"Big brother..." Jiang Zhuo peeked out from the doorway.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Guanqing put down the book in his hand and asked curiously.

Jiang Zhuo looked around and, seeing no one was there, quickly slipped into Jiang Guanqing's room and closed the door tightly. "Big brother, I'm going to participate in a variety show in a week."

Jiang Guanqing nodded, "Yes, what's wrong?" He knew about this.

"Big brother, can't we bring one person with us when we go on the show? Would you like to come with me?"

Jiang Guanqing was somewhat surprised, and pointed to himself, "Me?"

Jiang Zhuo nodded firmly, "Yes." He hadn't been active for too long, and his agent had given him a bunch of collaborations to choose from. Filming would take a long time, so after looking around, this variety show was the most suitable.

Because "Me and Your Slow Country Life" is positioned as a slow-paced variety show, its viewership has been lukewarm. After several episodes, it was almost becoming an obscure variety show. When the director learned that Jiang Zhuo was interested in participating in the show, he was extremely excited. After all, this was Jiang Zhuo's first variety show appearance. He was particularly enthusiastic about it and said that as long as Jiang Zhuo was willing to come, he would set any conditions.

Just because the director said "make any offer", Jiang Zhuo was tempted. Her older brother had been in the hospital for so long because of his illness, and after returning home, he would either read books or just sit in a daze. This was a good opportunity to take her older brother out to play.

Jiang Guanqing lowered his eyes, his fingertips unconsciously tracing the edge of the book pages. "Xiao Zhuo, why don't you ask Xiao Ning and Xiao Ting? Xiao Ning would probably be very willing to go with you."

Jiang Zhuo felt disgusted at the thought of Jiang Ning; he had no intention of going with Jiang Xiaoliu.

"Big brother, why don't you go?" Jiang Zhuo was still unwilling to give up. If his older brother agreed, he could have his older brother all to himself. Moreover, through this program, everyone would definitely know that he was the older brother's favorite younger brother. Just thinking about it made Jiang Zhuo feel incredibly happy.

Jiang Guanqing certainly didn't want to go, but he wasn't feeling well and was afraid that going would bring trouble to Jiang Zhuo. "Xiao Zhuo, let's just forget about it..."

"Why?" Jiang Zhuo's voice lowered. "But I want my older brother to go with me."

Jiang Guanqing pursed her lips, "But I'm not in good health, and I'll be causing you trouble."

Jiang Zhuo felt a pang of sadness and quickly retorted, "No way."

Jiang Zhuo took out his phone and opened the Weibo comments on his official announcement of participating in "Me and Your Slow Country Life". "Brother, look, my fans all want you to participate, and so do your fans."

"My fans?" Jiang Guanqing was stunned for a moment, his eyes full of doubt.

"Yeah," Jiang Zhuo swiped the screen, his fingertip pausing on a highly-rated comment, "Last time you clarified things on your live stream, and during the Lunar New Year live stream, a lot of people became your fans. But since they couldn't find your Weibo account, they followed me instead."

Zhuozhuo Qihua: Brother Zhuo, bring your older brother along, I want to see him.

Plain Congee and Side Dishes: +10086! It's been several months since the last live stream, and I want to see Big Brother on a show.

Plain Congee and Side Dishes: @Me and Your Slow Country Life, is the director there? I'm here to give you some buzz. If you know what's good for you, invite the big brother over. Do you understand the secret to ratings?

Operations Dog: Zhuo Ge's variety show debut + Big Brother's variety show debut, this lineup must make the director laugh in his sleep! Please, please, just pack Big Brother up and take him away!

Dear Qingqing: Am I the only one who wants to see my older brother planting vegetables? The contrast between this gentle beauty covered in mud is just...awful!

Plain Congee and Side Dishes: @亭亭玉立 To be honest, I also want to see it, but it seems like my older brother isn't in very good health.

Zhuozhuo Qihua: Director, listen to me! I'm going to buy a ten-year membership, and I mean it!

Passerby A: Just a random passerby, who is this guy? But seeing how crazy the comments section is, I'm suddenly a little curious...

Qingfengmingyue: @PasserbyA is Jiang Zhuo's older brother. Investing in him is definitely worthwhile! He's a gentle, sickly beauty, and also the president of Yuehua Group. The only downside is that he hasn't debuted yet and doesn't have a Weibo account. [Crying] [Crying]

Dear Qingqing: I'm suddenly so envious of Zhuo-ge, he gets to see Big Brother every day... Zhuo-ge, please take Big Brother with you, don't force me to beg you.

Qingfengmingyue: @Me and Your Slow-Pastoral Life Director, as long as Big Brother is around, set up a special camera angle for him and livestream him spacing out 24/7. I could watch all day long.

Congee and side dishes: Upstairs +1! A slow-paced variety show paired with a beautiful woman, a perfect match, a match made in heaven!

Jiang Zhuo scrolled down and saw a flood of comments like "Brother, please help me," "I don't want to watch without a brother," with a few occasionally tagging him and making him wail in frustration.

Jiang Zhuo handed the phone back to his older brother, saying, "The public's demands are so high, brother, why don't you just satisfy the people's spiritual needs?"

Jiang Guanqing stared at the screen full of creative shouts, a faint blush creeping up his ears. His fingers unconsciously curled the corner of the book page, and he remained silent for a long time.

Seeing that Jiang Guanqing still had reservations, Jiang Zhuo continued to persuade him, "Brother, this show is positioned as a slow-paced variety show. You don't have to run or jump. You can go to the countryside for a few days, grow some vegetables, and cook some meals. It'll be very relaxing. Brother, you've been in the hospital for so long. Just think of it as getting some fresh air, okay?"

Jiang Guanqing lowered his eyes, his gaze falling on the comment about the 24-hour live stream where he was lost in thought, and the corners of his lips unconsciously curved into a smile.

Jiang Zhuo noticed this, her eyes lit up, and she snuggled against Jiang Guanqing's shoulder, softening her voice, "Big brother, why don't you give it a try?"

Looking at the expectation in Jiang Zhuo's eyes, Jiang Guanqing said, "Okay."

Jiang Zhuo was overjoyed and almost jumped up. "Big brother, I love you the most!"

After finishing their business, Jiang Zhuo was reluctant to leave and sat down next to Jiang Guanqing with practiced ease.

Jiang Guanqing picked up the book again, while Jiang Zhuo happily looked at the comments on his phone, liking every comment that praised his elder brother.

A dozen minutes later, Jiang Zhuo received a call from her agent, Zuo Ruoyan. Realizing what was happening, Jiang Zhuo sat up abruptly.

"Big brother, I'm going out for a bit." Jiang Zhuo took his phone and quickly left the room.

The moment the call connected, Zuo Ruoyan's somewhat irritable voice came through, "Jiang Zhuo, have you gone crazy with likes and comments?"

Jiang Zhuo closed the door behind him, leaned against the wall in the hallway, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Zuo Ruoyan took a deep breath. "What's wrong? You clicked on more than 300 comments in one go, all of them related to President Jiang. Now the trending topic is already on the rise."

Jiang Zhuo was taken aback, then opened Weibo and sure enough, he saw his name prominently displayed at the bottom of the trending topics. Clicking on it revealed a flurry of screenshots and celebrations from fans.

#JiangZhuoGeFan#

Zhuozhuoqihua: I took a screenshot. Zhuoge liked my comment, so I guess even the big brother saw it!!!

Plain Congee and Side Dishes: Hahaha, Zhuo-ge, tone it down! With that kind of like speed, I thought your account had been hacked.

Operations guy: LOL, Brother Zhuo is in the late stages of mind control.

Jiang Zhuo's lips curled up involuntarily. "My hand slipped."

Zuo Ruoyan sneered, "Your hand slipped more than three hundred times?"

"You better tone it down. Next time you want to like something, use your alternate account instead of messing around with your verified main account."

"Okay, I understand." Jiang Zhuo readily agreed to Zuo Ruoyan's warning, but then secretly liked several posts on her main account.

"By the way, Sister Ruoyan, my older brother agreed to go on a variety show with me."

Zuo Ruoyan was taken aback. "President Jiang agreed?"

"Hmm." Jiang Zhuo made no attempt to hide his smugness.

"Okay, then I'll tell the show's director to stop messing around."

"Okay, I'll handle the director's communication myself."

"OK."
