They have noticed that Director Jiang announced the assets of each family from lowest to highest.

Therefore, they were more or less mentally prepared that Chi Baiyi and his family's assets must be at least fifty yuan.

If it were 86 yuan, it would be barely acceptable.

But if it's 186 yuan, that's simply not right!

"186 yuan," Director Jiang repeated affirmatively.

"How could there be so much left?" Xu Miaotong asked, puzzled. "The travel expenses, accommodation fees, and food expenses combined are quite substantial! Even Teacher Guo and the others only have 49 yuan left, and they only need to pay for one room..."

At this point, Xu Miaotong seemed to suddenly remember something and asked Qin Yuanyao for confirmation, "You should be staying in two rooms, right?"

Qin Yuanyao replied calmly, "Yes, two rooms."

Xu Miaotong seemed relieved and continued to calculate with everyone: "Yuan Yao and the others spent twice as much on accommodation as us, so their expenses must have been more than all of ours combined. Even if they had more money left, it's impossible for them to have almost as much as the start-up capital the production team gave us. It's like they didn't spend any money at all."

"Mr. Chi, what kind of job did you find yesterday?" Gao Li asked.

Chi Baiyi ignored him and glanced at Qin Yuanyao.

Qin Yuanyao: "..."

She's become the spokesperson for their intern family, hasn't she?!

Feng Wenhe noticed Chi Baiyi's actions and scoffed inwardly.

“We were selling apples yesterday,” Qin Yuanyao said.

When they learned that they were selling apples, everyone suddenly realized.

"There's a reward for selling a lot of apples, just like when Teacher Feng and his friends sold a lot of clothes. It's just that Teacher Feng and his friends were unlucky later and lost their money." Gao Li said knowingly.

“President Chi runs such a large group, he must have a lot of experience in marketing. Selling apples is just a small business for him, no wonder you have so much money left over.” Xu Miaotong also had an “I understand” look on her face.

"President Chi is still the best. We can't compare to him," Ge Zhi laughed.

Zhuo Ranjun chimed in, "We should learn more from President Chi."

Feng Wenhe could tell that some people were flattering him, and she scoffed at them in her heart.

“I didn’t make much money selling apples, it’s not my achievement,” Chi Baiyi coldly interrupted them.

Everyone was stunned.

Wasn't it his achievement?

Could it be Qin Yuanyao's?

But Chi Baiyi also said that they didn't make much money selling apples, so how come they had so much money left?

Director Jiang has revealed the answer to the mystery.

He told everyone about Qin Yuanyao's outrageous antics yesterday.

Everyone was stunned, inwardly marveling: "Is that even possible?! Is that even possible?!"

"So that's how it is!" Ye Rui exclaimed, giving Qin Yuanyao a thumbs up: "Xiao Yao, you're amazing, so smart and observant."

Qin Yuanyao was a little embarrassed by her praise and smiled, "It's alright, I was just lucky."

Xu Miaotong felt a pang of jealousy.

She thought Qin Yuanyao had won by default thanks to Chi Baiyi. Little did she know, Qin Yuanyao was the one who stole the show!

"Yes, she's really amazing," Xu Miaotong said, feigning concern.

Others followed suit, giving a thumbs-up or offering words of praise.

Why didn't everyone initially think it was because of Qin Yuanyao? Everyone seemed to take it for granted that their group had so much money left because of President Chi.

[That's normal. President Chi manages a large corporation. Besides her numerous scandals, what else does Qin Yuanyao have? Who would have thought it was because of her?]

When everyone initially thought it was CEO Chi, some of the guests' fawning attitude was a bit too obvious.

[That's the CEO of the Chi Group! Ordinary people might never even meet him in their entire lives, so it's normal to be a little obsequious. Maybe if you met CEO Chi, you'd be even more obsequious than the guests!]

When Xu Miaotong specifically asked Qin Yuanyao if she and President Chi were staying in separate rooms, emmmm...it's a bit teary-eyed.

[You're the one who's a tea bitch! Your whole family is a tea bitch! Tongtong asked this because Qin Yuanyao has a bad reputation and is always trying to ride on someone else's coattails and engage in backroom deals. Did you see Tongtong ask any of the other guests?]

[I agree with the previous comment about Xu Miaotong's tea skills. Not only is she skilled in tea, but she also seems very inclined to curry favor with President Chi.]

[Does my sister Tong need to please others? My sister Tong is known for her eloquence and emotional intelligence! She knows when to say the right things; that's how you survive in society!]

...

After discussing the assets of each family, Director Jiang began to assign tasks for the day.

"Your task today is to take your children to pick vegetables in the garden and then sell them at the town market. The price of the vegetables will be determined by our production team. The first group to sell all their vegetables will get priority in choosing ingredients for dinner and will also receive a reward of fifty yuan."

"Prioritize choosing ingredients for dinner?" Ye Rui asked. "We have to cook dinner ourselves?"

Director Jiang nodded with a smile: "Yes."

Going to the town market to sell vegetables? I live in the countryside, and the market starts really early here. It's already 7:30. By the time they finish picking the vegetables and take them to the market, it won't be until 9:00 at the earliest, which is way past the peak market hours.

Just as someone raised this question in the live chat, Director Jiang provided an answer.

"Normally, you should go to the market early, the earlier the better. But the production team considered that everyone was too tired yesterday and wanted everyone to sleep in a little longer, so they didn't wake everyone up earlier." Director Jiang had a "Our production team is super considerate, right?" look on his face.
