Chapter 6: Random

As the name suggests, "Let's Travel Poorly Together" is a travel program. It accurately captures the viewers' psychology of wanting to see big-name celebrities suffer and make a fool of themselves, specializes in throwing celebrities into poor villages or places with high consumption, gives only a very small amount of travel funds, and then follows the whole process of filming the celebrity guests suffering, quarreling and tearing each other apart.

When this program was being planned, McMansion TV wanted to make it a flagship variety show. The first season invited all the first-line or at that time the topic of sufficient guests, with powerful publicity, once aired, directly took the first year of the topic list of the variety show.

By the time the show ran into its fourth season this year, attention had dropped off. The producers somehow managed to get Noah to bring up the great god of Bai Ye.

In the original article, it was said that Bai Ye had a personal relationship with the producer to help him with the variety show, but Qi Xingchen clearly saw that Bai Ye did not know the producer well during the interview yesterday.

Anyway everything is a mystery.

Having to be away from home for so long starting next week, Qi Xingchen told Qi's family about his recording of the variety show during breakfast.

"It's that poor traveling variety show?" Qi Yuji put down the tea cup in his hand, "I thought you were just signing up for fun, you're not really going, are you?"

Qi Xingchen : "It's true."

"I've seen two episodes of that variety show, it's too hard," Qi Yuji worried, "You just got out of the hospital, can you stand it? Come with me to the mall later to buy something to take with you."

"I'm pretty much better, you guys don't have to worry about me."

Unfortunately, Qi Yuji didn't believe Qi Xingchen, and forced his brother out the door after dinner, saying he was going to make a grand purchase.

Just entering the underground garage, Qi Xingchen was almost blinded by two luxury cars parked side by side. A silver Rolls Royce and a gray Koenigsegg.

Qi Yuji ruffles her hair, "If you're tired of driving your old car, tell your sister to take the bus. These two are all yours, choose which one to drive today."

She blinked as she spoke, as if a little nervous. Qi Xingchen points to the slightly lower-profile Rolls-Royce, and the corners of her mouth droop for a moment.

Qi Xingchen saw the situation and hurriedly remedied: "This is a double number, today's limit, should drive the single number next to the car."

"Yeah!" Qi Yuji happily yelled at WeChat, "Big brother, Xingchen likes my car better! I won this time!"

Qi Xingchen : "......"

"By the way Xingchen, haven't you forgotten that our Qi family's cars are never restricted," Qi Yuji pursed her lips and smiled, "Go!"

.

As a powerful family in Ma Lisu's text, the Qi family really doesn't need to abide by the rules of number restriction, and when there is a traffic jam on the road, Qi Yuji can even instruct the driver: "Old Zhang, call Officer Li to send a car to open the road."

"...... No need!" Qi Xingchen was shocked for a few seconds and hurriedly stopped it, "The traffic jam ahead isn't too hard, we can pass in less than ten minutes, don't delay the others."

"It was hard for you to agree to come out with me, I wanted to spend more time with you."

"...... Then there is no need to look for the traffic police," Qi Xingchen looked at her sister who was full of pleasing face, and helplessly said, "I will not go to the company today, and stay with you all day."

"Wow!" Qi Yuji was so happy that he immediately started making plans for today's trip.

First stop, she took Qi Xingchen to a handmade store, and when she entered, she shouted, "Have all the clothes for my Xingchen arrived yet?"

The owner pulled two three-meter-long display racks out of the thermostat vault.

The second stop was the salon, where a young man in a black suit took Qi Yuji's card with both hands, a gesture that was more like an underground party meeting than an underground party meeting.

Qi Xingchen's face was full of questions. Seeing that his brother didn't understand, Qi Yuji explained, "This salon is a membership system, and only two hundred membership cards are distributed in the entire city of H. Only famous families and public figures of a certain level can join - for example, me and Bai Ye. The qualifications for membership are very strict, only famous families and public figures who have reached a certain level can join - like Bai Ye and I. I'm from a famous family, and Bai Ye is the only artist member in H city."

It turns out that top-floor people barbershops are so sophisticated, Qi Xingchen was pushed into a small box by Qi Yuji, and after sitting on a massage chair, he accidentally fell asleep because he was too comfortable.

Eyes close and open, and you change your hair.

Qi Xingchen's hair has never been taken care of since the original owner was admitted to the hospital. This time, the styling consultant helped him cut his hair shorter and dyed it a dark brown color, which made it look even lighter on his already white skin and better matched the clothes Qi Yuji bought for him.

At that moment, the coordinator of "Let's Travel Together" approached him for the official announcement photo, saying that Du Lanxin didn't answer his phone, so he had to call him. Qi Xingchen has not taken any official business photos since he has been in hiding for too long, so he took out his cell phone and took a few photos in front of the mirror.

"Wow, it all looks so good in front of the iPhone," the styling consultant's eyes shot out a stunning light, "Qiji Shao, can you leave the photo in our store as a template?"

Being transparent, Qi Xingchen didn't mind at all and sent the photos to the coordinator and the styling consultant respectively.

After a full day of shopping with Qi Yuji, the first group of guests was officially announced at 9pm:

--The official microblog of "Let's Travel Together" Season 4: A ripe peach in summer, the brightest Xingchen in the river of stars, all the sweetness and beauty are tied between you. Welcome @ Tao Tao @ Qi Xingchen.

Shortly after, fans who had been holding out for the official announcement blew up.

Damn, this face, this body! Where did this fairy brother come from? In three minutes, I want to get all the information about him!

.

In just one night, Qi Xingchen's microblog was almost bursting with new followers.

It wasn't really a lot, just thirty thousand. But the number of comments on his last photo punchline had increased to over a thousand. Qi Xingchen picked a few replies, then realized he just couldn't get through them all and gave up.

Qi Yuji is still not enough, while looking for masks and wildly pressing the phone, "Xingchen, your fans are actually several hundred thousand less than Tao Tao, I'll buy you a hot search to raise some powder."

"?" Qi Xingchen hastily refused, "Don't buy it!"

Qi Yuji : "...... Woohoo I already bought it, sorry Xingchen, I'll contact the other party to remove it then."

I did not expect her hand to be so fast, Qi Xingchen Speechless for a moment, "...... How much does it cost to buy a hot search?"

Qi Yuji aggrieved: "Six hundred thousand dollars."

Six hundred thousand!

In real life, Qi Xingchen had never seen so much money, and his heart almost dripped blood as it ached, "Then put it away, don't waste it. I have few fans anyway, it won't take long for the heat to go down."

Qi Xingchen was right, because there was no fan interaction to keep the heat up, he hung out in the middle of the Hot 100 for three hours and then gradually slid down. These three hours tripled his fan base to 150,000 fans.

Qi Xingchen couldn't help but smack his lips - is this the power of capital?

.

On Friday, the program team notified Qi Xingchen to go to McMansion TV to do the first narration interview.

For a transparent artist like him, the company didn't give him a nanny car, Du Lanxin drove him here himself and kept telling him when he arrived outside the studio:

"What you're going to record in a while is an introductory clip, mainly to familiarize the audience with you. If you have any interesting stems and baggage, make them come out, don't hide them."

"Age and height must be according to Baidu Encyclopedia - you should know that, right, age didn't change, height added three centimeters."

"Say what you need to say and don't say what you shouldn't. Never reveal your working class family background. Audiences nowadays love high-flying personas and don't like grassroots. If you don't know what to say just shake your head, the hosts won't make it difficult for Bai Ye bundle going artistes."

"...... Did you hear what I said?" Qi Xingchen kept silent, Du Lanxin got angry, "Taking my words for granted? And what's wrong with your face and hair, you didn't do your makeup?

Du Lanxin is in his thirties, and his body is out of shape because he has been in and out of pleasure grounds for many years, and his face shakes with fat when he speaks.

Qi Xingchen glanced at her and quickly turned her head, "I don't have a stylist."

Du Lanxin choked, indeed, not having met Qi Xingchen for half a year, she had already forgotten about it.

She was still counting on this new cash cow to make money. Du Lanxin called out to the stage manager, who was pushing a reflector and hurrying to the studio, "Hey, young man, my artist didn't put on any makeup in a hurry, so I'll ask your makeup artist to come over and help out."

"Sure," the groundskeeper, who couldn't see who was in front of him because of the reflectors, agreed haphazardly, "when I get this thing - ouch!"

While working and talking, the field did not care to look at the ground, accidentally tripped over the wires, the body instantly lost balance, involuntarily fell forward with the reflector!

Qi Xingchen was sitting on the bench in front of him when he saw a black object coming down on his head, it happened so suddenly that it was too late to run!

He raised his arms to protect his head, closed his eyes, and thought, Am I going to die here in retaliation for tampering with the plot?

But after waiting a few seconds, the pain did not come as promised.

When he opened his eyes, the visor was grasping Bai Ye's hand, and the field agent was being assisted by him, full of panic.

The male lead, who had probably arrived from another set, sounded with undisguised fatigue, "Be careful."

"Thank you, thank you." The stage manager bowed hurriedly, straightening up before realizing who it was that was helping him, and said incredulously, "You, you're Bai Ye? I saw Bai Ye, ah ah ah ah!!!"

With shivering hands he pulled a pen out of his pocket, "I, I'm super into you ...... Can you sign this for me?"

Bai Ye, however, did not respond and turned to Qi Xingchen first, "Are you alright."

Qi Xingchen: "It's okay."

"Okay," Bai Ye turned back, "sign it somewhere."

The venue manager didn't have a notebook with him, so he had Bai Ye sign his shirt. Qi Xingchen peeked at the handwriting and saw that it was almost identical to the signed albums in his collection.

Du Lanxin wanted to get close to Bai Ye, so he waited for the stage manager to leave and moved towards Bai Ye to curry favor with him, and just when he was about to open his mouth, he saw Bai Ye turn to Qi Xingchen, "You didn't bring a stylist with you?"

"...... Hmmm."

"Follow me." As if he didn't see the huge pile of people in front of him, he brushed past Du Lanxin and let his assistant lead the way directly to the lounge prepared by McMansionTV.

Du Lanxin's face turned red as he had to hold back his unspoken words.

Given Bai Ye's status, wherever he goes, the organizers will prepare a special lounge for him to put on make-up, change clothes, eat and wait for the shoot.

At this point in the lounge the clothes and things for applying makeup were ready, the stylist was humming and ironing shirts, and the makeup artist was spraying spray onto a sponge block.

Hearing the door open, she wanted to ask her boss why he came so late, turned her head to see Bai Ye followed by a young boy and froze, "Boss, is this ......?"

"Qi Xingchen, the guest of Poor Traveler," Bai Ye said, "Xiao Man, you help him with his makeup, I'll go change first."

"Ohhhh, okay," Xiao Man swept Qi Xingchen a surprised glance, "Mr. Qi, come sit down."

The first time Qi Xingchen entered an artist's dressing room, she was surprised by the room full of staff and sat stiffly in front of the make-up mirror.

Boys' makeup is easier to apply, especially if you have a small face like Qi Xingchen's with no skin blemishes, so you just need a little bit of primer and contouring to enhance your color and adjust the shape of your eyebrows.

Xiao Man's hands were not stopping and his mouth was not idle as he asked in a low voice, "Mr. Qi, are you a friend of our boss?"

"Uh ......" Qi Xingchen didn't know what they were counting, "I'm Noah's artist, I didn't do my styling today was bumped into by Elder Bai Ye, he brought me here to do my makeup."

Xiao Man was even more surprised - Bai Ye was quiet, hated socializing, and almost never brought anyone to his lounge. Why did he suddenly change his mind this time? Not only did he bring someone, but he also brought a teenager who wasn't even a friend.

It's not that simple, Xiao Man. Eyeballing him, "So, Mr. Ki, how did you two meet?"

"Are you going to ask how many more people are in his family's account book," at that moment Bai Ye came back from changing his clothes and flashed her a warning look, "Serious work."

"...... Oh." Xiao Man rushed Qi Xingchen, sticking out his tongue and making a "crying" expression. However, there was no fear in his eyes, so he was clearly not afraid of Bai Ye.

Previously, Bai Ye's side of the staff broke the news, said that he looked very cold, in fact, treat the people around him very easy, no star shelf, it seems to say the truth.

Xiao Man hadn't finished his drawing, so Bai Ye had to sit to Qi Xingchen's left and ask the hairdresser to do his hair first.

Qi Xingchen hadn't seen Ai Dou behind the scenes, and with a twitch of her mind, she couldn't help her eyes drifting down to the left even though she knew it was fake.

Then hurry up and take it back.

It drifted down to the left again.

Hurry up and take it back.

...... Hiss, I've got a headache. He Ai Dou pure vegetarian face simply do not look too good, if beauty needs to be taxed, he Ai Dou afraid to be too handsome because of the dumping of the family!

Qi Xingchen eyes drift to the left for the third time ......

Bai Ye finally couldn't take it anymore and glanced at him in the mirror.

The moment the two lines of sight met, peeping people as if copying homework was caught as an elementary school student, immediately do sit squarely. The upper body is straight and looks forward, as if he has not done anything wrong.

That's a bit too big of a reaction, Bai Ye raised his eyebrows, "Qi Xingchen, you're afraid of me?"

"No, no."

"Then how come I'm so scared?"

It's not because you and I, Ai Dou, are like a mold, every time I see you, I can't help but get into Ai Dou, which makes me nervous, Qi Xingchen replied silently in his heart.

"Is it because ......" Bai Ye hesitates for a moment, "Did I whip you that day in the practice room and scare you?"

Qi Xingchen was speechless for a moment, he couldn't even wait to like Bai Ye, how could he be afraid!

"Not afraid, really!" Qi Xingchen in a hurry, forget this person in front of him is true or false, afraid of explaining not understand, fingers anxious in the knee scratching around, "you randomly smoke, how you want to smoke how you want to smoke, how to make you satisfied how to smoke, I'm willing to very much!"

Xiao Man: "......"

Hair Stylist: "......"

Assistant Bai Ye: "......"

The crowd in the lounge felt as if they were experiencing a large S.M scene, and the scene was silent for a while.

"......" Qi Xingchen reacted to what she was saying, and her face turned red as the blood flowed back to her face.

He wanted to explain, opened his mouth but realized that the current situation would only make it worse, lowered his head and sacrificed to cover his ears: they didn't see me didn't see me, I didn't come to Bai Ye dressing room I didn't come to Bai Ye dressing room.......

After a full minute of chanting, a low chuckle suddenly came from the left.

Bai Ye's fist was pressed against his lips, and all the coldness around him melted away.

A few days ago, a stage accident had sent him through to this dimension, where unfamiliar people and things had exhausted him physically and mentally.

He looked at the red-faced teenager beside him, and for the first time since he'd worn in, he smiled from the bottom of his heart.
