Chapter 216 Lin Su suffers a crushing defeat
Chapter 216 Lin Su's Utter Defeat
She felt things weren't so simple.
Yu Huan slumped on the other side of the corner sofa, ignoring Yu Chengcheng's mutterings.
He unlocked his phone and entered the WeChat work group, only to find several lively subordinates using his emojis in a meme war, which made his face darken slightly.
Especially Wang Zhi and Wang Xianjiao, it seems like this is never going to end.
Considering that everyone is a young person in their early twenties, we can't really think of ourselves as old cadres in their fifties or sixties who can't accept being joked about, right?
Forget it, out of sight.
Yu Huan turned off her phone, tossed it aside, and turned to watch TV.
Meanwhile, Yu Chengcheng, methodical and thorough, conducted a detailed search.
She finally found Lin Su's real name through a Weibo post that was trying to gain attention:
Attention, Class of 2007! Lin Yourong, the most beautiful girl in the School of Marxism, has appeared on "The Voice of China"! She has changed her name to Lin Su! Please be aware!
The Weibo post also included a two-inch blue-background ID photo of Lin Yourong.
Yu Chengcheng felt like she had grabbed a hot potato and immediately threw her phone away.
Eager to find the answer, he rushed into Yu Huan's bedroom without a word, picked up the photo frame from the bedside table, and then quickly returned to the living room.
She sat on the sofa, holding a photo frame in one hand and her phone in the other.
His eyes moved left and right, carefully comparing the ID photo with the person in the frame.
The more I look at it, the more it resembles...
That's the same person!
It felt like I had discovered a shocking secret, and even my heart started beating faster.
Yu Huan glanced at her little cousin, who looked like she was conducting a criminal investigation, with a rather speechless expression: "Chengzi, do you know that people who are too smart are prone to hair loss?"
"Brother Huan, your wife really is Lin Su!" Yu Chengcheng excitedly slammed her phone onto the sofa. "You've been keeping this from us for so long!?"
"Your sister-in-law and I are secretly married. The only people who know the truth are your fourth uncle and fourth aunt. We haven't even told the old man. Don't be a gossip."
Yu Huan's tone was calm and composed, as if he were discussing something perfectly ordinary.
His calm words failed to quell Yu Chengcheng's surging emotions, and she pressed on, "Holy crap! How did you get to know Lin Su!?"
“She’s also from Xingcheng, and she’s the daughter of my boss.” Yu Huan was explaining when her phone suddenly vibrated, indicating a new message.
He picked up his phone, unlocked it, and saw a message from his wife:
'Finally finished work! Time to head back to the hotel.'
'How many albums did you sign today?' Yu Huan's fingers flew across the screen.
'Eight thousand copies! And many fans came all the way from Hong Kong! My hands are numb from signing so many autographs!'
'Honey, you've worked so hard! By the way, are the albums at the autograph session also 51 pieces?'
'No! The autograph session was originally scheduled for 85 yuan, not 65. Chan-moon (the organizers) are so greedy.'
Yu Huan looked at the message, a slight smile playing on her lips, and turned to ask Yu Chengcheng, who was admiring the photo frame, with a hint of smugness:
"My wife signed 8,000 albums today. What kind of level is that?"
He had previously conducted a survey and found that only a handful of singers sold over 100,000 albums in 2012.
For no other reason than to show off his wife's achievements.
Upon hearing the question, Yu Chengcheng immediately put aside her distractions, thought carefully, and then said:
"I checked it this afternoon. Only the title track 'It' had a music video, so the overall budget wasn't big. Of course, this isn't the era where records sell millions of copies anymore, so getting eight thousand copies at one autograph session is pretty impressive!"
"As long as it's awesome." Yu Huan nodded in satisfaction.
Simultaneously.
Fingers tapped incessantly on the screen to send messages:
"Get some rest, eat well, and have a good sleep. I'll be knocking on your door at eight o'clock sharp!"
"This hotel's elevator requires a card; you can't get in!"
'I climbed through your window.'
"Come climb the fifteenth floor!"
'So I'll just fall and die right below you?'
"Do whatever you want, I won't stop you."
'Lin Yourong, how cruel you are!'
'Hmph! Are you with my parents now?'
"No, Yu Chengcheng came back to the city with me and didn't go over. We dug up five tea trees and one orchid from the mountain back home, and we just finished. Now we're just waiting to see how you perform at base camp."
'Oh, then you're not allowed to laugh at me!'
'What's wrong? ’
I feel like I acted a bit silly while playing the game.
'No, do you think I would laugh at my own wife?'
'meeting!'
Yu Huan was about to defend himself.
News of Lin Yourong arrived quickly:
'I've arrived at the hotel. I have to go now, have dinner, remove my makeup, and take a shower!'
"Yes, my dear wife! I'll take my leave now."
"The temperature in Guangzhou has been approaching 20 degrees Celsius these past few days, which is quite different from the temperature in Changsha. You should be careful."
'Okay, I understand!'
Yu Huan put down her phone and saw that Yu Chengcheng was still holding the photo frame in one hand and her phone in the other, comparing the photos.
He couldn't help but laugh and ask, "What are you still looking at?"
“I’m comparing Lin Su’s recent photos,” Yu Chengcheng replied without looking up.
"Does that mean you don't believe your own eyes and keep checking?" Yu Huan joked.
Yu Chengcheng sighed deeply: "I feel like I'm dreaming. It's all so unreal! I never imagined that my brother Huan would marry a female celebrity one day." "What celebrity? Your sister-in-law is a singer. It's just a profession."
Yu Huan paused briefly, then emphasized those four words:
"Stay calm and keep a low profile!"
"I really can't stay calm about this! Even though you always call her your wife, I've never dared to think about it in this way."
Yu Chengcheng threw her phone on the sofa:
"They hid it too well!"
At this point, the CCTV news broadcast on the television screen had ended, and the commercial break had begun.
Yu Huan glanced at the TV, rubbed his hands together, and said expectantly, "Alright, I won't say any more. I'll just wait for my wife to appear."
The first half of this episode of Happy Camp featured the cast and crew of the TV series "Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties," with main guests including Zhang Weijian, Liu Xiaoqing, She Shaoqun, and Bao Beier.
As Hunan TV's year-end blockbuster, this drama seems to have an insufficient budget, giving it a strong sense of the simplistic and extravagant style typical of TVB productions.
51-year-old Chen Chong and 57-year-old Liu Xiaoqing used to play young actresses together, but now one plays a mother-in-law and the other a daughter-in-law.
The actress playing the daughter-in-law is none other than Liu Xiaoqing, the real-life version of the "Tianshan Child Granny".
This drama doesn't follow the official historical record; it's all fabricated and nonsensical, making Li Shimin out of the womb ten years too early.
Although the overall production quality was poor, the show achieved a peak viewership rating of 3.36 on its premiere day, ranking first in the country, indicating that this generation of viewers loved it.
Yu Huan lay on the sofa, propping her chin up, and was drowsy the whole time.
Fortunately, Yu Chengcheng's cheerful laughter kept him somewhat alert.
The first half of the program has ended.
After a lengthy advertisement, the preview showed that familiar, formulaic smiling oval face.
The narrator briefly introduces the second half of the program as a segment featuring the cast and crew of "iPartment" and Lin Su.
Yu Huan sat up abruptly from the sofa, instantly becoming alert: "My wife has finally appeared!"
The screen displays different images.
Several door frames were placed on the stage, and the dancers moved their bodies gracefully in front of them.
A cheerful drumbeat rang out.
As the door opened, the five hosts and guests filed out in matching jumpsuits.
They made small gestures with their hands and feet on the stage, moving around in circles.
Lin Yourong didn't have many scenes, but her every move seemed out of sync with the rhythm.
The music stopped abruptly, and the movements froze.
After the awkward dance ended, Yu Chengcheng chuckled and commented, "Isn't Lin Su's limbs a bit uncoordinated? They're really a bit stiff."
"What Lin Su? You have to call her sister-in-law!"
Yu Huan picked up the mug on the coffee table and took a big gulp of the now-cold water.
Yu Chengcheng waved her hand and said with a smile, "Alright, alright, she's my sister-in-law. Look at how smug you are!"
Under the guidance of the still-young-looking teacher He, everyone began to introduce themselves in turn.
The previous guests were either humorous, witty, or quirky.
After each self-introduction, a pre-edited video of the audience cheering and applauding would flash across the screen.
When it was Lin Yourong's turn, she said coolly, "Hello everyone, I am Lin Su," and put down the microphone.
They don't seem to be quite comfortable in this kind of situation.
Teacher He hurriedly raised the microphone in her hand with a smile and said in a slightly accented Mandarin, "This is our little pride of Xingcheng. Come on, let's welcome Lin Su!"
A continuous, thunderous applause erupted from the television set.
As the applause subsided, He Jiong continued, "Lin Su's debut music album, 'It's You,' will be released soon. Please give it your support!"
"Thank you everyone~" Lin Yourong replied naturally in her broken Mandarin.
All five hosts applauded.
Wei Jia's eyes crinkled with laughter, and when the rest of the cast of Love Apartment turned around and saw the lively scene, they quickly joined in the applause.
The shot didn't just pass by; it lasted for a full four or five seconds.
This was clearly unusual treatment, prompting Yu Chengcheng, who was lying on the sofa with her cheek propped up, to click her tongue and comment, "You can tell my sister-in-law has powerful connections."
However, compared to the active presence of the Love Apartment cast, Lin Yourong seemed somewhat marginalized, as if she had intentionally or unintentionally retreated to the sidelines.
During the interview, seeing everyone laughing, she also formally raised the corners of her mouth and smiled slightly.
Yu Huan felt even less noticeable than Wu Xin, the host.
Yu Huan's opinion on this—
Lin Su suffered a complete defeat.
After the interview, it was time for the "Radish Squat" game.
Xie Na and Chen He started arguing.
Lin Yourong was so engrossed in watching that she didn't hear her turn. After several beats, she tried to lift her leg to join in, but then realized what was going on and silently put it down.
In short, he was completely bewildered after being eliminated.
"Hahahaha-"
Yu Chengcheng burst into uncontrollable laughter, laughing so hard she could barely breathe.
Yu Huan scratched his head, wondering how his wife managed on stage; he felt a little embarrassed for her.
Just then, his phone vibrated and beeped.
My wife sent me a message: "Quickly take a selfie and send it to me so you can prove you're not laughing at me!"
