A Top-Tier Life Begins with Sarcastic Phrases

Merlin turned to look at Gu Yun and said disdainfully, "Teacher Huang ate too. See, we're all fine, unlike some people who are always spouting conspiracy theories!"

Gu Yun didn't have time to pay attention to her; instead, he went to check the situation with the staff.

"Hey, why are you running? Gu Yun, are you embarrassed and afraid to show your face in front of the camera? Hehe~"

Merlin laughed triumphantly, a laugh like a witch trying to poison a princess. Turning back to get more food, she looked bewildered: "Why are there four pots here?"

Yang Zi was equally confused: "Huh? Am I seeing things? When did this pot turn into four?"

"That's fucking food poisoning!"

Panting heavily, Gu Yun, who had run all the way from the manor restaurant, said, "Quick, help get these people to the hospital, they have food poisoning!"

"Oh? Quick, call 120!"

He Ling also realized something was wrong, because Ding Zhen and Zhang Xiaoxiao, who were the first to "test the poison," were already foaming at the mouth!

Ding Zhen: Glug glug~ (Ah yes, yes, delicious!)

Zhang Xiaoxiao: Glug glug glug~ (This dish is so fancy!)

"Quick! Get Xiao Li and the others to drive her to the hospital right away!"

Under Wang Hailong's command, the situation was quickly brought under control, and Huang Xiaochu, Ding Zhen, Zhang Xiaoxiao, and others were helped into the car.

"Director Wang, take this with you. It's the broth from the pot they ate from; it should be useful."

Before Wang Hai got into the car, Gu Yun stuffed the sealed plastic box containing the sample into his hand:

"Director, don't worry too much. I just asked the staff in the cafeteria, and she said the mushrooms they give us aren't very poisonous, so we'll be fine."

Wang Hai breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Gu Yun gratefully: "Little Gu, you really helped a lot."

Having a sample would make it much easier for doctors to find the cause of poisoning.

Gu Yun, the tour guide, was a huge help today!

Gu Yun humbly replied, "Of course, Director Wang. Let's take them to the hospital first, and we'll talk about it when they get back."

Buzz!

The car started and sped away.

The live stream is still running, and the chat is flooded with comments.

【? ? ? 】

[Holy crap, did this really cause an illness?]

Try it and you'll die!

[666, Breaking Bad player delivers a consistent performance, trading one for five, an incredible pentakill, this is truly amazing!]

[Old Yun kept saying we couldn't eat this, but nobody listened. Now look what's happened, everything's gone wrong, hasn't it?]

Seriously, Chef Huang really needs to kowtow to Gu Yun, otherwise, given Ding Zhen and Zhang Xiaoxiao's situation, things might really get messy.

[That sly young chef Huang keeps urging everyone else to eat, but he doesn't touch a single bite himself.]

[Chef Huang: After being a "chef" for so many years, I can tell whether something is poisonous just by tasting it.]

[This director, is he really just letting Huang Lei do whatever he wants?]

……

"well……"

In the hospital corridor, Wang Hailong looked at the comments in the live stream and smiled helplessly.

He really didn't expect this to happen.

He thought that Huang Xiaochu's cooking skills might not be as good as Jia Bing's, but they wouldn't be too bad either. Surely he wouldn't be so ignorant of common sense?

As a result, Chef Huang really did poop a huge mess!

Fortunately, Gu Yun had prepared samples, and the hospital quickly prescribed the right medicine. Huang Xiaochu, Jia Naliang, and the others who ate less were already fine.

Ding Zhen and Zhang Xiaoxiao, who ate the most, are still on IV drips, but they are fine.

However, while the person was fine, Wang Hailong had plenty to do.

He not only has to deal with various public opinions, but also give an explanation to the investor Tencent, the guest's agent, and their family.

In just half an hour, Wang Hailong held three online meetings with the person in charge at Tencent, and there was another one in ten minutes.

An investment of over 200 million yuan is no small sum, even for a well-funded company like Tencent Video!

If something really goes wrong, Wang Hailong's credibility with Tencent Video will be greatly diminished.

It's worth noting that Wang Hailong's most notable works, "Let's Go!" 1 and 2, were both collaborations with Tencent Video.

If Tencent Video refuses to cooperate, Wang Hailong will suffer huge losses!

"Director, we have explained the situation of all the guests to their agents and families. Teacher Huang's agent has offered to compensate the other guests."

The assistant reported the results of the discussion with the guest's agent in a very serious manner.

"Is there anything else?"

"Yes! Teacher Gu's agent replied, saying that Teacher Gu's schedule is all free, and we can discuss cooperation anytime."

"Then I'll leave this matter to you to handle. Once the first episode of the show is finished being recorded here, Gu Yun will come with me to record another episode immediately."

Wang Hailong rubbed his stiff face. "Fifty thousand per episode."

Normally, a third-tier celebrity who isn't a top star would only earn around 300,000 yuan per episode, so paying Gu Yun 500,000 yuan is quite high!

The assistant was somewhat surprised, but considering Gu Yun's performance today, he also felt that Gu Yun was worth the price.

The production team said they were fine.

Upon receiving the message from the production team, He Ling immediately shared it with Gu Yun and Tian Xiwei, who were beside her: "Teacher Huang said he almost vomited bile."

"Eek, how scary!"

Tian Xi patted her bulging chest and said thankfully, "Thank goodness, we didn't eat the broth from that hot pot."

He Ling nodded in agreement: "Really, it's all thanks to Xiao Gu. Good heavens, I really couldn't have endured that kind of ordeal."

"I also saw it online, saying that in Yunnan, you can't eat mushroom hot pot unless the staff tells you to."

Gu Yun explained.

After learning that Huang Xiaochu and the others were alright, Gu Yun, Tian Xiwei, and He Ling gathered around another large pot to eat.

"Wow, this mushroom is delicious!"

Xiao Tian was starving, and the moment the mushroom entered his mouth, his big eyes lit up.

Gu Yun: "Eat less of those mushrooms, they're poisonous."

Xiao Tian's mouth was bulging with the mushrooms Gu Yun had mentioned, and her big eyes visibly showed panic: "Ugh! Really? Or not?"

He Ling laughed and said, "Little Gu was just kidding you. The staff just said that these are all edible and no longer poisonous."

"Ugh~ Gu Yun! You lied to me again! You're so mean, I'm ignoring you now, hmph!"

Tian Xi waved her fist at Gu Yun with a huff, then turned back to concentrate on eating.

During lunch break, the assistant Chen Momo excitedly approached Gu Yun: "Teacher Gu! Great news!!!"

"What good news?"

"My agent, Brother Huang, just called me and said that director Wang Hailong wants to invite you to record an episode of 【Let's Go Now 2】!"

"Five hundred thousand! Teacher Gu, you've struck it rich!"

Chen Momo was very excited. If Gu Yun gave her more gigs, her salary would increase significantly!

"Why didn't Brother Huang tell me? You're not lying to me, are you?"

Gu Yun was somewhat surprised.

Huang Ming is an agent at Orange Entertainment, managing seven artists, all of whom, like Gu Yun, were selected for Orange Entertainment's star-making program.

"Let's Go Now 2" is a Tencent Video S+ level outdoor reality show with an investment of over 100 million yuan!

The first season was a huge hit, with a Douban rating of 8.2.

The second season continued the momentum of the first season, generating a lot of online discussion and becoming one of the most popular variety shows right now!

You really can't get on such a popular variety show without connections, I never expected the production team to approach me.

"I couldn't get through to your phone, so Brother Huang contacted me."

Gu Yun then remembered that his phone was on silent while he was recording the show. When he turned it on, he found that Huang Ming had indeed been calling him nonstop!

Opening WeChat, the latest message Huang Ming sent him was a variety show participation contract from [Let's Go Now 2].
