The meal was eaten with great enthusiasm, but when everyone heard the price, they instantly realized that this meal wasn't absolutely necessary!
"How much? How much did you say?" Yan Qing jumped off the sofa, and it's no exaggeration to say he really jumped a meter high. Yu Qiuchi saw that Yan Qing looked like he was going to have a real-life showdown with Zhou Baixi if he said that price again, so he quickly put down the chopsticks he was picking out fish bones from.
"730, how about this, I'll round it down to zero!" Zhou Baixi said with a smirk as he looked at Yan Qing, who seemed about to punch him.
Upon hearing this, Yan Qing nodded: "Okay, round it down, 73 is more like it!"
"You can't round down like that! This is robbery!" Director Zhou's pupils dilated in shock!
"730 for a meal, we brought our own ingredients and cooked our own rice!" Yan Qing rolled up her sleeves, ready to play paintball with him: "You want 730 from us, you swindler!"
Capitalists are truly ruthless!
[Director Zhou, you're ruthless]
[I declare that Director Zhou is the most ruthless and unscrupulous businessman I've ever met!]
Zhou Baixi, having somehow acquired an abacus, settled accounts with Yan: "You brought your own ingredients, so that doesn't count. But the pots, pans, oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar are all mine, right? I'll charge you 100 for that. Two packs of toilet paper, four towels, my metal basin was all flattened, and those stains on my kitchen white walls from the fish splashing around need to be repainted, so I'll charge you 300 for that."
"That's only 400 yuan, so what about the remaining 330?" Tang Ke asked, resting his chin on his hand.
"The water cost for your shower is 50 yuan per shower, that's about the price at a public bathhouse!" Zhou Baixi said seriously, fiddling with the beads on his abacus, making a loud clicking sound as if he wanted the guests on the dating show to hear him: "And then there's the electricity bill, the gas bill, and all those other miscellaneous expenses, so I'd say 730 yuan is a low estimate!"
[……]
[Even more demanding than my landlord]
[Wow, that's a great calculation! I've learned something!]
Seeing that the guests on the dating reality show were all shocked by this unreasonable and domineering statement, Yu Qiuchi finally understood. Although he, as a young master, was not suffering from the hardships of life, and 700 was not that expensive, not even enough for a bottle of wine at a bar, it did not mean that Zhou Baixi could rip him off!
Yu Qiuchi sneered twice: "You're wasting your talents as a director. You should learn business from Mo Weiyun."
Zhou Baixi grinned, taking it as Yu Qiuchi praising him: "Be modest, be modest."
"Be modest, my foot! I'll go back and talk to Brother Zhou about what he taught you!" Yu Qiuchi grabbed Zhou Baixi's weak spot. Zhou Baixi had made a solemn promise to Brother Zhou before filming the show: if the show didn't go well, he would go home.
"No, no, Yu Qiuchi, you can't handle this!" Zhou Baixi got a headache just thinking about his brother. He had been to the company when he was an intern, and while he had some talent, he was just too shameless...
He negotiated a shady contract. Because his company was so big and powerful that small companies wouldn't dare offend him, he managed to get something for nothing. His brother was so angry that his forehead veins were throbbing, and he kicked him while yelling for him to get lost!
"I just can't take a joke!" Yu Qiuchi spread his hands, acting like a spoiled child.
"Disrespecting the director and some rules will lead to cyberbullying!" Zhou Baixi knew this little devil wouldn't give in so easily. He was both angry and fond of Yu Qiuchi. You could say he was infuriating, but he was also very popular, and the show couldn't do without him!
Yu Qiuchi smiled, her eyes sparkling, her peach blossom eyes slightly curved, and she gave the camera a seductive smile: "I think you're the one who'll be cyberbullied."
[Ahhhhhh, my wife, my wife is smiling at me!]
[A beauty overload! She's stunning from every angle!]
[Beautiful wife, sniffling.]
[Anyone who dares to cyberbully my wife, my keyboard is ready, (rubbing my fists)]
[Yes, yes, my wife is right. Director Zhou, you shrewd businessman, apologize right now!]
#Director Zhou is a shrewd businessman
#My wife is being cyberbullied
#Freeze-frame moment: Internal strife, tense relationship, outwardly harmonious and loving, but in private...
Zhou Baixi was furious, but then he thought about it and realized that what Yu Qiuchi said was true. Yu Qiuchi's group of female fans and CP fans were tearing each other apart, but if an outsider said anything negative, they would instantly unite and form a united front. Their fighting power was comparable to that of fans of big celebrities in the entertainment industry. They were organized, disciplined, and also liked lewd things.
"I don't care, only children complain to their parents. You have to pay today, or I'll kick you out of the villa and you'll have to rent a place to live!" Zhou Baixi then stated the rules.
He had already come up with a title for it: "Wandering in the City, Working Experience": "After lunch today, you will hand over your phones. We will give you a special phone. You will have to find a job in this city and earn money to live in this city for seven days."
“I’ll charge you 200 a day for the room. A hotel room outside costs 200 or more. You’re getting a great deal on this villa!” Zhou Baixi interrupted Xie Tingsi before he could say anything.
"Are the water and electricity bills included in the rent? And the natural gas..." Gu Xiaojun, being the oldest, was more thoughtful than everyone else. If these trivial matters weren't discussed beforehand, everyone would take advantage of them later.
"Utilities and other miscellaneous charges will be calculated separately. You can get a weekly pass for only 400. The rent is just the basic right to reside in this villa."
"The hotel includes breakfast!" Xie Tingsi exclaimed anxiously.
“We’re cheap!” Zhou Baixi retorted.
Yan Qing muttered under her breath, "You get what you pay for!"
"How much will our meals cost?" Since they're going to charge for this meal anyway, why not take advantage of it? Jiang Chenzhou asked, looking up after he finished shaving Yu Qiuchi's thorns.
"We'll charge you 200 yuan a day for food. Our production team will provide services. If you order food, it will cost extra."
