My cousin asked me to go to Wuha, and Hanikezi stuck to me.

"Chen Yi, can you leave me a piece of tripe?"

Chen He tapped the edge of the hot pot with his chopsticks and glared at the young man opposite him.

With a flick of his wrist, Chen Yi used a slotted spoon to precisely scoop the last piece of tripe, which had been scalded until slightly curled, into his bowl.

He dipped it in minced garlic and sesame oil, then ate it in one bite.

"Brother, you're the one who invited me to this hot pot meal."

Chen Yi put down his chopsticks and took a tissue to wipe his mouth.

"I came all the way from my hometown to Shanghai to visit you, and you can't even bear to part with a piece of tripe?"

Chen He was so angry that he slammed his fist on the table.

"That was the last one! I stared at it for a full thirty seconds!"

"Thirty seconds is enough time for a good piece of tripe to become too tough to chew."

Chen Yi picked up the iced cola and took a big gulp.

"This shows you don't understand hot pot at all. I'm just helping you cut your losses."

Chen He pointed at Chen Yi's nose, but couldn't utter a word for a long time.

His cousin had a handsome, clean-cut face that could fool any girl since he was a child, but unfortunately, he had a mouth that could drive anyone crazy.

Chen He changed the subject and poured a plate of fatty beef into the pot.

"You're starting at that lousy internet company next week, right?"

"Um."

Chen Yi nodded.

"Reporting in next Monday; I'm currently unemployed."

Chen He leaned back in his chair and began to adopt the airs of an elder.

"Let me tell you, working isn't as fun as you think. Do you think it's easy to be a new employee? You have to watch your boss's face every day and deal with your colleagues."

Chen Yi used a strainer to stir the red soup.

"It's better than you recording a variety show, isn't it?"

"You don't know anything!"

Upon hearing this, Chen He immediately raised his voice.

"Is recording this with five 'ha' cameras even something a human would do?!"

He started counting on his fingers.

"That old man Deng Chao is always causing trouble, he's full of bad ideas. Lu Han runs faster than a rabbit, and my old back is following them all over the world, taking at least 20,000 steps a day!"

"You think we're all smiles on the show? Do you know how exhausted we are behind the scenes?"

Chen He became more and more excited as he spoke, reaching out to scoop up the fatty beef from the pot.

Chen Yi blocked him with a chopstick.

"So you get eight figures for recording one season of a show, while I'll start working next week and get eight thousand a month."

Chen Yi put all the beef slices into his own bowl.

"You're eating meat that costs tens of dollars a plate, and you're complaining to me, a soon-to-be office worker, about how hard it is to earn money?"

Chen He's hand froze in mid-air, and he opened his mouth.

"Chen Yi, how can you have such a sharp tongue? What did your aunt teach you?!"

Chen Yi didn't even look up.

"My mom says, when you're out and about, you can't let anyone take advantage of you! Especially not wealthy relatives!"

"How have I taken advantage of you!"

Chen He jumped up and down.

"You just tried to crush my eight thousand dollars of happiness with your eight-figure worries."

Chen Yi ate all the fatty beef in his bowl.

"This is the exploitation of the spiritual capitalists."

Chen He was completely speechless.

He discovered that someone who made a living by talking on variety shows couldn't gain any advantage over his cousin, who had just graduated from university.

They catch jokes incredibly fast, and the angles at which they throw out jokes are ridiculously tricky.

The key is that this guy didn't show any emotional fluctuations at all, just used the most casual and calm tone to stab you in the heart one knife at a time.

Chen He picked up his cup and took a sip of water.

"Okay, I won't argue with you today. I finally got a break these past few days, and I have to go record again the day after tomorrow."

"Where should we record it?" Chen Yi asked casually.

"It's a confidentiality agreement, I can't say."

Chen He raised an eyebrow, deliberately keeping everyone in suspense.

"Oh, then I won't listen."

Chen Yi took out his phone and opened the Candy Crush game.

Chen He got anxious.

"Why don't you ever play by the rules! Don't you watch 'Five Dogs'?"

"I won't watch!"

Why?

"Seeing you being bullied by Deng Chao, I'm afraid I won't be able to help but laugh out loud and it will affect our brotherly relationship."
