Chapter 88: Chapter 088: Lifestyle Variety Show Chapter 88: Chapter 088: Lifestyle Variety Show The next morning when Shen Yan got up, she only saw Liu Su who had taken leave to go home, but Qi Si was nowhere to be seen.

Liu Su explained, “Sir had some urgent business out of Shen City, and it might take him a while to come back.”

“Did he go abroad again?” Shen Yan remembered the hurried figure leaving last night and, after a slight pause, asked, “Did something happen?”

Hearing Shen Yan’s concern for Qi Si, Liu Su almost grinned, “Nothing major, just some issues at the company.”

In fact, Qi Heng had personally come to Shen City, followed by Song Jinwei, and fearing trouble, Qi Si had to appear in person to intercept them.

Liu Su didn’t tell Shen Yan about this.

Originally, Liu Su wanted to use this situation to garner some sympathy for Qi Si, but Qi Si seemed to have seen through his intentions and had warned him in advance not to mention the Qi Family matters in front of Shen Yan.

Liu Su was quite regretful.

A girl’s heart is easily softened.

If he had told Shen Yan about these matters, she would definitely have a different view of Qi Si.

It wouldn’t have reached the point where even after getting married, they still faced each other coldly.

Liu Su did not want to see a picture of the two respecting each other like guests after marriage.

On the way to the school, Liu Su brought out a few selected notices, “I looked at those advertisements, all food-related, with not so good brands. We even sent someone to their food factory and analyzed the situation and found that there were some significant issues with their products. Although it’s not directly related to the celebrities when issues arise, it could still damage their image.”

“So, after elimination, there isn’t a single one we could take,” Liu Su did his job thoroughly, “However, there is a lifestyle variety show that Miss Shen could participate in.”

“Lifestyle variety show?”

“It’s much safer than a survival show; it just involves doing some simple farm work in a village.”

“Who is the director?” Shen Yan asked casually.

“Director Du.”

Shen Yan: “Isn’t Director Du known for shooting romance shows? Did his romance show get canceled?”

Liu Su cleared his throat, “Director Du has had some bad luck. Xu Zishen was involved in his romance show when the incident happened, and then the permanent guest Tao Rong also got exposed with some major scandals, so his romance show couldn’t continue.”

Shen Yan nodded, “I can try it out for one episode.”

“Then I’ll discuss the contract issues with Director Du on this end, and once that’s settled, Miss Shen can request leave from school.”

There wouldn’t be a problem on Shen Yan’s end; she could work on her school projects from anywhere.

In Liu Su’s view, shooting a variety show was much better than shooting those emotional dramas.

Recently, Shen Yan’s live-streamed teaching had significantly increased her popularity.

Unlike her previous research topics, her recent teachings were widely accepted and attracted more traffic.

Seizing the opportunity while the iron was hot, Liu Su wanted Shen Yan to appear in front of the public again to maintain another wave of popularity.

*

A few days later, Liu Su finalized the contract and informed Shen Yan, who then requested a week off from school.

This lifestyle variety show by Director Du would last for seven days.

And the shooting location was in Shen City!

Right in the rural areas of Shen City.

Shen City was indeed a bustling metropolis, but it also had its rural areas.

This part of Shen City belongs to the Jiangnan region.

Recording this kind of rural lifestyle variety show was very fitting.

No need to take a flight; even driving there would take several hours.

Xiao Zhao prepared a soft pillow for Shen Yan, looking forward to it, “I wonder who the guests will be this time.”

“The guests going with Director Du include the three who were permanent on the previous romance show, and the others, Miss Shen knows too.”

“Hope it’s not the same old faces again,” Shen Yan said with a smile.

Liu Su shook his head, “Director Du also kept me guessing, but from what he said, it seems it will be the familiar faces.”

Shen Yan wasn’t particularly interested in the guests participating.

No matter who it was, it had no effect on her.

Bisha Town in the suburban district, Zhuyu Village.

Having just entered the village, Shen Yan personally appeared in front of the camera at the entrance of the village, pushing her luggage. Waiting at the village entrance to greet her, Song Xuan saw her and smiled, “Shen Yan, I’m here to pick you up!”

“Mr. Song, we meet again.”

“Yes, we get to record a show together again! How was the journey? Are you tired? Everyone is already here, and we’ve prepared tea waiting for you to come!”

Song Xuan took the suitcase from Shen Yan, pushing it as they walked into the village.

Looking ahead, Shen Yan saw concrete roads flanked by fields of ripe rice.

It was now the end of November, a time for harvesting the late-season rice.

Shen Yan guessed that this lifestyle variety show might well revolve around rice harvesting.

Is it really appropriate for celebrities to harvest rice?

Having participated in survival shows before, Shen Yan knew how frail these stars could be.

Harvesting rice was not to be taken lightly.

Since it was a recording, there would surely be people hired to handle that part.

Following Song Xuan, Shen Yan entered where they were staying, and the scenery of Jiangnan was delightful!

At the moment, everyone was gathered in a small courtyard with a trestle, boiling tea. Seeing Shen Yan, the first to stand up and greet her was an old friend, Wen Yan!

“Shen Yan!” Wen Yan hurriedly walked up and took the suitcase from Song Xuan’s hand. “I’ll take Shen Yan’s luggage upstairs!”

They were staying in a two-story building, with male guests on one side and female guests on the other.

Shen Yan wanted to say no need, but Wen Yan had already grabbed her luggage and headed upstairs.

“Shen Yan, go check out your room and then come down to join us for some tea!” smiled Song Xuan as he patted her shoulder.

Shen Yan looked at the circle of guests around her and was surprised to see Xie Xuan.

Xie Xuan stood there, giving Shen Yan a slight nod.

He had also wanted to go help with the luggage, but Wen Yan had beaten him to it.

Shen Yan nodded in acknowledgment and then followed Wen Yan.

Four female guests, four male guests.

All familiar faces to Shen Yan.

“Knowing you were coming, we were all very happy!” Wen Yan delivered the luggage to the last room down the corridor, stepping out with a smile and extending his hand to Shen Yan. “I’m pleased to work with you again!”

Shen Yan shook his hand briefly and then withdrew hers. “I’m happy too.”

“Do you want to freshen up?”

“No need.”

“Then let’s go. Everyone is discussing how to solve dinner. It’s pretty similar to the survival show rules; we need to help the villagers work in return for food. If we do well, we can trade with the villagers for ingredients.”

Shen Yan was already clear about the rules before arriving.

The two headed to the courtyard, where Qin Dingyue ran over smiling and took Shen Yan’s arm. “Yanyan, sit next to me!”

Shen Yan greeted Li Xu and others, sitting down next to Qin Dingyue.

Director Du saw that everyone had arrived and stepped forward to announce the rules.

“I know all of you are tired from traveling today by car and plane, but I still need to remind you that tonight’s dinner requires labor in exchange for ingredients! Do you see that sweet potato field up ahead?”

As Director Du spoke, everyone looked in the direction he pointed.

“Director Du, it’s just digging up sweet potatoes, that’s easy!” Qin Dingyue exclaimed impatiently, “Director Du, can we start now?”

Otherwise, it’d just waste more time.

“The production crew can only provide you with temporary accommodation and an empty stove. You must gather the firewood for cooking yourselves, no appliances will be provided. I hope everyone does their best!”

After finishing his words, Director Du sat comfortably on a lounge chair.

The accompanying PDs prepared for their respective tasks.

The live broadcasting method was like that of “Survival on a Desert Island.”
