At 10:30 a.m., the seven guests gathered in the living room on the first floor.

All seven of them had just woken up; although their eyes were clear, their heads were still a little dizzy. When the assistant director spoke while holding up the little bee, all seven pairs of eyes stared blankly at him.

"...Today, everyone has only one task, which is the one-day gardener experience I just mentioned. Is that alright?"

"..." The seven heads shook in unison.

[Hahahaha, they're all still half asleep! You'll have to take responsibility this morning!]

[Assistant Director: We're going to be gardeners for a day. Guest: What kind of shrimp paste? Is it tasty?]

Don't be fooled by these seven people standing here so obediently; their souls have long been hijacked by the blankets!

You mean, it wasn't them who woke up, but... puppets of the production team!

Wow, that's terrifying! We need to report this to the United Nations immediately.

"No problem, let's go!" The assistant director said in a very casual tone, herding the group of sleepy guests onto the car like ducks.

The weather was still great, with bright sunshine and a vast, clear blue sky.

The van was driving along the coastal highway. The live broadcast camera didn't film the guests, but instead focused on the endless blue coastline and lush palm groves outside the window.

Wow, the production team really knows how to choose a location; it's so beautiful!

[So beautiful, it feels like freedom, waaaah, I want to quit my job again.]

Turn yourself in for me.

[Damn it, the world is so big, why do I have to be stuck in an office like a slave for the rest of my life!]

Are they still hiring trees in that palm grove? I could stand there for a year.

The van circled half of Flower Island along the road before finally stopping at another entrance to Monet's Garden.

The person in charge of the garden was already waiting at the entrance, and they greeted the assistant guide with smiles as soon as he got out of the car.

The assistant director shook hands with the head of the organization, then casually introduced the guests behind him: "These seven people are the temporary workers I found for you."

Seven temporary workers: "?"

The person in charge was all smiles, unable to hide his excitement even before he had started using these temporary workers.

"Alright, alright, everyone, follow me."

Monet's Garden covers a large area, but almost every visible part is filled with flowers, such a massive project must have been extremely labor-intensive.

To thank the person in charge for providing the filming location, the production team sent seven guests over as temporary workers to offset the location fee.

"I'll take you all to change your clothes first. As gardeners, you'll be constantly surrounded by soil, and if you don't change your work clothes, you'll get your own clothes dirty."

The person in charge is named Shen Jianshan, a very cheerful middle-aged man. He was all smiles from the moment he met the guests and spoke in a very friendly manner.

Fang Lei walked behind him with his hands behind his back and asked with a smile, "Brother Shen, do all the employees at the garden start work at this time? I saw quite a few people rushing to clock in on my way here."

Shen Jianshan: "Yes, all the employees in our garden start work at 11 a.m.."

"Wow, that's great!" Ning Shi exclaimed enviously.

Shen Jianshan chuckled, "What's so great about it? Although we start work late here, the pay is high and we get eight days off a month."

"...Do you think I have a chance to be promoted?" Zhu Jinzhao asked, echoing the sentiments of all the guests.

Holy crap, this job is amazing! Are they hiring? I could work myself to death!

[Hahaha, take it easy! Even though they have short working hours, high pay, and lots of vacation time, their working environment is great! Damn it, I might as well be dead.]

Are you hiring for your garden? We'd be happy to hire flowers, or even just mud! My boss always calls me "dog shit," but I can totally cosplay as mud!

[Haha, I just got paid this morning, 2621.7 yuan. I was actually quite happy and decided to slack off and watch a live stream, but now I feel a little like jumping off a building. (heart emoji)]

"It's not possible to transfer it." Shen Jianshan waved his hand. "Our garden's staff is already at full capacity, and we're no longer hiring outside the company."

"Sigh..." Fang Lei sighed regretfully, "As expected, there's never a shortage of people for good jobs."

“Indeed.” Shi Jing agreed with him. “Several core departments of Shiyun Group have not recruited any people for three years.”

Ning Shi: "Because the benefits are good, no one wants to leave?"

“Of course.” Shi Jing raised an eyebrow. “With the current economic climate so bad, there are plenty of people scrambling to do those tough, tiring jobs with poor pay. Only an employee of a company like Shiyun Group, which strictly adheres to labor laws, would be crazy to even think about quitting.”

Shen Jianshan chimed in, "That's right..."

As they spoke, the group had already arrived at the garden's storeroom. The storeroom was divided into two halves, one for cultivating flowers and the other for storing miscellaneous items.

The half that is used for storing miscellaneous items also serves as a rest area for employees.

Shen Jianshan led the seven guests on a brief tour of the warehouse, and then gave each of them a set of work clothes and told them to go to the changing room to change.

After changing clothes, the assistant director immediately announced the rules for the day's gardener task.

"Today's task is a scoring system. The three teams are divided into groups based on their partners. Each group may have a different task, but the difficulty is about the same."

"The scoring criteria are very simple: the group that completes the task better will receive the highest score."

"Oh..." All the guests nodded in unison.

Assistant Director: "The scoring criteria range from a maximum of ten points to a minimum of zero points. The scores will not only determine the quality of each group's meals tonight, but also which group will win the title of Best Partners this episode."

"So everyone, please complete your tasks diligently and don't slack off!"

Fang Lei scoffed dismissively: "We're incredibly dedicated, how could we possibly slack off?"

"Heh..." the assistant director sneered, "In order to motivate the team members, the production team has specially set up a very humane rule - you can cause trouble!"

"...What do you mean?" Su Ying didn't understand.

"Heh heh..." The assistant director grinned mischievously, "It means that teams can harass each other to prevent the other team from achieving a higher mission completion rate than themselves."

"ah……"

As soon as this rule was announced, the expressions of the seven guests immediately became somewhat strange.

[Holy crap, I can smell the gunpowder! This production team really knows how to have fun!]

[Let's fight! Let's fight! Let's fight!]

[Throw mud! Throw mud! Throw mud!]

"I may not be number one, but my competitors must be number one!"

Assistant Director: "To be fair, the production team will lend two temporary apprentices to the two teams with fewer members to achieve a balance in the number of people."

"Now, please proceed to your respective mission areas according to the instructions in the text message. Your mentors are already waiting there."

As soon as the assistant director finished speaking, the three photographers returned to their positions and pointed their live-stream cameras at the groups of guests they were responsible for.

“Text message…” Zhu Jinzhao took out his phone and checked the task text message sent by the program team.

"First mission location: South of the garden, Rose Square."

"First mission location: South of the garden, Chrysanthemum Paradise."

Su Ying's voice slowly rose, following the last note of Zhu Jinzhao's song. Unfortunately, the two sworn enemies' mission locations were next to each other.
