Not a god

Chapter 209 Big Star

When they went to Shanghai, the pillowcases and other items hadn't been changed or washed. Chen Xi went over and took off the pillowcases and duvet cover from the bed. Throughout the process, she was constantly stopped by the two little ginger dogs.

She was hugging his waist and his arm, as if he were an irredeemable villain.

"Brother, what do you intend to do with our sacred object?"

"Including the two weeks I was away, it's been almost a month since I last showered."

"Brother, put it down quickly! This won't do!"

"When exactly did you develop this habit?"

In the end, they could protect nothing and could only watch helplessly as Chen Xi threw all the pillowcases and duvet covers into the washing machine, watching them tumble and roll inside through the glass door.

When he came out of the shower, two girls were standing in front of the washing machine, their faces solemn, as if they were reminiscing about something... Two idiots.

Chen Xi sent them off to take a shower, dried her hair until it was half dry, and sat on the sofa in the living room looking at her phone.

A little girl walked around in the living room, then came out carrying her shark plush toy and walked to the sofa.

For an adult, the sofa is easy to sit on, but it's as high as Xiao Chenyi's chest, so climbing up is not an easy task for her.

She glanced at her father, but he was busy and didn't look at her. She then struggled to climb onto the sofa, muttering to herself, "I can't get up... Yiyi can't get up... Someone help Yiyi..."

Chen Xi put down her phone, picked her up, and pointed to the shark on the ground: "Shark didn't come up, Shark..."

Chen Xi then brought up her shark doll again, and she looked very happy, leaning against her father's body and playing with her doll.

Several messages popped up on their phones, a barrage from Aunt Jiang, telling them to turn on the TV right now and tune in to France TV.

Aunt Jiang: Hurry up!

Aunt Jiang: There are some good ones!
It's obvious what show this woman was on, and it's airing now.

Although Aunt Jiang isn't a big star, she's acted in countless TV dramas over the years, playing supporting roles, third or second female leads. The dramas she's acted in aren't bad; they're mostly local soap operas with little fame.

Aunt Jiang herself couldn't bear to watch those soap operas, let alone let them watch them. Why is she so eager to let them watch them now?

France TV, holding half of the entertainment industry in its hands, is still the most powerful local TV station, despite receiving more criticism in recent years.

It's still 7 or 8 pm, prime time, which is a huge boost for a small-time star like Aunt Jiang who's never seen the world.

Currently, Hunan TV is airing "Back to Field," which is considered a popular variety show in recent years. Even Jiang Wanwan occasionally watches it.

Chen Xi turned on the TV, and the program had just started. It was a preview, a few random clips that seemed like they could apply for a job at UC Shocking News, and then some melodious music.

The cook, Xiao Huang, talked about the guests who would be coming today, and then kept He Jiong and the others in suspense.

Then the scene shifts to a country road, where several guests are chatting and laughing as they drag their suitcases along. Initially, the guests' faces are not shown, creating a great sense of mystery.

Then, several large characters were written: Who exactly is the visitor?
There were two men and one woman in total. Although there was no picture, Chen Xi could still tell at a glance that the woman was Aunt Jiang.

"Oh, I didn't expect it to be you."

"Leilei, your friend is here."

The scene shifts, and Chef Huang jogs out of the kitchen, appearing very familiar with the group, including Aunt Jiang.

"..."

Chen Xi felt something was off; it was a strange feeling that was hard to describe.

Seeing my elders suddenly appear on the screen is a bit strange, even though I often saw them when I was a child.

Moreover, watching Aunt Jiang chat with those big stars who frequently appear on TV, like Teacher He and Teacher Huang, who are practically household names, gave me a strange, slightly awkward feeling. However, Aunt Jiang is a genuine graduate of the Beijing Film Academy, and she and Teacher Huang are indeed fellow students. It's just that they probably didn't have a deep relationship before, and it's even hard to say whether they even knew each other. But now they're acting like they're very familiar with each other.

The remaining two guests are Huang Laoshi's junior fellow students. One is somewhat famous, and the other was once popular but is now somewhat forgotten.

They started working as soon as they arrived. "Rebirth" is a variety show that allows celebrities to experience life in the countryside. Aunt Jiang is indeed from the countryside, and she is even a particularly good cook. Chen Xi used to be taught cooking by her.

But when she entered Chef Huang's territory, she instantly became a complete novice, acting like she knew nothing about anything, which led to a few funny moments.

There were chickens in the yard, and Aunt Jiang was so frightened that she trembled with fear.

"..." If Chen Xi hadn't witnessed her killing chickens in her hometown, he would have truly believed it.

Not to mention chickens, even the dogs back in my hometown avoid her.

At this moment, in the small group chat on her phone, Aunt Jiang was still talking animatedly.

Aunt Jiang: As expected, all variety shows are scripted. I had no connection with Huang X before.
Aunt Jiang: Oh dear, I don't know why, but suddenly I was invited to the Mushroom House.
Aunt Jiang: Isn't this the show that Wanwan often watches?
A little girl glanced at the television and immediately recognized Aunt Jiang:

"Grandma! Dad, it's Grandma!"

"Yes, Grandma is on TV. Yiyi, sit here and watch."

"Grandma is inside!"

"Grandma isn't inside. She's far away. Yiyi only sees her grandma on TV."

Xiao Chenyi ran into the room and dragged out her little stool.

When the two little ginger babies came out after their bath, they were delighted to see the TV screen and then started bombarding Aunt Jiang with their phones.

"If you can't even create any entertainment value, why are you going on this show?"

"Oh my god, you were in that episode with Tong Xiya! Mom, you have to get me her autograph!"

"Grandma, Grandma, can you see me? I saw you on the TV!"

Aunt Jiang chatted enthusiastically with them.

She's still in Fran Province, watching the show in her hotel room, and then ranting and raving to Jiang Wanwan.

Jiang Wanwan asked her, "Aren't you back yet?"

"I have a show to go to tomorrow. Sigh, being a big star isn't easy."

This was, after all, a program with very high viewership, and it started generating discussion online as soon as it aired.

The main topics discussed were those from the show, as well as a few of the guests.

Naturally, Aunt Jiang was also mentioned, a minor celebrity who was not very famous in the past, but who has a high level of public attention.

"Wow, it's Jiang Li! My grandma's favorite show is 'The Family of Healers'."

"...What kind of TV series is this? Isn't the title illegal?"

"They actually invited her too. I've watched many of Jiang Li's TV dramas, but I don't know why she's never become popular."

"I never expected that she was actually Teacher Huang's junior sister. She was so naive back then, haha."

"Hey passerby, this season's female guest is so pretty, what's her name again?"

This is certainly not spontaneous praise; it's clear that Ding Zhen is behind it all, with powerful figures manipulating the situation to deliberately promote Aunt Jiang.
