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

Lin Momo has always known that other people have parents, but she didn’t.

These days, Lin Momo didn’t feel sad about such things anymore, but when given this ‘knowledge’ she became very curious about the existence of her parents.

Lin Momo’s small movements did not escape Lin Cheng’s eyes.

Lin Cheng lowered his gaze and saw Lin Momo peeking up at him from time to time, with a curious expression on her face.

“What’s wrong?” Lin Cheng asked.

“Nothing.” When Lin Cheng found her peeking, Lin Momo lowered her head guiltily.

The little girl lowered her head, and Lin Cheng couldn’t see the expression on her face, but he could tell from her bouncing steps that she seemed to be in a happy mood at the moment.

Seeing that Lin Cheng didn’t say anything, Lin Momo breathed a sigh of relief, but after a while, she couldn’t help but sneak a glance at Lin Cheng again.

But soon enough, the expression on Lin Momo’s face collapsed.

She thought about what happened in the dream.

In the dream, everyone was scolding Lin Cheng, calling him names, but she obviously didn’t think that Lin Cheng was bad.

Instinctively, Lin Momo didn’t want Lin Cheng to be scolded.

She didn’t need Lin Cheng to support her, she could continue to live with her grandma—she just didn’t want to be sent to an orphanage.

Thinking of the last scene in the dream, Lin Momo shuddered, and the expression on her face became more and more serious.

Seeing Lin Momo, who was still in a silly mood just a second ago, suddenly look dismal, Lin Cheng raised his eyebrows.

Thinking of the child being a big fan of saving money, Lin Cheng sighed inwardly and said, “It’s just an injection of antipyretics, it didn’t cost much, and I will earn it back later.” 

Lin Cheng meant well, but he didn’t know that with everything that happened in her dream, well, Lin Momo didn’t even have time to think about the medical expenses yet.

It’s good if Lin Cheng didn’t mention it. But once he said this, Lin Momo’s thin shoulders collapsed even more!

It seemed he just made matters worse…

… …

The two returned to the old, rundown community where they lived.

At this time, the director team who were being scolded for ‘absent from work’ all night by fans could finally show the father and daughter team online again.

In the livestream channel, the audience was relieved to see that Lin Momo was safe and sound.

[Thank goodness, Momo is fine!]

""

[It’s good that nothing happened, I was scared to death last night.]

[I came here after seeing the trending search. When I turned on the livestream, I couldn’t see anything. Fortunately, she’s fine.]

[Seeing that she’s fine, I can now go to sleep with peace of mind.]

Although Lin Cheng and Lin Momo didn’t appear on the screen throughout the night, after the night’s events, the number of people online in the livestream channel has reached a record high of more than 118,000.

[Could it be hype? ] Someone voiced their doubts.

But soon, he was rebuked by other viewers.

[Have you ever seen someone who used his own child’s safety to hype?]

[If it’s a hype, will there be no one from the camera crew to follow?]

[Yesterday’s situation was obviously an emergency.]

[That’s true, I was watching the livestream yesterday, and Lin Momo’s situation could be seen to have a high fever at first sight.]

[This is definitely a problem with the program group. ]

[I also think that the program team was negligent in arranging a house for Lin Cheng and Lin Momo, didn’t they consider the issues of health and safety and whether people could safely live in it?]

""

There are more and more voices pointing at the program group on the barrage.

… …

In the program team office.

The chief director looked unhappy at the viewers’ comments flashing over the livestream feed.

After thinking for a moment, the chief director called the PR team.

“Last night’s livestream and the comments on Weibo, have you seen it?”

“Yes,” the person on the other end of the phone responded, and then asked, “Shall we make an announcement to clarify?” 

“Go. But don’t be too obvious about it. Just send a few footage of the staff doing a site visit in advance, and then explain that all the program recording sessions, housing, everything that needs to be done before the star starts recording, the program staff will personally inspect it, and there is no possibility of putting the star in danger.”

“Also,” after a pause, the director said again, “in the name of public welfare publicity, post a few group photos of families with difficult conditions, and let netizens know that there are indeed many people living in such houses, even celebrities. There’s nothing to be pretentious about, and how Lin Cheng shouldn’t be living like this.”

The head of the publicity team on the other end of the phone actually wanted to say: The living conditions of Lin Cheng and his daughter during this period, even compared to reality, was truly difficult, living as they were in an old, dilapidated house.

However, facing the chief director’s orders, she could only swallow her words and follow instructions.

After hanging up the phone, the chief director called the heads of the post-production group and the technical group.

“Director.”

“In the list of available video feeds from last night, why is the replay of Lin Cheng sending Lin Momo to the hospital still on it?” the chief director asked.

“This… Does it need to be removed?”

“If it’s not removed, do you intend our program team’s negligence to be seen by more and more people?”

If it was a popular star who was involved, it didn’t matter if the program team took the blame for the other party if something went wrong in the show. But Lin Cheng—a past star who was stuffed in the program by the entertainment company as the contrast team—really didn’t need that kind of grace.

After a pause, the chief director said again, “During the post-editing, this section will be directly edited out.”

“Okay…”
