Jiang Baizhi's anxiety intensified when she heard the staff's words. She tried to suppress her discomfort, keeping her voice as gentle as possible, and said, "Okay, let's change it."
Then, she reluctantly packed up her things and began looking for the next pond. However, as if fate was deliberately against her, Jiang Baizhi changed seven or eight ponds in succession, but only caught a few fish, even less than ten. However, time waited for no one, so Jiang Baizhi could only take her few fish to the market to sell them one last time.
After this scene was broadcast live, many people commented on the barrage that Jiang Baizhi was so unlucky today, saying that her good luck had run out on the first day and now she was simply plagued by bad luck.
Little did she know that Jiang Baizhi's bad luck had already begun from the first day...

Time flies, and soon the morning is over. Every guest's task time has expired. Now all we have to do is wait for the afternoon settlement time.
At this moment, the living room was bustling with activity. Bai Ren and Chao Yan were playing and joking around, while Tan Changqing and Qu Qingdai sat quietly by the French window, playing chess, their expressions focused, as if completely immersed in the game. Meanwhile, Lin Zhirou was diligently practicing the steps for her afternoon performance with the square dancers, her concentration and meticulousness undivided.
They all gathered here without prior arrangement, and everyone was looking forward to Jiang Baizhi's return soon. Because Jiang Baizhi said last night that she would take everyone to enjoy a sumptuous meal at noon today.
Time passed by minute by minute, but Jiang Baizhi still didn't show up.
"Why haven't you come back yet? Logically speaking, it should be quick to buy some groceries after completing the task." Bai Ren couldn't contain his inner anxiety and muttered impatiently.
"Indeed, we've been waiting for almost an hour." Tan Changqing couldn't help but sigh. Then he turned to look at Qu Qingdai across from him and asked with concern, "Qingdai, after you finished your task of selling corn, did you see Baizhi?"
Qu Qingdai shook her head, a puzzled look on her face, and said, "No, I didn't see her after I finished my mission today."
"Why don't we all go out and look for her, just in case nothing happens." Lin Zhirou suggested worriedly, her words full of worry for Jiang Baizhi.
"Okay, let's go and take a look together." Everyone agreed.
The audience in the live broadcast room also expressed their concerns, with comments repeating the three words "stay safe".
Just as the group was about to step out of the door, they suddenly saw Jiang Baizhi slowly walking back with her familiar bucket. Upon closer inspection, they saw that there was nothing in the bucket except a few lively fish.
"Where have you been? Why did you take so long to come back? Also, where is today's dish?" When Chao Yan saw the full bucket of fish, he couldn't help but feel worried. He was really afraid that it would be another fish banquet.
"That's right, why is it fish again? Didn't you sell all the fish today and plan to have a fish feast?" Bai Ren asked in confusion, with confusion written all over his face.
"Xiaozhi, did you forget to buy groceries?" Lin Zhirou asked softly, her voice full of concern.
Faced with everyone's continuous questioning, Jiang Baizhi felt a little overwhelmed. She opened her mouth, wanting to explain something, but didn't know where to start.
"Come in first and talk." Seeing Jiang Baizhi's hesitant look, Tan Changqing probably guessed something in his mind, so he spoke to break the awkward atmosphere and asked everyone to come in first.
"Okay, let's go inside and talk about it." Bai Ren turned around helplessly and walked into the house first. The others followed him and entered the house one after another.
Afterwards, everyone gathered in the living room and were about to continue asking Jiang Baizhi about the details when a figure that surprised everyone appeared - the director who had been away for a long time was back.
"Hello everyone, I'm back. Did you miss me?" The director's face was filled with a bright smile.
"I don't want to." Bai Ren retorted bluntly, with a hint of impatience still on his face.
"Hey, I don't want to bother with you." The director said to Bai Ren, his tone was a little teasing, and then asked with a puzzled look on his face: "What are you all doing here? Why don't you hurry up and prepare lunch? After that, we have to start the settlement."
"I was just about to ask!" Chao Yan said, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his voice.
"What's wrong?" The director was still a little confused and looked at everyone in confusion.
"Jiang Baizhi is preparing another fish banquet!" Chao Yan said in a deliberately sarcastic tone and made an exaggerated expression.
"What's going on?" The director turned his gaze to Jiang Baizhi, his face full of confusion and his eyes full of inquiry.
"I..." Jiang Baizhi opened her mouth, but still hesitated, with a hint of evasion in her eyes.
"Maybe she doesn't have the time. After all, everyone just needs to complete their own tasks, and Xiaozhi not only has to complete her tasks, but also has to be thrifty when buying groceries and preparing dishes. It's possible she's too busy to handle it all by herself." Seeing that Jiang Baizhi hadn't dared to speak out about the theft, Qu Qingdai secretly thought in her heart and was ready to add fuel to the fire. So, with a smile on her face, she said in a gentle tone, "Why don't we go buy it ourselves? It's the last day now, so it doesn't matter if the funds are used up."
"Okay, I agree!" Lin Zhirou rarely expressed her agreement with Qu Qingdai's proposal.
