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

"I'm busy!!!"

Chen Yi refused decisively, without even a second of hesitation.

He stood up and was about to walk towards the guest room.

Chen He grabbed his leg.

"Cousin! This is a lifesaver!"

"Let go of me [○･｀Д´･ ○]"

Chen Yi tried to shake his leg, but couldn't get it off.

"You're the only savior I've ever needed!"

Chen He clung to her stubbornly, refusing to let go.

"With your looks and your eloquence, it's a huge loss to the Chinese entertainment industry if you don't appear on variety shows!"

"I'm just an ordinary person who just got an offer from a big company."

Chen Yi looked down at Chen He on the ground.

"I don't want to be famous, and I certainly don't want to be made a fool of on TV."

"How can you call it watching a monkey?"

Chen He released his grip, stood up, and patted his pants.

He started firing off at a frenzy.

"Wow! The number one hit variety show in the country with the highest viewership ratings!"

"Do you know how many people would kill to get on our show?"

"If you go, you'll not only experience the treatment of a big star, but you'll also make a lot of connections!"

Chen Yi looked at him expressionlessly.

"Why would I, someone who works in internet operations, need connections in the entertainment industry? To fix your computers?"

Chen He was momentarily speechless.

He immediately changed his strategy.

"There's a fee for the appearance! I'll have Lao Wang pay you the standard rate for a second-tier celebrity! Three days of recording will earn you more than you would in several years of management work!"

"I don't lack money."

Chen Yi was completely unyielding.

"I have very low material desires; eight thousand a month is enough for me."

"Where's the beautiful girl?"

Chen He used his trump card.

He leaned close to Chen Yi's ear and lowered his voice.

"This episode's female guest is Hanikezi! A stunning beauty from Xinjiang! Her looks and figure are absolutely amazing!"

"Aren't you single? This is a perfect opportunity to date on company money!"

Chen Yi sighed and reached out to push away Chen He's face that was leaning towards him.

"Brother, save your breath."

"I'm not good enough for the beauties in your entertainment industry."

"Besides, if an ordinary person like me suddenly goes to record a show with a female celebrity, her fans will tear me to pieces after the show airs."

"I'm just here to freeload a meal, don't bother me, I'm going to take a shower and go to bed."

Chen Yi turned and left.

He really didn't want to get involved in this kind of trouble.

Recording a variety show? Are you kidding me?

He finds it annoying to even speak at university class meetings, let alone face dozens of cameras and a national audience.

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

Chen He gritted his teeth as he watched Chen Yi's retreating figure.

"Fine, you won't take the soft approach, huh?"

He took out his phone and skillfully dialed a number.

The phone was answered after ringing twice.

"Feeding? What are you doing in the middle of the night?"

A middle-aged woman's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Chen Yi suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He turned his head, his eyes wide open.

Chen He immediately switched to speakerphone.

"Auntie! Did I disturb your rest?"

Chen He smiled like a flower.

"No, I just finished watching the show. Did Chen Yi cause you any trouble while he was with you?"

"No way! My cousin is such a good boy!"

Chen He raised his eyebrows furiously at Chen Yi.

"Auntie, I have some really great news to tell you."

Chen Yi rushed over to grab the phone.

Chen He nimbly turned around to dodge and shouted loudly into the microphone.

"Our production team has one spot, and I'd like Chen Yi to appear on TV! To record a show with Deng Chao, Lu Han, and the others!"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

Then a high-decibel scream erupted.

"On TV?! On your husky?!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"Oh my god! Old Chen! Old Chen, come quick! Our son is going to be on TV!"

My aunt was so excited on the other end of the phone that she couldn't speak coherently.

Chen Yi's face darkened.

He shouted into the phone.

"Mom, don't listen to his nonsense, I'm not going!"

"Shut up!"

My aunt's voice instantly turned stern.

Bloodline suppression takes effect immediately.

Chen Yi shut his mouth.

"Your cousin is kindly giving you a chance, how dare you not take it?"

"Mom, I'm starting my new job next week..."

"So what if I'm on the job? Can't I take a few days off? Is your lousy company more important than being on TV?!"

"I'm an ordinary person, I don't know how to record TV shows..."

"If you don't know how, then learn from your cousin! Where's that same spirit you have when you talk back to me at home? Show it!"

My aunt made the final decision over the phone.

"Chen Yi, I'm telling you, you have to go! If you don't go, don't bother coming home for the New Year!"

"Chen He, keep an eye on him for me. This is settled! I'll post it on my WeChat Moments right now!"

With a beep.

The phone hangs up.

Chen He held up his phone, laughing arrogantly.

"So, cousin? You dare disobey your aunt's imperial decree?"

Chen Yisheng stared blankly at the ceiling.

He was pressured by his mother and cousin.

I'm caught in a dilemma ╮(╯▽╰)╭.

Go to hell, the company will die!

If I don't go, I won't even be able to go home (꒦_꒦).

Chen He walked over and patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, recording the show is very simple. Just follow me, and do whatever I tell you to do. I guarantee you'll..."

Chen He hadn't finished speaking.

Suddenly, a emotionless, mechanical electronic voice echoed in Chen Yi's mind.

"Ding!"

"Host detected is about to enter the variety show field..."

Chen Yi was stunned.

He shook his head, thinking he was hallucinating.

But the voice continued to echo clearly deep within his mind.

"【King of Variety Shows System】is being activated..."

"Activation successful!"

"Ding! Host has made their first appearance on a variety show, triggering a newbie gift pack!"

"Reward awarded: [Variety Show Perception Lv3]!"

Reward: [Impromptu Joke Library - Beginner Level]!

Reward: [Camera Sensitivity Lv2]!

Chen Yi stood still, his pupils slightly dilated.

He felt a massive influx of information rush into his brain.

The initial aversion to cameras and variety shows miraculously disappeared at this moment.

Instead, there is an absolute confidence in controlling the overall situation.

Chen He looked at Chen Yi, who was standing there in a daze, and waved his hand in front of his eyes.

"Cousin? Cousin, are you alright?"

"Don't scare me, if you really don't want to go..."

Chen Yi suddenly turned his head and looked at Chen He.

A slight smile curved his lips.

"Go!!"

Chen Yi's voice was eerily calm.

"Since you insist on dragging me into this."

"If Old Wang comes begging me to stay permanently, you'd better not regret it! (`へ´*)ノ"
