My performance on a breakup reality show brought Tien Hsi-wei to tears, and I became an internet sen

Chapter 138 Facing the artists, Li Shen takes the initiative to break the ice!

Li Shen: "In many aspects of the driving experience, new energy vehicles have huge advantages, such as acceleration capabilities, smoothness, quietness, and the absence of engine noise."

Zhou Shen: "The driving experience of a 20 yuan new energy vehicle may exceed that of a million-yuan luxury car."

Li Shendao said, "The widespread adoption of electric vehicles, in a sense, has brought the experience of high-end gasoline cars down to the common people. But what is the biggest problem currently facing the development of electric vehicles in China?"

"Battery technology?"

Li Shen shook his head: "I think it's about people. Some car companies have taken a crooked path, always thinking about being different and ignoring the most basic principle that technology should be people-oriented. Other car companies are not thinking about how to build good cars, but how to maximize profits from consumers."

The development of new energy vehicles allows for trial and error; in the process of rapid development, there will inevitably be some detours and mistakes. However, the real problem lies in having the wrong starting point and the wrong mindset in car manufacturing.

Communication between unfamiliar men, and shared interests, are often the best way to break the ice.

For example, a cigarette, or a good movie.

When the topic turned to new energy, Li Shen and Zhou Shen finally found common ground.

-

However, after a few words, the conversation stalled.

Zhou Shen doesn't know much about cars.

The car drove awkwardly along the road, and silence fell over the passenger compartment once again.

Next location, downstairs in a shopping mall.

As soon as the car stopped, a woman wearing large-framed glasses on the roadside frowned and looked inside the car.

This woman was slightly overweight, plain-looking, and had no star quality.

She was pulling a suitcase with her left hand and carrying a large woven bag in her right, from which came the clucking of geese.

Upon seeing the woman, Zhou Shen immediately sat up straight. He unbuckled his seatbelt and opened the car door: "Hi, Li Xueqin!"

"Zhou Shen, why are you participating too?" Li Xueqin asked in a strong Northeastern accent.

She was somewhat surprised when she saw Li Shen through the car window. She waved and greeted him, "Hello, Teacher Li Shen."

"Hello there."

Zhou Shen had already opened the car door and gestured for Li Xueqin to sit in the passenger seat: "Li Xueqin, you have long legs, you sit in the passenger seat."

This is a joke by Li Shen, which Zhou Shen cleverly adapted.

Zhou Shen needs to escape the passenger seat quickly and reasonably!

Li Xueqin looked down at her short legs; they weren't long, but they were quite thick.

She waved her hand: "No need, no need."

"No, you use it! Ladies first."

"Okay, I'll put my goose in the trunk first."

"Get in the car first, I'll help you!"

boom!

Zhou Shen closed the passenger door, picked up the goose and suitcase, and ran quickly to the trunk.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Li Xueqin looked at Zhou Shen in the rearview mirror, somewhat puzzled: "So eager? Is he a chosen one for doing the work?"

Compared to Zhou Shen, Li Xueqin was more outgoing, although she was not a human being in essence.

Li Xueqin took the initiative to chat with Li Shen for a few minutes.

"Teacher Li, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Nice to meet you."

"What has Mr. Li been busy with lately since 'Goodbye Lover' ended?"

"I'm busy making myself better, so I can be worthy of the title of 'teacher' you speak of," said Ms. Li Xueqin.

Li Xueqin's eyes lit up: "I understand, I understand. Then let's not stand on ceremony and call each other by our first names."

Li Shen hummed in agreement and restarted navigation.

Li Xueqin glanced at the car's interior, preparing for a soft advertisement.

Soft advertising is a necessary segment in almost all variety shows. It uses praise from guests to promote the products of sponsors.

Looking at the giant screen, Li Xueqin exclaimed, "Wow, it's so high-tech!"

Zhou Shen opened the car door, sat in the back seat, and let out a breath.

Once he sat in the back, he wasn't so nervous or embarrassed anymore; he relaxed completely.

Li Xueqin looked at Li Shen: "Li Shen, how is the driving experience of this car?"

Zhou Shen, who had just relaxed, felt his heart jump again after hearing Li Xueqin's words.

Li Shen's objective evaluation: "I think the acceleration is very fast and smooth, just like..."

Li Shen was about to praise the car's advantages when the assistant director outside the car suddenly interrupted, "Teacher Li, please don't comment. The car dealer just specifically instructed us not to give any more comments."

Li Xueqin looked at the assistant director in confusion: "Why?"

Sun Yuan gave a few awkward laughs.

Li Shen said, "They don't want my opinion, they want yours."

Li Xueqin was completely bewildered and turned to look at Zhou Shen.

Zhou Shen silently avoided her gaze.

The car started again, heading towards its next destination.

After Li Xueqin got into the car, the atmosphere inside finally became a little more lively.

Li Xueqin and Zhou Shen were old acquaintances and had a lot to talk about.

She would occasionally turn around to chat with Zhou Shen, and sometimes she would also mention Li Shen.

Li Shen focused on driving the whole time. When the topic came up, he would respond briefly but did not actively participate in their conversation.

Quiet, aloof, and accustomed to listening silently, rarely initiating conversations, these have always been Li Shen's personality traits, especially when facing strangers.

But in Li Xueqin's eyes, the man beside her was too cold, keeping everyone at arm's length, and like a hedgehog ready to pounce, never knowing when he would say something that would choke you.

She didn't feel comfortable sitting next to Li Shen either.

When the car was still a few dozen meters away from the destination on the navigation, the girl in the white dress waved happily at the car.

The car stopped, and everyone got out.

Meng Ziyi is a variety show star who is known to the public for her amazing singing skills and is one of the most popular young actresses.

Meng Ziyi was very cheerful and shook hands with everyone warmly.

After putting her suitcase away, she was about to sit in the back seat when Li Xueqin quickly grabbed her arm.

Meng Ziyi: "Huh?"

Li Xueqin: "Your legs are longer, so you'll be more comfortable sitting in the front."

Caught off guard by the compliment, Meng Ziyi looked down at her long legs, her face beaming with a smile: "Great! I have long legs, I'll sit in the front row! Hehe!"

Meng Ziyi is a very generous and outgoing girl. She is not shy or pretentious. She can boast about herself and make fun of herself. When she first debuted, she didn't have a good reputation among the general public, but because of her interesting personality, she has gained a good reputation in recent years.

She opened the car door and got into the passenger seat.

Li Xueqin, who had sat in the back row, and Zhou Shen exchanged a smile.

The Queen sat in the passenger seat next to Li Shen, a position that felt awkward and uncomfortable for both of them.

Let Sister Meng do it!

Meng Ziyi looked at Li Shen: "Who are we going to pick up now?"

Li Shen, navigating, said: "I don't know."

"Oh, Li Shen, I really like all your songs."

"If you like it, that's good."

"Especially that one, that one, uh—uh—what was the song title again?"

Li Shen's navigation completes: "Say a few lines of lyrics, and I'll tell you."

"Then I'll hum a few lines for you."

In the back row, Zhou Shen's eyes widened instantly. He leaned back, suddenly having a bad feeling.

Bullet comments:

Are we about to witness another iconic moment from Sister Meng?

[Sister Meng, don't sing! He's Li Gou, be careful he doesn't bite you.]

【Sister Meng, calm down!】

Don't sing, Li Gou has a sharp tongue!

Li Shen nodded: "Okay."

Meng Ziyi pondered the melody: "Separated by time and space, it's not just a long and arduous journey; entwined by affection, it's not just long, flowing hair~"

Li Shen glanced at her in surprise.

I must say, Meng Ziyi has a really good voice!

As for her amazing singing skills, let me describe it this way: she has rhythm, a good voice; she has control, a good voice; she has infectiousness, a good voice—she has a perfect pitch.

Meng Ziyi sang a few lines and then asked for praise: "Li Shen, how did I sing?"

"Very unique."

"What's the name of this song again?"

Li Shen frowned: "I don't know, this is the first time I've heard of it!"

"Huh? It's clearly your song."

Li Shen shook his head repeatedly, refusing to claim it.

Li Xueqin teased, "Li Shen, don't be angry that Meng Ziyi sang like this."

"It's not my song, why should I be angry?"

Meng Ziyi tilted her head and looked at Li Shen: "Did I sing badly?"

Li Shen smiled and continued driving.

At the final stop of their journey, Li Shen met the famous actor Lei Jiayin.

Lei Jiayin is a talented actor, 42 years old this year. He occasionally appears on variety shows, but mainly focuses on film and television dramas.

In the film and television industry, he has had very good resources in recent years, and the scripts he has received have generally been quite good.

In recent months, Lei Jiayin has been busy filming, putting all his energy into his new drama.

Therefore, when he saw Li Shen, he didn't recognize him at all.

He had never met Li Shen in the entertainment industry.

As soon as I got into the car, his first question was, "Excuse me, brother, what do you do for a living?"

Meng Ziyi turned around and looked at Lei Jiayin in surprise: "Brother Lei, you don't know him? He's been incredibly popular these past few months."

Lei Jiayin shook her head: "Sorry, I've been basically offline for the past few months."

Meng Ziyi: "Then guess what industry he works in?"

Lei Jiayin glanced at Li Shen's profile and estimated his height: "A model?"

This is an unfamiliar circle for him; he might be one of the lucky ones to become famous outside of the modeling world.

Everyone laughed.

"Huh? Isn't that right? Is that an actor?"

The crowd shook their heads.

Lei Jiayin asked in confusion, "A singer?"

Meng Ziyi: "Yes, songs like 'Slowly' and 'Resentful Heaven for Changing Its Heart' are all his songs."

"Oh~"

"Never heard of it?"

Lei Jiayin shook her head.

"He is also a poet."

"6

"poet?"

"Yes! He's also a playwright!"

"playwright?"

"right."

Lei Jiayin had originally planned to check Li Shen's information later, but when he heard about Li Shen's many titles, he couldn't help but immediately take out his phone and open a search engine.

When Lei Jiayin learned that Li Shen was the screenwriter of "A Grain of Dust," he was filled with respect, but also deeply puzzled.

The film "A Grain of Dust" holds the record for the highest-grossing art film in mainland China, and is a shining gem in film history in terms of both critical acclaim and box office success.

But the screenwriter of this work is so young?

As the car stopped at the red light, Lei Jiayin extended her hand to Li Shen: "My apologies! I never imagined that the author of 'A Grain of Dust' was so young. May I ask, how old were you when you wrote 'A Grain of Dust'?"

"I was 18, my senior year of high school."

Lei Jiayin nodded with admiration.

Another chill!

However, Hanhan has been famous since childhood. But Li Shen is too low-key.

Lei Jiayin continued reading Li Shen's information and asked, "I saw your fans gave you the nickname 'Dog Brother.' Why is it called 'Dog Brother'?"

The three people in the car, Li Xueqin, Zhou Shen, and Meng Ziyi, were silenced for a moment.

Li Shen tapped his fingers on the steering wheel: "Perhaps it's their praise and love for me."

Lei Jiayin: "So, can we call you 'Brother Dog' normally?"

Li Shen: "Try making a sound!"

Zhou Shen's scalp tingled: Oh no, Li Gou is angry.

Li Xueqin was also stunned.

The atmosphere inside the car instantly froze.

The entire live chat became awkward and tense.

Who on the entire internet doesn't know Li Shen's temper?

The biggest difference between Li Shen and other artists is that he has no emotional control; if he is uncomfortable, he will express it directly.

[Oh no, Li Gou is unhappy!]

Lei Jiayin, you've gotten yourself into trouble!

[Hey ex-husband, don't think he won't criticize you just because you're a senior figure. He criticizes even the sponsors!]

[What an incredibly awkward scene!]

Lei Jiayin was looking down at her phone, not paying attention to the situation inside the carriage. Her attention was focused on the content on her phone, and she didn't realize that the atmosphere had suddenly become icy.

He continued scrolling through Li Shen's messages and casually said, "Hello, Brother Gou."

Zhou Shen: "!!!"

Li Xueqin: "!!!"

Meng Ziyi silently leaned her shoulder against the car door, trying to stay as far away from Li Shen as possible from his soon-to-be-sharp-tongued mode.

Li Shen: "Woof woof!"

Zhou Shen: "???"

Li Xueqin: "???"

Lei Jiayin looked up and chuckled, "Haha, brother, you're hilarious."

Meng Ziyi looked at Li Shen in surprise, and tentatively asked, "Brother Gou?"

Li Shen looked at her and said, "Woof woof."

"Pfft!" Meng Ziyi burst into laughter.

Li Shen turned to look at Zhou Shen.

Zhou Shen hesitated for a moment: "Dog... Brother Dog!"

"Woof woof."

Zhou Shen clutched his chest, feeling a warmth spreading through him.

Li Xueqin laughed until her eyes disappeared: "Brother Gou, the light's green, let's go!"

When Li Shen himself made a joke about himself, the atmosphere in the carriage instantly thawed.

The feeling of isolation between him and everyone else vanished instantly.

The initially chilly atmosphere in the carriage quickly warmed up.

Everyone suddenly realized that Li Shen was not an unapproachable person.

Beneath his stern and aloof exterior lies a surprisingly interesting person who enjoys making others happy.

Moreover, although Li Shen has a sharp tongue, he doesn't just criticize people randomly; his sharp remarks are always things that make the public unhappy.

[I suddenly feel so close to Dog Bro!]

[Dog Bro's single "Woof woof" shattered the barrier between him and everyone else!]

A simple "woof woof" is more effective than a hundred words in building rapport.

[Another iconic scene from a variety show!]

[Besides being serious and sarcastic, he actually has a warm side!]

[With this show, I need to re-evaluate Dog Bro.]

As the car entered Taoyuan Village and arrived at the entrance of a huge courtyard, the four people got out of the car, and Li Shen drove the car to an open space in the distance.

Li Xueqin and Zhou Shen whispered to each other: "Li Shen thinks differently from me."

"I initially thought he was quite cold, but his 'woof woof' just now warmed my heart."

Meng Ziyi joined the discussion: "I used to think it would be quite difficult to become friends with him, but now I've changed my mind a bit."

Lei Jiayin: "Is it difficult? Apart from being quiet, is he alright?"

Zhou Shen: "Brother Lei, I strongly suggest you binge-watch 'Goodbye Lovers'!"

When Li Shen entered the courtyard, he was overwhelmed by the sight of so many entertainers. It was rare for a variety show to invite so many.

-

A celebrity.

Lang Lang, Gina, and Wang Sulong were the first three people he had met.

He had already met Zhou Jie and Guo Qilin when they were filming a promotional video in Changsha.

Zhang Ruonan also participated in this program.

Just as Zhang Ruonan was about to greet him, Li Shen, fearing she was about to start babbling again, quickly said, "Zhang Ruonan, watch your tone, or I'll fly right now!"

Zhang Ruonan smiled knowingly.

To Li Shen's surprise, Huang Xiaoyun was also a guest.

However, Huang Xiaoyun was not as at ease as other artists. She seemed flustered and nervous in her every move, and she was very cautious in her actions and words.

In this life, she is still a newcomer in the music industry. Among all the stars, her fame and status are at the very bottom tier.

The backbone and matriarch of this program is Song Dandan, a famous actress who is 65 years old this year.

She gave Li Shen a very warm hug.

Song Dandan patted Li Shen on the shoulder: "Kid, I've heard about you. You seem to be doing quite well, not at all like the fierce monster people say you are, right?"

Everyone wore faint smiles, unsure how to respond to Song Dandan's words, and fell into a collective silence.

However, Zhou Shen immediately replied, "Yes!"

Li Xueqin smiled and said, "It's fine."

Suddenly, the roar of a sports car came from outside the door.

All eyes were drawn to the pink sports car outside the gate.
