    Chapter 51 Chapter 51 “This is… your friend…

    “This is…your friend?”

    Lin Xi looked at Jian Xingzhi in a daze. Isn’t this Chengtai’s boss? Before Pang Yalong came, he didn’t tell her that the friend Shi Xingze was looking for was Jian Xingzhi!

    Jian Xingzhi nodded to Lin Xi: “Hello, I am Shi Xingze’s friend Jian Xingzhi, and I will participate in the show with him this time.”

    Lin Xi laughed awkwardly and whispered to Shi Xingze: “Our program guests have tasks to do. Is it really okay if you invite Mr. Jian to come?”

    With Jian Xingzhi’s identity, how could Lin Xi dare to cheat on his tasks like other variety show directors, who had to think twice before even asking him to do tasks.What if she is too embarrassed by Jian Xingzhi and this variety show becomes the last variety show she directs?

    Lin Xi shuddered. If she had known that Shi Xingze could invite someone with Jian Xingzhi’s status, she wouldn’t have thought about it.

    Shi Xingze smiled and nodded: “Well, I told him about the tasks to be done in the show, and he was fine.”

    Jian Xingzhi also knew what Lin Xi was worried about, and nodded and said to Lin Xi, “Just do what you usually do, Director Lin, and don’t take special care of me.This was originally my personal itinerary, it would be great if I could help Xingze.”

    Previously, Jian Xingzhi heard from Shi Xingze that in variety shows, guests may be assigned tasks in exchange for survival funds, so Jian Xingzhi dressed more everyday this time. Even his hair, which is usually combed up to look more mature, looked looser and looked very different from usual.

    When Shi Xingze first met Jian Xing today, he looked at him curiously for a long time, which made Jian Xingzhi a little nervous. Could he have recognized that he was the male fan sitting in the first row?

    In the end, Shi Xingze just smiled and said that he had never seen him dressed like this before, and it looked and felt very different. After hearing this, Jian Xingzhi quietly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he didn’t recognize him.

    But Lin Xi was still a little worried and asked Jian Xingzhi politely: “Mr. Jian, what about your identity?Our variety show has an opening segment where we need to show the audience a little bit about the occupations of the guests. Is it convenient for you?”

    “How do you need me to cooperate?”Jian Xingzhi himself doesn’t care, it’s his company anyway. And his own face can basically be recognized by anyone who is interested in reading business news.

    Lin Xi thought for a while and said, “Is it okay to take a video of you doing your work in the office?Of course, we only take pictures of the building logo and the view of your office, forget it if there are business secrets involved.”

    He usually organizes Jian Xingzhi’s office and puts away all the important documents and contents. If it’s just some daily matters, it doesn’t matter: “No problem.”

    Seeing Jian Xingzhi nodding, Lin Xi secretly breathed a sigh of relief: “Okay, let’s reshoot this part when we go back. The venue fee here in the ancient town is not cheap, so we will record the program here first.You and Shi Xingze take a break first. After the other guests arrive, we can shoot the lottery part first.”

    The filming session of “Dear Friend” started with the accommodation lottery, and the lottery decided where the guest duo would live.The rooms prepared by the program team are basically similar in terms of accommodation conditions, but there are differences in room size and location. If you live too far away, you will have to go to the filming location early the next day to gather.

    Jian Xingzhi and Shi Xingze each brought a suitcase. They pushed the suitcases into the lounge arranged by the program team, where several guests were already waiting.

    There are three groups of fixed guests in the program. The group of Shi Xingze and Jian Xingzhi are the flying guests, which will occasionally be dynamically adjusted according to the situation.

    Four people were already sitting in the lounge, including Ran Xiangling, who brought his best friend to the show, and Statement, who brought his actor friend here to relax. As soon as Jian Xingzhi and Shi Xingze came in, the laughter of the four people stopped and they looked at the people next to Shi Xingze in surprise.

    Lin Xi had a relationship with them before, so they all knew that Shi Xingze would come as a flying guest to participate in two episodes, so they were not too surprised when they saw Shi Xingze.

    But who can tell them who the person next to Shi Xingze is!

    The statement is a singer. He is older than the others on the show. He occasionally reads the news and does some investment side business in his spare time.As the boss of Chengtai, he was very familiar with Jian Xingzhi’s face. How could Shi Xingze hire him?

    The statement was in awe, and couldn’t help but guess about Shi Xingze’s background. What kind of background would he have to convince the head of a large group to come to an ancient town to participate in a variety show without making any money.

    Ran Xiangling’s best friend was her former classmate, and she didn’t usually read news in this area. When she saw Jian Xingzhi’s appearance and figure, her eyes lit up. She took Ran Xiangling’s hand and asked her in a low voice: “Lingling, who is that tall handsome guy? Why do you all look so serious?”

    Ran Xiangling was also in a daze. She was just participating in a variety show, and she didn’t expect to have the chance to meet someone like Jian Xingzhi.Ran Xiangling also lowered her voice and whispered to her best friend: “Does Chengtai know?”

    “You know, my house is still a real estate developed by them.”As soon as her best friend finished speaking, Ran Xiangling patted her shoulder: “That’s right, that person is Chengtai’s biggest boss, Jian Xingzhi.”

    “ah?!”

    When Shi Xingze saw the eyes of several others looking at Jian Xingzhi, he knew that someone probably recognized him, so he did not hide it and introduced himself to others openly: “Hello everyone, I am Shi Xingze, and this is my friend Jian Xingzhi. I will be participating as a guest on the flight next.”

    Jian Xingzhi took the suitcase from Shi Xingze and placed the two boxes by the door so that he could take them with him when he left later.

    After Shi Xingze finished the introduction, he nodded slightly to a few people: “This is the first time we meet, I am Jian Xingzhi.”

    Statement first stood up with a smile and greeted them: “I am Statement, and this is my friend Hao Yong’an, an actor.”Hao Yongan’s age and statement are about forty years old, and his personality is relatively kind.

    Ran Xiangling also brought her best friend Xia Jie over to say hello with a smile: “Welcome to our show!You have participated in the Starlight Training Camp before, right? Xia Xia and I have watched it!”

    But when Ran Xiangling and Shi Xingze said this, their eyes couldn’t help but glance at Jian Xingzhi.

    Without him, Jian Xingzhi’s figure and appearance were impeccable, and his family was so rich. It was difficult for Ran Xiangling to control himself from focusing on Jian Xingzhi, and subconsciously his tone of voice became a little gentler.

    “Lingling?Xia Jie glanced at Ran Xiangling with some doubts. Ran Xiangling took her arm and shook it and said, “Have you forgotten?”It’s the variety show directed by Director Qi.”

    Xia Xia nodded hesitantly, but didn’t say much.It’s true that she and Ran Xiangling watched the Starlight Training Camp together, but Ran Xiangling only went to see the first few people and didn’t even remember who Shi Xingze was.

    She guessed that Ran Xiangling said this just to look good to everyone, so she didn’t mention it.

    The statement asked Shi Xingze and Jian Xingzhi to sit down, and said to them: “We have another group of regular guests, Guo Yiqing and her friends. I heard that there was some delay on the road today.”

    Shi Xingze sat down and chatted with a few people. He felt that the atmosphere of this program was very good and the guests were very friendly. Xia Xia also handed them a bunch of snacks and said secretly: “This program will confiscate the suitcases. You’d better hide all the necessities first. We suffered a loss before.Even though Lin Xi is easy to talk to, he is really bad when filming the show.”

    Lin Xi walked in at this moment, looked at Jian Xingzhi and coughed lightly: “Am I such a person?This time, due to the special status of the guests, three items can be kept.”

    The guests protested a few words, but they all understood in their hearts that Jian Xingzhi was the boss of the company after all, and if he didn’t leave anything for him, he would probably delay the business.

    A few people were sitting in the room. Lin Xi frowned and glanced at his watch. He was about to call the last group of guests when the door opened and Guo Yiqing rushed back with her friends, “Director Lin, we are here.I’m really sorry. The flight was supposed to take off very early, but there was heavy fog in the area and it was delayed.”

    Guo Yiqing is a well-known comedian in the industry. Her friend is Yao Xueling who works in the same company as her. She is clasping her hands to apologize to Lin Xi: “We are a bit unlucky. The driver who picked us up took the wrong route, so we arrived so late.”

    “It’s okay, just get there.”Now that they have arrived, Lin Xi didn’t say much. After introducing the identities of Shi Xingze and Jian Xingzhi to them, he asked Jian Xingzhi to choose three items in front of everyone, and then took away their suitcases without mercy.

    Guo Yiqing rubbed her sore waist, and Ran Xiangling laughed and teased her: “Why are you so unlucky? Are you confident about the draw later?””

    Yao Xueling answered with a smile: “Sister Qing’s bad luck, isn’t it me?Maybe Ran Ran won’t have a big house to live in this time!”

    Ran Xiang Lingpi looked at the other party with a dead smile and said: “Oh, sister Yiqing is only one year older than you, and you always call people old like this.It’s hard to say today. There are new flying guests this time. Maybe a new European Emperor will appear.”

    Shi Xingze smelled the smell of gunpowder between the two people, and chose not to speak and watched silently. He quietly discussed with Jian Xingzhi about the drawing of lots: “Okay, will you do the drawing or shall I?””

    He said with some distress: “How about you go?Your company is running so well, you must be very lucky, maybe we can live in the biggest room!”

    Shi Xingze looked at Jian Xingzhi expectantly, but Jian Xingzhi was excited and refused righteously: “You are the protagonist between us, so you better go ahead and smoke. I can accept it no matter what room you are in.””

    Just kidding, with his star-chasing luck, what if he goes to the smallest room?It didn’t matter to him, but he didn’t want Shi Xingze to have a bad life because of his own reasons.

    Shi Xingze didn’t expect Jian Xingzhi to say such sexy words in a serious manner. He blushed and hesitated and said hello, and went to draw lots with hands and feet. Others thought he was nervous.

    “Eh?!”

    Shi Xingze looked at the first-class apartment in his hand and happily ran back holding the note to show it to Jian Xingzhi: “Jian Xingzhi, we have a big house to live in. It must be your good luck!”

    Jian Xingzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and took the note with a smile: “It’s all thanks to you.”
