Chapter 23

Director Han had been monitoring the live-streams of a few guests. He realized that although Tan Ming’s popularity was not the highest, she had a lot of aspects to promote. Hence, he got someone to make a separate promotional page for her.

The production team hired a professional team for the publicity. Half an hour later, all the publicity materials were released on the Internet.

The page had the background of the deserted island. There were two portraits posted. One was of Tan Ming climbing a tree, and the other was of her eating lunch out of a pot.

The content of the scenes was very eye-catching. In addition, Tan Ming was a natural beauty and was very eye-catching. She was on the same team as Jiang Huai, the most popular person in the entertainment industry. In less than half an hour, hundreds of thousands of viewers flooded into Jiang Huai’s live-stream chat room.

Director Yang, who was in charge of online publicity, couldn’t stop smiling when he saw this. “Director Han, our variety show might break the previous ratings record!”

Director Han was distracted and paid him little attention. The corners of his lips curled up slightly. “This girl called An’an has a lot of things that female celebrities lack in her personality. She doesn’t care about trifles, is straightforward, real, doesn’t carry the burden of being an idol yet looks like a celebrity. In the world of ordinary people, these characteristics might not attract attention, but it’s different in the entertainment industry.”

“Director Yang, find someone here to keep an eye on An’an and update us if she does anything special immediately!”

Director Han nodded repeatedly. “Director Yang, don’t worry. I’ll help arrange it immediately!”

After lunch, there was still about an hour of rest time. Tan Ming quietly left the cameras’ spotlight and circled around to find the tent in the production team’s logistics area.

At this moment, Li Mei was coaxing the babies to take an afternoon nap with Auntie Yue.

Li Mei saw the sweat on Tan Ming’s forehead. Her heart ached as she took out a tissue to wipe her daughter’s sweat. “An’an, if it’s really hard on you, let’s withdraw. That little compensation isn’t much. Your father can afford it!”

As Tan Ming seized the time to pump milk for the babies, she looked at the two children who were sleeping soundly. “Mom, I’m fine. I’m especially happy to be able to work hard for what I want to do! I’m happy even if I’m tired!”

Li Mei saw that the smile on Tan Ming’s face was genuine. She sighed softly and did not persuade her anymore. She just reminded her again, “If there’s laborious work, leave it to your brother. You’ve just come out of confinement. You have to take care of your body and not tire yourself out.”

Tan Ming knew that her mother was worried, so she nodded obediently. “Mom, Third Brother takes good care of me. I’ll also take care of my own health!”

Li Mei was slightly relieved. Then, she shared happily, “You’re very popular now. The production team specially made a solo promotional page for you! You already have a fan group now. I’m also a member of it!”

Li Mei’s tone was filled with pride.

As her phone had been taken away, Tan Ming had no idea what was going on in the outside world. She did not expect that people would like her so much even before she debuted. She could not help but feel excited.

After milking for half an hour, Li Mei saw that the lunch break was not over yet. Thinking of the fact that there was a bed to lie on and a fan in the tent, the conditions here were much better than outside for taking an afternoon nap against a tree trunk. She suggested, “An’an, the conditions here are good. Sleep here for half an hour. I’ll wake you up in advance when it’s time.”

Tan Ming had already become an exception by disappearing for half an hour during working hours to pump her breast milk. “Mom, I can’t be treated so specially. Everyone else doesn’t have this privilege.”

After saying that, Tan Ming was worried that Li Mei would stop her. She hurriedly bade farewell and ran out.

Li Mei’s heart ached as she watched Tan Ming run away. She muttered helplessly, “This child! Everyone else tries all sorts of ways to get special treatment, but she just wants to be the opposite.”

Tan Ming returned to the tree and leaned against Jiang Huai to rest.

The lunch break ended quickly. With Director Han’s loudspeaker, everyone’s residual sleepiness evaporated.

“Welcome everyone to the beginning of our afternoon activities. Let’s start with some leisurely entertainment games to help everyone wake up!”

When everyone heard Director Han’s deceptive tone, they did not believe that this leisurely game was really leisurely. They looked at Director Han warily.

Director Han simply ignored their faces and revealed a seemingly harmless smile. “This game is very simple. We’re near the sea. In the next hour, please think of ways to get some edible food from the sea. Fish, prawns, and crabs are all fine. As long as you all get something that can be eaten, this game will be a draw. It doesn’t involve points. It doesn’t matter how much you get. It’s just to let everyone go into the sea and get close to nature! Alright, let’s begin!”
