He immediately thought of the morning when Cheese asked Master Xie if the mask on the wall was something he had done.
Could the secret that Cheese mentioned be that she took the yellow mask to Master Xie and asked him if he knew Old Zhao, who made the yellow mask?
Chi Cheese quickly confirmed his guess.
Chi Nao waved, signaling Chi Baiyi to bend down, "Dad, I have a secret to tell you."
Chi Nai whispered a secret in Chi Baiyi's ear: she had gotten what might be Lao Zhao's contact information from Master Xie.
After recounting the general events, Chi Nao continued in a breathy voice, "Dad, after the show ends, take me and Sister Qin to find Old Zhao together."
Chi Baiyi gave her a deep look with his dark eyes and nodded.
Chi Nai Cheese then straightened up with a satisfied look on her face.
Viewers who couldn't hear anything were extremely anxious and frustrated in the live stream.
[In the end, we overestimated ourselves. At first, we thought we held the same importance in Chi Nai's heart as Qin Yuanyao. Later, we thought our status was the same as CEO Chi's. Now, we finally realize that we are nothing, and we don't deserve to know anything at all, sob sob sob.]
[What on earth did Cheese and CEO Chi talk about?! What is it that we, their esteemed VIP members, are not allowed to know?!]
[President Chi's expression at the end was quite intriguing! What exactly did President Chi hear?]
However, no matter how much they wailed in the live stream, the parties involved had already gone about their own business as if nothing had happened.
...
The Feng Wenhe family.
Wu Ningwei borrowed four yuan from the production team and bought five yuan worth of ingredients to make a simple lunch.
After finishing their meal and resting for more than half an hour, the family of three sat together and discussed which group of guests had more substantial family assets and were suitable for them to complete tasks to earn money.
After all the calculations, the family with the most substantial assets consisted of Qin Yuanyao and her family with 47 yuan, Guo Zhuyan and her family with 23 yuan, and Zhuo Ranjun and her family with 14 yuan.
Feng Xuan immediately said, "Let's go find Ge Ling! Ge Ling and I are best friends, she'll definitely be willing to let us do tasks to earn money!"
Wu Ningwei, however, had a different idea.
"Zhuo Ranjun and the others only have 14 yuan left. After deducting the cost of buying ingredients for dinner, they will only have 10 yuan left at most. Their ranking in the tasks these past few days has been very unstable. If they only get last place in tomorrow's task and don't get the cash reward, then their 14 yuan will have to last them for two days."
"I think, considering these factors, Zhuo Ranjun and the others probably don't have the resources to let us do tasks to earn money. It's best to find Qin Yuan and the others; they have the most money."
Feng Xuan frowned, displeased.
He disliked Chi Nao, as well as Qin Yuanyao and Chi Baiyi.
He didn't want to go to them to make money!
Fortunately, Feng Wenhe shared the same thoughts as him.
"Let's go find Teacher Guo and the others. Their ranking in completing tasks is quite stable. Even if we only earn seven or eight yuan, it won't affect their family," Feng Wenhe said.
“We already owe the production team four yuan. If we can only earn seven or eight yuan to pay back what we owe, we'll only have three or four yuan left. Three or four yuan is only enough for our food tonight. If we don't do well on the tasks the production team assigns tomorrow and we don't get the reward, we'll have to ask the production team for credit again,” Wu Ningwei reminded us.
She continued, "So to be on the safe side, it's best to contact Qin Yuanyao and the others. Even if they let us earn ten yuan, it won't affect their lives."
Feng Xuan grew angrier the more he listened.
He yelled at Wu Ningwei, "Why will we not do well on tomorrow's task again? Can't we do it well and get first place? It's all your fault, that's why we keep doing poorly and can't get first place!"
Wu Ningwei looked helpless, not wanting to have a pointless argument with Feng Xuan.
She stared at Feng Wenhe, waiting for him to make a decision.
Feng Wenhe hesitated for half a second before making a decision: "Go find Teacher Guo and the others."
A smile appeared on Feng Xuan's face.
[I think Wu Ningwei's analysis is spot on! They need to earn at least ten yuan to ensure they have some savings. Guo Zhuyan and his family only have 23 yuan left. If Feng Wenhe's family earns 10 yuan, and they end up with the lowest score in tomorrow's task, they won't have enough money. I don't understand why Feng Wenhe insisted on going to Guo Zhuyan's family.]
I suddenly remembered a post online that said Feng Wenhe seemed to look down on Qin Yuanyao.
[The lady in front, are you referring to the post that Qin Yuanyao's former agent liked using her Weibo account?]
Ahhh, I just remembered that post too. I didn't think Feng Wenhe looked down on Qin Yuanyao before, but after today's events, I kind of do. It would have been best to go to Qin Yuanyao and her group; Wu Ningwei analyzed the pros and cons so clearly, yet Feng Wenhe still insisted on going to Guo Zhuyan and his group. I can't think of any other reason besides Feng Wenhe looking down on Qin Yuanyao.
[Feng Wenhe probably couldn't bring himself to do it. He and Guo Zhuyan aren't that far apart in age, so when he asked Guo Zhuyan, he felt it was just peers helping each other out. But asking Qin Yuanyao would be like an elder asking a younger person for help.]
[They've already asked the production team to let them pay on credit, what's there to be ashamed of! Asking the production team to pay on credit is supposed to be a sign of goodwill?]
Feng Wenhe and his group arrived at the farmhouse where Guo Zhuyan and his group were staying. They met Guo Zhuyan and explained their purpose.
Guo Zhuyan said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Brother Feng, we don't have any tasks for you to do."
Guo Zhuyan's decisive refusal made Feng Wenhe feel embarrassed.
"Congcong still wants to eat spicy crab. We plan to ask the program crew to buy another serving of crab tonight. After that, we won't have much money left. Sorry, I can't help you."
Feng Wenhe, her face pale, pretended to be generous and said, "It's nothing, we were just asking. It would be great if we could do a task, but it's okay if not."
Guo Zhuyan nodded apologetically, "Mhm."
After seeing Feng Wenhe's family off, Ye Rui pulled him into a room without cameras, turned off the microphones on both of them, and asked him a question.
When did Congcong say he wanted to eat spicy crab?
A genuine smile appeared in Guo Zhuyan's eyes. "I'm using Congcong as a shield. I think Feng Wenhe is a very scheming person. Yesterday, he even deliberately mentioned in front of everyone that Qin Yuanyao sent us spicy crabs, pretending it was unintentional. He treated us like that yesterday, and he still has the nerve to ask us for help today."
Guo Zhuyan continued, "Now, the family with the most assets belongs to Qin Yuanyao and her family, and Feng Wenhe certainly knows that. The reason he doesn't go to Qin Yuanyao but comes to us is because he's too ashamed to go to Qin Yuanyao. He tripped us up yesterday, so why should we be his suckers today?"
