Chapter 243: Row of Egrets Ascend Towards The Heavens

“‘Voice Legend’? Guest appearance? Sister Bai, are you joking?”

Voice acting has always been one of Meng Fan’s dreams. Meng Fan had seen most of the related TV series that are based around voice acting, and he’d seen all of the first season. Afterwards, when the second season kicked off, Meng Fan had been following it religiously as well. He had a good understanding of this series.

The first season of “Voice Legend” had been very popular and well made, too. There were some inevitable faults such as Mango TV’s nasty habit of editing out one of the winning competitors from the show and their annual concert completely, or cutting Bianjiang out of the show and being cursed for setting up the winner. But overall, it was a show with a high level of production and looked great, without draining much celebrity time.

Meng Fan was very shocked to hear Bai Zhi offer him this position. The celebrities on this show were all famous actors in the industry including their guest stars. This included the most famous voice actor in the country, Bianjiang. It was a very popular show.

Meng Fan didn’t think he was nearly famous enough to be a guest on this show.

11/11?

The fight?

This kind of fame had nothing to do with voice acting.

Plus, he didn’t have a demo of his own. The only important roles he had played were from “Forest Exploration” and “Nine Days”, both of which haven’t aired yet.

Because of this, Meng Fan had taken Bai Zhi’s offer as a joke; but seeing her expression, it didn’t feel like a joke at all. How strange.

“I’m not joking with you. I’m serious. I’ve watched your voice acting stream, and I can see your potential breaking through the roof! I genuinely want to ask you for your help.”

“No, sister, are you trying to bring me there so I can be popular?” Meng Fan guessed that this was a possibility. “I’ll pass. I’m not trying to get into the entertainment industry. Why do I need popularity? It would be awkward if everyone else brought a superstar, and you bring in me, who is essentially unknown. They might think you’re an unsociable person who has no friends in the industry.”

“Why would I bring you there to gain popularity? If you wanted that you would have gone on all those reality shows.” Bai Zhi said. “I just need you. Okay, okay. Let’s just say I have no friends in the industry. One word: Help. Are you going to help me or not?”

“Okay, okay, okay, I’ll do it! But will your crew allow it?”

Honestly speaking, Meng Fan had no interest in their previous invites, but he was very interested in this one.

Whether it was popular or not, Meng Fan did not care. Popularity could be converted into stream views, and Meng Fan knew this. Now, he could complete the [Famous Streamer] task even faster.

Thus, Meng Fan noticed that Bai Zhi already had her request approved by the crew, so he hurriedly asked: “Then will the filming take a long time?”

He was still thinking about self-defense classes.

“We’ll fly down in the afternoon and wrap up by tomorrow.” Bai Zhi responded. “Are you up to something?” She asked.

This was an acceptable answer for Meng Fan. “I am, but it’s not urgent.”

“So I’ll take that as a yes, then!”

Bai Zhi saw Meng Fan nod and immediately got her assistant, sister Sun, to book the airline tickets. After purchasing the next flight out, she told Meng Fan: “The flight is at 11:45 am, so pack your stuff. We’re heading for the airport, okay?”

“Alright.”

Meng Fan went to his room to pack some clothes since there was nothing else to bring. All he needed was a simple outfit.

Ding Dong.

He’d just finished packing when the doorbell rang. Bai Zhi got up from the living room to peek through the keyhole before smiling at Meng Fan slyly. “And you said there were no girls here!”

She opened the door to Wu Tong, hands full with grocery bags.

“Si…Sister Bai!”

Wu Tong was stunned to see Bai Zhi awaiting her at the door. She’d noticed Meng Fan didn’t look too good in the morning, and wanted to cook him a hearty meal. She didn’t expect to see Bai Zhi there.

“Ah, Wu Tong is here. Come in, come in! My, my, did you just buy groceries? No wonder I didn’t see you when I arrived. Are you the one cooking? That’s not okay. Don’t spoil this brat. Things like cooking should be left up to the men. Oil and grease is not good for your skin!”

Bai Zhi was an intuitive thinker. Her words made Wu Tong flush red, and also eliminated all possible misunderstandings.

“Sister Bai, you’re mistaken. I don’t live here,” Wu Tong said after being pulled inside by Bai Zhi.

“Okay, okay, okay. You don’t, you don’t.”

Bai Zhi obviously knew what a girl-inhabited apartment looked like, but she couldn’t help teasing her a little. “I’ve known Fan’s older sister for a long time now, and I’ve met Fan’s mom, too. Aunty is a very open-minded person and would never think to meddle with Fan’s personal relations, especially when it comes to love!”

Meng Fan’s eyes almost rolled inside his brain. Sis, I really wish that were the case!
