[Xu Miaotong seems quite unhappy too. Is she still blaming Gao Li for not being reasonable enough? Is she thinking about how Qin Yuanyao spent all of their family's assets in the last season without consulting Chi Baiyi? But Qin Yuanyao immediately won first place in the task and earned all the money back. Xu Miaotong? She doesn't have the skills, yet she insists on taking on a task she's not qualified for. That's exactly the kind of person she is!]
[Xu Miaotong was indeed in the wrong in this matter. The main problem was that her initial intention in making the purple sweet potato balls wasn't good. If she hadn't tried to subtly criticize Qin Yuanyao and sow discord between Qin Yuanyao and the other guests, she wouldn't be down to only five yuan now.]
I don't think Xu Miaotong succeeded in sowing discord between Qin Yuanyao and the other guests. Aside from her and Feng Wenhe, Zhuo Ranjun's family didn't seem to care at all who Qin Yuanyao gave the spicy crab to.
The relationship between Qin Yuanyao and her friends and Feng Wenhe was already somewhat delicate. Considering Feng Xuan's incident with the fishing rod and cheese in the previous season, Qin Yuanyao probably didn't care about Feng Wenhe's attitude at all, and she cared even less about Xu Miaotong's. So, what was the point of Xu Miaotong's move? Besides spending all her family's money, what did she actually gain?
[She got a huge pot of purple sweet potato balls, hahaha! So, Xu Miaotong is really both stupid and wicked.]
Yesterday, Qin Yuanyao brought over some spicy crab, which Ye Rui and her family really enjoyed. So she spent ten yuan to buy a serving of crab from the program crew.
Feng Wenhe was eager for Wu Ningwei to showcase her spicy crab cooking skills, so even though they only had 15 yuan in assets, they still bought a crab from the program team.
Zhuo Ranjun's family, on the other hand, only had thirteen yuan left in their small household assets, and buying crabs would be a huge sum of money for them, so they did not buy any.
"Sister Qin, do we have enough money to buy crabs?" Chi Nao asked.
"That's enough," Qin Yuanyao said. "Do you still want to eat crab?"
"Mmm!" Chi Nao tilted her little head up, revealing an adorable and sweet smile. "Sister Qin's spicy crab is amazing, it's so delicious! I only love Sister Qin's spicy crab!"
[Wow... Is the cheese a veiled reference to something Feng Wenhe said earlier? Hahahaha]
Do you know what "a masterpiece of cheese" means?
[I guess Cheese might not know what "one-of-a-kind" means, but judging from Feng Wenhe's previous words, she should be able to deduce that "one-of-a-kind" must be a positive term, which is why she imitated it.]
[You're subtly criticizing my sister Qin, so I'll subtly criticize you back, hmph (￣^￣)]
Qin Yuanyao could also tell that Chi Naozi was supporting her.
She patted Chi Nao's head happily. "I'm honored! However, I have other work this afternoon and have to leave soon, so I can't make you spicy crab today. I'll have to do it another day."
Chi Nao's mouth gaped open in surprise. "Sister Qin, after you finish your work, will you come back to participate in the show?"
Yes, I will.
Chi Cheese finally smiled with relief.
She reluctantly added, "Okay, then I guess I'll just have to eat Dad's spicy crab."
Chi Baiyi "..."
There's no need to force yourself like that.
You don't have to eat it.
The screen was filled with "hahahahahaha" and "so popular and exciting".
Director Jiang also took the opportunity to inform everyone that Qin Yuanyao had other work to do that afternoon.
Xu Miaotong suddenly realized that when Chi Nao asked Qin Yuanyao to make lotus leaf rice for her that morning, Qin Yuanyao said she would make it for her another day. It turned out that she had work in the afternoon.
A glint of light flashed in Xu Miaotong's eyes.
Just as everyone had finished selecting their dishes, a car pulled up and stopped right in the live stream's camera's view.
The viewers in the live stream got excited when they saw the car.
[Holy crap! A luxury car! It must cost over a million! Whose car is this? It definitely doesn't belong to the production crew, and it couldn't possibly be a villager's, could it?]
[Hahaha, why did you rule out the production team first?]
The show's poverty and stinginess are obvious to everyone, aren't they? (winking)
When a woman dressed head-to-toe in designer brands and exuding a confident aura stepped out of the car, viewers in the live stream were even more puzzled, flooding the chat with questions like, "Who is this?"
Qin Yuanyao saw Yao Mu and smiled as she went over to her, "Sister Mu!"
Yao Mu took off her sunglasses and waved to Qin Yuanyao with a smile.
When Ye Rui saw Yao Mu getting out of the car, she exclaimed in surprise, "Yao Mu?"
"Hi, Ye Rui." Yao Mu greeted Ye Rui.
The two hugged like old friends.
[Yao Mu? This woman is Yao Mu?! Oh my god!!!]
[Upstairs, who is Yao Mu? Why are you so surprised?]
[You know Zonghai Entertainment, right? She's their top agent; several Best Actress and Best Actor winners were brought up by her!]
[That's amazing! !!]
[Isn't Ye Rui's agency also Zonghai Entertainment?]
Yes! Our teacher, Mr. Ye, works at Zonghai Entertainment.
It's normal that Yao Mu and Ye Rui are close. But why does Qin Yuanyao seem to be close to her too, even calling her "Sister Mu"?
[Ah—!! I finally understand why Qin Yuanyao only gave spicy crab to Ye Rui's family! Is Qin Yuanyao trying to get close to Yao Mu through Ye Rui and have Yao Mu mentor her? Yao Mu is a top agent; if Yao Mu is willing to mentor Qin Yuanyao, her career will definitely be much smoother.]
[Holy crap! Qin Yuanyao might actually be plotting this! What a scheming woman! She doesn't even know her own limitations, yet she wants Yao Mu to mentor her?!]
Ye Rui asked Yao Mu, "Did you come to pick up Yao Yao to go to work?"
“Yes.” Yao Mu nodded.
"Yaoyao is not bad, is she?" Ye Rui raised an eyebrow at Yao Mu, a hint of smugness on her face.
Yao Mu smiled and said, "It's good. I have to thank you for your discerning eye in recommending her to our Zonghai Entertainment, which is why I was able to become her manager."
"You're too modest," Ye Rui said with a smile. "You're the top agent at Zonghai Entertainment. It's Yao Yao's good fortune that you're willing to take her on."
Qin Yuanyao vaguely guessed that Yao Mu and Ye Rui must have had a purpose in saying such high-profile things.
So, following Ye Rui's words, she said, "Yes. I already feel very lucky to have signed with Zonghai Entertainment. I never thought that Zonghai Entertainment's top agent would be willing to take me on."
Yao Mu glanced at her with satisfaction and said deliberately, "Then you'd better perform well and not ruin my reputation. None of the artists I've managed have ever left the entertainment industry because they didn't do well."
Qin Yuanyao signed with Zonghai Entertainment?! And Yao Mu is her manager?!
[Hahahaha, those haters got slapped in the face! One second they were mocking Yao Yao for trying to climb the social ladder and not worthy of being managed by Yao Mu. The next second, Yao Yao is already Yao Mu's artist! Hahahaha! So satisfying! So satisfying!]
