Chapter 138 Thailand Section 66: The Great Conman of Commerce
Shang Xu spoke with unwavering conviction, his brows radiating an air of absolute authority.
If I didn't understand his personality...
Xia Yu almost believed that Shang Xu had a script.
Shang Xu quickly slipped the communication headset from Leopard Brother's ear as soon as he put his hand on Leopard Brother's shoulder.
Leopard blinked his big eyes, revealing the villainous character he was originally portrayed as.
Without Director Ma's guidance, he seemed a bit dazed and confused.
He was skeptical of Shang Xu's words.
"No, bro, my script has nothing to do with you. Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
Leopard leaned closer and whispered something in his ear.
"That's right, didn't you miss a page?"
The sound of the Shang order approached, but was faint.
Speak confidently and ask quick questions.
Everyone was curious about what the two of them were talking about.
(Comments: (*?︶?*). Why are you two standing so close? I suggest you say it out loud, otherwise I might start spreading rumors!)
This is how the audience sees them:
(* ￣3)(e￣ *).
(Comments: (?-_?)?? The con artist is at it again, at it again. Luckily, this "Brother Leopard" is a new actor, and seems rather naive and easy to fool.)
(Comment: Lao Shang is more than just a liar; why didn't he mention his petty theft earlier? Hahaha, no, Lao Shang was just temporarily keeping Leopard's headset safe. That headset was too heavy; he's so thoughtful. No wonder he's Sister Yu's man.)
Xia Yu rushed forward.
The fist's distance between the two was filled by the girl's gossipy expression.
Xia Yu: ( ,,?w?,,) Eating melon seeds.
"Huh? I didn't miss it!"
Leopard scratched his head, looking puzzled.
He thought to himself: I'm doomed. It's my first day at work, and I'm going to lose my job.
Director Ma, watching from the monitor, almost spat out his iced Americano.
He picked up the walkie-talkie and called out, "Ziting, Ziting, and the other two actors, quickly pull that silly Leopard Brother back! Don't listen to that old fox's nonsense!"
The trio who received Director Ma's voice were also watching the show.
Chen Ziting, who plays the wife, remained motionless: "I didn't hear you, I didn't hear you, I'm not going, I'm watching the show."
The expectant mother-in-law's eyes darted around: "The old lady's legs and feet are not good, her health is not good, she's not good at moving around."
The bodyguard looked at the two of them: "If those two seniors aren't going, I won't go either."
"You missed it, didn't you? I also saw your storyline. Your character is a major villain, cruel and ruthless."
Leopard nodded, looking surprised that his prediction had come true.
Xia Yu chuckled to herself.
You could figure out all of this just by looking at your toes, right?
"Moreover, the lady and the bodyguard had an affair, which is why she sent Hua Hua to the kitchen, to prevent you from recognizing each other."
Further evidence is needed to support the inferences made by the quotient sequence.
"Then who are you?"
he asks.
"I am your older brother, and you are my younger brother."
Shang Xu patted him on the shoulder, his eyes firm.
Is it true or false?
Leopard still didn't believe it, but he started to regain his senses.
"Don't you understand? Director Ma loves to prank the guests. You've seen the previous episodes of the dating show, right? Now he's going to start messing with you guys. Otherwise, how can he give you screen time to promote the newcomers?"
Shang Xu is talking nonsense in a serious manner.
Just then, Xia Yu's voice rang in his ear.
"It's genuine, Shang Xu never lies."
Shang Xu cast a smiling glance at Xia Yu.
(Xia Yu: I hope I won't get struck by lightning for saying this??)
Leopard Brother stared at Xia Yu's face, now even closer than before.
His heart was racing, and his earlobes were slightly red.
"I believe in Teacher Hua Hua..."
He spoke with a hint of shyness.
"Trust me, I guarantee you won't go wrong, I guarantee you'll make a fortune."
Xia Yu boasted shamelessly.
"Uh-huh."
He gave Xia Yu a big smile.
Upon closer inspection, Shang Xu realized something was amiss.
He quickly pushed Brother Leopard away from him.
It pushed so far.
"what?"
Leopard was completely bewildered after being pushed.
Leopard: Aren't we good brothers?
"Little brother, it's been a long time. We've gotten a bit estranged. Call me 'big brother' and let me hear it."
Shang Xu had a cool and aloof expression, speaking as if it were the truth.
Leopard was a little hesitant to speak, so he tentatively shouted:
"Big brother?"
"Hey, little brother!"
Shang Xu shamelessly agreed.
In less than five minutes, he had switched the roles of the person in the video.
(Comments: Wow, Lao Shang, I'll follow you from now on. Following you means a bright future. Following Sister Yu means buying a Land Rover. Following Xu Da Wan means ending up in a water dungeon. Following Shen Youyou means walking Fu's dog. Following Li Da Tou means only learning Iron Head Kung Fu. More comments below.)
(Comment: Following up on the previous comment, hanging out with Fu Strong will only make you a clown, hanging out with Director Ma will only make you wear slippers, hanging out with Director Luo will only make you blind and unable to distinguish between men and women, and hanging out with Shen Yujing will only make you a laughing stock every day.)
(Shen Yu: What the hell? What's wrong with hanging out with me? I know nunchucks, hehe, my tummy is thundering, thunder, thunder, my tummy is thundering, there's a game that makes you younger the more you play it, it's the mobile game Peace Elite, nobody calls you little brother here, they all call you elementary school student~)
(Comments: What I said came true.)
(Su Yuxian: To clarify, our group does not know Shen Yujing.)
...
Director Ma stared wide-eyed at the monitor, wishing he could fly his slippers into the screen and slap Shang Xu's face.
"No way, how can this young man be so stupid? He believes everything people say. Shouldn't he be the one who's most likely to be a pig in the field?!"
Director Ma was furious.
The person who was chosen at first glance to play the villain Leopard Brother has now been fooled into becoming a complete idiot with just a few words.
[Announcement: Duan Xiaotang is currently in a water prison after failing to rescue Xu Jianian. Her health is currently 50, decreasing by 1% every minute.]
"I go?"
"How did Sister Xiaotang get inside?"
Xia Yu was surprised: Σ(????)??
Xu Jianian is truly beyond saving.
"I knew this would happen."
Shang Xu sighed, "This is exactly what I expected."
...
...
Inside the water dungeon.
Duan Xiaotang sat there with a gloomy expression.
She hasn't realized the seriousness of the problem until she actually comes in and experiences it firsthand.
Xu Jianian: Hmm (°ー°〃)?
Xu Jianian only woke up when she heard the extremely loud broadcast.
The first thing he saw when he woke up was a woman sitting next to him with a resentful look on her face.
He instantly woke up in fright: "Ahhhhhh! A ghost!"
"What the hell?!"
Duan Xiaotang punched him on the forehead.
"Why did you hit me... Sister Xiaotang..."
Xu Jianian looked aggrieved.
"No, sis, how did you get in?"
he asks.
"Didn't you hear the broadcast? I failed to save you, and now I'm the one who got dragged down with me."
Duan Xiaotang sighed deeply.
The water prison was narrow and dimly lit.
Especially that low-profile fence gate.
"I don't even want to talk anymore..."
"No, sis, let me talk to you and have a chat."
Xu Jianian never expected that someone would come to rescue him.
I was truly touched.
"I came here solely for Mu Qing, Mu Qing, Mu Qing!"
Duan Xiaotang whispered in his ear.
"You know??"
"What challenge did you just take? Why didn't you need me at all?"
Xu Jianian was curious.
"Don't ask, it's all tears if you talk about it too much."
Duan Xiaotang interrupted the conversation by hugging her knees.
(Fresh Mango: ?(??w＼?)? Why do I keep procrastinating and being lazy every day? I'm thinking of ending this with the Thailand episode, but I'm also reluctant to give up.)
