113: Chapter 113 The audience has all arrived.
"No way, something actually happened?"
"Hilarious. How many times has Lin Xiao been right, yet some people still don't learn their lesson? Happy now? They actually went to the Hospital!"
"Where are the people who were just praising He Xiaomei's cooking? Keep barking!"
"Daring to eat wild mushrooms without cooking them thoroughly, tsk tsk tsk."
"Stop talking nonsense! Sister Xiaomei's cooking skills are so good, how could something like this happen?"
"I know it! That guy Lin Xiao must have done something to it!"
The audience watching the live stream were gloating one by one.
Most of those brainless fans had stopped talking, quietly acting like quails.
Only a few crazed ones remained, continuing to mindlessly pin the blame on Lin Xiao.
As Lin Ran ate the delicious grilled fish, she whispered, "I saw both of them eat that plate of wild mushrooms, so why is He Xiaomei fine?"
"Maybe she has a strong immune system."
Lin Xiao flipped the grilled fish and said casually.
What he didn't say was that He Xiaomei didn't just have a strong immune system; she was practically immune to all poisons.
Because of her years of fanatical celebrity chasing, she had eaten all sorts of messy things.
Things like leftover food from celebrities, or leftover drinks and alcohol, were considered normal.
Besides that, she had even eaten things that were even more disgusting…
Lin Xiao didn't even want to continue thinking about it.
These complaints appeared in his inner thoughts. After hearing them, Lin Ran's hand froze.
Her stomach began to churn faintly, and she somewhat regretted asking such an unnecessary question.
She had originally thought He Xiaomei came from a good family and that fanatical celebrity chasing was just a hobby; she hadn't expected it to be this twisted.
The look she gave He Xiaomei again was filled with deep disgust.
On the other side, He Xiaomei was still in a panic.
She had originally wanted to go to the Hospital with them, but the program's live stream was still continuing here.
If she left, their group would have no one left.
Worried about the negative impact on the audience, the director forbade her from leaving.
She was very concerned about Young Master Jie's condition and kept calling and messaging Young Master Jie's assistant and manager.
But the people on the other end seemed too busy to care about her, only replying after a long time.
In her urgency, she watched Lin Xiao and Lin Ran still eating happily, and the anger in her heart grew stronger, while her mentality gradually became twisted.
"Lin Xiao, you just wait."
He Xiaomei's voice wasn't loud, but her eyes were cold, and her tone was full of resentment.
There was no one around her, and no one noticed her expression.
But Lin Xiao seemed to sense something; his hand holding the grilled fish paused slightly, and a flash of surprise crossed his eyes.
But soon, he returned to his gentle smile, chatting idly with Lin Ran.
Within the Production Crew, the only person busier than He Xiaomei at this moment was the director.
After Young Master Jie was sent to the Hospital, Director Zhang immediately called his superiors again.
This time, it once again confirmed the accuracy of Lin Xiao's Fortune Telling.
Director Zhang believed in Lin Xiao's previous statements even more. To prevent the program from completely flopping, he had to take this opportunity to kick Young Master Jie out of the program, no matter what.
"Yes, just publicly announce that he is on sick leave, and that will be fine."
"Compensation? What kind of compensation do you still want at a time like this?"
"You should have seen the ability Lin Xiao displayed through the live stream. This is a perfect opportunity. If you miss it, and any unexpected situations arise later, I won't be responsible for the losses!"
"What else is there to hesitate about? Don't think I don't know what you agreed upon with him privately. Aren't you afraid of being implicated if you're a step too late?"
In Director Zhang's mind, he was already certain that Young Master Jie would soon be going to prison to 'operate a sewing machine'.
Listening to the leader on the other end hesitate, he was so angry he wanted to curse out loud.
Finally, under his relentless bombardment, the other side gave in and went directly to contact Young Master Jie's manager.
After Director Zhang confirmed repeatedly that they would keep their word, the heavy burden in his heart was finally lifted.
After dinner, Lin Xiao stretched and planned to return to his room.
Director Zhang walked up and asked with a smile, "Lin Xiao, are you going fishing again today?"
"No, I'm watching a show tonight."
Lin Xiao gave a mischievous smile and beckoned to Director Zhang mysteriously.
Director Zhang approached with some confusion and asked nervously, "What show? Did something happen again?"
"Lend me a live stream device to put in my room; you'll know when the time comes… Don't alert anyone else."
Lin Xiao deliberately kept him in suspense.
Director Zhang hesitated.
Ordinarily, live streaming in a room required staff to be present.
In case of any special circumstances that shouldn't be broadcast, the feed could be cut or the camera angle shifted in time.
Handing over the live stream equipment so rashly might lead to accidents.
Lin Xiao seemed to see the director's concerns and said seriously, "Don't worry, there won't be any big problems… I guarantee the Live Stream Channel will go viral again, and it won't get banned."
"Alright then."
Hearing that the Live Stream Channel would go viral, Director Zhang chose to trust Lin Xiao.
He quietly arranged for a staff member to place the live stream equipment in the corner of Lin Xiao's room.
And Director Zhang himself, out of curiosity about this "good show," also discussed it with Lin Xiao and hid in a concealed spot in Lin Xiao's room.
"Heh, with He Xiaomei's intelligence, she wants to plot against me? Let's see who ends up plotting against whom!"
In the next room, Lin Ran was already preparing to rest.
Hearing Lin Xiao's inner thoughts, she immediately sat up from the bed.
A show to watch?
She couldn't miss this!
So she also came to Lin Xiao's room, wanting to watch the drama up close.
Yan Sen and He He happened to pass by and, seeing the director and Lin Ran acting so suspiciously, became curious.
After coming in to ask and learning there was a good show to watch, they immediately didn't leave.
Fortunately, Lin Xiao's room was the largest in the whole courtyard, so they all quietly hid in the room's private Restroom, waiting for the show to begin.
Lin Xiao had originally intended to live stream it for the audience to see; he hadn't expected everyone else to show up.
Looking at the few shadows reflected on the frosted glass of the Restroom, he couldn't help but laugh or cry.
At first, the people in the Restroom were still discussing it in hushed tones.
When they heard the knocking on the door outside, they all tacitly shut their mouths.
Lin Xiao turned on the live stream equipment, confirmed the angle, and then slowly asked, "Who is it?"
A delicate, coquettish voice came from outside the door, "It's me, He Xiaomei."
