I'm in Love Apartment, and the system is making me cultivate immortality.

Lisa didn't think about it for long.

They immediately approved Gu Yifan's request.

So be it, I'll wear a mask.

Although it may be questioned by argumentative netizens, it might be able to reverse the public opinion.

The discussion shifted from whether the production team had rigged the show or whether talent was being overlooked, to whether the person in question was actually the person in question.

It can also increase the show's popularity, so why not?

"Then it's a pleasure to cooperate." Gu Yifan nodded.

Lisa was about to discuss the planning of a new program, and she was very interested in The Masked Singer.

It would be great if, after Super Boy finished airing, we could launch a new music variety show in one go.

Gu Yifan suddenly asked, "By the way, do I get an appearance fee?"

The office was quiet.

Lisa: ?
Zeng Xiaoxian:
Seeing the strange looks from Lisa and Teacher Zeng, Gu Yifan shrugged and said, "What's the problem?"

He can't just come as a guest for nothing.

In any case, he's now a man who can easily make hundreds of dollars a day.

Lisa had heard Zeng Xiaoxian boast that Gu Yifan's companies were thriving and that such a big boss would not be short of money.

Moreover, other contestants participate in the show only to bribe the production team.

Unexpectedly, Gu Yifan so brazenly asked for money.

Gu Yifan: Yeah, even a mosquito's leg is meat.

“There will naturally be an appearance fee for participating in the show.” Lisa suddenly thought of something, and a faint smile appeared on her face.

"However, the program is currently facing a slight shortage of funds."

The production team hadn't expected the show to have such high ratings. After an emergency discussion, everyone considered moving the show's finale to a different venue.

The current plan is to hold the event as a concert in a stadium.

However, this meant that the originally planned funds would not be enough.

Lisa has also been worried about the funding gap for the show recently.

But looking at Gu Yifan sitting in front of her, Lisa suddenly realized.

Isn't this guy a big spender?
Gu Yifan was taken aback. "What do you mean? A promissory note?"

Lisa shook her head, her smile widening, which immediately gave Gu Yifan a bad feeling.

Lisa cut to the chase, "Mr. Gu, are you interested in making additional investments?"

"what?"

Gu Yifan was stunned at first, then looked at Lisa, who was smiling like a cunning fox, in astonishment.

You idiot Lisa.

He just wanted to earn some money for his hard work.

So Lisa wasn't just after Gu Yifan, but also his money?!
Gu Yifan was about to refuse decisively, but then fell into deep thought.

On the other hand...
The popularity of the Super Boy show exceeded Gu Yifan's original expectations.

This is a conflict arising from the growing spiritual needs of the nation and the current lack of excellent works in the entertainment industry.

Adding to the mix were a series of unexpected events, which caused the show's ratings to skyrocket.

May your journey be long and prosperous!
Basically, this show is a shoo-in for the top spot in Shanghai TV ratings this year.

It's only March, yet they dare to make such confident statements, which shows the production team's confidence in the show.

This way.

Investing more money in advertising, or even acquiring naming rights, isn't out of the question!
Of course, Gu Yifan did not intend for Feifan Animation or his own game company to sponsor the project.

For various reasons, it is impossible to promote the gaming industry extensively.

Moreover, in terms of funding, it would be a bit difficult for these two companies, which have just started to make a profit, to sponsor a program that is popular all over the country.

Gu Yifan's money is Gu Yifan's money, and the company's money is the company's money; these must be kept separate.

But it's different with Hungry Bar.

Now is a crucial time to expand the market, build brand awareness and influence, and we have plenty of surplus funds.

Sponsoring a popular program for promotion is a viable option.

"It's not impossible."

Gu Yifan stopped rubbing his chin.

Lisa was somewhat surprised.

She hadn't expected Gu Yifan to give in so easily.

Now it seems he has this intention?

“Investment is no problem, but I want the naming rights!” Gu Yifan said.

Lisa's smile froze, replaced by a troubled expression.

"Well, the naming rights are already secured."

"The price is negotiable," Gu Yifan added. "I have the money."

Is this the source of the confidence of the Lin family's son-in-law at the National Bank?

Lisa gritted her teeth inwardly, thinking how enviable it was.

Lisa's expression changed. "I need the station's approval for the naming rights, but there's the issue of the fees."

“Funding is not a problem,” Gu Yifan said immediately.

Lisa smiled again. "Then wait for my good news."

If she could get another sum of money from Gu Yifan, her status at the TV station would rise accordingly.

Lisa is very ambitious and not satisfied with just being a top producer.

They came out of the TV station.

Zeng Xiaoxian was extremely excited. The smoother Gu Yifan's conversation with Lisa went, the more benefits he, as the hero, would receive.

"By the way, Yifan, why did you suddenly decide to sponsor this program?" Teacher Zeng asked curiously.

"Well, it's not just this program; Ele.me's ads will probably be rolled out all over the country, making them ubiquitous," Gu Yifan said with a smile.

Zeng Xiaoxian stared in disbelief, "How much will this cost?"

"Anyway, with Lin's International Bank investing, what's there to be afraid of?" Gu Yifan planned to make good use of his father-in-law's resources.

Zeng Xiaoxian fell silent.

However, he was filled with emotion. Yifan had only been in the apartment for less than a year, yet he had achieved a magnificent turnaround from scratch.

He only managed to cross the gap between his long-cherished dream of becoming a radio host and a television host thanks to his good friend.

People are so irritating.

"By the way, Teacher Zeng, there's something I feel I need to remind you of." Gu Yifan drove the car out of the parking lot.

"Just say what you want to say," Zeng Xiaoxian said dismissively.

Gu Yifan glanced at Teacher Zeng, who looked quite respectable in the suit given to him by Wan Yu's mother.

"Teacher Zeng, you need to be careful. TV stations are not like radio stations. There are more people there, and the competition is fiercer. There might be someone who is jealous of you and tries to trip you up."

Zeng Xiaoxian thought Gu Yifan wanted to talk about the show, but he didn't expect him to say this.

I was stunned when I heard that.

"Well, I think my colleagues are all pretty good."

Gu Yifan shook his head. "Teacher Zeng, you used to be a bottom-ranked radio host, but now you've transformed into a host of a nationally popular variety show. Do you think no one would be jealous of you?"

Upon hearing this, Teacher Zeng fell silent.

He wasn't stupid. Zeng Xiaoxian had worked his way up over the years and knew all too well the saying that there were no friends, only competitors, in the workplace.

When he was down on his luck, nobody paid any attention to him; he was just a nobody. Apart from hanging out with Pete Joel from the sports channel, nobody liked him.

But now that he's become a host on Super Boy, his colleagues seem to have suddenly become very enthusiastic about him, including his old colleagues from the radio station and his new colleagues from the TV station.

This made Zeng Xiaoxian feel a little smug.

Gu Yifan glanced at Teacher Zeng and continued.

"So, Teacher Zeng, you need to be more careful now and not be too flamboyant, lest you attract jealousy and be targeted."

"If you say or do something wrong, countless people will emerge who want to replace you."

"By then, Teacher Zeng, you might not be able to stay on TV as a host, and you might lose your radio job as well."

Teacher Zeng looks like Lao Bi.

Gu Yifan didn't want him to be set up and end up with the same fate.

Zeng Xiaoxian knew that Gu Yifan was reminding him, but he didn't care much at first, thinking it was fine if others were envious.

But now, after being warned by Gu Yifan, he suddenly felt a cold sweat break out on his back.

"I understand, I will be more careful."

Gu Yifan nodded. It was because Teacher Zeng liked to show off too much, or rather, she really wanted to achieve something and gain recognition from others.

For example, he changed the name of all his chat apps to 'Super Boy Host Zeng Xiaoxian'.

Before Teacher Zeng, there were far too many cautionary tales.

Gu Yifan didn't want Teacher Zeng to suffer a setback and have all his efforts come to naught.

Back to Love Apartment.

Teacher Zeng didn't say much along the way.

Gu Yifan's reminder clearly brought Zeng Xiaoxian to his senses.

As they entered Unit 3, Zeng Xiaoxian suddenly said, "Thank you, Yifan."

"Ok?"

“I understand, I may have been a bit too impulsive lately.” Zeng Xiaoxian hesitated for a moment before speaking seriously. “Honest advice is hard to swallow, but thank you, Yifan, for being willing to remind me.”

Zeng Xiaoxian didn't want to lose his hard-earned status as a TV host, and he didn't want to go back to the radio station, to that dark and gloomy little studio.

"It's good that you've figured it out, Teacher Zeng. Don't worry, I'm here to support you, as are Wanyu, Yifei, and everyone else," Gu Yifan said to Zeng Xiaoxian with relief.

Zeng Xiaoxian also laughed.

Although life at the radio station was tough, he was fortunate to have a group of good friends and brothers.

Especially Yifan.

He had his eye on this powerful figure, Xiaoxian!

"Oh right, Yifan." Zeng Xiaoxian's signature cheeky smile reappeared as he rubbed his hands together.

"Could you consider me as a host for your new show?"

Although Zeng Xiaoxian didn't say anything, he heard everything Gu Yifan and Lisa were talking about work.

Lisa highly recommends this show, and if he could host it again, no one would question his abilities anymore.

"Well, it's too early to say now, but I will definitely support you, Teacher Zeng."

Gu Yifan patted Teacher Zeng on the shoulder.

"Really, Yifan, you really are my good brother!" Zeng Xiaoxian's eyes lit up with joy.

Gu Yifan followed Teacher Zeng into 3602.

As soon as I opened the door, I was greeted by a strong smell of braised beef instant noodles.

"Teacher Zeng, how many instant noodles have you eaten? They're so flavorful!"

Gu Yifan complained.

I've gotten used to living with Wanyu; everything smells so nice.

Although room 3602 was much cleaner after being cleaned, it still had a distinct male dormitory smell.

"Don't even mention it. It's all because Meijia left. Guangu is busy painting every day, and Ziqiao is even worse. He can't cook at all."

Zeng Xiaoxian sighed deeply.

They'd been eating instant noodles for over a week. Gu Yifan suddenly realized, "No wonder, that explains why you guys kept coming to 3601 to freeload."

Just then, Zhanbo came out of the room carrying his computer. "Ziqiao, Ziqiao, I've got it all sorted out."

"Hey, Teacher Zeng, Brother Gu, you're back."

"Zhanbo, what are you doing helping Ziqiao? You're not looking for Meijia, are you?" Zeng Xiaoxian asked hopefully.

They didn't realize it when Meijia was around, but once Meijia left, they had to clean the suite themselves and wash their own clothes.

Most importantly, eating instant noodles every day, even if you change the flavors, is still instant noodles. Who can stand that?

Zhanbo shook his head. "No, it was Ziqiao who asked me to help with the heart-fluttering test."

Upon hearing this, Zeng Xiaoxian was greatly disappointed, while Gu Yifan raised an eyebrow and asked, "What do you mean?"

At this moment, Ziqiao also walked in carrying a bowl of instant noodles, and also holding a Harbin red sausage in his hand.

Gu Yifan felt that the red sausage looked familiar.

Could this guy have gone to his suite to freeload again?
Zhanbo shrugged and pointed at Ziqiao, "You should ask him instead."

When Ziqiao saw Gu Yifan, he was visibly flustered for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Hey, Teacher Zeng, you're back."

"Ziqiao, what are you doing?" Zeng Xiaoxian asked.

Gu Yifan then narrowed his eyes and said, "What you're holding isn't the sausage from my fridge, is it?"

"Well, it's a long story." Ziqiao, feeling guilty, refused to answer Gu Yifan's questions, but sped up his eating of the sausage.

"Then let's get to the point. What, you have a terminal illness?" Zeng Xiaoxian asked bluntly.

To everyone's surprise, Ziqiao thought about it and actually nodded, "Pretty much."

Zeng Xiaoxian raised an eyebrow and said with a smug look, "That's really good news. Meijia's return shouldn't be far off."

Ziqiao rolled his eyes, too lazy to pay attention to Teacher Zeng, and continued to explain, "I've noticed that when I'm picking up girls lately, I don't feel that same excitement as before!"

Gu Yifan and Zeng Xiaoxian exchanged a glance.

"so?"

"This is good news."

Ziqiao said with an exaggerated expression, "You guys don't understand. Whether it's a curvy, mature woman, a pretty and gentle cute girl, or a still-charming young woman, I'm not interested at all!"

"Oh, that feeling of boredom is awful."

Gu Yifan grinned speechlessly.

Yes, for Ziqiao, losing the spark of romance is indeed a terminal illness.

Zeng Xiaoxian complained, "Ziqiao, why don't you just say you have a kidney problem?"

Ziqiao glared at him and immediately retorted, "Nonsense, my kidneys are perfectly fine!"

"So you asked Zhanbo to get you an electrocardiogram device so you could have a heart rate-stimulating treatment during your date?" Gu Yifan picked up the electrocardiogram device and asked thoughtfully.

Zhanbo interjected, "No, I modified this electrocardiogram so that it can monitor Ziqiao's heartbeat in real time to verify whether he has ever been moved."

Ziqiao shrugged. "Zhanbo doesn't believe I have a terminal illness that prevents me from feeling anything."

Zeng Xiaoxian quietly chimed in, "Actually, I don't believe it either. Ziqiao, aren't you exaggerating a bit?"

“It’s not an exaggeration at all.” Ziqiao shook his head seriously. “If I’m no longer tempted, it means I might have to retire to the mountains.”

"I actually think this is great, it frees countless beautiful girls from your clutches, Ziqiao," Gu Yifan chuckled.

"Yifan, you!"

Seeing Gu Yifan teasing him like Teacher Zeng was performing a two-person comedy routine, Zi Qiao was hurt and speechless. He simply turned to ask Zhan Bo.

"In short, with this equipment, Zhanbo, you can be sure that I'm the girl of my dreams, right!"

“That’s right, Ziqiao, you mustn’t cheat.” Zhanbo was still skeptical of Ziqiao’s words.

"We'll see. I'd love to have more pretty girls," Ziqiao replied confidently.

Seeing this, Zeng Xiaoxian also decided to go and join in the fun.

"You guys go ahead, I won't go." Gu Yifan pouted. He seemed to remember such a thing, which also helped Ziqiao confirm that the girl he had his heart was Meijia.

But Mika isn't here right now.

Therefore, Gu Yifan believes that Ziqiao's mental illness is incurable.

However, it seems that Zi Qiao hasn't been as lively as before since Mei Jia left.

Despite his current appearance of being obsessed with chasing girls, Ziqiao often finds himself lost in thought when he has nothing to do.

Maybe he just misses Mika.

Ziqiao, Zhanbo, and Teacher Zeng went downstairs to test the effects of an electrocardiogram.

The door closed.

Gu Yifan didn't plan to linger any longer and prepared to return to 3602 to find Wan Yu and, by the way, mention his idea of ​​sponsoring Super Boy.

at this time.

"I did it! I did it! Hahaha!!!"

Guan Gu pushed open the door and walked out excitedly, just in time to see Gu Yifan.

"Yifan, you're here!"

"Hey, Guan Gu?" Gu Yifan stopped and asked in surprise.

"You were at home all along."

To be honest, Guan Gu has been in seclusion recently, and Gu Yifan hasn't seen him for several days.

I thought Guan Gu was at the art studio every day, leaving early and returning late. I didn't expect him to be at home.

However, Guan Gu now looks like a homeless person, with messy hair and his dinosaur pajamas covered in various colorful paints.

"Guan Gu, are you alright?" Gu Yifan asked with concern.

"I'm perfectly fine." Guan Gu walked over excitedly and handed a large stack of drawings to Gu Yifan.

"I've finished drawing all of the One-Punch Man manga."

"So fast?" Gu Yifan was taken aback. He took the drawing and looked it over; the quality was quite good.

I didn't expect Guan Gu to work so hard.

Gu Yifan, on the other hand, has become much more laid-back now.

"Guan Gu, you've really worked hard these past few days," Gu Yifan said with admiration.

"That Yifan, the standalone book of Love Trivia is published." Guan Gu rubbed his hands awkwardly and brought up another matter.

Gu Yifan suddenly realized that Guan Gu had wanted to publish a standalone book about a mediocre romance novel, but unfortunately the publisher didn't think highly of his work, and he failed to publish it.

Guan Gu bet all his savings from the past years on the single volume, and lost everything.

Fortunately, with Gu Yifan's help, Guan Gu was asked to help refine the artwork, which helped Guan Gu recover some of his losses.

However, since "Three-Legged Love" was Guan Gu's life's work, he was naturally unwilling to give it up.

But Guan Gu felt embarrassed to directly ask Gu Yifan for help.

Gu Yifan then told Guan Gu that once Yiquan's artwork was finished, he would help Guan Gu contact a publishing house to see if they could republish the standalone volume of Love Triangle Cat.

My original intention was actually to help Guan Gu realize his dream.

Looking back now, it seems that Guan Gu had been keeping this matter in mind all along, which is why he kept working hard to catch up on the progress.

"I already told Senior Brother about this. Guan Gu, you've already contacted Senior Brother, so there shouldn't be any problems," Gu Yifan nodded knowingly and said to Guan Gu.

"Great!" Guan Gu excitedly pumped his fist.

"My dream is finally coming true! Thank you, Yifan!"

As he spoke, Guan Gu gave Gu Yifan a tight hug, "I'll become your senior brother right now!"

After saying that, Guan Gu ran back to his room.

Gu Yifan smiled wryly. Tsk, the feeling of helping others is quite nice.

Gu Yifan then looked at the drawing again, which was also what Guan Gu deserved.

A few days passed in a flash.

After taking a break following the preliminary rounds, Super Boy replanned the team competition content before starting filming for the team competition.

What a coincidence.

On this day, the first episode of Nolan's new program will also air.

Early in the morning.

The cast of Love Apartment is setting out again, preparing to be guests on Super Boy.

Let's see Teacher Zeng hosting the event.

Gu Yifan drove Wan Yu, Yi Fei, and Zhan Bo.

Teacher Zeng drove Ziqiao and the others around.

On the road.

Gu Yifan asked Zhanbo curiously if Ziqiao had found a girl he liked.

"Don't even mention finding it, I'm starting to suspect that Ziqiao cheated. A normal person's electrocardiogram isn't as flat as his," Zhanbo said, sounding somewhat skeptical.

Miss Lin took time out of her busy schedule, mainly to cheer on Gu Yifan. Upon hearing this, she smiled and said, "That's really good news. The bar won't be missing a regular customer every day."

Ms. Hu snorted coldly, "Ziqiao deserves it. He drove Meijia away, and now he's getting his comeuppance."

While driving, Gu Yifan chatted, "Do you think Ziqiao's sudden loss of interest might be related to Meijia leaving?"

There was a moment of silence inside the car.

“Impossible. Ziqiao and Meijia are like mortal enemies. I think you’re overthinking it,” Ms. Hu said first.

She didn't think Ziqiao's mental illness was related to Meijia.

Wan Yu and Zhan Bo also seconded the motion.

"Alright then, never mind." Gu Yifan shrugged, noting down the three people's reactions. In case Ziqiao and Meijia reconcile one day, he would see how they reacted.

"By the way, Zhanbo, is Moran coming today too?" Wanyu, sitting in the passenger seat, asked Zhanbo curiously.

"Yes, Moran is off today. She should have arrived at the TV station by now." Zhanbo nodded happily.

How to describe Zhanbo? He's rather shy and doesn't like to show off. Although he's been working for a long time and has gradually matured, his personality hasn't changed much.

His relationship with Moran might seem to be progressing too slowly to others.

But for Moran and Zhanbo, who are each other's first love, this pace is just right.

Hu Yifei was also very happy, "So, I can finally meet my sister-in-law? That's great!"

Gu Yifan coughed, "Yifei, don't be too enthusiastic and scare Mo Lan away."

Hu Yifei rolled her eyes. "Can't you speak properly? Do you think I'm some kind of jackal or tiger?"

Gu Yifan and Lin Wanyu exchanged a glance and said in unison.

"Yifei, you are more terrifying than jackals and tigers."

Although Zhanbo didn't dare to say it, he secretly agreed in his heart.

"Hey!" Ms. Hu said angrily.

The car was filled with the cheerful laughter of the passengers.

"Oh, right, I also prepared a surprise for Ziqiao," Gu Yifan mentioned another matter.

Seeing that Ziqiao hadn't found a girl he liked in the past few days, he became depressed and felt that he was beyond help.

Gu Yifan couldn't bear it, so he came up with a good idea to help Ziqiao cheer up.

"What surprise?" Miss Lin asked curiously, blinking her eyes.

But Gu Yifan was still keeping everyone in suspense, waiting for the two cars to arrive at the TV station.

When getting off the car.

Ziqiao noticed the short-haired girl standing at the entrance of the TV station, her eyes wide open.

"Hey, Auntie?! What are you doing here?" (End of Chapter)
