Feng Wenhe thought his mother was right and nodded in agreement.
To their surprise, after they found Director Jiang and explained their purpose, Director Jiang replied to them in this way—
"You already owe fifteen yuan, we can't let you buy on credit anymore."
"Director Jiang, it's just two watermelons, please make an exception," Feng Wenhe shamelessly pleaded with Director Jiang.
He rarely lowers himself to ask for favors, but this time Director Jiang didn't buy it at all.
"I can't be lenient any further," Director Jiang said. "I've already let you have fifteen dollars on credit, isn't that enough?"
Seeing that Director Jiang didn't appreciate their groveling at all, Shi Hefen's expression turned rather unpleasant.
"So we just want to eat watermelon, what should we do?"
Feng Wenhe suddenly thought, "Or you could assign us a task, and if we complete it, you can give us two watermelons."
Director Jiang glanced at the arrogant and domineering Shi Hefen, and smiled at Feng Wenhe, "There are no tasks I can give you. If you really want to eat watermelon, you can ask other guests for help."
"How can I help?" Feng Wenhe asked.
"How about asking other guests to buy watermelons on credit?" Director Jiang suggested with a smile.
Feng Wenhe and Shi Hefen exchanged a glance, both agreeing that Director Jiang's method wasn't entirely unworkable.
"As far as I know, the Guo family and Qin Yuanyao's family have quite a lot of assets. Xing Yu and his family also have ten yuan in assets, but I don't know if they'd be willing to buy you watermelons on credit," Director Jiang added.
Feng Wenhe and Shi Hefen discussed it.
Neither of them wanted to go find Xing Yu and the others, nor Qin Yuanyao and the others.
Xing Yu and Qin Yuanyao are both juniors, and Xing Yu and Qin Yuanyao themselves only have ten yuan left, which may not even be enough for dinner, so it is very likely that they will not lend them money to buy watermelon.
Finally, they went to Guo Zhuyan's house, intending to try their luck with him.
After hearing their purpose, Guo Zhuyan genuinely thought that these two were incredibly shameless.
"Teacher Feng, it's not that I don't want to help you, but my dad is here, and there are even more people eating, so we might not have enough money. You should try to find someone else."
Guo Zhuyan's direct refusal made Feng Wenhe and Shi Hefen's expressions turn somewhat unpleasant.
"I suggest you go find President Chi. I heard that when we go to Director Jiang to buy things, the price he quotes is always the sum of all our small family assets. Only when President Chi goes will Director Jiang give us a normal price."
Guo Zhuyan added, "Two watermelons, according to the prices shown on the show, would cost at most two or three yuan. If we went to buy them from Director Jiang, he might ask for more than ten yuan, but if President Chi goes, Director Jiang wouldn't dare to be so arrogant."
Feng Wenhe had heard Wu Ningwei mention Director Jiang's arbitrary pricing last night, so he knew that what Guo Zhuyan said was very likely to happen.
Feng Wenhe explained to Shi Hefen that Director Jiang had been arbitrarily setting prices.
After listening, Shi Hefen said, "Shall we go find Chi Baiyi?"
She didn't believe what Guo Zhuyan said, but she believed her son's words one hundred percent.
Feng Wenhe and Shi Hefen then went to find Chi Baiyi.
As Guo Zhuyan watched them leave, he thought to himself: "President Chi, I've delivered your head."
Feng Wenhe and Shi Hefen found Chi Baiyi and shamelessly explained their purpose.
"...So, Mr. Chi, how about you come with us to buy two watermelons from Director Jiang? We'll pay you back the money we borrowed from you tomorrow when we get our mission rewards, and we can share half of the watermelons with you." Feng Wenhe had a fawning smile on her face.
When Shi Hefen heard Feng Wenhe say that he wanted to share half of the watermelon with Chi Baiyi, she glanced at Feng Wenhe disapprovingly.
If half of Chi Baiyi's body is taken, what will her grandson eat?
But we'll talk about these things once they actually get their hands on the watermelons.
In any case, she would absolutely not agree to split Chi Baiyi in half!
Before Shi Hefen could finish thinking, Chi Baiyi coldly uttered two words.
"No."
Feng Wenhe and Shi Hefen were both stunned.
"Why?" Feng Wenhe asked instinctively.
"Do I need to explain to you whether I lend you my family's money or not?" Chi Baiyi raised his eyes and glanced at Feng Wenhe, his gaze sharp and cold.
Feng Wenhe and Shi Hefen both felt as if their faces were burning.
Their dignity seemed to have been thrown to the ground and trampled underfoot by Chi Baiyi.
“President Chi,” Shi Hefen sneered, “Whether you lend it or not is indeed your prerogative, but you don’t need to say it so harshly. We’re all guests on the same show. Even though we won’t talk to each other after the show, you don’t need to make things so ugly.”
"I don't think the scene is ugly. If you think it's ugly, that's your own fault," Chi Baiyi said coldly.
Feng Xuan couldn't stand it any longer and roared at Chi Baiyi, "How could you do this..."
Chi Baiyi gave him a cold glance, and Feng Xuan instantly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. Not only did his blood seem to stop flowing, but he also couldn't speak.
Shi Hefen also felt the strong and unfriendly aura emanating from the man in front of her, and quickly hugged Feng Xuan into her arms.
Chi Baiyi withdrew her gaze, turned around and went into the house, closing the door behind her.
[Ahhhhh, CEO Chi is so awesome! Well done!!]
[That was really satisfying, Mr. Chi!]
[Shi Hefen is really shameless! She came to President Chi herself to borrow money, and when he refused, she turned around and lectured him. Is she used to lecturing Sister Wu at home and thinks everyone should be lectured by her?]
[Feng Xuan just yelled at Chi Nai Chef at noon, and these three still have the nerve to come to President Chi to borrow money! Do they really think that President Chi didn't take it to heart because he didn't retaliate then?!]
[Serves them right! Director Jiang wouldn't let them buy on credit, and the other guests wouldn't lend them money to buy watermelons. Let's see how they face Ge Ling's family later!]
[To the person upstairs: People with such thick skin and arrogance don't really care whether Ge Ling's family has watermelon or not. They'll just feel extremely humiliated today and smile.]
As this comment says, Feng Wenhe and Shi Hefen, who not only failed to borrow money but were also humiliated by Chi Baiyi, were in a terrible mood.
They had no time to care whether Ge Ling's family had any watermelon to eat.
If we eat one less watermelon, will Ge Ling's family lose a piece of meat?
They turned around and went back to their rooms.
It took Ge Ling's family more than three hours to clean the chicken coop.
Although the production team was considerate enough to give each of them a mask, cleaning the chicken coop on such a hot afternoon was stifling and unbearable, and they almost couldn't breathe because of the masks.
After they finished cleaning the chicken coop, all four of them were drenched in sweat, their clothes completely soaked.
"When we arrived, didn't the staff say we'd get watermelon when we got home?" asked Zhuo's mother.
