Chapter 470: 8 Person Variety Show

Translator: Lonelytree

When she heard the man, Mo Li couldn’t help but sigh. This show was an adaptation of a foreign show. It was meant to be a military educational and variety program. It was a documentary that recorded the lives of eight celebrities as they shed their star status and joined the country’s military. They would experience different military services for 5 days and 7 nights. They would eat, live, and train with the young soldiers.

She turned around and saw the man, who pushed Fang Ming earlier, glaring angrily at the idol star. The idol star was used to being served, so when he saw the man’s large body, he immediately shrunk his neck and did not dare to make any noise.

“Damn it, who do you think you are to make such demands? We’re joining the army, we’re not going to the battlefield. If our soldiers acted like you, our country would be gone already! It is crazy to think we could ever depend on people like you to defend our country. Plus, I really don’t get why you join this show in the first place, it’s a waste of everyone’s time.” Another man ran over from the other carriage and said, “Brother Xu! There’s no need to shout! This way please.” The man then quickly hooked his arm around Brother Xu’s neck and dragged him away.

Before Brother Xu left, he pointed at the idol star, “Try to scold your manager again and see!”

The idol star was so scared that he was petrified. He did not recover even after Brother Xu and the man left the carriage. The other celebrities who looked unhappy earlier did not dare to make a sound either. They turned to the idol star with either mockery or pity.

The eight celebrities came from different agencies and backgrounds.

The oldest among them was a semi-retired celebrity, Pan Huang. Even Fang Ming had to be respectful towards him. He had an important position in the industry. One word from him and he could make a new star’s career disappear.

The male idol was called Ding Cheng. At that moment, he felt like he was sitting on needles. He turned around awkwardly to face the window. He took out his phone to call his manager. He’d rather miss the exposure than stay on the show.

The call hadn’t been made when a voice came from the other carriage. “Are they treating this show as a garbage site? The agencies can’t control their own artists so they dump them here to be taught?”

Guo Feng, a veteran of the music industry shook his head. Ding Cheng shivered and sniffled. He had a feeling his nightmare was not yet over. Suddenly someone patted his shoulder. “Brother, what’s wrong?”

Ding Cheng turned to see a handsome young man. The latter was always smiling.

“What do you mean?” Ding Chen asked with red eyes.

“We’re just guests, we’re not going to stay there forever. Why are you so sad? Is it because you can’t bear to part with your girlfriend?”

Ding Cheng sighed. He couldn’t even remember which girlfriend he was in the middle of dating, but he definitely couldn’t bear to part with his good life. He shook his head. “I just don’t feel like going.”

“Then why are you here?”

An honest-looking man next to Ding Chen cut in, “After I found out Huan Yu started this program, I quickly signed up. 20 plus people from my company participated but only I was picked. I wanted to ask them if I could bring my friend from the same company but they wouldn’t allow it.”

Ding Cheng didn’t care for the young man. Ding Cheng came from a big agency so he couldn’t understand the concern of a country bumpkin from a small company.

“My name is Xiao Ran,” The honest man extended his hand to Ding Cheng.

Ding Cheng ignored him. Other than Fang Ming, Pan Huang, and Mo Li, he couldn’t be bothered with the rest. Ding Cheng had a high view of himself. He was called a genius by many people so he had a deep-seated sense of superiority. He looked down on others. He continued to call on his phone, praying that his company leader would pick up. To his disappointment, his calls went unanswered. He was left to fend for himself.

After a while, a bespectacled man walked on the train to grab everyone’s attention. “Everyone, welcome.” He pointed at their uniform. “The clothes that you are wearing are more than just a uniform, it is a symbol of pride and honor! No matter how long you’re here, you have to remember the morals and dignity of a soldier. You must train hard and have no fear of difficulties! You must be ready to shoulder the responsibility to protect the country!”

Ding Cheng revealed a mocking expression. He ignored the man and continued to play on his phone.. He complained to his friends about this whole charade.
