Chapter 246: Exposed

!!!

All the fans felt as if the mist before their eyes had been cleared as soon as this comment came out.

“F*, I knew it. When I watched that documentary, I always felt like Vet Yu looks a bit familiar. So that’s why.”

“Mhm. Although he only showed his eyes, the shape of his eyes and the emotions his pupils showed were all special. Just from this, I could see it was him!”

“And his stature is similar!”

“What’s happening? What are you guys talking about????”

“Yeah. Why are you guys so impressive? You even know how the eyes of our live-streamer’s boyfriend look?”

“Haven’t you guys seen the picture from the internet that shows Princess’s boyfriend?”

“Yeah. The same old pictures are spreading around over and over again. The lights are not that good under Tang Tu’s concert stage. We can barely see his appearance, but he looks quite handsome.”

“You definitely haven’t watched the documentary, ‘Vet’s Cuties’, that has been going viral these past few days. The main character, Vet Yu, looks completely the same as that man in the pictures judging from his stature, eyes, and his temperament.”

“Princess, hurry and tell us. I’ve been entangled on this question for two days.”

Although the screen and the internet were in between them, Liu Man could feel the tens of thousands of eyes looking for gossip, glowing as they stared at her. She felt helpless but funny at the same time. Was her private life that interesting?

Under the close stares coming from tens of thousands of viewers, Liu Man had to nod and admit, “Mhm, Vet Yu is my boyfriend.”

She hadn’t even finished her sentence before the comment section exploded!

“Wtf, they really are the same person.” 

“This is a perfect patch! Princess keeps a pet and sells cat food. She also found herself a vet boyfriend. Perfect couple!”

“Most importantly, they have matching good looks.”

“Hahaha. Now that Vet Yu is becoming a cyber star as well, there are lots of his fangirl groups on Wei Bo. If those girls learn that he has a girlfriend, they will cry to death.”

“Sis, can you tell us about the process of how you got to know Vet Yu? Is it really romantic? Hehehe!”

“Oh, yeah. We want to hear a beautiful love story.”

“I’ve already prepared my stool, sunflower seeds, and my bottle of water. Princess can start now.”

Liu Man really didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at her fans’ actions. She went back through her memories and said, “We got to know each other because of Daylight. My initial fans should remember that, when I just started live-streaming, Daylight once had diarrhea. One of the admins, Peach is a fairy, suspects that there’s a parasite in her. Peach is a fairy told me to bring Daylight to a pet clinic and have a vet examine her, so I brought Daylight to a pet clinic and coincidentally met Vet Yu.”

“It’s not romantic at all…”

“Mainly because sis told her story in such a flat tone. What happened to the climax, the huge ups-and-downs, and the pink bubbles?”

“Don’t normal people always meet their lovers this way? You guys think they are in a movie?”

“Aiya, so you guys met like this. I didn’t expect that I’m the matchmaker. Next time we meet, I’m going to ask him for a red packet. No explanations.” — Peach is a fairy

Liu Man, who had forced herself to stay calm, blushed a little when she got mocked by a familiar friend.

“No wonder sis was in one of the scenes in the documentary as a guest for a few seconds.”

“No wonder both Daylight and Moonlight appeared.”

Moonlight was also popular now. The netizens, once again, rediscovered the Wei Bo “Me, me, me, little Lu Ban” had sent before, which contained the detailed introduction of Moonlight’s past. Viewers who had watched the documentary thought pack to Da Huang’s pitiful incident and forwarded them on Wei Bo with captions such as: “Every animal is a cute angel, especially stray cats and dogs. We’d rather have less abandoning and more responsibility going on.”

Moonlight and Da Huang instantly became the representatives of stray cats and dogs.

“Wait for a second, I realized an issue that becomes very scary if you think about it. Isn’t Paul God Vet’s dog? Why did he show up in the documentary and call Vet Yu his poop carer?”

“There’s another issue. In the post ‘Me, me, me, little Lu Ban’ had sent, it mentioned that Moonlight was saved by a vet bro. She also pinged ‘I’m a vet’ at the same time. At that time, we analyzed it and thought the vet bro is one of God Vet’s employees. According to the plot in ‘Vet’s Cuties’, we can know that this bro is Vet Yu. Does an employee have the qualification to keep his boss’s pet dog? Can someone tell me if there’s a rule like that in vet clinics?”

“From that, we can prove that Vet Yu is ‘I’m a vet’!”

“You guys, your deduction is scaring me!”

Never underestimate fans’ logical deduction abilities along with their surprising memory that noticed all kinds of details!

Liu Man was left speechless.

Tao Zhiyao thought on the inside, Exposed, aren’t you? She ate her chips and drank her iced drink as she sat in front of her screen, waiting to watch a good show.

“Sis, why aren’t you talking?”

“Sis Peach was becoming silent as well.”

“How can Vet God possibly be that young?”

“I’m a vet has never talked about his age, okay? You guys are the ones who presumed and guessed.”

“But his actions and his words make people feel like he’s an elder.”

“It’s no use for us just to guess randomly right now. Everything will be revealed if we have Vet God come out and inform us himself.”

“Calling Vet God!”

“Calling Vet God!”

“Calling Vet God!”

Yu Zhan had finally finished showering just now. The “Ding! Ding! Ding!” Coming from his phone was notifying him that Princess Man was live-streaming right now. He didn’t even dry his hair before hurrying up to turn on his phone. Nothing was more important than watching his girlfriend’s stream!

As a result, as soon as he entered the live-stream, Yu Zhan saw everyone spamming his nickname in the comment section.

His was very perplexed,

“What is happening this time???” — I’m a vet

“Ahhh, God Vet is here.”

“Mr. God, be honest and tell us your honorable age.”

Yu Zhan was confused and didn’t know the reason behind it.

“Is this very important?” — I’m a vet

“Definitely. As the number one ranked on the gifting leaderboard in Princess’s live-stream, every action and word of yours is a focus of ours.”

At the same time, the main character in the live-stream — Princess Man, naughtily blinked at the camera. Those pair of eyes seemed to be only staring at Yu Zhan, and they seemed to be implying something at him.

Yu Zhan immediately understood. His identity was exposed.

He exclaimed that no detail can ever escape these fans’ insightful eyes.

Seeing “I’m a vet” wasn’t answering them in quite a while, the fans started asking random questions again: 

“Mr. Vet, is your dog, Paul, being kept at Vet Yu’s place?”

“Is Vet Yu one of your employees?”

“I’ve watched the documentary several times, and I noticed that Sis Nurse has said in person Vet Yu is her boss. Why is that?”

“Aiya, you guys have been posing questions for such a while, and none of you dares to ask the main thing. If you won’t ask, I will. I’m a vet, you are Vet Yu, right?”

At this moment, all 500k live-viewers in Princess Mna’s live-stream were all waiting silently for “I’m a vet”s’ response.

Chapter 245: Live-Streaming While Being Viral

“This is a good comment,” Li Xiaoru clicked open a comment and read out loud, “I’ve watched some documentaries related to animals. They film animals’ naiveness and cuteness, such as our mascot, pandas; they film how animals are treated unfairly and have tragic lives, such as how some people eat dog meat and take bears’ guts; they film emotional relationships between humans and animals and make a story with plots, such as humans living with lions.

I have to admit that all three kinds of documentaries above can catch the audiences’ eyeballs. This ‘Vet’s Cuties’, however, describes the ordinary but real lives of mediocre pets. Just because it’s closely related to our lives, it makes us feel touched. Every one of us may encounter similar things without going through huge events. No matter how tiny these creatures are, their lives also matter.”

“This comment is so professional,” Jiang Chengfeng said, “This viewer must’ve watched the documentary carefully.”

“Other people’s comments have also been written seriously,” Li Xiaoru flipped through the comments based on their order, “Hey, lots of people are asking if there’s a second episode. Look at this one, ‘I love watching these daily activities between a vet and cute pets. I’m looking forward to the second episode’, and this one, ‘if there’s a second episode, please tell Vet Yu to teach us, the other poop carers, some basic medical knowledge. Sometimes, our pets would suddenly get sick at home, and we can’t find a pet clinic in time and can only panic’…”

Sun Weiwei asked Ye Ziliang, “Are we going to film episode two? In other words, are you going to find us again to film episode two?”

Compared to Li Xiaoru, who was naively happy, Sun Weiwei had a much more complicated mindset. She was thinking, now that “Vet’s Cuties” was so welcomed online and so many people wanted there to be a second episode, the national TV department would definitely not let this opportunity to earn more money escape. If they send out a professional team to take over this topic, then “The Sisters” would not have anything to do with it anymore.

Sun Weiwei stared closely at Ye Ziliang’s eyes, and Ye Ziliang openly looked back at her, “If there’s a second episode, I will definitely still cooperate with everyone here!”

“Then we have a deal!”

“Vet’s Cuties” was unlike “Shi-Senpai”. If “Shi-Senpai” was a thing college students played around with on Tik Tok, then “Vet’s Cuties” was an official product from the National TV documentary division.

As long as everyone came to a consensus and the cooperation was going well, they could film as many episodes as they wanted; however, the boss made all the decisions with the sequels of “Vet’s Cuties”. Ye Ziliang also wanted to film the second episode, but he was not a freelancer and had an official job. His work time and tasks were all arranged for him by the division, and he had no way to make his own choice. He could not be sure when they could film the second episode. 

Yu Zhan, Liu Man, and Tao Zhiyao did not care a lot about gains and losses, and they purely wanted to help Ye Ziliang. If there was a second episode and Ye Ziliang was willing to invite them, they naturally would also be willing to participate.

After the feast with everyone, Yu Zhan gave Liu Man a ride back to her place.

On the car, Liu Man began to read the comments of “Vet’s Cuties”, and she laughed as she looked at them, “I have just realized that you are now a famous person.”

Yu Zhan did not comment. The nurse had told him that day that he had gained a huge group of fangirls, “I don’t understand. I haven’t even shown my face, so how did those girls know I’m handsome?”

“Your words sound so narcissistic,” Liu Man held back her laugh, “Don’t underestimate a girl’s intuition.”

Liu Man felt if Yu Zhan and the nurse hadn’t been wearing their masks and if the hospital’s signboard hadn’t been blurred out, that audience would definitely have found the clinic with the clues. 

Yu Zhan exhaled deeply. He was initially a low-profile man who went with the flow. Ever since he had a cyber star girlfriend, the word, “low-profile”, seemed to be getting further and further away from him.

For the past month, Liu Man had been moving and working on the new warehouse, so she hadn’t been live-streaming at all. The last time she live-streamed was when she wanted to complain about being kicked out of school.

Today, she had some spare time and was in a good mood. After she took a shower and changed into some clean clothes, she turned on her live-stream.

After a month, Princess Man’s blue hexagram icon finally lit up. All her fans instantly felt elated and told each other the news. All at once, there were close to 10k live viewers in the live-stream. 

“Lord Princess! You actually persisted and didn’t live-stream for everyone for an entire month! Do you have any idea how much we’ve missed you?”

“Yeah, ever since the ‘getting kicked out’ incident passed, you seemed to have disappeared.”

“If Princess hasn’t been updating her Wei Bo at times, I would’ve thought you died.”

“You have a vicious mouth. It’s obviously because Princess has been pretty busy for some time. She’s Professor Su’s youngest and last apprentice. Professor Su has definitely been assigning her lots of homework this summer break.”

“Hehe. For the others, summer break means being bored and time slowing down. Our live-streamer is being so busy that we couldn’t even see her shadow.”

Princess Man’s fans had lots of complaints and negative thoughts.

Liu Man hurriedly apologized and quickly explained, “Sorry, so many things have happened recently, and whenever I solve a problem, another followed closely behind. I really didn’t intentionally become lazy and not live-stream.”

The fans were just ranting out their feelings, but they weren’t really blaming her. Seeing how she felt so regretful, everyone stopped being so angry.

“We are already very happy that you can be online today to live-stream.”

“Yeah. I’m already very satisfied to be able to see my Goddess’s face.”

“Hey, sis, your live-stream background has changed. There are so many books on the bookshelf behind you, so it’s probably not your original bedroom. Is this the study in your house?”

“I’ve moved recently, and I rented a place outside. I’ve stopped living at home,” Liu Man said.

“It’s good that you’ve moved. If you live-stream until sometime late in the night, you won’t disturb your family.”

“You’re living outside alone? Make sure that you are safe.”

“Stupid. Princess has a boyfriend, so how is it possible that she’s living by herself!”

Liu Man felt distressed, “I live by myself, and I’m not living with my boyfriend. He hasn’t even stayed overnight here before.”

“No way, there’s such a pure relationship! This is magical.”

“Princess’s boyfriend is such a good man. I like it!”

“There really can be a calm man like him in this world??”

“I think the live-streamer made the right choice. Girls should treat their bodies more seriously. Some girls in the modern era haven’t even learned more about their boyfriend before they impatiently go open a hotel room. In the end, the girl would lose both their body and their money. The live-streamer has just confirmed her relationship with her boyfriend for a few months, so they should keep a pure relationship.”

“My Goddess is the type of person that looks fresh and pure. She’s my type. *Whines* It’s unfortunate that someone got to her before me.”

“Go away. Even if her boyfriend didn’t get to her, you still have no chance.”

“Can I ask the Princess a weak question?”

Liu Man saw this weak comment and laughed, “Go ahead.”

“Princess, is your boyfriend the ‘Vet Yu’ in the documentary, ‘Vet’s Cuties’, which is going viral right now?”

Chapter 244: Successful Result

On the evening of August 4th, “Vet’s Cuties” had already reached 400k views on the video websites. Some audience even when to its original link — The national TV department website and crazily commented and liked the documentary.

It looked like it was going to go viral in a matter of seconds.

Liu Man was fatigued from working in the factory the entire day. The first thing she did when she returned home was turning on her phone to watch “Vet’s Cuties”.

She also felt it was super good! Daylight and Moonlight’s actions in the video were naive but cute. She resolutely gave the documentary a five-star and even forwarded the video’s link onto her Wei Bo as long as pinging “Leafy Breeze”, “I’m a vet”, “Hehehaha”, “Like a Towering Mountain”, “Peach is a fairy”, “Otaku Boy”, and “Xiaomei12345”.

“Leafy Breeze” was Ye Ziliang’s Wei Bo ID, and “Like a Towering Mountain” was Sun Weiwei’s.

Liu Man’s forwarding made it even more popular. She had more than 3 million fans herself, and it could be imagined how much more audience she brought to “Vet’s Cuties”.

At that time, the National TV site’s comment section for “Vet’s Cuties” had already reached thousands of comments. “Six Hundred Years of the Forbidden City”, which only had nine comments, could not compete with it at all.

In the group chat, everyone was also having an enthusiastic conversation. Everyone was excited and each pinged Ye Ziliang.

“Ziliang bro, you’ve gone viral!”

“Ziliang bro, you can keep your job now!”

“Ziliang bro, why aren’t you replying? Have you gone dumb from all the happiness?”

Ye Ziliang was actually stupefied. He sat in front of his computer, watching the views incessantly increase. He fell into a trance as if he was daydreaming.

He had been in an anxious mood the entire time since he decided to film “Vet’s Cuties”. While none of the others approved of his topic, only Yu Zhan, the nurse, and “The Sisters” supported him.

It was as if he could still see the leaders’ perfunctory attitude and Guo Nan and the other competitors’ sarcasm just one week ago; however, at this moment, he proved his ability with the popularity of his documentary among the audience!

Neither had the national TV documentary division thought the documentary they thought of as the leftover bit would show up as the most prominent one. It instantly brought much more attention to their initially unpopular site, not to mention it received lots of good feedback from the audience.

The documentary division head didn’t care that it was break time and immediately called Ye Ziliang’s boss, asking about Ye Ziliang’s situation. The boss replied, “He’s Ye Zian’s younger brother.”

Ye Zian only learned that his brother’s documentary went viral on the internet on the second day. After “Sound of the Wind” had entered its postproduction stage, Ye Zian basically stayed in a half-secluded status. He didn’t surf the internet and stopped contacting anyone else to put his whole mind into his film.

His assistant was the one who ran to him excitedly and told him to watch “Vet’s Cuties” online!

Ye Zian watched it attentively and even wanted to pause the video frame by frame to look at the details. After he watched it, he had to exclaim that the little boy who had always been following him in the past finally grew up. Without Ye Zian knowing, he had already started filming a documentary silently and succeeded soundlessly. Ye Zian felt proud, but he also felt a bit sad. They were the mixed and complex emotions parents had when they see how their adored children grew up and no longer needed to depend on them. 

However, the perfectionist Ye Zian still felt Ye Ziliang’s product had lots of flaws. However, he was satisfied with the basic production. Ye Zian loved his brother, so to support his brother’s hard work, he was planning on forwarding the documentary on his Wei Bo to advertise it.

The thought had just popped up a bit when Ye Ziliang, who had “telepathic” powers due to them being brothers, called Ye Zian, “Brother, whatever you do, don’t comment on my documentary on the internet. I don’t want everyone to think of, ‘oh, hey, this person’s the famous director Ye Zian’s little brother’ whenever my name gets mentioned.”

“You have helped me way too much, and you even got me this job. I have to learn to become independent,” Ye Ziliang said.

Ye Ziliang went to the TV department this morning, and everyone now looked at him with a completely different expression. The leader of the documentary division met him in person, but the first sentence that came out from his mouth was, “No wonder you are Ye Zian’s little brother. Your talents and your ability are both very outstanding.”

Ye Ziliang’s heart cooled down halfway. He only wanted to film a meeting-expectations documentary by himself, which was why he was reluctant to find his brother at the start. As a result, when he walked into the TV department, all the discussions he heard on the way were not referring to him by using his name; they were calling him “Ye Zian’s little brother”.

How could Ye Zian not know his little brother’s thoughts? They were biological brothers! The aloofness and dignity in their bones were similar.

“Okay. Walk your own path, and I will not interfere with your business.”

Ye Zilinag, who was having a very good day, emptied his wallet and treated everyone to dinner at a high-tiered restaurant. Yu Zhan and the nurse came, too. “Vet’s Cuties” going viral meant nobody’s hard work and efforts were wasted. Everyone was very happy, and the atmosphere, as they ate their meal, was very lively.

Sun Weiwei asked Ye Ziliang, “Now, are you able to finally become an official employee?”

Ye Ziliang said, “I should be promoted from an intern now.”

This morning, the documentary division leader spoke with him for a long time. He was saying and implying that they wanted to let him stay in the documentary division.

“Congratulations for acquiring your desired spot,” Tao Zhiyao said, smiling.

Everyone else also congratulated Ye Ziliang.

After all, the reason why he wanted to film “Vet’s Cuties” was an assignment given to him by his leader. It was an assignment related to Ye Ziliang’s entire career’s future.

“I am going to calculate and distribute everyone’s salary right now,” Ye Ziliang said, “Each person may be receiving a different amount of payment based on how much work they were responsible for.”

“It’s fine. We all believe you,” Jiang Chengfeng said, “Everyone understands that more work equals more rewards.”

Ye Ziliang transferred money to them through Paypal live.

In the end, Liu Man got 3,000 RMB. Tao Zhiyao received the most money, which was 10,000 RMB. Sun Weiwei had the second highest payment: 8,000 RMB. Jiang Chengfeng got 7,000 RMB, and Li Xiaoru had 6,000 RMB. Miao Xiaomei did not ask for a payment. She only said that if there were any other activities like this the next time, just remember to call her.

Liu Man was unaware that the reason why her friends were able to get such high payments was that Yu Zhan did not take the 20,000 RMB that belonged to him. Not only that, but Yu Zhan also gave the nurse 5,000 more RMB this month for working overtime.

Everyone’s wallet received some money, and they were even happier. Li Xiaoru took out her phone, “Let’s read the good comments the audiences have written for ‘Vet’s Cuties’.”

Sun Weiwei teased, “I’m guessing Ziliang bro did not reply to our messages last night because he was definitely sneakily reading the comments by himself.”

Ye Ziliang felt slightly awkward, and on the inside, he blamed Sun Weiwei for being too smart. He really spent his night reading the tens of thousands of comments. He read them all… No matter if they were good comments or bad reviews, he felt more excited as he went through them. He pulled an all-nighter and basically did not sleep at all.

The perfectionist, Ye Zian. The Ye Ziliang with OCD.

VSROWDC Chapter 1 Part 2

Ji Zeyu thought back hard, skipping along the timeline, and ultimately concluded:

According to the situation at hand, the talent show, “Shining Future”, had just released its first season, and the original Ji Zeyu couldn’t help but fall madly in love with Lu Nanyun.

The channel held a marketing summit for the show and invited members from Class A and B to stay in the hotel the night before. Ji Zeyu wanted to take this opportunity to sleep with Lu Nanyun, so he found a reason to take a bath in Lu Nanyun’s room.

After the bath, Ji Zeyu was tricked into saying: “If you are willing to sleep with me, I’ll make sure you will debut as the center” by Lu Nanyun. This was all recorded by Lu Nanyun’s secret camera and was one of the pieces of evidence used to expose his evil deeds later on.

Of course, nothing happened with the two in the end, and Lu Nanyun shooed him out after getting the camera footage.

And now, the only thing Ji Zeyu had to do was to finish the “Unspoken Rule” scene.

TL’s Note: The “Unspoken Rule” is common in the entertainment circle. “You sleep with me, and I will give you this big role and/or all this money.”

Ji Zeyu looked at himself in the mirror, taking in a deep breath. He had spent many years as a trainee, and his company had trained him in acting before. He had performed as side characters a few times, but he never thought he’d put the experience to use at this kind of moment.

He changed into a huge bathrobe and opened the bathroom door. His vision pierced through the surrounding mist and looked directly at the person inside the room. 

A young man sat on the sofa, wearing a simple and clean white shirt with black trousers. Even if he was sitting down, one could see his amazing body with broad shoulders and a lean waist along with his slender legs.

Lu Nanyun was very handsome, he had a trendy look among the entertainment circle. His eyes were dark, his nose bridge was tall, his lips were thin and erotic, and his jawline looked as if it was chiseled.

Wow, no wonder he’s the main top character — This was the first thought that came to his mind after Ji Zeyu took a look at him.

Seeing how Ji Zeyu was coming out of the bathroom, Lu Nanyun slowly stood up and walked up to him. Lu Nanyun’s official height was 188 centimeters, while Ji Zeyu was 181 centimeters. He looked down at Ji Zeyu’s face, concealed the disgust and contempt under his eyes, and said with a deep voice, “Why did you come to my room? Just say it.”

Ji Zeyu recalled the “Unspoken Rule” scenes he had seen before, cleared his throat, and suddenly moved closer to Lu Nanyun’s ears. He then said with a soft and charming voice: “If you are willing to sleep with me for one night, I’ll make sure the show gives you the center role when you debut.” 

His warm breath scattered on Lu Nanyun’s earlobe, making him freeze. A sense of surprise flashed through his eyes–

When did this boy become so daring?

After a while, Lu Nanyun sneered. Trying his best to hold back his hatred towards the man in front of him, he said slowly, “Why do you think I would agree to this?”

“You are the illegitimate child of the Lu family,” Li Zeyu continued gently, “The Lu family is very strict about your development in the entertainment circle. You want to debut as the center to prove yourself, but that little company you signed a contract with can’t guarantee your ranking. The only one who can help you is me.”

The boy’s voice was clear as he slowly laid out his offer. His words were enchanting, making Lu Nanyun daze off a bit.

Snapping back to reality, Lu Nanyun’s eyes flashed a sense of danger. He said coldly: “You have quite the guts today…”

Ji Zeyu didn’t notice what he said, but he suddenly remembered the location of the camera in the original novel. Seeing that they were a bit too far away from the camera and that he spoke too softly, he realized that the audio might not have been recorded properly.

“Sorry,” Ji Zeyu suddenly interrupted him, “Let’s do this part again.”

Lu Nanyun’s eyebrows furrowed: “What?”

“That was a filmed rehearsal,” Ji Zeyu walked towards the hidden camera and gestured at Yu Nanyun with his fingers, “Come here, let’s have a formal chat.”

“Filmed rehearsal?” Lu Nanyun’s brows furrowed even more. Although he didn’t fully trust the guy, he played along — he needed evidence. Ji Zeyu was framed perfectly within the shot. Hesitating for just a moment, Lu Nanyun crept up slowly before him.

Ji Zeyu stretched out his hands to undo Lu Nanyun’s buttons.

The youngster’s hands were beautiful, with streamlined fingers and delicate bone ridges.

Ji Zeyu was going to go over his lines again; however, just as his first button came undone, the phone on the couch suddenly rang a few times.

Lu Nanyun held back the resentment in his heart and watched him, stone-faced, “Go reply,” From what he knew about Ji Zeyu’s personality, he would be dead set on finishing the “Unspoken Rule”.

Lu Nanyun’s phone fired off ringtones in succession — it couldn’t have been just one person texting him.

“I won’t reply; I will just silence it.” Ji Zeyu wanted only to get the scene over with. “Let’s finish this quickly.”

Lu Nanyun heard the four words, “let’s finish this quickly”, and felt suddenly as if he was being treated like a duck and a cheap one at that. A hint of uncomfortableness flashed through his eyes.

Ji Ze Yu walked up to the sofa, pulling his phone from one of the pockets of his pants. Just as he was about to silence the ringtone, the content of a notification caught his eye.

[Eldest brother: “Ze Ze, I noticed a couple hate posts about you circulating on the web — I’ve already put together special task forces to help get rid of them. Don’t worry, just focus on the competition! As long as you can debut, I’ll guarantee you the male lead role in a blockbuster film.”]

Ji Zeyu slowly widened his eyes.

[Second brother: “Yu Yu, don’t take those outsiders’ words to heart. I bought a couple of islands for private vacationing. If you debut from your competition, I’ll gift them all to you, just take your pick. Oh, right, I’ll also gift you that private helicopter you’ve always wanted.”] 

Ji Zeyu’s jaw dropped.

[Sis: “Yu Yu, baby, don’t fret, we’re not like those neophytes. We have all the resources in the world! The more they hate on you, the more famous you get. So what if you’re not a singing or dancing prodigy? The covers of the three biggest magazines have got your back — all you have to do is debut, and you can be in their photoshoot.”]

Ji Zeyu stared at his phone and fell into a long, long silence…

He only knew the original owner of this body had a background.

But he had never known how impressive his backers were!

How was this kind of person only cannon fodder in the original story? Such a waste of resources.

After a while, Lu Nanyun got a bit impatient and frowned: “What?”

Ji Zeyu’s fingers, which were holding his phone, tightened. He suddenly smiled and looked at Lu Nanyun to say:

“Sorry, I’m regretting my decision.”

Compared to going back to the original world and getting the already planned out fourth-place in that talent show, he suddenly wanted to experience an amazing life and complete the celebrity dream buried in his heart for the last eight years.

Lu Nanyun said, surprised: “What?”

Ji Zeyu picked up his clothes, walked into the bathroom to change off the robe he was wearing, and then walked up to Lu Nanyun. Sincerely staring at him, Ji Zeyu slowly said: “Nanyun, you are a good man, but…” As he said that, he slowly looked down. The deepest parts of his eyes carried sadness.

Lu Nanyun glared at him indifferently, “What do you want to say?” His voice was icy, representing how he had reached his limit of patience.

“Sorry, we can’t be together,” Ji Zeyu’s voice sounded as if he had been mistreated and felt helpless, “My mom has just texted me, saying that we two have completely different backgrounds. You don’t match me.”

Lu Nanyun was stunned. No matter how hard he tried, he still couldn’t wrap his head around it. How could Ji Zeyu say something so shameless?

“You, are you mental?!” Lu Nanyun couldn’t calm down, “I’m not suiting for you? Wasn’t it you who said that you want to sleep with me?!” He couldn’t sustain his usual aloof appearance anymore.

Ji Zeyu stared at him affectionately, comforting him: “Don’t feel sad. Although my mom wants me to keep a distance away from you, we can still be friends in the future,” Sike.

After he said these words, Ji Zeyu turned away immediately and left, ignoring Lu Nanyun’s furious face.

Ji Zeyi knew that to achieve an extraordinary life, he had to get rid of his fate as the vicious male side character.

To achieve all of this, the first step was to stay as far away from the main characters as possible. It was best to not interact with them at all.

Ji Zeyu had a long and dark dream. He was drowning in the waves of the ocean, suffocating.

The moment Ji Zeyu woke up, he subconsciously moved his limbs and found nothing wrong. He finally exhaled out of relief—He was still alive, at least, and he was not paralyzed.

His head felt heavy, and the shock of the car crash still lingered in his heart.

At that time, Ji Zeyu was sitting in the car his company arranged for him and was heading to the final round of a talent show called “Music Idol” with his agent, Xiao Nan.

During the entire trip, Xiao Nan was very hyper. After all, it was the first time that Ji Zeyu had entered the finals after his participation in so many shows. In the past, he had always stopped below the top ten marks.

“See, that’s what I’ve always said. You always get rewarded for your hard work.” Xiao Nan smiled genuinely and told Ji Zeyu, “You have such skills, so you definitely won’t be a ‘background’ anymore.”

Ji Zeyi smiled and said thanks, but in his mind, he knew everything clearly. No matter how good he was, he could never get in the top three—The three other candidates were all younger and more handsome than him. They also had larger fan bases than he did. Even if he managed to enter the finals, he would still only be an accompaniment.

It was quite funny. Ji Zeyu had been in the entertainment circle for seven to eight years, and he had participated in talent shows every year. He even got tagged as the “twice-cooked pork”. He was 28 years old this year, but he still had only accumulated so few fans. All the judges only gave him comments such as: “You have lots of skills, but you are just not unique enough.”

He once believed in the saying, “As long as you work hard, you will get what you deserve”, too. However, with no background and a not-so-good-looking appearance, no matter how good one’s talents were, they still wouldn’t be prominent in a talent show. It was how cruel the entertainment circle was.

Xiao Nan saw his gloomy face and guessed what he was thinking. Xiao Nan didn’t talk more and silently turned on her phone to read some novels about the entertainment circle. She loved reading them, both BL and BG stories.

It was a hobby that Ji Zeyu could not understand—If you are literally in the entertainment circle, why would you bother reading this fiction?

“What the fu-, this male side role is disgusting!” Xiao Nan shouted angrily, “He reeks of green tea the moment he steps in, and the spoilers in the comment section say that he does even more disgusting things later on….”

Ji Zeyu glanced at her and said calmly: “These characters are necessary for the plot.”

“Wait…” Xiao Nan held her phone as her eyes widened, “The frick? Why did they name the character this?!”

She said as she held her phone up to Ji Zeyu, “Look!”

Ji Zeyu glanced at it out of boredom before saying with a hint of surprise: “Ji Zeyu…. the same name I have?”

“That’s right!” Xiao Nan’s eyebrows furrowed, for she felt ambivalent at that moment, “Ji bro, I really love this book, but if the vicious male side role has the same name as yours, I will quit reading…”

She didn’t even finish speaking when the sound of a sudden harsh brake sound and the sound of the broken windshield came.

Xiao Nan screamed. She didn’t hold on tightly to her phone, so the phone fell out of her hands in the moment of impact. Her phone flew straight towards Ji Zeyu’s forehead.

Ji Zeyu felt immense pain, and he didn’t even see what car their van crashed into before he fainted.

Ji Zeyu stopped dazing off and remembered that he needed to go. Although he was destined to be a stepping stone even if he attended the finals, it was a precious opportunity for exposure after all, and he had to go to the contest immediately.

And so, Ji Zeyu struggled to get up before he suddenly froze.

He just realized that he was currently lying inside a bathtub, and the water temperature was just right. The aroma of the shampoo and the mist surrounded him.

Ji Zeyu looked around; he knew this wasn’t his house, nor would it be the hospital. Did Xiao Nan send him to a hotel after the incident? But Xiao Nan was a girl, so she could not have possibly carried him into the bathroom… 

He walked out of the bathtub with much confusion. He grabbed a towel and dried himself, then wrapped the towel around his waist, trying to figure out what happened as he decided to step out of the bathroom.

When he passed the sink, he took a glance into the misty mirror and couldn’t help but reach out to wipe it — He wanted to see if his face got damaged during the crash. He didn’t look good even before the incident, and it would be even more terrible if it got further damaged.

After wiping off the mist from the mirror, Ji Zeyu withdrew his hand and looked in the mirror. The unfamiliar boy in the reflection looked back at him.

The young boy only had a towel around his waist. He had a nice stature and had abs. His hair was dampened, his face was mince, his skin white, his eyes were hazel-colored, and his nose bridge was upright.

Those eyes also seemed like they were covered with mist. If one only looked straight at him calmly, they would be amazed by his charm.

Ji Zeyu’s eyes widened. He stepped back, and the boy in the mirror did the same. Even if the boy’s face looked surprised, he still had a lively temperament that belonged to a youngster.

Ji Zeyu opened his mouth and squeezed out a few words from his throat arduously: “Who… the fuck… is this?!”

The boy in the reflection lip-synced his voice.

Everything was telling him that—The person in the mirror was himself.

At the same time, dozens of pieces of memory flooded his brain like ocean water. Ji Zeyu had to prop himself up on the sink with both of his hands to stand up straight.

After about ten minutes, Ji Zeyu slowly recovered from the shock, but his heart was still beating fast.

The information in his brain told him that he transmigrated into a book called “His Celebrity Future” and turned into a side character that had the same name as him.

If Ji Zeyu remembered correctly, this was the book Xiao Nan read before the car crash.

And Ji Zeyu was the character Xiao Nan hated so much.

In this book, Ji Zeyu was the classical evil cannon fodder. He had good looks, stature, and a powerful background, but he just didn’t have the brains. In the talent show, “Shining Future”, he falls in love with the main top* character Lu Nanyun, and thinks of every way possible to sleep with him. He even pushed the main bottom* down the stage during rehearsal.

TL’s Note:

Top: The ‘dominant’ one in a relationship

Bottom: The ‘submissive’ one in a relationship

All of his evil deeds got exposed on the night of his debut, and Ji Zeyu was kicked out of the show, turning into a stepping stone for the main characters in the novel. In the end, fans who hated him poured sulfuric acid on his face, not only disfiguring his features but also turning him crazy.

“Why is there a character this fucking dumb…” Ji Zeyu accepted the fact that he transmigrated into a book, but he couldn’t accept the fact that this character was so idiotic, “And he has the same name as me… Is the author one of my haters?”

Ji Zeyu didn’t read much of it, but Xiao Nan had often informed him of these kinds of books. Therefore, he guessed that if he followed the original storyline, he could escape this world.

So, Ji Zeyu took a deep breath and comforted himself: “I’m already a ‘professional’ talent show participant, so I’ll just complete the show, and I can go.”

He felt determined to be a good boy and finish the original plotline, then he would go back to the real world and enter the finals.

At the same time, a voice came from outside the door:

“How much longer are you planning to shower?”

The voice was clear yet cold, he sounded a bit annoyed, but it could not cover up the sexiness of the voice.

Ji Zeyu was taken by surprise — Although he knew who he was and knew how the plot went, he did not know which part of the book he was in, nor did he know that there was someone else in this room.

“What? you want to stay in my room forever?”

The voice from the door came again, contemptuous and sarcastic.

Ji Zeyu lingered a bit, his mind humming to life as he realized what was happening.

If he was right, then “Ji Zeyu” would be in the hotel at the moment, preparing to sleep with the original male lead. The voice outside the door came from the lead himself, Lu Nanyun.

Chapter 243: Five-star Rating

“This scene gives us a closeup of Vet Yu’s eyes. I saw them clearly; his eyes are amber-colored. They look so pretty.”

“I just don’t know how his face looks like. I really want to take off his mask.”

“He looks very tall, and he’s at least 180 centimeters in height..”

“Vet Yu is now the new male god in my heart.” 

“Who was your old male god?”

“Tang Tu. Hehehe, I’m a fan of Tu Tu. I love them both so much.”

“I am a male, but I f*ing think Vet Yu is very attractive, too. It feels so comfortable to see him working. I’m guessing he must be a very sophisticated and educated gentleman. This kind of man does have some charm.”

“Yeah, yeah. He has a really good temperament and has a style.”

“I also got charmed by Vet Yu.”

Ye Ziliang initially thought having Liu Man show up would bring his documentary some popularity, but he never expected Yu Zhan to get more welcomed than Liu Man. Everyone ignored the Hanfu Goddess’s scene just now and was all drooling at “Vet Yu” in front of the screen.

At last, Ye Ziliang himself finally showed up in front of the camera. He had Melon in one hand, and his other hand was petting Bitter Gourd on the head. He described the entire reason and process of him filming this “Vet’s Cuties” in person, and at last, he said modestly: “This is the first documentary I’ve ever filmed in my life. If there are any flaws or mistakes, please tell me in the comments.”

“The documentary’s producer looks pretty handsome.”

“Boys who love animals all seem gentle.”

“And he seems young. He’s probably around 25 years old.”

“As this producer’s first documentary ever, I think this is already a very good film.”

“I just feel like the video is too short. It would’ve been better if they filmed two more stories.”

At the ending part of the finale, there were three bloopers:

Blooper 1: Miss Yu was looking at Fairy’s seven babies and was smiling like a child. She counted them one by one, and she wanted to touch them, but she didn’t dare to. She turned around and asked the Nurse sis, “Can I pick them up? Will they get easily pinched to death?” 

The Nurse sis found it funny, “They are not that weak.”

Blooper 2: After Mr. Hong learned Da Huang survived, he immediately started crying out of extreme happiness. Men shouldn’t be crying easily, but he couldn’t control himself for a dog. He incessantly expressed his gratitude for Vet Yu, “Thank you, thank you.”

Vet Yu patted his shoulder, quietly comforting him.

Blooper 3 did not have any scenes. On the dark screen, everyone could hear a young girl say, “All the filming at my end is done.”

“Call it a day. Let’s go have some dinner snacks to celebrate the completion of our work,” This was the voice from that producer just now.

“Call everyone. Let’s gather together!” This was from another unfamiliar girl.

Next came the noises of tidying things up.

After this, the lively and joyful piano playing from the beginning sounded again. Within this playing, a line of huge words first came up:

“Naming and Co-Organizer: Documentary Division from the National TV Department”.

Then, each of the production staff’s names appeared one by one:

Script & Director: Ye Ziliang

On-the-Spot Guide: Sun Weiwei

Videographer: Tao Zhiyao

Paul’s Narrative & Postproduction: Jiang Chengfeng

Music: Li Xiaoru

Makeup: Miao Xiaomei

Guest Starring: Liu Man

“I see the Hanfu Goddess’s name!”

“I feel like the names on this credit list all look familiar.”

“Why is the name, ‘Ye Ziliang’, so similar to the famous director’s name, ‘Ye Zian’?”

“This is probably just an accident on similar naming.”

“Li Xiaoru is the Hanfu Goddess’s roommate whom I have followed on Wei Bo. No wonder all the music in this documentary is piano playing. Looks like she played them all.”

“Is this Sun Weiwei the original scriptwriter of ‘Happy Guo Guo’?”

“Hey, it does seem so. Let me go flip through ‘Happy Guo Guo’s’ original videos.”

“You are still following ‘Happy Guo Guo’? Ever since ‘Happy Guo Guo’ changed their scriptwriter, their videos became so boring.”

“I’ve also unfollowed a long time ago. I don’t know why, but after the Hanfu Goddess left, Shi-Senpai became so portly-looking to me.”

“Yay, yay, yay. I got to the video. Sun Weiwei is surely that scriptwriter who suddenly quitted from the ‘Happy Guo Guo’ team before. Not only that, but Tao Zhiyao and Jiang Chengfeng used to be members of ‘Happy Guo Guo’ too. Although they’ve only participated in the production of episode 11 in the ‘Shi-Senpai’ series, I think that episode is the best. After this analysis, I suddenly realize the production team of this documentary is so powerful.”

“Yeah. As a cyber documentary with a low fund, they’ve already done great. I’m giving it a five-star.”

“Besides, they are only students. They filmed this video as an amateur, but its production is very delicate and feels professional. This is very awesome; I’m giving it a five-star.”

“I love Paul so much! He has such beautiful hair and is so obedient. He’s so cute! I’m giving it a five-star for Paul.”

“I originally thought this is only a documentary based on animals. I never thought the content would be this interesting. Vet Yu also gave very detailed descriptions of medical protection facts about animals. Now that everyone’s lives are getting better, there are more and more people keeping pets. Medical expectations for pets will also become higher and higher. This documentary came out right on time. I’m also giving it a five-star.”

“This documentary has deeply attracted moi’s heart. Such cute cats and dogs all hit me right on the spot, and it’s very meaningful, making us put more attention into injured animals. I hope everyone can treasure pets and treat them well. I’m giving it a five-star.”

“Thank you to the production team for giving us such gentle impressions. I even want to give it a six-star if I can!”

“I’m also in the vet industry. Vets and nurses working in small pet clinics are tired and hardworking, but sometimes, being accompanied by fluffy babies is also something very comforting. I hope the pets pharmaceutical and medical industry in our nation can get more perfected and ameliorated in the future. I’m giving this a five-star.”

“This documentary has made my eyes glow. There has never been a documentary based on pets. This is awesome, splendid, and creative. I really, really want there to be a second episode so Vet Yu can give us, the poop carers, some suggestions on conveniently and reasonably feeding our pets. I’m also giving it a five-star!”

“I watched this all in one go. I own a dog, so I relate deeply. Pets are not just pets; they also have lives. If an owner decides to take a pet in, they should treat their pet carefully. They will thank their owners in another way. When we, the owners, feel upset or disappointed, they would accompany us. When we have nothing left, they would jump out and tell us that we still have them. Therefore, I would like to tell pet owners to treat their pets carefully and love them. The time they have to accompany you isn’t long. In their eyes, you are the sole thing they can depend on. For those who don’t own pets, please, for sure, treat the animals around you well. Every life is beautiful. I’m definitely giving this documentary a five-star. It speaks out loud my feelings and thoughts!”

Almost all the commenters rated five stars.

Chapter 242: A Warmhearted Man

After some silence, the male rubbed his eyes, trying to hide away his tears. He said in a low voice, “I know he won’t survive this. He’s a stray dog from a compound I rented an apartment in. I usually call him Da Huang. Every single time I call ‘Da Huang’, he would run over to me, wagging his tail. I bought some dog food, and I feed him every day. I even made him a home in the hallway with a paper box and old pieces of clothing.”

“Every morning, he would be wagging his tail as he saw me go off to work. Every evening, he would be kneeling at the entrance, picking me up from work. Today, when I went off to work, I didn’t see him, and I knew something was wrong. I looked for him everywhere, and I only found him at the entrance of the compound. He was thrown away in the green belt. At that time, his hind legs were already like this.”

“Bro, you’ve already done everything in your ability to help Da Huang. Stop blaming yourself,” Paul’s voice comforted him.

Lots of netizens felt a soreness spreading in their nose, for they felt touched.

“I don’t want Da Huang to die. He’s this bro’s buddy. What would bro do without him?”

“Is the situation this critical? Can he survive?”

“Even if he survives, he will be a disabled dog. What will happen to his future with him being stray and disabled?”

“If a dog doesn’t have hind-legs, he won’t even have the freedom to move freely. Compared with painfully being alive, dying would be better.”

“Can you stop being so negative? Haven’t you heard that doing whatever you can to stay alive is better than having an easy death? People can have artificial limbs if they don’t have legs, and dogs can, too.”

“Hehe, do you even know how much artificial limbs for pets cost?”

Everyone was still discussing when the screen turned black again, and a line of words appeared: “After more than an hour of surgery, Da Huang’s life was finally saved.”

“That’s great, that’s great.”

“As long as he’s still alive.”

“Now, bro can finally sigh in relief.”

“I really disagree with their choice of saving him…”

On the screen, Da Huang was laying in an incubator with his eyes closed. His two hind-legs were already gone, and pieces of gauze covered up the parts of his body which he had lost.

At the same time, a conversation sounded in the background: “Call Manager Wu to customize a set of wheeling chairs for a disabled dog and measure the basic stature and limbs’ length for Da Huang.”

“Okay.”

“How much does the wheeling chair cost?”

“It’s around 4,000.”

“Who’s paying this money?”

“The boss, of course.”

“My boss is very kind, and he’s very passionate about animals. Haven’t you guys noticed? The stray dogs and cats on our street all have a fitting stature. Ever since the Moonlight incident, my boss used his own money to buy cat food and dog food. Every day, he feeds the cats and dogs around us right on time, which makes them grow fat.”

“Besides, without a wheeling chair, even if we cure this Chinese Garden, he still won’t be able to live his life. We’ve already spent so much energy into saving him, and we won’t lose on this last 4,000 RMB.”

This conversation had no start or end, and not a single character appeared. The different voices crossed over each other, but they answered the confusion from the few audiences just now — The issues of the dog’s future. This vet wearing a mask had already thought of solutions.

“Those people who just asked why the vet isn’t doing it for free, step out and accept your face-slaps!”

“People who had just now said saving the dog would be meaningless, come out and accept your face-slaps too!”

“All doctors should have a great love for everyone that’s beyond boundaries and should rescue all patients from torments. This vet has all of my respect.”

“I watched all of the four recent documentaries, and this one gives me the deepest impression. Sis and bro are all doing fine, and I hope these cute babies can all have good treatments.”

“Yes. I used to dislike animals, but even I’m touched right now.”

“I only want to know what is the ‘Moonlight incident’.”

Audiences who watched the documentaries and the fans of Princess Man were two different groups of people. Until now, they had not overlayed.

The screen turned black again, and a line of words appeared: “Da Huang is still resting in the clinic today, and he’s doing great recovering. The wheelchair customized for him is being worked on right now.”

To prove this sentence, the next scene was Da Huang laying on a specially made pet bed. A cone was put on his head to prevent him from licking his wounds, and his hind-legs were still covered. His pair of eyes were round and watery, and they looked very lively. A beautiful piano playing rose at this moment as if it was wishing for the day Da Huang could completely recover.

The scenery changed, and four pets appeared. Paul got into the scene once again as he introduced everyone to his buddies, “Now, I will introduce everyone to my friends. The blonde with green eyes is Daylight, the whitish-gray fur with green eyes is Moonlight. The white fur with different colored eyes is Melon, and as for this dog who has always been disliking me, you can call him any name. Sure, call him ‘fried dog’.”

The narrator, Paul, had just finished his sentence before the small Pomeranian with messy hair bared his teeth at him.

“The Pomeranian looks so tiny and playful.”

“The three cats are even cuter, okay? My heart is melting from the overload of cuteness.”

“These are all purebreds. According to Paul’s introduction, they should be British Shorthair (Gold-shaded), British Shorthair (Silver-shaded), and Persian cat in this order.”

“The three cats cost more than these two dogs.”

“Hey, hey, hey, you guys are focusing on the wrong thing. To me, no matter the price and the breed, every fluffy baby is cute.”

Paul’s narrative revealed the mystery of “‘Moonlight’s’ incident” for everyone: “My buddy, Moonlight, was in a similar situation as Da Huang. He was a stray animal on the streets. One day, a sis sent him here and requested for Yu Yu to save him. At that time, he was almost dying. Luckily, Yu Yu has very good medical skills and rescued him from the god of death. Later on, sis adopted him and gave him a cool name, ‘Moonlight’, which coincidentally matches Daylight.”

“So that’s what happened. I didn’t know that the silver shaded used to be a stray cat. Look at his fluffy, thick hair and his fat appearance. He doesn’t seem like he has a pitiful past at all.”

“I still feel like the names, ’Moonlight’ and ‘Daylight’, are all a bit familiar-sounding to me. I think I’ve heard them somewhere.”

“Same, I also feel they sound familiar.”

Just when the few audiences were feeling very confused, the side face of a sis appeared in the video. She put Moonlight on her laps, lowered her head, and petted the cat on his chin. Her long, straight hair spread onto her shoulders, and her eyes were very gentle.

This scene only lasted ten seconds. The sis only showed her side face, and everyone didn’t have the time to react before the scene flashed through.

“Were my eyes tricking me? Was that sis, just now, the Hanfu Goddess??”

“I rewound and went back to watch it again. It’s gotta be the Hanfu Goddess herself.”

“Mhm, I took a screenshot of it. She’s the Hanfu Goddess.”

“No wonder I said these cats look familiar, and their names sound familiar. They are the Hanfu Goddess’s pets. She often shows pictures of these two kittens on her Wei Bo.”

“This is magical. Who made this documentary? They actually invited the Hanfu Goddess and her cats to participate as special guests.”

“Compared with the Hanfu Goddess, I feel like Vet Yu is more attractive.”

At this moment, the video was placing the scene of Yu Zhan holding Moonlight high up into the air. He was still wearing a mask, and his pair of good-looking hands were holding onto the cat’s butt and jaw. His eyes locked into the cat’s green eyes as if he was trying to coax the kitten. Even the audiences outside the screen could feel his passion towards small animals.”

“This is so warm. Vet Yu is a super, super warmhearted person.”

Chapter 241: Vet Yu

This chapter is longer than usual. 😢 Enjoy! ❤


“This vet looks so handsome.”

“He’s only showing a pair of eyes, and you can tell he’s handsome??”

“His eyes are so good-looking, so the other parts on his face must not be bad either.”

“Hehe, what if he has buck teeth?”

“It’s very possible, or why does he always wear a mask whenever he gets filmed? He’s probably sorry for the lower half of his face.”

“Mhm. Wearing a mask is similar to why some men like wearing sunglasses. They usually wear sunglasses because their eyes look too ugly, and only the lower half of their face is barely enough to be seen.”

“But this vet’s eyes definitely look perfect, and his posture is very upright. My guts tell me he’s a handsome guy.”

Ever since Vet Yu appeared, the audiences had never stopped sending comments, which kept on flying over the screen.

“Hey, my poop carer is dealing with a patient right now. She’s a young German Shepherd, and her name is Fairy. Hi, Fairy sis.”

The German Shepherd, who was being held in Miss Yu’s arms at the moment, was as if responding to Paul when her black eyes coincidentally looked upward. The camera, at this moment, aimed at the German Shepherd’s stomach, giving it a close-up.

“Fairy sis, your stomach is so big. How long has it been since you got pregnant?”

The German Shepherd looked very uninterested and showed no intention in answering Paul’s question.

Paul continued to say, “Sis is very shy. Let’s ask her poop carer about how she’s doing.”

Miss Yu said, “She has been pregnant for sixty days, and the expected date is almost arriving, so we are visiting Vet Yu to confirm one more time whether she needs a cesarean operation.”

Tao Zhiyao did a great job on editing. Miss Yu was answering Sun Weiwei’s question in this part, but now, it seemed as if she was replying to Paul.

Miss Yu then started smiling. Her smile was sweet and was full of happiness, “I’m about to become a grandma!”

“Fairy’s owner seems so cute when she smiles.”

“She also seems a bit pretty even without smiling.”

“The dog looks so happy. She’s like a family member to her owner.”

Next, Paul stopped talking, and it was mainly a conversation between the vet and the German Shepherd’s owner about the cesarean operation.

“I just learned that even dogs can go through a caesarean operation!”

“You have such limited knowledge. Even rats can go through caesarean operations…”

“Dogs are just like humans. Sometimes, they would encounter dystocia. If their dystocia is critical, then they can possibly die.”

“It’s so magical. I don’t keep pets, and this is my first time getting to know a pet clinic. I feel like it’s no different than hospitals for humans.”

Then, the scene switched back to the pet clinic’s main hall. A young girl in a blue nurse uniform appeared, and Paul continued to introduce, “She’s Yu Yu’s assistant, sis nurse. Let’s get to know her daily job.”

“Sis nurse, what do you usually do for your job?”

The nurse thought seriously for a moment before saying: “I do a lot. I make up prescriptions, I do injections, and I help patients set up intravenous drips. During surgeries, I have to give my boss his scalpels, help him clean the wounds, and help him take out stitches. Oh, and every day before we operate, I have to tidy up the place. Sometimes I even have to walk my boss’s dog!”

“Hey, looks like sis nurse is very unwilling to walk me!” Paul said somberly.

The audience all laughed.

“Hahaha, so she has to walk this narrator dog.”

“There’s no way. She has to walk her boss’s dog.”

“Sis nurse looks as if she’s been mistreated, having to walk the dog.”

“But it does seem like she has a busy job.”

Among everyone’s laughter, the screen turned black, and a line of words described: “The German Shepherd’s owner, Miss Yu, agreed with Vet Yu to a cesarean operation for ‘Fairy’ after three days.”

The next scene was a closeup of a surgery lamp. There was no one to be seen, and the scene didn’t show any blood at all. However, the incoherent voice from that vet with really good-looking eyes just now could be heard:

“Urinal pad, toilet paper, gauze… hemostat, I just opened the stomach… Give me the strings…” A pair of hands wearing medical gloves appeared in the camera, not waiting for the audience to react. 

The camera turned, and seven cuties as big as mice could be seen, lying on the cotton cloth in neat rows. Sis nurse was cleaning the dirty spots on their bodies one by one. 

“Ahhh, so cute!”

“How can these pups be so small and so cute! Their mommy looks so domineering.”

“Seven at once. I feel like the German Shepherd mommy’s body got emptied all at once…”

“I can only see sis nurse. Sis is so careful and attentive.”

“I want to say this vet has such good-looking hands. It’s unfortunate that they were only on the screen for one to two seconds and flashed through quickly.”

“Initially, I came in because I was so bored. I didn’t think this documentary would get more interesting the more I watch it.”

“No matter the species, every life that got born can touch a person’s soul.”

Paul’s voice appeared again, “Fairy sis is now going to feed her babies. These scenes are inappropriate for children, so we won’t show them to everyone.”

The video screen turned black again, and another line of words appeared: “One day later”.

A young man with a Chinese Garden in his arms rushed in, “He got hit by a car.”

The narrator, Paul, screamed, “His legs seemed to have been crushed. Yu Yu, Yu Yu, come over here.”

Vet Yu, once again, appeared on the screen. The videographer only filmed half of his body, and nothing above his neck was shown. They could only hear his voice, “The situation’s bad. Prepare a surgery now.”

“I’ve visited multiple pet clinics. All of them are either still closed or are unwilling to take him in.”

“Wait, I want to ask. How much will I need to pay? I’ve just started working recently, and I only have 4,500 RMB on my salary card. Just now, the front desk of another pet clinic said they will need 15,000 RMB with such a situation.”

“Here, we only need 1,500 RMB.”

The flying comments in the video instantly increased like mountains of cow hair.

“I’m dropping a like on Vet Yu!”

“Whether he’s handsome or ugly, his style seems very handsome to me.”

“Whoever said they need 15,000 RMB is morally corrupted.”

“The pets medical industry is very violent and morally corrupted indeed. People who have the money to keep pets naturally have the money to send their pets to vets.”

“Godly logic. You don’t need much money to keep a pet. If you manage to save some feast money every month, you will be able to get a cat or a dog.”

“Yeah, yeah. Are the poor not allowed to keep pets now?”

“Since Vet Yu knew this boy was short of money, why didn’t he do all he can to help the pet? Why didn’t he treat the dog for free? 1,500 RMB is still a little expensive.”

“Do you know that this counts as a moral kidnapping? They are opening up a pet clinic; don’t they need to earn money? They are working so hard; are they donating kindness to the society?”

“It’s obvious that this rural dog’s hind-legs have been crushed, and the surgery is at a high level of difficulty. I think 15,000 RMB as the surgery fee is very logical, and this Vet Yu really is being a benefactor.”

All the netizens were arguing against each other on the medical fee problem.

The story in the video still continued. The young man had very red eyes, and he awkwardly covered his face with his hands, “Don’t film this part.”

Paul, the narrator, sighed, “Aiya, this bro is almost crying, too.”

The netizens heard him and stopped debating. They continued to watch the video in silence.

Chapter 240: Releasing the Documentaries

“How horrible are the summertime TV shows? I’m actually watching a documentary in front of my computer right now.”

“But this documentary surely is better than those low IQ shows. I’ve just learned there are so many gossip stories in the Ming and Qing dynasties, especially the concubines’ lives in reality. They are much more pitiful than the concubines in the TV shows acted by actors.”

“No need to say more. Just for these six precious artifacts, I will give it a five-stars review.”

“I think this documentary is very meaningful. The artifacts recorded the changes of the dynasties, and they witnessed wars and the separations of families. I will also give this documentary a five-star.”

“I’ve been to the forbidden city twice, and every time, except for the photos I took, I always felt like I learned nothing. I didn’t understand the stories behind these artifacts at all. I’m prepared to go there again.”

“I love documentaries about history. I love artifacts, I love the history, and I love China!”

Guo Nan had some skills. His documentary had a high-tiered starting point that traveled back six hundred years so the audience could experience the history these old items carried. The summary of the documentary read: “Spreading Chinese traditional culture”.

On the evening of August 2nd, before the second documentary was released, “Six Hundred Years of the Forbidden City” already had more than 50k views. However, some people still only gave it a one-star review.

“The six stories are not at all logical and are incoherent. I feel like the author randomly picked some stories on the internet before they went to the forbidden city to look for corresponding artifacts. Therefore, some details cannot be expressed at all, and they look very stiff.”

“The actors being the background in stories look very awkward. In some scenes, I felt they were almost going to start laughing. Can they please put in more effort? This is a documentary produced by the national TV department, after all. Why isn’t the production carefully done?”

“I think the producer of this documentary must be a neophyte. Many transitions of some scenes were edited weirdly. The previous story wasn’t even done, and it just suddenly stops before quickly rushing into the next story. This affects my sensory organ. Sorry, I will only give it a one-star.”

“Same. The script probably wasn’t done, and they didn’t know how to continue filming, so they probably directly started the second story.”

Because “Six Hundred Years of the Forbidden City” was unexpectedly welcomed by many youngsters. “Daily Life in the Live News Room” had just got released on the official national TV website before someone transferred it to other more popular websites.

“Daily Life in the Live News Room” was just like it sounded, and it told the story of how live news anchors worked behind-the-scenes. This producer, within ten days, followed two tier-three anchors in the national department and live-recorded their daily routines before editing them into a documentary.

“I love this idea! Just by looking at the title, I will give it a five-star.”

“My mom likes the news from these two anchors! She’s watching the documentary with me right now.”

“The female live-streamer is so pretty. Hehehe, I’m giving it a five-star.”

“News anchors always look super serious on the TV, but I didn’t expect them to be no different from us normal people in private.”

“This is okay. I don’t think it’s better than yesterday’s ‘Six Hundred Years of the Forbidden City’, though.”

“I feel like this is similar to one of those reality shows with media show celebrities in them. There’s nothing unique about this. I’ll give it a three-star.”

“And these people talk in very formal styles as if they are reading from a script. This is not a live record at all. I’m only giving it a one-star.”

“I skipped through most parts. There are no climax spots, and it’s not funny. It really is a “daily” documentary, and to be honest, it’s a bit boring. I’m giving it a two-star.”

“Daily Life in the Live News Room” obviously did not get welcomed as much as “Six Hundred Years in the Forbidden City” did. After one day, it only received a bit more than 10k views.

On August 3rd, “Lights of the City” got released. That same person, just like the last two times, swiftly transferred it to the other websites.

“Lights of the City” was more closer to reality. It described five jobs in the city that silently contributed to society, including the cleaning crew, traffic officers, nurses, kindergarten teachers, and construction site employees. It meant that normal people were the lights of the city.

“To be honest, the plot is a bit too cliché. I’m giving it a one-star at most.”

“Mhm, and the entire documentary is forcing people to be sentimental, but I haven’t found a single place that makes me want to cry. I’m giving it a one-star too.”

“I admit that these people are very tired and are very hardworking, but normal people, like us, don’t have easy and relaxing jobs either. Didn’t the money we earn come from our hard work? Three stars.”

“I want to say that my cousin is a kindergarten teacher. She’s not that admirable like kindergarten teachers described in the video. Every time I see her, she would complain to us about how annoying the kids are. ‘Annoying’ comes from her original complaint. She says that sometimes, she wishes she can throttle them.”

“Your cousin is so horrifying. Which kindergarten does she work at? We’ll make sure we don’t choose that one.”

“They’re just complaining orally. If her cousin is unscrupulous, the commenter wouldn’t have said it.”

“In every job, there are admirable people but also scumbags. I don’t like the feeling of being represented and being stereotyped. One-star.”

“Lights of the City” had an even worse effect than “Daily Life in the Live News Room”; there were only a bit more than 7,000 views, and the popularity soon sank.

Until now, “Six Hundred Years of the Forbidden City” had a rating of 4.6, “Daily Life in the Live News Room” had a rating of 3.9, and “Lights of the City” had a rating of 3.2.

On August 4th, Ye Ziliang’s ‘Vet’s Cuties’ finally got released online.

Because the previous three documentaries were getting worse and worse effects, the fourth documentary would probably be even worse according to the pattern. Therefore, that person who transferred the documentaries did not upload that video so quickly like before. He first watched it on the national TV website himself.

After he finished watching it, he couldn’t resist but watch it a second time!

After his second time watching it, he finally pulled himself back to reality and uploaded this documentary to the other websites.

For his three previous uploads, he had never written any extra comments for the documentaries due to his laziness. This time, he couldn’t hold back the excitement inside, and he wrote in the “remarks” column: “This documentary is a treasure! It’s worthy for you to spend thirty minutes in your life to watch it.”

His remark was so exaggerated that people who initially had no interest became intrigued.

The audience first looked at the title — “Vet’s Cuties”. Was it about pet hospitals? The idea was quite unprecedented.

When the video was first clicked open, a lively and joyful piano playing first came to one’s hearing, and as the music went, a dog’s head suddenly appeared on the screen. The audience who knew about dogs all recognized that this was an Alaska. The Alaska’s mouth was open, and the corners of his lips were pointing upward. He was showing a dumb smile.

“Such a cute doggo! Definitely a cute pet!”

“I love the three dumb sled dogs! Each one is dumber than the previous.”

TL’s Note: The “three dumb sled dogs” are how people refer to the three dogs: Husky, Alaska, and the Samoyed.

The piano gets softer and softer, and with the piano as accompaniment, the dog suddenly starts talking: “Hello, everyone. My name is Paul. I’m an Alaska Alamute that was born in America. This is where my poop carer works.” As the dog explained, the scene switched to the entrance of the pet clinic. The signboard got blurred out, and the audience could only see: “Medical Services for Pets: Mondays to Sundays: 9 a.m — 10 p.m. The clinic will be closed on Tuesdays” in blue font.

“I often hang out to play around here, too. Here, let me introduce you all to my most admired poop carer…”

A man in asepsis clothing, who was wearing a mask, appeared in the scene. In his hands was a medical report as he talked to a client. His eyes, just as how the doggo introduced, were attentive and serious.

Chapter 239: Penalty

On the second day, Zhang Pei when to the old storage place to send out products with the employees. Liu Man was at the new warehouse, so she wasn’t worried at all.

At noon, when it was lunchtime, Owner Wang took the lunchboxes up for them. Zhang Pei was very familiar with Owner Wang now; she knew that whenever he came upstairs, he must have something to talk to her about.

Sure enough, Owner Wang said, “Owner Zhang, I need to negotiate with you about something.”

He said in an obsequious tone. It was obvious he had a request for Zhang Pei.

Zhang Pei was exhausted from dealing with Liu Chengyu, so she was in no mood to entangle with Owner Wang, “What is it? You can directly say it.”

“I would like to take back the second floor,” Even Owner Wang himself felt too awkward. His voice was very tiny, “I’m not renting it out anymore.”

Ever since the last time Liu Man visited his restaurant, she had brought him lots of popularity. His restaurant instantly became a very well-known cyber star shop.

Owner Wang’s business could not be even better. Spots were reserved every day, especially at dinner. The line with customers waiting and holding numbers usually could reach the entrance of the pet clinic.

As for during the time Ye Ziliang and the others were filming the documentary, they had never even thought about eating at Owner Wang’s, for they could never squeeze in.

The first floor could no longer hold so many customers, Owner Wang naturally wanted to take back the second floor, which initially belonged to him, so he could earn more money.

The problem was, the contract Owner Wang and Liu Man had signed lasted for one year. Now, only half a year had passed since they signed the contract. Owner Wang was obviously violating the contract.

He knew he was the unreasonable one regarding this matter, so he took the initiative to say, “The deposit and the rest of the rent will be refunded to you at that time. I will give you every single penny I promised.”

Zhang Pei did not reply. She was thinking about her and Liu Man’s plan.

After renting the warehouse, they were already planning on leaving the old storage space. This place was too small to be a warehouse, and it was inconvenient to both unload and load products. If they stop renting this place, they would be able to save 14k RMB every month.

They had already thought about it. At the end of August, the warehouse makeover should be almost done. After they were sure they would be able to use it regularly, they would leave Owner Wang’s house. The penalty for violating the contract was the deposit, and they wouldn’t want the deposit back anyway.”

They didn’t expect Owner Wang to ask them first. This was such a lucky coincidence, but unlucky at the same time; there was still an entire month before they reach the end of August.

Zhang Pei asked, “When do you want us to leave?”

As soon as possible, of course!

Owner Wang only dared to think about it, and he said,

“We can negotiate about that.”

Zhang Pei started manipulating the penalty. She had read the contract before. No matter which side violated the contract, they would have to pay the other side the penalty. Owner Wang was obviously violating the contract first.

She was already very familiar with Owner Wang. Should she ask for this money? Besides, she knew Owner Wang’s restaurant got popular and his business became very good all because of Liu Man.

Owner Wang, seeing how Zhang Pei had not been replying at all, assumed she was upset and was reluctant to leave. After all, their business was very popular, too. Every single day, huge delivery vans came over to get their products. Where could they find another fitting storage space now that he was suddenly kicking them out?

He thought about it for a moment. He was very clear that Liu Man was the sole reason why his restaurant got popular. If he offends Liu Man, she could make a protesting video online, and he would be a complete goner, “How about this? I will let you continue renting this place until the end of August. You have one month to find a new place.”

“Let’s do this according to the rules on the contract. Excluding that, you must give us one month’s worth of rent as the penalty. On the 31st of August, we will leave right on time. You must give us 42k.”

Zhang Pei’s official attitude made Owner Wang feel very uncomfortable, “Owner Zhang, we are already friends. Why are you so merciless?”

“Weren’t you merciless when you told me you want us to leave?”

Owner Wang laughed awkwardly and could only accept this deal. He would treat this money as the fee for Liu Man’s advertising, and it would be worth it.

Before he left, he told Zhang Pei, “But people like us, who do business, cannot be too softhearted anyways, or else we won’t be able to earn money.”

Zhang Pei let these words melt into her heart. Mhm, her heart was getting harder and harder right now, especially towards her husband.

After the filming stage of “Vet’s Cuties” ended, it immediately entered the editing stage. The entire team got together and cooperated, and they finally finished all the work at the end of July.

On July 28th, Ye Ziliang handed in everyone’s hard work to the documentary department. The leader opened the documentary files from the other three and glanced through them briefly, and only Ye Ziliang’s work did not get looked at at all. The leader told Ye Ziliang, “Copy it over and it’ll be fine. Later, the website’s video team will upload your video. Just wait for the results.”

The leader didn’t put any hopes into his work. His words were basically implying that after the results come out, Ye Ziliang would naturally be out, and he wouldn’t be a subordinate to him anymore.

Ye Ziliang could hear the chuckling from his three competitors. 

Guo Nan’s chuckling was especially loud.

Ye Ziliang felt very upset. His yearning for a reward wasn’t as strong as back when he first received his task.

He had tried very hard with everyone on his team for almost a month, and he really enjoyed the process of their fighting. He no longer focused on the final result and didn’t care about winning. He only wanted the video he and the others worked so hard on to receive the most basic respect, but his boss could not even do that.

Ye Ziliang asked himself:

He did all he could just to stay in such a work environment and to get an official job here. Were his actions worth it?

On July 29th, 30th, and 31st, the recommendation homepage of the national TV department’s official website changed into an image. The image read: “The documentary team will post a new documentary every day starting from next Monday, and this will continue for four days. We hope you look forward to them.” Besides these words listed the four documentaries’ titles: “Six Hundred Years of the Forbidden City”, “Daily Life in the Live News Room”, “Lights of the City”, and “Vet’s Cuties”.

“Vet’s Cuties” was listed last. Obviously, they didn’t pay any attention to Ye Ziliang’s work.

On August 1st, “Six Hundred Years of the Forbidden City” was the first to get played on the national TV department’s official video website.

Compared to the other video websites, the official national TV department’s website had very less visitors. This website featured more traditional work, and the audience was mostly people above forty-years-old. Most of them chose to watch the programs on TV, and they rarely go online. Even if there were lots of advertising in the past three days, “Six Hundred Years of the Forbidden City” still received very less views. There were only 1,000 views and only nine comments.

However, in the early morning next day, some youngsters who had nothing to do and stayed up overnight discovered the new documentary the national TV department came up with, realized it was pretty good, and immediately transferred this video to video websites that younger age groups liked. On these websites, “Six Hundred Years of the Forbidden City”s’ views immediately grew on an exponential scale.

“Six Hundred Years of the Forbidden City” was centered around introducing the past of six artifacts. It introduced the stories of historical figures behind these artifacts and their complex relationships. The times varied went from the start of the Ming Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty, which crossed six hundred years. The film introduced one artifact from each decade.
