Chapter 359: The male protagonist of this soul-swap story is quite rebellious.
Yun Qing was only stunned for a moment before the cameraman swiftly shoved the lens in.
Yun Qing: !!!
Her first reaction was to snatch the phone back immediately, but she quickly realized, what's wrong with her sending a kiss emoji to her boyfriend?
It won't lead to social death.
They can just announce it officially! Her boyfriend isn't someone to be ashamed of.
So she simply picked up her phone slowly and with an aloof expression, waiting for someone to ask her questions.
[The emojis Song Yunqing uses are actually so cute!]
[Not only that, she even sent kisses, hugs, and piggyback rides! This woman's arrogant image is gone forever.]
[Don't rub salt in the wound! Look at my sister Song, still struggling to maintain her aloof persona, can you bear to see her like this?]
Then, amidst the laughter, someone couldn't help but ask a question.
Aren't you all curious about who Song Yunqing is texting? Who is this "hehe"? All that kissing and hugging, could it be her boyfriend?
[Definitely not! Look at Song Yunqing's calm demeanor; she's most likely her best friend.]
[If their secret relationship were suddenly exposed, she would definitely panic, she wouldn't be so calm.]
A group of netizens took out magnifying glasses and observed very carefully, and then came to a... wrong answer.
As for the scene, Ye Feifei saw that Yun Qing's phone screen had been photographed and instantly realized that she had caused trouble.
In particular, when she glanced at it, she saw a round, pink pig holding down a very cute little dinosaur and kissing it wildly. The little dinosaur was covered in lip prints from the kisses, biting its paws, with tears in its eyes, looking like it was being given whatever it wanted.
Three very vivid words instantly popped into her mind—"I'll make you cry!"
Before she could even marvel at their remarkable interracial romance, she noticed other guests looking curious and about to ask something, so she quickly interrupted, "It seems like other guests have arrived."
Upon hearing this, everyone else looked towards the main entrance.
Ye Feifei glanced at Yun Qing, but couldn't glean anything from her aloof expression.
She felt a pang of annoyance; if she weren't still live-streaming, she would have slapped herself in the face.
If Song Yunqing's relationship were to be exposed because of her shout, she would be truly to blame.
If things go well afterward and the official announcement goes smoothly, that's fine. But if things go wrong and Song Yunqing's career is affected, then that would be a fatal enmity.
She was even more anxious than Yun Qing, and couldn't help but take out her phone to check the situation.
Huh? It's your best friend?
She glanced at Yun Qing again; no wonder she was so calm.
Ye Feifei secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Yun Qing, who was ready to officially announce her boyfriend: ...Nobody even asked her this?
This production team really doesn't know how to stir things up!
The new guest, Ling Xiao, is a young actor who transitioned from modeling. He has played a supporting role that garnered him some fame and is known for his "puppy-like" persona.
He had just finished introducing himself when the last guest arrived.
Lin Xinrou, a rising star, is gentle and has commendable acting skills. Her previous role made her an instant hit, and her popularity hasn't waned yet.
She greeted everyone gently, lingered on Yun Qing for a moment longer, and then sat down next to Ye Feifei.
After all the guests arrived, a member of the production team stepped forward and said, "Welcome to this episode of Celebrity Career Challenge."
"As you all know, in previous episodes of our show, we would choose a profession and then all the guests would pursue that profession."
"We've made some changes this time. The production team has prepared two professions, and guests who draw the same profession will be grouped together. Both professions involve working at this hotel."
"The production team will calculate the workload, customer satisfaction, and live stream popularity of each group of guests every hour, and then compare the data of the two groups. The winning group will occupy at least 40 minutes of screen time in the main live stream room in the next hour."
The staff member paused here to give the guests time to react.
Since the guests are participating in the variety show, they naturally want more screen time, to be seen by more viewers, and to gain more fans.
Although they have their own dedicated live streaming rooms, viewers who are not fans usually choose to watch the main live streaming room unless something eye-catching happens, in which case they will go to the guest's individual live streaming room to watch the excitement.
If the winning team gets 40 minutes of screen time, then the losing team only gets 20 minutes, and that has to be split among three people, so how many minutes of screen time does each person get?
Moreover, the staff said it would be at least forty minutes, which means that if the winning group of guests has any outstanding performances, they might get even more screen time!
The guests immediately became competitive.
The staff member then continued, "Finally, we will determine the final winning group, which will occupy two-thirds of the runtime in the later edited version."
"Now, please draw your professions."
Yun Qing doesn't care much about screen time. Although she enjoys acting, she doesn't have a strong desire to become famous.
She just hoped that this time she wouldn't attract any more negative attention, otherwise Sister Xia would nag her again.
Then she drew the chef's name on her first draw.
Yun Qing: !!!
They want her to be a chef at a fancy hotel? Are the production team serious?
Yun Qing felt that if life had a script, she would definitely not be the female lead, otherwise she would have just drawn the role she was good at, with all sorts of highlights, making the audience look at her with new eyes.
Instead of being so unlucky as to draw a card you have absolutely no chance of getting.
Now look what's happened; it's impossible for them not to be criticized.
This episode is competitive, and if she underperforms, the guests in her group will be affected, so it's no wonder they get criticized.
Let me see which two unlucky guys are in my group?
The unlucky Ling Xiao and Lin Xinrou didn't find it too difficult after drawing the chef profession.
They all have some cooking skills, although they certainly can't compare to hotel chefs, but they're not completely unable to handle the task.
The other group of guests were room attendants.
After drawing their professions, the guests were ready to begin their work.
Yun Qing and the other two were led toward the kitchen.
On the way, they coincidentally ran into General Manager He, who was on his way to inspect the kitchen.
Yun Qing glanced at him, then looked down at her phone. [Help! I can't cook!]
He Chengyi's phone rang. He casually took it out, glanced at it, and replied: "I'll try to teach you something simple."
Aren't you busy?
[I'm inspecting today, so it's not too busy. Put on your headphones, and I'll tell you what to do later.]
[Okay. Love you. jpg.]
He Chengyi smiled, which startled the hotel manager who was accompanying him.
He constantly reflected on whether he had said anything wrong, which made President He laugh in exasperation.
Lin Xu shook his head inwardly. This manager didn't seem very bright. He was probably frightened by President He's sudden personal inspection and the thoroughness of it.
In reality, Mr. He was simply following in his wife's footsteps.
Assistant Lin had a sense of superiority, as if he were the only one who was sober while everyone else was drunk.
He looked at the anxious hotel manager with pity and kindly said, "Manager Wang, aren't you going to the kitchen? I think the crew from that show is going too. It just so happens that President He wants to see if those celebrity guests who come to work here are reliable."
Wasn't his hint obvious enough? President He wants to see celebrity guests! Hurry up and go after him so he can see them!
Ideally, there would be an opportunity for close contact; that would surely make President He very happy.
Then He Chengyi gave him a stare.
Lin Xu: ...
He calmly added, "It should be pretty reliable."
The boss lady can't be unreliable!
