Chapter 147 Are we recording the same program?

An hour later, the production team gathered all seven guests in the living room on the first floor, saying they had something important to say.

Seven people sat around a sofa, with five photographers already in position at different locations, indicating that it was indeed a very important event.

Director Wen cleared his throat and said, "The first thing, as you all have probably seen, is that Professor Huo is unable to participate in our program due to personal reasons. So today we have a new guest. This is Dr. Qin. Dr. Qin, please give us a brief self-introduction."

Dr. Qin stood up, nodded politely, and exuded a refined and approachable air. He said in a generous manner, "Hello everyone, my name is Qin Yuechuan, I am 29 years old, and I am a doctor specializing in neurology. If you can't remember my name, you can call me Dr. Qin, I'm used to it."

So everyone applauded to welcome Dr. Qin.

Seeing everyone so united, Director Wen was very satisfied: "Then, there's the second thing, which concerns tomorrow's program recording. We'll now play a video, please watch it carefully."

Upon receiving the instruction, the assistant director promptly turned on the television and played the video.

Everyone was curious about what important content the video would contain, but when they opened it, it turned out to be an advertisement for an online shopping mall—

"…Shopping is incredibly efficient! Orders arrive the next day! Fresh and high-quality goods, no long waits, enjoy a convenient life! No more waiting for what you expect!"

Everyone's expression froze instantly: "..."

Director Wen: "Hey, hey, hey, what's with those expressions? Can't you guys have a little respect for our sugar daddy? Smile!"

Calling people down to gather in the middle of the night just to watch an advertisement is really hard to laugh at.

However, out of respect for the sponsors, everyone still managed to force a few fake smiles.

After the five-minute-long, tedious commercial ended, the director finally revealed the program content for tomorrow: "Tomorrow we will lead everyone away from our villa to the beautiful seaside, where we will have a free day from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. tomorrow."

However, there's a condition: all food, drinks, and entertainment tomorrow will be at everyone's own expense, but we will provide each person with 50 yuan for living expenses.

Ke Shuai pursed his lips and muttered under his breath, "Fifty yuan a day should be enough to get by."

Director Wen seemed to be deliberately shattering his illusions, and continued, "Oh, right, I forgot to tell you all that the seaside is a tourist area and prices are relatively high. The cheapest bowl of noodles costs 30 yuan, and a bottle of water costs 10 yuan."

"..." As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent, and the air seemed to stand still.

That's going a bit too far.

Only Zhang Mo, expressionless, instantly understood the production team's sinister intentions: "So the production team is very kind and has introduced us to a convenient and fast shopping platform in advance. The things we buy today will arrive the next morning, which can save us a lot of money in our poor lives, right?"

Director Wen's eyes lit up, and he praised with delight, "Wow! Mr. Zhang is truly a professional; he grasps things so quickly!"

Others: Ugh, why didn't you say so earlier? Turns out you just wanted to advertise for the shopping mall!

Director Wen clapped his hands: "Now we will give everyone half an hour to shop. Please complete your self-service order by filling in our villa area address. The order amount must be kept under 50 yuan. If you don't spend all the money, we will give you the extra money in cash tomorrow."

Please return to your rooms to place your orders during this segment; no discussion between individuals is allowed. Tomorrow night at 9 PM, we will tally everyone's remaining balance. The person with the most remaining balance will receive a gift package from our sponsor. So please do your best!

Jiang Jun is a food blogger, Liang Xiaoyue is an online writer, and Ke Shuai is a fitness blogger. All three of them are very good at using social media. Dr. Qin also buys books online regularly. Online shopping is a very common thing for them.

But Bai Tianjiao, the young master, is different. He studied abroad, where online shopping wasn't popular. After returning to China and becoming a celebrity, he didn't use online shopping apps himself due to privacy concerns; his assistant bought everything he needed. He was completely clueless in this area.

So he subconsciously looked to his nephew, Dr. Qin, for help.

Just then, Jiang Mian, who was in the same direction as him, also turned her pleading eyes to Zhang Mo.

Bai Tianjiao felt a sudden pang of bitterness in her heart, as if she had swallowed a lemon.

I only met Qin Yuechuan because we're relatives!

What is your relationship with her? What gives you the right to look at her?

They're just employees and the boss, why are they staring at each other like that?

What are you pretending to be so weak for! You green tea b*tch!

Driven by a resentful mindset of "If I'm not having a good time, neither should you," Bai Tianjiao took the lead and stood up, saying, "Since the production team said that discussion is not allowed, let's all go back to our rooms first."

Director Wen praised, "Xiaobai was very enthusiastic today! He's right, everyone go upstairs. Let me reiterate, you must place your orders independently. Our photographers will be watching you. No WeChat discussions allowed!"

Jiang Mian was dumbfounded: "Huh?"

He even planned to go back to his room and secretly ask his boss for advice via WeChat.

Zhang Mo sighed helplessly: "..." Oh well, there's really no way to save Jiang Mian this time. Anyway, he's a monster, he shouldn't starve to death in a day.

.

The package arrived at 8:30 the next morning.

Director Wen seized the opportunity to show off, leaving the guests waiting on the sidelines while he spent several shots filming the delivery, emphasizing the efficiency, speed, security, and confidentiality of this shopping experience.

Their level of dedication is truly commendable and worthy of the sponsors' trust.

While the others waited idly, Zhang Mo greatly admired Director Wen's professionalism in putting sponsors first, and casually remarked, "We'll hire you when our company shoots commercials in the future."

Upon hearing this, Director Wen immediately changed his tune, smiling broadly: "Thank you, boss! Oh dear, I'm so sorry to have kept Mr. Zhang waiting for so long!"

Zhang Mo said calmly, "Be more careful next time."

Director Wen nodded hurriedly, "Okay, okay!"

Everyone: "......"

Sometimes I really wonder if we're recording the same show.
