Chapter 15 Gourmet Variety Show Premieres to Explosive Popularity

Everyone saw the landlady beaming with a smile and having a good attitude, so they sat down, and the server immediately brought over the menus.

After the landlady had taken care of that table, several more groups of customers came in one after another, and the corners of the landlady's mouth were almost too wide to close with her smile.

Once she had finished greeting those customers, she walked over to Jin Luo and the other two, "Young lady, I'm really thankful for you today. If it weren't for you, my restaurant wouldn't have had so many customers."

"You haven't had lunch yet, right? Today, I'll treat you to lunch, eat as much as you like."

Hearing this, Jin Luo laughed and said, "Well, thank you very much, landlady."

Commenters in the live feed: [...]

Were their eyes playing tricks on them? This was too mystical.

Ever since Jin Luo had made the Inviting Wealth gesture, customers really started coming through the door; at first, they thought it was a coincidence.

But the next second, more and more customers kept coming in to eat.

One, two, three, a few could be coincidental, but what about several tables?

[Is the sister really that amazing? Is she born under the sign of the Fortune Cat?]

[I can only say one thing, this is truly mystical.]

[Mommy, this is too magical.]

[My family also runs a restaurant, I want to learn Miss Jin Luo's Inviting Wealth gesture.]

The replies quickly followed: [Go back and try it; if it really brings wealth, remember to come back and kick us too.]

Online fans quickly surrendered to the inexplicably comfortable aura emanating from Jin Luo and the mysticism of Inviting Wealth, and the haters could find no grounds to criticize her, finally turning from black to fans as time went on.

After Jin Luo's team got first place for the second time,

some of Chen Fei's fans started to complain: [Isn't the Program Team biased? Jin Luo's team definitely has a script.]

[Anyway, I don't think they have a script; Jin Luo naturally carries a lucky aura.]

[I also think so, it's just very mystical in any case.]

As the show progressed, the netizens' perception of Jin Luo improved more and more.

And when Jin Luo fished out a small statue made of real gold, the live feed went wild.

[Damn, what kind of luck is this? She actually found that.]

The viewers watched as Jin Luo personally retrieved a statue made of pure gold from inside a river clam, and they were utterly astounded.

[Could she really be the reincarnation of the God of Wealth?]

[More like the Fortune Cat, right?]

[This is too mystical.]

After two episodes of the food variety show, the trending searches were all about Jin Luo.

#Jin Luo, the Reincarnation of the Fortune Cat?#

#Jin Luo's Mystical Physique#

#Famous Gold Statue Found in River Clam on Culinary Competition#

Thanks to Jin Luo's presence, this once-passé culinary show shot up to the top of the trending searches, dominating headlines across major forums.

Even the recently popular variety shows were bumped down from the hot searches.

The directors of the food variety show knew that these two episodes would be a hit, but they hadn't expected them to be this explosive.

They had, by accident or fate, invited Jin Luo, and she had turned their fortunes around.

[Ahh! Why are there only two episodes to watch? I want to continue watching; it's a pleasure to see Miss Jin Luo on shows.]

[It seems like Jin Luo is only a guest star, not a regular cast member.]

[Then, for the next food variety show, the Program Team must continue to invite Miss Jin Luo, please, sob…]

Those who previously said they wouldn't watch her show ended up getting slapped in the face.

And Chen Fei, who was supposed to shine in this program, instantly faded into obscurity.

Not only that, she had even been caught on camera unable to control her jealous expression towards Jin Luo, which ended up trending on social media.

In the program, Chen Fei targeted Jin Luo at every turn, with hidden implications and cunning in her words.

Her loyal fans started to unfollow her en masse, their disappointment in her this time was too much.

Thinking back, they had even specifically gone to Jin Luo's live stream to pay for fake comments to diss her for Chen Fei's sake.

But as it turned out, a truly outstanding person would always shine eventually.

No matter what, they couldn't deny Jin Luo's excellence.

Inside Gu's studio, Jiang Chang called, excitedly saying, "Bro, where did you dig up such a treasure? She made that tired old food variety show popular again, and now the directors there want Jin Luo to keep doing the food variety show, she can name her price."

"Picked her up."

Jiang Chang was taken aback for a moment, "...Your luck is really good."

"Regardless, after she became famous, our studio's life has been much less difficult, and our reputation has spread. We even have the funds to expand the studio now."

Li Xiaolei and Chen Yousheng both had Jin Luo's contact number, and after seeing the great success of her food variety show's premiere, they called her one by one to share the good news.

"Sister Jin Luo, I knew you would make it big," Li Xiaolei said happily.

With her newfound popularity, Jin Luo's value soared. Previously she couldn't even get an engagement, but now major directors were seeking her out for collaborations.

The head of Banana Platform saw her make a comeback in a food variety show and started to get restless.

He hurriedly changed his phone number and called her, "Jin Luo, I spoke too harshly the other day. Banana Platform really values your talent. If you're willing to come back, you can choose whatever resources you want here, and as for President Liu, I'll send someone to apologize to you on his behalf."

But Jin Luo responded, "You again? You're so annoying." With that, she hung up the phone.

"..."

The head of the platform called again, this time threatening her, "Don't think just because you had a little success with some washed-up variety show you can act like this. In the entertainment industry, there are too many one-hit wonders. If the higher-ups want you gone, you won't be able to stay in this industry!"

He thought Jin Luo would be intimidated by his words, but the next second, she hung up again and blocked his number.

The head of the platform, "..."

Unperturbed by his anger, Jin Luo remained unaffected.

Living in her shabby house, Jin Luo felt refreshed and clear-headed. She hadn't let the head's words get to her.

She had made a good profit from her live stream sales the day before, and as a token of appreciation, the merchant had given her lots of dried fish.

Her fridge was stuffed with the dried fish she loved. She was just sorting through it when her phone rang again.

Thinking it was that annoying head of the platform, she didn't even answer and hung up directly.

Then, over at Gu's studio, Gu Jinshen looked at his phone that had been hung up on, "..."

Jiang Chang, witnessing this, commented with a chuckle, "Miss Jin Luo must be busy."

"Probably busy eating dried fish," Gu Jinshen could imagine her rifling through the fridge for dried fish.

Jiang Chang was taken aback by his remark.

Gu Jinshen called her again, only to be hung up on once more.

Jiang Chang couldn't help but say, "Miss Jin Luo wouldn't be getting a big head from her newfound fame, would she?" He was still aware of her past scandals.

"She wouldn't," said Gu Jinshen.

"Then why isn't she answering your calls?" Jiang Chang asked.

"She must be busy."

Jiang Chang, "..."

Gu Jinshen called several more times, and finally, she answered. Upon realizing it was him, Jin Luo quickly said, "Oh, it's the boss. I thought it was that annoying person calling again."
