Tycoon Stepdad's Popularity (Part-1)

21 (ii)

He Nian's eyes widened in shock.

What?

Matsutake mushrooms?!

Lin Yi actually picked matsutake mushrooms??

Although He Nian had never seen matsutake mushrooms in person, he had heard of them, and his face turned pale.

He had just looked down on the mushrooms Lin Yi had picked, never expecting them to be valuable matsutake mushrooms.

Thinking about his earlier comments, He Nian felt so unsteady he could barely stand.

This time, he had really embarrassed himself!

Finally, everyone had finished examining Lin Yi's matsutake mushrooms.

Then the director said, "These matsutake mushrooms Lin Yi picked are worth at least a thousand yuan! I hereby announce that he is the winner of this competition!!"

Lin Yi wasn't particularly concerned about winning first place; his main goal was simply to bring Huo Mianmian out to experience mushroom picking.

After all, before participating in the show, he had promised Huo Mianmian that he would take him mushroom picking, and now he had fulfilled that promise.

Compared to Lin Yi's relaxed demeanor, He Nian was completely stunned beside him.

He had originally planned to win first place and crush Lin Yi, but instead, he had suffered a humiliating defeat.

Worse still, he had exposed his ignorance of matsutake mushrooms in front of the cameras.

Not knowing what matsutake mushrooms look like isn't usually something to criticize, as not everyone is a mushroom expert. However, he had previously cultivated an image of being well-read and knowledgeable, only to be harshly humiliated now.

"Hahaha, how satisfying! Look at He Nian's pale face."

"Wasn't he acting so arrogantly just now? Why isn't he continuing?"

"Haha, He Nian always claimed in interviews that he loves reading and even had staged photos of him reading on set. Now he's been exposed."

"Actually, no one cares whether he knows what matsutake mushrooms are or not; it's just that he acted too smug in front of Lin Yi, which is why people can't stand him."

"He Nian's fans, where are you? Come defend him!"

"After so many incidents, most of He Nian's fans must have left by now."

"Hahaha, he might start hiring fake supporters to save face."

The mushroom-picking competition ended there.

At this moment, Shen Feng said casually to the director, "Hey, you made us compete, so there should be some rewards, especially for the winner."

Clearly, he was speaking up for Lin Yi.

Although Lin Yi's victory meant Shen Feng would have to call him "Dad," he still wanted to help Lin Yi get some benefits.

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow at Shen Feng upon hearing this.

Was he really helping him?

Shen Feng met Lin Yi's gaze and gave him a smug look that said, "Well, aren't you going to thank me?"

Lin Yi: "..."

After hearing Shen Feng's words, the director smiled helplessly and said, "I was about to announce it. Our production team recently collaborated with local authorities to select a pair of guests to become ambassadors for the city and shoot a promotional video. Since Lin Yi won today, he and Mianmian will be the ones to do it."
