Chapter 179: Unconventional Path
Just when everyone thought that the director was kindly providing a method to complete the task, they heard him add to the task requirements.
"This task requires the couple to complete it together, with each person completing half of the drawing, and the final layout drawing must not have any traces of alteration."
"There's a stationery store nearby where guests can buy A4 paper and pens. There's no limit on the quantity you can buy."
Jiang Yunyao expressed her understanding.
"Simply put, our task is to collaborate with two people to draw a map. The only thing related to the scenic spot in the task is the content of this map!"
Lu Mucheng concluded, "This task isn't difficult. What you need to pay attention to is not getting distracted while drawing, and making sure you don't make any mistakes."
The other three agreed.
Making mistakes will disrupt their rhythm and increase psychological pressure. The more times they have to start over, the harder it will be to complete.
[Isn't it enough to just have hands?! It's so easy!]
If mistakes aren't allowed, working in pairs is the hardest, right? If one person makes a mistake, the other has to redraw it!
[What a boring boost mission! Why would the production team come up with such a mission?]
[This kind of task is useless except for exacerbating conflicts between couples! I seriously suspect the production team is messing around!]
[If what you said is true, then the production team made a wrong calculation!]
[Yes! The guests are all emotionally stable people, there's no way they'd get angry over a bad picture!]
[Hahahaha, they won't lose their temper, Jiang and Xie will just go crazy! ]
The four of them came to a stationery store, asked for twenty sheets of A4 paper, and then walked to the shelf where pens were placed to choose a suitable pen.
Lu Lin and his friend came together and discussed in a low voice whether to buy pencils.
On the other side of the shelf, Xie Yixing was choosing the color of a highlighter, while Jiang Yunyao was looking at the shelf where paper was placed.
When she finally paid the bill, she took a black pen and five sheets of carbon paper.
Not to mention the audience in the live broadcast room, the other three people couldn't understand what she was thinking.
The four of them left the stationery store, bought tickets at the ticket office, and lined up to enter the Shen residence.
Due to the requirements of the program team, no one went to visit the house, but came to the guide map and prepared to complete the task.
Jiang Yunyao had an idea, but she was not sure whether it would work, so she decided to try it out first!
She took out two A4 papers, inserted a piece of carbon paper in the middle, overlapped the three papers, placed them next to the guide map, and drew the entire map by comparison.
Xie Yixing wanted to call her, but when he thought that she was not someone who would not follow the rules, he swallowed the reminder that was on the tip of his tongue.
After Jiang Yunyao finished the painting, she compared the original picture and the photocopy and found that there was not much difference.
She drew a vertical line in the middle, then took out carbon paper and new A4 paper and put them under the drawing.
"You draw the left side, I'll draw the right side, we just trace the lines!"
Xie Yixing understood now. His eyes lit up and he once again marveled at her cleverness. "This way we won't make any mistakes!"
Jiang Yunyao snapped her fingers, "yes!"
Xie Yixing opened his palm, revealing two highlighters in his hand, and said with some regret, "I shouldn't have bought this earlier!"
"Just buy it!" Jiang Yunyao picked up the pink pen and drew a flower in the upper right corner of the paper. "This way it won't be a waste!"
Xie Yixing's mood instantly turned from gloomy to bright.
[Ahhh, A-Yao is taking care of Xiao-Xie's feelings! She loves him!]
[Oh my god! As expected of Jiang Yunyao! She never takes the usual path! This method will definitely work!]
[The handicapped party is overjoyed! 】
[By the way, is this considered a loophole in the rules? ]
"Who's on the front? How can this be considered taking advantage of a loophole? This is called using your ingenuity, right?"
[I clicked! It's permitted without being told! The question is: Who told the production team not to tell me earlier?!]
As stated in the live broadcast room, the program team did not explain in advance, so it is impossible to determine that Jiang and Xie violated the rules.
In comparison, Lu Lin and the others' operations were much more normal.
They finished drawing with pencils before switching to black and red pens to trace the lines, but since they were more meticulous, their speed was slower.
Jiang and Xie completed their mission, and having nothing better to do, they went to visit the mansion.
After all, the money has been spent! It would be a waste if you don’t go shopping!
But it didn't take long for the two to be disappointed.
This sunken house has the advantage of a long history, but in terms of size and beauty, Mrs. Lin’s private residence is more ornamental and practical!
All four of them completed their tasks and went home without staying here for too long.
Jiang Xie and Jiang Yunyao had just returned to the hotel suite when their phone vibrated twice.
She was busy checking messages and asked Xie Yixing to take a shower first.
Jiang Yunyao clicked on the message box, which showed that Wanwan had transferred 20,000 yuan to her.
Shengxia Wanfeng: "Ayao, we left 20,000 yuan and transferred 20,000 yuan to you. I want to donate the remaining 40,000 yuan."
Shengxia Wanfeng: "Do you have any reliable foundations to recommend?"
Jiang Yunyao doesn’t know much about foundations, and the only one she trusts is the one managed by Ms. Shi!
She found Ms. Shi’s business card and gave it to Lin Wanwan.
After doing all this, Jiang Yunyao looked at the chat records again and found that they did not match.
Demon's Fall: "Didn't you win 100,000? They only gave you 80,000?"
Shengxia Wanfeng: "I paid 20,000 yuan in taxes."
Jiang Yunyao, who had never won a big prize in her two lifetimes: "..."
This tax is too expensive!
When Xie Yixing came out of the shower, Jiang Yunyao told him that Wanwan had transferred the money to them.
Including 20,000 yuan in tax!
[It's hilarious! Jiang Yunyao's face hurts when she mentions the 20,000 yuan tax!]
[Don't talk about her, my heart is bleeding just listening to her! A total of 100,000 yuan, and I paid 1/5 of it in one go!]
[In fact, this amount is far less than the personal income tax paid! If you don't believe it, you can calculate how much personal income tax is for a monthly income of 100,000 yuan!]
[Twenty-seven thousand... I can't even make that much in a month. Another day of crying about my poverty!]
What shocked me even more was that Wanwan donated 40,000 yuan without blinking an eye! How kind!
[That’s right! Our Wanwan is such a beautiful and kind person!]
In the evening, after Jiang and Xie had finished their dinner and were planning to play a few games before going to bed, they received a video call from Mrs. Lin.
After the video was connected, Mrs. Lin's face appeared on the screen.
Jiang Yunyao pulled Xie Yixing over and called out "Grandma" together.
Old Mrs. Lin responded with a smile. She looked very energetic, with all her previous sentimentality gone.
Speaking of which, this call of "Grandma" can be traced back to the last day of the third stop.
A year ago, when Mrs. Lin saw them, she looked so excited because the Lin family had found out about Jiang Yunyao's mother's background.
It is said that Mrs. Lin once gave birth to a daughter, but the child died shortly after birth.
All these years have passed, and the Lin family has always believed that it was a stillbirth.
It was not until Mrs. Lin’s old friend, the old lady called “Sister Gui”, suggested that the Lin family investigate what happened that year that they discovered some clues.
Forty or fifty years ago, the Lin family had not yet reached their current status and lived in an underdeveloped small village.
When Mrs. Lin gave birth, she was sent to the hospital in the county town. Coincidentally, a pregnant woman from another village was also giving birth there.
The hospital was delivering two pregnant women at the same time, and there were not enough nurses. In the chaos, they took the wrong baby and mistakenly gave the dead fetus to the Lin family.
At that time, Grandpa Lin went to the battlefield, and Grandma Lin had just given birth. Since there was no one in charge in the Lin family, they recognized the stillborn baby in a daze.
This mistake lasted for decades.
