The eldest lady became popular in the farming variety show

Director Chen sat behind the desk in the tile-roofed house without saying a word.

The assistant director looked at him, pushed the open notebook in front of him, and said carefully:

"I received a lot of calls from producers, agents and investors today. They recommended me candidates for replacement guests. This is the summary list."

"There is a top idol who is willing to lower his price to participate in the program. The other two who stand out are an international supermodel and a national goddess. Director, you can take a look at the names circled in the book."

"Those agents said that they came here to work in the countryside and farm. They are not pretentious or artificial, and they can definitely endure this hardship."

Director Chen closed the notebook and said without even glancing at it:

"Did I say anything about looking for a replacement guest?"

"Director Chen, how should we explain this to Lizhi TV?"

The assistant director reminded him, "In order to be broadcast on satellite TV, we signed a contract with the main station. If the regular guests change, the main station has the right to decide who will be the replacement guests."

"Yes," Director Chen snorted coldly, "That depends on how much power I give to the station."

"So we have to strike first."

The assistant director was so anxious that his face changed. "Instead of letting the station insert a relative like Nan Xi last time, messing up the farming variety show, why don't we take the initiative to select this person!"

He pointed at the notebook and said, "In terms of fame, ability, and character, these are the best of the best. You can pick any one."

Director Chen knocked a cigarette out of the cigarette box, lit it, took a deep puff and said:

"There's a saying that goes 'It's easier to invite a god than to send him away', and that's what it means to be a big star. Do you understand?"

The assistant director looked at him as if he understood something, but didn't dare to say anything.

Director Chen exhaled a cloud of white smoke and continued to instruct him:

"There's also a phrase called 'a cuckoo taking over a magpie's nest'. Do you understand it now?"

The assistant director roughly understood what he meant and silently took back the notebook on the table.

Director Chen made it clear:

"You have to think about whether this replacement guest will stay or go in a month. Should she leave or stay?"

"Anyway, I will definitely not keep anyone here. They are helping us in times of need, but we are just trying to destroy the bridge. The agent can use the contract as an excuse, but what can you use to shut up the fans?"

"Director Chen, I was wrong. I knew it was a hornet's nest, but I shouldn't have used a stick to kick it in the first place."

The assistant director figured out the twists and turns, "What does the headquarters mean now?"

Director Chen crushed his cigarette butt, and was so annoyed that he didn't even want to smoke:

"The director called me personally and recommended someone to me."

"Who has such a strong backing that the station manager could call you?"

"Liu Yuxi."

Director Chen was reluctant to agree at the time, but it was not easy to refuse directly, so he could only give a vague answer:

"The director asked me to use this person, both explicitly and implicitly, and his attitude was very tough."

Assistant Director: "Liu Yuxi is a recognized fairy in the circle. Director, will you use her?"

"You should ask me if I dare to use her."

Director Chen sees through everything:

"I didn't even mention looking for a replacement guest, but messages started flying all over the internet. First there was a vote for the best candidate and he was put on the hot list, and then the station director personally recommended him."

"There's not even a single word about this matter, but it's already caused so much trouble. How can I dare to employ this person?"

The assistant director then realized how deep the water behind this was.

"The person I'm most worried about is Jiang Hexi."

"Sister Xi?"

Director Chen said worriedly, "She had such a big incident here, I'm afraid her family won't agree to her participating in our farming variety show again."

This is also the reason why he is determined not to use a substitute guest. The seat of the permanent guest must be left vacant to show the sincerity of the program team in inviting her back.

Jiang Hexi had a high fever for three consecutive days.

On the fourth day, her fever did not rise above 39 degrees. She leaned on the head of the bed and drank porridge, and finally felt a little more energetic.

"Don't be too serious about things in the future. If you take things too seriously, you'll end up in a dead end and can't get out."

Jiang Wenze was peeling an apple and said to her:

"Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your parents. When mom saw you lying on the hospital bed, your face was paler than the bed sheet, and she almost fainted from crying."

Jiang Hexi put down the spoon, feeling very upset. She shouted:

"Brother...I was wrong..."

"You didn't do anything wrong. Just understand that you can't be stubborn."

Jiang Wen Ze tried to persuade her indirectly and never mentioned the farming variety show.

He handed the chopped apple to her.

Jiang Hexi ate two pieces of apple, but couldn't taste anything in his mouth. He shook his head sickly and stopped eating.

"What do you want to eat? I'll go out and buy it for you."

"No...I have a sore throat..."

She lowered her head, as if she had made a mistake as a child, and said nothing, immersed in her own sad mood, unable to extricate herself.

Jiang Wenze immediately realized that what he had just said was too harsh, and was about to apologize, when he heard her hoarse voice:

"Brother, this time... I don't want... you to cover the whole thing..."

Jiang Hexi looked at him resolutely and said, "I made this mess...I have to clean it up myself..."

Jiang Wenze thought about it and nodded at her, "Brother promises you that he will never interfere in this matter."

Jiang Hexi felt sleepy again and soon fell asleep while lying on the hospital bed.

Jiang Wen Ze stayed in the ward, watching the liquid from the IV drip into her body, and it was hard to swallow.

Originally, this was an accident. My younger sister had poor resistance and weak psychological quality, so it was no one’s fault that she fell ill.

But now the trend of public opinion on the Internet is becoming more and more outrageous, to the point that he can no longer ignore it.

While my younger sister is still lying in the hospital, the production crew couldn't wait to start hyping up the replacement candidates.

First, Liu Yuxi was voted for online, allowing her to stand out from many stars with a far leading number of votes. Then Lizhi TV came forward to claim the award, admitting that it was in further discussions with Liu Yuxi on cooperation matters.

So much so that rumors were spreading online that it was a foregone conclusion that Xiaomei would be replaced by Liu Yuxi, and the program crew allowed public opinion to ferment and did not come forward to clarify the facts.

This clumsy marketing strategy is full of malice towards me.

He didn't tell his younger sister about these troubles because he wanted to step up and settle the matter.

Jiang Wen Ze had a financial interview scheduled in the evening.

He talked a lot about business investment.

The host changed the topic from career to life, and naturally talked about Jiang Hexi, and asked the question that the entire network was most concerned about:

"After Ximei recovers, will she participate in the next farming variety show?"

Jiang Wenze said coldly to the camera:

"Ah Xi's health is not well yet. I don't know if she will participate in the filming of the show after she recovers."

He paused and said solemnly, "But as her eldest brother, I can tell you very clearly that I don't want her to participate in this farming variety show again."
