Chapter 855 - 555: Live Broadcast [03] Julian Linfield: All the Antiques Were Gifts from Nora Scott_2
After touring the courtyard, Nora Scott took them to wander around the nearby mountains and fields.
The autumn rice had all been harvested, but there were still vegetables in the fields. Besides the bamboo forest on the mountain, there were fruit trees that Julian Linfield had planted two years ago, like peach, pear, kiwi, yellow peach, plum, grapevines, and so on. This vast mountaintop was bought with Julian Linfield’s money and belonged solely to him.
Although he lives secluded in the mountains, it’s undoubtedly piled up with cash, something ordinary country folk could not afford.
The live-streaming audience was squeaking like marmots, constantly yelling whether Julian Linfield needed a granddaughter-in-law or a handyman or a pancake apprentice...
Nora Scott and Julian Linfield were unaware of this.
Rosa Sullivan behaved properly, even showcasing her cultural foundation of ancient poetry and literature, singing several verses with eloquence, earning her the reputation of a "talented woman."
After wandering for nearly two hours, Nora Scott tried to keep the atmosphere from getting dull, striving to speak more. The number of live-stream audience members skyrocketed crazily, and when the next segment "Listening to Julian Linfield Talk About National Music" began, Nora Scott successfully won tens of millions of fans for Julian Linfield.
Julian Linfield became a hot figure among the older generation of National Music Masters.
[I heard about Nora Scott and came here. Who is this elderly gentleman? He looks so immortal and with such elegance!]
[Hahaha, wait until you see him frying pancakes, and you’ll change your mind!]
[Julian Linfield! You may not have heard his name, but his works are definitely famous, like "XX", "XXX", "XXXX"....]
[To the person above, he’s the master everyone in the national music field wants to apprentice with—except Nora Scott doesn’t want to acknowledge him as a mentor. This label is easier to remember.]
[Crying with laughter. Whenever Master Linfield calls Nora Scott ’little disciple’, she rolls her eyes. Hahaha, the Heavenly Immortal is displeased, saying she hasn’t drunk the apprenticeship wine yet and doesn’t want to acknowledge him as a mentor.]
...
The "Listening to Julian Linfield Talk About National Music" segment took place in the tea room.
Rosa Sullivan guided the topic, mainly listening to Julian Linfield’s explanations, while Nora Scott became a backdrop, busying herself with making tea and such.
However, the audience wasn’t there for Rosa Sullivan or Julian Linfield, so the comments were mostly discussing Nora Scott.
[Look at Nora Scott’s tea-making technique. She knows a lot about the tea ceremony, must have researched it. Just how much does this person know?]
[The Heavenly Immortal sure is heavenly. Dress in Hanfu, sit aside, brew tea, and even as background presence, she shines brightly. My eyes are glued to her.]
[Rosa Sullivan and Master Linfield are having a serious conversation, but Nora Scott is the one daydreaming, her eyes darting around, and she’s pouting, hahaha, isn’t she adorable!]
[Ahhh if I were Master Linfield, I’d want Nora Scott as a disciple too! Who cares about talent when she’s so attractive, extravagant, eloquent, and multi-skilled? Who wouldn’t want to keep her in the palm of their hand?! Her expressions are truly arresting!]
[Sleepy, sleepy, the beauty is sleepy... Won’t someone bring her a pillow?]
[Feeling so sorry for her, having to sit upright for the program, sitting like this for an hour without losing composure. Nora Scott must be thinking how tough things are, she shouldn’t have agreed to participate in this lousy program! By the way, did the production team pay Nora Scott?!]
[The production team better pay up!]
[Sorry, as a mere mortal, I can’t follow Rosa Sullivan and Master Linfield’s conversation. My mind is all focused on Nora Scott. Speaking of which, I originally thought Rosa Sullivan had a goddess-like aura, but when framed with Nora Scott, it’s like Nora Scott outshines her effortlessly. The difference in aura is too vast.]
[To the person above, Nora Scott’s looks and aura are too overwhelming! Alone, Rosa Sullivan is still a pretty woman with aura. Next to Nora Scott, she just seems plain.]
...
After finishing "Listening to Julian Linfield Talk About National Music," it was already evening, about five or six o’clock, and outside, the sunset gradually faded, as the sky darkened.
Regarding meals, the program team intended to order takeout, but was stopped by Nora Scott.
When the time came, someone arrived at the door driving a van.
"Hall Master, here’s what you ordered—" The driver opened the door, ready to speak to Nora Scott, then saw a crowd at the door and was startled, "Why is everyone carrying cameras?"
"Recording a program." Nora Scott casually replied.
The livestream kept going, and their conversation was transmitted to nearly twenty million viewers.
[Hall Master? What kind of nerdy title is that?]
[According to insider news from the "Reversing Life" crew, Nora Scott’s assistant privately calls her Hall Master. They say she’s the Hall Master of the Beauty Like Flower Hall.]
[...I actually can’t refute that.]
[Could I have the honor to join this hall?]
[Wake up, person above.]
[As an insider, I’ll say it’s not the Beauty Like Flower Hall. I can only say Nora Scott is truly a big shot, she really doesn’t care about being a celebrity.]
...
Glancing back, Nora Scott raised her eyebrows and said, "Move it." Staff quickly came to help move the dinner.
The program team initially thought Nora Scott ordered familiar lunchboxes, not expecting much. Yet on opening the boxes, they were stunned—perfectly balanced meals, two dishes and a soup, four lunch boxes per person, each item so lavish, not the typical quality of lunchbox meals, so tasty you’d want to swallow your tongue.
—Because the Durant Family had to monitor Yangel, Benjamin Durant simply expanded Virtue Retreat’s business there, recruiting some local Biel Hall members to assist Nora Scott.
These dishes were from Virtue Retreat but without the Virtue Retreat logo on the packaging.
To avoid being too conspicuous.
After distributing the lunch boxes, the program director sent someone to find the driver to secretly pay, only to be told no payment was needed, Nora Scott had taken them for free from the store.
Returning to report, the production team finally realized—
Since Nora Scott appeared, they not only benefited from Nora Scott’s millions in traffic, bringing unprecedented popularity, but they also enjoyed a gourmet meal for free.
Cried beautifully.
"Is this deal too good?"
"I’ve been waiting for Nora Scott to secretly ask us for a fee, but despite so many chances, she never brought it up."
"She truly is heaven-sent..."
"I want to be her fan, anyone want to team up?"
...
Unknowingly, Nora Scott filled this program with goodwill, earning herself rave reviews from people in the industry.
Nora Scott carried her and Julian Linfield’s dinner inside, found Julian Linfield under the eaves, placed two thermal containers differing from the lunchboxes, and started to unpack the dishes one by one.
The program team didn’t plan to film Julian Linfield and Nora Scott dining, only telling the live audience, then setting up the camera in the living room, capturing only their backs, before getting busy elsewhere.
Rosa Sullivan wanted to join Julian Linfield for dinner, but with Nora Scott present, she couldn’t let herself; hesitating for a while, she grabbed her dinner and went to eat separately.
The director asked her, "Aren’t you joining your mentor for dinner? Don’t you rarely meet him?"
Rosa Sullivan smiled, "Mm. Mentor doesn’t like others dining with him."
The director looked at her thoughtfully.
Later, he raised his eyes, glancing at the barefoot Nora Scott and Julian Linfield sitting under the eaves, swinging their legs, harmonious and picturesque, not showing any of Julian Linfield’s "dislike."
Upon reflection, Julian Linfield seemed rather distant to Rosa Sullivan.
Without comparing with Nora Scott’s closeness, Julian Linfield and Rosa Sullivan’s interaction seemed normal enough, but Nora Scott clearly had an excellent rapport with Julian Linfield, resembling grandfather and granddaughter.
Though it wasn’t something he could meddle in, he suppressed his curiosity and changed the subject.
*
"Cheers." Julian Linfield offered Nora Scott a teacup filled with oolong tea, "Tea instead of wine."
"Are you setting me up?" Reflexively taking the cup, Nora Scott returned to her senses and side-eyed him, saying straightforwardly, "No apprenticeship unless you call me mentor."
Live-stream audience: "..."
[Did I hear wrong? Heavenly Immortal, could you repeat that?]
