Talent Survival Show (2)
Afterward, someone asked:
[How’s the poster doing? How’s the meeting with the parents going?]
Bai Qi was slightly embarrassed to reply and felt the phone scalded his hand when a caller ID popped up.
The number was unfamiliar.
Bai Qi froze before picking it up, “Hello.”
An excited voice that was hard to suppress came from the other end. “I, I’m Frank. Do, do you remember me? I’m so sorry about last time. I wonder, can I still come and see you? I want to thank you, I really do.”
The youth’s voice held a little imperceptible choke.
He said, “Thank you for bringing me luck. Obviously, it was my mistake that brought you great trouble. But…… it has brought me opportunities. I got a call from a Chinese program the other day, and they said they were going to invite me to a variety show and that having a face would be enough. My followers on Twitter said it might be a scam, but I still didn’t want to miss the opportunity, and it might be the closest I’ll ever get to my hometown.”
Frank was probably afraid he’d hang up, so he spoke everything in one breath.
Actually, for the sake of Xi-laoshi’s mood, Bai Qi should have distanced himself from him.
But he suddenly thought of Little Ye.
Could Xi-laoshi’s Little Ye have had moments of such uncertainty and helplessness?
It would be best if Xi-laoshi’s Little Ye could be found as soon as possible by helping someone in the same boat.
“Bai Qi?” The person on the other end paused and called his name in a small voice.
Bai Qi: “You can. When’s your flight?”
“I…… am already in the capital city,” He whispered.
His tone was uncertain as he asked, “Can you tell me your address? I’ll just come and find you. Or…… Or, when I find that program crew, will you come to see me?”
For Frank, Bai Qi, who was even a bit familiar, seemed to be all that was left to rely on in a completely unfamiliar country.
Bai Qi hesitated for a moment and gave him the address.
“Shall I pick you up?”
“No, no need. No need to trouble you.” Frank took a deep breath, “I like talking to people here, even if it’s just asking for directions. It makes me feel close. Don’t worry; I’ve been learning Chinese for a long time.”
Bai Qi smiled, “Mm.”
After hanging up the phone on this side.
Over there, Shang Guang called again.
Bai Qi asked in a low voice, “Did you find the original copy?”
“…… No.” When Shang Guang heard Bai Qi’s voice, he suddenly felt even more ashamed, and his voice lowered as he said, “Didn’t you and Xi-ge reject a program recording recently? Then a TV station wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to ask you to help stir up the heat.”
Bai Qi almost thought he heard wrong. “Me?”
Shang Guang: “Yes, without Xi-ge. You were the only one invited.” He was slightly hesitant, “In this situation now, I don’t know if you should make an appearance or not.”
Xi Chengyun was as calm as ever and spoke lightly, “If you’ve done something, you’re bound to leave traces. Exposure is never a scary thing. We have long done several rehearsals for this, haven’t we?”
He said, “Those with evil intentions should be afraid, not Qi Qi.”
“What show?” Bai Qi asked.
Shang Guang whispered, “A talent survival show.”
Bai Qi was shocked. “What’s that got to do with me?”
Shang Guang said embarrassedly, “Have you forgotten? You are now a famous walking idol appraisal machine in the circle. If you praise someone, it means that person looks good and will definitely be popular. I’ve heard that a few have already bought the script and fixed their names. The company behind it is now counting on you to open your golden mouth. The opening price is up to seven million.”
Bai Qi:?
Bai Qi: “Shang-ge, I won’t do anything against my conscience.”
Shang Guang: “They look good but a little useless on stage.”
Since Xi-ge had approved, Shang Guang desperately tried to make Bai Qi earn more money to make up for the guilt in his heart.
Shang Guang said in his heart: ‘I’m sorry, Xi-ge.’
He cleared his throat. “The program crew has also invited many foreign, beautiful young men of different styles. Then, that seven million is an offer from a company. Another company quoted five million. Another quoted eight million and gave a luxury honeymoon from their head office. Why don’t you pick one?”
Bai Qi: “Actually, I don’t have much on my conscience.”
