Chapter 270 The Running Man cast visits Chen Xiu's live stream

Inside the office of Yixin Entertainment.

Listening to Yang Tianzhen's incessant talking on the phone without any resolution, Lu Han frowned with impatience.

Although he didn't know who was messing with him, it wasn't a big deal.

We were planning to go public anyway, but now that it's been discovered, we might as well just let things take their course...

"Little Deer, we have the results."

"What's the result?"

Lu Han looked up at Yang Tianzhen and saw her nimbly walk out from behind the desk and sit down on the sofa, her expression a mixture of confusion and anxiety.

The sofa creaked under Yang Tianzhen's pressure, causing Lu Han to glance at it unconsciously.

Before he could distract himself, Yang Tianzhen had already leaned forward and explained the situation of the phone calls he had just received.

“Blueberry TV won’t care about this. They said that Dilraba was just filling in for someone else, and that Angelababy will continue to host the second season. So they have limited control over Dilraba and can’t stop her from speaking during the live broadcast.”

"It's only natural for her to want to clarify the rumors. What I want to know is, when should we speak out?"

"This is what I wanted to tell you. The news on Weibo was probably spread intentionally by someone to divert attention from Reba and drag you into it. I suggest you deny it for now..."

"Denial what? Xiaotong is my girlfriend! What's there to deny?"

Lu Han stared at Yang Tianzhen with a furious reaction, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

He thought to himself: If you hadn't stopped me, I would have officially announced it on Weibo yesterday. Xiaotong is being chased and scolded by people now, and you still want me to deny it?
Seeing Lu Han's strong resistance to the suggestion, Yang Tianzhen helplessly pursed his lips and could only try to persuade her: "Let's just deny it for now, appease the fans first, and then make an official announcement in a year or two."

Are you worried that if I announce it publicly, it will affect my work?

Lu Han squinted and said in a sarcastic tone.

He's too young and hasn't experienced any setbacks. He tends to make assumptions about things and things. Some things are better left unsaid; it's better to keep them to yourselves.

Yang Tianzhen felt a tightness in his chest, but he couldn't be angry at the cash cow: "That's not what I meant. It's just that the fans aren't mentally prepared yet, and you just went public with it. So everyone might find it a little hard to accept."

"There's nothing I can't accept. I was planning to go public anyway, and it's just a few months earlier than expected, so it's not a big problem."

Lu Han stubbornly shook his head, refusing to listen to Yang Tianzhen's advice at all.

Yang Tianzhen was furious, thinking: How did I end up with such a love-obsessed person? Damn it, how can dating be more important than making money?!

Seeing that Lu Han had made up his mind, Yang Tianzhen sighed and said, "Blueberry TV suggested that you could do a live stream on Douyin and have a PK with Reba to generate buzz for 'Running Man'. I originally wanted you to clarify things during the PK... So, are you still going to have the PK now?"

"Live PK?"

A strange expression appeared on Lu Han's face.

He pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Could I team up with Chen Xiu for a duel?"

"How could you have such an idea?"

"He likes to do live streams with others so much, and he's a celebrity himself, so if I want to do a PK with someone, I'll definitely choose him. Dilraba doesn't have much popularity, and if I do a PK with her, I'll have to worry about her taking over my viewership."

"..."

Yang Tianzhen stared blankly at Lu Han, thinking that as long as the topic of romance was not involved, he was actually quite shrewd.

In fact, Lu Han debuted as a trainee in South Korea and was already very familiar with how to generate online traffic. At the same time, he also knew that there would always be people who wanted to ride on his popularity to rise to the top.

"Mr. Chen, he probably won't have time to compete with you."

"Could you ask him for me? Maybe he's free. Dilraba is his artist too. If she says something inappropriate in the live stream, shouldn't he be held responsible?"

Lu Han's wild and delusional words made Yang Tianzhen subtly shift his body backward, directly rejecting the idea.

However, after his repeated requests, Yang Tianzhen had no choice but to give it a try and called Yang Ming, the artist management director of Datang Pictures.

"Mr. Yang, hello, it's just that online these past two days..."

Listening to Yang Tianzhen's phone conversation, Lu Han's eyes were filled with anticipation.

After the call ended, he kept urging Yang Tianzhen with his eyes.

"Yang Ming said he'd ask for me, but you'd better not get your hopes up too high..."

Before he could finish speaking, the phone rang. After answering the call, Yang Tianzhen's expression underwent a series of dramatic changes before he awkwardly hung up.

Lu Han asked anxiously, "How is it?"

"Yang Ming said that President Chen is willing to do a live broadcast with you, but it's not a PK."

"What do you mean?"

"Right now, 'Running Man' is very popular. Mr. Chen can prepare a special live broadcast and have the Running Man brothers appear on camera with him. Of course, Reba will also be in it. It just depends on whether you are willing to go."

Yang Tianzhen looked at Lu Han with hesitation, but in his heart he thought Lu Han was formidable.

Chen Xiu's various live streams in the past few months have already attracted a large amount of traffic to Douyin. In addition, the continuous updates from the official account of "Three Lives Three Worlds" are also driving traffic to Douyin.

Now, his willingness to invite the cast of "Running Man" to appear on screen together is probably also for the purpose of attracting viewers.

Every move was based on maximizing profits, and it would also help Reba completely erase the impact of the scandal... Yang Tianzhen felt he couldn't match the depth of their intentions. Lu Han, however, wasn't thinking that far ahead; he was only wondering about one thing: "Why is Chen Xiu unwilling to PK with me?"

You think you're worthy? You really think Chen Xiu is a star?
Didn't you see that during his last live stream with Ma Yun, Yang Mi, Liu Qianqian, and the others were just relegated to the background?

Yang Tianzhen was screaming in his heart, but what he said was as sweet as honey: "Maybe he's worried that he's not as popular as you and that losing the PK wouldn't look good."

"Oh, yes, it really doesn't look very good."

Lu Han nodded in deep agreement, which made Yang Tianzhen's lips curl into a sneer as he inwardly grumbled.

"I'm willing to go, but would the other members of 'Running Man' be willing to go?"

“Reba is definitely fine. As for the remaining Deng Chao, Li Chen, and Zheng Kai, if two of them can go, the matter will be settled. There is no need for all members to be present.”

"Sure! No problem. We can announce it during the live stream..."

"Please do not!"

Yang Tianzhen quickly stopped him, fearing that Lu Han's immature behavior would anger Chen Xiu.

Seeing Lu Han's face suddenly darken, she said with a mix of anger and helplessness, "If you want to make it official, just post it on Weibo yourself. There's no need to do this during the live stream. After all, this is work."

"Um... okay! I'll send it now."

After saying that, Lu Han immediately took out his phone and contacted Guan Xiaotong.

……

"Hello everyone, let me introduce you, this is my girlfriend @Guan Xiaotong"

A simple official announcement actually caused Weibo's system to crash.

At the same time, Lu Han's fans also completely lost hope and began to unfollow him.

Fortunately, the base number is huge, so a slight drop is not too noticeable.

Just as everyone's attention was drawn to Lu Han's Weibo post and the Weibo system returned to normal, he immediately posted a second Weibo post.

"Next week, April 28th, the third episode of 'Keep Running' will be released. The Running Man cast will be guests on Chen Xiu's live stream. We hope everyone will support them! @ChenXiu"

Although the shockwave from this Weibo post wasn't as dramatic as the official announcement, it still piqued the interest of many fans and onlookers.

Subsequently, replies from Deng Chao, Wang Zulan, Zheng Kai, and others confirmed this situation.

Since the premiere of "Keep Running", first Dilraba and Lu Han were caught up in the "Lu Di CP" rumors, then Dilraba was criticized, then Lu Han was exposed to have a real girlfriend, Dilraba went on Douyin live to clarify, and finally Lu Han made an official announcement, and the entire Running Man team went on Douyin live...

The series of events is getting more and more exciting.

Chen Xiu originally only wanted Reba to use a live broadcast to speak out and clarify things for him; he had no intention of getting involved himself.

As it turned out, things took a sudden turn when it came to Lu Han. The other party actually had the audacious idea of ​​wanting to have a live PK battle with him.

When faced with Yang Ming's request, Chen Xiu initially wanted to refuse outright, but then she thought that since the matter had already caused such a stir, why not make good use of it and use it to drive traffic to Douyin?

Therefore, Chen Xiu declined the invitation to a live PK and instead invited the Running Man cast to accompany him on a live stream.

One Lu Han isn't enough; we need to add A-list celebrities like Deng Chao and Zheng Kai to make it even better.

By leveraging their popularity to drive traffic to Douyin (TikTok), and incidentally helping Reba (a popular live-streaming platform) to completely clarify the rumors, Chen Xiu felt that this live stream was worth doing.

Just as both sides reached an agreement and all preparations were completed, on the morning of the 28th, the Running Man cast arrived at Douyin Company together.

Lu Han arrived at the lounge a step earlier. When he saw Deng Chao, Li Chen, Chen Chichi, Zheng Kai, Wang Zulan, and Da Baby leading their assistants in, he greeted them warmly with hugs.

"Hello everyone, brothers and sisters."

"Little Deer, you're here early!"

"I live relatively close by, so I came early."

"Where's Reba? Hasn't she arrived yet?"

Deng Chao's question made Lu Han's smile freeze.

Although he had nothing going on with Reba and has now officially announced his relationship with Guan Xiaotong, this incident has pushed their already strained relationship to a freezing point.

Noticing the change in his expression, the others fell silent. Then, the door to the lounge was pushed open, and a clear, bell-like sound suddenly reached everyone's ears.

Hello everyone!

When they turned around, they saw Dilraba running towards them with her assistant.

Compared to their enthusiasm when they met Lu Han earlier, Deng Chao and the others were much less enthusiastic when Reba greeted them.

Reba didn't take it to heart and remained enthusiastic. Even when facing Lu Han, she greeted him with a smile, as if there were no barriers between them.

Just as everyone finished greeting each other, the door was pushed open for the third time. Upon seeing who it was, everyone involuntarily stood up, staring at the doorway, speechless.

Chen Xiu stood at the door, looked around at the Running Man cast from left to right, and chuckled.

"Hello everyone, I hope you will give me your guidance during the live stream later."
