While that was said, Shen Mama immediately rejected it, "If you want to be a wild person, go be one yourself, but leave my grandson here."
Shen Yao: ...
The plan didn't succeed, so Shen Yao could only stay home alone, not going anywhere.
When Shen Huaijin returned and heard that Shen Yao was already home, he could only describe himself as shocked. As expected, being able to fly made one willful. Kuai Shuge.
Fortunately, this situation did not last long. As long as the person she saw was not too much of an eyesore, Shen Yao could now endure it without vomiting.
This made her seriously suspect that the child in her belly was born a "face-con"!
Since learning that Shen Yao was pregnant, she gradually posted fewer videos. She only updated occasionally, but whenever she posted a video, it would still make it onto the trending lists.
While Shen Yao was at home doing prenatal education, she suddenly received a video call from Wang Xixi, who had been missing for a long time.
"Yaoyao, I need your help urgently!!!!" Wang Xixi's tragic and desolate voice came from the phone.
Shen Yao was startled by the sudden voice and then silently moved the phone a little further away, "What's wrong?"
Wang Xixi then lowered her voice a bit and looked at Shen Yao miserably, "I've made it to the finals, but the show requires each of our members to invite a friend to support us. They call it wanting to see our interaction with friends, but it's more like showing off!"
Then Wang Xixi explained the general situation.
It turned out that this was the finals of Wang Xixi's talent show. It was a 15-to-9 competition, with nine debut spots. Her current ranking was stuck at ninth place.
With her ranking, she could be replaced at any time, especially by those ranked behind her, several of whom were children from wealthy families.
It was rumored that some had secretly bribed the production team, just to secure a debut spot.
Therefore, the production team came up with this idea, allowing them to participate in the show with their friends, but the format was different. Instead of inviting friends to the show, they would go to their friends' homes.
And the production team would follow them for the entire live broadcast!
The top nine would be decided based on the ranking of the live broadcast room on that day.
"You can do it like this? Won't people be upset?!" Shen Yao was also stunned by the production team's operation.
She had never heard of such a ridiculous finals format.
"What are they afraid of? You don't know, just because of their decision, the show has become incredibly popular. Now, eight out of ten trending topics are about the talent show."
Wang Xixi was impressed by the production team's decision. Those who made it to the finals were definitely very strong.
However, many people knew that there were quite a few wealthy people among the top 15, so they all commented on the official Weibo, saying that it was a good opportunity to see what the mansions of the rich looked like.
Whether they were really like they were portrayed on television, and thus the wealthy contestants gradually gained attention.
As for those from ordinary families, the situation was not so friendly, especially those from ordinary families who were not the strongest in terms of skill. This was undoubtedly an unfair competition.
"The production team is quite something," Shen Yao couldn't help but sigh. They had gained both popularity and money!
"I know that your current situation shouldn't be disturbed, but I really have no other choice. You three are my only close friends. Chaocao and Nannan are busy every day and have no time to accompany me, so I only have you," Wang Xixi looked at Shen Yao with hope.
She had already asked Xia Chao and Zhou Yanan before. Xia Chao was busy with Huan Yan matters and was completely occupied.
Zhou Yanan was even more outrageous; she was on a business trip to the black market and couldn't return.
In fact, if they had to choose whose home to go to, it would definitely be better than Shen Yao's home, as the environment was good, there was also a farmstead, and many places to play. However, Shen Yao was already more than five months pregnant, so how could she dare to trouble her!
If it wasn't for the fact that she truly had no other option, she wouldn't have opened her mouth.
"There's no problem on my end. If you want to come, you can. You haven't been here before, and do you want to stay? Should I prepare a room for you?"
Shen Yao didn't feel that this was troublesome at all. After all, she occasionally did live streams herself and didn't have particularly strong feelings about these things.
Instead, she thought it would be nice for Wang Xixi to come over; they hadn't seen each other in a long time.
"Really? Then I'll go discuss it with the production team. We should be there for three days, and there will be three cameramen following us. Just prepare a small room for them. I want to stay with you... No, what if they install cameras in the room? That would be inconvenient. Then, can you prepare a room for me too? I want a small suite, is that okay?"
Wang Xixi looked at Shen Yao. She had been longing for Shen Yao's farmstead's canopy bed!
"Okay, of course, it's possible. Since it's the fishing ban period now, I can also take you to go tide pooling!" Shen Yao said.
As soon as Wang Xixi heard about tide pooling, her eyes immediately lit up. As a northerner, she had never gone tide pooling before and had always wanted to go after seeing the tide pooling content in videos!
"Really? That's great! I'll go find the director right away and call you when we're leaving!" After saying that, Wang Xixi hung up the video call and rushed to find the director.
When the director heard that Wang Xixi was going to a small county in G Province, his brows furrowed tightly.
"Xixi, there's nothing interesting to film in that small place. Everyone is paying attention to the circles of the rich now. Why don't you learn from them and find someone to rent a mansion for a few days?"
The director was the chief director of this talent show. He thought highly of Wang Xixi. Although her age was a bit too old for a girl group, her conditions were undeniably excellent.
Because Wang Xixi had never revealed that her family was wealthy, the production team assumed she was just a child from an ordinary family.
After all, if she were truly wealthy, she wouldn't have these conditions without being famous. As long as she found some connections, debuting would definitely not be a problem.
"No need, it's not necessary. Moreover, I think following the trend too much isn't good. Do what you can within your means, do your best, and leave the rest to fate. What if some people really like watching rural life?" Wang Xixi smiled and refused the director's suggestion.
"Alright, then I'll have the staff book your flights later." The director was helpless. One of the reasons he liked Wang Xixi was precisely because of her groundedness!
"Director, let me say this first, will all expenses be reimbursed during the filming period?" Wang Xixi asked the director.
"Yes, yes, yes. As long as it's a reasonable expense, the production team will reimburse it without exception."
After getting the confirmation, Wang Xixi left happily. She was going to prepare some gifts for her godson and goddaughter!
