Chapter 17
[I didn't expect to see such a scene in my life. What are a group of stars doing playing with sand here late at night? Hahaha]
[Jiang Lechuan asked when to come and play during the day, Gu Qi kept saying later, I thought Gu Qi was being perfunctory. Unforeseen, later really came]
[Shock! Stars are secretly doing such things together in the middle of the night...]
[Say, why is everyone's expressions more serious than each other! Should be smiling, hahaha]
While the comments were full of hahaha, the scene was extremely silent.
If one have to say it, there was only one person here who could empathize with Jiāng Zhiyu, that was——
Ning Xiwei.
Ning Xiwei didn't want to come here to pile sand, really.
It was just that when Gu Qi remembered the promise in the daytime and knocked on Ye Zhiqing's door to invite her, she happened to be there.
Ning Xiwei was worried about letting Ye Zhiqing leave with Gu Qi.
After all, Ye Zhiqing only looked cold. In fact, she was very easy to get along with and was straightforward. She was even a little stupid and didn't understand the meaning within other people's words. Definitely a hidden silly, innocent and not sweet girl.
Back then, the two of them became friends because someone bullied Ye Zhiqing in the talent show and Ye Zhiqing didn't even realize that she had been isolated by people. The expensive skin care products she took the initiative to share were used by her roommate to apply on the back of her feet. On top of that, she received mockery that it must be fake since she was so generous.
Ning Xiwei couldn't stand it any longer and stood up and taught those people a lesson for Ye Zhiqing. From then on, Ye Zhiqing followed her like a little tail.
Afraid that Gu Qi would bully Ye Zhiqing, Ning Xiwei had no choice but to follow-
Then they really dug sand together until now.
Looking at the sheep village and wolf fort in front of her...
These were enough!
When hearing Jiang Lechuan and Gu Qi discussing whether they could build a Great Wall, Wen Renjing expressed interest, and Ye Zhiqing's eyes lit up, Ning Xiwei felt that her vision went dark.
They were mental!!!
Weren't they going to go back to sleep?
Jiāng Zhiyu had the same thought, but the live broadcast was still ongoing. She could only walk up to greet Gu Qi and her group and explain her purpose: "I saw you left alone, Xiaoqi. I was worried that you might be in danger and followed you to check."
She then said to the netizens in the live broadcast room: "I'm sorry to disturb everyone's rest. It’s a false alarm. Go to bed early, darlings."
After that, Jiāng Zhiyu closed the live broadcast room.
She naturally knew that no one would welcome her at the scene. After the live broadcast was closed, she forced a fake smile on her face. Just as she was about to turn around and go back, she was suddenly stopped by Gu Qi.
"Jiāng Zhiyu." Gu Qi called her name with a complicated expression and asked: "Did you step on something you shouldn't step on?"
Ye Zhiqing also nodded. The disgust on her face was even more exaggerated. She pointed out directly: "There has been a bad smell in the air since you came."
Jiāng Zhiyu: "?"
When she lowered her head to check the soles of her shoes and actually discovered a dark-colored unidentified object. She screamed.
"Just poo, nothing to be yelping about." Though Wen Renjing said this, he was the first to stand up in disgust, carrying his bucket and tools, and walked away: "I'll change places."
Others also stood up. Perhaps because they were afraid that the sand they would dig up later would be mixed with some unidentified objects because of Jiāng Zhiyu's arrival.
They were like elementary school students on a spring outing, each holding tools, lining up to leave, and stopping in the distance.
It was still the same order. They sat down again and started digging on the ground, like some mysterious organization.
Watching at the backs of everyone leaving, Jiāng Zhiyu was bubbling close to the exploding limit.
When was her life as a young lady not the center of attention? This was the first time she encountered such a moment of being ignored as well as despised by everyone.
Looking at the pair of brand-name slippers on her feet, Jiāng Zhiyu wanted to take them off the first moment she despised them, but she held back after thinking that the way back was still so long.
Finally, she could only call Gong Xuanan: "Go to my room to get a pair of new shoes and come to pick me up. Don't ask so many questions! Since I say go, then go!"
＊
The next morning.
Another sudden attack, calling all the guests out of the room.
When Jiang Lechuan saw Hang Ze coming out of Gu Qi's room, his sleepy eyes instantly widened. He started to stutter, pointing at Hang Ze: "You you...you you you!!!"
He kept saying you for a long time, but he couldn't complete the sentence because of fear. Despite this, his fists were already clenched.
[? ? ? ]
[Why the hell did Hang Ze come out of Gu Qi's room? ]
[Sister above, don't rush. The one who wants to know the answer to this question the most must be Jiang Lechuan]
[Hang Ze, if you don't explain it clearly, Jiang Lechuan will really beat you up! ]
Faced with Jiang Lechuan's eyes that seemed to be able to spit fire, Hang Ze got startled and quickly pointed to the room that originally belonged to him and replied: "Your elder sister is there. Don't stare at me with such eyes."
[Hahaha, look at how scared the child is! ]
[Jiang Lechuan, don't be too scared. Did you hear? Your elder sister isn't in this room! ]
[So why did Gu Qi and Hang Ze exchange rooms? ]
[Hang Ze, did you really thicken your skin enough to rob a girl's room? Huh? ]
Knowing that Elder Sister didn't share a room with a wild man outside, Jiang Lechuan finally put away the expression that looked like he wanted to eat Hang Ze in the next second. Still, he gave him a fierce glare.
Wait.
Jiang Lechuan also realized this and asked, "Why did my elder sis exchange rooms with you?"
"Individual’s charm." Hang Ze replied in a deep voice.
Jiang Lechuan: "???"
Before Jiang Lechuan could ask more questions, the director blew the whistle, asking everyone to be quiet. Jiang Lechuan was pulled by the collar by Xu Yanyue to stand in the last row.
Mentally collapsed, Jiang Lechuan hollered: "Xu Yanyue, are you mental? This isn't the company!"
[Xu Yanyue’s DNA memory: When you hear the assembly whistle, you must supervise Jiang Lechuan to stand up]
[Team Leader! Great Team Leader! ]
Soon, all the guests arrived.
The director stared at them with some surprise and asked: "Teachers, did you go to steal last night?"
Why were they all yawning. Some of them have dark circles under their eyes that were so exaggerated like pandas! The environment they provide wasn't that harsh!
The director's originally teasing words made half of the guests fall silent.
[The director's focus is strange, but he actually grasped the key point at once]
[It seems that the director didn't go online and didn't know what happened last night hahaha]
[Who knew what time they played until yesterday! ]
Then——
All the people who participated in playing with sand turned to Gu Qi in unison.
Their attitude was very clear: how to explain?
"Ahem." Gu Qi rubbed her nose with her hand. Instead of answering, she changed the subject: "Hurry up and give the tasks."
[Gu Qi: Don't ask, it's embarrassing]
[Why are you all looking at our elder sister! Who among you hadn't played? ]
[Our elder sister didn’t want it on camera and could only sneakily play with sand in the middle of the night! What else do you want? Can you stop asking! Even if you know, pretend you don't know! ]
[Yes! Give Elder Sister some face! I'm going to be angry!!!]
The director team didn't ask any questions and told everyone that today, like yesterday, the director team wouldn't provide anything. They had to get whatever they wanted to eat by themselves. They could get some job opportunities and earn money or food by communicating with the villagers.
The more one works, the more one gets. The less one works, the less one gets. If one doesn't work, one gets nothing. In the end, the group with the highest income can get the production team to donate one million yuan to a charity project in their name. The specific project is decided by the person who earns the largest single amount in the winning group.
Gu Qi took out three hundred yuan from her pocket and said, "Then I don’t have to do the task?"
Director team: "!?"
Why did she have money! ?
Facing the puzzled eyes of everyone, Gu Qi pointed at Hang Ze and explained, "He bought my room yesterday."
After the recording ended yesterday, Hang Ze secretly sought her and asked if he could change rooms with her.
Hang Ze raised his hand and swore, "As long as you are willing to change rooms with me, the next recording will be whatever you say. If you say east, I will not go west. If you say beat Jiang Lechuan, I will never kick Wen Renjing!"
Gu Qi: "..."
It wasn’t necessary. But considering that 300 yuan was a lot of money in the program recording, Gu Qi still agreed. Anyway, it didn't matter where she slept.
Jiang Lechuan: "!"
He was saying that Elder Sister couldn't possibly like an old man like Hang Ze!
[I was saying why they exchanged rooms. It turned out to be the power of money. Hahaha]
[Suddenly I remembered that Hang Ze sacrificed his lunch break to earn money on the roadside and said that he felt uneasy without money. I didn't expect him to spend it all like this]
[Director Hang: Make money to spend! Life is short! ]
This directly disrupted the production team's arrangements.
The director could only utter: "In theory, it's true. But Teacher Gu, you are in a group. The other groups may also earn more than 300 yuan in total. The final victory or defeat still depends on the total income."
Jiang Lechuan's face immediately displayed ‘I can't lose’ and he turned to Gu Qi, calling out: "Elder Sis!"
[Translation: Elder Sis! Don't give up! I want to win!!! ]
[Jiang Lechuan can always use the word ‘Elder Sis’ to accurately express many emotions hahaha]
Gu Qi: "...got it."
Who would dislike having too much money?
Taking in Jiang Lechuan's instantly smug expression and going to Wen Renjing to puff his chest like a fool, Gu Qi felt helpless. Still, she couldn't help but pull the corners of her lips.
It seemed that after being with Jiang Lechuan for a long time, she seemed to have developed something called a desire to win. At some moments, it was as if everything had returned to her childhood.
Soon.
All three groups set out on the road to the village to find opportunities and make money.
The four of them walked around.
There were quite a few job opportunities, but they were all hard labor such as harvesting vegetables and planting crops. If one wanted to finish one household’s work, one may spend all their time today. Basically, not make any money at all.
And when they passed by other people's houses countless times and Xu Yanyue was praised by the aunties with the phrase ‘This young lad is so handsome’, Gu Qi suddenly stopped.
She looked back at Xu Yanyue and fell into thought.
Xu Yanyue met her gaze. After a slight pause, he asked: "What's wrong?"
Gu Qi pointed to the aunties who were still eyeing them not far away and said seriously: "Those aunties seem to like you very much."
Xu Yanyue nodded with some unnaturalness and still answered: "It seems so."
Jiang Lechuan sneered: "Obviously I am a hundred times more handsome than him! These people have no taste!"
[Jiang Lechuan is irked]
[This wave of anger coming from the official and democratically elected best face! ]
[It's understandable. Jiang Lechuan looks a bit too childish. Xu Yanyue is so tall and his appearance is also the ‘righteous’ that the elders like most]
[Yes, yes, my mother watched the variety show with me yesterday, she commented that these kids are all good-looking, but if she must choose, Xu Yanyue is the most handsome hahaha]
[My father insisted that he must have been a soldier and is the kind of handsome guy who will go to defend his country in the next second]
Gu Qi looked at Hang Ze and said, "I know how to make money."
After that, Gu Qi walked toward the group of aunties who had been watching them.
＊
Ten minutes later.
Hang Ze held up his mobile phone to take pictures.
While Xu Yanyue stood there expressionlessly, aunties kept coming forward and taking pictures with him with grins on their faces.
Not far away, aunties who wanted to take pictures with him had already lined up in a long line.
[LMAO, the new rural scenery · handsome Xu Yanyue! ]
[Fruits grown in rural areas are cheap. You can take photos with a handsome guy as well as a celebrity with just a piece of fruit or vegetables. Who wouldn't want to come?]
[I wish I'm in this village! ]
[Gu Qi, what kind of genius are you? Hahaha]
[Xu Yanyue's face is full of no hope for life, but every time Gu Qi presses the shooting button, he will smile politely and guarantee that the photos taken are perfect. Maybe this is the self-cultivation of idols! ]
[Xu Yanyue's Rural Fan Meeting]
Seeing that it had attracted many people, Gu Qi immediately started a new business and whispered something in Jiang Lechuan's ear.
Jiang Lechuan showed dissatisfaction on his face, but under Gu Qi's "threatening" eyes, he looked around reluctantly and found the highest stone to climb up.
Afterward, he shouted loudly to the crowd: "The photo session will end in ten minutes! Please line up! Next is the movie shooting session! Only 20 yuan! 20 yuan will give you the opportunity to shoot a three-minute idol drama with Xu Yanyue! Everyone can be the female lead in their own life! You can bring your own plot or let us arrange it! Don't miss this once in a lifetime opportunity!"
＊
Very soon.
The middle-aged woman in the front row got the first chance to film an idol drama with Xu Yanyue.
She excitedly squealed: "My husband was as handsome as him when he was young, but handsome men are all playboys! He later made some money and found another woman outside. We are already going through the divorce procedure. I want to film a scene where he tries to keep me and begs me, but I no longer love him and leave gracefully! Damn scumbag!"
At the side, a few women of similar age applauded and shouted: "Okay! Let's film it like this! Let the scumbag regret it!"
The scene was lively and joyful. More and more people gathered to watch the fun.
Gu Qi nodded: "Okay, I understand what you mean. Leave it to us."
They were a team, at least at this moment.
Xu Yanyue stood there as the male protagonist, while Hang Ze held two mobile phones at the same time and was responsible for filming from different positions.
Gu Qi took the cosmetics provided by a nearby kind sister and put on simple makeup for every woman waiting in line to shoot a video with Xu Yanyue. This way, they could all show their most beautiful side in the video.
[ROFL, a temporary film and television company is opened like this, right?]
[Xu Yanyue has already changed to the path of an actor. His previous role as the second male lead was widely praised. Hang Ze is a well-known director. Gu Qi's makeup level is at a level that the makeup artists of the crew have specially praised on Weibo before. So this is a professional team?]
Some people also raised the question.
[What does Jiang Lechuan do? Was he an unnecessary existence?]
[Jiang Lechuan only need to stay there and watch the team leader, elder sister, and Director Hang make money for you!]
Soon, they realized that they underestimated Jiang Lechuan, because his existence was also very meaningful.
When the plot entered the climax.
The female lead angrily stormed off. Xu Yanyue stared after her departing back and showed a sad and regretful expression as required.
At this time, Jiang Lechuan's singing voice slowly sounded.
"For all the love of holding the pain— for all the wounds of hatred—- I can’t tell love from hate, Yes or no, that’s all-"[Can’t forgive by Li Jia Lu]
The sad singing voice rendered the sorrowful atmosphere.
[? ? ?]
[Jiang Lechuan, your role is to sing BGM?]
[There is actually background music hahaha]
[The difficulty for Jiang Lechuan to not laugh when watching Xu Yanyue acting in an idol drama is high!]
[With twenty yuan, there is actually a male lead, makeup inclusion, professional camera work, and even BGM]
[What is professional!? This is damn professional!]
[Do you know how much it costs to get these people together? This wave is simply a bloody gain! ! ! ]
The cooperation among the people became more and more tacit. Many ‘customers’ gave them a lot of extra money because of the good experience and gifted them the fruits and vegetables they grew at home as if they were free.
The queue was long again.
Lunch time.
They didn't even have time to go back for a meal, so they could only get together to eat the compressed biscuits and bread brought by Gu Qi and drink the water provided by the villagers. Somewhat filling their stomachs, they continued to work.
In the end.
After Gu Qi deducted a fee for the kind lady who provided cosmetics, they actually made a total of 900 yuan. Plus the original 300, it directly broke through a thousand.
In addition, there were countless fruits and vegetables gifted by the villagers. Everyone had their hands full before they set off on the way back with the villagers' farewell.
Hang Ze seemed to be in a particularly good mood. Spending money could bring him happiness, and so did making money. Anyway, his life was for money.
Once they got back.
Netizens were shocked.
The director team and other guests were also stunned.
No...
Were they going to the village to find work or to rob?
At the beginning, Jiāng Zhiyu was quite smug. But now her smile had completely stiffened on her face.
Because the director team bribed a few villagers to cooperate in advance, their team did some simple work and earned a full 800 yuan. They thought they would win, but unforeseen they lost to Gu Qi's team.
Jiāng Zhiyu blurted out: "What means did you use?"
After saying this, she immediately realized that she had lost her composure and hurriedly made amends: "I don't mean anything. I'm just too shocked."
Jiang Lechuan was very proud: "Of course we are...Damn! Xu Yanyue, why did you kick me? I want to praise you!"
Gu Qi glanced over and saw a trace of helplessness and embarrassment on that face that was normally cold and expressionless.
Gu Qi understood. Explaining it again might be a bit embarrassing for Xu Yanyue, so she explained for him: "It's nothing. Just relies on face and talent to make a living."
[Gu Qi seemed to have answered, but it seemed that she didn't answer anything]
[But what she said is true. Xu Yanyue relied on his face, while others relied on their strength hahaha]
...
Rely on face?
This keyword brought great stimulation to Jiāng Zhiyu, because what she always cared about and was most proud of was her face.
Although she had done a lot of medical beauty, she had never touched any part of her face. It was pure and original beauty.
Gu Qi could get food and money through face, so couldn't she?
Jiāng Zhiyu got her mind stuck in a corner.
Jiāng Fengzhi indifferently swept a glance at his younger sister. It went without saying he knew what she was thinking and also knew why she was raging under her seemingly calm appearance.
Caring about useless skin to the extreme and as stupid as ever.
He retracted his gaze, stood up, and took the initiative to help like the others, and brought in all the fruits and vegetables in the yard, maintaining his gentle and elegant personality.
The main live broadcast camera went along with the group with the most people.
Gong Xuanan took this opportunity to lean next to Jiāng Zhiyu, moved the microphone, and comforted her with a smile: "Don't be angry, these country people are just ignorant. At the sight of some entertainers, they think there’s some big shots and naturally have to please them like dogs. Poor people are all like this, short-sighted."
Irked, Jīng Zhiyu gazed at him and mouthed: Get lost.
Gong Xuanan was stunned. Although he still had a smile on his face, he was more or less irritated within.
Yes, he needed to rely on the Jiāng Family to consolidate his position, but it didn’t mean that Jiāng Zhiyu, a woman, could treat him with such a contemptuous attitude.
Wait until he completely gets the inheritance rights, he will not marry Jiāng Zhiyu.
He will definitely play with her first, abandon her ruthlessly, and let her kneel in front of him like a drowned dog and beg.
After all...
Gong Xuanan glanced at Jiāng Fengzhi not far away and then looked at Jiāng Zhiyu with a bit of ridicule and pity.
Jīng Zhiyu didn't know that the person in the world who wanted her to be ruined the most was her biological elder brother.
Otherwise, this variety show, which was nominally for the purpose of promoting her, would never have started in the form of a live broadcast.
