Chapter 255: Chapter 255 - 255: Temporary Waiter

Translator: Zayn_

Tang Zinian couldn’t help but look forward to it when he heard that there were guests coming.

Even Shu Ling and Zhao Yingnan’s work speed increased.

The farm work that the four of them received this time was no longer planting rice seedlings, but watering the vegetables.

For Shu Ling, who had been a vegetable farmer in the first episode, this was not a problem at all.

So at half past three, the four of them successfully completed the task and got a bag of flour, two fish, as well as common summer vegetables such as loofah, water spinach, and cucumber, as well as onions, ginger, and garlic.

On the way back to the homestay on the mountain with the basket, Zhao Yingnan and the others were asking the cameraman who was the guest this time.

The cameraman received a reply from the director and revealed limited information.

“Director Wei said that the guests who will be coming this time are young and beautiful women. Perhaps there will be more than one.”

“And then?”

“What then? There is no ‘then’! Director Wei only said this. Actually, even if you ask us, we don’t know either. Director Wei has done a good job of confidentiality.”

“I knew this would happen,” Shu Ling said, not surprised at all.

“Then we can guess for ourselves,” Yu Muhuai suggested gently.

“How?” Zhao Yingnan was puzzled. “We only know that it’s a woman. We don’t even know the scope.”

“There’s a high chance that it’s someone in the industry, because the show can’t always give people codes.”

“I agree.” Shu Ling echoed.

“It’s hard to say if she’s young and pretty,” Tang Zinian continued. “All the girls in the industry are young and pretty.”

Zhao Yingnan gave a thumbs up.”Little Tang, your EQis very high!”

“Thank you for the compliment.” Tang Zinian smiled and said, “Actually, from the last sentence, there might be more than one person coming. We can also infer that it’s someone in the industry because artistes sometimes have irregular work schedules.”

“So who could it be?” Zhao Yingnan always felt that the two people who were actively guessing should have an answer.

Tang Zinian looked at Shu Ling. “Sister Ling, shall we say it together?”

“Ok.”

“Ready, one, two, three-”

“Sister Siya!”

“Sister Jiayin!”

The two of them spoke in unison, but unfortunately, the names they said were very different.

After exchanging glances, Shu Ling blinked. “I think it should be a female artist who has interacted with us recently. Sister Jiayin is more likely.”

“But Sister Siya, Teacher Jiang, and Sister Qingyou are from the same company,” Tang Zinian retorted.

The two of them fell silent at the same time. They both felt that the other party’s guess made sense.

“Actually, you guys have quite a tacit understanding. Both of you guessed that it was an artist related to Qingyou.”

“It should be Teacher Zhong.” Yu Muhuai suddenly said.

“Eh?” The three of them looked at him.

“Because Murder of the Rose is almost done,” Yu Muhuai explained. “We need to do some publicity for the movie.”

Zhao Yingnan was stunned. “Is it okay to say it so straightforwardly?”

“Who asked us to be the main leads?” Yu Muhuai didn’t mind.

“I feel like I’m being ostracized,” Tang Zinian said with a pout.

As he said this, the four of them stepped into the courtyard.

“What ostracized?” Jiang Xuyan turned around and asked.

Tang Zinian recounted the contents of their discussion.

“…Teacher Jiang seemed to be involved in the production of the background music for this movie, right? It’s over. It seems that only Xingzhou and 1 didn’t participate. Isn’t this ostracizing?”

Song Qingyou, who was drying the tea leaves, suddenly smiled.

“It’s okay. We’ll let you do more work later. Once you have a strong sense of participation, you won’t feel ostracized.”

Tang Zinian felt even more wronged.

Jiang Xuyan laughed happily. “Qingyou has taken all the bamboo shoots on the mountain.”

The laughter attracted Tang Zinian’s sideways glance, and he quickly changed the subject, “Ahem, although we may not be able to guess who is coming, can we arrange a welcome ceremony?”

“It’s best to arrange a welcoming ceremony that can be reused,” Song Qingyou suggested.

“After all, we’re very poor now.”

“How about a banner?” Tang Zinian thought. “We’ll do it ourselves?”

Jiang Xuyan: “Okay, then Lil Tang will be in charge of the welcoming ceremony. We will continue to pick tea leaves. Who will be the one cooking today? If no one is going, then I’ll go?”

“I’ll do it.” Shu Ling waved her hand.

“Then I’ll help.”

The few of them divided their work again. When it was time for the guests to enter the village, Tang Zinian had already made a banner and hung it at the entrance of the homestay’s courtyard.

It was just that his banner was made of red silk and yellow tape. The words on it were crooked and unsightly.

However, as soon as the banner was hung up, someone went up the mountain.

Tang Zinian took a closer look and quickly went forward to welcome them. “Sister Yin, Sister Wan, good afternoon.”

The guests that the production team was talking about were indeed not amateurs or people from other circles.

It was Zhong Jiayin and Ye Guiwan.

Both of them were dragging their suitcases.

The former raised her chin and glanced at Tang Zinian. “Who are you? A waiter at the homestay?”

If Tang Zinian’s fans heard this, they probably wouldn’t be able to take it lying down even if they knew they couldn’t afford to offend Zhong Jiayin.

Tang Zinian was not surprised. He had heard some rumors about Zhong Jiayin.

“For the two sisters, I am indeed a temporary waiter.”

Ye Guiwan smiled. “Don’t mind me, Lil Tang. Jiayin was actually reading your files last night.”

“She rarely attends variety shows. The director told us not to be polite to you, so she-”

Ye Guiwan lowered her voice so that Zhong Jiayin couldn’t hear her clearly.

However, it did not stop her sixth sense from being accurate.

“Ye Guiwan, are you talking bad about me? Let me tell you, I can hear you!”

“Why would I badmouth you for no reason?”

Ye Guiwan clicked her tongue and looked disgusted.

It could be seen that not only did the two of them know each other, but they also had a good relationship in private.

“Lil Tang, show us the way.”

Tang Zinian immediately agreed.

“Why didn’t you help me with my luggage?” Zhong Jiayin asked unhappily.

Ye Guiwan facepalmed. “Jiayin, if you continue to be like this, people will say that you have a temper.”

“I do!” Zhong Jiayin didn’t try to hide anything. “I’m not going to be polite like the others. Didn’t the production team say so? I’m here as a tourist!”

“A waiter should do what a waiter should do. What do you think, Tang Zinian?” She looked at Tang Zinian.

“Sister Jiayin is right.” Tang Zinian smiled awkwardly and nodded at Ye Guiwan to express his gratitude.

After a while, Tang Zinian returned with two suitcases.

Since he had already helped Zhong Jiayin with her luggage, it would be unreasonable if he didn’t help Ye Guiwan.

Zhong Jiayin was wearing a pair of sunglasses as she followed behind them. She looked up at the banner that said ‘Welcome to our guests’, and she said in disdain, “Who made this banner? The words on it are too ugly! In order not to affect the mood of the guests, it’s better to take it down.”

Tang Zinian could barely maintain the smile on his face.

He had never expected Zhong Jiayin to be as picky as the rumors said..
