This top celebrity got drunk and acted crazy, and everyone in the Chinese entertainment industry bur

Chapter 20 The sky has fallen! It's poisoned! The wine is poisoned! [Seeking monthly votes]

After the mission details were read out, everyone shouted in unison in front of the camera: "Run, brothers!"

Afterwards, they packed their things and drove away.

Since everyone was meeting for the first time, the production team arranged a traditional courtyard with antique decorations as their accommodation for the night in order to quickly break the ice between them.

The courtyard has a beautiful and tranquil environment. Each room is separated by wooden partitions, which offer little privacy. Moreover, all the rooms have sliding doors, so you can see into the next room with just a lift of the door.

There wasn't even a door lock.

Did the production team really consider the needs of unknown celebrities when arranging this kind of accommodation?

When Dilraba and the others woke up, they found that Huka in the next room was already dead...

[Tomorrow at dawn, the courtyard will instantly transform into a crime scene!]

Netizens exclaimed that this was stirring up trouble.

But Meigeni, who resented Lü Ming for using their name to swindle and deceive, and for repeatedly offending her brother, suddenly had a glimmer of hope in her eyes.

Isn't this the perfect place to commit a crime?
You're a burnt-out jerk! You think you're something special?!

The night was as dark as ink, and the stars twinkled.

The Running Man cast gathered in the courtyard, where colorful Rio cocktails, the show's exclusive title sponsor, were laid out on the table. While enjoying their drinks, they also took the opportunity to promote the sponsor's product.

"Wow! This cocktail is so delicious!" BaBy picked up a bottle of cocktail, her acting exaggerated.

Dilraba: "Mine is peach flavored, it's pink and so pretty!"

Wang Baoqiang: "Mine is grape flavored. It's my first time drinking this kind of wine, and it's quite novel!"

Wu Qian put on a great show: "It's sweet, super delicious, and not expensive at all. Drinking this at a gathering with friends creates a really great atmosphere. Just thinking about being able to drink such delicious cocktails all season makes me feel incredibly happy!"

Li Chen chimed in, "Of course! This program is exclusively sponsored by RIO cocktails. Drink some Rio, make some friends, relax and enjoy yourself everywhere. It's a great drink with an unforgettable aftertaste!"

Seeing that everyone was exaggerating, Brother Chao laughed and said, "Although the taste is indeed delicious, it is also quite strong. A little is fine, but getting drunk is not good."

"Indeed, I felt dizzy after just one bottle." Dilraba's face flushed slightly.

Listening to everyone's enthusiastic talk, viewers in the live stream became very interested in the colorful cocktails and wanted to buy a dozen to try.

After promoting the sponsor's product, the atmosphere became awkward.

Everyone was talking before and hadn't noticed, but now that it was quiet, everyone heard the 'coo coo coo' sound.

Looking to the side, I saw four or five empty bottles in front of Huka.

Lu Ming snapped the bottle cap open, tilted his head back, and drank the wine in the blink of an eye. He repeated this process, and soon there were ten empty bottles in front of him.

Everyone was stunned!

Where the hell did this fierce warrior come from? Is he just sitting there drinking like he's drinking AD calcium milk tea?!
[One bottle in 3 seconds! I wouldn't even dare drink sugar water that fast!]

[The expressions on Chao Ge and the others' faces are like they're looking at a ghost!]

[With just a slight move, the "God of Wine" in the Chinese entertainment industry can elevate any guest to a level they could never reach in their entire lives.]

Everyone else just took a small sip, focusing on getting through the day, while the noob picked up the bottle and downed it!

[There wasn't a trace of the apathy often associated with working people in their eyes; only passion for their work!]

This kid's professional skills are off the charts!

[Although 15 yuan a bottle is a bit pricey, seeing him swirl it so vigorously made me thirsty. A man should treat himself well, so I'm ordering a case to see how it's seasoned!]

[Order placed. This is the only celebrity-endorsed item I can afford.]

[@RIO Cocktails, send the money!]

Is drinking heavily on TV something to be celebrated? I don't understand what kind of people like Hu Ming, they're even helping him boost his ratings, it's outrageous!

[He even brought in merchandise?!]

Seeing that Huka's reputation had improved, Minghei immediately stood up and loudly questioned him.

Bee, Megni, and Little Ear all cursed, "It would be best if this bum drank himself to death right here, that would be the best outcome for everyone!"

……

Lu Ming looked frustrated. He had already downed ten bottles, but the system seemed to have crashed, providing no feedback whatsoever.
He hesitated for a while before a slow notification sound finally reached his ears.

[Ding! Host detected drinking 'pigmented soda mixed with alcohol'. "Constitution" +1!]

Pigment? Soft drink? Or a mixture?
What the hell!
Wasn't he drinking a cocktail?
After doing so much, I finally triggered the system's alcohol test, and all I got was 1 point of physique as a reward. Doesn't that mean that alcohol is the least important element in this system?
Thinking about this, Lü Ming felt his head buzzing!
He drank counterfeit alcohol!
Deng Chao was alarmed and quickly advised, "Mingming, slow down, drink slowly. Even if this is good wine, you have to drink in moderation. Excessive drinking is bad for your health."

"What a load of rubbish!" Lu Ming cursed. "All those colorful colors are from food coloring. Is this a cocktail? It's 99% food coloring mixed with 1% alcohol—a ruthless and inefficient process, and it's even made with cheap, low-quality alcohol!"

"Look at my tongue, it looks like it's been painted with paint, I might get poisoned."

"Hey!"

"Look! The saliva is all different colors. If you put this cocktail on a palette and stir it, even art students who can't afford paint can use it to create art."

"No, it's already reacting. I feel like this thing is even more toxic than poisonous green beans. You guys chat first, I'll go pick at it over there!"

Chao Ge: "???"

Wu Qian: "??!"

Teacher Huang: "?!!"

Everyone stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

Seriously, has this nobody gone mad? Criticizing Huang Lei and Wu Qian is one thing, but daring to criticize the products of their sponsor? Does he have a death wish?!
And what's with the "scratching" part?
Amidst their bewildered gazes, Lü Ming dashed to a distant trash can and, without any hesitation, stuck his finger into his throat and vomited violently!

"Roar! Roar! Roar!"

"The wine is poisoned, I might need to have my stomach pumped!"

【? ? ? 】

Are you trying to make me laugh to death?!

Is this a human?

[Teacher Huang was overjoyed: You've finally met your match!]

[@RIO Cocktail, don't send money yet, please send some for Ming's medical expenses!]

How's the guy who ordered the cocktails earlier doing?

Refund issued!

[No, when I saw his mouth covered in all sorts of colors from the drink, I knew it must contain some kind of technology. Other celebrities would just laugh it off and keep bragging, but Hu Ming is different. He actually dared to admit he fell into a trap so everyone could avoid it!]

Everyone doubted you, but you proved them wrong!

[He really made me cry to death! 】

[If he were to say anything else, I'd be 100% convinced this nobody is freaking out, but when it comes to his reviews of drinks, I have to believe him.]

[The "God of Wine" in Chinese entertainment, his record is verifiable: #MushroomHouseIncident##DrunkenStewedIntestines#]

【…】

"Teacher Huang, please call 120 for an ambulance right away, and also introduce me to a gastroenterologist. You're the most experienced in gastric lavage; I feel like I'm being poisoned..." Lu Ming returned to the dining table, looking at Teacher Huang with a terrified expression.

Teacher Huang: "Hahahaha!"

Why does he feel so good seeing this seemingly clueless guy get his comeuppance?

"So you've finally met your match!" Wu Qian sneered. "You think I'd call 120 for you? Your brother Qian will arrange a hearse for you, and we can definitely get you to the crematorium and cut in line for cremation!"

"Mingming, there's nothing wrong with the wine... You must be drunk, right?" Deng Chao quickly tried to smooth things over.

"What's so intoxicating about this?" Lu Ming said confidently, "If I drink ten bottles of this stuff, the breathalyzer reading won't even be 1%!"

Dilraba: "Then why do I feel dizzy after only drinking half a bottle?"

"You're not drunk, it's pigment poisoning stimulating your brain!" Dilraba: "(｀Д)!!"

“I disagree. I feel the same way I do when I’m drunk!” BaBy questioned.

Lü Ming: "You drank too much, so the toxins have probably spread and affected your brain nerves. If you drink a few more bottles, there's no point in rinsing your stomach. You might have to have brain surgery."

"Huh?" BaBy questioned his existence, then looked at the colorful cocktails on the table with a look of horror.

seriously!
She looked at Reba and mumbled, "Is there pigment in my mouth?"

"Sister, your tongue is actually a gradient sky blue color, that's pretty cool!"

BaBy's expression changed, and she hesitated, "How about... I go and scratch it too?"

Ignoring the two women's reactions, Lü Ming charged at Teacher Huang with bared teeth and claws. The latter was startled and was about to fight back when she saw that the young man's purpose was not to do anything to him, but to quickly pull out a handful of raw green beans from his pocket and, to everyone's puzzled look, put them in his mouth and chewed them raw.

"There's probably no time to wait for the ambulance." Lü Ming swallowed the green beans with difficulty: "I need to fight poison with poison and force the toxins out of my body!"

[Pfft hahahaha! 】

Wow, this is hilarious!

[The amazing cat fights fire with fire!]

【genius! 】

[Discharged from hospital!]

Teacher Huang: "???"

He never dreamed that one day, Hu Ka would voluntarily eat the delicious food he had prepared in such a way and on such a occasion.

"Eating raw green beans won't help. I watched Teacher Huang's science popularization episode. Raw green beans aren't poisonous, and cooked green beans aren't poisonous either. Only half-cooked ones are poisonous." Wang Baoqiang quickly snatched the remaining green beans from Lü Ming's hand: "Teacher Huang, quick, get the pot ready and cook the green beans!"

"You're an expert in this area!"

Teacher Huang: “…”

Are you an expert?

I'm a pro, you're kidding me!
Teacher Huang pointed at the honest and simple-minded Wang Baoqiang, and laughed angrily: "I never expected that I would meet two such outstanding talents on this little variety show!"

"I lost!"

Because of the criticism from the outside world, he had learned his lesson and even washed the green beans before bringing them. Now, seeing Lü Ming eating with relish while Wang Baoqiang was egging him on, he slapped his thigh in frustration, regretting it deeply: "If only I had soaked them in sulfuric acid before coming and then stir-fried them with rat poison to enhance the flavor!"

The other guests: "..."

Is this what high-level gameplay looks like?

Their aggressiveness is something those low-ranked players can only dream of!
"Oh no!" Teacher Huang slapped his thigh, his smiling face instantly falling.

Wu Qian was overjoyed: "The green beans are spoiled?!"

"That stale coffee seems to have subtly insulted me again!"

"You're only just realizing it now?" Wu Qian was immediately embarrassed, then cursed, "This bastard didn't do anything important today, he just kept subtly criticizing us."

"I absolutely must have him tonight!"

"What's your plan?"

"Come here with your ears!"

……

Kiwi Fruit Headquarters.

Watching the live broadcast room buzz with its explosive entertainment value, Wang Gang had a bad feeling. Just then, the urgent ringing of the phone confirmed his suspicions. As soon as he answered, a hysterical roar came from the other end:
"Look what you've shoved in there! Does he even have a brain? Did a donkey kick his brain?"

“I told you from the beginning that I was worried about something going wrong, but you wouldn’t listen. Now look what’s happened. The sponsor wants to withdraw their investment, and the lawyer’s letter has already been sent to me. They’re suing us for ten times the amount in damages! Do you know how much that is? It’s an exclusive sponsorship! That’s enough to bankrupt you, you know?”

Although Gangzi found it troublesome, he was unconcerned about the popularity of the live stream.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Just because he says he's breaching the contract doesn't mean he'll breach it. What does the product problem have to do with us? If you want compensation, go to Huayue."

"Moreover, if the alcohol really is poisonous, we'll be in even bigger trouble. In a sense, Huka helped us avoid danger in an emergency!"

The person on the other end of the phone said incredulously, "So we should thank him?"

"May I ask, who is he to you?"

Wang Gang replied, "We've never met before."

"Then why are you defending him like this? Emergency evacuation, my foot! Whether the wine is poisoned or not, others may not know, but do you think we wouldn't? At most, it's just a matter of having a bit more technology; it has absolutely nothing to do with poisoning!"

"This guy is insane!"

"..."

Gangzi listened to the complaints on the other end of the phone for a while, then suddenly said, "Alright, if you want to withdraw your investment, then withdraw it. Just return the principal."

Do you know how much that costs?

"Is that a lot? Since the start of the broadcast, Kiwi VIP has 397 million renewed users and about 700,000 SVIPs. Let me do the math: 4 million member accounts is 80 million, and 700,000 SVIPs is 35 million. I can't even keep up with the total."

"Hey, look, I just refreshed the page, and guess what?"

"The average increase in the number of renewals is in the five figures!"

"Has Hunan TV been suppressing you for quite a while now? After the live broadcast ends, we'll post this data, and Hunan TV can just wait to become the industry leader!"

The person on the other end of the phone: “…”

After a long silence, the other person suddenly said, "I've always thought this child was good!"

The show's high popularity means that the exclusive title sponsor's departure midway through the season is not necessarily a bad thing; in fact, it's a good thing. After all, they haven't breached the contract, and they can find a new sponsor at a higher premium!
……

Huayue Headquarters.

The CEO had just gotten into his Maybach and was about to leave work when he suddenly heard the phone ringing urgently.

After the call connected, the other end said coldly, "One billion!"

"What ten billion?" Mr. Zhang asked, puzzled.

"The penalty for breach of contract plus compensation will conservatively be estimated at one billion!"

Mr. Zhang: ? ? ?

"Lu Ming, an artist under Huayue, maliciously defamed our products, causing RIO's brand value, accumulated over many years, to collapse, resulting in incalculable losses. The court will hear the case in a week. I will let you review your court materials later!"

"Either pay up, or go to court!"

Listening to his old friend on the other end of the phone speaking in a bureaucratic tone and with an official attitude, Mr. Zhang of Huayue realized the seriousness of the problem.

After hanging up the phone, he quickly saw the 'materials' sent by the other party.

A moment later, Mr. Zhang roared in fury: "Bullshit!"

……

Jingle Bell!
The moment Song Zhe answered the phone, he felt his eardrums vibrate: "Damn it, Song Zhe! Do you know how big of a mess you've made?"

"Ten billion! That's enough to buy the lives of you, your seven aunts and eighteen generations of relatives, and your ancestors for eighteen generations back ten times over!"

"You bastard, you'd better prepare to spend the rest of your life in jail!"

"I'll fucking swear at you! You're supposed to be a top agent, and you can't even manage the artists under your management? I'll fucking swear!"

On the other end of the phone, Mr. Zhang, using himself as the diameter, drew a circle around his family and launched into a ten-minute-long, intense barrage of questions.

Song Zhe was completely dumbfounded.

He was verbally abused mercilessly, and it wasn't until after the call ended that he racked his brains for a long time before he finally understood what had happened, the moment he watched the replay in the Kiwi live stream on his phone.

The sky is falling!
How dare he!

How dare you drink this filthy coffee?!
Song Zhe understood that if he couldn't give the company an explanation for this matter, his being fired would be a minor issue compared to the various troubles that would plague him for the rest of his life!
