Quick wear: cannon fodder is a bit strong

Chen Jiayi declined the invitation at that time as she didn't really want to go.

But Meng Qian, probably due to her enthusiasm for her new career, sat down to drink a cup of coffee with her and spent a long time promoting the charm of talk shows to her. Finally, she smiled and said:

"Actually, I think you can give it a try, Jiayi. If you succeed, you'll gain both fame and fortune."

She winked playfully:

"How are you, old classmate? I remember that you got pretty good marks in the critical thinking class. Are you interested in giving it a try? I can provide you with a debut stage~"

Chen Jiayi: “…”

Not interested at all.

She had never been a good student since she was little. She had even less artistic talent. She hated the days when her mother forced her to go to school and take extra classes. She also forced her to attend concerts and plays, claiming they were meant to improve her artistic skills, but she would always doze off.

As for this talk show, what's so good about it? She might as well stay at home and spend time with her brother Jiabao.

Researching some delicious food for Jiabao will also make him happy.

However, for the sake of face and to maintain her few remaining friendships with classmates, she politely accepted the two VIP tickets.

The two tickets are still in her pocket...

Chen Jiayi reached into her pocket and squeezed the two hard tickets, as if the two tickets would lead to an unknown and mysterious place.

At this moment, a sense of courage suddenly emerged in her heart, or perhaps an idea flashed through her confused heart like a light.

Maybe...she could try?

Since Meng Qian said she could do it, then maybe she could. If she could succeed, maybe she could pave a way for Jiabao.

Forget it, it’s too early to think about these things. Let’s go and take a look first.

She hasn't even seen a serious stand-up comedy performance yet.

So, the next afternoon, Chen Jiayi prepared dinner for the whole family in advance. She didn't have time to eat, looked at the time, opened her wardrobe, put on her best clothes, and took a taxi to the theater Meng Qian mentioned.

The show has begun and the theater is packed. It seems business is really good.

VIP tickets were in the first row, so she slipped in and sat there, conspicuously. Chen Jiayi, preoccupied with some possibility, watched the performance with extra care, mentally trying to understand the performers' techniques.

Especially after watching the performances of several talk show hosts in succession, she felt that they were nothing special.

At this moment, Meng Qian walked to the front desk and saw Chen Jiayi from a distance. She immediately ran over and grabbed Chen Jiayi's arm:

"Great, Jiayi, you're here, just in time to save the day. Hurry, hurry!"

The next performer happened to have diarrhea and was constantly running to the bathroom, clearly unable to perform. And the next performer hadn't arrived yet. Seeing the theater was about to empty, she was extremely anxious.

When he saw Chen Jiayi, his eyes turned and he suddenly had an idea.

"No, no!"

Chen Jiayi waved her hands repeatedly: "I haven't prepared anything yet, how could I say this?"

"Oh," Meng Qian said unconcernedly.

"No need to say how great it is, just express yourself freely. Besides, you are wearing such a beautiful outfit today. Isn't this a ready-made performance costume? Don't be so modest."

Chen Jiayi stepped back: "But I'm on stage, what can I say? I can't just stand there like an idiot."

Meng Qian pushed her onto the stage and said:

"Just say whatever's on your mind? Yeah, didn't you always complain about your mom being too controlling of you? Every time you started ranting about it, you wouldn't stop for three days and three nights. Sometimes it was just a joke...otherwise, you'd talk about your husband or your mother-in-law!"

While putting a microphone into her arms:

"Go, go, I'm watching you!"

After saying this, he hurried downstairs to find other substitute actors.

——Even if Chen Jiayi is really not capable, she can't let the empty city plan be staged.

Chen Jiayi was pushed and staggered onto the stage with the microphone in her hand, looking confused.

She looked so funny that the audience thought she was acting out a comedy routine, and they immediately applauded and laughed happily.

Some even whistled.

Somehow, this applause caused by misunderstanding gave Chen Jiayi some confidence and self-confidence.

It was as if a feeling in the dark told her that this stage belonged to her. She should not be afraid, she should put on a pair of beautiful wings here and fly high from then on.

So, almost in an instant, Chen Jiayi, who was holding the microphone tightly, relaxed.

She smiled and said:

"Dear uncles, aunts, sisters and brothers, thank you for your applause..."

"Today, I'm taking the stage on short notice and don't have any ready-made jokes, but I can chat with everyone about my growth over the years..."

"Perhaps you will say, 'What's so great about this? Aren't we all the same?' But once you hear me finish, you'll realize..."

"We...are different!"

Thanks to the various classes such as speech and acting classes that the original owner had enrolled Chen Jiayi in when she was a child, Chen Jiayi was able to calm down and start her impromptu performance.

Not to mention, her determined look and suspenseful tone at this moment immediately made the audience below feel extremely excited, and some even clapped vigorously.

Chen Jiayi added:

"The reason why it's different is mainly because I have a special mother..."

Chen Jiayi held up the microphone:

"Let me tell you a few things about my childhood. Have you ever had this experience? There's a kind of maternal love that makes your mother feel like you're not full..."

The audience immediately laughed knowingly, and many people instantly resonated with her and were interested in listening to her next performance.

As Chen Jiayi was speaking, the subject suddenly changed.

"Who among you could believe that someone would be chased for six blocks by their own mother, carrying a bowl in her hand, just because they didn't finish a bite of food..."

"Six streets away! Even dogs at home are not chased like this."

There was a burst of laughter from the audience.

"I seriously suspected that my mother's surname was not Lin, but Rong, commonly known as Rong Mama."

There was another burst of laughter from the audience.

Chen Jiayi continued:

"When I grew up, I thought countless times about what would have happened if I hadn't eaten that meal..."

She held up the microphone and asked sincerely: "Will I die?"

The audience roared with laughter once again. Clearly, everyone's unspoken answer was no.

Then she asked herself:

"Although I don't know if I would die if I didn't eat that meal, I do know that I ran six blocks and was almost exhausted..."

Meng Qian in the audience took the lead and clapped hard.

She breathed a long sigh of relief. It seemed that the substitute actor prepared later would not have to go on stage.

It was indeed a sudden decision that pushed Chen Jiayi to the stage. I didn't expect that Chen Jiayi was really talented in stand-up comedy.

The emotions of the audience in the stands were obviously aroused, and she had a hunch: Chen Jiayi might be the next talk show celebrity to come out of her.

At this time, Chen Jiayi, who had already stepped off the stage, was so excited that her adrenaline surged and her face flushed red.

The praise and applause made her feel as if her whole body was opened up and her Ren and Du meridians were opened up, making her feel extremely comfortable and refreshed.
