Qin Yuanyao examined all the prizes listed in the golden eggs on the TV screen, then squatted down and said earnestly to Chi Naozi, "Sister won't play. No one can predict their luck. Let's be down-to-earth and find jobs. We'll definitely earn enough for the trip to Anfeng Village."
Chi Baiyi glanced at Qin Yuanyao, a fleeting look of surprise in his eyes.
Chi Nao only understood part of what he was hearing.
Anyway, whatever Mom says is right, and you can't go wrong by listening to Mom.
Chi Nao nodded emphatically: "Mmm!"
Hearing their conversation, Xu Miaotong stepped forward and said, "If no one else wants to play, I'll come and support Director Jiang. The staff has put a lot of effort into preparing these things, so someone has to play at least once."
"Okay! Thank you, Miao..." Before Director Jiang could finish speaking, Gao Li pulled Xu Miaotong back.
"Don't play, it's too much of a rip-off. If you smash a golden egg that deducts money, you're in big trouble."
Actually, the main reason Gao Li didn't let Xu Miaotong play wasn't this.
The jobs provided by the production team, such as cleaning up garbage, trimming weeds, and cleaning the underground parking lot, are all chores that servants would do!
They've never done this at home. How could they do something so damaging to their image in front of so many viewers behind the camera?
However, Gao Li couldn't say these things during the live stream.
He believed that the other guests had also considered this point, which was why they didn't participate, and it was definitely not the high-sounding reason that Qin Yuanyao gave.
He also knew that Xu Miaotong, who was used to being pampered at home, could not possibly do these kinds of jobs.
He simply couldn't understand why she was so crazy as to want to support the show.
The production team needs her to make an appearance?
Xu Miaotong broke free from Gao Li's hand: "My luck won't be that bad, don't worry."
“Exactly,” Director Jiang encouraged, “You have to have faith in your wife! Even if she hits the golden egg that deducts money, it’s okay, you can still earn it back through your work.”
Xu Miaotong raised an eyebrow at Gao Li, indicating that Director Jiang was right.
“Besides the travel expenses, we also need to earn money for accommodation. Don’t gamble with your luck,” Gao Li tried to persuade Xu Miaotong again.
Xu Miaotong made up her mind; she was determined to give it a try.
Since Qin Yuanyao said those hypocritical things, of course she should do the opposite and support the production team, putting Qin Yuanyao down.
Xu Miaotong readily accepted the five yuan from the production team, picked up a hammer, and prepared to smash the golden egg.
"Haohao, do you want to play with Mommy?" Xu Miaotong asked Gao Hao.
Gao Hao secretly glanced at Gao Li's somewhat gloomy expression and could tell that his father might not be in a good mood.
He shook his head, afraid that if he played with his mother, his father would be even angrier.
Xu Miaotong didn't care, and then asked him, "Which golden egg do you think Mom should smash?"
The ten golden eggs neatly arranged on the table were all the same to Gao Hao.
He shook his head again and said honestly, "I don't know, they all look the same."
"They look the same, but the prizes inside are different. Just point to one, and Mom will smash it."
Gao Hao hesitated for a few seconds, but seeing that Xu Miaotong insisted on waiting for him to point to the golden egg, he had no choice but to point to one randomly.
"This one?" Xu Miaotong asked.
Gao Hao was uncertain again and hesitated.
Before Gao Hao could back out, Xu Miaotong swiftly raised her hammer and smashed the golden egg.
"Sister Qin, if it were you, which one would you smash?" Chi Nao asked Qin Yuanyao.
Qin Yuanyao casually replied, "Hmm... the second one from the left in the first row, I guess."
"Why did you choose this?" Chi Cheese asked.
Qin Yuanyao: "I just picked it randomly."
Chi Cheese: "Oh."
At this moment, Xu Miaotong had already picked up the folded white paper from the golden egg and unfolded it.
Upon seeing the contents, her expression became somewhat subtle, but she quickly broke into a smile again.
"I was assigned the job of cleaning up the garbage in the villa area."
Gao Li's heart sank.
It's like the worst thing ever happens! I'd rather smash the golden egg that costs 30 yuan!
The other guests applauded Xu Miaotong, half-heartedly and half-jokingly.
Guo Zhuyan: "Not bad! Luckily, I didn't draw a penalty."
Feng Wenhe: "At least I have a job now, and I don't have to worry about finding work and making money anymore."
"Teacher Feng, why don't you give it a try? We have other good jobs too, so you won't have to drag your family out to look for one later, and you might find one that's not as good as the ones we offer," Director Jiang immediately promoted.
Feng Wenhe waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no, I don't have Teacher Xu's good luck."
Director Jiang then turned his attention to Qin Yuanyao.
"Qin Yuanyao, you just said that if it were you, you would smash the second one from the left in the first row, right? Do you want to come up and smash it open to see what's inside?" Director Jiang held the hammer and placed it on the second golden egg from the left in the first row.
Qin Yuanyao waved her hand in refusal, unmoved.
"So confident?" Director Jiang chuckled. "What if there's a big prize of a hundred yuan inside?"
Qin Yuanyao waved her hand without changing her expression.
"Alright, I'll break it open for you and see what kind of reward or punishment is inside."
Seeing that Qin Yuanyao was completely unaffected, Director Jiang smashed the golden egg himself.
He took out the note from the golden egg, unfolded it, and chuckled as he showed it to everyone: "It seems Qin Yuanyao's persistence was right."
The note actually said—a fine of thirty yuan.
Qin Yuanyao is quite clear-headed. Director Jiang was so encouraging; if it were me, I probably would have gone up and smashed it.
Me too, I thought Qin Yuanyao would be the first to go up and smash the golden egg to steal the spotlight.
[Qin Yuanyao probably didn't go up to smash the golden egg because she knew she had bad luck. She's shrewd, not stupid.]
I think Xu Miaotong's task of cleaning up trash was worse than a 30 yuan fine. The weather is getting hotter, and trash smells easily; cleaning up trash is a chore.
