Very Happy Chapter Ch73.1 - Winning Gift

Chapter Ch73.1 - Winning Gift

TL Note: Funny thing is that Zijia Entertainment actually means Purple Eggplant. I have been using the pinyin for it but in keeping with the naming style of the novel, I will now change it to Purple Eggplant Entertainment.

“Every weekend, the volunteer brothers and sisters will teach us how to draw, play games and make paper cutouts.” Li Zhao spoke about life in the welfare home without any grievances. “The dean was particularly powerful. Not only could he write beautiful characters, he could also play the panxiao.”

The LI fans watching the live broadcast remembered how Zhao Zhao had performed the panxiao for a TV program during the broadcast of Overbearing Female President. At that time, he said the dean taught him but they didn’t think it was the dean of a welfare home.

It was ridiculous that not long ago, there were marketing accounts saying that Zhao Zhao was pretending to be rich. Zhao Zhao had always said he was poor and even the house he was staying in was borrowed from a friend, but these black marketing accounts didn’t want to let him go.

“After I lived in the welfare home, many people wrote to me and sent me greeting cards. The kind-hearted people were worried that I couldn’t understand complicated Chinese characters so they drew me cute chibi people.” Li Zhao’s eyes were red but his mouth was raised in a smile. I really feel that the world is beautiful, there are too many beautiful things.”

“I have read all the comments you left me. Please rest a.s.sured here.” He looked at the camera. “The past is over. At that time, I was very lucky and was protected by countless well-meaning people. So don’t worry that I will be sad about these things.”

The happier Li Zhao smiled, the more pained the Li fans became.

“Silly Zhao Zhao, being so happy just because of two chicken drumsticks. I thought that chicken drumsticks weren’t great as a child.”

“The baby is so foolish that it is painful, painful.”

“He must be afraid that we’re worried so he went to this live talk show. Zhao Zhao, in fact, I wanted to thank you for the joy you brought me.”

“I finally understand why Zhao Zhao would stand up to clarify for Song Yu when everyone was blackening him. Song Yu prepared good food for Zhao Zhao every day. For Zhao Zhao, as long as a person is a bit good to him, they are a good person.”

“The more the sisters upstairs speaks, the sadder I am. My baby, he must have a happy life in the future and don’t be wronged.”

The live talk continued.

The host asked, “From Overbearing Female President to Seclusion Mountain Forest, you are becoming more and more loved by the viewers. Does this have any impact on your life?”

“I am receiving more jobs and the number of people who care about me is higher.” Li Zhao laughed. “If I send a Weibo post at midnight, there will certainly be many fans telling me to go to bed early and to not stay up all night, although they themselves are awake.”

“Staying up late is a big problem for many young people right now. Do you usually stay up late?”

“I go to bed early apart from when I shoot night scenes.”

“There are no other entertainment activities at night?”

“This&#k2026;” Li Zhao laughed. “Everyone knows that the consumption level of Beijing is quite high. Going out at night to play costs a lot of money.

The Li fans, who had been feeling sad for Li Zhao, were now amused. Indeed, being poor was the biggest problem.

The host hadn’t expected such an answer. She thought Li Zhao would say something like he didn’t like to go out to play or his life was very regular. She didn’t expect it to be because of money.

“Ah…” The host was stunned. “Then what do you usually do when you aren’t filming?”

“I just stay at home at watch TV, harm the flowers in a friend’s garden, cook hot pot with my friends, read scripts and so on.” Li Zhao asked the host, “Does this type of life seem boring?”

“It’s good.” The host laughed. “It seems that your hair is so thick because you sleep on time.”

“Poverty is the key.” Li Zhao scratched his head. “Having no money means you aren’t in the mood to go out and play.”

The host was silent for a moment. “Now that you have many job opportunities, your living conditions must be better.”

“It really is much better.” Li Zhao nodded. “But it isn’t because I made money. It is because my friend thinks I’m too miserable and often takes me to his house to eat.”

“Is it the friend who leant you the jewellery worth several suites?” The host was very interested in Li Zhao’s local tyrant friend.

“I really don’t know if it is worth a few suites. In any case, I quickly returned the jewellery when I went back that evening.” Li Zhao laughed.

“Were you afraid of losing it?”

“No, I was afraid that if I wore it for a long time, he would give it to me.” Li Zhao explained, “My friend usually has a boring character and doesn’t value money at all. As you know, I’m poor. This means I’ve struggled to prevent him from sending me things.”

“Oh my G.o.d, I can’t even dream about having such a good friend.” The host spoke in an exaggerated manner. “I would love to have this type of trouble.”

In the barrage area, the netizens also said they needed such trouble.”

“Don’t make fun f him. My friend is somewhat shy and doesn’t know the entertainment buzzwords. I’m worried that he is watching this livestream right now.”

Who would’ve thought the barrage would become even more severe as the netizens asked the local tyrant friend to show himself. Yan Ting, who was watching the live broadcast, saw these words influence his ability to watch Li Zhao and ruthlessly blocked the barrage.

“It can be seen that you have a very good relations.h.i.+p with this friend.”

“Of course, we can be counted as good friends wearing the same pants.”

CP fans: It isn’t only good friends wearing the same pants but also…

Pure fans: My family’s Zhao Zhao is amazing to have such a good friend.

After the live broadcast ended, Li Zhao said goodbye to the staff and the host sent Li Zhao to the door. “Zhao Zhao, you’re welcome to be a guest in the next live broadcast.”

“Thank you.” Li Zhao thanked the host politely before getting in the car and leaving.

“Sister, the number of online viewers in our live broadcast room has set a record.” The director walked behind the host and whispered. “In addition, a large number of them are new viewers. They were all here for Li Zhao.”

The host watched the car disappear and turned to the director. “Li Zhao and Overbearing Female President have earned enough attention for Green Pepper Video. His partic.i.p.ation in the New Year party also helped us earn a lot of heat. This time, he chose to cooperate with us.”

The director laughed. “The day after tomorrow is Green Pepper’s Happy Night. Will Li Zhao come?”

“He should.” The host spoke softly, “The other day, didn’t Purple Eggplant Entertainment sent a message saying that they wanted Xu Bei to go in front of Li Zhao?”

“This…” The director shook his head. “I’m not sure.”

“Xu Bei partic.i.p.ated in an audition show and didn’t even enter the debut team. He doesn’t have any works so s there a reason for him to go before Li Zhao?” The host raised her eyebrows. “We must do things according to the rules. Are newcomers so ignorant? They have no one in their eyes once they become a bit famous.”

The host had a very high status in Green Pepper Entertainment. If she said this then others who wanted to move Xu Bei’s red carpet position forward couldn’t do anything.

Thanks to the development of the Internet, the parties hosted by multimedia video platforms received more and more attention from celebrities, especially those who have just become popular. If they weren’t invited then they would be ridiculed by fans of other artists.

Li Zhao hadn’t intended to partic.i.p.ate in the Happy Night of Green Pepper Entertainment but fans were all looking forward to him walking the red carpet. His team also suggested that he partic.i.p.ate so he had to agree.

He couldn’t let his fans worry about him.

The styling team and clothing were ready. Once the housekeeper uncle heard Li Zhao was going to appear on the red carpet, he excitedly pulled Li Zhao to choose jewellery. Even Cangs.h.i.+ sent him a new limited-edition watch. Everyone was looking forward to his appearance on the red carpet.

On the night of the red carpet, every fan held up a lantern to support their artist. The media had long occupied their positions and fas.h.i.+on bloggers had their eyes wide open, staring at the live broadcast screens as they waited for the outfits of the entertainers.

After getting the final red carpet list, Xu Bei’s expression was very ugly. He touched his diamond collar and suppressed the anger in his heart. What exactly did Green Pepper Video mean, deliberately letting a group walk in front of him?

This team was the one formed from the audition program Xu Bei partic.i.p.ated in. He didn’t have a good relations.h.i.+p with any of them members in the group so letting them walk in front of him was simply a needle in his heart.

The thing that made him even angrier was that even though Li Zhao was walking in front of him, why was that Song Yu walking in front of him as well? The last time he recorded the program, he was very unhappy with Song Yu. The entire program group saw that Song Yu didn’t like him but Xu Bei could only tolerate Song Yu’s provocation again and again for the sake of his gentle person image. This was despite the fact that in his heart, he already wished to beat Song Yu to the ground.

The red carpet started with the first-tier big names and then the artists who were currently popular. Once it was Li Zhao’s turn, the Li fans present cheered.

“Zhao Zhao, come on!”

“Zhao Zhao, rest a.s.sured that the Li fans will always accompany you.”

“Zhao Zhao, charge straight forward.”

Li Zhao smiled and waved to them. There was the constant sound of camera shutters at the scene.

The fas.h.i.+on bloggers had already moved their fingers and searched for the clothes and accessories on Li Zhao’s body.

Sure enough, the watch was a limited edition Cangs.h.i.+ watch, the clothing was the latest model from A House and the accessories weren’t yet known. However, since the person who mocked Li Zhao last time was. .h.i.t hard, this time no one ridiculed Li Zhao for wearing fakes. They just reflected that their knowledge wasn’t wide enough to recognize Li Zhao’s accessories.

After walking the red carpet, Li Zhao went o find his seat. His seat was in the first row of Area B. As he sat down, he looked up at a chair with the nameplate Xu Bei on it. Xu Bei? Li Zhao’s eyebrows raised slightly as he took his seat.

The artists gradually entered, followed by some fans and media people with tickets. Li Zhao was bowing his head and playing with his mobile phone when a hand stretched out from behind him. “Senior Li, h.e.l.lo. I am Xu Bei.”

“Were you in last year’s audition program?” Li Zhao looked at Xu Bei’s outstretched hand. “It seems that we debuted in the same you. I can’t afford for you to call me Senior.”

The smile on Xu Bei’s face was slightly stiff. Last year, he failed to make his debut on the audition program. Later, he signed with Purple Eggplant Entertainment and barely made his debut. What did Li Zhao mean?

“How can that be? During the time when Senior Li was running around the crews as subst.i.tutes, I was still studying at university.“ Xu Bei sneered. “There is a sequence so I deserve to call you a senior.”

“It turned out to be like this.” Li Zhao smiled and nodded. “h.e.l.lo junior, you’re well-behaved.”

Xu Bei, “……”

He dared to call Xu Bei this way? Li Zhao even answered with impudence?

His heart was clogged. Who said that Li Zhao was simple and harmless? This person was clearly pretending to be an innocent white lotus.
