Chapter 50 : Jiang Yin: Where Are There So Many Aluminum Passes in This World?!

The program’s Director sat in front of the monitor, frowning as he watched the footage from the camera.

“Director, what’s wrong?”

The Assistant looked at his expression curiously.

“Don’t you feel like… something’s off in this scene?”

“Off?”

The Assistant glanced at the screen.

The live broadcast hadn’t officially started yet.

Jiang Yin and the other two were just standing in front of the camera, chatting casually, trying to create a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere.

Jiang Yin and Wen Ling’s looks went without saying.

Zhang Feng was also quite handsome, considering he took on these science popularization jobs regularly.

Though his vibe was a bit melancholic, he looked righteous—a type that gave a strong sense of security.

Handsome men and beautiful women—the Assistant really couldn’t see what was wrong.

“Where’s the problem, Director? Isn’t this pretty good?”

“And the Teacher we invited isn’t afraid of the camera either, chatting openly with Teacher Zhang…”

“I told you, something’s off!”

The Director slapped his thigh, pointing at Jiang Yin and Zhang Feng laughing like old friends on the screen.

Then he glanced at Wen Ling, who looked completely bewildered, unable to keep up with the conversation.

“Dammit! She really turned into a guest!”

Yesterday, when the Director impulsively signed Jiang Yin, he hadn’t thought much about it.

He just felt this girl was beautiful, confident, and could bring some buzz—so he spent the money and signed her.

But now, things looked off.

Their original guest’s spotlight had been stolen!

When he took on this travel variety show centered around publicity, the Director’s plan was to invite a simple, popular Little Flower to act as a foil for the Investigator sent by the Bureau.

During the day, Wen Ling would be the focus—showcasing scenery and food, creating a lighthearted vibe.

At night, Zhang Feng would take the lead—highlighting mysterious talks and haunted house explorations for a more thrilling feel.

This approach might not make the show a huge hit, but it was stable with a consistent audience—enough to complete the station’s publicity task.

But now, everything looked wrong.

It was ruined.

In a program like this, if a girl suddenly appears—one whose style is boyish, who’s more beautiful than Wen Ling, gets along better with the Investigator, and might even have other special talents—wouldn’t all the viewers and cameras focus on Jiang Yin instead!?

Normally, as a Director, you’d give the spotlight to whoever the audience liked.

Wen Ling?

Could a mere Little Flower who’s only been popular for two years dare raise her voice to a Director?

But Wen Ling’s background…

What a joke.

In today’s entertainment industry, especially among idols, is the leading role in a period idol drama—the most coveted position for boosting fame—something just anyone can play!?

Without strong connections, would this simple girl get such good resources?

But the contract was signed.

It wasn’t possible to suddenly terminate it—money was a small issue.

And with this white-haired girl’s personality, she’d happily take the cash and not work at all if she could.

But in yesterday’s live chat, a lot of viewers had stayed just for Jiang Yin’s face.

Suddenly saying she won’t appear anymore… that would cause a whole new stir.

Before they left, the Station Head specifically emphasized that the show should not strive for merit, but avoid mistakes.

Now even such a simple task had gotten complicated because of him as Director.

Thinking of the Station Head’s fierce kick, the Director felt he needed to come up with something.

“Director, you called me?”

Suddenly summoned, Jiang Yin looked completely baffled.

She hadn’t done anything.

Why did the Director suddenly want to see her?

But since she took their money, Jiang Yin was professional.

As long as it wasn’t unreasonable, she was willing to put in some extra effort.

As a seasoned corporate worker, she’d been well trained by society.

“Um… Jiang…”

Before the Director could finish, Jiang Yin glanced at Wen Ling, who was watching curiously not far away.

She cleared her throat.

“Director, confidentiality agreement.”

“Oh, oh, Teacher Wei.”

“You see, can we do it like this…”

“What happened? What did the Director say to you?”

Seeing Jiang Yin return with a strange expression, Wen Ling couldn’t suppress her curiosity and chased after her.

“Nothing, just…”

Jiang Yin blinked, hesitating.

“Ling Ling, you like boys, right?”

“Of course!”

“Why are you asking all of a sudden?”

Seeing her answer so firmly, Jiang Yin quietly breathed a sigh of relief and mocked herself in her heart.

‘That old Dahuang messed with me so much I developed PTSD—like there are that many aluminum enthusiasts in real life.’

“It’s just, um~”

Feeling instantly lighter, Jiang Yin grinned mischievously and whispered in Wen Ling’s ear.

“The Director wants me and you to act a bit more intimate.”

Wen Ling was stunned for a moment, not understanding at first.

Then her earlobes suddenly turned red.

But she played it off well, pretending to be angry as she put her hands on her hips and stared wide-eyed.

“Wei, do you look down on me?”

“I’m an actress! Stirring up a screen CP is totally normal!”

She patted her soft chest confidently.

“Just leave it to me! I’m experienced in this area!”

“We’re professionals!”

Jiang Yin was actually fooled by her acting, smiling as she gave her a thumbs up.

“Reliable!”

‘Director, you’re a real genius.’

The girl secretly complained.

But thinking about it, celebrities faking CPs wasn’t a big deal in the entertainment industry.

There were so many screen CPs and fake CPs—whether they were real or not, audiences loved watching it.

“I’m inexperienced, so Ling Ling, guide me a bit, okay?”

“Don’t worry!”

Jiang Yin’s work ethic, after getting paid, was truly impeccable—and she had a lot of ideas.

Since they were going to act close anyway, she figured she might as well give the live audience a little aluminum shock—she herself had no experience with this kind of thing.

Qv Si Nan did though!

Back when that girl was flirting, Jiang Yin had witnessed it many times.

She’d learned just by watching.

Previously, she couldn’t use Qv Si Nan’s flirting moves because they depended too much on Modeling.

As a man, Jiang Yin would’ve just looked like a pervert.

But now…

She looked at her slender hand, sighed, but her lips still smiled.

At nine in the morning, the live stream started right on time.

Before the black screen had even faded, the barrage of messages from excited Wen Ling fans had already started.

The next second, they were all face-to-face with a powerful visual attack.

A white-haired, violet-eyed girl stood in the sunlight, gently sweeping her hair behind her ear.

She placed her index finger to her lips and winked playfully at the camera.

“Shh~~”

[Open the door! I know Ling Ling is home!]

[I want to see Ling Ling… Wei-jie, you’re so beautiful!]

[Ahhhhh! How can she be so pure, so seductive, and so cute at the same time!]

[Your mischievous smile is the tide of my faith!]

[Ahhh! Big sister, please take my bitter tea seed!]

“Don’t worry, everyone, Ling Ling’s over there.”

The camera followed her fingertip towards Wen Ling, then quickly shifted away, as if it really was sneaking a peek.

Then they were left in place, watching the white-haired girl tiptoe behind Wen Ling.

Then…

She rose on tiptoes and wrapped her arms around Wen Ling’s neck from behind.

“Ling Ling~”

“Good morning~”

In the sunlight, the radiant idol girl turned around in surprise.

In that moment, her expression shifted from confusion, to shock, to secret delight, and finally to forced calm.

With just a single shot, the beautiful emotions between the girls were painted vividly.
