Chapter 874 There are two more faces!
After hearing what the two said, the director's face twitched involuntarily, and he had a complicated expression on his face that said, "This young lady is really good. She dares to tell the truth and isn't afraid of me making things difficult for you."
However, he then realized something and laughed gleefully.
"Don't praise me yet. Although this food is your dinner tonight, it's not something you can just eat casually. You have to complete your mission."
The smiles on Zhao Yun'er and the others' faces froze instantly, and their gazes toward the director were filled with shock and indignation. Did they really have to be so ruthless?!
Sure enough, the director is still the same director; they shouldn't be happy too soon.
"Don't look at me like that." The director's face was full of an infuriating smile as he said smugly, "I've already said it before, your first task is to find out your hidden identities. Complete the task and you can enjoy this free meal tonight, but if you fail..."
"How about it?"
"Of course there's no food. The production team isn't a charity; this meal is very expensive."
"..."
Everyone watched as the director clutched his chest, looking distressed, and secretly cursed him as a drama queen.
I just said that the production team has no shortage of money, but now they're feeling sorry for the cost of this meal. You, the director, have two faces!
"Alright, enough talk. If we take too long, the food will get cold and won't taste good. Who wants to go first?"
Ye Wanxi and the others exchanged glances, and finally Li Guangjun took the initiative to suggest, "Let's do it one by one according to the order of each room." After saying that, he looked at Nie Yuyang and Feng Tianyu for their opinion.
Feng Tianyu was the first to speak: "I have no objection."
Nie Yuyang quickly echoed, "I have no objection either."
Lian Lifan was a step too late, his smile somewhat forced, and he gritted his teeth as he said, "I have no objection either."
"Alright, Mr. Nie and Miss Gu, you can go first." The director made the final decision, looking at Nie Yuyang and Miss Gu: "Your hidden identities are..."
Nie Yuyang tightened his grip on Gu Shaoling's hand and said loudly, "I am the eldest master of the Yang family, the head of the Yang family, and the manager of the Yang family grain shop."
"A grain shop? You mean you're a grain merchant?"
"That's right. To be precise, the Yang family made their fortune in grain and were the largest grain merchants in the area."
"How did you tell that?"
“In the courtyard where we live, there is a rice seedling. This rice seedling is placed in a very bright spot, but because the rice seedling has not yet produced ears, people who have never handled rice seedlings will not recognize it as a rice seedling at all. They will just think of it as some unfamiliar exotic flower or plant that has not yet reached its flowering season. This is the first clue.”
"Is there a second hint?"
"Yes. Around lunchtime, the butler who called himself Old Wang came with a group of people to deliver food. He casually mentioned that this year the weather has been favorable, with plenty of rain and sunshine, resulting in plump grains and delicious cooked rice."
"Generally speaking, the people who pay special attention to the quality of grain are those who grow it and those who harvest it."
According to the program team, and considering the grandeur of the house, the Yang family is not only a large family, but also a wealthy family with considerable assets.
As the breadwinner of his family, Grandpa Yang couldn't possibly be the one who handled the grain; he could only be a grain buyer, a grain merchant.
"So, I'm a grain merchant, and a big grain merchant, right?"
Despite Nie Yuyang's seemingly reasonable explanation, he was actually quite uncertain, fearing that he might have missed some information or guessed the wrong identity, leaving Gu Shaoling exhausted and unable to eat dinner that night.
"Mr. Nie's answer..." The director gave him a deep look, remained silent for a moment, and then turned over the card in his hand to reveal the answer: "Correct."
"Wow!" Gu Shaoling jumped up excitedly and hugged Nie Yuyang tightly. "Brother, you guessed right, that's amazing!"
Nie Yuyang chuckled, hugging her back as he whispered a reminder, "Don't be too happy yet, you haven't said yours yet."
Gu Shaoling calmed down a bit and chuckled at the director, "My identity is that of the eldest son of the Yang family, the first wife, and also the mistress of this house. In addition, I am also the owner of a cloth shop."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun'er immediately realized what she meant and quickly replied, "It's because of the clothes. You're the one who had all our clothes delivered."
Li Guangjun frowned slightly, looking somewhat worried, and said, "But if she is the mistress of the house, distributing the cloth and clothing is her duty. But to say that she is the owner of the cloth shop based on this is too arbitrary, isn't it?"
"Of course, there are other clues. While I was getting ready, a girl who was helping me with my clothes gave me a sketchbook."
"A picture album?" Ye Wanxi and the others were a little curious. They hadn't seen any picture albums when they went to Gu Shaoling's place to wander around before.
"Yes, it was a picture book with many different embroidery patterns. I originally thought that the lady of the house might use it for her needlework, until Wanxi and the others came to visit and asked me a question."
"What did you say?"
She asked me if I had any silk thread in the room.
Zhao Yun'er raised an eyebrow: "Silk thread?"
“Yes, if it were a picture album used for embroidery and making clothes, there would definitely be silk threads or something in the First Madam’s room. But the truth is, there aren’t. In our room, there are only some newly cut pieces of cloth, no silk threads.”
"Therefore, we boldly guess that this catalog is not for the First Madam's use, but rather a new pattern that her fabric shop recently came up with to be embroidered on fabric to make beautiful clothes. The reason it appeared in our room is that it was sent over for the First Madam to review and make a decision."
After Gu Shaoling finished speaking, she looked at the director with anticipation.
The director paused for a moment, then coughed lightly and said, "Your guess is correct."
"Wow!" Upon hearing this answer, Gu Shaoling immediately jumped up and onto Nie Yuyang.
Nie Yuyang was startled and quickly caught her.
Seeing this, Zhao Yun'er and the others didn't think she was overreacting. Looking at the table full of delicious food, it would be illogical for her to be unhappy.
Regardless, Nie Yuyang and his companion have passed the test.
Next up were Ye Wanxi and Feng Tianyu, and the director naturally looked first at the investors.
Unexpectedly, Feng Tianyu smiled and suddenly took a step back, standing behind Ye Wanxi, adopting a virtuous posture of not getting involved in the matter and simply being the man behind his girlfriend.
Everyone shuddered at their own wild imaginations. Having such a powerful figure as the man behind the scenes was something that not everyone could handle.
Ye Wanxi didn't care about the little thoughts of the crowd. She turned to look at Feng Tianyu and said with a smile, "If I'm not mistaken, the identity of the second master of the Yang family should be that of a doctor, and a doctor who has studied abroad."
