Su Yang didn't know what Charlie was thinking, but he guessed that Charlie was different from George and the others, so he moved closer to Charlie.
"Hi Charlie, why don't you look very happy?" Su Yang asked Charlie.
Charlie looked at Su Yang and shrugged indifferently, saying, "What is there to be happy about?"
His expression was faint, looking like a smile but not quite.
Charlie glanced at the group of people who had already gathered, "You need to be more careful from now on. They might already be discussing how to deal with you."
Upon hearing this, Su Yang glanced at the four people next to them. They were laughing and talking loudly, completely disregarding the fact that they were still recording, and some of the things they said were unpleasant to hear.
Su Yang mimicked Charlie's shrug, "It doesn't matter. I'm afraid those who come later won't be any better for me."
Charlie was somewhat surprised to see Su Yang so calm.
"Aren't you scared? They are very good fighters."
Su Yang smiled and pointed to the cameras around them, "Are they going to beat me in front of the cameras? This is a global broadcast."
Charlie looked around. They were basically surrounded by cameras.
"It's still not certain... Listen to what they're saying, do you think they care about the cameras?"
Su Yang shrugged again, "If they really want to deal with me in front of the cameras, then I'll just accept it."
"Aren't you scared?" Charlie asked Su Yang.
"What's there to be scared of?" Su Yang said, gesturing to the muscles on his arm and smiling, "I'm not a real weakling."
Su Yang's action made Charlie laugh, "You're so interesting, my friend. Don't worry, I'm different from them. I'm from Bagu, and our country is similar to yours in nature, so our thinking should be similar. Let's be friends."
When Charlie introduced himself earlier, he only briefly mentioned his name and not his country. It was only when he introduced himself to Su Yang and mentioned his country that Su Yang understood. No wonder.
Su Yang looked at Charlie and extended his hand, saying, "Hello, my friend."
Charlie and Su Yang smiled at each other, then they looked at the new guests.
It was a girl, who looked young. Su Yang felt she was no older than eighteen. He didn't know which country she was from, but she clearly had foreign features.
Su Yang looked at the guest in front of him and asked Charlie, "Can you tell which country she's from?"
Charlie shook his head, "I can't tell, but she has a bit of an Italian feel."
"Hello everyone, my name is Mentos, and I'm from Italy. Please take care of me."
The first part was for each guest to arrive and introduce themselves. Only after all the guests had arrived would they move on to the next segment.
There was no host during the guests' arrival, but Su Yang saw Hans standing with the director, constantly watching.
When Su Yang arrived, Hans smiled at him, but Su Yang ignored him, pretending not to see his greeting.
As for Hans, Su Yang had decided not to acknowledge him unless Hans specifically called out his name. After all, Hans, that scoundrel, had made Su Yang very dissatisfied before and now.
Only after all the guests had arrived would Hans come out to host.
Su Yang looked at the guests and had already sized them up. Judging by their appearance and demeanor, and their attitudes towards Su Yang, he had seen it all. Most of them didn't have a good impression of Su Yang. Just seeing Su Yang's skin color, sometimes a girl's eyes would light up at Su Yang's appearance. After all, opposites attract, and Su Yang was quite attractive to the opposite sex. Out of the ten female guests, Su Yang was sure that six of them had a favorable impression of him. These six had shown him signs of affection. The other four had looked at him more, but hadn't shown any particular reaction.
For every female guest interested in Su Yang, there was a male guest who harbored hatred towards him. However, Su Yang didn't care about the opinions of the same sex. Coming to this dating show, the attitude of the female guests was paramount, and Su Yang didn't care much about the rest.
"Hi everyone, all twenty guests for our 'You and I' show have arrived. Please take your seats."
After all the guests had arrived, Hans came out from the director's side with a microphone. He walked with a smile towards the space between the two platforms and stood in the middle.
Several male guests were standing together, talking and laughing, sometimes looking at the female guests on the opposite side, and sometimes glancing at Su Yang. Su Yang didn't even need to use his "insight" to know that they were definitely not saying anything good about him. However, Su Yang disdained using his "insight" to see what they were thinking.
After Hans finished speaking, the gathered male guests slowly returned to their seats. In fact, they could sit anywhere they pleased. Su Yang sat with Charlie.
Another guest arrived next to them, looking at Su Yang with a very unfriendly gaze. Su Yang ignored him, as this was not the first person to look at him like that. Su Yang had become somewhat numb to the unfriendliness of these people, and there was nothing he could do about it.
"Okay, everyone is seated."
Hans surveyed the platforms on both sides, then turned to the camera facing him and said, "Hello everyone, and welcome to the world's first large-scale reality dating show, 'You and I.' Now, our twenty guests from all over the world have arrived."
As he spoke, Hans looked at the people on both platforms and said, "Alright, now our guests will greet the audience."
Su Yang felt a little speechless. But he still had to smile and cheer with the others. The content of their cheers was something like "Hello everyone." Su Yang, finding the act a bit ridiculous, simply waved at the camera and said "Hello everyone."
Beside Su Yang, Charlie made no move. Just like when Su Yang first arrived, Charlie's expression was faint, and he was the same towards the camera. He said nothing, just sat there. His gaze wasn't on the camera, but rather on a certain point, as if he were spacing out.
Since the show was being broadcast live and would also be released as edited videos later, the bullet comments were already appearing on the software. And there were a lot of them. After all, the guests were essentially celebrities from all over the world. Although Su Yang wasn't strictly a celebrity, his popularity was very high, albeit mainly within China.
The bullet comments were divided into several channels: a global channel and individual country channels. As soon as Su Yang appeared, the bullet comments from China were completely overwhelmed.
[Oh my husband! He's gotten even more handsome since I last saw him!]
[Su Yang really has a certain aura, so noble, I'm dying.]
[Did anyone notice the looks on those foreigners' faces? They look like they want to eat Su Yang...]
[Speaking of which, has anyone seen the video the Cultural Bureau's official account just posted of Su Yang going to the US? That host is too disgusting...]
Because the video was too long and needed editing, it was uploaded to the website by the Cultural Bureau only when the live broadcast started, which is why people were only seeing it now.
[I saw it. That host is so shameless. I'm so worried Su Yang will be bullied there.]
[Have you forgotten the fate of Banana Media, which framed Su Yang?]
[A lawyer friend of mine said there are still many companies suing Banana Media, and the lawsuits might take several years to resolve, with hundreds of millions involved.]
[Everyone should have a little more confidence in Su Yang. Although he looks very refined, judging by the fate of Banana Media, Su Yang is no ordinary person. Even if this Hans is disgusting, I feel Su Yang is fully capable of handling him.]
[Agreed. Moreover, Su Yang's conversation with Hans was very dignified and he didn't fall behind at all.]
