A great director who grew up happily

Chapter 462 Ancient Mythical Beast 9 Leaked Fish

"Brother Honglei, how can you continue the family line? Your family doesn't want to inherit the throne." Chen Jinnian complained.

"Well, as the saying goes, there are three types of unfilial behavior, and the worst is to have no offspring. If I don't marry, where will my children come from? I'm unfilial."

Chen Jinnian quickly interrupted him, "Brother Honglei, please don't mislead the audience. Mencius was worried about whether you had children or not. He was thinking about governing the country and pacifying the world. He was a saint. Do you think she's just some idle auntie at the village entrance, nagging about family matters and urging you to have children every day?"

"Mencius's reference to 'no descendants' doesn't mean no offspring, but rather a failure to fulfill the responsibilities and expectations of future generations. He doesn't mention children at all."

"That's impossible. These are all passed down by the elders." Hong Lei blinked his eyes and looked at Huang Bo in confusion. "Could it be that we in the Northeast passed it down incorrectly? Um, how do you in Shandong explain the saying that having no descendants is the greatest misfortune?"

Huang Bo bluntly retorted, "Aren't Shandong and Northeast China one family? Are you stupid?"

In fact, he didn't know what "no descendants" meant specifically, but he was smarter than Honglei and chose to avoid talking about it.

Hong Lei was just a stubborn person who wanted to find out who was wrong, so he grabbed Chen Jinnian's arm and asked him to give an explanation.

"What's the point of looking for me? Go find Zhao Qi. He's the one who distorted Mencius's meaning and made up the idea that not having offspring is unfilial."

When Hong Lei heard that there was really someone there, he immediately became excited, "Where is Zhao Qi? I want to ask him in person."

"In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he lived in the Eastern Han Dynasty and has been dead for 1,800 years. Forget about asking him in person. Even if all the archaeologists in the country were to combine and find his tomb and meet him, it would be a struggle."

Chen Jinnian tried hard to shake off Hong Lei, but the opponent's grip was quite strong, no wonder he was a professional villain.

"Oh, oh, it's the ancients." Hong Lei finally realized, "Then why is he making random explanations instead of just working properly?"

"He lived in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. The social ethos at the time was to rule the world with filial piety and to select filial and honest people. Zhao Qi grew up in that environment and was inevitably influenced by it, leading him to distort Mencius's original intentions by adding his own personal opinions."

"Ah? Didn't you say it was from the Three Kingdoms period? How did it become the Eastern Han Dynasty?"

After hearing the question, Chen Jinnian looked at Honglei with an extremely awkward expression. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether Brother Honglei really didn't use his brain or was just creating a character for the show.

He turned and looked at the three cameramen crowded in the hallway behind him. "Wait a minute, let me interrupt. If the editor hears what I said, please cut out the question that Brother Honglei just asked. Don't show it. It makes Brother Honglei look like a fool."

"What is the Nine-Leaked Fish?" Hong Lei continued to ask with a frown.

And this time, even Huang Bo, who was helping, didn't react to what Chen Jinnian was talking about.

"You don't know?" Chen Jinnian asked in confusion, and then realized that there was no Jiuluoyu joke yet.

"Stop talking nonsense and speak quickly, otherwise I will give you a good beating today." Hong Lei rolled up his sleeves and walked up with a grin.

Huang Bo saw that he couldn't do anything, so he immediately pretended to be Hong Lei's henchman, surrounded Chen Jinnian from the side, and forced him to the corner of the stairwell.

Chen Jinnian originally wanted to cooperate with the two people's performance, but Honglei was too focused when he was going down the stairs. He didn't pay attention to the steps under his feet and accidentally stepped on empty air and almost fell.

"Hahahahahahaha." Chen Jinnian burst out laughing.

"Don't laugh, hold it back. Didn't I ask you to laugh?" Huang Bo said ferociously.

Chen Jinnian tried hard to hold back his laughter, but when he saw Huang Bo's face, he couldn't hold it back anymore with a "puff", and his laughter echoed throughout the entire corridor.

After hearing the unbridled laughter, Huang Bo opened his mouth and tried to control himself, but finally failed and started laughing as well.

Honglei was even worse off. The stumble he made when he missed a step just now made him laugh so hard that he still can't stop smiling.

The two of them simply rushed forward without any pretense, holding Chen Jinnian on the left and right.

"Tell me quickly, what is a nine-leaky fish?"

"Yes, tell me now. Look how angry your uncle Honglei is."

"You are the uncle." Hong Lei smiled and pushed the mean Huang Bo, then continued to question Chen Jinnian.

Huang Bo didn't get angry either, and continued to tease him in a frivolous manner, "You really can't call him uncle, you have to call him grandpa. You're older than his dad, so calling him uncle isn't appropriate."

Under the repeated abuse of the two men, Chen Jinnian could only make up stories on the spot.

"The Nine-Leaked Fish is an ancient mythical beast, mentioned in the Great Wilderness North Classic of the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Beyond the Northwest Sea, north of the Red River, lies Zhangwei Mountain. There lives a beast with a human face and a unicorn body, a fish body. It is adept at swimming, capable of traveling 800 miles a day. It can also speak, uttering a single word every nine years. This is called the Nine-Leaked Fish, and it tastes delicious. Eating it can cause obstacles in the minds of those who are wise."

Honglei was really frightened by his endless stream of words and let Chen Jinnian go.

But the more Huang Bo thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. It seemed like he had never heard of such a mythical beast before.

Seeing that he had escaped, Chen Jinnian hurriedly said, "The production team wants to kill three warriors with two peaches. I am not talented enough, so I am willing to hand over the opportunity. I am leaving now."

After saying this, he rushed down the stairs. Even his cameraman didn't have time to react before he disappeared into the corridor.

The reason why Chen Jinnian walked so quickly was because Huang Bo was here.

He can scare Honglei, but he definitely can't scare Huang Bo. Once the other party figures it out, he will definitely come after him.

"Hey, why is Jinnian running so fast? He doesn't want his wife anymore."

"Idiot, you don't even know people are teasing you, and you're laughing without a care in the world."

Huang Bo had already figured it out by now. The Nine-Leaked Fish and the ancient mythical beast were all Chen Jinnian's nonsense. The other party could easily make up a script and talk about some nonsense without any hesitation.

"Ah?" Honglei still hadn't reacted.

Huang Bo said with disgust, "Eating this fish can cause even the most intelligent to become mentally retarded. Don't you understand what I mean? I'm telling you, eating this fish will make you mentally retarded. Oh, what's wrong with your brain? You've been recording the show with Huang Lei for three years, and you haven't improved at all."

Honglei was just slow in thinking, but he was not stupid at all. He immediately rolled up his sleeves and went to settle the score with Chen Jinnian.

Huang Bo saw this and stood by with his hands behind his back, watching the show, and just gave a light reminder.

"Do you still want a wife?"

"I……"

Honglei looked at the stairs below, then looked up at the dormitory manager, and had to roll up his sleeves. The world is big, but his wife is the most important. Even if he is recording a show, he cannot be single.

But Chen Jinnian didn't care about that. After running down from the dormitory building, he took his life account book and went to find the program report.

Yan Min couldn't do it directly. This episode of Extreme Challenge was added temporarily without any sufficient contingency plan. Now Chen Jinnian is looking for a job without dating. The production team has never thought about this.

Even the staff acting as NPC was confused and turned to look at Yan Min.

Their previous plan was to deduct the corresponding time grids in the life account book according to the order of the reports. Those who had not found a partner should come last and have the most time grids deducted as punishment.

Now Chen Jinnian is not participating in the competition, and he just runs over to ask him to deduct grid points. He doesn’t know how many grid points he should deduct.

The staff and Yan Min stared at each other in a stalemate.
