Love Apartment: The All-Around Comedian

Su Mingyang rolled his eyes and said honestly, "I haven't heard from him for almost half a year, so what?"

Lu Ziqiao's answer left Zeng Xiaoxian speechless.

Su Mingyang's answer deeply saddened Zeng Xiaoxian.

After a moment of silence, he explained, "There was an accident during my show last night."

Su Mingyang and Lü Ziqiao became interested: "What kind of accident?"

"Well..." Zeng Xiaoxian hesitated for a while, finding it difficult to speak, before finally revealing the truth, "It's just that I let out a long burp during my live stream last night~"

"..."

"That's it?" Su Mingyang was speechless.

"What? That's all?" Zeng Xiaoxian exclaimed impatiently. "Let me tell you, the hiccups I had last night weren't ordinary hiccups, but continuous, long hiccups, like this, hiccup~~~"

As he spoke, Zeng Xiaoxian began to demonstrate, his posture quite strange.

"Stop," Lu Ziqiao interrupted. "Even if it's a hiccup like that, so what?"

“Exactly,” Su Mingyang agreed.

Zeng Xiaoxian was somewhat exasperated by the two's lack of understanding: "How can it be nothing? This is a very serious broadcasting accident, you know?"

Su Mingyang comforted her, "It's alright, Teacher Zeng. You can think about it from a different perspective. Hiccups aren't a broadcasting accident for a radio host like you. Maybe there's an unexpected benefit in it."

"Bring benefits? What do you mean?" Zeng Xiaoxian was a little confused.

Lu Ziqiao didn't understand either.

I can't figure out what benefits hiccups can bring.

Su Mingyang explained, "Teacher Zeng, you should know that not many people listen to your program. Why is that? Isn't it because the content is too boring?"

“Uh…” Zeng Xiaoxian looked a little embarrassed. It was indeed the case, but he didn’t want to admit it. He said, “I can’t say that. My show still has a group of viewers, although it’s very small.”

“Okay.” Su Mingyang continued, “Your burp last night might have amused those who listen to your show. They might have found it funny. Now that it’s the internet age, the clip of your burp will spread online, and netizens will be attracted by your burp. Your show’s audience might expand. Don’t you think that’s a good thing?”

"That seems to make sense." Zeng Xiaoxian thought about it and agreed, but after a moment he felt something was off and said, "But wouldn't that make me the clown?"

Chapter 393

"As long as I can become famous, I'll be a clown. Many people want to be clowns but can't," Su Mingyang said.

Zeng Xiaoxian disagreed with this statement: "How can this be allowed? As a public figure, image is very important, okay? I'm not the kind of person who would abandon all principles just to become famous."

These righteous words surprised Su Mingyang: "So ambitious?"

"Haha." Lu Ziqiao laughed. "Don't listen to Teacher Zeng's nonsense. He's a public figure, at most he's on the radio listening to the New Year's Eve ghost."

“Lu Ziqiao, I’m a radio host.” Zeng Xiaoxian said through gritted teeth, looking at Lu Ziqiao.

Lu Ziqiao said dismissively, "That's just a radio host who answers New Year's Eve curse calls."

Su Mingyang laughed and said, "Don't put it so harshly. Teacher Zeng does have a few fans who help people solve their relationship problems."

Lu Ziqiao said, "The reason why those people became fans of Teacher Zeng is mostly because they felt sorry for her and were driven by sympathy."

"What do you know?" Zeng Xiaoxian rolled his eyes. "My fans are real people."

Lu Ziqiao rolled his eyes and said, "If you come with me as my wingman, I'll acknowledge that you're a public figure and that your fans are real."

“No, I’m not in the mood.” Zeng Xiaoxian refused outright, and said quietly, “The radio station is holding an outstanding host selection recently, and Lisa Rong is one of the judges. She already blamed me for being biased, and she will definitely use this live broadcast accident to make a big deal out of me. I have no hope of being a judge, and the prize money is gone too.”

By the end, Zeng Xiaoxian's face was contorted into a bitter expression.

After listening, Su Mingyang felt a little strange and said, "Teacher Zeng, aren't you overthinking this?"

"Why are you overthinking it?" Zeng Xiaoxian asked.

Lu Ziqiao said, "Mingyang means that Lisa didn't listen to your program."

Zeng Xiaoxian panicked upon hearing this: "How could I not have heard it? My program is broadcast live throughout the city."

Su Mingyang shook his head and said, "No, no, no, that's not what I meant. What I'm going to say has nothing to do with whether Lisa heard me or not."

"What does that have to do with?" Zeng Xiaoxian's face was full of doubt.

Su Mingyang explained, "What I mean is, your show has consistently had the lowest listenership for years. Regardless of whether Lisa heard it or not, you're definitely not going to be selected as the best host."

“That’s right, that makes sense,” Lu Ziqiao said. “Unless the radio station is holding a contest for less popular hosts, then Teacher Zeng would definitely be the undisputed number one.”

"..."

Zeng Xiaoxian stared at Lu Ziqiao with dead fish eyes, and suddenly the drink in his cup didn't taste so good anymore.

Lu Ziqiao felt a little guilty and said, "Don't look at me like that. I'm just stating the facts. Teacher Zeng, you're just worrying unnecessarily. Mingyang, don't you agree?"

The last sentence was said to Su Mingyang.

Su Mingyang nodded.

"..."

After a moment of silence, Zeng Xiaoxian sighed: "Okay, I admit you have a point."

"That's settled then, Teacher Zeng, you can be my wingman then," Lu Ziqiao said with a smile.

"I'm not going," Zeng Xiaoxian shook his head.

"Why aren't we going? Wasn't the matter resolved?" Lu Ziqiao asked, frowning.

Zeng Xiaoxian said irritably, "Did I say I'd go after it was resolved?"

"So what exactly do you want in order to go?"

"Don't go!"

"..."

Su Mingyang was too lazy to listen to the two of them rambling on.

Go to the room and find Guan Gu Shenqi.

He has already drafted the cooperation agreement for the One-Punch Man manga remake.

We're just waiting for Guan Gu's signature.

Guan Gu Shenqi is painting an oil painting in his room.

They were incredibly excited to learn the purpose of Su Mingyang's visit.

He quickly invited Su Mingyang to sit down.

Su Mingyang didn't say much, but took out the agreement and showed it to Guan Gu Shenqi.

The details of the agreement were all agreed upon beforehand.

The character designs for the remake are controlled by Guan Gu himself, and the plot can be added or removed as appropriate.

Su Mingyang was not involved in the production.

When the manga volumes are released, the profits will be split 50/50.

Other details are not important.

Guan Gu Shenqi glanced through it briefly and then signed his name.

Su Mingyang carefully put away his copy of the agreement and said to Guan Gu Shenqi, "I've already spoken to the editor-in-chief (Zhao Nuozhao), so you can start drawing right away, Guan Gu."

"Okay, thank you Mingyang-jun for giving me this opportunity. I will definitely draw it well!" Guan Gu Shenqi said solemnly, and bowed deeply.

Since the release of his love triangle cat manga.

The profit share obtained does not exceed 100,000.

It's only enough to cover rent and basic living expenses.

The new comics I conceived didn't have much of a market.

Work is incredibly frustrating.

Fortunately, Su Mingyang gave him a chance.

He was genuinely grateful for the other party's apology.

Su Mingyang reached out to steady him and laughed, "Haha, I believe you."

Chapter 394

When Su Mingyang came out of Guan Gu's magical room.

Zeng Xiaoxian and Lu Ziqiao are playing the card game "Three Kingdoms Kill".

He suddenly became curious: "Ziqiao, weren't you going to a bar? Why are you doing this? If you don't go soon, all the girls will leave."

Lu Ziqiao said helplessly, "It's all because Teacher Zeng refused to be my wingman no matter what. I had to use all my persuasion to convince him that he would listen to me as long as I can win this game."

Zeng Xiaoxian rolled his eyes.

"I see." Su Mingyang found it somewhat amusing.

At this moment, Zhang Wei came out of the room carrying his luggage, looking dejected.

Seeing this, Zeng Xiaoxian casually asked, "Zhang Wei, are you on a business trip?"

Zhang Wei put down his suitcase, put his hands in his pockets, and said coolly, "Don't mention it, it's too painful to recall."
