Chinese entertainment started with male models

Chapter 509 Treating Him Like a Young Master

A Foundation Establishment stage genius cultivator, fresh out of the mountain gate, attempted to challenge a Golden Core stage cultivator, only to bump into a Nascent Soul stage elder first.
This description perfectly describes Dudu's current situation.

Even with her self-made cheat code "Death Note" boost, she still encountered a competitor like Sister Zhao, someone she had never studied before.
Take a deep breath; feeling dizzy is normal!

Although Dudu didn't know what that slightly teasing scrutiny meant, she definitely felt like a little rabbit being targeted by a predator.

But she wasn't afraid!
After all, she's not fighting alone; she has helpers, right, Ono?
Ok?
Chen Duling: Xiaoye, Xiaoye?
Turning my head, I saw that Zhou Ye had run off and started "hooking up" with Yang Chaoyue. The two of them were squatting there, seemingly discussing something.

Yang Chaoyue is also a "guest" in this episode, but unlike Bai Liang and the others, this girl is the type who "flies in" to rest and then stays there, so she will probably participate in the recording until the end of the whole season.

Unlike Bai Liang and his group, who only come to record one episode and stay for two days before leaving.

Chen Duling: I knew Zhou Ye was a hopeless puppy!

She took a deep breath. It's okay, she'll do it herself.
When I turned around, I found that Bai Liang was gone too!

Fortunately, he hadn't gone far. He and Zhao Liying were by the fish tank, pointing at one of the fish and talking to it.

The next second, Zhao Liying took a net and scooped out the fish that Bai Liang had just pointed to, then grabbed a stick and hit the fish with it.

Boom!
The hard fish head made a dull thud against the stick, and then the once lively fish lay there motionless.

This scene gave Chen Duling quite a fright. To be honest, she had indeed studied cooking and put in a lot of effort, and now she actually had some experience in cooking.

At least getting Bai Liang a couple of decent dishes shouldn't be a problem.

But she always has people buy ingredients on-site for cooking, and things like fish are always prepared in advance.

Asking her to handle live animals is definitely out of the question. I wouldn't dare!
Although Zhao Liying's stick hit the fish on the head, in a way, it was a blow to her.

I'm totally confused!
Is this woman really that fierce?! She killed the fish while laughing?!

Sister Zhao: Actually, I don't usually do this kind of work, but this brat is pointing at this fish and looks like he really wants to eat it, so what should I do?
Of course we'll spoil him.

"Wow~ Fast, accurate, and ruthless! What great skills you have, heroine!" Bai Liang praised, giving a thumbs up.

Sister Zhao couldn't help but show a smug smile on her face.

The next second, Bai Liang said, "But I don't actually want to eat it. I want to ask if this fish was caught from the Yangtze River. I brought a fishing rod and I want to go night fishing tonight."

Zhao Liying:
The smile instantly froze on her face.

Nima!

You should have said so earlier if you didn't want to eat it! I could have knocked it to death already, you little bastard!

However, the older sister contestant had a very strong mentality. She glared at Bai Liang with annoyance, then lightly tossed her hair and said, "Oh, actually I want to eat them. You should catch a few more."

Upon hearing this, Bai Liang, who had only wanted to relax and cast a line for a couple of fishing trips, suddenly felt as if he had accepted a main quest.

The fish in the Yangtze River are going to be in trouble now!
"Okay, I'll fill this big water tank for you."

"Dudu, how about you take care of this fish? Didn't you say you know how to cook fish?" Bai Liang turned to Chen Duling and said.

He naturally wouldn't forget Dudu, the girl who had been "bragging" about her cooking skills to him on the way here, acting as if she was about to transform into a little chef.

Bai Liang and Zhou Ye were really taken aback.
Bai Liang is so considerate; he always makes sure to give her a chance to shine and even gives her more screen time.

Here comes the opportunity!
"Oh, okay!"

Chen Duling looked at the fish lying motionless and frantically tried to cheer herself up.

Dudu, you can do it!
It's just dealing with a fish. She can just secretly go online and look up how to do it later.

I couldn't resist gently touching the fish with my foot, and just when I thought I had killed it, it suddenly jumped up!
I almost splashed the water droplets off my body onto Chen Duling's face.

In an instant, she felt utterly devastated, her heart screaming: It's not dead! It can still move!
To be fair, Dudu's facial expression management is quite good.

Even though she was internally screaming in despair, she maintained a calm expression, putting on a good act.
But her workload won't change because of this; in fact, it will increase by one more thing: kill this fish!
Following Zhao Liying's example, Chen Duling picked up the stick next to her and reached out to knock the fish's head.

The thing suddenly bounced up, startling her so much that she lost her grip.
Oh my god, she was "disarmed" by a fish!

While Chen Duling and the dried fish were eating, Zhou Ye and Yang Chaoyue, the two girls, huddled together and chattered for a while before turning to look at Bai Liang.

"what happened?"

"Brother, can you cook?" Zhou Ye asked curiously.

Bai Liang didn't mention this on the way here, but based on my understanding of Bai Liang, I always felt that he could do it, and his cooking skills must be extraordinary.

It can be considered a form of path dependence, right?
After all, he's a perfect man, so when it comes to things like cooking, it always feels like he's got it all figured out.

These days, a guy who can cook is actually a big plus.

Even the production team thought so.
The production team of "Chinese Restaurant" didn't even ask Bai Liang if he could cook; they simply assumed he could.

Bai Liang, he knows so many different things, and he must be quite good at a skill as practical as cooking.

The production team still has "ambitions," hoping that Bai Liang can showcase skills he hasn't displayed in previous episodes.
If he were to do something like flipping a wok in a cool way, wouldn't all the female viewers be screaming with excitement?

Bai Liang: "Oh, I don't know how."

Yang Chaoyue and Zhou Ye asked in unison, "Really?"

"I really don't know how. At most, I can make you a vegetable salad or a fruit platter. I don't even know how much water to put in when cooking rice," Bai Liang said honestly.

Honestly, why does everyone think he can cook?
He clearly stated this on the show "Back to Field" before, so they should know.
The production crew couldn't sit still any longer, and the director came over directly, "Brother Liang, you can't cook?"

"No way."

The other person thought for a moment and said, "I can do that."

"I really don't know," Bai Liang denied, then added with some doubt, "I said that before on 'Back to Field'! Oh! I get it. You guys don't think I didn't want to steal Teacher Huang's thunder back then, do you?"

The show's director was a little embarrassed; yes, that's exactly what they thought.

In fact, quite a few people think this way.

Even Teacher Huang himself probably had this thought. Bai Liang went twice but never went into the kitchen, and Teacher Huang even felt that he was giving him face.
It won't choke you.

It can only be said that Bai Liang's public image is far too versatile; apart from singing and dancing, there is almost nothing he can't do.

Zhao Liying: You guys don't know?
She was stunned when she heard this. Bai Liang, cooking?
This kid stayed at her home in Beijing and the home she bought in Shanghai for a few days. During that time, apart from ordering takeout, he was "fed" by Sister Zhao, who would cook noodles and fry eggs for him as extra meals.

During the visit, Sister Zhao wanted to try his services, but Bai Liang almost set her newly renovated kitchen on fire!
What a pampered young master who never lifts a finger!
That's right, young master~
This is the nickname that Sister Zhao gives Bai Liang in private.

It takes precedence over terms like "brat" or "little bastard."

It has nothing to do with the "young masters" in clubs; it's a heartfelt sentiment.

This kid does know a lot of things, but most of them aren't very proper.

If you summarize carefully, they can all be related to "playing".

He is not good at real, practical, and useful skills.

Even being good at studying and taking exams is essentially the same; it's not very useful in real life.

Bai Liang: Dude, I've lived like this for two lifetimes~ I've said before that the hardest thing I've ever suffered was drinking an iced Americano.
Once things were clear, Bai Liang's niche in the Chinese restaurant was immediately established.

A "little piece of waste" that needs to be kept away from the kitchen.

Fortunately, it's okay. The kitchen is the domain of "Don't tell me what you think, tell me what I think" Brother Ming and the hired Chef Lin, while the front of house is Sister Zhao's territory. Bai Liang will definitely stick with Sister Zhao!
Being a waiter and doing odd jobs is not bad.

The regular guests on the show, Huang Xiaoming and Zhang Liang, went ashore to buy groceries, so they haven't appeared yet.

After learning that Bai Liang was "useless" in this area, the girls did not feel disappointed or that their idol image was shattered.

They actually got excited!
How to put it? It's as if the feeling of being high above and untouchable has suddenly faded a lot.

Even though Bai Liang has always been gentle to people, as he gained more and more accolades, his image in the eyes of others began to change regardless of his own will.

To put it simply, most of the people you encounter in the entertainment industry are simply impossible to get along with in a normal way.

While it's not quite like it's been suddenly pulled down from its pedestal, it has become more approachable.

"Brother, do you know how to make fried rice?"

"No way... what's wrong?"

Zhou Ye chuckled, "I know how~" Bai Liang: .
What else could he say? He gave a thumbs up.

"amazing!"

"Right? I'll teach you later."

“I know even more!” Yang Chaoyue immediately jumped out. After all, she had been working for a long time, and although she couldn’t open a restaurant, she was sure she knew a lot about these things.

"You're even more amazing!" Bai Liang transformed into an emotionless emotional value-providing machine, showering the girls with likes and comments.
Just then, Sister Zhao glanced at me: "You little rascal, I even made noodles for you earlier!"
Bai Liang: My sister is the best!
Okay, from now on, let's just change the name of this show to "The Amazing Girls"?
Wow! We have some very important guests at our Chinese restaurant!

At this moment, Huang Xiaoming and the others finally returned. Upon seeing Bai Liang, their first words were exaggerated, and their cheekbones bulged with an enthusiastic smile.

At this point, all the guests on the show had finally arrived.

Meanwhile, Dudu was still struggling with the fish.
She's been working on this thing for over half a day and still hasn't figured it out.

This fish is quite pitiful, because it's still alive.
If it could talk, it would probably beg Dudu to give it a quick death. This guy is cutting its body with a kitchen knife, only picking off a few scales each time. Even a fish can't stand that. Is he trying to torture it to death?

"Dudu, are you done yet?"

"Ah~ not yet, senior, please wait a little longer, go out first~" Chen Duling said with a smile, her hands behind her back.

Bai Liang's eyelids twitched. What did it mean to hide the knife behind his back?

My neck feels a dull ache, as if my head is about to fall off.
Be careful not to hurt yourself.

"No way! I can handle it!" Dudu insisted.

As it turns out, she couldn't handle it.
Finally, blushing, she asked Chef Lin from the show for help to prepare the fish.

At the same time, we started preparing dinner for today.

Since we're not open for business today, there's not much work to do overall. The main things we need to film are the busy work in the kitchen and the conversations during dinner. This part feels quite similar to "Back to Field".

The biggest difference is that Chef Lin on this show is a real chef! A very skilled one.

So Bai Liang was really looking forward to dinner~
Oh right, and I'm also looking forward to seeing Dudu's cooking skills.

Bai Liang, who had found a deck chair and was leisurely lying down on the deck, thought to himself.

As for helping?

The biggest help he can give is simply not going into the kitchen and causing trouble.

"Young Master, slacking off again?"

Sister Zhao caught him on the spot!
However, Bai Liang wasn't flustered at all. Instead, he sniffed and asked, "What delicious food is it?"

"I made you a cucumber salad because of your dog-nose nose."

Sister Zhao took her hand out from behind her back and handed Bai Liang a cucumber salad.

I might say he's lazy, but actually I spoil him—I even prepare snacks for him.

"Long time no see, sister's cooking skills are as good as ever!"

"What skill do you have to make a cucumber salad? You're just lying here? Be careful the production team does some terrible editing and says you're slacking off on the show, and then the audience will cyberbully you!" Sister Zhao threatened after sitting down next to Bai Liang.

"Is your 'Chinese Restaurant' a Mango TV show?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Sister Zhao asked, somewhat puzzled by Bai Liang's seemingly obvious question.

"That's no problem."

Bai Liang put his hands behind his head, indicating that he was Mango TV's "daddy" and that they would never do this to anyone else with their terrible editing.

Of course, the number of "rebellious sons" in this regard has actually been increasing, and many TV stations are looking to find a "godfather."
"You're really something," Sister Zhao said with a laugh.

Although her style of dress has changed, her style of speaking has remained largely the same.

At least when she was with Bai Liang, she always liked to complain and curse, as if she couldn't stand anything about him.

However, when facing others, he is somewhat less talkative than before.

"Young Master, you should rest well. I'll call you when it's time to eat."

After chatting with Bai Liang for a bit, Sister Zhao prepared to go back and help.

The next second, my wrist was grabbed and I was pulled.
"Are you trying to get yourself killed?! We're on TV!"

The sudden closeness startled her, and she quickly looked around.

Upon closer inspection, there was indeed no one around. It seemed that the production team did not want to disturb Bai Liang's rest at this moment and had deliberately cleared this area.

Oh, right! There's also the microphone!
Sister Zhao nodded quickly and looked at the microphone clipped to her collar, only to find that it had been turned off.

Bai Liang: There's nothing special about it, it's just a matter of practice.

Having been in the industry for so long, he can now turn off his mic as quickly as he can undress a girl!

However, Sister Zhao couldn't really let him run wild in such a place. After confirming that there was really no one around, she gave him a little treat and then quickly got up and ran back.

To be honest, this occasional stimulation made her heart pound, as if she had returned to her twenties.

"That brat is really going to get himself killed."

After complaining, Sister Zhao looked down at her apron and suddenly couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Now they're really treating him like a young master."

Absolutely! Bringing him food, preparing dinner for him, and letting him take advantage of her—it's practically like a little maid!

It's just this feeling~
Strangely enough, it's actually not bad.

Just as she was about to go back to the kitchen, she suddenly remembered something, so Sister Zhao decided to go find Bai Liang again.

But as soon as he turned the corner, he saw that his spot had been taken by a younger and prettier girl.

Yang Chaoyue huddled next to Bai Liang, chattering away, holding a cup of milk tea in her hand.

After tilting her head to observe the scene, Sister Zhao stood there for a few seconds before turning away.

There was no disturbance.

"Brother Bai, I guess I've finally treated you to milk tea this time~ So I've kept my promise!"

The so-called promise was that when Bai Liang went to "Produce 101", he treated the girls to milk tea bought by Zhu Yilong. The girls then "made a grand vow" that if they became successful and collaborated with Bai Liang in the future, they would treat him to milk tea.

"Bullshit, does bumping into each other on a show count?" Bai Liang said casually while sipping the milk tea Yang Chaoyue had brought him.

“No one else can even run into you on the show,” Yang Chaoyue said matter-of-factly.

Indeed, "Produce 101" was so popular in the summer of 18, but two years later, it seems that only Yang Chaoyue still has a presence in the entertainment industry and can occasionally make it to the trending topics. This little lucky koi is doing the best.

But it's not that she's doing so well; it's that everyone else is really not doing so well.

Although Meng Meiqi, who has the best resources, has not yet experienced the 456 incident, the projects she has participated in have not made much of a splash.

In terms of generating buzz, it's not as popular as this little koi fish.

"By the way, where did you get the milk tea on the ship?" Bai Liang asked curiously.

"Of course I bought it down below the ship and brought it up!"

Just two glasses?

"Ugh~ My bag can't hold that much."

That's a lie. The truth is, if I bought a cup for everyone else, it wouldn't feel like it had any special meaning.

She and Bai Liang each had a cup, which was actually...
Bai Liang: Who's sharing a drink with you?
When Bai Liang saw that Yang Chaoyue's cup remained untouched, he quickly gulped down his own milk tea and then took hers as well.

When the other person noticed and their eyes widened, he gave her a mischievous grin.
"Brother, do you want some delicious food?"

The sound of Zhou Ye, the happy little dog, could be heard from afar.

Alright, alright, the third wave of feeding is here!

As expected of a food program!
