56 Someone’s bringing capital into the group! (1 / 2)

This poisonous mushroom incident shot straight to the top of the day’s trending searches.

A romance variety show, previously only featured in the entertainment section, was suddenly reported by major official media, replaying Fang Zhou’s symptoms after the poisoning.

“Attention, citizens, these mushrooms with red caps and white stems are not edible, or you’ll at best hallucinate, at worst, it’s the end!”

The live stream interface froze on the morning of Fang Zhou’s poisoning, with fans leaving messages enquiring about Fang Zhou’s safety.

“Director Liu, what do we do, the live stream is about to explode.”

The assistant, looking at the messages from netizens, turned to ask the chief director of the production team.

From noble mtl dot come

The head director of the show was at his wit’s end, not knowing which netizen had leaked his contact information, as his work phone was about to explode with calls.

“Sigh, if it can’t be helped, let’s just stop the broadcast for now.”

Director Liu sighed deeply, his voice heavy with decision.

“What? Stop the broadcast? The sponsors will go through the roof.”

After all, the sponsors had funded the recording of the show, and a sudden halt in broadcasting meant the expected returns might fall short of the mark.

The assistant frowned, voicing his concerns with a worried tone.

Director Liu, looking at the live chat where netizens criticized their lack of attention to detail, felt a headache coming on.

How could he have known that the guests would go foraging and accidentally pick poisonous mushrooms!

“It’s an unavoidable measure, after all, the Ark people are still in the hospital. Announcing the end of the island segment so abruptly would be too insensitive.”

But truth be told, they couldn’t afford to offend the sponsors either.

Just as Director Liu was hesitating, a call came through on his personal number.

“Hello? Who is this?”

“Zhang Zhiyin? Which Zhang Zhiyin? What? She wants to join the show!”

“Hahahaha, welcome, welcome! Most welcome!”

“Alright, alright, I’ll arrange for someone to pick her up right now!”

After hanging up, Director Liu jumped up on the spot, bursting into a fit of ecstatic laughter.

“Heaven hasn’t forsaken me! Heaven hasn’t forsaken me!”

The young assistant standing next to Director Liu, not understanding the situation, asked cautiously, “What’s the matter, Director?”

Have you gone mad or have I?

Director Liu slapped the assistant on the shoulder, his eyes brimming with excitement.

“Hahahaha, Zhang Zhiyin is joining the show! She’s bringing her own resources!”

The assistant’s pupils dilated, his speech faltering.

“What? The young female author Zhang Zhiyin who just won the Xueguo Literary Award?”

“Yes, that’s her! She’s returned to the country and wants to join our program to seek inspiration for her next work!”

With Zhang Zhiyin’s participation, why fear the sponsors’ regret? She’s the hottest young female author both domestically and internationally!

Her books have a huge following among the youth, and without exaggeration, her influence is comparable to some top-tier celebrities.

Director Liu urged the assistant to switch the live broadcast camera to the workspace, deciding to personally explain the situation.

“So, are we still broadcasting?”

“Yes, of course, we’ll broadcast. We’ll pause for a day, wait for Zhang Zhiyin to arrive and get ready, then start again, hahahaha!”

Even an AK couldn’t suppress the grin on Director Liu’s face.

About half an hour later, Director Liu personally appeared on the live broadcast to explain the situation.

“Please rest assured, Ark is currently in good condition. After receiving an IV for two hours, he has regained consciousness and does not exhibit any other adverse symptoms. He’s staying at the hospital on the island for observation,”

“At the same time, the program will be paused for a day. When it resumes the day after tomorrow, we will welcome new guests, and the island segment will continue for a while.”

“On this day off, we will arrange for fans to visit the set. Those who are interested can leave a message under the official Weibo of the production team now, and a lottery will be arranged in two hours.”

With this move, the director finally salvaged the program’s precarious reputation. Fans rushed to leave messages, vying to visit the island.

After arranging the live broadcast, the director went to soothe the guests.

The silver lining in the misfortune was that only Ark was poisoned, truly an unlucky child.

“Ark has awakened, but due to the lingering toxins, his consciousness is a bit blurry. He needs to stay in the hospital for observation for two days. Tomorrow, we need two guests to take care of him.”

“Would anyone like to volunteer?”

The director’s arrangement was actually quite intentional.

On one hand, it created opportunities to foster relationships between the guests, and on the other, it allowed the production team to demonstrate their humanitarian care during the fans’ visit.

It was a win-win situation!

No sooner had he finished speaking than Chu Xinran and Han Xi spoke up.

“I’ll go.”

“Let me do it!”

The two women spoke almost simultaneously, their quick response astonishing everyone.

As a result, the male guests all turned to look at them, curious.

Taking care of a patient is a thankless task, and yet there were volunteers?

Moreover, the female guests, who at first glance seemed to be pampered, were they really capable of taking care of someone?

The expressions of the female guests varied as they shifted their attention to the matter.

Perhaps realizing her reaction was too abrupt, Chu Xinran spoke softly, “That day after I fell into the water, Ark didn’t hesitate to save me. A drop of water should be returned with a spring.”

Qiao Sisi looked at her with a half-smile, implying, “I fell into the water that day too, so by that logic, I should go as well.”

Darn it, I was just a bit too slow to react and got beaten to the punch.

Han Xi, with an impassive face showing no emotion, simply said, “Ark is in the hospital because of me; I should take responsibility for him.”

The aloof female CEO, like a flower on a high peak, even if she said something contrary to her heart, no one could tell, only silently sighing, “Han Xi is truly a responsible girl.”

“Ah, in that case, I’m a doctor, so I should be more suited to take care of a patient.”

Just as the director was pondering who to send, Qin Yun also spoke up with a smile.

The mature lady’s hair lay smoothly down her back, like seaweed, not only concealing her figure but also her inscrutable thoughts.

She looked around with a smile, and it seemed all the female guests were quite interested in this matter.

The director’s eyes widened slightly, a hint of distress showing. Who should be chosen?

A glance around, and it seemed Tang Wan was about to speak. The director quickly said, “Since that’s the case, let’s go with Han Xi and Chu Xinran. Thank you both for your hard work.”

“A car will take you there shortly. If Fang Zhou’s condition improves, he can be discharged the day after tomorrow.”

Han Xi and Chu Xinran exchanged a look, then quickly averted their eyes.

The director, cutting through the chaos decisively, settled on the first two who spoke. Then, under the resentful gazes of the other female guests, he swiftly left the scene.

He couldn’t bear it any longer; if he stayed, their icy stares would freeze him in place.

The male guests, on the other hand, looked towards the hospital with longing, green with envy.

Who would have thought being in the hospital came with such perks? Being cared for by two beauties, how delightful that must be!
