As Lin Yanyan’s partner, Ye Lu immediately mocked her, saying, “Is this what you call lucky?”
However, when all the remaining bamboo sticks were emptied and everyone saw the words written on them, such as “A stone picked from the roadside for 100 yuan”, “A handshake for 188 yuan”, and “A hug for 520 yuan”, everyone fell silent.
Shang Lu looked at Lin Yanyan and sincerely praised her, “You really are lucky.”
Compared to these items that were clearly meant to scam money, the pig feed looked the most normal, at least it provided something practical in exchange. The rest of the items seemed to be varying degrees of fraud!
The atmosphere in the barrage was very lively.
[The program team could have just said that not everyone would be able to complete the task, no need to go through all this hahaha]
[This is really too difficult, I don’t believe anyone can sell these items, but I want to see (sly smile emoji)]
[Even true fans might not be willing to spend money on pig feed, let alone facing haters haha]
[This task is insane haha]
[I declare myself a prophet, I bet that no one can complete this task!]
All the guests sat in their respective cars, embarking on the difficult road of “meeting and dating to sell pig feed” with the black fans.
Everyone was worried and contemplating how to complete this daunting task.
Only Shang Lu had a nonchalant expression, even holding a glass of juice that she brought out from the house, squinting her eyes as she looked out the car window at the scenery.
Seeing Shang Lu’s calm demeanor, the PD couldn’t help but ask, “Teacher Shang, do you have any good ideas on how to sell the product?”
Shang Lu shook his head and denied, “No.”
The PD was more puzzled and asked, “Then why do you seem to be in a good mood? Aren’t you worried about the punishment for failing the task?”
“Well, I was a little bit worried at first,” Shang Lu thought for a moment before answering, “but after seeing that there is a task to sell pig feed, I’m not worried at all.”
The PD didn’t understand, “What do you mean? Can you clarify, Mr. Shang?”
Shang Lu shrugged and patiently explained, “Originally, I was worried that I might be the only one unable to complete the task, and it wouldn’t be good to drag down my teammates. But now I think everyone will probably not be able to complete this task.”
“Teacher Shang’s mindset is indeed good,” the PD smiled awkwardly and continued to ask, “Then Teacher Shang, you’re going to meet your black fan, what do you think will happen when you sell the product? Can you guess?”
Shang Lu yawned and retorted, “What can happen? Do you really expect me to sell anything? Maybe the reason why people become my black fan in the future will change from having a problem with my character to having a problem with my brain.”
Many people in the live broadcast room laughed at her words.
[Hahaha, how does Shang Lu manage to make me laugh at every sentence she says?]
[To be honest, Shang Lu is really funny (without implying that I like her)]
[Having a problem with her brain hahaha. I can’t refute it]
However, there were also some of Shang Lu’s black fans who spoke up:
[Don’t worry, Shang Lu. I will always hate you because of your character, and I’ve watched the show, so I won’t blame you for what happened today. We’ll find a way to tell that sister that selling pig feed today wasn’t your fault]
[The previous sister is really kind. I laughed… no, I was moved to tears]
…
After driving for about ten minutes, the car arrived at its destination.
It was a stylishly decorated café. The program team informed Shang Lu that her black fan has been waiting at table number eight.
Under the guidance of the waiter, Shang Lu walked up to the table number eight, where sat an extremely beautiful young girl.
She looked like she had just come of age, dressed in a black work suit with short, clean-cut hair, and her makeup had a cool and glamorous vibe. She sat there with a seemingly indifferent attitude towards Shang Lu’s arrival.
Shang Lu’s gaze fell on her, and she couldn’t help but exclaim: “Such a beautiful person is actually my black fan, what a pity.”
The short-haired girl raised her head and looked at Shang Lu, a flicker of surprise passing through her eyes. It seemed she didn’t expect Shang Lu to say such words, and her cheeks blushed instantly.
Realizing that her tough girl image was on the verge of collapsing, the short-haired girl immediately put on a poker face again.
In her heart, she kept telling herself that she came here with the expectations of the LinJiang CP fans in the online group, and she absolutely couldn’t be fooled by Shang Lu’s sweet words.
She hated Shang Lu the most!
The short-haired girl knew the flow of the program, and she knew that Shang Lu would try to sell her today’s product. She had rehearsed countless times in her mind how to refuse in a way that wouldn’t come across as rude but would embarrass Shang Lu.
However, soon the viewers in the live broadcast room realized that this task was like a hell-level difficulty for Shang Lu.
[Breaking news! This girl is Sweetie Donut!]
Some people didn’t understand.
[What kind of sweet donut?]
Someone immediately came out to explain.
[This lady is a giant in the LinJiang CP fan circle, @Sweetie_Donut! The most popular LinJiang videos with millions of views on the platform are all edited by this lady! She has the most stunning face and the sweetest name.]
LinJiang CP refers to Ning Lin and Jiang Yi. When the barrage mentioned LinJiang, countless fans of the CP were excited, as if they had found an organization in an instant.
[Hahaha, who feels good? I do!]
[Lady Sweetie Donut is really beautiful and produces high-quality content. Welcome everyone to join us. The whole world is fake except for LinJiang.]
[Poor Shang Lu, the program team just happened to invite Ning Lin and Jiang Yi’s CP fan. This is clearly an impossible task.]
[Actually, like Shang Lu said, no one can complete this task.]
However, in the tenth minute of Shang Lu sitting down, except for complimenting the beauty of the girl in front of her when she came in, she didn’t say a word.
On the other hand, Lady Sweetie Donut couldn’t sit still. She felt awkward being stared at by Shang Lu without speaking, but she couldn’t take the initiative to speak either, as it would put her in a passive position.
Until even the program team couldn’t bear it anymore, they reminded Shang Lu: “Teacher Shang, Teacher Lin’s task has already been completed.”
Shang Lu was surprised, but still gave a thumbs up in praise: “Awesome.”
The barrage was filled with question marks about how Lin Yanyan had successfully sold something, but soon someone came to explain to them.
[Thanks for the invite. I just came from Lin Yanyan’s livestream. She did indeed successfully sell a bag of pig feed. This sister is amazing. She took the haters to a luxury store and let them pick any item as a free gift for buying pig feed. Who can resist such temptation? The production team didn’t mention this as a violation before, so she can be considered as having completed the task.]
Meanwhile, others had full confidence in Sweetie Donut.
[Hahaha, everyone, don’t worry. Luxury items won’t work on Sweetie Donut.]
[Who doesn’t know that Sweetie Donut is the number one wealthy lady in the LinJiang fanbase? She personally funded the helicopter support for LinJiang’s anniversary in the capital!]
[Don’t even talk about spending money to let Sweetie Donut buy things from Shang Lu. Even if Shang Lu gave her money, she wouldn’t accept it.]
[Difficulty level of selling to Sweetie Donut: Hell mode.]
Everyone was waiting for Shang Lu to hit a wall with Sweetie Donut, but some people also noticed a blind spot.
[At least the premise of failure is attempting to sell, right? Look at Shang Lu, she’s almost falling asleep! Can she say something?]
[Be content, at least Shang Lu said a word, while Xu Ze next door hasn’t said a single one]
[Ye Lu on the other hand is going to the extreme, talking too much, the haters are almost annoyed to death hahaha]
[Teacher Jiang Jing and Director Song are different, one is educating the haters in the role of an elder, the other is relentlessly mocking the hater about their acting skills, the haters are almost in tears]
[Damn… so in the end, the haters are the ones getting hurt in this round of maneuvers?]
[These guests on this variety show are really weirder than each other!!!]
…
Indeed, Shang Lu is not prepared to sell at all. Her mindset is still the same as when she started, ready to act indifferent to the end. She doesn’t want to please those who dislike her.
Her hobby is to have fun, not to be made fun of.
After sitting for half an hour, Shang Lu is also tired. She gets up and prepares to leave.
During this time, Shang Lu hasn’t done anything except for enjoying three pieces of small cakes with different flavors, feeling very satisfied.
As expected, sweet treats save the world.
Just as Shang Lu was about to leave, Sweetie Donut couldn’t help but ask, “Shang Lu, don’t you have anything to say?”
Sweetie Donut had agreed to participate in the recording of the program with the expectation that Shang Lu would try to please her, but she was ignored throughout the entire process, which caused a great psychological gap for her.
Suddenly being stopped, Shang Lu turned around to look at Sweetie Donut, ready to give her a face and say “goodbye,” but her gaze was briefly stunned when it fell on the phone screen that lit up on the table.
Sweetie Donut’s phone wallpaper was a photo of Ning Lin and Jiang Yi together.
It was intentional provocation. Sweetie Donut’s phone was facing Shang Lu’s direction, and from Shang LU’s perspective, she could clearly see the tall, handsome man in a suit holding the delicate woman in his arms, looking really well-matched.
Perhaps it was because she had been in the air-conditioned room for a long time and had just eaten some tasty desserts, Shang Lu’s mood wasn’t too bad.
So she decided to be kind and do a good deed.
Shang Lu walked up to Sweetie Donut, who was wary of her, and leaned close to her ear, saying only one sentence—
“Don’t worry, your CP is real.”
Half an hour later, everyone returned to the villa.
Shang Lu looked around with interest, and apart from Lin Yanyan proudly boasting about her success, everyone else seemed more exhausted than before they set off.
It wasn’t until Shang Lu saw Ye Lu walking in with a towel wrapped around his wet body that she couldn’t help but ask, “What happened to you?”
“Don’t mention it.” Ye Lu wrapped the towel tighter around him, with resentment in his voice. “It’s a scam. How could the black fans agree to our promotion? Except for Lin Yanyan’s opportunistic approach. Essentially, we have to sell the product to complete the task from the program group.”
Shang Lu nodded and succinctly summarized what Ye Lu didn’t want to say out loud, “So you failed to sell, and failed the task as well.”
Ye Lu looked at Shang Lu angrily, like an angered cat, and asked, “Aren’t you the same?”
Shang Lu was unapologetic, “I just failed to sell, I didn’t do the task.”
Seeing Ye Lu’s frustrated expression, the barrage was filled with laughter and comments.
[Hahaha, Shang Lu’s remark totally backfired on Lin Yanyan.]
[How did Shang Lu manage to say the most shameless thing with the most righteous tone?]
[But what she said is true, hahaha!]
…
The result was obvious, as none of the other guests except for Lin Yanyan had completed the task.
Just as the production team was about to announce the result, a staff member immediately walked in and whispered something to the director’s ear.
The director looked stunned, confirmed with the staff member with a nod, swallowed nervously, and continued to announce the result.
“We have seen everyone’s efforts today, so now it’s time to announce the result. The first place in this round is Shang Lu! Let’s give her a round of applause!!!”
The scene fell silent, and only lonely applause could be heard.
As Shang Lu’s partner, Xu Ze gave her face.
Lin Yanyan’s voice sounded sharp, “Is this a joke? Am I not the only one who sold products? How could Shang Lu be the first?”
Shang Lu also looked puzzled and waited for the production team to explain.
The staff member didn’t quite understand what was going on either, but still explained with a forced smile, “Teacher Shang, Sweetie Donut called just now and expressed satisfaction with your promotion. She is willing to purchase ten units of the product you promoted.”
Everyone present was confused, and so were the comments in the barrage.
[???]
[Is this a joke… How could Sweetie Donut buy Shang Lu’s product?]
[Did I miss something? How did she succeed in selling? And ten units?]
[What about the black fan? Isn’t this too sudden?!]
[Why did the plot suddenly turn magical? Hey!!!]
Finally, Shang Lu’s personal cameraman realized what happened and seized the opportunity to ask, “What did you say to Sweetie Donut at the end?”
Under the puzzled gazes of everyone, Shang Lu fell into recollection.
Ah…
In fact, it was nothing special. She just said something that the other party wanted to hear.
