Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Mr. Jiang was the biggest investor in this show and also the biggest investor in domestic variety shows. He had a considerable influence on TV stations and platforms.
He was not only the founder of Our Lives but also the founder of several popular variety shows in the country. He also cooperated with many businesses under his banner.
“You don’t have to tell them who I am.” Mr. Jiang had always kept a low profile. Actually, apart from the executive director, no one else at the event location knew him.
“Okay, got it.” The executive director understood that he was here to inspect some of the artistes here.
To put it bluntly, Mr. Jiang wanted to see which artistes were really qualified. In the future, he would deliberately guide and nurture them into partners.
After all, Mr. Jiang had a lot of resources. Whether it was a show or a business endorsement, he had to find a suitable person to take up these resources. “I’ll participate in the show as an ordinary person.”
“Okay, I’ll arrange it immediately.” The executive director had arranged for ordinary people to enter the show before and immediately asked his assistant to bring Mr. Jiang over.
Even the assistant thought that Mr. Jiang was an ordinary person. Although his attitude was polite, it was still very ordinary. “Just wait here. When an artiste comes later, we’ll see who you can work with. Whoever is willing to guide you will be with you.” “Alright.”
Mr. Jiang sat down.
Soon, an artiste came over.
The six permanent cast members were all here. Luo Lin was among them and was very outstanding.
He was a head taller than the others, tall, fair, and thin.
“Luo Lin, it’s time to test you today. You have to cook alone. The rest of us can’t help you much.”
“It’s okay. I can handle it.” Luo Lin was mentally prepared.
Mr. Jiang stood up and said, “Hello, everyone. I’m here to participate in the show.”
“What can you do?” one of the guests asked him.
“I can do anything. I’ll just follow your arrangements.”
“We’re going out. You won’t be able to fit in the car. Stay here and help Luo Lin.” The guest for the show today was very polite, but it was obvious that he didn’t want to let an ordinary person tag along.
If they were to be with ordinary people, their screen time would be affected. In such a popular show, everyone would rather be with a popular artiste.
If it weren’t for the rule that they couldn’t stay and help Luo Lin, everyone was willing to stay. Mr. Jiang nodded. “Okay.”
They all left.
Luo Lin smiled and said, “I’m Luo Lin. You can just call me by my name. May I know your name?” “My surname is Jiang.”
“Shall I call you Brother Jiang?”
Mr. Jiang looked to be in his early 40s. Luo Lin was just being polite.
“Okay.” Mr. Jiang followed Luo Lin in to prepare.
Luo Lin quickly came up with a plan. He thought of how much rice he needed to prepare and what dishes were suitable.
After he was ready, he handed a few tasks to Mr. Jiang. “Brother Jiang, can you help me deal with these?”
“Sure.”
Mr. Jiang observed him and realized that he was gentle and polite, but they were in front of the camera, after all. It was hard to come to a conclusion.
But overall, Luo Lin gave people a very good feeling.
As Luo Lin cut the vegetables, he asked, “Brother Jiang, do you eat spicy food? Garlic? Is there anything you don’t like?”
Mr. Jiang was finally satisfied with him.
To be able to consider an ordinary person’s preferences, Luo Lin’s meticulousness, consideration, and politeness could not be faked.
These details touched him the most.
After asking Mr. Jiang what he didn’t like to eat, Luo Lin noted all of them down.
“You took down so many things?” Mr. Jiang asked.
“Filming the show is hard work. We have to at least ensure that everyone can eat their fill.” Luo Lin was very empathetic and was willing to take care of everyone.
Mr. Jiang sighed again. This young man was indeed not bad.
Some people did not know much about life. Even if they wanted to pretend to take care of others, they didn’t know where to begin.
Luo Lin didn’t take it seriously. He didn’t look at the camera and just processed the ingredients in an orderly manner.
Mr. Jiang immediately took out his phone and sent a WeChat message to his assistant. [Didn’t we have an endorsement deal for a beverage previously?
Leave it for Luo Lin.]
[Mr. Jiang, didn’t you already give this endorsement deal to Luo Lin?]
Mr. Jiang was enlightened. [Okay, got it.]
It turned out that he had already given him resources.
This was good.
It seemed that Luo Lin had given him a good first impression from back then.
Although it was not a pleasant thing that Director Gao would be coming, Luo Lin was still serious about cooking a meal.
Soon, the other guests returned and received Director Gao.
Luo Lin brought the dishes to the table.
As soon as Director Gao sat down, he couldn’t help but say sarcastically, “Oh,
Luo Lin, in the previous production team, you used to bring tea leaves to make tea for me. Although the tea leaves didn’t taste good, I never refused. I didn’t expect that now that you’re famous, I’d still be able to drink tea and eat the duck you cooked. Hahahaha, this is rare. I thought you’d be like some people who turn hostile after becoming famous.”
His words were so sarcastic that the other guests at the event location could all tell. They tried to smooth things over and smiled in response.
Fortunately, this show would still go through post-production editing. Otherwise, who knew what would happen?
Director Gao had just sat down when he started again. “Did you stir-fry the peas with minced meat today? Oh my, I’m really sorry. I’ve never eaten this dish. Otherwise, I’d eat it to show my support for you.
“I remember that you even gave me your hometown’s secret spicy sauce back then. I gave it to a friend because I don’t eat spicy food… Hahahahaha.” Director Gao said. “I think there was something else that you gave me. I only finished it months later.”
Luo Lin stood up and said calmly, “Director Gao, if you’re not used to my cooking, there’s a small restaurant nearby. I’ll treat you there.”
In front of the camera, Luo Lin restrained himself.
He did not know how the production team would edit it and who they would side with, so he did not act rashly.
If self-discipline was his best quality, then forbearance was his second best quality.
Mr. Jiang sat at the side and heard Director Gao’s words clearly.
He didn’t know much about these things before, so he immediately asked his assistant to look into the conflict between Director Gao and Luo Lin for him to go through.
Soon, the assistant sorted out a rough document and came over.
Mr. Jiang took a look. Director Gao was a despicable person!
He wanted to ride on Luo Lin’s popularity, but he was extremely disrespectful. Now that Luo Lin had already moved on from past conflicts, he had the audacity to come and be sarcastic because of his resentment.
What did he take this show for?
