Taiwanese celebrity Ai Rong recently took part in a "call-out challenge" segment on the show "Life is Full of Wonders," where she contacted veteran host Jacky Wu with an unusual request. Aiming to fulfill her dream of opening a maid cafe, Ai Rong asked Wu to lend her NT$2 million.

During the call, Ai Rong explained her entrepreneurial aspirations, mentioning a specific maid cafe concept she had in mind. She also playfully suggested involving fellow celebrity Shen Yu-lin as a "maid leader" to attract customers. Wu, initially engaging with the request, then turned the tables with a humorous twist.

Ai Rong, I'll have my assistant get your 1 million later. I'll give you quantum water essence!

This unexpected response drew laughter from those present and was likened to being offered a fishing rod instead of fish. The segment concluded with Ai Rong not receiving the financial backing for her cafe, ending the prank call on a lighthearted note.
