The longed-for village system

Chapter 416 Hot Bar Membership Top-Up

Time flies, and the new episode of Back to Field has started filming again. This episode's guests are Dilraba and Yang Yang, who came to promote their new drama.

"Brother Chen, it's been a long time! You've gotten even more handsome."

Reba and Chen Qing had played many games together, and with Xiao Gu's connection, they were quite familiar with each other. However, Yangyang seemed much more reserved.

"Hello, Brother Chen, I'm actor Yangyang."

It's no wonder Yangyang was so reserved. Before he came, his company and agent had told him that he could offend anyone in the Mushroom House, but he couldn't offend Chen Qing.

"Hello Yangyang, welcome to the Mushroom House."

Chen Qing greeted Yangyang with a smile, assuming that Yangyang was younger than him, so he didn't use any honorifics.

Seeing that Yangyang was still a bit reserved, Teacher He was very enthusiastic in trying to find topics to ease the tension. "Hey Yangyang, the TV series you filmed this time is related to games, right? I remember that Xiao Chen also plays that game. We young people will definitely have something to talk about."

"Teacher He, don't you feel guilty saying that? I, a twenty-year-old, haven't even said anything yet!" Teacher Huang also joked, displaying his shameless spirit.

Hey! Who isn't a twenty-year-old young man at heart!

Teacher He rested his hands on his armpits with a proud look on his face, and Peng Peng next to him tried to imitate him, but unfortunately, the slightly chubby Peng Peng looked a bit like a penguin when he did this.

After being comforted by the others, Yangyang's tense nerves finally relaxed a bit, and she started promoting their new drama with Dilraba.

Chen Qing listened to the two's introduction. It turned out that their new drama revolved around pesticides, but the focus was still on their love story. The plot was just like any other idol drama.

"Brother Chen, remember to watch it! This is my first real leading role in a TV series," Reba said, turning to Chen Qing.

Although she had acted in many TV series before, and each of them generated a lot of buzz, she was always the second female lead. As a result, she was nicknamed the "female lead killer." This was her first leading role in a TV series, and she put the most effort into it.

"Sure, I can watch it! But you have to give me a membership first, right? You need a membership to watch your TV shows!"

While there aren't as many video websites in this world as in the previous one, there are still quite a few. Almost all of them require a membership to watch the latest TV series, movies, and variety shows, and Chen Qing didn't subscribe at all.

Zhao Xiaogu had originally activated the service, but he turned off automatic renewal the following month after using the phone. Mainly, he rarely looked at these things, so why waste a hundred or so yuan every month!

"No way, Brother Chen, you're a top-tier celebrity now, why would I need to pay for a membership?!"

Reba was puzzled. She had never heard of Brother Chen being stingy! With his current net worth of hundreds of millions, if not tens of millions, a membership only costs 20 yuan!

"There's nothing I can do, I'm very poor. All my money is with your Little Bone Sister. If she knew I opened a membership for a woman, would I still be able to sleep in bed?" Seeing Chen Qing's 'miserable' appearance, Reba reached out and patted Chen Qing's shoulder. "Little Chen, you've had it so hard. Okay! I'll open this membership for you."

If it weren't for the gloating expression on her face, Chen Qing would have felt somewhat relieved and touched. Unfortunately, her poor acting skills betrayed her true feelings.

However, Chen Qing didn't care. He directly opened various video websites, clicked on membership recharge, and then turned the QR code to Reba to signal her to start performing.

Everyone burst into laughter at Chen Qing's shameless behavior, and Yang Yang's tense nerves relaxed again. Reba, on the other hand, had no choice but to scan the code to pay the amount.

"Little Chen, you truly are a master of bargaining at our Mushroom House. Your ability to rip people off is amazing," Huang Sanshi teased Chen Qing with a smile.

"Brother Chen, I admire you. You truly are the man who makes the production team tremble with fear. I am ashamed of myself!" Peng Peng said with a smile, admitting defeat.

Chen Qing smiled and humbly accepted everyone's teasing, saying, "Not at all, it's just routine. It's mainly because Reba cooperated so well."

"Oh, not at all. The main thing is that you're shameless enough to ask me to pay for four website memberships. Remember to give me an invoice later. I need to ask the director for reimbursement. I'm really going all out for the TV series promotion."

"No problem, Mushroom House's VAT invoices can be reimbursed 4%, so overall you'll still make a profit. Look at our receptionists, chefs, and butlers, they're all handpicked. With four memberships, you really won't lose out or be cheated."

"Hmm, what you said makes a lot of sense. Remember me next time something like this happens, and I'll toast you first."

After the two finished their exchange, Teacher He took a moment to catch his breath and said, "You two are quite well-coordinated! You could put on a crosstalk performance."

"Hmm! I think it's a good idea. I can try it sometime."

Chen Qing smiled and responded, but of course, it was just a polite remark. With his skill level and ability, he could only amuse his friends in private, but he was definitely not qualified to perform on stage. Crosstalk is not that easy.

After playing and making a fuss, Chen Qing saw that Yangyang had completely relaxed before asking with a smile, "Don't you think I'm not that scary? I'm just an ordinary person with a pair of eyes, a nose, and a mouth."

Yangyang was taken aback when Chen Qing spoke to him. He hadn't expected that Chen Qing's playful antics were actually meant to help him relax. Yangyang was deeply moved and touched by Chen Qing's actions. After all, Chen Qing was a renowned doctor and a first-class meritorious official, yet he had done these things for him.

"Thank you, Brother Chen." Yangyang first expressed her gratitude, then changed her tone to "But Brother Chen, you are no ordinary person. In our eyes, you are a true prodigy."

Chen Qing didn't expect to receive such a comment after comforting Yangyang. His expression became quite speechless. "Sigh! Young people these days are too unconventional. They've only just started to get active and this is already happening. I'm very sad, Brother Chen! I won't be able to comfort them for more than a few quarterly members."

Hearing Chen Qing's words and seeing his expression, everyone burst into laughter again. Yangyang added insult to injury, "Although I call you brother, I'm actually older than you. I was born in 91."
