The netizens watching the stream were going crazy.
—[Sisters, I’m actually done!]
—[This man is so damned attractive!!!]
—[This is too immersive. I’ve already found a fertility clinic. Hubby, when are you going to marry me?]

At Muyao Headquarters.
Director Chen snorted. “That Li Jianyu is showing off again.”
Nobody dared respond to him.
They were all colleagues, and they were familiar with how Li Jianyu worked. He excelled at shooting beautiful scenes and could make ordinary chores look like an idol drama. He had an artistic way of transitioning his shots, and they had all felt that he was the most suitable director to film “Heartbeat”.
Too bad…
On the other side.
The Xiang family’s living room.
The streaming schedule for this morning was to begin at Shi Sui’s home, and then film the entire journey to the Xiang family. Then, they would display the Xiang family’s manor and vegetable fields, leaving Xiang Yi to make the last appearance.
At this time, Ah Nan was happily watching the livestream with Xiang Yi.
“My goodness, no wonder he is called Shi Yingdi… That smile just now actually made my heart skip a beat. He’s too good!” Ah Nan expressed. After waiting a few seconds and getting no response, he turned to look. Of course, Xiang Yi hadn’t been watching at all but was slowly removing the cores of hawthorns with great focus.
Ah Nan’s lips twitched. “My dear, can you have some professional ambition?”
Xiang Yi: “Huh? What do you think professional ambition looks like?”
“Like… like, dress up properly! Look at you, it’s already past nine and you haven’t done your hair and makeup yet. And your attire—do you plan to wear this on the stream? Go go go, I’ll help you pick out a cute dress!”
“Let me finish up.”
“…” Ah Nan was bewildered. Where did the beauty loving sweetie—who cared so much about her appearance that even her heels needed maintenance—go?
The stream continued.
Shi Sui’s business vehicle was spacious, but it still felt crowded after being stuffed with film equipment and two cameramen.
The camera jutted out, almost hitting Shi Sui in the face. Regardless, he cooperated fully and chatted about his daily life for a bit before answering netizens questions.
“Do I have any intentions of doing new films? Not at the moment. I want to rest for a while.”
“Why did I take this variety show? Hm. Because the concept of this show fits exactly with my plans.”

“My regular routine…” Shi Sui raised his eyebrows. “Curious about my life, are we?”
The live comments filled with “I’m dead”.
Shi Sui smiled. “This is my daily routine now.”
Li Jianyu chimed in. “Our variety show doesn’t have a script, ah! We just want to show you the realest of lifestyles, the most natural of days… Additionally, our show has a large number of vacancies for advertisement endorsements, so we welcome any sponsorship daddies to join us! Come come come… Daddy Shi—eh, Shi Sui, come make a statement.”

—[Whoa, this director is too cute]
—[Director Li is as comedic as always, I’m in love, in love!]
—[Am I mistaken? Did Director Li just call Shi Yingdi Daddy Shi? Hahahaha]
Shi Sui looked helpless, but he still gently compromised: “Two Under One Roof—three meals a day through four seasons is the lifestyle I’ve always thought about. Your sponsorship is my honor, so please feel free to contact the production crew, thank you.”
Muyao Headquarters.
Director Chen asked, “Did you find it? What sponsorships do they have?”
“One car brand, a wristwatch brand… Shi Yingdi is the spokesperson for both of these brands. Aside from these, the only other sponsorship is the Xingchen app that Director Li has collaborated on.”
Director Chen smiled coldly. “Just as I thought.”
These days, if there were no sponsors, there was no money. “Two Under One Roof” could only take the small expenditure route. He deduced that their shooting venue later was going to be shabby and rundown.
