He suddenly thought of that show his agent mentioned during the day.
"Travel with Parents" became explosively popular not only because it pioneered live broadcasts, but also because many people's relationships with their families improved after participating in the show.
Recalling the routine of the first season's production team, there were many times when parents played games to grab ingredients.
Through the show, his sister could spread Ancient Martial Arts, and he could take the opportunity to establish the image of a tall and heroic brother, cultivating a relationship before their older brother, becoming his sister's favorite sibling.
"I know a great way; let's join a parenting show together."
"Parenting? Show?" Her little head tilted this way and that.
[Ancient Martial System: Great idea! He's truly your brother.]
Even the system was this excited, Gu Miaomiao blinked, "Sure, let's join a show together. What show should we join?"
"I'll contact my agent right away."
He had already missed "Travel with Parents 2," but after that show became popular, a flood of live parenting variety shows emerged like mushrooms after the rain. There were all kinds, indoor, outdoor, more adventurous survival types, or more stage performance-oriented ones; you name it, they had it.
Once the call connected, he got straight to the point, "I want to join a live variety show with Miaomiao. What are the options?"
Agent: "...Are you really the Gu Che I know?"
"Pfft."
Gu Che turned his head to see his sister covering her mouth, stifling a laugh, her eyebrows arched in amusement, causing the tips of his ears to burn red with embarrassment.
He stood up and went to the balcony.
The agent didn't beat around the bush, "It's still 'Travel with Parents 2.' One of the pre-arranged guests has a change in schedule, and the show is shooting tomorrow, right in Jiang City. Just as your relationship with Miaomiao as siblings was exposed, the director wants to invite you again, and the price has doubled."
Many people are currently curious about Gu Miaomiao.
There are fans of top-tier star Gu Che, famous director Gu Cheng, and even fans of Film Emperor Gu from back in Director Jin's day. Also, people are curious about how Gu Miaomiao miraculously survived and managed to find her biological brother.
As long as Gu Che and Gu Miaomiao join the variety show and broadcast live tomorrow, they wouldn't need to shoot a promo or post anything like other guests; the audience would flood the live stream.
Agent: "Do you agree? Even though Director Qian is leveraging your popularity, it's mutually beneficial..."
"I agree." Gu Che instantly consented.
High popularity is great; his sister will feel very happy seeing so many people like her, and even more know about Ancient Martial Arts because of her.
On the other end, the agent murmured softly, "Are you really the Gu Che I know?"
Gu Che was about to hang up the phone.
"Wait, if you're releasing a statement today, why would you @ your big brother? What's the point of that?"
"Hmph, it's none of your business." Gu Che hung up the phone.
Agent: "...This is the Gu Che I know."
On a certain film set.
The tall and handsome director was diligently working.
The crew members repeatedly cast glances his way, eventually irritating him.
"What?"
Gu Cheng swept them with a frosty gaze.
One daring actor spoke up, "Um, Director Gu, have you seen the news?"
Gu Cheng's face was frosty, "On the set, focus on acting. Don't pay too much attention to outside noise."
He hasn't seen the news, so the actor hesitated and said, "Perhaps you should take a look. Your brother released a statement; your sister is back."
Gu Cheng replied coldly, "Get back to work."
The actor slunk away.
Witnessing this, others thought, even if the miraculous return of his sister couldn't move this cold and rational man.
Ten minutes later, Gu Cheng went to the restroom, opened his social media app, and saw a trending news notification. He clicked it open.
His pitch-black eyes fluttered slightly.
Right then, a message came from Gu Che.
[Gu Che: Have you seen the news? Coming back or not? Or are you sticking to not returning home until work is complete, even if you work yourself to exhaustion and need to be hospitalized?]
[Gu Cheng: I'll talk after work is done.]
[Gu Che: I knew it.]
[Gu Che: Don't regret it.]
The man stood at the washbasin, silent for five minutes, opened his app, and booked a ticket back to Jiang City.
