Serve as Contrast Team in a ‘Dad with Baby’ Show

Chapter 14,Part 1: — Shifting The Blame

Sensing Lin Cheng’s approach, Lin Momo shrank her neck like a turtle.

“Umm, I…” Lin Momo opened her mouth, just about to explain—

But Lin Cheng said, “Stay here, don’t run.”

He continued inside with the boss of the recycling station.

……

When Lin Cheng came out again after changing the gas tank, Lin Momo was still obediently standing by the door of the recycling station.

Seeing Lin Cheng coming out, Lin Momo unconsciously straightened up in an ‘attention!’ posture.

From the side, the owner of the recycling station looked at Lin Cheng and then at Lin Momo with a strange expression on his face.

“You know each other?” the boss asked.

“Yes…” Lin Momo nodded and whispered, “This is my father.”

Hearing Lin Momo’s explanation, the boss understood the strange scene.

“I see. So you are father and daughter.”

After saying this, the boss looked at Lin Cheng and suddenly frowned. His voice held a hint of accusation. “You are already an adult, why do you let such a small child sell scrap materials by herself?”

“That’s right ah! Let’s not even say how hard it is to drag such a large pile of things, but the traffic on this road is so dangerous,” the boss lady also echoed.

Although the ‘condemnation’ of the two was out of good intentions, they really wronged Lin Cheng in this matter.

Lin Momo looked up at Lin Cheng with a guilty conscience.

“No—” Lin Momo was about to explain, but was interrupted by Lin Cheng.

“Thank you for the reminder, I will pay attention to it in the future.” Although Lin Cheng’s expression was not very good, he did not refute the words of the boss and boss lady.

Seeing that Lin Cheng had a good attitude of admitting his mistakes, the boss and his wife reluctantly nodded.

“No matter how hard it is, you can’t let your child suffer. Since she is your own child, you should take good care of her.”

“En.” Lin Cheng replied again, then took Lin Momo and left.

… …

It wasn’t until they had walked out of the waste station that Lin Cheng lowered his head to look Lin Momo who was trotting along beside him. He stopped.

The little girl stopped too, her face full of tension and anxiety.

Seeing this, the expression on Lin Cheng’s face loosened a bit, but he still asked Lin Momo seriously, “What are you doing here?”

“Here to sell scrap, “Lin Momo whispered. She hesitated for a few seconds before adding, “The price here is higher.”

Saying this, Lin Momo handed the tightly held 12 yuan and 5 jiao to Lin Cheng.

Minus the part that was owed to old lady Zhang, this was the money she earned today.

Looking at the light in the little girl’s eyes and the sweaty ball of change in his hand, Lin Cheng felt a faint trace of something vague in his heart. The harsh words he had prepared could not find a starting point.

In the end, Lin Cheng only helplessly stepped back and said “Let’s go,” without scolding Lin Momo.

… …

The barrage in the livestream channel became lively.

[That’s all?]

[I thought Dad would scold his daughter since he’s so fierce.]

[It could also be the calm before the storm.]

……

The truth was, Lin Cheng thought that this was not his child, so he didn’t have the right to scold her.

Lin Cheng took Lin Momo to the electric tricycle he used to move LPG tanks, parked right outside the alley, and put the small trailer she brought into the cargo bed of the tricycle.

Seeing that Lin Momo was still standing behind him, Lin Cheng said, “Come up.”

“Oh, okay.” Lin Momo, who was guilty of being ‘deceitful’, didn’t dare to ask questions. She quickly climbed onto the tricycle cargo bed and sat quietly in the corner.

The LPG can that was sent to the scrap yard just now happened to be the last one in Lin Cheng’s tricycle.

Although today’s scheduled tasks were not completed, Lin Cheng did not return to the LPG distribution station anymore, but took Lin Momo directly back to their residence.

Along the way, the ‘father and daughter’ did not exchange a single word.

… …

On the other hand, in the main office of the program team, the chief director stared at the livestream raw feed with furrowed brows.

“I remember Lin Cheng didn’t seem to have this scene in the script at this time, did he?” The chief director asked the other people in the office.

“He doesn’t,” said the team leader assigned to Lin Cheng’s team. “This scene should be their own behavior.” After a pause, the team leader added, “According to the feedback from the on-site recording team, it should just be a coincidence that Lin Cheng and his daughter met.”

“Coincidence?” Hearing this, the chief director stared at the livestream with an inscrutable expression and sneered. “His luck is quite good.”

As the show’s contrast team, Lin Cheng and his daughter did not have any ‘exciting’ plots prepared for them in advance.

Unexpectedly, after the free play of the two, the popularity in the livestream channel has more than doubled, and the number of real online viewers has directly increased from less than 30,000 to over 40,000.

However, compared to the popularity of the other dad-and-baby teams, the number of viewers in Lin Cheng’s livestream channel was still pitifully small.

The chief director didn’t care about this matter anymore, waved his hand indifferently, and said, “Let’s do it like this, next time there is a similar scenario forming, let the people on the scene report it in time.”

Hearing the chief director’s words, the team leader showed embarrassment. He hesitated to speak.

“Any other matters?” the chief director asked.

“There is a rather troublesome situation,” the team leader paused, and then said, “Now there are many viewers in the livestream channel who are cursing our program team.”

The chief director’s face turned black “Cursing the program group?”

“Yes, and there’s been a lot of scolding—you’d better watch it for yourself.” While speaking, the staff member used his mobile phone to call up the screen of the front-end livestream channel and handed it to the chief director.

The chief director’s eyes fell on the screen.

At this time, except for a few comments discussing whether Lin Momo would be spanked by Lin Cheng, the rest of the barrage was almost all scolding the program team.

[If this is a script, isn’t it too much? ]

[For the sake of the program effect, it’s too disgusting for the program group to let a child walk so far. ]

[The program team is too shameless. ]

[Boycott the program group! ]
