Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!-Chapter 778: The Gift of Being a Director

"Shiguang, I really misjudged you, you’re actually this kind of person!"

"Yeah, to think that Taifan and I treated you like a brother, and you resorted to these methods to get in? Why?"

The door to the dorm was flung open, and Jiang Shi Xu, wearing a black coat, seemed very nervous as he stepped back inside.

Opposite him, Chen Taifan and Ling Bei both stood with their arms crossed, closing in step by step.

Jiang Shi Xu raised his hands and shook them, "No, no, it’s not like that..."

"Then what is it like? I even caught a glimpse of you on a video call with Jiang Li before, and I was wondering how you knew her. Now it all makes sense!"

The audience in the live stream, who were initially confused, quickly caught on.

[So Chen Taifan knows too? Looks like they have good values, not covering up for Shiguang.]

[A video? There was something fishy going on a long time ago! I knew he was always sneaking out with his phone at night!]

[I’m speechless, does Shiguang still want to defend himself? Just pack up and get out of the training camp already!]

[Mr. Taifan, hurry up and call security to throw his bedding out!]

"No, I...." Jiang Shi Xu bit his lip, his face turning beet red.

Chen Taifan, on the other side, took in the scene and couldn’t help but reflect that the Jiang Family members, all involved in media, indeed had great acting skills, even Jiang Shi Xu.

He then gave a soft cough, signaling it was time for Jiang Shi Xu to reveal the truth.

Jiang Shi Xu released his bitten lips, his voice becoming several decibels louder.

"I, I am innocent with her. We have nothing between us... no, that’s wrong, there is a relationship, Jiang Li, she is my sister, my real blood-related sister."

[?????]

[!!!!!]

[Guys, to clear his name, this guy has come up with such an absurd excuse.]

Following through with the principle of acting to the fullest, Chen Taifan pointed at Jiang Shi Xu and said assertively, "Who would believe that! You say she’s your sister, and she’s your sister? I could also say, could say..."

Chen Taifan racked his brain for a well-known figure that stood out to him.

"I could also say Jiang Yu is my dad!"

Jiang Shi Xu: !

He was clearly stunned for a moment, but regaining composure, he immediately pulled out the item Jiang Li had just sent him with the food delivery.

"I, I have a household register, Jiang, Jiang Li really is my sister..."

Chen Taifan grabbed the household register with an incredulous look, then purposefully brought it close to the camera as he flipped through, saying, "I just can’t believe this..."

The first page listed the head of the household, Jiang Zhao Yuan.

A few pages more revealed Jiang Yan and Jiang Li.

As the pages neared the section that would show his own father, Jiang Shi Xu quickly stepped forward and deftly flipped two more pages.

"Look, here I am."

He pointed to his own name.

Then he pulled out his identity card.

Printed in large characters were the words—"Jiang Shi Xu."

The photo was the spitting image of him now. novelbuddy.cσ๓

Chen Taifan and Ling Bei: "Ah!"

Live stream audience: "Ah???!!!"

The astonishment from Chen Taifan and Ling Bei was feigned.

However, the audience’s was not.

They were genuinely shocked.

[??????what??? Shiguang is actually Jiang Li’s brother???]

[Holy shit, I’m shocked, what?]

[Wait a minute, I am also confused.]

[He actually has a household register???]

Jiang Shixu’s voice came discontinuously through the live broadcast room.

"Actually, the reason I concealed my identity was because I didn’t want everyone to think that I came here relying on my family. I really love singing, and participating in ’Youth Trainee’ was just to prove my own abilities. But I didn’t expect that my concealment would cause so much trouble to everyone, especially my fans, I’m sorry...."

Chen Taifan sighed, and, along with Ling Bei, embraced him.

"It’s okay, Shiguang, as long as it’s a misunderstanding, it’s fine once it’s cleared up."

The viewers in the live broadcast room were still in a daze, but these three had already gone out with their arms over each other’s shoulders.

In the office, Chen Qijun watched the live broadcast and nodded in satisfaction.

"I never thought my son would have such a talent for directing, this setup really maximized the effect."

Not only did it clarify the situation directly and clearly, but it also brought a wave of popularity.

The live viewers of ’Youth Trainee’ were about to break a million now.

Wouldn’t the investors be laughing themselves to death?

Sitting next to her were Shen Lan and Jiang Li.

The three of them watched the live broadcast together on the big screen in Chen Qijun’s office.

Shen Lan let out a sigh of relief.

"So there’s no problem now, right?"

"Pretty much so, whatever needed to be clarified has been," said Chen Qijun, "As for whether anything else will be dug up, that’s just a matter of time."

"I’ve also noticed something else," Shen Lan said after taking a sip of coffee, "Is your program that miraculous? It cured my son’s stuttering?"

Who would have thought he could speak such a long string of words without a pause in front of the cameras.

It’s incredible!

"It’s not cured," Jiang Li replied, "Didn’t you notice? When Shixu spoke just now, there was no emotion in his eyes; it seemed more like recitation than speech. If I’m not wrong, it must have been prepared in advance by Taifan and the others."

Shen Lan: "..."

Jiang Shixu went to practice singing calmly.

Meanwhile, Weibo went wild.

Several trending topics emerged one after another.

[? ? ? Ah? Isn’t Shiguang actually Jiang Li’s cousin?!]

[How many hidden dragons and crouching tigers does the Jiang Family have? Before there was the academic prodigy Jiang Cheng, and now there’s the popstar Jiang Shixu.]

[Calm down, you all; after seeing that Jiang Shixu’s mother is Shen Lan, you should know how strong the Jiang Family is.]

[Now I’m even more curious about who Jiang Li’s second uncle is....]

[Heh, even with the clarification, isn’t it still about having a powerful backing?]

[Are you conspiracy theorists okay? Weren’t those votes for Shiguang cast one by one by our fans? Don’t forget, his ranking was already high from the start when nobody knew who he was!]

[Exactly, our little brother Shiguang is clearly relying on real talent, and there aren’t many second-generation celebrities like that in the entertainment industry. Be content!]

In an instant, Jiang Shixu’s reputation underwent an extreme reversal.

Not only was he cleared of all doubts but his fan base had even doubled from before!

His popularity left the second-place Xi Yang behind by hundreds of thousands!

When Xi Yang learned the news, he was dumbfounded in the practice room.

Jiang Li and Shiguang are siblings?!

How could this happen?

Hadn’t he had someone investigate? Wasn’t Shiguang just a kid with no background from the countryside? How could he be a rich second-generation?

Xi Yang was deeply shocked.

Far from undermining Shiguang, he had catapulted him to fame.

No, that’s not right.

Surely the producers of ’Youth Trainee’ knew his identity all along!

Yes, that must be it; how else could he have become famous overnight?

He himself had worked hard for eight years to achieve the results he had now!

Xi Yang watched as the grinning trio walked in and felt his eyes nearly distort with envy.
