Jiang Hexi turned her head and looked earnestly at the three bigwigs who had remained silent throughout:

"The three of us are responsible for devising strategies, but the specific implementation will depend on what Yan Jie, Shen Yingyu, and Xie Wanyi do in the future."

Chu Yang clasped his hands together in a fist and said, "Brothers, I'm counting on you."

Yu Xiangwan chimed in, "Your abilities are evident to all the viewers in the live stream. Don't let everyone down easily."

With the atmosphere built up to this point, the three big shots had no choice but to step in.

These three old men are all talk and no action, but when you ask them about the actual content, they fall silent.

[Director Chen, don't be fooled by their lies. Beekeeping is just an excuse; they have no intention of digging up the ground to grow vegetables!]

I think I've been brainwashed by them, what should I do? I know those three are lying through their teeth, but I still think what they're saying makes a lot of sense!

The three big shots were practically roasted over a fire by their incompetent teammates; their burnt-looking faces were absolutely hilarious.

Shen Yingyu borrowed the director's phone, searched for information online, and then said, "This beekeeping plan is feasible."

Yan Jie asked him, "How are the costs calculated?"

"The cost of one beehive is less than 150 yuan, so ten hives would cost 1,500 yuan."

How much profit did you make?

"If we assume that each beehive produces 20 jin of honey, and each jin of raw honey is packaged and sold for 50 yuan, then ten beehives could bring in 10,000 yuan a year. This is the theoretical result."

Yan Jie commented, "It's easy and pay-to-win; beekeeping is definitely better than growing vegetables."

The group finalized the decision in front of Director Chen: to first try raising ten beehives in the vegetable garden.

Shen Yingyu brought a basket of peaches from the kitchen into the living room and placed it in front of the three mukbang (eating broadcast) crew.

Jiang Hexi and Chu Yang exchanged a glance and knew that the newly picked peaches were now available for sale on Taobao. However, the aftereffects of their last mukbang were still lingering, and both of them were still a little apprehensive.

"We're the only two doing this mukbang, and most viewers are probably getting tired of it."

Jiang Hexi shifted the blame, saying, "Actor Xie rarely comes here. How can we not let him peel a peach from Canglang Village on the spot?"

Chu Yang stood up and offered the sofa in the center position: "Thank you, Best Actor, please."

Director Chen picked up the microphone and sternly reprimanded, "Jiang Hexi scores 100 points. This is a warning to the female guest: do not maliciously insert product names into the live stream."

Jiang Hexi couldn't help but think to herself, "How can the director be so serious?"

Xie Wanyi, who had been sitting on the sofa as a background figure, was suddenly called upon. His eyes flickered, and boundless joy spread across them. He readily agreed:

“I can use peaches as props to perform an impromptu skit for everyone, but I need someone to act opposite me.”

Director Chen: Who would you like to act opposite?

Chu Yang looked over excitedly, almost raising his hands and shouting "Pick me! Pick me!"

Xie Wanyi's gaze swept straight past him and landed steadily on Yu Xiangwan:

"Wanwan—"

Yu Xiangwan's tightly taut heartstrings snapped with a "crack".

Why did my brother choose Yu Xiangwan, that drama queen, for his impromptu performance? I can't stand it!

[His brother is already lowering his standards by endorsing peaches, how can he possibly act alongside a variety show personality like Yu Xiangwan? His market value is dropping again and again, why hasn't his management company intervened yet?]

[Could you please take a look at my son, Xiao Baiyang, and give him a chance? He absolutely loves acting.]

Everyone withdrew from the live stream, making room for the two to perform their skit on the living room sofa.

Yu Xiangwan leaned back on the sofa with her arms crossed and her legs crossed. Her stunningly beautiful face was full of indifferent mockery towards the people around her.

Xie Wanyi picked up a peach with one hand, pressed a knife against the peel with her left hand, and steadied herself.

Director Chen cleared his throat twice and then announced, "Action—"

Xie Wanyi held the knife in her left hand, peeled off a thin strip of fruit peel, and asked in a low voice, "Still angry?"

The ingratiating tone was obvious.

Yu Xiangwan snapped out of her daze and glanced at him.

“I didn’t mean to hide my relationship with you, it’s just that the obsessive fans back then were all so crazy, and I was afraid of getting you involved.”

Xie Wanyi paused slightly as she peeled the skin, her eyes filled with deep affection as she said, "You've never been someone who can't be seen in the light of day."

A flurry of footsteps sounded and abruptly stopped outside the staff area.

Jiang Hexi saw Xie Wanyi's agent standing with his hands on his hips outside the camera's view. The fierce and threatening look in his eyes made her, who knew the inside story and was at the forefront of the gossip, realize that Xie, the movie star, was serious!

In the live broadcast, Yu Xiangwan rudely slapped Xie Wanyi across the face and said:

"Are you finished speaking?"

Xie Wanyi peeled the fruit peel thinner and thinner until it was about to break, at which point he suddenly uttered a sound:

"How about we get back together?"

"Can't one peach shut you up?"

To stop him from continuing, Yu Xiangwan snatched the half-peeled peach and stuffed it into his mouth, saying, "If that's not enough, I'll stuff a second one in."

Xie Wanyi took a big bite of the juicy peach from her hand.

Yu Xiangwan was startled and withdrew his hand, but Xie Wanyi held his wrist tightly and pushed the peach towards his mouth.

He took another juicy bite and ate half of the peach, his gaze towards her long and drawn-out.

"You've already fed me peaches, what are you still arguing about? We're back to normal."

Director Chen, fearing a livestream mishap that might attract a bunch of die-hard fans to the livestream and ignite a fierce online battle, shouted:

"Cut-cut-cut-cut, the skit has come to an end. Both guests performed very well."
