Chapter 145 Lin x Variety Show
Chapter 145 Lin x Variety Show
Lin Yinchuan had been sitting in his practice room all day. There were draft papers scattered all over the floor, and the electronic keyboard in front of him was covered with notes he had scribbled on. He kept pressing the pen in frustration, making a clicking sound.
The agent walked in, saw his annoyed expression, and advised, "Yinchuan, take a break!"
Lin Yinchuan hummed in agreement, stood up from his chair as instructed, and sat down next to his manager.
"How are you? Still no inspiration?" his agent asked with concern, noticing his furrowed brow.
Lin Yinchuan, unusually agitated, ran his hand through his hair. "No."
This was the first time he had gone so long without inspiration, unable to write notes or phrases; it was as if his musical talent had vanished all at once.
The manager opened his mouth, then held back the words of comfort, instead patting him on the shoulder and saying, "Don't put so much pressure on yourself. You've had quite a few songs since your debut, you should give others a chance to shine sometimes, right?"
Lin Yinchuan gave a wry smile. "But I can't write anything right now."
“It’s normal to lack inspiration! No one’s inspiration never runs dry. Don’t push yourself too hard.” The agent comforted him, “I know you want to have a place in Daqin Entertainment, but we’re new here after all. It’s not bad to observe for a while and be a nobody.”
Lin Yinchuan officially signed with Daqin Entertainment some time ago and became one of Daqin's artists. Previously, he was with Xingyao, which was a star-making factory that produced one idol after another. They were traffic stars, but their popularity was very superficial, which was not the path Lin Yinchuan wanted to take. So when the team disbanded and everyone went their separate ways, he went to another company, and now he has switched to Daqin Entertainment.
There's no other reason than that Lin Yinchuan wants to become a singer. Da Qin is doing quite well in variety shows and music, and he believes he can gain opportunities for growth and development here.
Lin Yinchuan nodded: "Then I'll listen to my brother."
His agent had been with him from the beginning; the two were in the same boat, and all his decisions were for his own good, which Lin Yinchuan could understand.
"However, Da Qin gave me a script for a variety show. Do you want to see if you're interested?" The agent said, "It's a variety show by Da Qin, and they prioritize their own artists. This variety show is new and it's a workplace show, so the audience might not be that wide. Some other artists didn't want to go on it, so they brought it to me. I think it's okay. What do you think?"
As he spoke, the agent handed him the notebook.
Lin Yinchuan reached out and took it, opened it and read it carefully. It was a brand new workplace variety show. In this show, he would act as an observer and comment on the contestants' performances, which required him to have rich knowledge and keen insight.
"The financial season?" Lin Yinchuan rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. "I don't understand!"
“Why would you need to know anything? There are experts who specialize in this. You just need to bring in viewers, be a newbie observer, ask questions on behalf of the audience, and occasionally create some entertainment value.” The agent said, “I think this is worth a try. There are many dating shows and slow-paced shows now, but workplace shows are still relatively novel. You can go and make your face known so that everyone knows what you’ve been up to lately.”
Lin Yinchuan closed his eyes and thought for a while, then opened them and said, "Alright, I'll go!"
"That's right! You should go and relax, broaden your horizons and open up your thinking. Maybe you'll find inspiration for a new song?"
Lin Yinchuan gave a wry smile: "It's not that simple."
“I won’t say much more, anyway, you’re a very stubborn person.” The agent took out his phone and typed rapidly: “Then I’ll talk to the executor over there and reserve an observer position for you.”
"Okay, thanks, bro!" "We're like brothers! Don't I rely on you for my livelihood?" The agent put all the relevant materials on the coffee table: "All the information about this program is in here. Take a look, and you won't be completely clueless."
"it is good."
"Then you stay here. I need to go to the other side to discuss your upcoming work arrangements."
After the agent left, Lin Yinchuan sat alone on the sofa and opened the documents he had left behind.
Inside was the program's schedule and information on the other observers. Lin Yinchuan silently memorized their faces and general information to avoid any awkwardness later.
There is information on the contestants, but only a few, perhaps because not enough suitable people have been selected yet!
He was lost in thought as he carefully examined the documents.

On this day, Jiang Lai started her live stream after a long time. People quickly came to the live stream room, and many of her old fans were surprised and left comments to tease her.
—So it keeps coming back to life, huh?
—Look who this is! Isn't this the streamer my grandma follows?
—It's so lively! (Image)
—It's so rare to see my wife doing a live stream. I thought she had given up being a streamer; she doesn't post videos much anymore.
—What's the theme today? I want to hear my wife sing and tell stories!
—I was wondering why you started your live stream before it even got dark. What's with this weird timing?
—The most handsome guy in the study area
—Yeah, there's not much data usage in the afternoon! Honey, why don't you try another time?
Jiang Lai waved to the camera, "Long time no see! Did you all miss me?"
—I missed you so much! (Roars, screams, monkeys swinging on vines)
—I miss you and long for you, but I wonder if you miss me too. It's been so long since we last met. I wonder which little vixen has bewitched you.
—The comment upstairs is brilliant!
Comments flooded in, and Jiang Lai smiled, "I received your messages of love, sending you all my love~ I missed you all too! That's why I came to see you."
"It's Thursday today, why aren't you guys in class or at work? I thought there wouldn't be many people, so I just did a short live stream!" Jiang Lai stroked her chin. "I can't slack off like this!"
—Where are the officials? Did the officials hear this? This streamer is trying to slack off!! Keep an eye on her and don't let her do anything half-hearted!
—How cruel of you! You used to be willing to stream properly, but now you're blatantly slacking off. Do you even care about us?!
—Whatever, I'll just imagine what life would be like with the streamer after the broadcast, hehehe, wife hehehe
—You, the baby upstairs...
Jiang Lai smiled slightly: "Alright, alright, I was just kidding! My roommates aren't in the dorm today, so I'm taking some time to do a live stream. It's been a while since I've seen everyone. How about this, everyone leave comments, I'll screenshot them, and I'll pick ten people for Crazy Thursday~~"
—Crazy Thursday can't convince me of your lie that you missed me, and that you've missed me for so long without showing up?
—Then I believe you.
—I convinced myself
—Even when she lies to me, she still loves me.
Pick me!!! I'm a college student, and I love Crazy Thursdays.

The comments section was even more lively than before. Jiang Lai took a screenshot, selected a few people, and asked them to contact her in the background before starting the live stream.
Jiang Lai tossed her hair, sat up straight, and began her businesslike greeting: "Hello everyone, welcome to today's casual chat live stream! I'm your old friend, and today's topic is—internship season and graduation season! This is also something I personally wanted to know, as I'd like to know how everyone is spending this period?"
Jiang Lai smiled as she watched the comments flash by.
—A ten-year loyal fan showing up uninvited. I stayed on at the company where I interned after graduation, and I'm doing pretty well now, except I often have to work overtime. Right now, I'm on the high-speed train working overtime.
—Time flies! I've actually watched the streamer go from a freshman to almost graduating?
—When I watched my sister's live stream, she was a high school student, and now she's a college student!
—I'm finally leaving university, I feel so excited!
—But I'm a little reluctant to give it up. Studying is more comfortable than working, right?
—The people in front are obviously students; any working professional wouldn't want to work anymore.
—I always felt this was a new beginning, a chance to say goodbye to my past self. When I went to university, I felt it was a new beginning, that I could have a better life. After graduation, I felt my university life was rather ordinary, and that only after graduation would I have a truly exciting life. But in reality, it seems that's not the case.
Jiang Lai turned on some soft instrumental music backstage and said, "Let's listen to some music and chat!"
"I'm currently a junior in college, and summer vacation has only just begun. I participated in a competition a while ago, and I only recently started submitting resumes to find internships. To be honest, I'm a little nervous."
—I did my internship last year. At first, I was really nervous and apprehensive, but I gradually got used to it, and then I started complaining about my work, the clients, and my boss.
—So, you just have to fight head-on?
—No, I was secretly cursing in my heart.
The comments section is buzzing again:
—I heard that internships are tough, is that true?
—Of course it's true! But if you find joy even in hardship, you'll gain a lot.
I think the most important thing about an internship is learning, not just working.
—This is typical student thinking. As an HR professional, I often hear college students looking for jobs say this: they don't care about anything else, their main focus is on their studies.
—College students are just cheap labor.
Jiang Lai chuckled softly: "I can see that those who haven't done their internships yet are very curious about internships and jobs, while those who have already started working are more resentful than ten evil sword immortals."
"Actually, this is all normal. People are curious about the unknown and things they haven't experienced before. In any case, it's good to have tried it." Jiang Lai continued, "I've also submitted some resumes and am waiting for people to contact me. But I have other options, so I'm not in a hurry. I don't have much to do lately, so I'll do a live stream for everyone."
—Isn't your wife planning to continue being a livestreamer and internet celebrity? Actually, it's very lucrative right now!
—Agreed, and relatively free.
—That's great, why am I not a beauty? Otherwise, I'd be a live streamer too.
—I think my wife could do any other job. Being a live streamer is a waste of her talents, isn't it?
—Let's learn about voice actors
Let's get to know some female celebrities.
—Let me know about my child's mother.
—A ghost has sneaked in from upstairs.
Jiang Lai feigned distress, "I haven't decided yet. Beauty fades and love wanes. If I'm not pretty anymore, will you still be willing to watch my videos and live streams?"
--willing!!
—Actually, it's quite difficult to categorize a streamer. Take a beauty streamer, for example. You're in the learning section, but you've definitely benefited from her looks. If it weren't for the fact that the streamer is a great beauty, who would watch a streamer in the learning section?
—Why not? I am...
—You'd better be
--Me too
Jiang Lai feigned sadness and said, "After knowing you for so long, is this face all I have to attract you? Can't you see my other shining qualities?"
—Oh, I'm a voice acting fan, Lai Lai could definitely do voice acting!
—Oh right, I almost forgot about that.
—Won't you consider entering the entertainment industry? Even if you're just a pretty face, I'd still watch you. The entertainment industry really needs beautiful women to cleanse our eyes.
—Actually, you could make a fortune first and then retire.
—A lifestyle broadcaster?
Jiang Lai was touched when she saw the fans in the comments who were seriously considering her needs. She said, "Hey, thank you everyone. I've seen all your suggestions and I'll consider them carefully."
"That's all for now regarding internships. Is there anything you'd like to discuss about graduation?"
Graduation season is breakup season, so touching.
—The guy upstairs has a story to tell.
—Thank you, it wasn't a story, it was an accident.
—Honey, you're about to graduate, have you started dating yet?
—The ID upstairs gave you away.
——Hahaha, Qu Su's family
Jiang Lai also saw the question and found it a bit funny. She said, "No, I'm still single. Men would only slow down my sword-drawing speed."
—The wise are not as good as the river of love.

—It's been a long time since we've seen Qu Su and the streamer together. You two look quite compatible. Why don't you do a live stream together after graduation, you could be a couple!
—? I won't allow it! My wife belongs to everyone!
Jiang Lai casually asked, "Does anyone know what Qu Su is doing right now?"
Qu Su is also busy with internships and job hunting, but it seems that a team contacted him before. I wonder if he will go into esports.
—To be honest, this is one way out, but it's also a job that only lasts a short time!
—It seems like SuSu himself is also hesitant. We fans want to see him continue playing games, but it ultimately depends on his own decision.
—Why are there so many fans of the Qu family here?
—You don't ship these two as a couple? Have you ever quit drugs?
"We've gone off-topic!" Seeing that the comments section had veered off-topic, Jiang Lai quickly steered them back on track.
They chatted until after 6 p.m., and some people in the comments urged Jiang Lai to go eat. Only then did Jiang Lai end the live stream, send red envelopes to the lucky fans in the background, chat for a few more minutes in the fan group, and then say that she was going offline to eat.
That evening, Jiang Lai received a message from Qin Yifan: How's your decision?
Jiang Lai thought for a moment and then typed a reply to her.
