“Honey, look at this, and this too, these are from this morning.” Gao Li showed the red marks on his shoulders and the back of his neck, saying with great sorrow, “They still hurt so much now.”

Xu Miaotong almost lost her temper.

Doesn't she understand what Gao Li means? He just doesn't want to wash the dishes.

Xu Miaotong forced a smile and said, "Honey, you've worked so hard. You should get some rest."

Gao Li smiled brightly and gave her what he thought was a very handsome wink, saying, "My wife is the best."

[Great oil, great oil! Where's my oil-removing powder and stain-removing powder? Bring them all here!]

Although I don't like either Gao Li or Xu Miaotong, I still have to say that Gao Li really doesn't want to do anything. He carried a few buckets of manure this morning as if it were a monumental task, but he won't do any housework. He's truly a microcosm of many men these days.

Even now, in front of the camera, Gao Li doesn't want to appear diligent. One can only imagine what he's like at home. But he considers himself superior, with servants to wait on him at home.

I have no sympathy for Xu Miaotong; she's just as bad as Gao Li. If it weren't for the need to perform in front of the camera, I feel Xu Miaotong would be even lazier than Gao Li.

On Qin Yuanyao's side.

After lunch, she and Chi Baiyi divided the tasks of cleaning up the dishes and the kitchen. Qin Yuanyao then prepared to take the bowl of spicy baby crabs that she had specially saved out of the kitchen.

Just then, Yao Mu called her, so Qin Yuanyao turned off her microphone and found a place without cameras to answer the call.

"Hey, Sister Mu."

"There's a public service announcement shoot tomorrow afternoon. I'll pick you up at noon and take you to the shoot location. I've already spoken to Director Jiang, and he said all your tasks for this season are scheduled for the morning, with free time in the afternoon. It won't affect the live stream," Yao Mu said simply and concisely.

"What public service advertisement?" Qin Yuanyao asked.

"An advertisement promoting the Heimlich maneuver."

Qin Yuanyao was surprised.

She remembered what Chi Nai had told her before: in the first season, the video of her teaching Grandma Sun the Heimlich maneuver was reposted by an official influencer. Originally, the official team wanted to ask her to film a promotional video for the Heimlich maneuver, but because of her previous poor reputation and too much opposition, they gave up.

Could it be that the company that hired her to film this Heimlich law educational commercial is...?

"Is it that official influencer who shared the video of me teaching Grandma Sun the Heimlich maneuver?"

“Yes,” Yao Mu said affirmatively.

Qin Yuanyao was overjoyed, experiencing a wonderful feeling of having something lost and then found again.

“Although you don’t earn much money shooting these kinds of science popularization ads, they are official science popularization ads. The fact that the government is willing to hire you to shoot them shows that the government recognizes you. This will be very helpful in changing the public’s preconceived notions about you and in your future development,” Yao Mu said, offering her analysis.

Qin Yuanyao nodded repeatedly, "I think so too, I'll do my best in filming!"

Yao Mu smiled silently. "Then I'll pick you up at noon tomorrow."

"Okay!" Before hanging up the phone, Qin Yuanyao said again, "Thank you, Sister Mu."

"No need to thank me. I'm your agent, we're in the same boat. If you're doing well, I'm doing well. I'm just doing my job."

Even though Yao Mu said that, Qin Yuanyao was still very grateful to her.

She knew that if this had happened to her former manager, Yu Xin, Yu Xin would have definitely turned it down for her.

Qin Yuanyao put away her phone, served the spicy baby crabs, and was about to leave.

"Sister Qin, where are you going? I want to go too!" Chi Nao ran out of the room.

"It's very sunny and hot outside," Qin Yuanyao reminded her.

"I'm not afraid." Chi Naoqi puffed out her little chest. "I'm fair-skinned, so I'm not afraid."

[Okay, I've discovered another new attribute of cheese: narcissism, hahaha]

[Little Cheese wasn't wrong again, fair-skinned people really aren't afraid of the sun, and their skin will even regain its fair color after sun exposure. Tears well up, I really envy those of you who never get tanned!]

Whose call did Qin Yuanyao just receive? She seemed to be in a better mood after the call; there was a faint smile on her face.

I don't care whose call she answered; I only care where she's taking this bowl of spicy baby crabs.

[Oh really? Just a bowl of spicy baby crabs? Is Qin Yuanyao going to give it to Director Jiang? To bribe him??]

[That's possible. In the first season, Qin Yuanyao bought steamed buns for the cameraman. She was going to give them to Director Jiang, which is something she would do.]

Qin Yuanyao is really cunning; she knows who to please.

[She's basically using someone else's talent to curry favor with Director Jiang, like using the crabs she painstakingly caught in the human pool. Haha]

Qin Yuanyao then went out with Chi Naozhi.

However, viewers in the live stream saw that they went in the opposite direction from the farmhouse where Director Jiang and his staff were staying.

Viewers were puzzled as to where Qin Yuanyao was taking the spicy crabs.

After Xu Miaotong finished cleaning the kitchen, she went to the front of the house to look at the rural scenery and happened to catch a glimpse of Qin Yuanyao leading Chi Naozi and turning to the side.

She also noticed with her sharp eyes that Qin Yuanyao seemed to be holding a bowl of crabs in her other hand.

Xu Miaotong pretended to continue admiring the rural scenery, but her eyes were constantly watching Qin Yuanyao and the others out of the corner of her eye.

It wasn't until she saw with her own eyes that Qin Yuanyao and Chi Naozhi entered the farmhouse where Guo Zhuyan and the others were staying.

The viewers in the live stream were also surprised.

[Did Qin Yuanyao leave some spicy baby crabs for Teacher Guo and the others?]

[Qin Yuanyao didn't have much interaction with Teacher Guo and the others on the show, so why did she specifically save some for them?]

That's why I say Qin Yuanyao is very scheming. She's not as innocent and unassuming as she seems on the surface. Isn't it obvious why she left room for Teacher Guo and the others? Qin Yuanyao wants to be an actress and wants more roles. Teacher Guo and his wife are both actors, and they have the resources for that. Why wouldn't she curry favor with Teacher Guo and the others, instead of with singer Teacher Feng?

[By the way, Qin Yuanyao hasn't signed with a new agency yet, right? Could it be that she's trying to curry favor with Guo Degang or Ye Laoshi because she wants to join their agency?]

[Upstairs, I think you've hit the nail on the head. Qin Yuanyao is definitely planning something like this! Both Teacher Guo and Teacher Ye work for good agencies, especially Teacher Ye's Zonghai Entertainment, which is a veteran entertainment company. If Qin Yuanyao can really get into Zonghai Entertainment through Ye Rui's connection, her future development should be quite promising.]

So, Qin Yuanyao's schemes could be heard all the way across the Pacific. Zonghai Entertainment isn't some shady little company she used to work for; why would they consider an artist like her with no work and no acting skills? She's really got her head in the sand. While she was indeed held back by Yueyao Entertainment, with her current qualifications and status, she's not qualified to join Zonghai Entertainment.
