How Did the Top-Tier Male Lead Fall in Love With Me? 45p1

Chapter 45 Part 1

In the president’s office of M+ Entertainment, for a few dozen seconds, it was as if time had stood still.

“Ahem,” Meng Zhenshen coughed dryly twice. “Then… there’s nothing else. You guys go and do what you need to do. I’ll be going now.”

He then remembered to take the tangerine peel Shen Wu had given him.

He had come to M+ Entertainment to find Meng Huaizhi, naturally for the sake of the two children’s marital happiness, but he had not expected that it was all a misunderstanding, and had instead pushed himself into such an awkward situation.

The dignified Chairman Meng had his pride. When he realized something was wrong, he turned and left.

Shen Wu quickly followed, “Grandpa, let me see you off.”

“I remember you guys are going to film the show tomorrow, right? I’ll watch the live broadcast then,” Meng Zhenshen turned around, patted Shen Wu’s shoulder, and said solemnly, “You two go to bed early tonight and rest well.”

He added at the end, “Take care of your health, especially you.”

Shen Wu: “…” He’s not even living with Meng Huaizhi. What is Grandpa thinking?

No, no, Grandpa didn’t say anything. What am I thinking!?

Shen Wu had complained in his heart countless times: Meng Huaizhi! You’re done for! You’re going to have to chase your wife to the crematorium!

However, the tables had turned, and it was he who was retreating. He shouted in his heart: What’s coming can’t be avoided. I have to be on a variety show with Meng Huaizhi again…

No matter how reluctant he was in his heart, the contract he had signed had to be honored. The filming of the third episode of Wonderful Adventure was about to begin.

This episode was a New Year’s special. The show’s team had generously booked a small amusement park, which was only open to a few guests.

“Today is a New Year’s special project, the Miu Miu Amusement Park Treasure Race,” Fang Ci introduced. “In this Miu Miu Amusement Park, there are many different types of treasures hidden for you to find. Of course, there are also various amusement park rides. If you complete the corresponding tasks, you might get a special reward~

“The treasures have price tags attached, with high and low prices. In the Miu Miu store, you can buy and sell goods. And between the players, private exchange, snatching, and buying and selling of treasures are all allowed.

“Every ninety minutes, the broadcast will announce the ranking of the total value of the treasures held by everyone. After four hours, the game will end. The two people with the highest total value of treasures will win and will receive a special reward from us.”

After Fang Ci finished his introduction, he smiled and waited for the feedback from the six guests.

“Two people?” Lin Yanran was the first to notice a key point and murmured to herself, “…Isn’t this encouraging us to form groups?”

The audience in the live broadcast room also reacted quickly.

[I get it. It’s a two-person group like the first episode. A bit interesting.]

[LMAO, Yanran, why are you looking at our Wuwu and Huai-ge with that kind of look?]

Meng Huaizhi also raised a question, “How do we buy and sell treasures?”

“You can sell treasures to the staff of the Miu Miu store in exchange for an equal amount of gold coins,” Fang Ci said. “As for the buying and selling between you, as long as one is willing to buy and the other is willing to sell, there are no restrictions.”

Shen Wu asked, “If we sell the treasures to the store, how will the final score be calculated?”

“Only the total value of the treasures will be counted, not the gold coins,” Fang Ci continued to introduce. “You need to collect and protect the treasures. The higher the total value, the better.”

“I get it!” Nan Dengwei guessed from the side. “Wu-ge, I guess we might have to spend money in the amusement park. For example, like the Ferris wheel, just like a normal amusement park, you have to spend money to play, and then you can get a reward.”

Xia Fanxing nodded repeatedly. Using his not-so-flexible brain, he thought of a different possibility, “The money we get from selling treasures, can we take it with us?”

Fang Ci smiled and nodded, “That’s right.”

The bullet screen was also digging deep into the rules.

[Why is the show’s team so generous? I have a feeling there’s some kind of conspiracy.]

[We’ll know when the game starts. Director Fang, you’d better be careful. Don’t get trapped by the rules you set yourself, hahaha.]

[Director Fang: I’ll just set a flag here.]

Among the six guests, only Liang Shu had not spoken. He thought for a moment and asked on behalf of Lin Yanran, “There shouldn’t be any horror elements this time, right?”

“That’s not for sure,” Fang Ci said mysteriously. “By the way, there’s also a mysterious guest hidden in the amusement park. If you succeed in finding him, you might get a special reward!

“If everyone has no other questions, please come and get a phone now, so that you can contact each other in the amusement park. Then, the New Year’s special, the Miu Miu Amusement Park Treasure Race, officially begins—”

As Fang Ci’s voice fell, the six of them rushed out.

This time, the task was to find treasures, first come, first served. Not only was it not suitable for sharing, but it also needed to be hidden.

The six of them fought for themselves, and the live broadcast room was also divided into six.

Shen Wu naturally walked with Meng Huaizhi. After walking a certain distance, he said, “Teacher Meng, let’s split up to find treasures? We’ll search different places.”

Meng Huaizhi nodded. Seeing a map of the amusement park on a sign by the road, he quickly called Shen Wu over to look at it together. “Then I’ll take the left path, you take the right, and then we’ll meet at this small square?”

The two paths Meng Huaizhi pointed to were two of the N forks of the main road, only occupying a small corner of the lower right corner of the amusement park map.

The two forks separated in front of them and intersected again at the small square.

Meng Huaizhi clearly did not want to part ways with Shen Wu and had stingily circled such a small area. He then reminded him, “Whether you find anything or not, we’ll meet up in about fifteen minutes. Call me if you have any problems.”

Shen Wu nodded in agreement.

However, the audience in the live broadcast room always had an unexpected point of observation.

[Huai-ge: Fifteen minutes is the longest I can accept being separated from Wuwu.]

[Hahaha, LMAO, sister, your ID is so familiar. Are you the legendary Huai-ge’s mouthpiece?]

[This splitting up is probably just for show. If you stand a little higher, you can see the other side through the bushes, right?]

Before they separated, Meng Huaizhi reminded him again, “There’s no hurry. It’s okay if you can’t find anything. Those treasures are probably not easy to find, otherwise they wouldn’t have given us five hours.”

“Okay, then I’m off?”

“Mm, fifteen minutes.”

“Okay.”

The two of them were playing a game in the show, splitting up, but it seemed more reluctant than a couple ending a date.

The audience in the small live broadcast rooms naturally split up, and it was a little quieter than before.

Shen Wu, who was acting alone, also did not say a word and focused on searching for treasures.

“Eh?” As he was walking, Shen Wu suddenly exclaimed.

He quickly covered his mouth, looked left and right, and after confirming that there was no one else nearby, he carefully bent down and approached the bushes in front of him.

Among the smooth and glossy branches and leaves, a small section of a fluffy tail was sticking out.

The bullet screen was also curious.

[Eh? Is there a cat?]

[LMAO, what is Wuwu doing so sneakily? Catching a cat? Do you still remember that you’re here to find treasures?]

[I tricked you, you little fool. That should be a treasure, a simulated cat tail.]

The cat tail only showed a fluffy gray-blue section. At first glance, it was no different from a real cat tail. Even Shen Wu on the scene was almost tricked.

But the cat tail did not move for a long time. Shen Wu was sure of his judgment and reached out to pull it.

He successfully pulled out the fake cat tail, but he was dumbfounded, looking at the one-meter-long plush tail in his hand, at a loss.

“This…” he murmured to himself, “others can see it from ten meters away and come and snatch it, right?”

No wonder Fang Ci would allow snatching treasures. Finding a treasure was equivalent to becoming a living target, and the game still had a full five hours.

Shen Wu turned the cat tail over. On the head of the tail was a black strap with a buckle, like the belt of a military training uniform, which could be tied around the waist.

While Shen Wu was focused on studying the cat tail, the bullet screen’s car was already speeding on the highway.

[Hurry up and put it on. I want to see cat tail Wuwu!]

[Why isn’t it a plug-in cat tail? Disappointed.]

[Ahhhhhh, shut up!]

[There’s no such thing in an amusement park!! You unclean people!!]

There was also a tag hanging on the black strap, which should be the price tag Wen Qiehua had mentioned—[Cat Tail: 200 yuan].

Shen Wu was taken aback for a moment, thinking that this cat tail was quite valuable. He had to protect it and not let others snatch it.

He thought for a moment, unzipped his jacket, and tied the belt on his base layer shirt.

With the jacket as a cover, it would not be easy for others to snatch it, and they would not be able to see the price tag.

While he was seriously playing the game, the bullet screen was already screaming.

[Ahhhhhh, the cat tail is so cute.]

[So cute, ahhhhhh.]

[Huai-ge, come and see your cat, ahhhhhh.]

[Where’s Huai-ge?? If you don’t want your cat, I’ll take it!]

Shen Wu was completely unaware and continued to search for treasures.

The two sides of the path he was on were all bushes. The show’s team could not have hidden the treasures deep in the bushes, so a quick scan was enough.

He did not find a second treasure and quickened his pace, jogging to the fountain square to meet up with Meng Huaizhi.

Meng Huaizhi arrived two or three minutes later than him. When he saw him from a distance, he suddenly paused.

Shen Wu greeted him naturally, “Huaizhi-ge, come here.”

Meng Huaizhi walked over silently, his gaze unable to move away from the cat tail behind him. “…What’s this?”

“Huh?” The cat tail didn’t feel like anything on his back. Shen Wu had almost forgotten about it. He reached out and touched it to remember, and then replied with a pointless remark, “A cat tail.”

Seeing Meng Huaizhi’s strange and silent expression, Shen Wu belatedly felt a hint of shame. This kind of thing was usually played with by children.

He quickly said, “This is a treasure. It’s not easy to carry, and I’m afraid it will be snatched, so I tied it to my body.”

Shen Wu then lifted his jacket to show Meng Huaizhi the price tag with “200 yuan” written on it.

Meng Huaizhi: “…”

His eyes darkened and darkened. It was only after Shen Wu had turned around and hidden his tail that he returned to normal.

Shen Wu suddenly pointed and said about another discovery of his, “Look, there’s a bicycle there.”

Shen Wu was pointing at a lawn not far away. At the junction of the lawn and the woods, a bicycle was lying on its side.
