Hao Dou tried to reason with them, but it was no use.
The security guard simply would not let him in.
Hao Dou left, feeling disheartened.
Half an hour later, he returned.
He had learned from Lu Ling's method and decided to use a disguise.
Hao Dou dressed up as a delivery person, intending to sneak in, but to his surprise, he was stopped by the security guard again.
"Deliveries cannot be brought into the residential community."
He pointed to a table at the entrance specifically for deliveries.
He said:
"Leave the delivery here and call the client to come out and pick it up."
Hao Dou: "..."
Since the delivery person disguise didn't work, Hao Dou tried posing as a renovation worker.
Unfortunately, he still couldn't get in; the security guard stated that renovations required the resident to report to their security office in advance before they could allow anyone in.
He also added that this was for the safety of the residents.
Hao Dou had a breakdown.
However, what was even more frustrating was that, after going back and forth, the security guard had actually remembered him.
He gave a direct warning.
"Sir, you are going to such great lengths to enter our residential community; what exactly is your purpose?"
"You aren't a thief, are you?"
Hao Dou: "..."
Hao Dou was so angry he was jumping mad, "You're the thief! Your whole family are thieves!"
Then.
He was carried out by two security guards.
Since Hao Dou couldn't do it, he had to call his assistant, Xiao Gao, to come over.
But when Xiao Gao went, the security guard said the same thing.
"To find the resident of Building A1, 1801, you need an appointment."
"Without an appointment, you cannot enter."
Actually, the security guard was also puzzled; he had been a security guard for so many years, and this was the first time he had received such a request from a resident.
The security department had been discussing this all day.
However, seeing those two acting so suspiciously, they didn't look like good people. Since the little girl lived alone, it wasn't easy for her, so they had to help keep the door secure!
Xiao Gao returned in failure, and Hao Dou was furious.
"Forget it!"
"Lu Ling, if I come to find you again, I'll change my last name!"
Two hours later.
Hao Dou stood at the entrance of the residential community, looking at the security guard with a fawning expression.
"Brother, you are my brother."
"My own brother, please help me make an appointment with the resident of Building A1, 1801. I need to see her. Tell her it's Dou Dou."
Security guard: "..."
Hao Dou spent the whole day grinding at the entrance of the residential community and finally got an appointment.
The next day, he arrived on time to find Lu Ling.
He saw her, but Lu Ling refused the moment she opened her mouth.
The words of refusal sounded somewhat familiar.
"Don't you already have enough guests?"
"Please leave."
Hao Dou: "..."
Hao Dou held his temper, "We can add one more."
"We are currently missing a mystery guest. Don't worry, the salary will be enough for you."
Lu Ling rolled her eyes at him, "Is this about money?"
"Am I that kind of person?"
"No, no." Hao Dou said hurriedly, "It's mainly that the show needs you."
Lu Ling: "..."
The director chuckled and said, "Believe me, if you join my variety show, you will definitely become an overnight sensation."
Lu Ling repeated the same thing, "Not joining."
Hao Dou: "I'll increase your salary, 300,000 per season."
"How about that?"
"Not great."
"500,000?"
"Not joining."
"800,000?"
"Not joining."
Hao Dou went all out, "One million!"
"One million per season!"
Lu Ling looked up at him, appearing very embarrassed.
"Dou Dou, I really don't have the time, but if you insist on me joining your variety show, then you can increase it to three million per season."
"If you are not willing to increase it, that's fine too. I'm actually quite busy."
Hao Dou: "..."
Assistant Xiao Gao: "..."
...
Three days passed in a flash. The first season, first episode of Chosen Working Star concluded perfectly amidst various controversies.
Before ending the stream, the director made a solemn statement.
"The past three days have been very interesting. The five guests each experienced three different professions and gained a lot."
"Although everyone is very reluctant to part, we still have to say goodbye for now."
"Here, I want to tell everyone some good news."
"In the next episode, we will welcome a new guest."
The director's words left the audience hanging.
The bullet comments were all asking who the new guest was.
The guests on site were also asking.
But the director played coy, "Who is the new guest? You will all know next Friday."
The guests: "..."
In the live stream room, bullet comments: ...
What did he say? Nothing at all!
Director, can you be any more of a jerk?
Saying only half of it is like mixing arsenic into rice.
The bullet comments were protesting wildly, and netizens were all calling the director a jerk.
Unexpectedly, an even more jerk-like scene happened.
The director ended the stream directly, "That's all for this live broadcast. See you next time."
The live stream was closed.
Netizens: ...
Just as the stream ended, on the other side, the director had someone post the news on Weibo about a new guest joining next episode.
Sure enough, it hit the trending list in minutes.
In the comment section, everyone was guessing who the new guest was.
This added another wave of Re Du to the variety show.
The director was grinning from ear to ear.
He probably wouldn't be able to sleep until the next episode aired.
So excited!
Some were happy, some were worried; Jiang Yuanyuan always had a bad feeling in her heart.
She and Gu Nianchen left together, and the two even showed off their affection before leaving.
Then they went straight to the hotel.
After some indescribable activities, Jiang Yuanyuan lay in Gu Nianchen's arms and worriedly said.
"Do you think this new guest could be Lu Ling?"
"Impossible." Gu Nianchen said, "Don't look at how high her topic popularity is right now; she actually doesn't have many fans."
"Those netizens are just joining in the fun."
He said, "Besides, Hao Dou already rejected her; he wouldn't agree to let her come."
Jiang Yuanyuan was still uneasy.
"But what if?"
Gu Nianchen looked disdainful, "It would be even better if she really came."
Jiang Yuanyuan was stunned.
Gu Nianchen: "If she really comes, it will be for me. When the time comes, if we are a little more intimate, she won't be able to stand it."
"At that time, are you afraid she won't make a mistake and get scolded?"
Jiang Yuanyuan realized it instantly.
"That's true."
"Then we will show more affection, work hard, and we might even be able to clear our names."
Gu Nianchen said 'hmm'.
"But I still think it can't be her."
Jiang Yuanyuan nodded.
"But no matter who it is, we must quickly have the company find a way to do public relations and help us clear our names."
The value of a top-tier celebrity and a popular young actress is indeed high.
In the following days, the public relations teams of both companies were very effective.
While clearing the names of the two, they took the opportunity to step on Lu Ling wave after wave.
As a result, it was as if Lu Ling had bought a house on the trending list, living there every day.
In just one week, Lu Ling directly opened up two tracks, with both fans and anti-fans growing wildly.
However, she didn't care about this.
The original body's money could be recovered, she could go to the variety show to annoy people, and she could get a high salary.
Why not do it?
Seeing that the day for the variety show to air was getting closer, Lu Ling started to feel expectant.
Gu Nianchen!
Jiang Yuanyuan!
Are you ready?
See you there!
