I controlled the entire Zerg race with my superb culinary skills.

Chu Yang, who was discussing cookies, saw Xu Le leading the director named Liu Yuejin, who had just been looking for him, toward them. It seemed that the two knew each other.

"Boss, please allow me to introduce you. This is Liu Yuejin. We were classmates and graduated from the directing department."

Although everyone had met before, Chu Yang still stood up and shook hands with Liu Yuejin out of politeness.

"Director Liu just spoke to me. I didn't expect you two to be classmates."

"Since you've already contacted them, you should know the details. So, boss, please sign the contract for the variety show appearance."

Xu Le handed the contract he got from Liu Yuejin to Chu Yang with both hands. He had read the contents of the contract and there were no hidden traps. Although the pay was lower than the other two male insects, the filming period was only one week.

Liu Yuejin, who was initially a little apprehensive, was completely stunned by Xu Le's move. Didn't he say that the decision-making power was not in his hands?

He pursed his lips, somewhat reluctant, but the tacit understanding between him and Xu Le in signing contracts had reached the point of muscle memory. The moment he took out the contract and pen, Chu Yang had already taken the pen and signed it with a flourish.

"Thank you, Your Excellency Chu Yang. This variety show filming will be broadcast live for seven days. Our production team will have a dedicated staff member to coordinate the filming."

Holding the signed contract, Liu Yuejin spoke with a trembling voice, the contract so tightly it was almost twisted into a large knot.

"Okay, you can discuss the specifics with Xu Le later."

At this Interstellar Alliance investment conference, Chu Yang, as the focus of everyone's attention, brought many investment projects to Planet D06. Of course, these investment projects all had some influence from the Chu Group.

Liu Yuejin, who returned to planet B066 overnight, was overjoyed and took the contract signed by Chu Yang to his department. Everyone excitedly worked overtime to rush out the publicity plan for the three male insects.

The variety show's premiere date was set for May 1st. Prior to that, Liu Yuejin and his team conducted a mysterious promotional campaign. There have been quite a few variety shows about male insects before, but the content was all pretty much the same, and they gradually lost their appeal. Therefore, this time, the promotional materials didn't generate much of a response when they were released.

"Director, there are bugs outside looking for you."

Liu Yuejin, who was planning new promotional materials, was reminded by his colleagues in the group.

"It's a green-haired worm..."

Before his colleague could finish speaking, Liu Yuejin ran outside. The one with green hair was definitely Xu Le.

"It really is you. Come, come, come to my office and have a seat."

In the vast television station base, the space belonging to Liu Yuejin's group was pitifully small and quite remote. The old glass door had the words "Variety Department" written on it, and inside sat five or six people who looked like recent graduates.

"Hehe, please excuse my poor performance. Come, sit here. Xiao Wen, quickly go and pour Secretary Xu a glass of water."

Xiao Wen haphazardly picked up a pile of documents from the desk and moved them aside, clearing a small clean area. He then took out the new set of cups that he had always been reluctant to use in the office, poured a cup of warm water and handed it to Xu Le, while placing the other cup next to Liu Yuejin.

"Xu Le, what do you need me for?"

Although he said it with a smile, he was still a little nervous. What if he knew that the first batch of promotional materials didn't perform well? Would he then refuse to cooperate?

Xu Le glanced at the faded cup next to Liu Yuejin, pursed his lips, and without saying much, took out a portable office computer and placed it on the table.

"This is the promotional video I made. I think that for the second set of promotional materials, Lord Chu Yang should use this one."

He then opened the video on his personal terminal. This was a video Xu Le had filmed beforehand; the first scene on the screen was: "Have you ever seen a male insect that can work on its own? Have you ever seen a male insect that can cook? And have you ever seen a male insect that can raise its own offspring? If you haven't seen any of these, I'll show you what the male insect that countless females dream of is like..."

Then there was a short edited video clip, showing Chu Yang selling steamed buns, cooking, and taking care of Youyou – all candid photos taken by Xu Le. This time, the entire interstellar insectoid community would finally know what a great male insectoid Chu Yang is.

The entire video is only 30 seconds long, but the photos in it are very impactful. This is not only because Chu Yang's appearance is very different from other male insects, but also because in every photo he is smiling happily, not like a deliberate pose, but from the heart.

After the video finished playing, the office was quiet for a while, especially Liu Yuejin, whose eyes were filled with tears of emotion.

"Okay, let's use this one. Now let's go and distribute the second wave of promotional materials right away. Hurry up, everyone get moving."

With this video, everyone was instantly energized and full of enthusiasm. Xu Le crossed his legs, picked up the cup next to him, took a sip, and smiled slightly.

Sure enough, after the second wave of promotional videos was released, the number of views exceeded 100 million in just one morning. Of course, only Chu Yang's video exceeded 100 million; the other two were still barely alive because their promotional content was carefully staged.

What did I see? A male insect? Working, cooking, taking care of its young? I suspect it's because of all those consecutive all-nighters that its eyesight has deteriorated.

[Hey, you're not blind, this really is Lord Chu Yang. He's a famous internet celebrity on our planet D06. I can vouch for it.]

[I can also testify that I got an autograph and a photo with Lord Chu Yang at the last Interstellar Alliance meeting; he was so gentle.]

. . . .

Jin Ke watched the promotional video, her eyes squinting happily as she imagined herself as Chu Yang's queen, the two insects living a sweet and happy life, and their baby too. By the way, what should we name the baby?

"Wake up, wake up! You can dream at night. If you don't work during the day, you'll starve later."

Jin Jin nudged his silly daughter's shoulder. She had been watching Chu Yang's videos all morning. At first, she was excitedly shouting, but now her eyes were glazed over, her expression was blank, and she was drooling.

"Oh dear, Father, I'm at the perfect age to have children with Lord Chu Yang, and you're disturbing my sweet dreams."

He frowned, looking at his female father standing in front of him with a reluctant expression.

"Anyway, the family business is booming right now, we haven't gone bankrupt, and it's not time for us to starve yet."

Jin Jin was so angry at his silly daughter that he laughed, and reached out and gave her a light tap on the head.

"Is that so? Since you don't want to work, then forget it. I'll arrange for other insects to do it."

He turned around and slowly walked towards the room door, then deliberately said with a loud sigh of regret.

"This time, Lord Chu Yang ordered another batch of matching outfits for his cubs to wear during the filming. Since you're unwilling to work, I'll have to find other insects. Once the clothes are finished, I'll have to have him personally deliver them."

"Me, me, me, me, who said I'm not working? Who said that? Hehe, Father, you know me, I'm the most diligent."

He jumped up from the sofa in a flash, ran to the bedroom door, grabbed his father's arm with both hands, and looked quite serious.

I can't wait to see how these matching family outfits look on people; that way I'll have something to dream about every night.

Jin Ke's smile stretched almost to his ears. Once the clothes were finished, he wanted to personally deliver them to Lord Chu Yang, hoping to shake hands with him this time.

Thinking of shaking hands, he hurriedly stretched out both palms. He had been doing too much work lately, and his hands were no longer smooth. He needed to wear gloves to work again.
