Everyone went crazy after the villainous female supporting character was bound to the system.
Chapter 76 asks, what is information asymmetry?
Liu Tianqing glanced at the stove in the room, his eyes flashing.
The weather hasn't been cold lately, so there's no need to put a stove on for warmth...
Yang Bao continued, "This family's surname is Xu. The one who was poisoned is named Xu Daquan, his mother is Aunt Xu, and he has a younger brother named Xu Xiaolin. The one behind Aunt Xu is him."
Jiang Yun leaned closer and asked, "Why did Aunt Xu put a stove in his room? And why did she close the doors and windows so tightly?"
Yang Bao: "Xu Daquan had a cold and fever. She was afraid that the wind would make it worse, but she was going out and was worried that he would wake up without food, so she brought the stove in and put the food she had prepared on the stove to keep it warm."
"Xu Daquan was already groggy. He figured that as soon as he woke up, he could have something hot to eat in his room without worrying about going out in the wind and worsening his cold, so he just let Aunt Xu do what she wanted."
"Who knew that when Aunt Xu came back, no matter how much she knocked on the door, no one answered. So she opened the window and saw Xu Daquan lying motionless on the bed. She tried to wake him up by poking him with a bamboo pole."
"When Xu Xiaolin returned, he realized something was wrong and immediately called the police, an ambulance, and the fire department..."
Liu Tianqing took a deep breath and looked at the eighty-year-old Granny Xu and the sixty-year-old Xu Daquan in shock.
It should be common sense that you shouldn't close the windows and doors when you start a fire, right?
Why did that group of people kick down the door? Wasn't it because it was locked from the inside?
These two are not young, how come they don't even have this much common sense?
Liu Tianqing: "At first I thought it was for keeping warm, but then I felt something was off, it's not cold outside. I never imagined it was for keeping food warm..."
Pang Jin gasped:
"This is really a mother's heavy love, it's deadly. I just took a look, and they're still using steel charcoal, and it's not even completely burned yet. If his mother had come back any later to open the window... ugh... I don't want to think about it, I don't want to think about it."
Jiang Yun also hissed, thinking that Aunt Xu was probably going to go crazy.
Studio.
I don't know what to say for a moment...
I don't know how to describe this mother.
[What does this have to do with the mother? The one who got poisoned was probably sixty years old, right? Doesn't she have any common sense?]
[Yes, that door was locked from the inside. Was he locking it so tightly because he was afraid someone would rescue him?]
What's wrong with this world? College students are the most vulnerable, and the elderly are the most reckless.
[A 60-year-old man utters his most heartfelt cry: Mom, please stop loving me!]
Motherly love... the deadly love of a mother...
Don't use maternal love as an excuse; the old lady didn't have any intention to harm anyone.
……
The topic of maternal love instantly skewed the atmosphere of the live stream, with some people talking about the heavy burden of maternal love and others about its greatness.
This topic easily resonated with mothers and children, causing the live stream's viewership to rise again.
The police arrived at the scene quickly.
"Who called the police? Who drank pesticide? What kind of pesticide did they drink?"
Liu Tianqing's lips twitched. See? No wonder she misunderstood the news; even the police thought someone had drunk pesticide.
As soon as the police arrived, Xu Xiaolin went to greet them: "He didn't drink pesticide, but there was a stove in the room, so he suffered carbon monoxide poisoning. He has been moved out and has regained some consciousness."
Ambulances and firefighters arrived shortly after.
The doctors rushed in carrying a stretcher.
"Excuse me, excuse me! Where is the person who drank paraquat? What's the situation? How much did he drink? Even a little paraquat is fatal, it's banned now. Where did he get it?"
The firefighters followed closely behind: "Which room is the person who took the medicine locked in? Take us there quickly."
Everyone present was stunned.
Is this the legendary information gap?
From initially drinking pesticides, he suddenly evolved into drinking paraquat, and everyone looked at Xu Xiaolin.
An older man looked at Xu Xiaolin with a bewildered expression: "Xiaolin, when did your older brother drink pesticide? Paraquat, no less?"
Xu Xiaolin looked at him blankly:
"I don't know. I just said he was poisoned, but I didn't know what kind of poison it was. If you hadn't later said it was carbon monoxide poisoning, I wouldn't have known that stuff existed. But now the person is conscious."
The police, doctors, and firefighters who rushed to the scene all breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the person was conscious meant no one would die.
Once the firefighters learned that the person had been rescued, they quickly called a halt to the operation.
The doctors carried Xu Daquan into the ambulance, and Xu Xiaolin, as a family member, went to the hospital with him.
The police officers grabbed Aunt Xu and explained to her why she shouldn't light a fire in a completely enclosed room, and also took the opportunity to check the fire safety of her home.
"Auntie, this kind of natural gas hose is unsafe and needs to be replaced. It can't be used anymore, understand?"
Aunt Xu, full of energy, followed behind the policeman: "Change it, I'll find someone to change it right away."
Policeman: "Ma'am, this..."
Seeing that everyone's attention was on Granny Xu, Chu Ling minimized her presence and left the scene.
Liu Tianqing caught a glimpse of her departing figure and felt that she was acting strangely today.
"Director Yang, what are you doing here?"
Yang Bao: "Hey, Chu Ling met Aunt Xu while she was working yesterday. She happened to be looking for clues today and wanted to ask Aunt Xu for some information, but she didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing."
We met yesterday...
Just then, an older woman walked past Liu Tianqing with a frown, muttering:
"That's strange. Aunt Xu usually doesn't make this kind of mistake, and Xu Daquan is a highly educated person, so how could he make such a mistake?"
Liu Tianqing narrowed his eyes; something seemed amiss...
The farce ended quickly. After Liu Tianqing accompanied Jiang Yun and the others to return his mother's electric tricycle, they paid off the debts the group had incurred on the street.
They found Yan Qingfeng fishing by the river with a borrowed fishing rod, and Shui Xueyao chatting and gossiping with the older women in the park while eating sunflower seeds.
After the group of five gathered, they went to a restaurant for a meal.
At night, the five of them returned to the courtyard after their outing, where Chu Ling and Chu Yuze were still eating.
However, the two ate separately and showed no intention of talking.
Chu Yuze looked pleased; it seemed he had made quite a haul today.
Chu Ling, however, was lost in thought.
After the two finished eating, Yang Bao picked up a small megaphone and announced, "Today is the fourth night, everyone come out and play some games."
Liu Tianqing checked the time; it was 8 PM.
A group of people gathered in the courtyard again.
In a good mood, Chu Yuze spoke up for the first time: "What do you want to play?"
Yang Bao: "What are you playing? We're just asking for your opinions..."
Everyone present stared at him speechlessly.
"You are the worst group of directors I have ever supervised," Jiang Yun bluntly criticized.
Pang Jin nodded in agreement: "I haven't participated in many variety shows, but you are really bad at it."
"Don't tell me you don't have any follow-up plans." Liu Tianqing looked at him with suspicion.
Yang Bao remained silent and embarrassed: "It's normal to be unprepared for things when it's my first time directing, it's very normal, hahaha..."
Liu Tianqing sighed, "I should have known. The previous variety show had only just ended, and you immediately switched careers. Even a veteran director couldn't plan a variety show in such a short time..."
Yan Qingfeng was eating sunflower seeds and wasn't surprised at all that this would happen.
Actually, when Yang Bao invited them to participate in the variety show, he had just finished talking to his father about changing careers.
Yang's father immediately had someone assemble a team, and as soon as the team was assembled, Yang Bao hurriedly began filming.
Would Yang Bao talk about something like this?
of course not!
He covered his mouth and coughed lightly: "We're a variety show after all, there has to be some interaction, right? Otherwise it would be so boring."
Shui Xueyao thought for a moment and said, "Then let's interact with the netizens. Let's play rock-paper-scissors, and the loser will answer the netizens' questions."
The others looked at each other.
"I'm OK."
"Me too."
"It's all right."
Yang Bao breathed a sigh of relief: "Then let's do it this way, two people per group, the winner is eliminated, the loser continues."
The group quickly formed a team, but one of the seven guests was still missing. Yang Bao nudged Liu Hang, who was leisurely watching the show, and said, "We're still missing one person. Go and fill in."
Liu Hang reluctantly got up and appeared on camera: "We're still missing one person, I'll fill in."
Yang Bao raised his hand and waved: "Alright, let the game begin!"
"Rock, paper, scissors!"
"The winners are eliminated, the losers continue."
"Rock, paper, scissors!"
……
After three rounds, the final result was revealed: Chu Ling was the loser.
Yang Bao told the viewers in the live stream, "Please type '1' within five seconds. We will randomly select viewers to interact with celebrities."
After speaking, he signaled to his assistant to begin drawing people.
He then looked at the guests: "All the netizens were randomly selected, and nobody knows who will be chosen, so..."
Everyone nodded: "We understand."
In other words, there is a high chance that they will find their own haters.
Chu Ling was the most nervous; she pursed her lips and waited for the result.
Yang Bao's assistant quickly selected someone: "Director Yang, it's a netizen named 'Wawa Doesn't Eat Fish'."
Yang Bao immediately arranged to connect with this netizen.
After the call connected, the child, who doesn't eat fish, exclaimed with delight, "I can't believe I actually got selected! Awwwww~ Chu Ling, Chu Ling, I love you~~~"
Chu Ling breathed a sigh of relief. If it was her fan, then she was in luck this time.
She softened her voice: "Fan, calm down. What do you want to ask me? You only have one chance to ask a question, okay?"
The child, who wouldn't eat fish, quickly calmed himself down, but was still very agitated.
"I'm a stay-at-home mom and I often see your food recipes. My child really doesn't like eating fish. I'd like to ask if you have any good recipes to get my child to eat fish?"
Chu Ling's breath hitched, and her smile became somewhat forced.
She was internally screaming, "What does she know?! Is this fan really not a hater? How could a big star like her possibly cook?"
Liu Tianqing raised an eyebrow at her, and suddenly an idea struck him...
The system, Ah Bai, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly burst into laughter: "This fan is something else. She knows how to dig a hole for the star she's supporting. You know, Chu Ling can't cook at all."
Liu Tianqing: "Just as I thought."
System Abai: "She only talks the talk. Chu Ling is also a rich second generation, but her Chu family is not the same as Chu Yuze's Chu family. She is an illegitimate child. Her mother spoils her. She has never been made to cook or even sweep the floor."
"Wait, she's an illegitimate child?" Liu Tianqing asked in surprise.
Chu Ling has great resources in the entertainment industry. Is it really worth this much attention for an illegitimate child? Isn't her father's first wife angry?
This unscientific!
System Abai: "His father prefers girls, but his first wife gave birth to a boy. Naturally, the boy should inherit the family business. However, his father only dotes on Chu Ling and has never thought of handing over the family business to her. He has not touched the interests of his first wife, so his first wife is too lazy to care about him at all."
This was truly beyond Liu Tianqing's expectations.
But it all seems to make sense.
After a moment's thought, Chu Ling slowly said, "Since the child doesn't eat fish, then let him not eat it. Forcing him to eat fish will only drive your child away from you."
The child remained silent, refusing to eat fish. After a while, he finally voiced his question: "But not eating fish will cause a nutritional imbalance..."
"There are many foods that can replace fish and supplement its nutrients..." Chu Ling rattled off a whole bunch of theories.
After saying that, the child didn't eat fish. Although she didn't agree, she couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong. However, her initial excitement had faded. In the end, she calmly thanked Chu Ling and then disconnected the connection.
System Abai suddenly chuckled:
"Wawa didn't eat fish because she became a fan of Chu Ling after she frequently posted recipes. Now she's unfollowed her because she discovered that Chu Ling doesn't actually know how to cook. She happened to have read about these theories in a book."
Liu Tianqing asked in surprise, "You mean she read it aloud from the book?"
System Abai: "To be precise, recite the entire text."
Liu Tianqing looked at Chu Ling strangely as she recited the entire text. She was really clever; she could do something like this. Did she think she was the only one in the world who had read that book?
The second round of the game began again, and this time Liu Tianqing became the final loser. She calmly accepted the contact from netizens.
Yang Bao: "The netizens we gathered this time are all saying 'I'll get rich tomorrow'."
After the connection was established, the man who was about to become rich shouted excitedly, "This incredible fortune has finally fallen into my lap!"
Liu Tianqing: "Speak, what do you want to ask!"
After thinking for a moment, he finally asked, "I just want to know your opinion of Chu Ling, and whether I can become rich tomorrow?"
Liu Tianqing stroked his chin, deep in thought.
"Ah Bai, is this person Chu Ling's black mark, or mine?"
Anyone who watched the live stream should know that she didn't give Chu Ling a friendly look.
The only person to bring up this topic now is a hater of one of them.
System Abai patted the little data ball that had just bounced around on the internet and said, "Yours."
Liu Tianqing clicked his tongue: "I knew it! Wanting to get rich quick? You're dreaming!"
She thought for a moment, and finally said to the system, Ah Bai, "Activate the narration for 'Becoming Rich Tomorrow'."
Instead of immediately activating the narration, the system Abai suggested, "I suggest you activate the narration for Chu Ling as well."
Liu Tianqing blinked. Her main trait was to listen to advice...
"At the same time, start the narration for Chu Ling."
System Abai: "Target locked: Tomorrow will be incredibly wealthy and Chu Ling, narration begins."
Soon, the first narration appeared in Liu Tianqing's mind.
After reading it, her eyes darkened, and she glanced at Chu Ling.
She was shocked. This guy who'd become rich tomorrow was actually a die-hard fan of Chu Ling. No wonder System Abai made her activate both at the same time.
Liu Tianqing took a sip of water and organized his thoughts: "Well, let me first tell you my opinion of Chu Ling. How should I put it... I don't like her. She's too fake. She's good at flattering people, but as for whether you'll become rich tomorrow, you should wake up from that dream."
