185 Going Back On Her Words
“Nothing is certain. You’re being mysterious.” Yu Han tidied up her messy hair that Ji Jun had messed up and tied it into a bun.
Old Bai hadn’t even said anything about her being addicted to playing games on set. He couldn’t possibly snitch on her to Ji Jun, the investor, behind her back, right?
Old Bai seemed to respect her on the surface, but he always tried to trick her. If he had anything against her, he would have said it publicly long ago. He wouldn’t have given her face.
Hence, Yu Han couldn’t figure out why Ji Jun suddenly made this trip. “Forget it, we don’t understand what the Best Actor is thinking either.” Hence, Yu Han couldn’t be bothered to guess. She sniffed twice. “This fish is really fragrant. I’m hungry. Is the meal ready?”
Lang Yu immediately threw Ji Jun to the back of his mind. “There are still two quick dishes left. I’ll stir-fry them now. They’ll be ready in 10 minutes.”
On the other side, Ji Jun returned to his rented courtyard. When he stepped into the living room, he saw Lin Zi holding a large lunch box and watching a short video while enjoying his meal. He stopped in his tracks. “Has the Kangaroo Platform decided on the candidates for the eSports variety show yet?”
Lin Zi was shocked by his sudden voice. “Why didn’t you make a sound when you were walking?”
Ji Jun walked to the sofa opposite him and sat down. “You were clearly the one who was too engrossed in the short video.” His gaze landed on Lin Zi’s lunch box. When he saw the rice, vegetables, and soup mixed together, he looked away in disdain.
Lin Zi, who was indeed watching the short videos earlier, coughed twice and decided not to argue with him. He changed the topic and said, “What program did you say just now?”
Ji Jun had no choice but to repeat himself.
“Didn’t you reject this show?” Lin Zi was puzzled. If Ji Jun was so popular, any news related to him would be popular. Naturally, many variety show invitations were sent over.
However, Ji Jun himself did not really like variety shows. For example, the company wanted him to bring Li Wei on a variety show and he had rejected it at the beginning. Even though he did not know why Ji Jun suddenly changed his mind afterwards.
Kangaroo Platform was rich and overbearing in this eSports variety show, so they offered a very high price from the start. The company was tempted, so they handed the invitation to Lin Zi. However, Ji Jun rejected it as soon as he opened his mouth.
Lin Zi thought that Ji Jun had completely forgotten about this invitation. Yet, he suddenly mentioned it again. This matter was a little strange.
Faced with Lin Zi’s suspicious gaze, Ji Jun calmly crossed his legs and took out his phone. “I previously said that I would take a break after filming Director Shen’s movie. I’ve changed my mind now.”
Indeed, if Ji Jun didn’t want to rest, there would be about two months of free time. Lin Zi thought for a moment. “Then you don’t have to take on this variety show. Didn’t Director Gu Ming ask you to specially act in his movie previously? Aren’t you going to consider it?”
As far as Lin Zi was concerned, he was actually not too optimistic about this eSports variety show. Of course, this optimistic view was not targeted at the show itself, but from Ji Jun’s perspective.
With Ji Jun’s status and popularity, he no longer needed to depend on a show. He had entered the stage when the show depended on him. Hence, no matter what variety show he went on, it actually didn’t add much value to Ji Jun. On the contrary, he had to worry that something bad would happen on the show and negatively affect him.
In Lin Zi’s eyes, this eSports variety show was a minefield. First of all, this was an eSports variety show. There was a fundamental difference between fans in the gaming circle and fans of artists.
The fans of the artist were very tolerant. Some of them had even reached the point of blindly following the artist. Hence, no matter what the artist did, they could find an excuse to convince themselves and then absolve the artist.
However, the fans in the gaming circle were different. They were much more unyielding than the fans of artists. They upheld the principle of “the one paying is the boss”. Be it the games’ organizers or the players, they would directly curse whoever made them unhappy.
At the same time, they had another characteristic. Many fans in the gaming circle actually did not think highly of celebrities in the entertainment industry, especially celebrities with high popularity. Therefore, once they were associated with the game and did not play well, they would definitely be mocked on a large scale.
So Lin Zi didn’t insist when he heard Ji Jun’s rejection.
However, the decision that Ji Jun had already made was not something that a manager like him, who did not have much authority, could easily change.
