After Transmigrating as a Scumbag Alpha, I Ended Up with the Movie Queen - Chapter 33

The deafening song echoed through the narrow space of the RV.

The corner of Peng Yushu’s mouth twitched as he shouted, “Gu Nan, do you… believe in Buddhism?”

“No. I believe in socialism. I am a successor of socialism, and the red scarf on my chest is extremely bright red,” Gu Nan shouted back. Her hands were still swiftly slicing pork belly as she reported the menu to them. “Today, I’ll let you all try one of my signature dishes: braised pork belly. Then I’ll make tomato-braised beef brisket too. What soup do you want? How about winter melon meatball soup? There’s still some minced meat here.”

“If it’s all meat, shouldn’t we make some vegetables too?”

Bai Rui did not shout when she spoke. She used her normal volume, so her voice was completely drowned out by the song.

Gu Nan did not hear what Bai Rui said at all and continued processing the meat ingredients.

Bai Rui had no choice but to destroy her image a little. Half sincerely and half mockingly, she shouted, “Xiao Nan, your phone’s volume is really good.”

Only then did Gu Nan hear her. Without turning her head, she shouted, “Of course. This phone is produced by a phone company under our Gu Group. The quality is absolutely guaranteed.”

At this point, Gu Nan put down the knife, washed her hands, raised her phone toward the camera, and said very seriously, “Here, I would like to make an advertisement and promote this phone under our Gu Group.”

“This phone is extremely resistant to falls. Even if it’s smashed against a wall and the screen shatters into eighteen pieces, it can still keep being used. Also, you’ve all now experienced the sound quality of this phone. After turning the volume to the highest setting, you can also switch to MAX mode, satisfying customers who need an even louder speaker volume. Anyway, to sum it up: buying it is definitely not a loss!”

After making this advertisement, Gu Nan tossed the phone back to continue charging, while she continued cooking.

Bai Rui: …

What was I about to say just now?

Maybe it wasn’t important. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have forgotten it so quickly.

Forget it. I won’t think about it anymore. If I remember, I’ll have to keep speaking at the top of my lungs, and my throat hurts.

[Ah, help! What the hell is this? Demon monk, hurry and withdraw your divine powers.]

[My native language is speechlessness. Move your phone farther away. Don’t put it so close to the mic. It’s even more ear-shattering!]

[Gu Nan confidently gave Shen Zhibei a look that said “leave everything to me.” Although nothing went wrong, I still feel like something is strange. Dead-fish eyes.]

[I wanted to hear what they were saying, so I turned the volume to max. Now I can hear them talking, but my ears are almost deafened by the music too. Wuwuwu.]

[Help, what is Gu Nan saying? What are the others saying? I can’t hear anything. My ears are full of “Namo Amitabha” now.]

[Are there any gods here? Can someone make a cut and remove all the background noise so we can hear what they’re saying?]

While the livestream bullet comments were full of wailing, the chief director and the others were outside frantically pounding on the door, trying to make them open it.

Thanks to the song being extremely loud, the knocking became no more than a drizzle, and everyone completely ignored it.

Moreover, to resist the high-decibel song coming from Gu Nan’s phone, everyone who had earphones started putting them in, making the chief director’s knocking outside even less obvious.

After exhausting herself knocking, the chief director planted her hands on her hips and panted. “Next episode. Next episode, I will absolutely let them know how powerful the production team is.”

At this moment, Tang Ling finally found a pack of new towels and shouted, “Found them! We can all shower now!”

“We can finally be comfortable for a bit. That really wasn’t easy.” Peng Yushu also shouted in reply.

Peng Yushu had already used his high-note singing technique, so his throat did not hurt. But the others could not stand always shouting like this.

At this time, Shen Zhibei also came out of the shower room, wiping her still-dripping hair.

“Who’s washing next? Are you afraid of the water sounds being heard? Anyway, I’m not afraid,” Tang Ling shouted.

“I’m not afraid either.” ×2

Bai Rui actually wanted to say she was a little shy too, but after seeing everyone else say they were not afraid, she fell silent.

Peng Yushu had an expression that said public opinion was clearly like this. “See? Everyone says that. So hurry and turn off your music.”

Gu Nan was still cutting vegetables. Seeing Shen Zhibei come out of the shower room, she shouted, “Zhibei, help me turn it off.”

Shen Zhibei had already endured it for a long time while showering. Hearing this, she immediately swiped Gu Nan’s music app away from the background.

The long-lost peace finally returned.

[Wuwuwu, Sister, you are my god. You finally stopped that intoxicating sound.]

[It finally stopped. I had muted it just now. If not for you all saying so in the bullet comments, I wouldn’t even know the music had stopped.]

[Lick screen, lick screen, lick screen. Sister fresh out of the bath is so beautiful.]

[I had already stopped criticizing Gu Nan, but now it seems I still need to blacken her with all my strength. Hateful Gu Nan, what you owe me—what are you going to use to repay it?!]

[These people, aside from Teacher Peng and Shen Zhibei, who just came out of the shower, will probably all have different degrees of hoarseness. When you all speak with hoarse voices later, remember this clearly: it is all Gu Nan’s sin!]

After Shen Zhibei dried herself a little and tied up her wet hair, she came over to help Gu Nan rinse rice and cut vegetables.

The small kitchen built into the RV was very close to the vehicle door, so Gu Nan could hear the knocking better than the others.

At this moment, she smiled and told Shen Zhibei about the production team’s impotent rage. “They knocked for so long, but we didn’t pay them any attention. They only stopped just before you came out. They’re probably exhausted.”

Not long after she said this, a few heavy knocks came from the door again.

The sudden knocks made Shen Zhibei jump, but she immediately calmed down.

“Looks like the production team has someone watching the livestream room. Whatever we say, they know immediately.” Only now did Gu Nan react.

Peng Yushu had already begun speaking to the camera. “Stop knocking. Even if you keep knocking, we won’t go out.”

The RV door was hit heavily a few more times. This time, the chief director’s shouting also came through.

“Come out! Come out if you dare!”

“What? If we go out, are you going to fight us to the death?” Gu Nan deliberately twisted the chief director’s meaning. “That won’t do. You have so many people. Could it be that you want to bully the few with the many?”

The chief director was so angry at Gu Nan’s words that she nearly died. “Gu Nan, why is it that any normal direction becomes strange once it reaches you? Can’t you reflect on yourself?”

“I’m reflecting, I’m reflecting. I reflect every day. I even reflect on behalf of others.” Whatever popped into Gu Nan’s mind, she directly said it, without thinking at all.

Shen Zhibei could no longer hold back her laughter. “Right, I can testify. Gu Nan reflects every day. I’ve seen it.”

The chief director had completely not expected that Shen Zhibei, who had always cooperated well with the production team’s work, would also say this.

“Teacher Shen, what did you just say?”

The RV’s small kitchen happened to face a window. The chief director hurried to the window and asked Shen Zhibei to look into her eyes and say it again.

Naturally, Shen Zhibei chose to ignore the chief director’s little gaze.

Inside the RV, there was delicious food tempting them, electric appliances to use, and the hot water and electricity would not be cut off. With conditions this good, why would they go out?

Seeing that Shen Zhibei completely ignored the chief director, Gu Nan also made a waving gesture, then pulled down the curtain, cutting off the chief director’s line of sight.

The chief director, whose view had been mercilessly cut off by Gu Nan, stood with her hands on her hips and began thinking about what to do next.

At this moment, the chief director had absolutely no idea that the so-called “backstabbing” she was about to experience would not only come from Shen Zhibei.

Because the bullet comments had started saying they wanted to see the chief director’s expression, and these bullet comments were increasing. The staff member in charge of observing the livestream room saw that the chief director was busy, so they mentioned it to several assistant directors.

After discussing it, the assistant directors felt that doing this did indeed seem like it could increase viewership, so they had the cameraman outside quietly aim the camera at the chief director.

[Woohoo, the chief director is about to debut.]

[This wave of backstabbing from colleagues is very on point. (doge)]

[Beautifully done. Unfortunately, it’s still a bit late. We didn’t get to see the chief director’s expression when the Nanbei wife-wives teamed up to land a critical hit on her.]

[Anger, forced laughter, anger to the point of beating her chest. Whether I can see these expressions on the chief director depends on how all the brothers and sisters perform!]

Gu Nan had already finished making the braised pork belly and placed it on the small table. Now she was making tomato-braised beef brisket. The small RV was currently filled with the rich aroma of meat.

Smelling this tempting aroma, no one wanted to move. They were all waiting to comfortably start eating after showering.

“Come, come, follow me.”

Peng Yushu felt the critical hit Gu Nan and Shen Zhibei had dealt the chief director was not deep enough, so he called the camera over and walked toward the over-cab bed above the driver’s seat.

Carefully tidying up the various things placed on the bed, he lay down on it and said to the camera, “Director, going out? It’s impossible for us to go out right now.”

Peng Yushu rolled around on the bed and continued, “Look at how happily we’re living in the RV right now. Doesn’t this completely go against your original intention?”

The chief director was provoked by Peng Yushu directly stabbing at her sore spot and had already begun shouting through the megaphone.

“Do you still want the benefits for next episode or not?”

Tang Ling had also finished showering and come out of the shower room. Hearing this, he immediately leaned over. “We’ve already enjoyed half of it. Even if we go out now, won’t your basic policy for next episode still be to mess with us? We might as well continue enjoying ourselves. We can talk about next episode when it comes.”

The chief director had nothing to say. She said resentfully, “Just you wait until next episode!”

“Director, have you watched cartoons? Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf?” Gu Nan simmered the tomato beef brisket over a low flame, then began stir-frying cumin lamb slices. “There’s a famous line Big Big Wolf says every time he exits in that cartoon. Do you know what it is?”

The chief director was in her forties and had basically never watched cartoons, so she had no idea what Gu Nan was talking about.

Shen Zhibei was also not very clear about this young people’s stuff, so she asked on behalf of the chief director, “What is it?”

“Big Big Wolf says, ‘Remember this. I’ll be back!’” Gu Nan imitated Big Big Wolf’s tone as she said this classic line.

Bai Rui and Tang Ling were close in age to Gu Nan and had grown up watching cartoons, so they immediately knew what Gu Nan meant and burst out laughing.

Shen Zhibei, however, only felt the generation gap. She completely did not understand what they were laughing at and could only ask Gu Nan again, “What does that mean?”

“It means that what the chief director just said was like Big Big Wolf in the cartoon. Every time he’s defeated, he says he’ll come back next time, but next time, he’ll still be defeated again.”

Hearing Gu Nan’s explanation from the livestream room, the chief director was so angry that she almost fell backward. She raised the megaphone and said, “How do you know I’ll fail again in my next confrontation with you? Our production team will definitely win!”

“So this is the howl of a defeated dog. Usually, I only see it in cartoons. I can’t believe I’m seeing it in real life now,” Tang Ling sighed from the side.

Gu Nan and Bai Rui, both veteran cartoon watchers, nodded directly.

The chief director became even angrier, but she had no solution. She could only hold onto the thought of annoying these irritating guests to death and start knocking continuously on the vehicle door again.

Shen Zhibei had no resonance with these topics she had never seen and did not understand, so she only focused on the work in her hands.

Gu Nan noticed this too, and then said something that she would later regret deeply. “When we get home, I’ll watch some cartoons with you. Then you’ll understand our young people’s memes.”

Shen Zhibei raised her head and looked at Gu Nan. A smile slowly appeared at the corners of her lips. “Oh. All right.”

But her inner thoughts were: Ah, how irritating. This person actually dares make sarcastic comments about my age.

The moment Gu Nan saw Shen Zhibei’s smile, a chill ran through her body. She quickly lowered her head and cooked, not daring to speak anymore.

[The chief director’s impotent rage can only turn into knocking on the door, hahaha. This should be the first time in variety-show history where the guests have controlled the chief director like this, right? This is praise, no insult intended.]

[We’ve become the communication bridge between the guests and the production team. This is a very heavy responsibility. Serious face.]

[I’m laughing to death. Gu Nan actually dared tell Shen Zhibei “our young people’s memes.” I think this is a meme called courting death.]

[At first, seeing Gu Nan’s mouthiness anger the chief director made me pretty happy. I never expected she’d get too smooth with it and directly say something like that to her own wife. Simply BIG bold.]

[She’s dead for sure. Not even Jesus can keep her. I said so. (doge)]

[Actually, Gu Nan still has some sense of crisis. Didn’t you see? The moment she saw the Film Empress smiling, she immediately tucked her tail and behaved.]

After a period of busyness, they could finally eat soon.

“There’s only one stir-fried green vegetable left, and then everything is done. You can start serving the soup. The stewed beef brisket can be brought up too. Oh, the rice is done too. You can serve it.” Gu Nan washed the pot and began preparing to stir-fry the final dish. “Set the table, set the table. We can eat very soon.”

“You go shower. I’ll stir-fry the last green vegetable. It’s only a matter of a few minutes.” Shen Zhibei took the spatula from Gu Nan’s hand.

“Okay.” Gu Nan very readily let go, picked up her towel, and went to shower.

From her cutting alone, one could tell Shen Zhibei’s cooking skills were definitely not poor. This time was a good chance to try her cooking.

Once they finally had unlimited electricity, Tang Ling and Lu Xuehai had teamed up and played several rounds of games, soothing Tang Ling’s gaming addiction very well.

At this moment, hearing Gu Nan say they could start preparing to eat, Tang Ling, who was already starving, tossed away his phone and began setting bowls, chopsticks, rice, and dishes with Lu Xuehai, their movements quick and nimble.

“The RV space is too small, so don’t move around. Brother Xuehai and I can do it.”

Bai Rui had originally wanted to help. Hearing Tang Ling say this, she sat back down and continued working on her own matter.

She actually had not expected that after only two days of not touching her phone, her fans had already fought with Shen Zhibei’s fans, Gu Nan’s fans, and the two women’s CP fans. At present, the flames of war had still not stopped and were still spreading across Big-Eye.

So at this moment, she was busy communicating with her manager and fan support club president, racing against time to solve this problem before getting out of the RV.

Peng Yushu had long since come down from the over-cab bed. Hearing Tang Ling say this, he did not go over to carry things and instead began looking for seats.

The RV space was too small. The folding table by the sofa could seat four people if they squeezed in on both sides, but where would the remaining two sit?

Peng Yushu was looking for those seats.

In the end, he took two boxes of bottled water to use as chairs and barely gathered six seats.

Shen Zhibei had already finished stir-frying the final green vegetable and placed it on the table.

The folding table by the sofa was already packed full just from the dishes. Their rice bowls could not even fit and had to be held in their hands.

Looking at the fragrant dishes filling the table and smelling the aroma but not being able to eat was truly inhumane. Fortunately, Gu Nan showered quickly and soon came out.

Seeing everyone looking at her eagerly, Gu Nan quickly sat in the empty seat left for her.

“Everyone is here. Let’s eat.” Peng Yushu said smugly, “I wonder whether the chief director got to eat.”

The moment he said this, ruthless knocking sounded from outside again.

“Hearing their knocking makes me think this meal was stolen from the production team’s hands, and it seems to taste even better.” Gu Nan picked up a piece of beef brisket and ate it beautifully with rice.

“That’s right, that’s right. Come!” Peng Yushu raised his bottle of mineral water. “Let us toast to the production team’s selfless contribution.”

“Yes, selfless contribution.” The others also laughingly repeated the phrase and raised their bottles of mineral water to clink.

[Report! The chief director is about to turn into fireworks from anger.]

[This is killing the person and stabbing the heart. This is truly killing and stabbing the heart.]

[Selfless contribution, my foot. You clearly robbed them, hahahaha.]

[Teacher Peng and Gu Nan really cooperate so well. Several times now, it’s been the two of them coordinating to deliver the final blow to others. One look and you can tell they’re veteran mouth-cannon players.]

[No need to be so tactful. They’re just mouthy. Old Peng’s mouthiest years are on record. He once angered a Heavenly King surnamed Wang so much that the other party declared on Big-Eye that he was cutting ties with him. As his fans, we’re used to it. I just didn’t expect that on this show, there would be someone on par with him who could support him like this.]

[I’m already looking forward to next episode. This episode was already this bitter, but the production team still got countered by the guests. Next episode, the chief director will absolutely think of ways to get revenge on these guests. Otherwise, where will her authority be? Hahahahaha.]

After finishing this meal, everyone had to begin thinking about what would happen after they walked out of the RV.

No matter how much they played rogue, they could not truly spend the night here. After all, their things were all in the small building.

After eating and drinking their fill and resting enough, the group got out of the RV one by one.

“Oh, you finally all came out.”

The chief director stood in front of the RV with her arms crossed, looking at them and speaking in a cool tone.

“Aiya, Xiao Nan, when we go back, you and Zhibei should come to my home together. I’ll treat you to something delicious then.” Peng Yushu acted as if he had not seen the chief director. He held Gu Nan with his left hand and Shen Zhibei with his right, then walked toward the slope.

With Peng Yushu taking the lead, the others also acted as if they had not seen the chief director and started talking along the topic Peng Yushu had raised.

“Teacher Peng, can’t we go too? You only invited Xiao Nan and Sister Zhibei,” Bai Rui said, pretending to be dissatisfied.

“How could that be? Whoever wants to come can come. Everyone can gather together.”

The chief director looked at these people who acted as if they had not seen her and directly walked past her. She laughed from anger, but she did not say anything.

During the past few hours, she had already revised the entire plan for the next episode and had begun rearranging things.

She was just waiting for the guests to arrive next episode so she could give them a “big surprise.”

Next episode, she would definitely let them know that the production team would absolutely not be like Big Big Wolf, fighting and losing, losing and fighting again!
