Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback! - Chapter 65

Chapter 65: Chapter 65: Jiang Li Missing?!

Several minutes later, the room remained silent.

The cameraman then discovered that Jiang Li’s door wasn’t properly shut, and he opened it with just a light push.

“Miss Jiang, sorry, but I’m coming in.”

However, once he turned on the lights, the room was empty.

The bed was already tidied up, and the bedding was neatly folded.

Only then did the audience in the live broadcast room realize what was going on.

Had Jiang Li actually gotten up early?!

How was that possible?!

[Hahahaha, Blackie just got slapped in the face, didn’t he? Our Lili is the most hardworking person in the entire cast!]

[Exactly, at the airport Sister Li was always the first to arrive, how could she still be asleep until now?]

[Maybe the production team woke her up early on purpose. After all, she has an image to maintain, let’s see if she can keep it up!]

After looking around and not finding Jiang Li, the cameraman had no choice but to join another one in pointing the camera where Jiang Yan was sleeping.

Thus, Jiang Yan’s 3D surround sound snoring filled the live broadcast room.

[Ahhh, I can’t take it anymore, why is Jiang Yan still snoring!]

[Lili, come out quickly, we want to see a fairy, not some dandy young master dreaming and snoring.]

[To be fair, Jiang Yan’s looks really hold up, even sleeping like that, he’s still so handsome.]

By the time the other guests were all dressed up and ready to think about breakfast, Jiang Yan was still lost in deep sleep.

Wen Jiaojiao had originally not wanted to get up, but the presence of the camera meant she had to tidy herself up.

At the very least, she couldn’t wake up later than that Jiang Li!

Yesterday, Jiang Li had already stolen so much limelight; today, Wen Jiaojiao was determined to snatch it back no matter what!

So, although the production team had taken away the makeup, Wen Jiaojiao still rummaged through her suitcase and selected several outfits to spiff herself up with.

On the other side, Shu Yan wrapped herself in a bedsheet from head to toe, showing only a pair of eyes behind sunglasses, and rushed with the cameraman to the studio.

“Director, please, give me back my makeup. I really can’t go on without it.”

Director Sun and several assistant directors were stunned.

They hadn’t expected Shu Yan to personally seek them out just for the makeup.

After a cough, Director Sun put down his soy milk.

“Well, Shu, didn’t we agree on the rules of the show at the beginning? Items taken must be returned only after the live broadcast ends.”

“Besides, this is a transformation reality show, not a talent competition. Why do you need makeup?”

Shu Yan’s hand had already grasped Director Sun’s arm, “Director Sun, please, just this once, let it slide. Otherwise… can I trade something else as collateral?”

[Isn’t this a bit much, Shu Yan begging like that? Would she die without makeup?]

[Uh, I used to think she had a carefree personality, but now it seems, she’s not much different from Jiang Li and the others.]

[Seriously, these celebrities really need to transform themselves, they’re all so pretentious.]

Because Shu Yan insisted so much and Director Sun didn’t want to delay the live broadcast, he had no choice but to ask the staff to retrieve her makeup.

However, as a concession, she had to surrender all her other luggage, just like Jiang Yan did.

After hesitating for a moment, Shu Yan agreed and left with a box of cosmetics.

Director Sun shook his head and sighed.

“She’s not even ugly, why is she so afraid of being on camera without makeup?”

Unfortunately, by then the camera had already followed Shu Yan, and Director Sun’s comment did not make it into the live broadcast room.

Watching Jiang Yan still deep in slumber and Jiang Li nowhere to be found, Director Sun slapped the table with a headache.

“What’s the deal with these two? Where’s the on-site staff? Get Jiang Yan up for me, and send another two to look for Jiang Li–you better not tell me we’ve had an incident after just one day of filming.”

At the old man’s house.

Upon receiving Director Sun’s order, the staff placed a megaphone, supersized edition, next to Jiang Yan’s bed.

After setting it up, they discreetly retreated to the doorway and pressed the button in their hand.

The next second, a strong female soprano voice blared from the megaphone–

“We buy long hair, specialized in long hair, recycling old cell phones, exchange old phones for knives, for scissors…”

Instantly, Jiang Yan leaped from the bed, his face a picture of terror.

“Fuck his grandpa, who?!”

Not only that, thanks to the abundant mosquitoes on the Southwest Plateau’s summer nights, his face was riddled with several bites, and his right eye had swollen considerably.

He was still wearing the nightgown that Jiang Li had given him.

Gone was the image of the domineering rich young master, replaced by a weary, bedraggled youth of no particular style.

The live stream viewers were on the verge of madness with laughter.

“HAHAHAHAHA, the production team is on fire, taking him back to his childhood. Jiang Yan must have been scared to death.”

“Laughing my way to riches, AAH AAH AAH AAH, Jiang Yan’s dreams must be full of hair recycling tonight.”

“Poor young master, it feels like all the mosquitoes of Chixia Village went after him specifically, none of the others seem this bitten up.”

“The young master’s outfit is truly sexy, a fashion trend forecast for 2023.”

“I’m dying of laughter, those videos of Jiang Yan wearing a nightgown are circulating wildly on some platform, several big accounts made remix videos, and there’s even merch for sale on Taobao, I can’t even, I have to buy one!”

Seeing Jiang Yan fully awake now, an employee approached and said:

“Jiang Yan, it’s already seven thirty, you have half an hour to get ready and eat breakfast. We’re meeting at the village chief’s house gateway at eight.”

Jiang Yan’s head buzzed with noise.

Due to being unaccustomed to the bed, he had lain awake until past two in the morning to fall asleep.

He’d barely managed to find a trace of sleepiness when mosquitoes started their mischief.

It was only in the early morning that he finally fell into a peaceful slumber.

Yet, before he could indulge in a sweet dream, this life-threatening shakedown sounded in his ear.

His half-spent life almost flew away with the shouting!

So, Jiang Yan, with a face so dark it seemed about to drip, put on the ill-fitting slippers that the old man had prepared and stormed out to settle the score with Jiang Li.

But there was no sign of Jiang Li in the room.

Deprived of his target for revenge, all he could do was stand in the corridor, swearing to heaven and earth.

“Cracking up, how can the young master swear so much? Is there any part of the world he hasn’t cursed yet?”

“So low-class, why always swear? At least the neighbor Movie Emperor He Yun is more refined.”

“Drop it, He Yun’s just a poser. I think the young master’s down-to-earth style is refreshing, I like it.”

Exhausted from all the cursing, Jiang Yan had no choice but to go find something to clean up with.

The old man wasn’t there, but he had prepared everything for him, nonetheless.

A few minutes later, the live stream displayed a man wearing a nightgown, with sunglasses and holding an enamel mug.

Most crucially, the enamel mug was chipped.

Despite this, the man had an excellent body, and his temperament, cultivated from a young age through the influence of money, was exceptionally remarkable.

Even in these remote woods, there was an inherent air of luxury around him.

But now this luxurious vibe was disrupted by the incongruous outfit into something utterly chaotic, leaving a jarringly yet inexplicably harmonious impression.
