Just when Shu Yimeng was at a loss whether to stay or leave, Lin Cheng finally spoke.

“I can buy the video in your hand.”

“Buy it?” Shu Yimeng was stunned, frowned, and then refused, “I’m sorry, I’m not short of money.”

If the video ended up in the hands of different people, each may use different means to make use of it and it may achieve different results. If he really sold the video to Lin Cheng, the final result may not be in his favor.

Lin Cheng was not in a hurry and asked again, “What if I exchange it for something you are interested in?”

“What do you mean?”

Lin Cheng didn’t say anything, took his mobile phone, typed a message and sent it out.

Shu Yimeng didn’t know what Lin Cheng was up to, so he stood up.

“My time is limited. If you don’t want to cooperate, we can only wait for the result,” Shu Yimeng said and prepared to leave.

At this moment, Shu Yimeng’s mobile phone rang.

Seeing the name on the caller ID, Shu Yimeng’s expression changed slightly. He stood up and walked outside the booth to answer the call.

“Hey, Sister Liu.”

Ever since he decided to take action against his agent, Shu Yimeng left himself a way out.

Liu Min was an agent from Starstone Entertainment Company. Her ability was not inferior to Sun Yanzhou, but she currently had no outstanding artists, only a few idol groups that have not yet debuted.

As early as a week ago, Shu Yimeng has already begun to secretly cooperate with the other party.

“Is there any news about the endorsement of ‘Amaranth’?”

“No, the endorsement selection of ‘Amaranth’ is now over. I don’t know if Mr. Sun said anything to the other party. Their reply was only one sentence, ‘Le Bai is more in line with their brand image.’

“But I have another news to tell you.”

“What?”

“You know ‘Promise’, right? The other party just contacted our company specifically, saying that there is a series of products that specifically asked you to endorse.”

“‘Promise’?! How is it possible! You must have heard it wrong!”

‘Promise’ was a high-quality home furnishing brand like ‘Amaranth’, but the brand positioning was much higher than ‘Amaranth’.

It wasn’t that Shu Yimeng was not confident. It was fact that, with his status, it was impossible for him to get the endorsement for ‘Promise’, even if it is just one series out of their many products.

“It’s true. Mr. Lin told me confidentially. The news has not reached Mr. Sun yet, so I wanted to tell you about it first.” After that, Liu Min said, “I also want to ask you if you have encountered any opportunities or met any people recently…”

“It’s not from my end…” Halfway through the sentence, Shu Yimeng suddenly thought of Lin Cheng’s action of sending a message just now.

“Wait a minute, I have to confirm it again.” Shu Yimeng hung up the phone.

He remembered some details in the conversation between Sun Yanzhou and Le Bai that he had overlooked. The person who wanted to harm Lin Cheng was not an ordinary person.

Recal the invisible sense of oppression that Lin Cheng had given him when he was talking to him just now, Shu Yimeng had a certain guess in his mind: Could it be that Lin Cheng’s identity itself was not simple? 

The blackening done against him before might just be due to the struggles inside a big capitalist family.

Now full of doubts, Shu Yimeng returned to the room.

Seeing Shu Yimeng coming back, Lin Cheng didn’t waste any words and said directly, “Five first-class resources to buy the video in your hand.”

Lin Cheng’s words confirmed Shu Yimeng’s guess.

Such conditions made Shu Yimeng excited.

“But…” Shu Yimeng opened his mouth.

Originally, Shu Yimeng wanted to get more benefits, but facing Lin Cheng’s attitude of ‘not willing to bargain’, Shu Yimeng backed off.

In the end, Shu Yimeng accepted Lin Cheng’s conditions and sold the video to him for the ‘price’ of five first-class resources. 

… …

After getting the source file of the video from Shu Yimeng and confirming that all the saved files and backups of the video were deleted, Lin Cheng gave the video to Wang Yu for processing. 

Then he continued to watch videos on what primary school students should do before school starts on his mobile phone.

Friday came soon enough. Just after breakfast, Lin Cheng took Lin Momo and father and daughter set off to Starstone Entertainment Company.

The company had arranged the itinerary in advance.

So, after meeting with Chen Yu, Wang Xi, and Zhou Qi, the group quickly arrived at the recording site of [Entertainment Forum].

Lin Cheng was the main guest of this episode.

However, when they got to the recording studio, in addition to the father-daughter combination of Lin Cheng and Lin Momo, there were 4 other parent-child combinations: a TV actor in his early thirties and his 7-year-old daughter; an actress who retired a few years ago and recently returned to the entertainment industry and her 9-year-old son; a male streamer who originally made his name as an Internet celebrity and has just now stepped into the ranks of stars and his 4-year-old son; and an out-of-date male singer and his 12-year-old son.

When these people met backstage, they greeted each other awkwardly. 

It was not until Lin Cheng’s team entered the dressing room prepared by the program team for him, closed the door, and confirmed that no recording was going on in the room, that Wang Xi started complaining.

“What’s going on? Didn’t they say that Brother Cheng and Momo are the main guests? Why did they invite so many parent-child teams?” Wang Xi said, frowning.

According to the plan set by the program team, the theme of this episode should have been ‘Life’. In addition to Lin Cheng and Lin Momo, the other guests that the program team would invite were experts from all walks of life and some trainees who were about to debut.

“I just heard the news too,” Chen Yu said in a deep voice.

After a pause, Chen Yu said, “But it’s normal. After all, [Living with Dad] is popular, and everyone wants to take advantage of the popularity.” 

With the popularity of [Living with Dad], many platforms have also followed suit and launched similar parent-child programs. [Mom and Baby], [Almighty Dad], [Mom, Go Forward]… Such programs could now be seen everywhere.

The celebrity parent-child guests invited today were from these other parent-child programs.

With [Living with Dad] in the forefront, it was not easy for other programs or guests to become popular immediately, so they thought of this method of promotion—that is, riding on the popularity of [Living with Dad].

[Entertainment Forum] followed the trend and changed the theme of this episode to parent-child theme.

“This is much too tricky…” Wang Xi muttered.

“It’s a trick, but it’s not completely without benefits.” After a pause, Chen Yu said, “At least now it is certain that Brother Cheng episode will be broadcast on Blue Channel in the near future.”

“Well, isn’t that also because Brother Cheng and Momo have become popular recently,” Wang Xi complained again.

It was not until they heard footsteps approaching that Wang Xi stopped expressing her displeasure.
