The era of top influencers that started with illiteracy

Chapter 67: Only the house is real!

On stage, Shen Jian stood with a flamboyant posture.

The audience below the stage watched with fervent admiration.

They all shouted for us to continue.

Shen Jian sighed: "See, that's why everyone says married men have the best lives. Their wives are always chasing after them to play games and dungeons. How blissful!"

*Pfft~~~*

"ha……"

Shen Jian: "However, although I have only known my agent for less than half a year, I really think he is a very good person and has a kind heart."

The first time I went with him to a promotional event, we went to a local shopping mall at night and happened to see a mother pushing a stroller with a little boy inside.

Whenever a woman peeks at him, he laughs and kicks his legs.

You can even see tiny little ones, they're so incredibly cute.

When my agent saw this, he liked it very much, went up to chat with him, praised the child a couple of times, and then wanted to play with him.

Suddenly, the child stopped laughing.

My agent is worried, why isn't he happy?

Then he reached out and flicked the little bean.

I was right next to him at the time, and I could clearly see the child's face flash by an expression of utter disgust.

Then it seemed like a voice came out of the child's mouth: "I'm teasing my mom, are you kidding me?!"

"ah!!!"

"Depend on!"

"Hahaha!"

"Europe!!!"

The audience went wild.

My initial listlessness had completely vanished.

The atmosphere changed imperceptibly.

Shen Jian's vivid and expressive performance brought it to the forefront.

Shen Jian: "Actually, my manager is a very thoughtful and romantic person. You can tell from the fact that he was able to marry my sister-in-law, really."

You might not know, but my sister-in-law is twelve years older than my agent! And she owns six more houses, cough.

"Hahaha!"

Shen Jian: "But when he was young, he resolutely chose to marry his sister-in-law."

I asked her then, "Didn't you consider that you two might not be a good match? After all, she's so much older than you."

My agent shook his head at the time, and said it very seriously:

The first reason isn't that your sister-in-law is old, but that I missed her prime. I should use my youth to make up for it; this is a debt I owe her.

She simply used her youth to see the road ahead for me, and twelve years later she came back to tell me that the road ahead would be smooth.

So I had no reason to refuse; I had to dedicate my youth to her—it was what I should do.

"Holy crap, hahaha!"

"Wow! Absolutely a master!"

"I'd like to meet your agent!"

"Damn it, I don't want to try anymore."

"I want to become your apprentice! Haha!"

『Nurture~~~~~~~~~』

Before we knew it.

The atmosphere at the entire show felt like it was back in the morning.

Everyone laughed along with him.

The volume of his laughter was significantly higher than that of Wang Xinbo in front of him.

This seems to indicate that the outcome of the match is already decided.

Actually, the two jokes are quite similar, both using the introduction of people and events around them as the storyline.

The former's items were even slightly more sophisticated, not as vulgar as Shen Jian's.

However, stand-up comedy needs both content and performance elements, each accounting for 50%.

Wang Xinbo achieved the first fifty points, while Shen Jian, although his initial score was not high, maxed out the last fifty.

The performance was masterful, with perfect expression, emotion, accent, and tone.

Even though the agent's story is fictional, it still gives the audience a sense of realism, as if that person were not far away from them.

It starts with meat dishes and ends with spicy food.

Shen Jian: "Alright everyone, that's enough about my manager's past. I really can't say any more, since he and my sister-in-law don't have any children."

If I keep talking, and they see it on the show, they'll definitely file for divorce, and then it'll be even harder to have children.

Of course, from my perspective, it's not necessarily true that you need children to be happy; there's scientific evidence to support this.

I may not be highly educated, but I have a lot of experience. Just look at that—all delicious fruits are seedless!

"You... hahaha!"

"Pfft~ That works!"

"Oh my god!!!"

"Yo~!!!"

The scene was filled with laughter.

The applause was continuous.

At this moment, Yang Tianzhen, Meng Ziyi, Guo Qilin, and others in the guest seats had already been amused and pressed their buzzers.

The host, Pang Bo, took the stage, briefly controlled the situation, and then turned the conversation to the guests.

"Wow, Shen Jian's jokes are really witty! I'm not sleepy anymore, right, Sister Meng?"

"Ah... goose goose goose~~~~." Meng Ziyi blushed as red as an apple when she was suddenly asked the question, and just lowered her head, covered her face, and laughed wildly.

Guo Qilin: "Sister Meng, Sister Meng! I'm asking you."

Meng Ziyi: "Oh dear, wait...wait a minute."

Guo Qilin: "Oh, so you mean you understood all of Shen Jian's jokes? To be honest, I didn't understand them all. I'm a simple person too."

"Hahaha!"

"Education!!"

The audience was amused by Guo Qilin.

Meng Ziyi pretended to hit him, but eventually recovered and said, "Ouch."

Pangbo: "How are you, Sister Meng? Are you feeling better?"

Meng Ziyi nodded: "Yes, much better."

Pangbo: "Then give me your opinion on Shen Jian."

Meng Ziyi: "Hmm, I think Shen Jian's part is... hahaha, I've met his manager, oh my god, I can't take it~ hahaha."

Meng Ziyi couldn't stop laughing, but she casually cast her vote for Shen Jian from the voting machine next to her.

Pang Bo looked helplessly at Yang Tianzhen and said, "President Yang, why don't you speak? I think you are the most qualified to speak on this."

Yang Tianzhen: "First of all, I am not his agent."

The audience laughed.

Dapeng: "Is it my turn?"

Pangbo: "Yes, that's right, it's your turn, Director Dapeng."

Da Peng: "I'll say it again, Shen Jian, your 'deadly performance'... I'm sorry, I'm not insulting you, but I really can't think of any other adjective. But your 'deadly performance' is just too perfect for comedy. If you have the chance, I hope you can shine over there too."

Shen Jian: "Thank you, Director Dapeng."

Pangbo: "Alright, now that the guests have finished their comments, let's move on to the final voting round. Let's see if Shen Jian can hold onto his top eight spot, or if Wang Xinbo will pull off a comeback. Let's begin voting!"

The same steps, the same methods.

And then the big screen lit up.

It seems that most people weren't too surprised.

Shen Jian 178 votes / VS Wang Xinbo 169 votes

"Oh dear, the vote count is very close this time, but it's still just a little bit short. But it also shows that the two of you have brought a high-quality and intense showdown. Let's give you both a round of applause!"

Wang Xinbo's fate is uncertain, but congratulations to Shen Jian for successfully defending his title!

We'll determine the final eight tomorrow. See you in the final!

With a powerful narration.

Today's recording has come to a successful conclusion.

...

The car was driving back to Jiu.

The atmosphere felt a little strange.

Lin Youyou and the others dared not speak.

Only Yang Tianzhen patted Liangmu on the shoulder and said earnestly, "I didn't know you knew such a romantic word as 'flowering season'."

Liang Mu was completely dumbfounded: "President Yang, you actually believed this kid's nonsense? The twelve-year age difference is fake, and it's not six houses at all, it's seven..."

Shen Jian: "Holy crap!"

Yang Tianzhen: "!!!"

Lin Youyou: "!!!"

Li Si: "!!!"

Zhang Shan: "!!!"
