After being reborn, I'm no longer going to play the role of a spoiled rich kid.

Chapter 206 Variety Show
Hearing You Sijia mention this person, Meng Weiyuan said rather bluntly, "On a TV show, you always have to say something nice."

Yustia: "..."

She didn't respond to Meng Weiyuan's words, but silently threw the cushion she was holding at Meng Weiyuan, and then sat down on the sofa next to her.

Meng Weiyuan, who felt he was telling the absolute truth: "..."

He also felt wronged. He couldn't bring himself to praise a woman who had once had feelings for Yu Sijia in front of her.

He's not that magnanimous yet.

"How's the variety show you were preparing going?" Meng Weiyuan asked, noticing the person next to him puffing out their cheeks and looking annoyed, trying to start a conversation.

Speaking of this, Yuska immediately perked up.

“It’s great. Li Wenjie called me a few days ago to express her gratitude. She said that if it weren’t for our chance encounter in Paris, she would hardly have had this opportunity. However, we have prepared eight guests, plus guest stars, so we haven’t finalized everything yet,” said You Sijia.

Once the variety show guests are confirmed, preparations should begin for recording.

"Why isn't it confirmed?" Meng Weiyuan asked. "Do you need any help?"

If Yustia is looking for people from all walks of life, then perhaps he could be of help.

You Sijia: "Their professions aren't confirmed yet. We've already invited internet celebrity representative Li Wenjie, and two actresses. One is a newcomer we just signed with our company, and the other is a veteran from before, Sister Wang, who always plays the mother of the female lead. She has experience and knows many people, so we're thinking of using this opportunity to promote her and increase her popularity. We've also invited a folk musician. We're still inviting others, and we're planning to invite an entrepreneur and an artist..."

"Entrepreneur?" Meng Weiyuan asked.

Yusjia nodded. "Of course not someone like you. I'm looking to invite entrepreneurs who have some online fame and who started from scratch."

"Is there anyone chosen?"

“Hmm.” You Sijia nodded. “I was thinking of finding the owner of a Hanfu shop. She started her business when she was in college, and I followed her on Xiaohongshu. Although I don’t know much about this industry, her clothes are very beautiful, and the model is the owner herself. She’s quite well-known online.”

Meng Weiyuan was naturally unaware of the income of such small business owners, whose earnings probably didn't even match those of the middle and upper management at Meng's company. However, this didn't stop him from thinking that You Sijia's idea was good.

“That sounds great,” Meng Weiyuan said. “People who have been interacting with fans on the platform since they started their businesses are people who know how to control the flow of topics. If they were complete novices, their performance on the show might not be as good.”

Meng Weiyuan's words made You Sijia's eyes widen in surprise.

“You think the same way I do!” Yusijia immediately forgot how “disliked” Meng Weiyuan she had just been, and took the initiative to distance herself from him. After Meng Weiyuan finished speaking, she came closer again.

Meng Weiyuan wanted to laugh to himself. You Sijia's happiness came so quickly. He also gave a few suggestions seriously, "You can also invite athletes. They bring their own topics and are more positive. They might bring unexpected surprises to your program."

Yuska: "Great idea! What else? Who else do you think we could invite?"

Meng Weiyuan: "You only invited two artists signed to the company, and they are both actors. In recent years, there have been talent shows in China, right? Those idols and the like can also be invited. The traffic and popularity they bring are incomparable to ordinary people."

"That's right!" Yu Sijia's eyes were practically shining as she looked at Meng Weiyuan. She slapped Meng Weiyuan on the shoulder. "I didn't expect you to be so amazing!"

Meng Weiyuan: "..."

Yu Sijia suddenly stood up and ran to the study to send a message to her assistant. Left alone in the bedroom, Meng Weiyuan glanced at the live broadcast still playing on the television screen in front of him, feeling as if he had shot himself in the foot.

As soon as the National Day holiday ended, the temperature in Beijing dropped dramatically, a stark contrast to the still-warm weather in the southern part of the city where people were wearing short sleeves.

Yusjia changed into a black Chanel-style outfit with gold buttons and appeared in the office wearing a pair of eight-centimeter stilettos.

The secretary came to report on the work.

"...The planning department has already identified several public figures from various industries that the boss previously mentioned."

The secretary placed the documents on Yuska's desk.

"As for the comic artists, Ms. Yuan said she is currently serializing her work and probably won't have time to record the show. As for the other artists who became famous earlier, they don't like to show their faces or have no plans to participate in reality shows."

Yuska frowned; she had actually considered this point as well.

Generally, many artists like this are homebodies who are unwilling to go out or be exposed to the camera, which is within her expectations.

"...Actually, there's another person whom everyone in the planning department thinks is quite good," the secretary said.

Yustia looked up. "Huh? Who is it?"

"Boss, you're amazing!" the secretary said.

Yustia: "???"

The secretary spoke up earnestly, "Our boss also has an alias on the comic book platform, and he's quite well-known now, which fits the show's positioning as a moderately famous artist. Since the audience won't know you're our boss anyway, why not debut as an artist?"

Yustia: "..."

This was a direction she had never considered, and perhaps because of this, Yustya subconsciously refused.

“No, that’s not appropriate,” Yustya said.

“I actually think it’s quite suitable.” The secretary knew that You Sijia was an easy-going person, so she wasn’t intimidated by You Sijia’s initial refusal when discussing the matter with her. “Anyway, this is a variety show that our company is collaborating with the platform on. Most of the behind-the-scenes staff are our own people. The boss won’t be mistreated or anything. He can have some fun and make some friends. Besides, we also invited a director this time, right? The boss can also take this opportunity to get to know people in the industry.”

Upon hearing this, Yusjia calmly replied, "So you want me to do the work?"

The director we invited this time is quite capable within the industry. He was also a vice president of Tenglong, who had a past relationship with him, which is why we were able to bring him over.

The other party is a filmmaker; even if Tenglong wanted to collaborate, it would be difficult for them to reach their level.

Secretary: "...No!"

This time, Yuska did not refuse outright. "Let me think about it."

After returning home, You Sijia talked to Meng Weiyuan about it.
