Quick Transmigration: Cannon Fodder's Daily Rise to Power and Face-Slapping
Chapter 7 Slapping the Faces of the White Lotus in the Entertainment Industry
The director was surprised when he received the call, but was overjoyed when he heard that Shen Xuan wanted to participate in the program as an observer.
Everyone knows that award-winning actor Shen Xuan was preparing to retire from the entertainment industry, but no one expected that he would be able to participate in his variety show before that. It seems that his show is going to be a hit!
The director nodded vigorously, then jumped up from the spot after hanging up the phone. The other staff members were completely confused, as the director didn't tell them what good thing had happened.
The variety show "I Can!" started filming on time a week later. It was early spring, the weather was sunny and bright but not scorching.
The group arrived at the zoo where the filming was taking place—J City Mountain Forest Zoo—in the program crew's car.
The zoo is located on a mountain, with the upper part of the mountain housing some of the larger, more aggressive animals, and the lower part housing some of the smaller, more docile animals.
Besides Zhou Xiao and Leng Yuexing, the other participants in this variety show are all popular celebrities: Xu Siwen, a singer-dancer; Jin Yao, a pop singer; and Liu Ying and Tang Feng, two actors.
To ensure fairness, the director had them draw lots to decide which animals they would be feeding.
The final draw resulted in Leng Yuexing raising Arctic foxes, Zhou Xiao raising alpacas, Xu Siwen raising sika deer, Jin Yao raising peacocks, and Liu Ying and Tang Feng raising sheep and zebras respectively.
Just as everyone was getting ready to enter the zoo, the director clapped his hands.
"Next, please welcome our observer—Shen Xuan!"
Shen Xuan! The moment this name reached everyone's ears, everyone became excited!
It's Shen Xuan! Shen Xuan, who has won the Most Popular Actor award for nine consecutive years!
The youngest Best Actor winner, Shen Xuan!
Shen Xuan, heir to the Shen family conglomerate!
Leng Yuexing also looked at Shen Xuan in surprise as he stepped out of the nanny van in the distance.
As an observer, Shen Xuan only needs to supervise their work and doesn't need to do anything else. He can be considered an extra person set up to participate in the program.
His goal was clear: Leng Yuexing.
The director invited Shen Xuan to his side and said to everyone, "Shen Xuan will supervise your daily work, so you must perform well."
Everyone cheered and jumped for joy, wishing that Shen Xuan would supervise them 24 hours a day.
After everyone was assigned to feed the animals, the production team arranged for a zookeeper to take them to the animals' living area.
To accommodate the artists who weren't physically fit, the production team arranged for all the animals to be kept at the foot of the mountain.
Zhou Xiao glanced subtly at Li Zheng, the animal keeper who was leading Leng Yuexing, and Li Zheng nodded at Zhou Xiao.
He has purchased a slow-acting poison that can kill small animals.
It is said to be poison, but it is actually a type of Gu worm, which looks like a medicinal granule when it is in a dormant state.
After an animal ingests the poisonous insect, it will awaken from its dormant state and begin to corrode the animal's internal organs.
On the seventh day, it will bleed to death, and the Gu worm will turn into a pool of blood, and no one can find out the cause of death.
Leng Yuexing saw through all their subtle movements.
His eyes turned exceptionally cold.
Shen Xuan followed the group forward and noticed Leng Yuexing's unusual behavior. He walked over to her and asked gently, "What's wrong?"
The director, who was walking with the group, was speechless upon hearing this.
Since he met Shen Xuan, he had never heard Shen Xuan speak to anyone in such a gentle and soft voice.
Leng Yuexing turned her head to look at him, then at Zhou Xiao, whose eyes were full of jealousy, and smiled, "It's nothing, I just saw a shifty-eyed rat, which is disgusting."
Shen Xuan nodded upon hearing this, but didn't say anything. He just glanced at Zhou Xiao thoughtfully.
The Arctic foxes lived near the zoo entrance, and within minutes Li Zheng led Leng Yuexing to their habitat.
The Arctic foxes live in a spacious area, divided into indoor and outdoor sections. It appears they have prepared the area beforehand, as it is clean and tidy.
Arctic foxes are primarily nocturnal, resting in caves or rock crevices during the day. However, Arctic foxes living in zoos are occasionally active during the day as well.
The Arctic fox was resting in its room at the time.
Just as Leng Yuexing reached the door, the Arctic fox, who was resting, suddenly seemed to sense something and jumped up from the ground in an instant.
It looked towards the door and saw Leng Yuexing standing there, looking at it gently.
It whimpered and flew to Leng Yuexing's side. After circling in front of him several times, it looked at him with wet eyes, as if it wanted to jump on him but didn't dare.
Leng Yuexing smiled gently, squatted down, and picked it up.
The Arctic fox's eyes narrowed into crescent shapes as it nestled in Leng Yuexing's arms, whimpering sweetly.
The Arctic fox felt very fond of the man's aura and wanted to stay by his side forever.
Shen Xuan looked at Leng Yuexing holding the Arctic fox and vaguely thought he saw two foxes, one big and one small.
Their expressions were all identical—a look of pure enjoyment.
Leng Yuexing hadn't touched a fox's fur in a long time. Now, this little Arctic fox had snow-white and soft fur, and he enjoyed the blissful feeling of stroking it.
Li Zheng looked at Leng Yuexing and Arctic Fox with surprise.
He had been feeding this Arctic fox for several years, but it had always ignored him.
He felt that if he hadn't fed it every day, the Arctic fox would have attacked him.
The fact that the Arctic Fox, who had always been indifferent to him, was so affectionate towards Leng Yuexing immediately made Li Zheng feel unbalanced.
Li Zheng thought that if he could kill this Arctic fox and get some money, why not?
Thinking of this, he said to Leng Yuexing in a fawning tone, "This Arctic fox must be hungry. I'll go get it some food."
As he spoke, he went to the warehouse to get some food, intending to poison the food intended for the Arctic foxes.
Leng Yuexing glanced at the table outside the room, where the production team had already prepared food for the animals.
So he coldly replied, "The food on that table will suffice."
Looking at the food that the production team had already prepared, Li Zheng felt extremely annoyed. If he had known that the food he prepared was to be placed outside, he would have already drugged it. Now he could only proceed with caution.
So he turned his back to Leng Yuexing and walked to the food, intending to put the Gu worm into the food when they weren't looking.
Leng Yuexing already knew what he was planning. When he took out the Gu worms to put them in the food bowl, he glanced at the Arctic fox in his arms.
The Arctic fox felt as if someone was telling it what to do in its mind.
It jumped out of Leng Yuexing's embrace and onto the table where the food bowl was placed, then stretched out its paw and scratched Li Zheng's hand.
Li Zheng let out a painful scream, and his hand holding the Gu worm trembled, causing the worm to fall into his throat through his open mouth.
Because the Gu worm pill was very small, Li Zheng didn't feel much of a sensation. He only felt a slight discomfort in his throat and swallowed.
The worms then entered his stomach directly.
The Arctic fox whimpered, sounding just like it couldn't wait for its meal.
Li Zheng gripped his hand, staring fiercely at the Arctic fox, wanting to beat it to death, but he restrained himself when he remembered that there were photographers filming.
Li Zheng assumed the Gu worm had fallen into the feeding bowl. He gave the Arctic fox a sinister look and said, "I need to treat my wounds first. You can do as you please."
After saying that, he turned and left without explaining the characteristics of Arctic foxes or how to raise them to Leng Yuexing.
Shen Xuan glanced coldly at Li Zheng as he left and said in a cold voice, "Is this how your production team arranged things?"
Upon hearing this, the director stepped forward and said with a smile, "It was our mistake. We'll contact the zoo right away and ask them to send another animal keeper."
Leng Yuexing glanced at Li Zheng, who was completely unaware, and felt that she had finally vented her anger for the little Arctic fox from her previous life.
Watching the Arctic fox enjoying its food, he stroked its fur again, quite pleased with himself.
When Li Xin, the zookeeper who was notified by the zoo, arrived, this was the scene he saw.
He walked over and said with a smile, "I never expected Xiaomei to like you so much. She's usually so aloof."
The Arctic fox called Xiaomei looked up at him when she heard his voice, let out a soft "eh" and greeted him.
Li Xin was overjoyed and said, "Xiao Mei, you finally paid attention to me! I'll never dare to touch your tail again!"
