The guests only met before the recording began.
The first to arrive were Song Qingyou and Zhao Yingnan.
When Shu Ling and Tang Zinian saw the two of them, they thought they were late and quickly came over to greet them.
Shu Lingâs attitude was relatively cold. In addition, she was slightly older than Song Qingyou and Zhao Yingnan, so she couldnât call them sisters. She said, âHello,â and stood beside Xu Xingzhou.
Tang Zinian was polite. When he met Song Qingyouâs gaze, he smiled and said, âGood morning, Ms. Song. Iâm Tang Zinian, an actor who debuted last year.â
âThis is my first time participating in a variety show. Teacher Song, Teacher Zhao, Brother Xu, and Sister Shu, please take care of me.â
Song Qingyou nodded. âItâs only my second time.â
Zhao Yingnan smiled.â Thereâs no need to give pointers. Director Wei asked us to compete. I would like to ask you to show mercy.â
âWhat are you guys talking about? Why are you so happy?â
Yu Muhuai walked over.
âSo that I can show you mercy,â Song Qingyou said with a smile.
Tang Zinian laughed along and greeted the newcomer. âHello, Teacher Yu.â
Yu Muhuai nodded coldly and smiled at Song Qingyou.
âThe show hasnât even started, and youâre already certain that you can win?â
âYou donât believe me?â Song Qingyou asked. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âOf course I believe you.â
Yu Muhuai turned to look at Wei Zhengrong behind the camera. âBut Iâm worried that Director Wei will cry after hearing this and secretly increase the difficulty of the mission for you.â
âMuhuai, youâll be the last one to draw lots later!â Wei Zhengrong snorted.
âPfft-â
Jiang Xuyan, who was the last to arrive, laughed out loud.
âDirector Wei is furious!â
Before he finished speaking, the director announced, âJiang Xuyan, the last one to arrive, the second to last to draw lots.â
Jiang Xuyan revealed an expression of disbelief.
âDirector, Iâm not late! Why are you using your official position for personal gain again? This is too much!â
âWho asked you to come last?â Wei Zhengrong retorted calmly.
âThe last one, I-â
Jiang Xuyan paused. âI did it on purpose! As the saying goes, âOne must be kind and generousâ, thatâs why Iâm late!'â
Everyone was speechless.
This familiar cold joke was indeed Teacher Jiang!
Jiang Xuyan raised his eyebrows. âIsnât it funny?â
Song Qingyou and the others chose to remain silent.
âItâs alright,â replied Tang Zinian.
âItâs not funny at all,â Xu Xingzhou told the truth.
âThen Iâll try another one-â
âIf Teacher Jiang continues to dawdle, the mission points for the first episode will directly become negative 5.â
Jiang Xuyan sighed and stood next to Yu Muhuai.
Wei Zhengrong nodded in satisfaction, then raised the loudspeaker to announce the rules.
âFor this All-Class Challenge, you will need to experience different classes. Everyone has different missions and goals, so you are allowed to help each other during the mission.â
âHowever, everyone has to pay attention to their points. In every episode, the person with the lowest points will be punished. It will also affect the activity funds for the second episode.â
âPoints can be purchased with the money earned.â
As the director spoke, he asked the staff to push out a notice board with the specific rules.
In addition to the rules that the director had mentioned, it also stated that 100 yuan could be exchanged for one point, and vice versa.
Moreover, during this process, the guests had to hand over their phones and wallets. They could only use the phones provided by the program team to contact each other.
There were also some special terms: they were not allowed to accept money and supplies from fans or passers-by, and they were not allowed to use money earned from part-time jobs other than their main job. Otherwise, their points would be reset to zero.
The entire notice board was filled with a large number of words.
It could be said that Wei Zhengrong had put in a lot of effort to prevent them from taking advantage of the loophole.
When they were almost done, Wei Zhengrong continued, âAlright, everyone is clear about the rules. Letâs draw lots.â
âI have a question.â Song Qingyou raised her hand.
âTell me.â
âWhat if I get an unsuitable class?â
Song Qingyouâs words attracted everyoneâs attention.
Wei Zhengrongâs thoughts went astray. He emphasized with a stern face, âWhat kind of job is unsuitable? The production team has definitely chosen a legal and compliant profession!â
âDirector Wei, what are you thinking?â Song Qingyou stifled her laughter.
âWhat I mean is what if you chose a profession that is not suitable for you!â
She wasnât referring to those illegal and colorful occupations!
Jiang Xuyan took the lead and laughed. âDirector Wei must be thinking the wrong thing, hahaha.â
âCough cough-â
Wei Zhengrong cleared his throat. âCut this part out!â
âThe purpose of the show is to make things difficult for you. Ah, no, itâs to let you experience the hardships of other professions. How can you change just because youâre not suitable?â
âThen if Teacher Jiang draws the profession of chefâ¦â
Song Qingyou hesitated.
Jiang Xuyanâs laughter stopped abruptly.
âThat restaurant might close down on the same dayâ¦â
How could a person who could make himself vomit be a chef?
Jiang Xuyan laughed.
âItâs okay, Director Wei. I will definitely learn cooking seriously!â
Wei Zhengrongâs face darkened. After two seconds, he announced, âAdd one more rule to the drawing of lots.â
âAfter drawing lots, you are allowed to swap once. Remember, you only have one chance to swap!â
Seeing that they had no more questions, Wei Zhengrong asked someone to bring the lottery machine over.
There were dozens of colorful balls the size of ping pong balls in the lottery machine.
âThe classes in each ball are different.â
âSo each of you has a different class.â
Even if they helped each other, they wouldnât be able to help much.
Zhao Yingnan said, âIt seems that the order of drawing lots is not important at all!â
Even if Jiang Xuyan and Yu Muhuai were the last to draw, it wouldnât matter, right?
Perhaps the others would take away the more difficult classes, and the two of them would even get a bargain!
Of course, Wei Zhengrong wouldnât allow such a loophole. He explained, âI havenât finished speaking. Later on, you will have to first decide on the order of drawing lots.â
âThe first person to draw lots can draw five balls and choose one of the five classes.â
âSecond and third, you can draw three balls. Choose one of the three.â
âFourth and fifth, you can draw two balls. Choose one.â
âMuhuai and Teacher Jiang, you can only pick one!â
âIn the end, you can discuss it with each other and see if they want to exchange.â
âAll?â Jiang Xuyan pointed at the lottery machine. âHow many professions are there?â
âThere are only 25 classes.â
âThen isnât this very unfriendly to Muhuai and me?â
Jiang Xuyan patted his head and said to the staff, âItâs time to judge oneâs character. Quick, bring me a basin of water. I want to wash my hands first! Wash your face!â
âWash your hands?â Wei Zhengrong asked angrily. âTeacher Jiang, do you still need to bathe and burn incense?â
âThat works too!â
âCome, prepare a bath and burn incense for Teacher Jiang. Donât turn off the camera. We can enjoy the content that shouldnât be broadcast!â
Everyone burst into laughter.
