47: Unaware of its own oiliness?

Gao Xiaofan leaned lazily on the sofa in Orange's room, scrolling through his phone and laughing unscrupulously.

Chen Cheng was lying on the bed, also scrolling through TikTok. From time to time, the two would swap phones to show each other things.

Gao Xiaofan looked at Hua Hua and Han Han, who had suddenly appeared on TikTok that afternoon, and laughed so hard he could barely breathe.

Seeing Han Han's video was too much for him; he called it greasy, absolutely nauseating.

As for Hua Hua's singing video, it made Gao Xiaofan feel much better.

This feeling of watching someone else's gossip when the main character was right next door was truly wonderful.

Gao Xiaofan really had no choice; it was too hot. Especially after being hit by the sun, the whole room was stuffy. Unable to bear the heat, he thought of this loophole.

If he couldn't turn on his own air conditioning, could he leech off someone else's? He first went to Qu Lang's place, but the man was busy. After thinking about it, he came to Orange's.

After the events of the morning, he had completely given up on his image. Besides, Orange had already seen his butt, so what was wrong with coming to her room for some AC? It was perfectly reasonable.

And so, this scene unfolded.

“Orange, why aren't you busy at all? I see Brother Lang can't even find a moment to rest.”

Chen Cheng replied without even turning her head.

“I've finished everything I'm supposed to do. I don't understand the stuff they're working on now anyway.”

“Eh? Aren't assistants supposed to know a bit of everything?”

“I wouldn't know. Regardless, I don't understand it.”

Chen Cheng's self-righteous tone made Gao Xiaofan roll his eyes as he went back to scrolling through TikTok videos.

On the same floor, inside Reba's room, Sister Mimi lay on the bed, looking helplessly at Reba, who had a mischievous smirk on her face.

“Sister Mimi, you wouldn't really...”

Although Sister Mimi was Reba's boss, the two of them had a great relationship in private and often joked around together.

“What are you thinking? How could that be possible.”

Sister Mimi rubbed her face and spoke helplessly.

“Sigh, actually, I did have a premonition that there would be paparazzi. After all, the view opposite Gao Xiaofan's room is quite good. I was a bit anxious and wanted to stir up some hype; otherwise, the two of us could easily be marginalized in the show.”

Reba nodded in agreement beside her. Those in the entertainment industry naturally understood that without hype, no one would pay attention, and brands and investors wouldn't choose you.

“Who knew the AC in his room was broken? I was dying from the heat. I also thought he might share some useful information, but as soon as I took off my coat, he suddenly pulled the curtains.”

Reba's eyes widened, and she leaned in cutely.

“Ah~ so scandalous! And then?”

“I was stunned and didn't react in time. I thought he was going to do something, but then he told me it was to prevent sunlight from coming in. Bullshit! He definitely knew there were paparazzi opposite us!”

Reba blinked and asked uncertainly.

“No way. I checked; he's just an outdoor fishing Streamer. How could he know so much?”

Sister Mimi glanced at Reba.

“Couldn't you tell from his conversation with Liu Yunning last night? He guessed that the Program Production Crew had put cameras in the private room and said those things on purpose. That's hype.”

“Look at those other influencers; they still don't realize it. Only Gao Xiaofan is even ahead of us industry insiders.”

“This morning, the Program Production Crew released his argument with Liu Yunning. Not long after, at noon, the thing between him and me was released. He's had the spotlight all day today. Sigh, he's just too good at creating drama.”

After hearing her boss's lament, Reba finally understood and couldn't help but say.

“This person is too terrifying.”

“Yeah. I thought it was a sure win with both of us participating, but I didn't expect someone from outside our circle to stir the waters.”

After Sister Mimi finished speaking, she buried her head in the quilt. Although the hype she wanted had been achieved—even better than she had imagined—she was a woman after all, and no one liked this kind of publicity.

As time passed, it was soon time for Gao Xiaofan's painful dinner hour.

Yawning, he slowly followed behind Orange to the buffet restaurant.

The internet's first 24-hour non-stop variety show was indeed full of loopholes. The original plan was to arrive three days early to get familiar with the show's operation, but after arriving, the Program Production Crew changed the plan again.

It seemed they had no intention of announcing the main storyline of the show to them yet, so everyone had to wait patiently for the broadcast to start.

Gao Xiaofan picked up a steamed bun and prepared to head back to his room. After all, for him, staying here only increased his sorrow. Watching those people eat fragrant hot dishes while he could only gnaw on a bun—good heavens.

“Xiaofan, right? Hello, I'm Han Han.”

Just as he turned around, he saw Han Han walking over with a cold smile, the corners of his mouth curving exactly like a Blunt-snouted bream.

“Oh, hello Blunt-snouted bream—ah no, hello Brother Han.”

Gao Xiaofan accidentally spoke his mind. He quickly swallowed the bun in his mouth and corrected himself.

Han Han was different from Liu Yunning. Although he wasn't doing great in the industry, he was still somewhat famous. There was no need to offend people.

Seeing the two of them standing and chatting, the others looked over curiously.

Hua Hua whispered to his manager, “See, I told you to make a move early. Now Han Han has gone first.”

The manager had a bitter expression and didn't say anything.

Gao Xiaofan was currently the hottest topic in this Program Production Crew. Anyone who approached him could get a share of the attention. Several industry insiders had analyzed the situation by the morning.

Qu Lang and Cheng Yan, who had just come downstairs, were also delighted to see the two of them. They immediately gestured for the people behind them to prepare to film footage.

Han Han's face darkened when he heard 'Blunt-snouted bream.' What the hell? But thinking that he was here to leech off the hype, he acted as if he hadn't heard it. He smiled and continued.

“Sigh, what a pity. The Program Production Crew insists on male-female pairings this time; otherwise, it would definitely be interesting to be on a team with you.”

Gao Xiaofan also smiled, preparing to offer some polite agreement.

But at that moment, the system prompt sounded again, making Gao Xiaofan almost cough up blood.

“Nine-Turn Continuous Daily Mission. Triggering the sixth mission: I have to say, he's too greasy for me. As my Host, shouldn't you stand up for me?”

Gao Xiaofan swallowed hard. Looking at Qu Lang and Cheng Yan who were approaching, he steeled his heart.

“Hehe, I think the Program Production Crew's setting is quite good. If we were really in a group, it would definitely be very greasy. As for whether it would be interesting, I wouldn't know.”

Han Han looked at Gao Xiaofan in confusion. For a moment, he didn't react and subconsciously let out a sound.

“Huh?”

Gao Xiaofan hadn't expected Han Han to be so dim-witted. He scratched his head and tilted it, asking.

“Greasy and unaware?”

“Pfft~” Reba, who was watching the fun nearby, couldn't hold it back anymore and burst out laughing. Sister Mimi, standing next to her, was also holding back so hard that tears were almost coming out.
