Serve as Contrast Team in a ‘Dad with Baby’ Show

Chapter 19,Part 2: — What About Lin Momo?

It was at this time that voices supporting Lin Cheng and Lin Momo began to pop up in the comments section.

[This clip is designed to sway people. Those who have not watched the livestream, I suggest that you speak carefully about what you don’t know.]

[To be honest, I watched the whole livestream, and I didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with how Lin Momo behaved. The scenes shown here are completely taken out of context by the program group.]

[During the livestream, Lin Momo’s performance was quite reasonable…]

Although the number of viewers who entered Lin Cheng’s livestream channel to watch the dad-and-daughter team was not many, and there were not many people who knew the real situation, but it was not that no one knew the truth at all—not to mention that at one point, Lin Cheng was on the trending search for half the night when Lin Momo had a fever.

Originally, there were not many comments supporting Lin Cheng and Lin Momo, and sure enough, they were quickly submerged in the complaints.

But at some point, the voices supporting the Lin Cheng team began to increase, and they were able to reverse the rhythm of the comments.

From time to time, there appeared a few very contrarian, dogmatic evaluations.

[Since when is careful calculation a mistake? Have you ever lived a difficult life? Do you know how the 14-year War against Japan came about? What qualifications do you have to say that you are disgusted if you have never suffered?]

… …

Seeing that the trend in the comment section somehow gradually turned positive, all three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

“Is the company taking action?” Wang Xi said, voicing her thoughts out loud.

But Chen Yu gave her a blank look and asked, “Do you think the company will do this?”

Wang Xi: “…”

She almost forgot that the original purpose of the company was to sacrifice Lin Cheng and pave the way for Duan Bei. How could Lin Cheng have it so ‘good’?

“Maybe Brother Cheng bought the water army himself?” Wang Xi asked again. Lin Cheng has been out of the limelight for so many years and has no fan base at all. In this situation, unless he pays for the water army, it is impossible to reverse the comments.

Chen Yu didn’t speak and suspicion flashed in his eyes: the reversal of the comments just now really seemed to be the work of ‘capital operation’, but the Lin Cheng he knew didn’t seem to be a person who would buy a water army.

… …

On this point, Chen Yu was not wrong in his estimation.

In his apartment, Lin Cheng also saw the preview and the audience’s comments.

Lin Cheng originally planned to directly make a report and have this ‘problematic’ preview removed from the airwaves.

But before he could act, the rhythm of the comments had already reversed.

Lin Cheng put away his phone.

Originally, he didn’t care too much about being blackened, but this time, recalling the malicious comments, Lin Cheng felt a faint anger that eventually bubbled up in his heart.

… …

The episode finished airing. Chen Yu and the others all breathed a sigh of relief, but the dissatisfaction in their hearts did not diminish in the slightest.

“Can’t you talk to the company about this? If the program crew continues to edit like this, Brother Cheng and Lin Momo—I don’t know how many anti-fans they will pull in,” Wang Xi said.

Chen Yu nodded.

It’s only that….

“It’s useless to talk to the company,” Chen Yu said in a deep voice. The editing this time, the program team could only have done so after seeking the company’s permission.

“Then what should we do? We can’t just do nothing and not fight for fair treatment.”

“Let me think about it.”

Chen Yu looked through the company’s address book, and finally settled on Sun Yanzhou’s phone number.

As Lin Cheng’s previous manager, Sun Yanzhou took good care of Lin Cheng even in recent years, and now he has become part of the company’s executives.

After Chen Yu considered things, Sun Yanzhou was probably the only one who could help Lin Cheng at this time.

The phone call connected quickly.

Chen Yu told the other party the whole story.

“The program group’s editing is completely malicious. Brother Sun, can you help? Please ask the company to talk to the program group about this matter,” Chen Yu asked.

On the other end of the phone, Sun Yanzhou looked very calm.

“I’ve also seen the episode just now. It’s true the program group does have some issues with editing, but I don’t think it’s entirely malicious.” After a pause, Sun Yanzhou continued, “The company is cooperating with the program group, sending artists to participate in the program. Their purpose is the same: the hope is that the program can increase the ratings and the artists can become popular.

“To be honest, Lin Cheng’s career has been stagnant in recent years, never hot or even warm. Even though he participated in this program, he may not be able to make any splash. The editing of the program group, I think it may be because of Lin Cheng’s current situation. If there are no on-screen conflicts or hot topics, it would be difficult for the audience to have an impression about him.

“After all, black comments are still a mark of popularity.

“Of course, the situation you outlined is also possible, but I suggest to observe first. The effect of the recorded episode has not yet come out; if we confront the program team right now, Lin Cheng would be the one who will suffer the loss.”

Sun Yanzhou’s persuasion was sincere and natural, and Chen Yu was convinced—it did seem to make sense.

“Okay, then I’ll listen to Brother Sun, let’s wait and watch how it develops.”

“Lin Cheng and his daughter should interact more in the show,” Sun Yanzhou reminded.

“Okay, thank you, Brother Sun.”

… …

The next day, early in the morning, Chen Yu received a call.

Seeing the name [Lin Cheng] on the call display, Chen Yu almost thought he had read it wrong.

Lin Cheng actually called him, and it was early in the morning?!

Chen Yu answered the phone. “Brother Cheng?”

“Is the recording of the program starting this afternoon?” Lin Cheng asked.

Lin Cheng’s sudden concern about his work moved Chen Yu and, frankly, surprised him.

He hurriedly looked at his notebook and replied, “Yes, the appointment time with the program team is about 7:30 p.m..”

Because the recording time of the program was relatively tight, this week, the father and child needed to arrive at their ‘new home’ for filming one night in advance.

Lin Cheng hummed to indicate he heard.

Just when Chen Yu thought that Lin Cheng would hang up the phone, Lin Cheng seemed to pause for a moment and asked, “Has Lin Momo been picked up?”

Chen Yu was stunned. “Not yet. I plan to arrange for Zhou Qi to go down and pick her up later.”

After speaking, Chen Yu didn’t hear any response from Lin Cheng. He became a little uncertain about the situation, and asked, “Then… how about I ask Zhou Qi to pick her up now?”

“Yes.”

“Okay, then I’ll ask them to go early.”

Although Chen Yu didn’t understand why Lin Cheng suddenly asked for Lin Momo, it didn’t really matter to him if they picked up people earlier or later.

… …

In the afternoon, when Chen Yu saw Lin Cheng arrive at the company, he once again showed an expression of ‘the sun is rising from the west’: Lin Cheng, who has always agreed on a time and only came to the company or to the site exactly on the dot, unexpectedly came to the company early today!

.

“Brother Cheng? So early?” Chen Yu asked, looking at Lin Cheng in disbelief.

Lin Cheng did not answer Chen Yu’s question, only glanced at the other party and asked, “What about Lin Momo?”

Chen Yu was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.

“She’s already been brought over, they’re in the small meeting room over there,” Chen Yu pointed to the direction of their temporary meeting room. “We prepared some precautions in recording the program and let her have a look through it.”

For example, in the program, she must not mention her previous life situation; do not engage in certain behaviors, etc.

“That’s not necessary,” Lin Cheng said. Lin Cheng didn’t think there was anything wrong with the little girl’s performance during the previous week’s recording, and she worked so hard that he couldn’t bear for people to criticize her.

After speaking, Lin Cheng went straight to the small conference room.

Lin Cheng pushed open the door. At this time, Lin Momo was sitting quietly on the sofa in the corner of the small conference room, holding in her small hands the stack of ‘Notes’ given by Chen Yu.

The girl had her head lowered and the bangs on her forehead blocked part of her face, but Lin Cheng could still see the expression on her face: she was downcast, just like an eggplant beaten by frost.
