Chapter 866 Not an ordinary dog!
Ye Wanxi and her companion's private conversation was not recorded by the earphones and was not noticed by the other guests.
After being led around the garden by the program crew, the group finally arrived at the residential area in the backyard.
This residential area is also quite particular; the north side is where the owners live, while the south side is where the guests live, and several paths separate the two areas in between.
In this way, the host family in the north could move around the house freely, while guests would have to pass through some checkpoints to enter the more private areas, which in a way ensured the safety of the host family's inner quarters.
In addition, a small gate has been opened in the residential area to the south, making it convenient for guests to occasionally go out for a walk, relax, or shop without having to make a long detour through the front hall. It is a very thoughtful touch.
Because of the arrangement of Ye Wanxi and others' identities, Ye Wanxi and Gu Shaoling were able to live in the North Courtyard. Moreover, the North Courtyard was in a superior position, with the first courtyard belonging to the eldest master, the second courtyard to the second master, and the third master and fourth young lady's boudoirs further west.
Li Guangjun and Lin Yuxiu live here, while Zhao Yun'er, despite being a distant cousin, is both a relative and a guest.
Just like Lian Lifan, who was given the identity of an actor, he was assigned to the South Courtyard.
Upon learning of this arrangement, Zhao Yun'er had no objections; on the contrary, she was quite happy.
She was quite interested in the house and wanted to see both the south and north courtyards.
She was assigned to the South Courtyard, while Li Guangjun lived in the North Courtyard. Since they weren't actually the Third Master of the Yang family and a distant cousin of the Yang family, there was no need to avoid any restrictions on the separation of men and women. They could visit each other freely, which gave her a perfect reason to wander around.
In contrast to her silly grin, Lian Lifan's expression was not so good, with a resentful and aggrieved look on his face, as if to say, "I was bullied and isolated, but I still have to endure the humiliation."
Unfortunately, apart from his fans, nobody cares about him at all.
After the director briefly assigned everyone their accommodations, he finally got down to business.
"Now that everyone has a basic understanding of where they will be staying for the next two days, I will announce your first task."
Upon hearing the director's words, everyone immediately abandoned their enthusiasm for sightseeing and became tense.
"Your first task is to figure out your own identity."
"Find out our identities?" The group exchanged bewildered glances. "What kind of mission is this? Aren't our identities written on our cards?"
Meeting the puzzled looks of the crowd, the director coughed lightly and said, "The identity cards we gave you are just to tell you who you represent in this house. You'll have to find out your specific identities yourselves."
Upon hearing this, Li Guangjun narrowed his eyes and quickly grasped the key point: "In other words, besides the identity on the card, we need to obtain more information related to this identity to fill in the details of this character?"
“You could say that.” The director glanced at his watch. “It’s 11 a.m. now. By 6 p.m. tonight, you need to obtain enough identity information to fill in the roles you’ve been assigned. If you fail to complete the task within the allotted time, you will be punished.”
Gu Shaoling tensed up immediately: "What punishment?"
The director raised his chin, a smug look on his face: "It's a secret."
Everyone: "..." There was a sense of foreboding.
"Any more questions? If not, let's call it a day."
As soon as the director finished speaking, Nie Yuyang asked, "Are there any hints? We can't just make up a bunch of identity information out of thin air, can we?"
"Of course there are, but don't try to trick me into telling you. You'll have to find the clues yourselves. I've already told you, do you really need to do it yourselves?" The director said with a haughty snort. "That's it, everyone go home."
Despite saying that, Ye Wanxi and the others did not disperse immediately as the director had instructed. Instead, they huddled together and whispered among themselves.
"I knew that with the director's tendency to love a good show, he wouldn't let us film the program comfortably like we were on vacation. What do you guys think about this task?"
"What else can we do but look for it!"
"Of course I know I need to look, the question is where to look?"
“The room.” Li Guangjun stroked his chin and pondered for a moment. “The director repeatedly emphasized the identities the production team had assigned to us before we even entered the room. Even after we entered, they arranged different accommodations for each of us. This means that they must have already prepared our room. The clue must be inside the room.”
"What you said makes sense, but given the show's track record, do you really think it's that simple?"
It has to be said that Zhao Yun'er's understanding of the program's positioning was quite accurate, and everyone nodded in agreement after hearing her words.
Don't let the clues fail you and you get confused by the show's misdirection; that would be a real loss.
"Anyway, since they've arranged accommodations for us, and it's still early, let's all go in and take a look. We can discuss the rest later."
Everyone nodded, knowing that this was the only way.
Just as they were about to leave, the director, not wanting to be left out, rushed out again, grabbed his large yellow megaphone, and shouted: "Ahem, I forgot to remind you earlier. The furnishings and decorations in your rooms are mostly left by the original owners. There are quite a few antiques and treasures inside. Once you're inside, try not to touch anything on the tables or walls, especially the bottles, jars, and old paintings and calligraphy. If you accidentally bump into or damage even one or two items, the production team will not be responsible."
Everyone: "..." Is something this important something that you can just forget? If we hadn't delayed you for a little while, were you not going to say anything at all?
Even though Gu Shaoling and the others were good-natured, they couldn't help but glare angrily at the director.
The initial joy of entering the house turned into trepidation. Good heavens, this was no paradise on earth, but a ticking time bomb.
If you accidentally bump or knock over an antique, you won't be able to afford to pay for it even if you sell it later.
Given the current situation, they probably won't be able to sleep well tonight.
Who knows if this bed is an antique? What if they break it while sleeping on it? Will we wake up to find ourselves in huge debts?
As expected, the production team is still the same production team, and the director is still the same director—no ordinary dog!
Despite their anger, the group glared at the director for a moment, but seeing that he was truly unfazed and completely disregarded their grief and indignation, they stopped arguing with him and left in a huff.
All three couples left, leaving only Lin Yuxiu and her partner, who were at a loss.
Lin Yuxiu glanced at Lian Lifan, torn between two options: "Brother Fan, we..."
