Chapter 53: 52.Is this something I can watch without spending money?!

During dinner, the village head warmly hosted them.

The villagers’ preparation for the meal was quite exquisite, to say the least.

Tang Shu noticed that it seemed even more abundant than the last time they came to film the program.

It must have been the highest standard that the ancient village could offer.

As the moon rose, after both parties had eaten their fill, one group still had to rush back to the city.

“Mayor Min, we won’t see you out today.”

“No need, no need, since the agreement has already been signed, we also don’t want to disturb President Jing’s work, so we will take our leave now.”

The other party seemed very happy, if Mayor Min’s attitude in the morning was enthusiastic, now he was incredibly excited and delighted.

Tang Shu silently took a sip of white tea and glanced at the two assistants behind him, noticing that there seemed to be a lot more things in their briefcases.

It seemed they had reached some sort of agreement.

After the pleasantries, Mayor Min and his two companions got into a private car and disappeared down the rugged path under everyone’s gaze.

As for the remaining people, they still needed to stay another day or two to process the first batch of Exquisite Plant.

The accommodations prepared by the villagers for them this time were still the same ones they had used last time, and everyone was about to disperse after dinner.

However…

Just before 9 o’clock, the village head specially brought out a 65-inch LCD TV and set it to the “Journey Together” channel.

“Everyone, thanks to the Program Team, our village was able to reach cooperation with President Jing. Anyone who wants to watch TV can come join the fun, right?”

Several members of the legal team were bored, and now they were genuinely very grateful for the village head’s enthusiasm, moving the village’s unique small stools over to join.

“Look, we must watch. This episode of ‘Journey Together’ includes Consultant Tang too!”

“Exactly, we must show our support, don’t you think so!”

As they spoke, their eyes instinctively turned to look at Tang Shu.

There was observation, curiosity, scrutiny, but the gazes were comparatively calm.

Zhang Yunda and a few others were the kind that couldn’t stay away from the internet except for work, and they were already aware of the gossip buzzing online.

If they didn’t know Tang Shu personally, they might not have paid attention to the content of “Journey Together”.

However, after an embarrassing interaction along the way, everyone became intensely curious about Tang Shu, feeling that this overly young-looking Consultant Tang radiated an aura of mystery.

What extraordinary qualities did she possess to gain special favor from President Jing—could she truly be a master at processing medicinal herbs?

All sorts of guesses made them curious about her performance in the program.

Exhausted from a whole day’s work, Xie Yunzhen yawned, about to go back to his room to sleep, but he perked up immediately when he heard this news.

“What’s that, Tang Shu is participating in this episode of ‘Journey Together’? Then we definitely have to show our support!”

So, he too grabbed a small stool and sat in the front, joining the army contributing to the viewership.

Tang Shu pondered for a moment and couldn’t help but feel tempted.

Truth be told, she too wanted to know how the program had been edited.

Before she could get ready with her “equipment”, someone beside her handed her a small stool.

She followed the gaze and met Jing Yu’s dark eyes.

“Together?”

“Thank you.”

Each taking a stool, the two of them also joined the crowd.

***

In the capital, backstage at the “Happy Together” Program Team.

At that moment, Director Zhang and the three presenters led by Pan Yang were seated together, staring at the green line representing viewership without blinking.

“What time is it now?”

Director Zhang held a signing pen, his eyes heavy. Although he appeared very calm on the surface, his bulging arm veins betrayed his restlessness.

“Director Zhang, it’s 8:55 now, and the ratings have been holding steady at 4. I think tonight will be pretty solid.”

“Yeah, yeah, this edit has really great show effect, plus the guests are all popular celebrities. The ratings for the last half-hour are definitely going to soar!”

“This wave is definitely stable!”

Behind them, several staff members hanging badges on their chests looked excited.

As the country’s top-rated variety show, “Happy Together” has always been beloved by the public, consistently maintaining ratings above 3.

However, today there was a breakthrough. The excitement level of this issue had far exceeded everyone’s expectations, and everyone was very puzzled about what Director Zhang was worrying about.

Among the crowd, only Pan Yang somewhat understood Director Zhang’s nervousness at the moment, reaching out to pat his shoulder as a gesture of comfort.

“Relax, relax, it’s going to be broadcast in three minutes. I don’t think there should be any problem.”

Director Zhang didn’t speak, and as time went on, 9 o’clock had arrived.

The promo for “Journey Together” had already started playing.

One after another, thrilling scenes unfolded, with the guests’ screams leading into the main content of the show.

At this time, whether in front of the TV or on the simultaneous online stream, a large audience tuned in to watch the show.

[Here it comes, “Journey Together” has started broadcasting!]

[Weiwei fans flying by, I want to see what’s so special about Tang Shu.]

[Qiqi fans flying by…]

…

[Roar! I just want to see how you guys are going to tear Tang Shu apart, sitting and waiting for the battle to begin!]

Whether they were there for the spectacle or genuinely liked “Journey Together,” the audience sent barrage comments one after another, quickly covering the entire screen.

Thick as clouds, impenetrable.

At this time, the Program Team’s backend for “Happy Together,” the line representing the ratings began to decrease slowly in a weak trend.

In the video, as Zeng Xiumin appeared in an out-of-season floral dress and sky-high heels, the audience began to liven up.

[Holy shit, isn’t this the real White Lotus?]

[Who on earth said our Shushu is a White Lotus? This lady is definitely inferior!]

[Just saying, did Zeng Xiumin take Tang Shu’s script or what, right, right???]

Clearly, many viewers’ impression of Tang Shu was still stuck on the “Lin Yiyi” character stage.

…

The video continued.

During the team’s first break, the previously indifferent Tang Shu suddenly looked up, and a sharp stick in hand shot out like lightning, striking a bright green snake on a big tree!

The barrage comments that normally filled the screen instantly cleared to zero!

“…”

As the edit replayed the scene from different angles three times, the crowd snapped out of their initial daze.

Then, all the viewers in front of the screen went crazy.

The barrage comments came in an overwhelming flood, unstoppable!

[???]

[!!!]

[What is this?]

[I’m split open!]

[Am I really watching this for free?]

[Who the hell can handle this?]

[Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit! What just happened? I must be hallucinating!!!]

The audience went wild!
