Chapter 486: 191 on behalf of Alian goes to Jiangjing University, broadcast (second update)_2

Upon hearing this, Ji Shaojun was even more surprised.

In his mind, he wondered, what kind of medal had Bai Lian actually received?

**

At the end of March, the thirty-first.

Sunday.

Bai Lian came back from the library very early and after asking Weng Qi about “Come Here Friend” airing on the channel, she sat down in front of the TV with a stack of papers by seven o’clock.

Since there was an extra television in the house, Ji Heng had made two new chairs with backs in the last couple of days, placing them opposite the tea table.

The TV screen wasn’t big, but Ji Heng’s living room was small, so the distance was just right.

Director Chen sat near the door, with Ji Heng beside him, Jiang He next to Ji Heng, and Bai Lian and Jiang Fulai beside Jiang He.

“What’s on TV today?” Director Chen didn’t know what was playing today. He sat beside Ji Heng, and the two of them shelled peanuts together, “Is ‘Great Yong’ airing yet?”

No, Director Chen remembered that “Great Yong” wasn’t set to air until May.

“Yan Lu’s variety show,” Bai Lian listened to the commercial jingle and leisurely flipped a page of her paper. A pen was wedged between her right hand’s pinky and ring fingers.

Yan Lu, ah.

Director Chen remembered this girl; he had dealt with her case before.

Bai Lian’s phone was on her lap, continuously vibrating with messages.

The Class 15 group chat.

Weng Qi: [@[email protected] Everyone pay attention! “Come Here Friend” is about to start!]

Weng Qi: [@[email protected] Everyone pay attention! “Come Here Friend” is about to start!]

Weng Qi: [@[email protected]…]

Bai Lian: [Who’s the admin, get him to manage this]

Within two seconds, Weng Qi had been removed as an admin.

Weng Qi: […]

Pu Xiaohan: [Hey, Beibei]

Bai Lian switched back to WeChat, where Ji Shaojun’s video call had come through, and she answered it, turning the camera towards Ji Heng’s side.

On this side of the phone.

Ji Shaojun greeted Ji Heng and Director Chen, and upon seeing Director Chen there so late, he asked, “Xiaochen, why are you all there?”

“Yan Lu’s TV show,” Director Chen leaned in to explain to Ji Shaojun, “They are all prepared to support Yan Lu.”

Ji Shaojun also remembered, “Right, I’m about to watch it, too.”

As he spoke, Ji Shaojun turned on the TV and asked Director Chen which channel it was on.

Shen Qing didn’t know how to operate the TV here, so she left it to Ji Shaojun. Just then, the doorbell rang. She went to answer it—it was the butler and Xiaojie.

“Butler,” Shen Qing always behaved very formally towards the butler.

She stepped back to let the butler in.

The butler walked a couple of steps inside just in time to hear Ji Shaojun calling out to Xiaochen.

“Who is he talking to on the phone?” He was a bit surprised. Ji Shaojun had very few friends besides a group of students and colleagues, and the name didn’t sound like Bai Lian or Ji Heng’s.

After closing the door, Shen Qing explained, “He’s on the phone with his family. Alian’s friend’s TV show is starting tonight. Xiaochen is at her grandfather’s house watching with Xiaojiang and Jiang He…”

As she spoke, Shen Qing started to feel homesick.

The butler felt a headache listening to the litany of names and raised his hand to stop her from continuing.

Ji Shaojun adjusted the TV and a smile appeared on his face, “Right, the show hasn’t started yet. Also, Alian, should I send you your medal?”

“No need,” Bai Lian’s voice, somewhat distorted, came through the radio, “I’ll come to pick it up during the summer vacation.”

The butler quietly sat down on the sofa and placed his walking stick to the side.

Shen Qing talked to the butler, “Alian’s medal, it’s very beautiful…”

The butler, lost in thought, gave a perfunctory “hmm” upon hearing this, clearly not paying attention to Shen Qing’s mention of Bai Lian’s medal.

After Ji Shaojun hung up the phone, the butler finally looked towards him, “Now that the initial assessment phase is over, Mr. Ji, are you ready to change your surname and transfer your household registration?”

Ji Shaojun was also quite silent; he had moved his household registration away when he got married to Shen Qing.

These things didn’t matter, but changing his surname…

Xiaojie stood next to the butler, “Mr. Ji, once you transfer your registration, you’ll have Jiangjing household registration, still within Chang’an District.”

Nowadays, so many people couldn’t get Jiangjing registration even if they wanted to.

“I know,” Ji Shaojun nodded, “I’ll discuss it with my father tomorrow and then transfer.”

The butler knew Ji Shaojun wouldn’t refuse these things. He talked with Ji Shaojun about some details and prepared for the gene verification.

Eight o’clock.

“Come Here Friend” started airing on the TV station on time.

After the opening credits, the show featured Yan Lu welcoming Teacher Mei Yi. They were fine on the variety show; it’s just that they didn’t talk much, lacking chemistry. The live commentary was blunt.

[These two are a bit dull, huh?]

[Surely the whole episode isn’t like this? They should bring on some industry insiders.]

[There’s another episode later. Aren’t there a few students in the promo video too?]

[…]

[What’s Yan Lu doing, like Teacher Mei Yi hasn’t eaten every kind of cake?]

[…]

“Alright,” the butler glanced at the television screen, where he saw a group of stars he didn’t recognize in a car, apparently heading for a trip to Xiangcheng. He withdrew his gaze, “You should call me when you’ve decided on a good time.”

He picked up his walking stick and turned to leave, with Xiaojie following him.

In the moment he left, the television displayed a group of people exiting a vehicle.

A middle-aged woman had an upright back, exuding authority, “Hello, I’m Sun Dan.”

[Who is this random person trying to get some screen time? She doesn’t even know Yan Lu.]

In Beicheng.

In Lou Yang’s studio, his agent breathed a sigh of relief. “As you can see, the result is truly mediocre.”

He turned to Lou Yang.

Lou Yang was reading a script with his head down and glanced at the computer screen without saying anything.

The agent chuckled and relaxed his back, his greatest fear was that this variety show would also blow up, but it seemed that there was little chance of that happening.

Until, looking back at the TV again, just a minute later, the direction of the live comments shifted.

[Wait, Sun Dan???]

[Oh my God, Qian Du came back. It’s really her!!!!!]

[!!!!!!!]

What’s the meaning of this?

The agent frowned, quickly took out his phone, opened Qian Du, and searched for Sun Dan. The first page that popped up was all about her.

The ID photo matched the person on the TV screen exactly.

The agent, reading the introduction below, was completely stunned.
