Because of his unfamiliarity with economic matters and the fact that this is a Korean entertainment novel that doesn't mix in too many other elements, the timeline will directly jump to 2005. From now on, Liu Zaitian's variety show journey is about to begin!

One day in May 2005, at Incheon International Airport.

"Dad, I understand. I've already arrived in Korea, so don't worry. Everything is fine. It's okay, it's okay; everything has been arranged. Bante will be here in a couple of days... I've already informed Dad and Mom Liu before coming. I'll be staying with them... I know, I know. I'll visit your old friends; I won't forget. Also, I've been preparing in Korea for more than two years, so don't worry about me being at a disadvantage here. Alright, alright, I'll come back to see you when I have time, I won't forget... Alright, I'll hang up now, bye!"

"Phew! Dad is really nagging." Liu Zaitian let out a light sigh, put his phone back in his pocket, and after slightly orienting himself, he started moving towards the exit.

Liu Zaitian left Korea in 1996 and returned in 2005, not coming back once in those nine years. However, he would call Liu Father, Liu Mother, and Liu Zaisi every month with a very long call and send them photos and other miscellaneous items.

So, although they hadn't seen each other for nine years, Liu Zaitian's current appearance was completely clear to them. Especially when they learned that Liu Zaitian was planning to return, they had already cleaned the room, ready for him to move in directly.

As for Liu Zaisi, with the popularity of "X-Man," he was now one of the three major mountains in the variety show industry, alongside Jiang Hudong and Jin Jidong, and was beginning to be called the National MC.

Similarly, as his fame grew, his performance fees naturally increased. He also knew that Liu Zaitian would eventually return to this family. At that time, no matter how close they had been in the past, it would no longer be appropriate for them to live in the same room in the old house. So, he used the money left by Liu Yu and the money he earned to buy two adjacent apartments on the same floor in a building in Seoul's Gangnam district.

One for himself, and one for his parents.

Pulling his suitcase out of the airport, Liu Zaitian's tall and handsome appearance attracted the attention of countless young girls along the way. However, Liu Zaitian, who was already used to this, had developed a certain immunity.

"Mom, I'm Zaitian. Where is our house now? What? Brother has already set out to pick me up? Alright, I'm already out of the airport, right at the entrance. Tell him to hurry up."

Putting his phone away again, knowing that his brother was already on his way to pick him up, he had to give up the idea of taking a taxi and could only wait patiently at the airport entrance.

Time slowly passed. Ten minutes went by, twenty minutes went by, and the figure Liu Zaitian was looking forward to still hadn't appeared.

"Brother, how long do you plan to make your little brother wait?"

Resentment began to grow, and Liu Zaitian's eyes gradually lost their focus. Bored from standing for a long time, he leaned against a pillar, his gaze aimlessly scanning the surroundings.

"Hmm, she's pretty, but her legs are a bit thick... This one is nice too, but only her figure is good, sad..."

Lost in his thoughts, time passed by.

Suddenly, a sudden scream focused Liu Zaitian's attention.

Following the direction of the scream, a tall and slender figure was seen waving and quickly walking towards Liu Zaitian's position.

Upon closer inspection, Liu Zaitian's originally expressionless face instantly broke into a big smile.

In an instant, a young girl who had been secretly watching Liu Zaitian for a long time blushed and her eyes became misty.

"Phew! Brother, you're finally here!"

With a radiant smile, Liu Zaitian straightened up, and his tall and handsome figure immediately caught the attention of Liu Zaisi, who was looking for him.

At this moment, for some reason, Liu Zaisi's figure suddenly paused. This was a figure he hadn't seen face-to-face for nine years. Although there were still traces of the original face, his height had changed dramatically, estimated to be at least 1.8 meters. This immediately put Liu Zaisi's mind at ease, as he had always been worried about Liu Zaitian's height. After a closer look, a big smile also appeared on Liu Zaisi's face.

He quickly moved forward and tightly embraced the figure he had been waiting for nine years.

"Welcome back, Zaitian!"

However, in the face of Liu Zaisi's excitement, although Liu Zaitian was also extremely excited, he noticed the increasing number of people around them and thought it would be better for them to leave first.

But Liu Zaisi didn't seem to notice the situation around him, so Liu Zaitian gently pushed him and whispered in his ear.

"Brother, let's talk in the car. If we stay here any longer, I'm afraid something big will happen."

Hearing Liu Zaitian's reminder, Liu Zaisi also noticed the situation around him. Seeing people taking photos with their phones, Liu Zaisi could only reluctantly let go of Liu Zaitian, bow to the crowd, and start moving towards the car with Liu Zaitian's luggage.

Fortunately, although Liu Zaisi was quite popular, as a well-known MC, he didn't have the same level of obsessive fans as idols, so the crowd didn't block his departure. However, some bold people took the opportunity to ask him while shaking his hand.

"Uncle Zaisi, who is this handsome brother?" This was a young girl.

"My brother!" Liu Zaisi immediately puffed out his chest and answered proudly.

"Uncle is lying, how can that be!" But in the face of Liu Zaisi's pride, the young girl's face clearly showed that she thought he was joking, making Liu Zaitian, who was following behind, laugh uncontrollably.

Walking down the road, seeing Liu Zaisi maintain his humble attitude even without cameras, and constantly fulfilling the small requests of the crowd, although it slightly delayed their time, Liu Zaitian didn't feel the least bit unhappy.

Putting the luggage in the trunk, Liu Zaitian sat in the front passenger seat, fastened his seatbelt, and Liu Zaisi, sitting in the driver's seat, started the car and headed towards Seoul, the largest city in Korea.

"Nine years without seeing each other, I didn't expect you to be so famous now, Brother!"

"It's all thanks to the love of the audience. Actually, I still have a lot to do!"

"Completely an official answer. But it seems that I owe a lot to the constant encouragement I gave you back then. Otherwise, how could you have achieved this?"

"Heh... You brat, you're really shameless. How old were you back then? Just a little kid, and you were comforting me. And now, Liu Zaitian, you've grown up, and you dare to talk to your brother like this. Didn't I teach you to use respectful language?"

"Tsk, Brother, you can only hold onto this. When we see Mom, I'll definitely tell her. Let her know that my dear brother left me at the airport for more than half an hour and then started scolding me as soon as we met..."

"Hey! Liu Zaitian..."
