Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 589 For the four of us, making a good life is more important than anything else.
After the hot pot dinner, everyone went home.

Xiao Hu, who had been patient for a long time, was eager to monopolize Shen Juan's Heavenly Spiritual Root and cultivate immortality on her own. However, Lao Song was, after all, the eldest sister in their dormitory. Not only did she take good care of them, but she also taught them a lot of useful knowledge about navigating the entertainment industry and pleasing Shen Juan. To some extent, she could be considered both a teacher and a friend.

So they didn't refuse her request to join, and the original one-on-one skill transfer was changed to playing Dou Dizhu (a card game).

Best friends should share the same hair!
However, Yang Mi happened to witness this scene.

They happened to be staying at the same hotel.

Just as this woman was about to come over and have a heart-to-heart talk with Lao Song, whom she felt she had met too late, and ask her to explain what kind of magic Shen Juan possessed that could attract so many women to his side, she saw this younger sister sneak out of the room and walk straight into Shen Juan's room at the end of the corridor.

Old Honey was immediately stunned with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

I should be under the car, not in the car.

This is probably how she feels right now.

But soon, she realized something was wrong.

No, how could a woman steal from her own workplace?

So you set up a stall to do business, grilled the starch sausages, and then ate a couple to help customers taste them, right?

Is he really that dedicated?

(Lao Song: Food is the most important thing for the people, and safety must be the top priority)
The following morning, Shen Juan rushed back to Shanghai and met up with Tian Yexiao and the other two, playing tennis with them.

Yes, it's real tennis.

It's not some weird slang.

But the intensity of real tennis is no less than that of fake tennis, not to mention that Shen Juan was playing against three people in a row.

Moreover, among the three little ones, the youngest is also a bit weak.

The other two, whether it's Xiao Xiao who is still in the process of losing weight or Sister Tian who has a lot of energy to spare, are both very talented in terms of physical fitness and are both athletic powerhouses.

Even though they are indeed a bit weaker than men, they still grab their boyfriends and keep going at it like crazy!
Thankfully, Shen Juanren was nicknamed the "Iron Man of Shanghai," otherwise he really wouldn't have been able to withstand the high-intensity triathlon pace of the past few days.

In the evening, I found a private restaurant to have dinner.

With quick reflexes, Sister Tian seized the spot to Shen Juan's left and smugly started browsing Weibo news.

Then the more I scrolled, the more excited I became, and the happier I got! After a while, I finally couldn't help but let out a dragon's roar and went wild.

"What's wrong? Why are you laughing so lewdly?" Shen Juan asked without turning his head while taking a picture of Xiao Xiao across from him.

"When we came out of the tennis venue after playing tennis, someone took a picture of us and it went viral. Now a lot of people are talking about it!"

[I'm healthy and I love playing mahjong, so what?]

[Alex works so hard all the time, wouldn't it be great if he could just relax and enjoy life and love! He manages to balance career and love, and even has so many relationships at the same time—a true powerhouse, a real man among men! He deserves our respect!]

[You're really good at balancing things. Bringing three girls along saves time, shows no favoritism, satisfies netizens' gossip cravings, and most importantly, their interactions aren't awkward at all—you're truly unbeatable! I suggest the authorities investigate this thoroughly; I have a feeling this guy has some kind of charm system.]

[Fan: It's fake, it's all fake. My brother is busy producing an album. It's obvious someone is impersonating him to gain popularity!]

[I really don't understand why Shen Juan would get together with this notorious, arrogant delinquent girl. Is he after her foul mouth?]

[Those who say the woman has character flaws, why have you been willing to be with her for so many years? Haven't you ever thought about that? Are you implying that you yourselves are also morally corrupt?]

[Seriously, some people should stop saying they feel sorry for the fans and that it's unfair to them. I've been a fan of Alovers for three years and I don't care at all whether Shen Juan is in a relationship or not. I just want him to be happy! Shen Juan's fans are as pure as they can be! Unless he breaks the law, you can't drive anyone away!]

Shen Juan took the phone and read the comments for a while.

Then I directly retorted to her.

"Be careful not to laugh your way into nasolabial folds when you look at this kind of thing every day."

"What the hell? Are you even taking away my right to be happy?" Sister Tian snatched the phone back from Shen Juan's hand, somewhat annoyed.

"I was just thinking of you."

"Clam?"

Shen Juan explained earnestly, "If you were like me and didn't care at all about netizens' opinions on your appearance, then of course you could do whatever you wanted. But the problem is that you can't. Since you care so much about netizens' comments and feel upset for half a day every time you see comments that criticize you, then you might as well work hard to improve yourself."

"Simply put, since you can't change the environment, you should let the environment change you. Making peace with the world is also very important."

Although Shen Juan unconditionally supports his girlfriend, he feels that Sister Tian sometimes doesn't need to fight to the death with those haters.

Because it is not necessary.

People who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who wear shoes.

With his current fan base, if he were to start a cyberbullying campaign, the sustained damage would definitely exceed everyone's imagination.

Moreover, Sister Tian is far from being as strong and open-minded as she appears. Sometimes she gets upset by netizens, doubts herself, or is overwhelmed by emo emotions.

Occasionally, she would even encounter some incredibly skilled individuals who would physically assault her, subjecting her to various forms of humiliation and mockery offline. This had even made it to the trending topics list a few times before.
So perhaps out of pity, Shen Juan didn't want Xiao Tian to face cyberbullying and bear all the grievances alone.

Sister Tian looked up at Shen Juan's gentle yet serious eyes, remained silent for a moment, and finally sighed.

As the saying goes, learning is like rowing against the current; if you don't advance, you'll fall behind.

In recent years, in order to draw attention away from Shen Juan and shield him from various scandals and controversies, he has offended so many fan groups.

She was already in a bind!

At this moment, retreating would be tantamount to falling into an abyss, where all the resentment and hatred she had accumulated would instantly engulf her.

So we had no choice but to grit our teeth and push forward.

Even knowing that the further she went, the more precarious the path would become, she had no choice, because she had already chosen the most difficult path.

(Sister Tian's Tennis Today ootd)

Seeing that Sister Tian's brows were slightly furrowed and she looked preoccupied, Cheng Xiao tactfully changed the subject.

"Hey, when do you guys want filming to start this year?"

"March, but the exact date hasn't been set yet."

The thought of not being able to be with Shen Juan 24/7 during filming this year made Sister Tian feel a deep sense of sorrow.

This show is so annoying, I might as well not record it!
"We also plan to start filming for Running Man in March."

"Where's Xiao Ye?"

"I didn't schedule any regular variety shows for the first half of the year."

Zhou Ye took a sip of juice, her tone indifferent.

Although Starlink helped her secure a permanent spot on the Chinese Restaurant show this year, that's all in the middle of the year; it's too early now.

Moreover, after spring arrives, there is another Starlink drama, "Reboot Life," in which she and Tian Xiwei co-star (it has been agreed with Netflix that they will handle the overseas distribution), to be filmed. Therefore, she has decided to use these few months to adjust her state and establish her acting system, and absolutely, absolutely, absolutely not let Tian Xiwei overshadow her in the same frame!

I can lose to anyone, but I can't lose to her!

Cheng Xiao glanced at Zhou Ye and Tian Xiwei, whose expressions varied, and then asked, "So, do you have any plans for the Chinese New Year this year?"

"No." Xiao Ye shook her head.

"Me neither," Sister Tian echoed, shaking her head.

Shen Juan smoothly picked up the conversation, extending a gentle invitation that made them feel important and valued: "How about coming to the US for the New Year? I should be in LA on New Year's Eve. It's such an important holiday, and it would be so boring to be all alone in a foreign country. Can you come and keep me company?"

"But it seems like I'll have to quarantine for 14 days after returning to China."

Sister Tian was already tempted, after all, for her, who was in the throes of new love, spending time with her boyfriend was far more important than spending time with her parents!

So she was just being stubborn on her own, pretending to be difficult, but inside she was already incredibly excited!

“14 days is a bit long. But it’s okay if you don’t come. We can just video chat when the time comes.” Shen Juan used a strategy of retreat to advance.

Now Sister Tian couldn't hold back any longer. Afraid that he would really withdraw his invitation, she immediately took the opportunity to back down, her tone feigning casualness but unable to hide her eagerness: "Well, that's true, but it's not impossible for me to come. After all, I feel like I haven't traveled abroad in a long time. I can go abroad to relax!"

After dealing with the tsundere Sister Tian, ​​Shen Juan turned to Zhou Ye: "Where's Xiao Ye? Let's spend the New Year together in the US this year!"

"it is good!"

Zhou Ye agreed almost without thinking, two shallow dimples appearing on her cheeks, her smile bright and sweet.

"Okay! That makes this New Year's Eve perfect!"

Shen Juan clapped his hands with a smile.

But then Sister Tian suddenly remembered something, frowned and looked at Shen Juan: "Wait, why didn't you ask Xiao Xiao if she was going?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Juan's smile vanished instantly, his expression turning serious as he asked in a low, stern voice, "Why are you asking her?"

"?"

Sister Tian and Zhou were both stunned, thinking that there had been some unpleasantness between them, which was why Shen Juan deliberately did not invite them.

For a moment, they were overwhelmed with a complex mix of emotions, unsure whether to be happy or sad.

Although Cheng Xiao is indeed their rival, having one less rival means they will have more time to spend with Shen Juan.

But Cheng Xiao is also their best friend.

Without her, the earth would still turn as usual, and life would still go on, but it would always feel like something was missing.

"No need to ask~"

Fortunately, Cheng Xiao's soft, sweet voice quickly chimed in. The two of them, like pilots in Pacific Rim, turned their heads in perfect unison, both looking at their mutual friend. Cheng Xiao smiled, her eyes crinkling, and explained, "Because I was the one who originally suggested going to the US for Chinese New Year!"

It was only then that Tian Xiwei and Zhou Ye belatedly realized that the two of them had teamed up to tease them!
But I felt no anger at all.

On the contrary, they only felt relieved.

It's so good that we didn't argue!
After all, if even Cheng Xiao and Shen Juan, who have such good tempers and personalities, can quarrel, what are the two of them supposed to do?
They were already in a constant state of "a small argument every three days and a big argument every five days," and any little thing could become the fuse for their quarrel. Now that there's no one to mediate, is that alright?
so.
Fish is what I desire, and bear's paw is also what I desire.

Is it impossible to have both?
fart!

You can have both!
I want both my husband and my best friend!

For the four of us, making a good living is the most important thing!

After dinner, the three sisters, Ran Dong and Shen Juan, decided to go shopping at Henglong Plaza. Every year, LV would give Shen Juan a considerable amount of spending quota, but Shen Juan had never spent it all. This was because LV would usually deliver the items that needed him to promote to his home, so there was no possibility of him having to go offline to restock.

Shen Juan said goodbye to them and went to the venue for this year's LPL Spring Split - Hongqiao Tiandi Performing Arts Center.

At 6:30 p.m., half an hour before the start of the competition.

The two teams on stage were locked in a fierce battle.

Shen Juan, the owner of Estar, was backstage visiting and meeting with the members of the newly formed Galaxy team this year.

As soon as Shen Juan entered the room, surrounded by the manager and team leader, everyone in the lounge stood up and bowed to him.

They were either so excited that their faces turned red, or so nervous that they didn't know what to do. Luckily, the manager had told them in advance that Shen Juan would be watching the game tonight, which gave them some time to prepare.

Otherwise, he would probably be making a fool of himself in front of audiences across the country and even the world right now, as recorded by the vlog camera!
Tarzan and Viper, Korean players who recently came to China from LCK, bowed and scraped respectfully to Shen Juan and introduced themselves to him in their newly learned Chinese with a very professional attitude.

Although the accent may sound strange, the key to quickly mastering a language is to dare to speak it.

You have to abandon all your idol image and such.

then
Knight, the mid-laner who looked a bit like he was burning fire, also walked over timidly, but he didn't dare to look Shen Juan in the eye the whole time.

It felt like I would be blinded by the sun's rays if I looked up.

Moreover, if Shen Juan didn't recognize his face, he might have mistaken him for a Korean aid who studied Chinese very hard.

After all, his Mandarin is indeed a bit abstract.

As for the rookie support On and top laner Bin
"Hey Juan, it's great to see you again! Although I didn't beat Nuguri in the S10 finals last year, I learned a lot from that defeat. And what you told me that day, 'When the sun rises, forget everything,' I followed through perfectly. So believe me, I'll crush him today!"

Looking at that chubby, spirited face, Shen Juan was taken aback, then couldn't help but laugh. "Okay, I believe you!"

"Winning or losing is only temporary; skill is what lasts. Today, I'll show him who the world's number one top laner is! Although I lost to him last year, this is S11, and I've matured so much since then. Plus, I've been practicing new champions all this time. I'm going to solo kill him today!"

"Uh-huh, good luck!"

Shen Juan subconsciously glanced at Tabe, the head coach whom the management had just poached from RNG, his eyes seeming to ask a question.
Is the child alright?

What did you instill in him?
How much PUA have you done to him?
Tabe awkwardly avoided eye contact.

He does indeed love PUA fighters.

But those were all well-intentioned PUA tactics.

It's PUA that helps them build confidence and improve.

Therefore, he did not feel that he had done anything wrong.

After all, South Koreans are just too good at playing games. If you want to overtake them, in addition to offering high salaries to poach their star players and learning their tactics, these unique skills are also crucial.

After the pre-battle mobilization and group photo, I pulled the management team aside for a brief chat in the corridor and gave them important instructions that must be implemented: sex education must be done well, and we must emphasize the dangers of abortion, sexual assault, MMC, and PC to these "high-income internet addicts" who left school too early.

We must not allow them to do whatever they want.

At least the name Estar shouldn't be changed to Pstar or rnstar by netizens because of their behavior!

That might also have some impact on him as the boss, such as with nonsense like "like father, like son."
He didn't want to become a target for attacks by haters and suffer a backlash from public opinion simply because he invested in a club.

The match was about to begin, and Shen Juan went to the VIP box on the upper floor to meet his friends who had been waiting there for a long time.

"Where have you been? Why are you so late?" Cheng He wasn't interested in watching the game; he just came to hang out with Shen Juan.

Through the past two years of getting to know each other and spending time together, he found that Shen Juan's personality, character, and hobbies were quite to his liking.

They're not exactly birds of a feather, but they're certainly in cahoots.

In short, he felt that Shen Juan was a very good playmate and believed that this friendship was worth his effort to cultivate and maintain.

"The roads shouldn't be too congested today, so that eliminates one reason." Peng Peng also brought his girlfriend along today.

Speaking of which, the couple's relationship seems to be quite stable. Anyway, they haven't had any problems in the past four or five years. So, as Peng Peng's good homie, Shen Juan accepted Zeng Xing into their circle, which is very mysterious to outsiders, allowing this agent to gain connections that all her peers envy.

"I just went backstage to meet the contestants," Shen Juan replied with a smile, gently pinching Shen Yujie's two small earlobes.

He had promised to bring Xiao Shen to watch the game live, and he has indeed kept his word and not disappointed her.

Even though he knew perfectly well that Xiao Shen had no interest in League of Legends or watching games live, all she really wanted was to be with him.

But he still kept his promise and made a point of taking time to watch the game with her, giving her the companionship she wanted.

The following time slipped away quietly amidst lively chatter, and the highly anticipated showdown soon began.

As the champions of the S9 World Championship two years ago, FPX has also brought in Nuguri, the top laner who won the S10 World Championship, making them a force to be reckoned with.

Of course, all five players on Estar's side possess top-tier talent that overflows the screen. Apart from ON, who is currently unknown, they are basically all monster rookies.

Therefore, it attracted a large number of viewers and the competition was very fierce.

Ultimately, Estar won this highly anticipated match with a total score of 2-1 thanks to the outstanding performance of their two carry junglers.

As for the top lane?

Why would Bin lie to us?

This guy neither solo-killed Nuguri nor proved to the world who is the real world's best top laner this year.

They are at best a 50/50 split.

Bin won by default, while Nuguri lost by default.

The outcome of a match has little to do with the top laner.

Anyway, Shen Juan suspected that Bin would probably say the same thing to him again when they met next, trying to make him believe him one more time.
In addition, since the event organizers knew very well who the real traffic core of this highlight showdown was, the director, who was authorized by above, directly projected the scene of Shen Juan and others chatting in the VIP box into the live broadcast. Shi Yi was personally supervising the battle on site, and this scene instantly sparked heated discussions in the live broadcast room.

[Holy crap! I'm exhausted!]

Show some respect, everyone! This is the Chinese GOAT of League of Legends! He owns two skins, second only to Faker!

So, who is stronger, Uzi or Alex?

Does someone without skin have the right to accuse someone with skin?

[By the way, who's this girl next to Brother Juan? She looks so sweet and pretty, just as good as Sister Tian. She's definitely my wife.]

[Anyone here is just as good as Sister Tian, ​​right?]

[Has Sister Tian become the unit of measurement for Uncle Juan's fishpond?]

[Sister Tian only benefited from the era's advantages; if she were played in today's version, she definitely wouldn't win the championship.]

That's right, the ancient champions are in trouble!

What about Zhou Ye and Cheng Xiao?

[Zhou Ye is like Dwyane Wade; from the moment she accepted Tian Xiwei into Beijing, her historical status was halved. This is the latest 21st-century interpretation of "inviting a wolf into the house."]

[Does this mean Tian Xiwei is like James, and Cheng Xiao is like Bosh? I don't care. Anyway, I support Cheng Xiao! Because she has a major flaw!]

I think Liu Haocun is the chosen one lately; her resources and background are like those of a top scholar, a chosen one!

[Is nobody supporting Fireworks Girl and Crazy Girl Hu? Their talent is obvious, it feels like winning the championship is only a matter of time.]

Looking at it this way, Sister Tian seems to have a bit of the old champion CJB vibe. How come it feels like all the new generation are stronger than her?

After reading these infuriating comments, Tian Jie, who considered herself mature, tried to control her surging emotions. She looked up at Cheng Xiao and Zhou Ye beside her and said in a stiff tone, "What do you mean? It seems that Juan Gou won't be coming back to sleep tonight. Do you have any plans? I don't really want to go to bed early tonight."

Cheng Xiao's eyes lit up: "Want to watch a horror movie?"

Zhou was a little scared: "What kind of horror movie?"

"Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum, a movie from two years ago. I heard it was a mockumentary and very scary, so I never dared to watch it."

Sister Tian rolled her eyes: "So you just asked us to come with you? No wonder you went straight to the private film editing equipment as soon as you came in last night."

"Oh my! Sister Tian, ​​you're our only designated sweet tank! You're so brave, it's okay if you take some time to watch a horror movie with us~" Cheng Xiao opened his arms and hugged the sweet and soft Tian who had just taken a bath, and used the same tone he used to talk to Shen Juan to coax Sister Tian.

Sister Tian was secretly pleased, but didn't want to show it: "Then I'll make it clear beforehand, don't hug me if you get scared and cry later!"

"I'll hug you, I'll hug you!" Cheng Xiao wouldn't let her have her way.

"?"

"Xiaotian, you're just a sweet and soft little cake!"

"Get out of here!"
