Chapter 482 - 253: Bombarding the Manipulative Diva! The Rebellious Overalls King! (Part 2)

This is the gaze only his die-hard fans would have; he doesn’t believe this girl would refuse.

After soothing the Overalls King, the agent turned and walked towards Wang Nan and her friends.

Amid Wang Nan’s surprised and shocked look, the agent came up to them and bluntly said to Wang Nan, "Hello, I’m Cai Xukun’s agent, do you know him?"

"I know, I know, she’s his die-hard fan!"

Wang Nan was already nervous, and with the agent’s words, she was at a loss for what to say. Lu Lu quickly responded seeing this.

The agent continued, "Alright, he has a variety show now and wants to invite you; are you interested?"

Awakened by Lu Lu’s pinch, Wang Nan vaguely heard her idol inviting her, instantly becoming excited.

"I would love to!"

Wang Nan responded firmly.

"Uh..." The agent was a bit taken aback and curiously asked, "Aren’t you going to ask what kind of show?"

"What kind of show?"

Only then did Wang Nan fully regain her senses and bashfully stuck her tongue out.

Another poor soul wounded by beauty.

That’s what the agent thought, but a smile hung on his face: "A One-Day Couple."

"A One-Day Couple? Is that literal?"

Lu Lu reacted noticeably quicker and exclaimed upon hearing this.

The agent nodded, "Yes, that’s exactly it, except it’s moved to the screen and for the audience."

"Ah?"

Wang Nan, upon receiving this heavyweight news, was once again flabbergasted.

The agent stayed silent, waiting for her to gradually come back to her senses.

After a while, Wang Nan refocused her eyes and said unbelievably, "You mean, he wants me to be his one-day couple? A variety show?"

Usually, she followed the Overalls King and knew he was a regular on variety shows.

The agent nodded, "Yes, exactly."

"Sister Lu Lu, did I hear correctly? My idol is inviting me to be his one-day couple, haha, I can’t imagine, I’m so happy!"

After her bewilderment, Wang Nan’s face visibly lit up with joy.

Shaking Lu Lu’s arm, if they weren’t in the Daoist Temple but her own home, she might have jumped up in excitement.

Lu Lu was happy for her friend yet felt it was somewhat abrupt.

The existence of variety shows is primarily to better attract fans for artists.

By right, given the Overalls King’s status, having countless topics around him, a gimmicky variety show should find a female artist of equally high profile to stir up popularity.

Instead of what happened in front of her, randomly picking a civilian off the street, casually getting on stage.

This feels like walking past a lottery shop, not even spending money, but picking up a discarded lotto ticket off the ground, winning the jackpot the same night, with the numbers just right.

This truly makes one feel guilty.

Lu Lu pondered and eventually chose to ask, "Um, I want to ask, is the male guest selecting the person for the show himself?"

The agent looked at her, sighed, and said, "Not really; there was originally a female guest scheduled, but he..."

Though he didn’t finish, the meaning was clear.

The show had a leading lady, but the Overalls King was too rebellious, unwilling to partner with the artist arranged by the show.

In other words, his invitation to Wang Nan to be his one-day couple was his own idea, not the show’s.

It also meant Wang Nan’s appearance would inevitably offend the original leading lady!

The agent reluctantly said, "The female artist arranged by the show, although not very popular now, has a high status. His free-spirited nature is hard to manage."

The words were even more apparent, the artist’s high status meant offending her could lead to negative consequences for ordinary people!

Moreover, despite the Overalls King’s top status, he might not protect Wang Nan.

After all, choosing Wang Nan as a one-day couple might be a spur-of-the-moment decision; once the novelty wears off, who remembers whom?

Even if the Overalls King takes responsibility, he can’t fend off all controversy.

Lu Lu wasn’t feeling too good, but Wang Nan’s eyes were growing brighter.

"So, he’s asking me to be his couple, even if it’s just for one day."

The agent was stunned: "Uh..."

Then, looking somewhat troubled, he glanced at Lu Lu beside him, his eyes obscure, as if asking her to persuade her good friend.

Common sense suggested that at this point, most would have retreated.

Someone like Wang Nan, who only focused on the couple aspect, was rare.

Lu Lu naturally noticed the agent’s gaze but didn’t respond, merely turning her head aside.

She understood the agent wanted her to advise Wang Nan.

The entertainment industry was already murky, let alone offending a high-status female artist.

The stakes were clear; this was obvious to ordinary people. Even with dreams in sight, for life’s struggles, it’s natural to look elsewhere and walk away.

Wang Nan was originally just an ordinary person, but now...

"I understand what you mean."

Wang Nan looked at the agent and smiled mischievously, "As long as he doesn’t mind my late-stage cancer, I’m not afraid of those little tricks."

"Cancer... late-stage cancer?"

"Yes, want to see the test report? I have it with me."

With that, Wang Nan opened her bag, pulled out a test report from inside, and handed it to him.

Looking at the test report, the agent swallowed, looking at the results on the page and swallowing several more times.

Now he understood; the girl wasn’t foolish, she simply wasn’t afraid!

Late-stage cancer, short life expectancy, yet she’s living so happily, clearly having accepted life and death.

Having accepted life and death, what fear could there be of the entertainment industry’s small tactics?

The agent handed back the test report, asking them to wait momentarily, then swiftly returned to explain everything to the Overalls King.

"So this girl has late-stage cancer?"

"Yes, although it’s not pancreatic cancer, the survival rate for late-stage breast cancer isn’t high either."

Upon listening, the Overalls King didn’t speak, instead showing a contemplative expression.

After a while, he looked at the agent and suddenly spoke decisively, "Then I have even more reason to choose her!"

The agent didn’t refute him, calmly waiting for the explanation.

The Overalls King lowered his voice, "Look, this show is called One-Day Couple, inherently a bad meaning. A couple can’t start and end in one day?"

"Therefore, I think the show’s name could change to Couple for Life..."

"Alright, stop the nonsense!"

The agent rolled his eyes, couldn’t listen anymore, and snarkily stopped him, "You’re trying to build a sincere persona, aren’t you?"

Seeing the Overalls King remain silent, the agent continued to analyze, "Firstly, you fancy her, there’s no denying that; secondly, the girl has late-stage cancer, the Immortal can’t save her, she isn’t afraid of the entertainment industry’s storm, that’s crucial."

"Most importantly, the third reason, she has this illness; you spend a little to find her a good hospital, occasionally visit her, directly crafting a Dragon Country good man persona; this characterization is invaluable."

The agent kept on rambling, while the Overalls King listened silently.

After the agent finished analyzing the reasons, he calmly responded, "Can’t the first be the most important reason?"

"Who are you fooling?"

The agent outright disbelieved him; what kind of people hasn’t the Overalls King seen in the entertainment industry?

No need to mention just a typical neighbor girl, even seven or eight prettier neighbor girls wouldn’t be a challenge for him.

"However, this idea is indeed clever."

"Even if we offend that one, an outdated female artist, we can handle it."

"Although the Kunkun shtick remains prevalent, relying solely on it won’t suffice."

"A Dragon Country good man character plus the Kunkun persona, one positive, one negative, yin and yang, whew!"

"Marvelous! It’s too brilliant!"

The agent’s analytical eyes grew brighter the more he evaluated.

In his eyes, this move by the Overalls King, combined with that document, is a trump card!

If all goes well, within three months he will surely be promoted to a gold-level agent!

Looking at the mystified agent, the Overalls King glanced up at the blue sky and sighed helplessly:

"Bro, I didn’t think that far ahead."
