Chapter 35: Favoritism from the Program Crew

The work of helping out is relatively easy, and since there are so many of them, they don’t feel overwhelmed when they are busy.

They helped peel garlic, peel potatoes and wash vegetables, and cleaned the cafeteria afterward.

Without the task of cooking, the guests soon had some free time after finishing their preliminary work as helpers.

The school cafeteria is very close to the playground. Some students from some classes are taking physical education classes, and the second half of the class is free time.

Many students were playing basketball, kicking shuttlecock and jumping rope on the court. Everyone was laughing and having fun together.

Qi Zhen saw that the basketball was getting restless, and his eyes stayed on the court. He thought that he had nothing to do for a while, so he might as well go over and play with them for a while.

Seeing that Lu Jinsen happened to be next to him, he politely asked, "I'm going to play basketball with them. Do you want to come?"

Lu Jinsen frowned slightly and was about to refuse, but Qi Zhen's words happened to be heard by Meng Chuyuan.

Before Lu Jinsen could react, Meng Chuyuan interrupted, "Go ahead, go play with them for a while."

Lu Jinsen: “…”

After Meng Chuyuan said this, Qi Zhen looked at him with even more expectation, making it difficult for him to refuse.

[I want to ask, can Lu Jinsen play basketball? ]

[Looking at his sour face, I feel like playing basketball is not his strong point, hahahaha]

I saw the young master's mouth move a little bit, maybe he wanted to refuse, but was accidentally interrupted by Sister Meng.

[What?! Lu Jinsen can't play basketball? Then wouldn't his height be for nothing?]

[Who cares if he can do it or not? I just want to see the handsome Qi Zhen play basketball.]

Lu Jinsen hesitated for a while, but finally went to the basketball court with Qi Zhen.

Just then, a male classmate shot a basketball, but the ball missed the basket. Qi Zhen happened to be running towards him and reached out to catch the basketball without fear.

Qi Zhen's actions just now attracted the attention of the students, especially when they saw him catch the ball effortlessly, they all showed surprise and admiration.

Qi Zhen walked over and returned the ball to the student who had shot the ball. He said gently, "Can we join you? We want to play basketball too."

They were short, and had to look up when looking at Lu Jinsen and Qi Zhen, as if they were looking at giants.

Hearing that they wanted to join, everyone nodded without hesitation and agreed: "Sure."

"Can you play guard?"

The one who was speaking was the student holding the ball. He was a little chubby and looked very cute. He was the best among his classmates.

Qi Zhen smiled and said in disbelief, "Wow, what grade are you in? You're so young and you already know about guards?"

"Third grade." He gestured with his hands.

Seeing that Lu Jinsen hadn't spoken, the student looked up at him and asked, "Brother, can you also play defense?"

Lu Jinsen glanced at him and said calmly, "Who are you looking down on?"

[Holy crap! Is the young master really that arrogant?]

[Absolutely! The young master has left the little fat boy speechless. Hahaha, his young heart has been hurt a thousand times.]

"Hey, big brother, can you please learn from Qi Zhen and be a little more patient with children?"

[It's okay for this brat to have a sour face every day, but he doesn't even restrain himself in front of children. Our brother Qi Zhen is still better, he is gentle in every way.]

When the Liao sisters saw Lu Jinsen and Qi Zhen playing basketball, they also wanted to find something to do, so they set their sights on several female classmates who were playing shuttlecock.

Liao Jiake glanced at Qi Yan and Meng Chuyuan and asked, "Sisters, do you want to play shuttlecock with us?"

"Thank you. I won't go. I don't know how to play." It was a rare break time, so Qi Yan didn't want to go with them.

But she didn't expect Meng Chuyuan to also reject Liao Jiake's invitation: "You guys go."

Qi Yan didn't want to appear in the same frame with Meng Chuyuan, but the program team only opened three live broadcast rooms, one group was filming Lu Jinsen and Qi Zhen, and the other group was filming the Liao sisters.

She behaved in an erratic manner and did not communicate with Meng Chuyuan privately.

However, Meng Chuyuan only stayed in the cafeteria for a while and soon got up and went to the kitchen.

When the director saw Meng Chuyuan leaving, he winked at the photographer and told him to follow quickly.

Qi Yan was about to breathe a sigh of relief after seeing Meng Chuyuan leave, but who knew that the photographer also ran away with Meng Chuyuan.

After losing the camera, Qi Yan's face turned very ugly. She looked up at the director with some doubt: "Director, why did my photographer run away?"

The director seemed not to have heard clearly and replied calmly: "What's yours?"

Qi Yan was anxious and emphasized again: "Photographer! How can I broadcast the live broadcast if he runs away?"

Although she didn't want to be in the same frame with Meng Chuyuan, she didn't say she didn't want the live camera.

"Oh, live broadcast." The director raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "Why don't you go to the kitchen and take a look?"

"Why do you want me to go to the kitchen?"

"Then just sit back and rest until they come back."

Qi Yan: “…”

Meng Chuyuan came to the kitchen at the right time. She knew that the cook might be cooking at this moment, so she came over to take a look.

She walked into the kitchen, first glanced at the amount of food prepared, then looked at the cook and said, "Uncle, you usually have two people cooking, can you handle it?"

After hearing this, the cook smiled and said to her, "It's no problem for two people. We use that big pot and can usually cook it in two batches."

After all, the kitchen is so small and there are only a limited number of stoves, so it’s useless even if there are more people cooking.

Meng Chuyuan: "Is there anything I can help with?"

Since she was free anyway, she wanted to find something to do.

Who says Sister Meng only knows how to play badly? She always helps when it's due. I don't know how hardworking she is. She's truly an angel on earth.

[Sister Meng: Although I didn't join the chef team, I can do something else]

[It can be seen that Sister Meng is very concerned about this mission]

[Ahhh, I'm impressed by Sister Meng's handsomeness again. If this continues, my sexual orientation might really be in trouble.]

The cook thought for a moment, then said, "You can help cook two pots of soup."

"Okay." Meng Chuyuan immediately started to clean the pot of soup skillfully. "What do you need to put in the pot?"

"Make a pot of seaweed egg drop soup and a pot of bone and winter melon soup. Just keep it simple. The eggs and seaweed are in the cabinet below."

"clear."

Meng Chuyuan filled both pots with water and turned on the power. Then he cleaned the bones, cut the winter melon into pieces and put them into the pot to cook. He then soaked the seaweed in a basin and finally beat a few eggs into a bowl and stirred them evenly.

…

The cook originally wanted to teach her how to do it, but he didn't expect Meng Chuyuan's movements to be so skillful that one could tell at a glance that she was a veteran.

Although it was just an ordinary soup, Meng Chuyuan did not do it perfunctorily. She not only removed the fishy smell from the seaweed egg drop soup, but also added a few pitted red dates to the winter melon soup, so that the soup would taste sweeter.
