Chapter 15

This person must be crazy, right? But he doesn’t look like it. Could he be very famous? It’s possible. To avoid hurting the other person’s self-esteem, Li Shenglin had to force himself to be patient, "I’m sorry, I lived abroad for many years and don’t watch TV much since returning, so... please forgive me!"

Understanding people's moods and expressions is a necessary skill for an excellent host. Despite the other person’s good cover, the impatience was still noticed. Realizing he had overthought it, Liu Zaishi, the good-natured man, felt very apologetic. He bowed and said sincerely, "I’m sorry, I disturbed you!"

In Korea, it’s almost impossible for a senior to bow to a junior. Therefore, Liu Zaishi’s heartfelt gesture earned him a lot of goodwill from Li Shenglin, who quickly returned the bow. However, with one hand holding diapers and the other supporting Xiao Huhu’s head, his slow bow made many viewers laugh.

Moreover, he gained many mom fans, truly a good father who knows how to take care of children!

Watching Li Shenglin gradually walk away, his strong sense of self-esteem made Liu Zaishi do something embarrassing. He shouted, "Have you heard of the name Liu Zaishi?"

Liu Zaishi? The name sounded familiar, definitely heard before. To take care of the other person’s poor self-esteem, Li Shenglin stopped and thought hard for a long time, finally remembering, "Yes, I heard Eun-hye say you take good care of her!" Thinking Liu Zaishi was very famous and a senior who took care of Yoon Eun-hye, and considering they were somewhat friends, he waved back, "Goodbye, Zaishi-oppa! But aren’t you single? You actually have a child, you really kept it a secret!"

Leaving, Li Shenglin didn’t see some MBC staff taking out a bunch of micro-cameras from where he and Liu Zaishi had been talking. Liu Zaishi, not happy about completing the task, felt his intuition telling him that this footage wouldn’t be cut and would cause a huge stir when broadcast. The national MC was great, but in such scenes that boost ratings, he had no say...

So, Liu Zaishi quickly called Yoon Eun-hye to ask if they were secretly dating... Fortunately, nothing serious happened, but a scandal was inevitable. However, since Eun-hye was rising in popularity, it would be more beneficial than harmful, which was a good thing.

A celebrity and an ordinary person causing a scandal, truly a rare event. Indeed, after this episode aired, the reaction was very strong, and the ratings almost matched some classic specials.

The first search result online: Yoon Eun-hye secretly gave birth to a child.

The second search result: Yoon Eun-hye’s rich second-generation boyfriend. It turned out he was caught on camera getting out of a Ferrari!

The third search result: Liu Zaishi was ignored...

The online storm was intense, but for someone who doesn’t watch TV and doesn’t follow entertainment news online, the impact was minimal.

What impact? His mother, sister, best friend, Xiao Long, and Xiao Shuijing all called one by one to ask for details!

After explaining everything, Li Shenglin was speechless. He really seemed to be suited for TV; just two appearances caused quite a stir...

He didn’t know that, fortunately, Yoon Eun-hye was now an actress rather than an idol. Otherwise, she would have faced personal attacks. Even so, he still gained some anti-fans from the CP fans of Kim Jong-kook and Yoon Eun-hye, which was quite unusual for an ordinary person.

At the same time, some of Yoon Eun-hye’s loyal fans actually accepted Li Shenglin and even created a fan club for him and Yoon Eun-hye...

Of course, he still found time to call Yoon Eun-hye to apologize, but she was very understanding and even thanked him, leaving Li Shenglin puzzled.

...

Another episode of "Infinite Challenge" was being recorded. Liu Zaishi, Park Myung-soo, Jung Hae-in, HaHa, and Yoo Hong-jeong were sitting in the waiting room, completely relaxed.

"Big Fatty is late again!" (Big Fatty: Jung Jun-ho)

"His assistant got lost!"

"His car broke down!"

"He got an invitation to audition for a drama!"

These kinds of complaints came easily from the Infinite Challenge members, a result of years of默契 (rapport), and the audience never got tired of them.

The restless HaHa suggested, "Why don’t we set up hidden cameras for Big Fatty again?"

But his partner Yoo Hong-jeong shot him down, "No fun, Big Fatty always falls for it, it’s not interesting!"

Just then, Big Fatty Jung Jun-ho arrived, "What’s not interesting? Wasn’t the episode where Zaishi-oppa was ignored very interesting?"

Hearing this, Park Myung-soo, who had been listless but always eyeing the main MC position, perked up and pushed Liu Zaishi, his demonic nature showing, "Hey, you unpopular guy, even Eun-hye’s man doesn’t know you!"

...

Actually, all of the above was pre-planned. The production team had used Yoon Eun-hye’s current popularity to create a scandal, which had already been clarified as just a familiar oppa, but the production team needed to eliminate the impact.

"Yes, Zaishi-oppa, even you were ignored, we have even less popularity!" HaHa "cried" in pain.

"Right, we need to take revenge, Zaishi-oppa, let’s set up hidden cameras for that man!" The mischievous Yoo Hong-jeong chimed in.

Liu Zaishi was very tempted (for the show effect), "Isn’t that a bit too much?"

"Eun-hye’s man, no problem!" The usually low-key Small Fatty finally showed his presence.

"But we don’t know him?" Liu Zaishi was no longer just tempted; he was ready to act.

"Eun-hye knows!" Big Fatty also chimed in.

A word woke the dreamer, Liu Zaishi quickly called Yoon Eun-hye. (Many things are for show effect, with a time difference between recording and broadcasting, and the dialogue is processed, the same applies below.)

"Hello, hello, Zaishi-oppa!" Hearing Yoon Eun-hye’s voice, "Playboy" HaHa started again, "Eun-hye, say it nicely!"

Liu Zaishi elegantly ignored the noisy child, "Eun-hye, do you know a man, um, how to describe him..."

"A man with messy hair, a scruffy beard, tasteless glasses, and very outdated clothes?"

Liu Zaishi was speechless. These descriptions... how to say... very accurate... "Eun-hye, we’re recording a show! Watch your language!"

"PD, cut this part!" Yoon Eun-hye paused for two seconds to make it easier to edit, "A man with very avant-garde hair, a very sexy beard, very stylish glasses, and very mature clothes?"

This not only made the waiting room burst into laughter, but when broadcast, the production team thoughtfully added two contrasting subtitles, making countless viewers burst into laughter!

"Yes, that’s him!" Liu Zaishi wiped the non-existent sweat, this sister was too powerful.

"Alright, I know what you’re going to ask, Zaishi-oppa, I read the news too! We’re just ordinary friends. Last year, when filming 'Cafe Prince,' the filming location was Shenglin-oppa’s coffee shop!"

Actually, everyone present knew the story, but this was to give the audience an explanation.

"Eun-hye, what’s Shenglin’s personality like?"

Thinking of Li Shenglin’s cross-dressing, Yoon Eun-hye laughed, "Very, very good!"

Liu Zaishi breathed a sigh of relief, "That’s good!"

"What’s up?"

"Our episode is called 'Revenge: Hidden Camera!'"

"Great, how do you plan to do it?"

"Like this, this, and this..."

Li Shenglin knew nothing about this. At that moment, he was arguing with Han Shengyan in his coffee shop...
