Although she was not interested in the endorsement, Lin Wan still felt like she should say something. “We didn’t do much, so I think we don’t really deserve this spot. However, since we have been chosen, we will do our best to work hard.”

[Lin Wan’s too much. She’s trying her best to look worried. Look, the Xuanxuan family doesn’t want to fight for it. They got lucky.]

[It’s easier said than done.]

[Lin Wan’s words are infuriating.]

[Lin Wan, if you know how to talk, then say more.]

[How ironic! Who was the one who wanted Lin Wan to not appear in the livestream?]

[You said that was in the past. It’s different now. Why? Are you not convinced?]

[Everyone, please stop arguing. If you get another warning, the broadcast will shut down.]

[Tsk…]

“Thank you so much, everyone. We are very grateful,” said Li Yanchen.

Li Zexuan was speechless. So was Li Zexin. Li Yanchen had never even agreed to an interview, so why was he accepting endorsement deals?

Very quickly, the news of Li Zexuan’s family securing the endorsement deal for Lan Shan Shui became a hot topic.

Assistant Qin saw the news after work and called Secretary Han. “Secretary Han, has the boss gone mad? Doesn’t he care about the company anymore? Is he preparing to leave the company in the young master’s hands? Look at the video, he says he is grateful to be chosen!”

“Did he realize that being a celebrity sounds better than being a businessman? Maybe he wants to do it for his sons. Maybe as a team?” Secretary Han was just as confused.
