Chapter 135 Lan Lan
Aside from the hosts of the Spring Festival Gala, Lan is arguably the most famous host of the past decade.
Whether it was her departure from CCTV, her hosting of her own talk show, or the sudden announcement of her marriage, every single thing she did was unexpected.
Her marriage, in particular, the union of her and her husband, shocked everyone at the time.
In particular, she claimed that she was with her husband because of love.
At the time, everyone thought she was after money.
Now that Third Master has said that, I understand. It wasn't about money at all.
Her husband, like Mei Yuting's husband, is just a facade.
The difference is that the man hosting the event in blue is wearing white gloves.
Mei Yuting's man doesn't even qualify to be a white glove.
"Third Master, what did they do?" I asked curiously.
"These two have developed rebellious intentions. Having stayed in Hong Kong for too long and been flattered, they think they're someone important. They've started playing the financial game, transferring money from one pocket to another, trying to become the capital themselves!"
Third Master scoffed and said, "Don't they even consider that they have the right to take that money?"
"Now that you're in a hurry, you'll see. This won't be over until you've been skinned alive!"
Years later, Zhao Jing'er also tried to play this financial game, but was later sanctioned.
Actually, these are all things that others have already done.
After returning from Third Master's place, my brother and I discussed it and decided that we could do what Third Master had instructed, but we wouldn't get involved, and we certainly wouldn't have any dealings with them.
"Crazy, we brothers need to prepare early. What Third Master is doing is getting increasingly dangerous!"
After they finished discussing it, Fatty Lin said this.
"Like I said before, we don't take on any jobs that harm people!" I said.
"We also need to keep in touch with Master Liu. He's one of our backup plans!" Fatty Lin added.
"right!"
I nodded.
Two days later, we met the host, Lan.
The host, Lan, is prettier and more intellectual than she appears on TV.
Facing the host, Aunt Xiao clearly lacked confidence, and her words and actions exuded the air of a nouveau riche.
In order to compete with the host, Aunt Xiao dressed herself up in dazzling jewelry, wishing she could take out all her jewels and hang them on her body.
In contrast, the host, Lan, was much more low-key. Her bespoke casual suit was just right, showing both her intellectual side and her dignified presence.
"Sister Lan, this is our own place, I just ordered a few simple dishes. See if there's anything else you'd like to eat, and I'll have them make it!"
After taking their seats, Aunt Xiao handed the menu to the host, Lan, and deliberately showed off the imperial green jadeite bracelet on her wrist.
"This is already quite a feast!"
Host Lan took the menu, glanced at Aunt Xiao's bracelet, and said, "Jinyu, your bracelet is really beautiful!"
Both in terms of tone and attitude, the host, Lan, appeared very sincere.
But her eyes were full of disdain.
"I fell in love with the Imperial Green jadeite from the Old Pit at first sight, a birthday gift from Third Master!" Xiao Jinyu laughed heartily, a smug look on his face.
I really want to cover my face right now; Aunt Xiao is so stupid.
"It's so beautiful!"
The host, Lan, said with a mixture of envy and jealousy.
"Right? I think it's beautiful too!"
Xiao Jinyu became increasingly happy.
I could tell that Host Lan wasn't pretending this time; she was genuinely envious and jealous. But I think she wasn't jealous of the imperial green bracelet, but rather of how someone as stupid as Aunt Xiao could have such a good life.
I keep my ears focused on my nose, my nose on my mouth, and my mouth on my heart. I don't talk much; I just listen and eat.
To be fair, Aunt Xiao may be foolish, but she remembered what Third Master told her. Throughout the whole event, apart from showing off her jewelry and son, and how good Third Master was to her, she didn't say a single other word.
Her foolish behavior left Host Lan feeling powerless.
The key point is that she now needs Aunt Xiao's help, so she doesn't dare to get angry or say a single barbed word.
"Jinyu, when does Third Master have time?"
As the meeting was about to end, the host, Lan, finally asked this question.
"I don't interfere in Third Master's work matters. If you don't believe me, ask Xiao Feng." Aunt Xiao passed the buck to me.
"Little Wind?"
The host, Lan, turned to look at me.
At the beginning of the dinner, Aunt Xiao praised the two of us brothers and Long Nier to the skies, saying that we were rare in heaven and earth. She praised me for saving her son and Lin Pangzi for saving her nephew and discovering the three tombs.
Throughout the entire event, all they did was praise us for the jewelry. The host, Lan, tried to interject several times but couldn't find a chance.
Everyone says Aunt Xiao is stupid, but looking at it this way, she's not actually that stupid.
"Sister Lan, Third Master has been very busy lately, traveling back and forth between Jiangnan and Hedong. I don't know exactly when he'll be back!" I said.
"oh!"
The host, Lan, looked somewhat disappointed and managed a forced smile.
Her husband didn't say anything; throughout the entire dinner, he mostly asked Fatty Lin for advice on metaphysical knowledge.
After chatting for a while, seeing that they couldn't get any more information, the host and his wife said goodbye and left.
"Tch, she's not even a mistress, yet she dares to look down on me. Girl, look at that pretentious Blue Bitch, everyone in the circle knows what she's like!"
As soon as the host, Lan, stepped out, Aunt Xiao spat.
"Sister, don't stoop to her level!" Long Nier advised.
"I'm not going to stoop to her level!"
Aunt Xiao snorted and said, "Xiao Feng, Xiao Lin, let me tell you, all those TV hosts are so arrogant and look down on us people in the entertainment industry!"
"What's there for them to be proud of? They all act like they're someone important. Every one of them has been on the Bai Fang Tu pageant, but don't they all have to wait for those big shots to choose them?"
"In the end, she's nothing but a whore!"
That's absolutely true.
As for what the "Hundred Flowers Painting" is?
Someone compiled these TV hosts into a catalog, listing their family backgrounds, educational backgrounds, and other information, and showed it to some CEOs and their descendants so that they could choose and select from the available options.
The better ones can marry the CEO's descendant and become kept women.
Those who are less fortunate, like the host Lan, are assigned to a pretext and have no say in their own lives.
Of course, participating in Bai Fang Pu is entirely voluntary. If you don't want to participate, no one will force you. But there's one thing: once you participate, you can't back out.
The advantages and disadvantages are both obvious.
Take Host Lan for example. If she hadn't followed that CEO, she wouldn't have had such a meteoric rise in resources, nor would she have achieved her current status.
The mistake of the host is that he has been flattered so much in Hong Kong that he thinks he is someone of high status, can't distinguish between the big and small, and doesn't know how he got his current status!
She and her husband donated 51% of the group's equity to the foundation they founded. Isn't that an act of rebellion?
How could the big boss possibly let her get away with doing something like that?
