You said you'd just lie down and relax, how did you become a top influencer?

Chapter 9 Xu An Who Could Not Be Chosen

Seeing Bai Ge looking at them, Zhang Lin, the old fox, quickly said, "I'm getting on in years, my old arms and legs are so weak, what if I hurt my back while chopping wood?"

"We're in the middle of nowhere; going to the hospital would be such a waste of time!"

Hearing Zhang Lin's words, everyone present was speechless. Jiang Zhaoyue couldn't help but say, "Uncle Zhang, I remember you often post fitness videos on short video platforms, right?"

"Staged photos? They're all staged, marketing ploys, don't you understand?!" Zhang Linyi's righteous words amused the audience.

[Fine, fine, you're even willing to say that your short videos are staged just to avoid doing any work!]

[If Uncle Zhang didn't frequently livestream his workouts, I would have truly believed he was posing for a photo. /laughs]

This show is truly a breath of fresh air. On other shows, everyone's eager to do their work, but on this show, it's all about finding ways to slack off.

[Don't be so harsh on her, didn't Zhaoyue just rush to do the work?]

The live chat was filled with laughter, not to mention the people actually present. However, they couldn't do anything about Zhang Lin, this seasoned veteran. Zhang Lin also realized that what he had just said was a bit outrageous, so he quickly shifted the blame. He looked at Xu An and said earnestly:

"Xiao Xu, you're still young, it's the perfect time for you to train."

"Uncle Zhang, it's precisely because I'm young that I can't do strenuous exercise. What if I don't grow taller later?"

Upon hearing Xu An's words, Zhang Lin opened his mouth wide and his eyes widened.

Are you not growing taller? Are you still developing?

You're almost a head taller than me!

Seeing Zhang Lin's stunned expression, Xu An coughed twice: "Ahem, I'm still in school, I can grow up for another two years."

Upon hearing this, everyone else's attention was immediately drawn.

"Brother Xu, you're still in school? How come you have time to participate in the show?" Shen Wanwan's voice was filled with surprise.

She had always thought that she was the only one in college who was there; she hadn't expected there to be others.

She still felt comfortable being with Xu An.

Indeed, Shen Wanwan felt very comfortable with Xu An, unlike other boys who always made her feel awkward and unsure of what to say.

Now that she knows they are both in school, her sense of identification with Xu An has become even stronger.

"I'm a senior in college this year, and I was looking for a job when I saw the show's recruitment ad. I thought they were hiring staff, so I applied on a whim. Who knew they were recruiting guests!"

"I didn't want to come at first, but the production team said they would pay me and give me an internship certificate with a stamp, so I came."

Upon hearing Xu An's words, the others present were speechless.

So you're here on the show as an intern?

The viewers in the live chat were absolutely laughing.

[The college student said Xu An was right; he'd hesitate to come if they only offered money, but they had no choice but to come if they also stamped the document.]

[What an amazing internship! They pay you, give you a stamp of approval, and you even get to work with celebrities. Why can't I ever have one?]

First, you need to have this kind of face; second, okay, that's all!

[It's fake, it's all fake. Aren't internships supposed to be like mine, where you work in a factory? How could there be such an internship!]

[Hey upstairs, stop secretly watching the live stream and go fix your screws, or you'll get caught.]

Chen Zize's face showed a hint of disdain.

He originally thought Xu An had some kind of background to be able to appear on the show!

My relationship was just pure luck!

Thinking of this, a hint of arrogance appeared on Chen Zize's face, and he opened his mouth to say:

"I think Xu An, you should cherish this opportunity the director has given you and learn more from these senior artists on the show, like Uncle Zhang and Sister Bai Ge, who are both virtuous and talented!"

Upon hearing this, Xu An was somewhat puzzled.

"Brother Zize, didn't you forget to mention one person?"

"Oh? You mean?" Hearing Xu An's words, Chen Zize raised an eyebrow. Could it be that Xu An also understands social etiquette?

He waved his hand, unable to suppress the smile on his lips.

"Actually, I'm still a little short..."

"Wanwan should too!"

Chen Zize remained silent.

This kid doesn't know anything about social etiquette!

Seeing Chen Zize suddenly fall silent, Xu Ancai looked as if he had just realized what was happening.

"Oh, look, I forgot about you, Zizhe! Actually, I knew you were a pillar of the new generation of stars when I watched the show before!"

"Not only is he handsome, but he also dances very well, and he's humble and capable."

"He's practically my idol!"

"As for this kind of wood-chopping work, I don't even need to tell you, I know you'd be eager to do it."

"Hey, hey, I'm not that outstanding. What top star? It's not that exaggerated."

"Chopping wood? That's definitely my job!"

Xu An showered Chen Zize with compliments, making him feel like he was floating on air, so much so that Chen Zize couldn't even hear what Xu An was saying.

That's understandable.

He usually doesn't care about such boasting; he's heard it too many times.

However, since appearing on the show, he, the star of ST, has been ignored, like a background figure, completely ignored by everyone, and has been reduced to just another face in the street.

Even Xu An, an ordinary person, attracted far more attention than him.

And now, Xu An is actually praising him!

How could this not make him feel elated!

Of course, to others, this was just Xu An tricking Chen Zize into doing hard labor with just a few words.

Seeing this, Bai Ge, whose face was as smooth as porcelain, showed a hint of speechlessness.

If she had known Chen Zize was so easy to fool, she would have asked Zhang Lin what he was doing earlier!

Surprisingly, even the comments section started to sympathize with Chen Zize.

To be honest, I always thought Chen Zize was pretentious, but now I realize I was wrong. This is clearly Tang.

[Holy crap, how could Xu An be so wicked? He just fooled my brother Zize like that?]

[Zize, I promise I'll never badmouth you again. But wait, that's too difficult. I won't today!]

Of course, there are quite a few trolls among them, but there are also many genuine fans.

Sisters, let's go bombard Xu An's hashtag with comments! How dare he lie to Brother Ze!

But he's just an ordinary person; he doesn't have a Weibo account!

【…】

Chen Zize's female fans were speechless. They suddenly realized that Xu An seemed to be someone they couldn't choose.

He doesn't have a Weibo account, so they can't just flood the show's supertopic with comments!

Not to mention that their idol Chen Zize was also on the show, the fans of the other celebrities were just as powerful as, if not stronger than, their fans.

But you have to admire how creative Weibo fans are; they managed to push a trending topic to the top.

"Director, take a look at this." In the control room, the assistant director handed a phone to Chen Hong, his expression somewhat strange.

"What's wrong?" Chen Hong was a little confused when she saw him like this. She looked at her phone and her expression immediately became interesting.

How can something like this trend on social media?

If you didn't know better, you'd think their show featured a legal expert!

Xu An's name appeared prominently at number seven on Weibo's trending list.
