Participating in the talent show.

By the time Lin Yuan brought the Client back to the company, the boss eagerly introduced the prepared house to him.

Sure enough!

When the Client heard who his neighbors would be, he immediately decided on that house.

Although the house was a bit small and the price a bit high, it was worth it!

Lin Yuan had originally planned to take the Client to view the house, but unexpectedly received a call from Chen Lin.

She said they needed to sign a contract and asked him to prepare several copies.

Helplessly, he had to let the boss take the Client to view the house while he took the Photographer to deliver the contract.

Since everything had been agreed upon beforehand, the contract was quickly signed, and Lin Yuan successfully received a 20,000 yuan commission.

But just as he was about to leave, Chen Lin insisted on treating him to a meal.

Embracing the idea that it would be foolish not to take advantage of a good deal, Lin Yuan readily agreed, and they found a nearby restaurant.

At the dinner table, the few of them ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

As they chatted, the conversation turned to the explosion on Pedestrian Street that afternoon.

Chen Lin asked with a look of surprise, "Have you heard about what happened on Pedestrian Street this afternoon?"

"Huh?" Lin Yuan, who was eating, heard this and couldn't help but spray out his food. Realizing hisgaffe, he quickly gave an awkward laugh: "Heard about it, heard about it."

"It was so terrifying, I felt the ground shake from ten kilometers away. I heard it was dug up by an excavator operator."

"Ah, yes, yes, yes!" Lin Yuan replied with a chuckle, "Yes, it was dug up by an excavator."

"Sigh~~ That guy was really unlucky, such a big bomb, he must have been scared to death."

The Photographer looked at the two of them chatting with a strange expression, but he didn't expose them, silently eating his meal.

Lin Yuan felt a headache coming on. He couldn't just tell her he was the one who dug it up; that would be too awkward.

He could only force a smile: "More than scared to death, his soul must have been scared right out of him."

Hearing this, Chen Lin burst into uncontrollable laughter as if someone had tickled her funny bone, making Lin Yuan extremely embarrassed. Was she doing this on purpose?

But the next second, after Chen Lin composed herself, her face flushed, and she looked as if she wanted to speak but hesitated. She opened her mouth and asked very unconfidently, "Um... I'm a host for a show, and tonight I'm hosting a local talent show. I was wondering if I could invite you to come and watch the show?"

After saying this, the blush on her face deepened. To alleviate her embarrassment, she quickly added, "Oh, right, several of my colleagues there are also planning to buy houses, so it would be a good opportunity to introduce you to some Clients."

Lin Yuan looked at Chen Lin's expectant yet shy and flustered expression, and couldn't help but chuckle.

After a few seconds of silence, he still nodded: "Alright, then we'll be intruding."

Seeing Lin Yuan agree, Chen Lin's face instantly lit up with joy, and she excitedly shook her head repeatedly: "No intrusion, no intrusion, I'm just happy you can come."

After confirming, the few of them finished their meal and took a taxi together to the talent show venue, Xihai Film and Television Park.

Twenty minutes later, the car arrived at the scene.

As Lin Yuan got out of the car, he was immediately drawn to the scenery of the film and television park.

The film and television park was brightly lit at night, but it wasn't like Hengdian, where he imagined there would be buildings from various dynasties everywhere.

On the contrary, here it was all modern architecture, only each building was very large, like a box.

At the main entrance of the park, a huge LED screen was playing a promotional video for the upcoming talent show.

The few of them passed through the bustling crowd, winding their way to the back entrance of a building.

Chen Lin led the way, explaining, "This place is specifically used for hosting variety shows. There are talent shows, challenge activities, and talk shows, all sorts of things."

"Oh~~" Lin Yuan nodded thoughtfully.

Passing through the back door, the three of them made their way to the backstage staff area.

When other colleagues saw Chen Lin bringing two handsome men, they all curiously ran over to watch the excitement.

Someone on site even recognized Lin Yuan, and in an instant, the entire backstage area completely erupted.

The name Lin Yuan had been heard everywhere recently, especially among young people, who even regarded him as an idol.

Now, Chen Lin had actually brought him to the show, and his colleagues were all incredibly envious, surrounding him and chattering non-stop, making Lin Yuan very awkward, so he could only keep smiling apologetically.

He himself hadn't expected to be this popular now.

Fortunately, Chen Lin saw his predicament and quickly pulled him into another room, where Lin Yuan finally found some peace.

Since Chen Lin had to go do her makeup and change, she had to leave the two of them in this room for now.

At first, it was fine; they could endure the boredom.

But after waiting for about 20 minutes, the two of them were bored out of their minds, so they opened the door and wandered around backstage.

The show was about to start, so no one was paying attention to them; everyone was as busy as ants on a hot pan.

Chen Lin had originally planned to check on Lin Yuan after finishing her makeup, but due to time constraints, she didn't even have time to say hello before taking the microphone and walking onto the stage.

In an instant, the entire venue erupted in applause.

Lin Yuan and the Photographer heard the commotion and realized the show must have started.

But the problem was they were backstage and had no idea how to watch the show.

The two of them stumbled into a very large room, which turned out to be behind the stage, the control room.

In the control room at that moment, the director was intently staring at the stage monitor, with a computer next to him displaying the live online broadcast.

The other staff members were also fully immersed in their work.

They didn't notice when the two of them had slipped in.

Standing backstage, Lin Yuan could see Chen Lin up close.

She was wearing a silver-white gown that perfectly accentuated her tall figure, looking dazzling under the stage lights.

Her unique earrings, combined with her outfit, gave her a very elegant demeanor, immediately drawing everyone's attention.

And in front of her on the stage, there were four judges.

What surprised Lin Yuan was that these judges were all foreigners, some black, some white, but they could all speak fluent Chinese.

Behind the judges were rows of audience seats. The entire venue was packed, and at a rough estimate, there were at least over 500 people.

The content of the show was simple: invite several guests to perform on stage.

But after each person went on stage, they would first chat with the judges, somewhat like a talk show.

The audience was all amazed to see several foreigners speaking fluent Chinese, and the entire venue was filled with laughter, almost non-stop, creating a very good atmosphere.

But just then, a staff member responsible for monitoring the live stream suddenly exclaimed, "Director, Director, quick look, our live stream's popularity suddenly exploded today!"

Hearing this, the director turned his head in confusion and glanced at the screen on the computer. He didn't think much of it at first glance, but at the second glance, he was shocked.

He asked in astonishment, "Twenty thousand people! Why are there so many people today?"

The staff member also nodded excitedly: "Yes, usually our live stream only gets up to ten thousand people at most, and normally it's around six or seven thousand, but today, for some reason, there are suddenly twenty thousand. And the popularity is still skyrocketing!"

The director smiled smugly: "A gem always shines. I guess our show is getting better and better, attracting a lot of fans. Everyone, let's work harder, our show is going to be a hit!"

"Good!" The backstage staff shouted in unison, each person full of drive.

However, they didn't know that the comment section of the live stream had already been completely overrun.

— — [Move aside, front row! How many of you are Lin Yuan's fans? Everyone, pop out and say hi.]

— — [Lin's Army is on the march, leaving no blade of grass untouched! Brothers, you're not trying hard enough, we only have 20,000 popularity so far, but that live stream over there has over 1 million people.]

— — [Holy crap, what's going on? Who's Lin Yuan? Why are so many people suddenly showing up? Is it a big streamer checking in?]

— — [If you don't know Lin Yuan, you've watched all the A-rated scams in vain. Haven't you heard that saying?]

— — [His deeds, give me a bottle of wine and a plate of peanuts, and I can tell you about them for three days and three nights!]

As time went on, the performances on stage went smoothly. Every contestant was humorous and talented.

Because they were actually actors hired by the production team, after each performance, they would go backstage and chat and laugh with the staff there.

However, as expected, an unexpected situation occurred.

There were originally five contestants prepared to perform.

But after the fourth person finished, the fifth person was nowhere to be seen.

Chen Lin stood on stage feeling very awkward, constantly making small talk with the judges to ease the atmosphere.

Finally, the director exploded!

The live stream's popularity had finally soared today, and now something went wrong at this critical moment. Could he tolerate it?

Seeing that the contestant was still not coming on stage, he immediately stood up and cursed loudly: "Where is he? Where is the last person? Do you have any professionalism? Are you going to make so many people wait for him?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a staff member next to him explained with a distressed look: "Director, we called, but no one answered, and we don't know where he went."

"Damn it!!"

The director took off his baseball cap and slammed it on the table, roaring furiously: "I don't care! We're still missing one person. You'd better find someone to go up there, even if you have to die trying."

In the control room, all the staff looked at the furious director, lowering their heads and daring not to speak.

Find someone now? Where would they find someone? There wasn't enough time.

The director looked at everyone, who were like quails, and was beside himself with anger, wishing he could kick each one of them.

The only solution now was to just grab a random staff member to go on stage and smooth things over.

But as he scanned the room, he inadvertently spotted Lin Yuan, who was watching the commotion, and his expression froze.

He asked suspiciously to a nearby staff member, "Who is this? Why have I never seen him before?"

"Ah? This..." The others were also bewildered, only now realizing that two extra people had appeared, and they looked at each other, not knowing who they were.

Lin Yuan gave an awkward smile and greeted, "Hello~~"

"Hello?" The director stared blankly at Lin Yuan, then his expression turned strange, and he inexplicably said, "You're the one!"

"Huh?" Lin Yuan asked blankly, "What do you mean, me?"

But just as he was wondering, several staff members next to him, as if by telepathy, all gathered around Lin Yuan.

Without a word, they lifted him up and directly carried him to a corner of the stage.
