Hold on, the system and I have never been angry

At five o'clock in the morning, Lu Jinzhao was awakened by the alarm on his mobile phone.

He turned off the alarm, and a pop-up window popped up on his phone, which showed 99+ calls and WeChat messages from his agent Chen. He had muted his phone before going to bed, and didn't listen to or read any of it, but now that he saw it, he remembered this.

A quick glance at the content showed nothing but insults and threats.

The agent seemed to be afraid that he would not go to the variety show. Although the purpose was to have him serve as a background to set off Peng Yu and make up for Peng Yu at the critical moment, it should not have any impact if he did not go. Why did Chen Weihong persist? Was she really so worried that her own artist would fail?

What should I do then… You guys have definitely overturned this car. Lu Jinzhao thought maliciously and sent a message to Chen Weihong: "I will definitely be there on time."

Qiansui coiled his arms around Lu Jinzhao's neck and laughed secretly: "Brother Chao, are you going to attend? Oh, yes, you asked for leave last night! Hehe, do you want to go and teach Peng Yu a lesson?"

"I guess so."

After washing up, I put on my newly bought cotton clothes, took my mask and keys and went out. I bought several different kinds of buns from the bun shop on the street, accompanied by a cup of soy milk, and ate one in three or two bites.

The filming location of the variety show is in the downtown area, which takes an hour by subway, and eating is not allowed on the subway. In addition, during rush hour, people are crowded on the subway, and the buns are likely to be squashed when stuffed into the pockets of the cotton coat. Even if he is lucky enough that the stuffing inside does not leak out, he does not like to eat squashed buns.

While waiting for the bus, Lu Jinzhao searched for information about this variety show on Weibo and came across an interview. In the video, the director smiled and said that this program was an alternative reality show. In order to create hype, half of the guests were popular and half were amateurs. The first season will start filming soon.

Following the original owner's memory, Lu Jinzhao took the subway to his workplace. He boarded the last car, which was relatively not crowded. He found a corner, leaned against the wall and closed his eyes to catch up on his sleep. When he arrived at the station, the system in his mind would wake him up.

Everyone on the subway was wearing a mask, and at first glance, there were almost only handsome men and beautiful women. Lu Jinzhao was outstanding in height, with excellent proportions and long legs. He stood there like a model, and his beautiful eyes were as quiet as a deep pool, which attracted the bold young lady to raise her phone and start secretly taking pictures.

Lu Jinzhao let his eyes scan him and pretended not to know.

When he arrived, several male guests arrived before him. He wrapped himself in a cotton jacket and sat down in a corner, staying alone and quiet.

Soon, Chen Weihong and Peng Yu came on stage. The two got out of the nanny car, and Chen Weihong asked Peng Yu about her health, handed her milk and wrapped her coat. Rather than being an agent, she looked more like a parent sending a kindergartener to school.

Peng Yu had a headache after a hangover, his face was full of impatience, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Get away, useless thing. If that guy didn't come, wouldn't you send someone to kidnap him? That old guy Wu Qiming was so angry that I drank half a night and promised to let me go again and again. What's the point of having you!"

Chen Weihong said embarrassedly, "I didn't expect that guy to be so bold that he actually dared not to come. This time I failed to do my job well. I have already started to prepare, don't worry."

Peng Yu's eyes were gloomy: "You'd better be."

Seeing the staff noticed them, Peng Yu dragged his suitcase and waved his hand impatiently, asking Chen Weihong to go first. Chen Weihong naturally obeyed and looked back every few steps as if she was worried about her.

Seeing this, Qiansui sighed, "Same people, different fates. You are all artists under Chen Weihong, but he treats you differently. He treats Peng Yu coldly and hotly, orders you around, and always wants to sell you out."

Lu Jinzhao had excellent hearing, and he heard the conversation between Peng Yu and Chen Weihong clearly. He closed his eyes and took a nap without caring: "A broken pot goes with a rotten lid."

Chen Weihong got into the nanny car and left. Peng Yu joined the male guests and chatted with the staff. No one noticed Lu Jinzhao in the corner.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, the director smiled and called everyone to gather. "I'm sorry to make you all get up early. It's really too cold recently to shoot well, so I decided to shoot in a tropical area. Everyone has brought their luggage, right? Let's go to the airport."

One of the male guests raised his hand: "Director, the female guests haven't arrived yet."

The director stroked his stubble and said, "The female guest should leave separately from us."

This place is not far from the airport, and the program team has chartered a plane and can depart at any time. The whole plane is full of staff members of all sizes. Peng Yu gets acquainted with the other male guests, and they occupy the first-class cabin and exclude Lu Jinchao, but Lu Jinchao doesn't indulge him. He twists his arm behind his back and throws him aside, then sits down comfortably.

In less than three hours, they arrived at the famous tropical city of Sanya.

The show started filming on time at ten o'clock.

As a new variety show, it is customary to invite several entertainers and some amateurs to participate in order to attract popularity for the show. The theme of the first season is "Learning to Fall in Love". The program team unanimously claims that it is a recorded broadcast, but in fact it uses the most popular live broadcast method.

Before the show starts, each guest will receive a smart bracelet that can show each participant's heartbeat and emotional fluctuations, and can also serve as an identity marker for each artist.

The program team booked a coffee shop and asked several male guests to play waiters in it. They also thoughtfully provided them with emergency training.

The male guests are all young men with an overall score of more than seven points found by the program team. It is easy for men to get along well with women just by chatting about them.

The male guest named Lei Ling lazily slumped on the small sofa. "It's called a reality show, but they have to have five men and five women and split them into teams. Isn't it actually just a disguised love show that skirts the line? I don't know what the next female guest looks like, and the production team won't spoil it. If they are all tanks and mines, then I've come here for nothing."

Peng Yu smiled knowingly when he heard this: "Our male guests are of such high quality, the quality of the female guests cannot be bad, otherwise I won't be able to eat them either."

"That's right, the program crew insisted on keeping it a secret. Tsk tsk, they're not really going to find some military weapons, are they?" Qin Qi also laughed.

In order to capture the atmosphere of the first encounter between the male and female protagonists of an idol drama, the camera switched to a distant view and was still being debugged, without recording the sound. In addition, everyone thought it was a recorded broadcast, and any bad comments would be edited out for the sake of program effect, so there was no need to be careful about saying the wrong thing all the time, so everyone was more casual.

Lu Jinzhao does not suffer from social phobia, and he does not mind the behavior of several people who privately discuss the female guests' figures and appearance, so he does not communicate with them.

It seemed that the male guests also sensed that Lu Jinzhao was not sociable. When assigning jobs, they deliberately assigned him the barista position at the counter, who had the least exposure. When the barista taught them how to brew coffee, the three of them did not learn seriously at all. Everyone present knew that they were afraid of being embarrassed, so they simply gave the potentially embarrassing job to this guy who was not sociable.

The fifth male guest was a professional barista, but the three insisted on making trouble. The production team also thought it would be more interesting, so they agreed.

Lu Jinzhao said it didn't matter, he was OK with it.

Chitose was anxious: "You're OK if you can make coffee?"

Lu Jinzhao: "I couldn't find a suitable job when I just graduated, so I worked in a coffee shop for two years."

Chitose: “6”

The staff shouted through a loud speaker: "Get ready to shoot, everyone!"

Only then did they sit up from the sofa, put on invisible microphones, and began preparing for the operation of the cafe.

The staff opened the live broadcast room and all that was left was to wait for the girls to appear as customers.

"Ding-ling", the glass door was pushed open, and the small bell on the door edge made a crisp sound. The female guest in a long black straight white dress poked her head out and said, "Hello, are you open?"

Peng Yu hurried forward to greet her, "Hello, young lady. We are open for business. Please come and sit over here."

The first female guest was a beauty who was about to graduate from the Film Academy and make her debut. She followed Peng Yu's instructions and sat down in her seat. She greeted everyone politely: "Hello, my name is Qi Bingxia."

Seeing the beauty, Lei Ling dropped his work and walked over, "Hello, hello, my name is Lei Ling, nice to meet you."

"My name is Peng Yu," Peng Yu smiled, trying to create the feeling of a sunny, young boy.

Qi Bingxia nodded shyly: "Hello, hello."

In a place where no one could see, the comments were scrolling like crazy: "I've been waiting for a long time, and it's finally on! Oh my god, the boys and girls are so good-looking!"

"My brother is so handsome! People who don't understand Peng Yu are in trouble!"

"Beautiful sister, look at me, look at me! I will hold the banner for you!"

At this time, the program director held up a sign outside the venue: Order.

Qi Bingxia saw the prompt, took the menu on the table and looked at it. When she lowered her head, her long hair fell down to block her vision. She raised her hand and tucked her hair behind her ear. "Hello, can I have an iced Americano?"

"Iced Americano, huh? Okay, wait a minute." Lei Ling shouted towards the bar, "Hey there! An iced Americano!"

Chitose was very unhappy and hissed in his throat: "You can't even remember other people's names. How rude."

Lu Jinzhao didn't have any special reaction, and responded calmly: "I know."

Only then did Qi Bingxia notice that there was another person behind the bar. She leaned over to look, and was stunned for a few seconds, then her face gradually turned red.

Lu Jinzhao was wearing a waiter's uniform, busy at a special coffee machine. The lines of his arms were smooth and perfect, attracting attention. The sun shone through the window onto his face, outlining a cool and handsome face. The whole person seemed to be coated with a layer of gold, just like the boy in a white shirt that almost every girl has in her memory.

The program crew was also very thoughtful and gave close-ups of Qi Bingxia's reaction and Lu Jinzhao's coffee-making process.

The comments started screaming: "Damn it! This little brother is so handsome! Does anyone know who he is?!"

"Three minutes, I want all the information about this little brother!"

"Secretary Zhao, please help me check!"

The real-time comments in the live broadcast room were not shared with the guests. The guests thought the program was recorded and knew nothing about it.

Qin Qi noticed that the beauty's attention was attracted by other men, and he was obviously dissatisfied. "Miss, you look familiar. Have we met somewhere before?"

Qi Bingxia came back to her senses and touched her face which was heating up: "Ah? Then you might have seen me on Weibo. The company released a debut announcement before."

Lei Ling exclaimed, "Miss, are you a star?"

"No, no," Qi Bingxia waved her hands repeatedly, seeming a little embarrassed, "I haven't officially debuted yet, so I'm not considered a star."

Peng Yu was obviously afraid that Lu Jinchao would steal the spotlight, so when she saw that the coffee was ready, she immediately brought it to Qi Bingxia and said, "My future celebrity sister, your iced Americano is ready. Please enjoy it!"

The system touched the host's face with its cat paw: "Are you not angry at all when they do this?"

Lu Jinzhao's face was calm, like a still pond, "I won't argue with the idle anger of scholars."

Chitose: "...I feel like you didn't hold your fart well."

"Why do I feel like these male guests are ostracizing this barista guy?"

"The guy upstairs, I feel the same way."

"Is this your illusion? How come I didn't see it? Take my Peng Yu away, and stay away from me, you green tea-loving, show-off-loving idiot!"

"What's upstairs, what's that melon?"

Xi Jun, who was in charge of logistics, came in carrying a bag of coffee beans. He was a barista himself, and the coffee shop was like his own home. He was the only one who was running the business seriously. He glanced at Qi Bingxia's coffee and smiled, "Wow, it looks delicious."

"This little brother is my type!!!"

"I have to say that I admire the production team's aesthetic taste. Each of the five male guests is good-looking in his own way."

"Can you move aside? I want to go in and order a cup of coffee." Another beautiful woman appeared. She had a neatly trimmed jellyfish-like hair with sharp edges and a very cold expression.

Seeing that he was blocking someone else's way, Xi Jun quickly stepped aside: "Oh, sorry."

"No problem." The beautiful woman walked to the bar and ordered from Lu Jinzhao: "Hello, I want a flat white."

"A flat white. Any special requests?"

"No, just the usual."

Lu Jinzhao agreed and started to make it. "It will be ready soon. Please go to the side and take a rest."

Xi Jun glanced at the people chatting around the beauty, walked to the bar, and asked Lu Jinzhao, "Do you need help?"

Lu Jinzhao glanced at him without stopping his hands, "No need, go and greet the customers."

Xi Jun took a sip of the remaining iced American coffee that Lu Jinzhao had brewed earlier, and his eyes lit up: "Brother, would you consider working in my coffee shop? My shop is in the next district."

The comments were full of joy: "Good fellow, others are trying every possible way to pair up couples, but you are here to recruit employees, right?"

"I am dying of laughter. Didn't you notice that his eyes are all lit up? It looks like the drink is really delicious!"

"I would die if I don't drink coffee, but I want to try the taste!"

Lu Jinzhao refused without even raising his head, "I still have to go to school."

Xi Jun felt sorry and wanted to discuss coffee-making methods with Lu Jinzhao, but the director reminded him outside the venue that he should not leave the female guest alone, so he had to go over and join other people's conversation.

The remaining three female guests also walked in one after another. Each of them was beautiful in her own way, and the four male guests were all stunned by their looks.

Lu Jinchao made the coffee ordered by the three female guests in one go and walked over with the cup on a plate. Lei Ling insisted on taking the cup and serving it to the female guests himself, so Lu Jinchao put the cup in his hands and let him do what he wanted.

He took off his apron, folded it neatly and put it in the storage basket, then walked over and sat down next to Xi Jun.

The production team was making trouble, and they insisted that the female guests sit in between the male guests. Originally, there was only Xi Jun next to Lu Jinzhao, but now there was Qi Bingxia on his left and Zhai Nian on his right. He had no choice but to cross his legs to prevent accidentally touching the two female guests, and put the pillow behind him on the legs of Qi Bingxia, who was wearing a short skirt, to prevent her from being exposed and being seen by the male guest opposite.

Qi Bingxia thanked him gratefully. She was not the only one wearing a skirt, but she was the only one wearing a short skirt.

"Oh my god, this little brother may be cold, but he's such a gentleman!"

"Look, the male guest next to him is almost staring at the female guest, but he is the only one who never looks away! Favorability up!"

"Didn't you notice that the first girl who came in had an accelerated heartbeat on her wristband?"

There were only two pillows on the sofa. Peng Yu held one in his arms to look cute. Xun Youran, who was wearing a high-slit long skirt, could only lie sideways with her legs crossed. She looked very uncomfortable, but Peng Yu had no tact at all. No matter how Lei Ling winked at him, he didn't get it.

In the end, Qin Qi took the pillow and handed it to Xun Youran.

The comments were full of ridicule: "What is Peng Yu doing... He has no sense at all."

"That's what I mean. Others have already done a good job, and you can't just copy them."

"Don't be too malicious in the comments, our Xiaoyu just didn't react for a moment, okay!"

Next is the self-introduction session.

From left to right, the first guest smiled and said, "Hello, I'm Qin Qi, 26 years old, currently working as a department manager in a foreign company in Shanghai. I like fitness and cycling."

Lei Ling said, "Oh, I like cycling too! Let's go together when we have time!"

Qin Qi smiled and said, "Okay."
