Chapter 242
Early the next morning, Shu Yi struggled to open her eyes, with someone knocking on her room's door persistently.
"Miss Shu, get up. The cameraman will be here soon." Yan Yan yelled from the doorway.
Shu Yi rubbed her eyes, got out of bed, put on slippers, and opened the door.
"The show team called, the cameraman will be shooting you soon, so you should get ready."
Yan Yan stepped into the room, while Shu Yi could barely keep her eyes open.
"Did you stay up late last night?" Yan Yan asked. She knew that Shu Yi must have had a sleepless night, but there was nothing she could do. Shu Yi and Chang Zhiyuan's relationship was too complicated - she had known that all along.
However, as an assistant, she's helpless. Emotions are between two people, marriage is between two families, so all problems have to be solved by oneself. Others are incapable of helping.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the cameraman, carrying his video camera, arrived at Shu Yi's place. Shu Yi was putting on her makeup, and Yan Yan opened the door for him.
The cameraman started filming the room right away. After a round of shooting, he finally caught Shu Yi during her makeup session.
Shu Yi deliberately delayed time until she received a call from the director, prompting her to get moving.
She didn't know how to deal with what was to come, she could only follow Shen Yin's advice, let things take their natural course and adapt as necessary.
When they arrived at the meeting point, Shu Yi took a look around - the guest had not arrived yet. That was when Shu Yi finally let out a sigh of relief.
The show team assigned tasks to them, and then waited for the guest.
Shu Yi hoped that time could slow down, that she could put off meeting this guest for a bit longer, but often, reality is contrary to one's wishes.
The only guest was Chang Zhiyuan. Shu Yi thought the show team had done it on purpose. Why had they invited him out of all the actors and singers they could have chosen?
"Welcome our guest, Chang Zhiyuan to join 'Let’s Start Together.' Applaud to welcome him."
This was said by an older actor, Jia Haojie. Jia Haojie was known for his upright character and good acting skills. He cared for the other guests and had always played the big brother's role in 'Let’s Start Together.'
"Welcome, welcome."
Aside from Shu Yi, the other guests were particularly welcoming to Chang Zhiyuan. After all, Chang Zhiyuan is a media tycoon. If they could establish a good relationship with him, they might have access to more resources in the future.
Chang Zhiyuan, being a social butterfly and a veteran in the entertainment circle, was skilled at navigating these situations.
"I'm delighted to be a guest on 'Let's Start Together.' You all might not be familiar with me, let me introduce myself. My name is Chang Zhiyuan. As for my representative works, there's only 'I Just Want To Be With You' so far."
The other guests laughed. How could he tell that they weren't familiar with him? Was it possible that they weren't familiar before, but ever since he made that call, they've become too familiar?
"What's so funny? What are you all laughing about?" Chang Zhiyuan asked.
"We're laughing because our guest is quite humorous."
Chang Zhiyuan ran his fingers through his hair, his eyes occasionally glancing at Shu Yi who pretended not to notice.
"Our tasks have already been assigned. So, next up our flying guests will draw lots to select their own tasks. The rule is to draw a task card from my hand, each card corresponds to one of our regular guests. Let's see how lucky our flying guests are and who they end up paired with at the end."
The host took five task cards from his hand and walked towards Chang Zhiyuan.
"Zhiyuan, before you draw a task card, we want to ask, who would you like to be paired with?"
The guests on site were also looking forward to this answer. The show's crew had already done a fantastic job by inviting Chang Zhiyuan, and now they were asking such an exciting question.
Everyone had thought that Chang Zhiyuan’s answer would have been the expected Shu Yi. But to their surprise, Chang Zhiyuan’s answer was "Jia Haojie."
"Wow, it's our brother Haojie. Zhiyuan, can you explain why you want to team up with Haojie?"
"Because I feel like Brother Haojie is capable of doing anything. Being on his team gives me a sense of security."
"Ha ha ha ha ha. Now, let's invite our Mr. Chang to start drawing. Destiny is predestined, let's see who he will end up with."
As destiny would have it, Chang Zhiyuan looked at the task card he had drawn with a secret delight.
After three days, the latest episode of "Let's set off together" finally ended.
Shu Yi went home once again, dragging her weary body.
Shen Yin also got busy with the restaurant. She visited the restaurant that Chen Siming mentioned.
It was a four-story building, which Shen Yin was very pleased with. It wasn’t the size of the restaurant or the height that made it well known, it was the aesthetic of the building that satisfied Shen Yin.
A little renovation on the straightforward design and it would give off the same vibe as the Grand Restaurant. Shen Yin, accompanied by Zhengzheng, checked every floor and made some suggestions for the exterior before leaving.
Chen Siming transformed the exterior of the building based on Shen Yin's suggestions. Following the blueprints that Shen Yin sent later, it was redecorated. The renovation surprisingly attracted many people to come and take photos.
The restaurant's name, written personally by Shen Yin, was "Qingfan Tower."
The three-story building was not only high-end but also boasted a very "bold" exterior. A towering celebratory arch was set up in front of the door, as high as the tower itself.
The interior decoration would take some time, but Shen Yin was not in a hurry. She believed in finely crafted work and aesthetic beauty. The restaurant had to be distinctive enough to attract customers.
In a blink of an eye, a week had passed. The latest episode of "Let's Set Off Together," which included Chang Zhiyuan's guest appearance, went on air on the Tomato Platform.
The trailer released two days before airing featured Chang Zhiyuan drawing task cards and even the brief trailer was trending on Weibo.
You can't even begin to imagine how high the anticipations of the audience were for this particular episode. The program team made a special adjustment to the broadcast time. Originally intended for Sunday evening, considering that everyone has to go to work the next morning, they advanced it to Saturday night.
At the very beginning of the show, the barrage of comments on screen was completely dominated by the fans of the Chang Zhiyuan and Shu Yi coupling.
[Finally, the moment we've been waiting for!]
[I'm totally convinced that my shipped couple is the real deal!]
[I declare that this variety show will be my all-time favorite from now on.]
[If they end up married one day, they absolutely have to invite the whole production crew.]
[It's starting, it's starting!]
With the end of the commercials, the army of screenshotted comments surged again.
Shu Yi first appeared in her room. The cameraman, upon entering, inadvertently captured Shu Yi in her natural, makeup-free look.
