Zhang Chaohe's wife and his fans were already waiting in the live broadcast room. As soon as the camera was turned on, they saw Zhang Chaohe's luxurious and impressive detached elevator.
[People came specifically to observe the habitat of wild Zhang geese!]
[Let me experience the CEO's home up close, sob sob (a handsome guy in an 80-square-meter apartment lightly touches a jade butt)]
[The project is now open! Guess what style Mr. Zhang's home is decorated in? I bet it's an Instagram-worthy, minimalist black and white look!]
[Replying to the comment above, I'm betting on a "Blooming Prosperity" all-solid wood Chinese-style home renovation!]
As expected, the most popular of the three routes was Mr. Zhang's route, while Mr. Li's route was mostly filled with gamers jokingly shouting "rnm refund".
However, to the director's surprise, there were quite a few people on Cheng Jixue's route.
Actually, everyone is a bit rebellious – the sudden appearance of an ordinary celebrity in today's star-studded guest lineup has unexpectedly piqued everyone's curiosity!
The camera pans to the door of Mr. Zhang's house.
When Xiao Zhang opened the door, he wasn't wearing a three-piece suit today; instead, he was dressed very fashionably, looking just like an ordinary college student.
He ushered the photographer inside, and the photographer quickly turned around the room with his camera, causing the number of comments on the screen to surge instantly.
[Goose Boss Unlocks New Gear!]
[So the reason why Mr. Zhang seemed so aloof and mature was because he was wearing a suit?]
[LOL! None of the ladies above guessed right, Mr. Zhang's house looks so cozy!]
[Judging from this apartment layout, I hope Mr. Goose's house isn't even 300 square meters...]
The interior design of Zhang Chaohe's home was indeed unexpected. The home did not look luxurious, but rather simple and fresh with a strong sense of design. Even the green plants were growing exceptionally lushly.
However, in this home decor that is clearly the work of a top designer, a raised platform surrounded by a white aluminum alloy fence in the living room looks quite out of place.
Inside that fence, there were not only grass mats and small toys, but also white pebbles and haphazardly growing clumps of grass—and a damn little pond.
[Zhang Baiwan, why did you create a pond scene in your living room? It's not what I'm thinking, is it?]
[So they built a house inside the house just for the goose?]
[Wait a minute, the rice bowl with the vegetable leaves... could it be that limited-edition porcelain plate handcrafted by that master craftsman I know?!]
Amidst a screen full of question marks, Caiye strutted out of the next room with its head held high. Since Zhang Chaohe picked it up, it has been eating better than six meals a day, and now it's almost as fat as a ball. Even its feathers are no longer as thin as when it first arrived; when it bristles, it looks like a giant feather duster.
Faced with the strange two-legged creatures that suddenly appeared in the house, Caiye immediately displayed unparalleled fighting spirit—before Zhang Chaohe could even react, Caiye had already stretched its neck and rushed towards the photographer!
The cameraman, still carrying a video camera: !!
Zhang Chaohe: "No—"
The scene instantly descended into chaos. The cameraman was swiftly expelled, and the camera shook as if a magnitude 10 earthquake had struck. The cabbage leaf unleashed a torrent of abuse at the stranger who had broken into its home, and unleashed its powerful wings and beak to fend them off!
Caiye, a single goose, chased after the camera crew with the ferocity of a thousand troops, leaving them screaming in pain. They retreated all the way to the gate before Caiye finally stood tall, turned around, and went home.
The disheveled filming crew: ...
[Haha, sorry, but this vegetable leaf is even more dog-like than a dog!!]
[I just saw it! A leaf flapped its wings and flew higher than the camera lens!]
[Poor photographer! He was practically chased out of his house by geese! How could this happen?!]
Just as everyone was laughing hysterically at the film crew's miserable experience, someone suddenly started spamming a warning in yellow text in the comments:
[Honey, wives, hurry over next door to see Li Ye! His dog is worth 2.4 million!]
Did you accidentally add two extra digits?
Mr. Zhang was instantly forgotten, and everyone rushed to Li Ye's live stream. As soon as they entered, they felt like they were being blinded.
[What is this, a grassland? Is that Li Ye on horseback?]
[This is a private horse ranch. Let me show you the current situation. Mr. Li is riding a horse and walking his dog at the same time.]
[This is all money I spent on the game! Give me my money back!]
Li Ye, dressed in equestrian attire, was riding a beautiful, snow-white horse around the arena, with a slender dog following beside it.
It looked just like a wolf—tall shoulders, long mane, erect ears, and a straight tail. Not only was its fur gray and black and fluffy, making it look majestic, but its beautiful eyes were like dark ice blocks, emitting a chilling light.
[Is that a wolf, not a dog...? Isn't it dangerous? There are so many people on set.]
I'm so scared it might suddenly pounce and bite someone. If it goes berserk, there aren't many people who could stop it!
[Don't be afraid, ladies! This is a dog, not a wolf, and it's a companion dog. It's not aggressive at all!]
[The research is back. This is a Blue Bay Shepherd, a newly bred breed from abroad. It's very rare and highly sought after; the last one sold at auction for 2.4 million.]
2.4 million?!
Is this what rich people are like? I'm not even as expensive as a dog.
Now I realize how down-to-earth Mr. Zhang is; despite coming from a wealthy family, he keeps a goose as a pet...
Li Ye gracefully dismounted from the saddle. He was already physically strong, and his equestrian attire made him look even more imposing. The prized Blue Bay Shepherd Dog obediently nestled beside his legs, like a victorious general in ancient times leading his beloved trophy.
He assured the camera crew of the Blue Bay Shepherd's safety—this companion dog was bred to combine a handsome appearance with a docile temperament, making it the dream dog for most people.
It has the appearance of a wolf and the loyalty of a dog; apart from being expensive, it has no flaws.
Dolan leaned silently against Li Ye, a gentle breeze ruffling its long mane. Although it had a resolute appearance and sharp, cold eyes, it allowed others to pet its head and back, behaving very obediently.
Gradually, the film crew's doubts were dispelled, and people began to approach Li Ye's dog. The photographer gave Duolan several close-ups to satisfy the curiosity of netizens.
After all, a dog worth 2.4 million might only be seen once in its lifetime—and it's free to see it!
[As expected, even celebrities can't compare to chaebol heirs... My neighbor has a regular Golden Retriever, and I have one downstairs. There probably aren't even two Blue Bay Shepherds in the whole country, right?]
[Sigh, although Li Ye might be suspected of flaunting his wealth, I'm sorry, I was genuinely impressed!]
[I proudly declare that one of the hairs on Doran's body was bought with my money! Li Ye, is this game trying to run away with all the money? Why haven't you fixed the bugs yet?!]
Compared to Li Ye's Blue Bay Shepherd, Cheng Jixue's Golden Retriever next door certainly looked quite ordinary.
This is exactly Li Ye's little scheme—he is never afraid of someone taking his things; he prefers to defeat the other party in front of everyone and make them feel ashamed.
Not only are you no match for me, but you're also far inferior to me when it comes to raising pets!
Although Li Ye's 2.4 million yuan dog briefly attracted everyone's attention, Mr. Zhang was obviously more popular than him - at least Mr. Zhang didn't have any blatant intention to flaunt his wealth!
Netizens were furious. Although they didn't want to hate the rich, it was a bit too much for you to step on their face like that.
The wife and the mother geese rushed back to Mr. Zhang's route and were pleased to see him scrambling to clean the floor – a vegetable leaf had just kicked over its own plate and was now wandering around the room.
The camera crew was only allowed to stand in the foyer and film from a distance—the two sides reached a temporary settlement, but as soon as the camera crew stepped across the foyer, Zhang Caiye would rush out while yelling and cursing them out of the house.
I was shocked! Zhang Baiwan actually has rags in his house! I thought rich people just threw them away when they got dirty!
[Mr. Zhang looks so skilled! So Caiye really did raise her from scratch, without hiring a housekeeper, right?]
【Vegetable Leaf, grow up quickly to repay your father's love (tears welling up)】
The cabbage leaves in front are really trying hard to grow, they've even learned to guard the house (not really);
The production team kept a close eye on the comments section, and the female host jokingly remarked, "Mr. Zhang doesn't seem as extravagant and dissolute as we imagined!"
Zhang Chaohe pointed to himself incredulously: "Extravagant and dissolute..."
He put a red collar and a small bell on Caiye—Caiye was now gradually getting used to his scent and would no longer attack him. At this moment, she was even lazily nestled in Zhang Chaohe's arms, stretching her neck to adjust the position of the collar herself.
"Everyone really thought that was the case," the host laughed.
“I can’t even eat four dishes in one meal,” Zhang Chaohe retorted clearly, “How can that be considered extravagance and debauchery?”
[That makes so much sense! I always thought Mr. Zhang's meals were like a royal feast, with only three bites allowed per dish!]
Sometimes my family eats four dishes and a soup! I declare that I'm even more extravagant than Zhang Baiwan!
[The Zhang family must be more powerful than the Li family, right? How come Li Ye next door looks like a nouveau riche, while young CEO Zhang seems to live such an ordinary life, almost like my nemesis neighbor!]
[I just checked, and although Mr. Zhang's house is quite expensive, it's definitely considered low-key among the wealthy second generation. The price is only around 120,000 yuan per square meter, and the apartment isn't very big either; even ordinary wealthy families can afford it!]
[I'm not watching anymore. I need to work hard to earn money and buy a house that costs 120,000 yuan per square meter so I can be neighbors with Zhang Da'e. See you, my lovely wives!]
The production crew quickly finished filming the footage at home, and Zhang Chaohe, along with Caiye and the crew, headed to the beach to meet up with Cheng Jixue and Li Ye. Just as he got into the car, he suddenly heard a production assistant whisper, "Mr. Zhang, didn't you get your hair and makeup done?"
Zhang Chaohe looked at his watch in confusion: "It's not even nine o'clock yet, what time do I have to get up to get my hair and makeup done?"
Stagehand: What a genuine reason!
She thought for a moment, then said unwillingly, "Mr. Li next door is secretly getting his hair and makeup done, Ms. Zhang, are you really not going to get your hair and curled like him?"
We're all CEOs, can't we even have a little bit of a rivalry between us?
Mr. Zhang chuckled softly. His face was actually quite small, and he was wearing a pair of brown sunglasses, which only revealed his beautiful jawline and thin, cinnamon-milk-tea colored lips, giving him a uniquely handsome appearance.
His smile was faint, yet it carried an air of arrogance that seemed to look down upon the world: "I'm not afraid of being rolled up."
Anyway, Zhang Chaohe and his beautiful and formidable rival Cheng Jixue have already agreed to give up together—let Li Ye drag himself down with him!
Oh no, he seems to know I'm handsome!
[Zhang Da'e, you know how to groom vegetable leaves but not yourself?!]
[That was very respectful; he was even wearing sunglasses to cover his face (doge)]
The production assistant looked up from the live broadcast room, secretly stared at Mr. Zhang's almost flawless face for a while, and sighed sadly.
If someone can punish him, I hope it will be for ten thousand years.
⚹
Li Ye deliberately chose to film at a horse farm in the suburbs in order to show off. Although the effect was good and it did intimidate a group of country bumpkins, it also directly caused him to have to travel almost twice the distance to get to the beach park.
When Zhang Chaohe arrived, he found that Cheng Jixue was already there. After all, the only footage of him was a chance encounter during a morning run. The two routes were merged into the main live broadcast route. Cheng Jixue was dressed in a simple and clean white shirt and jeans, as clean as a summer breeze or an autumn rain.
The melon he was holding looked rather dull and melancholy due to its variety. Its fur was not as fluffy and elegant as that of the blue melon, but rather had a beautiful luster like brown-gold satin.
Zhang Chaohe hadn't seen Guapi for several days and missed him terribly. After a hasty greeting to Cheng Jixue, he rushed over and affectionately ruffled Guapi's hair. Guapi immediately remembered that this was its human friend and happily pounced on him... almost slapping Zhang Chaohe so hard that he couldn't be picked up from the sand.
Zhang Chaohe openly rubbed against Guapi, the sand from Guapi's paws covering him. He was even wearing black clothes today, making the sand stains look like the result of a child's scribbling.
He hadn't intended to pay attention to the claw marks, but Cheng Jixue skillfully came over and patted his clothes clean, then carefully smoothed out the wrinkles that had formed in the car.
Zhang Chaohe naturally and obediently cooperated by raising his arm and tilting his head, his hands still busy rubbing the melon rind—so cute, waaaaah!
Let alone just dusting him off, Zhang Chaohe would tolerate even if Cheng Jixue were to pull his hair right now!
Unbeknownst to him, he had already grown accustomed to Cheng Jixue's touch. It was a gentle drowning, like boiling a frog in lukewarm water, to the point that Zhang Chaohe himself hadn't even noticed it.
