Chapter 347: Record the Show With Big Boss!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Qin Xiuchen was about to call Qin Hanqiu when he heard Qin Ling and suddenly froze. He turned around and asked, “What did you say?”

“My sister is downstairs.” Qin Ling looked up.

Putting down his phone, Qin Xiuchen stared at him blankly while sitting on the stool beside his bed.

The manager reacted. “Film Emperor Qin, I’ll go pick...”

“Is your sister fierce?” Qin Xiuchen thought of her cold and impatient face and fell silent once again.

Qin Ling thought for a while and shook his head. “She’s not fierce.” Then, he said without confidence, “But she’s more terrifying than being fierce.”

Qin Xiuchen was speechless.

Staring at his expression, Qin Ling suddenly understood and bowed his head guiltily. “Uncle, I’m sorry!”

“I’ll go pick her up.” Qin Xiuchen raised his hand to look at the time on the watch. It was almost 11 pm. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier? Did she come alone this late?”

He frowned.

The variety show this time was completely secretive, but the whereabouts of the crew were always exposed. Several tourists stayed not far away. Putting on a mask, Qin Xiuchen went out with the manager hurriedly following behind.

The director was still downstairs, drinking with a middle-aged man at the old hotel’s door. Upon seeing the manager hurry down with Qin Xiuchen, he quickly stood up and said, “Film Emperor Qin, is Xiao Ling in a bad condition?”

“No.” Qin Xiuchen pulled on his mask and hurriedly went out without telling the director much.

One step behind him, the manager explained, “Xiuchen’s relative is here. It’s alright.”

“Director, is there an empty room in the hotel? It’s best if the room is close to Xiuchen’s,” the manager averted his eyes and whispered.

“Yes, the room opposite the Film Emperor Qin’s is empty. I’ll have someone clean it immediately. I’ll hand you the keys later.” Most of the other artists were rookies, so the director had arranged them on a different floor to prevent Qin Xiuchen from getting affected.

While he went upstairs to call the staff, he wondered what kind of relative would make the Film Emperor Qin hurry down anxiously to receive him?

He glanced outside upstairs.

Film Emperor Qin coincidentally came in with a tall and thin figure. The person was wearing a black sweater with a hat buttoned on her head. She casually wore a coat of the same color and a black mask.

Upstairs, in Qin Xiuchen’s room.

He first brought Qin Ran in, then raised the temperature of the room, before handing her a cup of hot water. “Why did you come here alone?” he asked in a calm tone.

Pulling off her hat and mask, she threw them onto the table and took the cup of hot water. “I happen to know a friend here. It was on the way.”

Qin Xiuchen’s expression eased upon hearing this.

Someone knocked on the door and brought the keys to the room opposite.

Qin Xiuchen went to open the door.

Qin Ran turned directly to Qin Ling with cold and dark eyes.

She glanced around the room and saw a wooden chair not far away. Raising her foot, she kicked the chair to Qin Ling, then sat down at will, folded her arms, and apathetically said, “Explain.”

“I was just picking up Brother Gu’s stone...” Qin Ling didn’t dare to look up at her and deeply bowed his head.

“That broken stone? He can give you a hundred other stones next time.” Qin Ran sneered.

Qin Xiuchen and the others just considered themselves lucky, for the search and rescue team had managed to catch up and rescue Qin Ling before the collapse. However, they weren’t aware that the search and rescue team had been arranged by Cheng Juan. Otherwise, they would have taken a day to enter the mountain after receiving reports.

The cave would have collapsed long ago.

Only Qin Ran was aware of this danger.

Qin Ling’s head hung lower.

Qin Xiuchen came in with the keys and took the initiative to admit his mistake. “I didn’t take care of him.”

It was mainly because Qin Ling had been very obedient. The artists in the variety show this time were all adults, and Qin Ling was the only child. Since the crew had already pulled the cordon, Qin Xiuchen didn’t expect him to cross the line.

“Xiao Ling, quickly admit your mistake to your sister.” The manager followed Qin Xiuchen in. “Don’t do such dangerous things over a rock next time.”

Qin Ling cautiously looked up at Qin Ran. “... Sister, I sprained my leg. What about the show?”

“You have to finish it even if you sprained your leg.” Standing up, she stared lightly at him. “You brought it onto yourself.”

Qin Ling’s mouth hung open.

Standing aside, the manager thought: Qin Ling’s sister is ruthless, as expected.

“Go take a bath and then rest first. Here are the keys. The room has clothes. The simple rooms near the mountainous areas are humid, so remember to turn the air conditioner to a higher temperature when you sleep at night.” Qin Xiuchen handed the keys to her.

She originally wanted to say she already had a place to stay, but after hearing this, she thought about it and still took the key. “Thank you.”

**

She returned to her room.

Qin Xiuchen was still discussing the matter here.

This variety show included not only him but also several other artists. Everyone’s schedule had already been planned, and they had been delayed by one afternoon and night, so Qin Xiuchen couldn’t delay any longer tomorrow.

“How about the amateur I chose last time?” The manager flipped through the itinerary. “She has two recent programs and won’t act up. She’ll appear as your cousin and can arrive the day after tomorrow.”

Pouring the medicine and handing it to Qin Ling, Qin Xiuchen’s interest was lacking since he wouldn’t be participating in the following recording. He had no specific opinion about which amateur was chosen. “Anything.”

Speaking of this, the manager also felt strange. “How did your niece rush over from Beijing in just a few hours?”

Excluding the time required for security check, the plane took 4 hours to fly to City C and had to turn over several mountainous areas halfway through. It would probably take a full day’s flight?

Qin Ling put down the medicine and played online games with Qin Ran with his phone.

He controlled the characters to follow Qin Ran while typing.

[Sister, Sister, Sister...]

Her reply was cold and cool: [I’ll block you.]

Unafraid, Qin Ling continued typing—

[Do you want to record the show with Uncle? It’s really fun.]

——

[Shut up.]

After a long while, the manager finalized the schedule after discussing it with Qin Xiuchen. “Then, that’s it. I’ll go to the director.”

He turned around, about to head out.

Lying on the small bed, Qin Ling suddenly sat up, blinking. “Uncle, my sister said yes!”

Both of them were stunned. “What?”

“She...” Qin Ling seriously asked, “My sister wants to help me pay off the debt. Can she?”

He stared at Qin Xiuchen.

Qin Xiuchen was completely dumbfounded.

After a pause, his eyes lit up. “Yes, of course!”

Turning, he glanced at the manager. “Go and draft a contract with the director.”

While talking, he took out his phone, opened the browser, and slowly searched: [How to communicate and get along with my little niece?]

The two closed the door, and the manager glanced at him to see him slowly searching for entries online. His lips twitched. “Xiuchen, are you for real?”

“Yeah,” he absent-mindedly replied.

“Your niece isn’t suitable for this reality show.” The manager pondered hard about it.

“She’s from Beijing University. Didn’t you want her to become an entertainer last time?” Qin Xiuchen looked up.

The manager walked downstairs and said, “That’s different. If she was my artist, I would definitely package her since the beginning and let her slowly appear in front of the public, step by step. Her face would definitely be more popular than yours. But if she suddenly appears on the variety show with you, the most important thing...”

He glanced at him. “Unlike Xiao Ling who still relies a little on you, just look at how awkward you are with her. When the show is broadcast, the awkwardness would overflow the screen.”

He cringed and couldn’t bear to look straight at the thought of this.

Qin Xiuchen smirked and calmly said, “Go and draft the contract.”

The manager already guessed the result.

They went to the director’s room together, who had just finished taking a bath. He had expected him to change the guest star but didn’t expect him to confirm the guest so quickly.

There was nothing to change in the contract, so they looked over it and signed it.

Worried about leaving Qin Ling alone in the room, Qin Xiuchen went back.

The manager remained there.

Noticing his hesitance, the director took out two cans of beer and placed them on the table, then glanced at him hesitantly. “Is there a problem with the amateur that Film Emperor Qin invited this time?”

“She’s not an amateur, but the Film Emperor Qin’s niece. She’s not a problem; she’s good-looking and photogenic. But... I’ll have to trouble you to edit better, and don’t give her too many solo shots. She has a dull personality, a bad temper, and isn’t very personable, so it might not look nice on the broadcast. You don’t have to give her more shots. The main thing is not to cut her malicious shots just for the show’s effect.” The manager opened a can of beer and took a sip.
