After Transmigrating into a Cannon Fodder Submissive, I Became Popular by Foraging on the Beach - Chapter 11

The people picking him up were waiting anxiously outside.

Most of the crew only knew that Shen Qiu was pushed in by the ‘sugar daddy,’ and the staff respectfully brought him to the guesthouse for filming.

In the car, Shen Qiu listened carefully to Assistant Xiao Zhang’s introduction.

Besides him, there were three men and one woman.

Zhou Bin and Jiang Wei were a very loving celebrity couple, very popular in previous years. Jiang Wei had retired from the circle due to pregnancy and childbirth but still had a fan base.

The other two were Zhong Zhanhong, a perennial supporting actor, and Wang Xiaobai, an idol good at singing and dancing.

In short, everyone was more popular than Shen Qiu.

No wonder so many people online had complaints.

Real insiders were accustomed to all kinds of people and wouldn’t show displeasure over such a small matter.

Only Wang Xiaobai, being young, pouted and quietly complained to Sister Jiang: “Although the original Gao Peng was difficult to get along with, he’s better than the newcomer. Who knows what kind of person this Shen Qiu is.”

Jiang Wei had a wider network and vaguely knew that Shen Qiu had support behind him. She hinted vaguely: “He should be easy to get along with. There’s no need to make an enemy of anyone.”

Just as they were talking, the production team brought Shen Qiu over.

Shen Qiu smiled as he opened the car door and greeted everyone one by one.

He was naturally delicate and handsome, with a pair of gentle and polite almond eyes. His sweet smile made him look even more harmless.

No wonder he could join the cast, someone sighed inwardly.

His appearance was considered above average in the entertainment industry.

Although not stunning, he clearly hadn’t had plastic surgery, giving him a natural, enduring appeal.

The four guests were relieved to see his good nature and introduced themselves to get acquainted.

The director briefly introduced the accommodation arrangements and the five-day plan for the guesthouse, giving an awkward smile.

He glanced nervously at Shen Qiu.

He had just been urgently notified that this person was President Lu’s certified partner. The director quickly called a friend to inquire.

Upon hearing it, his friend hissed through gritted teeth: “Young Master Shen from the Shen family?! He is, well, unruly… I haven’t personally interacted with him.”

The director’s head hurt, understanding the implication.

Shen Qiu had a bad temper.

He didn’t know what the big boss was thinking, but the director could only brace himself and proceed with caution.

“Although the official recording starts tomorrow, we will be releasing some clips from time to time.”

“Since we have a new guest joining today, let’s play a small game to get to know each other!”

“Okay.” Shen Qiu nodded along with the others.

The director saw his obedient appearance, hesitated for a moment, and thought he seemed quite easy to get along with.

Could he be that good at faking it?

The director continued: “It’s Truth or Dare!”

“That’s so tacky!” Wang Xiaobai complained. His cheerful personality quickly warmed up the atmosphere.

The five people sat around the table, and the production team brought five cards.

“The person who draws the Joker can pick a number, and the person with that number receives the punishment, which can be either Truth or Dare.”

“Why is it always this game,” Zhong Zhanhong said, laughing wryly. “I’m going to be miserable.”

Jiang Wei smiled: “Whose fault is bad luck?”

Sure enough, after the game started, Zhong Zhanhong was punished several times in a row.

Zhong Zhanhong: “It’s finally not me!”

Zhou Bin raised his hand: “It’s me. Dare, please.”

Wang Xiaobai chuckled strangely: “Good, Brother Zhou, give Sister Jiang a princess carry!”

Zhou Bin looked at Jiang Wei, his ears turning red.

“Hurry, hurry, no chickening out!”

Zhou Bin had no choice but to lift Jiang Wei. The two looked relaxed and sweet.

Everyone cheered.

The director also nodded in approval. It was this kind of couple that could boost popularity.

He stood by and signaled that they could include more public displays of affection.

Sweet to death the audience.

“Alright, alright! Who is actually being punished? How did I get dragged into this too!” Jiang Wei smiled and scolded, leaning closer to Zhou Bin.

Everyone quickly started the next round. Jiang Wei drew the Joker: “Then let’s go with number three.”

Shen Qiu looked down and saw that he was holding number three. He conceded: “Truth, I guess.”

Wang Xiaobai jumped up in place, rubbing his hands: “It’s finally your turn. Everyone is dying of curiosity about you.”

He leaned close to Jiang Wei, whispered and discussed for a long time, and then asked a gentle question: “Tell us what kind of person the one you love is.”

Shen Qiu thought of Lu Yidong, paused, and his eyes scanned the director’s cue card outside the camera frame.

He lowered his head slightly, a shy smile appearing on his face: “The person I love is my husband.”

Wang Xiaobai chuckled: “We know you’re married. Just tell us what he’s like.”

“Tall and handsome, gentle and thoughtful,” Shen Qiu squeezed his fingers, feeling a little hot in the face, which perfectly conveyed shyness. “He helps me out of trouble and pushes the dishes I like to eat towards me.”

“I like to cook, and he follows me into the kitchen to help. Even though his work is very busy, he comes down on time whenever I cook.”

Wang Xiaobai cupped his face, looking like the ‘dog food’ was delicious.

Everyone cheered: “Tell us how you met!”

Shen Qiu didn’t fall for it: “That’s the next question!”

Everyone started drawing cards again, and it was Shen Qiu again.

He was called up, and he joked helplessly: “There must be some shady business! You’re ganging up on me… Can I choose Dare?”

“No!”

“Hurry up and feed the gossip into my mouth!”

“How did you meet?”

Shen Qiu thought about it: “He and I are both outside the circle. We met through friends at a party and added each other on WeChat. Later, we ran into each other a few times, started chatting on WeChat, slowly got familiar, and then got together.”

“I was just walking down the street, and I didn’t expect him to happen to stop his car and get out,” Shen Qiu said slowly, his eyes smiling.

“Running into each other! So coincidental and sweet!”

Shen Qiu was punished several times in a row, revealing some details of their life together. His eyes were bright, and the memories seemed sweet.

“I’m dying from the cuteness. He even heats up milk for him in the middle of the night,” Wang Xiaobai whined.

Shen Qiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the two had lived together for a few days, so he maintained his professional ethics.

The questions were mostly covered. Wang Xiaobai frowned, deep in thought: “One last question… So, why did you want to be on this show?”

“I really like traveling and cooking. I signed up thinking it would be fun to play around, and I didn’t expect to be selected.”

“Playing around…” Wang Xiaobai blinked. “That simple?”

Shen Qiu joked: “It might also be because I’m cheaper.”

Yes, he only charged Lu Yidong one dollar.

Jiang Wei covered her mouth and laughed, interrupting them: “You’re too cute.”

Everyone tacitly changed the subject.

After the game segment was recorded, it was already about nine or ten o’clock at night.

Everyone started getting up one after another.

“I’m exhausted from recording. I’m hungry.” Wang Xiaobai opened the refrigerator. “There’s no food…”

Shen Qiu stopped when he heard this: “I’m a little hungry too. Should we make some late-night snacks?”

“Shen Qiu, you can cook too?” Jiang Wei peeked over and asked. “Oh, right, I forgot you’re a food blogger.”

She happily patted Shen Qiu’s shoulder: “That’s great! You don’t know how painful it was for me to cook for several big men before!”

Shen Qiu smiled: “Want to join us?”

Jiang Wei’s face dropped: “No, my manager doesn’t let me eat late-night snacks.”

Shen Qiu nodded and said to Wang Xiaobai: “Then let’s just boil some noodles; it’ll be quick.”

Getting a response, he put water on to boil and fried two poached eggs while adding the noodles.

Shen Qiu also sliced and lightly fried some ham sausage, getting it nice and crispy.

He then put some seasoning in the bowl and poured hot broth over it to bring out the aroma.

He added the sautéed ham sausage and the fried egg. The fried egg, soaked in the broth, would surely burst with savory and hot juice with one bite.

Soon, he served two bowls of noodles.

Zhong Zhanhong was drawn over by the smell: “What delicious thing are you secretly eating?”

Wang Xiaobai wiped his saliva: “Absolutely amazing. I’ll carry the bowls!”

“Want me to serve you some too?”

Zhong Zhanhong: “Thank you very much.”

Shen Qiu pushed a bowl towards Zhong Zhanhong. He then caught sight of Jiang Wei staring at the noodles, and he covered her mouth and whispered: “It’s okay to eat a little secretly. The manager won’t know anyway.”

He scooped a small bowl for Jiang Wei. Jiang Wei couldn’t resist the temptation either and joined the late-night snack army.

While eating, she complained to Zhou Bin: “Boohoohoo, Honey, I’m going to get fat again…”

Zhou Bin handed her a tissue to wipe her mouth: “No, you still look beautiful.”

“Wow, thank you for feeding us another meal of ‘dog food’.”

Everyone laughed heartily.

Shen Qiu won everyone over with a late-night snack.

“I want to eat the chef’s cooking tomorrow too!”

Amidst the aroma of the food, everyone collectively lost their memory, forgetting that there were 24-hour cameras on in the living room.

The program director watched the monitor and breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Qiu was very cooperative, and at least he was easy to get along with while working.

It was fortunate that his friend’s information was inaccurate.

“Edit a clip; release it tomorrow for promotion.”

A staff member agreed: “Shen Qiu adapts quickly. The person in charge has good judgment.”

The clip editing was easy. The next day, riding the wave of popularity, the official Weibo account posted a new message.

“The ‘Experiencing Life’ guests meet. The last madness before recording begins?”
