Chapter 284: Chapter 284 - 284: Selling Teacher Gu Out

Translator: Zayn_

With Gu Xingchen’s ‘trouble1, Song Qingyou and Yu Muhuai stopped singing.

Coincidentally, it was almost bedtime. Under the urging of everyone, Yu Muhuai began to sing the ending song.

Under the moonlight, the piano keys played a quiet tune, like a trickle.

Yu Muhuai seemed to be glowing in front of the microphone.

“The brightest star in the night sky, can you hear me clearly?”

“The loneliness and sigh in the heart of the person who looks up to me

When the prelude started, everyone knew which song he was singing.

Yu Muhuai’s voice was gentler than before.

The summer heat and the restlessness caused by this small concert gradually subsided at this moment.

“Oh, the brightest star in the night sky.”

“Please guide me to you

At this point, Yu Muhuai suddenly turned around. His gaze swept across everyone sitting around him and finally stopped somewhere.

Others might not know, but Jiang Zhihan knew that this person was looking at Song Qingyou.

His gaze turned cold, and without hesitation, he jumped onto Song Qingyou’s lap to attract her attention.

Zhizhi, who didn’t take the initiative to stick close to her, even acted coquettishly, suddenly took the initiative to sit on her lap. Song Qingyou was pleasantly surprised, but at the same time, she wanted to give it a good rub!

Yu Muhuai’s eyes darkened.

A few minutes later, the last song ended.

Amidst the clapping, the person in the middle bowed.

After the concert ended, the villagers left under the arrangement of the program team.

Yu Muhuai walked over to Song Qingyou, who was helping to clean up the chairs.

“Was it nice?”

“What?” Song Qingyou looked up.

“Did I sing well?” Yu Muhuai looked serious.

“It sounded good.”

“I…” Yu Muhuai hesitated.

“What are you trying to say?”

“That song just now-”

“Meow-”

The squeaking sound not only made Song Qingyou look down, but also called Jiang Haha over.

The cat and dog circled around Song Qingyou, interrupting the hesitating Yu Muhuai.

Then, Jiang Xuyan ran over.

When Song Qingyou turned back, she realized that Yu Muhuai had left.

Thinking about it, it shouldn’t be something very important… Right?

“Meow-”

The cat’s meowing pulled Song Qingyou back to her senses.

She bent down and picked up the cat. “Who told you to provoke Haha? Hmm? Are you in trouble now?” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Jiang Zhihan glanced at Yu Muhuai absentmindedly and replied in a low voice, “Meow.”

‘Oh:

After the courtyard was cleaned up, the group returned to their rooms.

Song Qingyou went to the kitchen to put away the cups. When she came out, she heard Chen Zixuan’s voice coming from the courtyard.

“Contact my manager. 1 want to talk to Director Wei.”

“If he’s not here, call him back!”

Judging from her anxious tone, it was most likely for the post-production editing.

Song Qingyou heard a few words as she passed by and went straight upstairs.

The next day was the last day of the third episode of the All-Class Challenge.

Chen Zixuan was quiet throughout the day. At most, she would stick close to Gu Xingchen, just like when she first arrived.

In the afternoon, Song Qingyou and her group of seven escorted Gu Xingchen and the others to the foot of the mountain.

“Just here is enough.” Chen Zixuan smiled and said, “I’ll go with Brother Gu. I have company on the way, so don’t worry.”

Of course, the seven of them were not worried.

However, the main point of Chen Zixuan’s words was obviously ‘going with Gu Xingchen.’ There was no need for them to refute.

Gu Xingchen clearly expressed his reluctance.

“If there’s a show like this next time, remember to invite me.”

“It’s my dream to be able to take a vacation and rest without delaying my work.”

Before this, he had never participated in such a slow variety show.

If it wasn’t for the fact that Song Qingyou was in All-Class Challenge and the director had guaranteed that there wouldn’t be any script, Gu Xingchen wouldn’t have agreed.

“Then when Director Wei shoots the second season, Mr. Gu can come and be a permanent guest.” Song Qingyou laughed.

Jiang Xuyan lied through his teeth. “Director Wei doesn’t make things difficult for me. Joining the show is no different from a vacation.”

“I can consider it.” Gu Xingchen thought for a moment and nodded.

The two of them looked at each other and almost said in unison, “Then we’ll take it that Teacher Gu has agreed.”

“Alright.”

The few of them watched as the two of them got into the car and returned to the homestay.

The last segment of this episode was, of course, the “conclusion.”

Wei Zhengrong was already waiting for them in the room. As soon as they sat down, he asked the staff to bring out the small blackboard.

“Cough cough-”

Director Wei coughed twice in a dignified manner.

Jiang Xuyan waved his hand. “Director Wei, we’re already so familiar with each other. There’s no need to be so formal.”

“He looks especially like the dean of the school,” Tang Zinian replied.

“Silence!” Wei Zhengrong knocked on the small blackboard with his stick and pointed at the numbers.

“Everyone’s performance this time is very good. The tea gardens on this mountain have been picked well. The total amount of fresh tea leaves is estimated to be nearly 600 catties. There are nearly 300 finished tea cakes. According to the market price, you have earned 6,000 yuan.”

Zhao Yingnan was surprised.

“Aren’t we quite capable?”

Wei Zhengrong smiled. “You guys are quite capable. In White Tea Village, one person could do this. You guys did it with seven people.”

Everyone was speechless.

What could they do? They were not professional tea pickers!

“They’ve been making tea for generations. We can’t compare.”

Jiang Xuyan said, “But we’ve earned so much this time. Have we paid off the homestay fees?”

Wei Zhengrong nodded, “You can indeed pay for the homestay fees…”

Before the few of them could celebrate, they heard Director Wei’s tone change again.

“However, 6,000 yuan is just enough to pay for the homestay. The tea leaves on the slope next door are only 900 yuan.”

“And among you, other than Song Qingyou, all of you owe the production team a sum of 1,400 yuan.”

“No way!” Jiang Xuyan’s expression was exaggerated. “How can you leave a foreshadowing?”

Wei Zhengrong didn’t reply and only asked someone to take out the amount of money they owed.

“There’s a difference of 500 yuan. You guys discuss it. Do you want to split it equally among everyone and let everyone accept the punishment, or let one or two people take the blame?”

“Isn’t this suggestion too unfavorable to unity?” Tang Zinian retorted.

Zhao Yingnan: “No matter what, Qingyou doesn’t have any debts. Let’s eliminate Qingyou first.”

Yu Muhuai nodded and said, “Teacher Jiang and I owe the most. Why don’t the two of us be punished?”

Shu Ling disagreed, “How can we let the two of you be punished for us…”

Before they finished discussing, Wei Zhengrong reminded them, “There are only two choices. Either everyone is punished, or one or two people are punished. There are no other choices.”

“In other words, the six of us can’t be punished together.” Xu Xingzhou said.

The six of them looked at each other. The joy of earning 7,000 yuan in seven days had disappeared without a trace at this moment.

Wei Zhengrong looked at their distressed expressions with satisfaction.

“I’ll give you ten minutes. If you don’t come to an agreement, the punishment will be doubled.”

Everyone: —>

Director Wei was indeed insane!

“Thank goodness Mr. Gu isn’t here,” Tang Zinian whispered. “Otherwise, he wouldn’t have agreed to join us. He’s even considering being a permanent guest in the second season..”
