Chapter 48. Sending Shen Li to...
After dropping Shen Li off at the amusement park entrance, Jiang Huaichuan went to the ticket booth and bought a ticket under Shen Li's questioning gaze.
Shen Li: ?
Seeing the disapproval in Shen Li's eyes, Jiang Huaichuan quickly explained, "I've never been to an amusement park before."
In short, coupled with Jiang Huaichuan's forlorn expression, this statement was extremely damaging to Shen Li.
Without saying a word, Shen Li took out her phone and gave Jiang Huaichuan an express pass.
Shen Li fastened the speed bracelet to Jiang Huaichuan's wrist and patted his wrist, which was hanging in mid-air: "Have fun."
The Dream World is very large, and the roller coaster is located in the middle and back section of the park. To prevent the show's guests from getting lost, the production team sent Xiaohua to pick them up.
Xiao Hua rushed over and spotted Shen Li at the door. Just as she was about to greet him, she saw the man next to Shen Li, who had been facing away, turn around.
Xiaohua abruptly stopped in her tracks.
Why would the big boss of the Jiang Group appear here?
Xiaohua turned her head, her first thought being that the big boss had come to acquire the amusement park. Her second glance revealed the colorful fast pass tied to the big boss's wrist.
Oh, you're here to have fun... huh?
Just as Xiaohua was surprised, Shen Li walked over.
Shen Li: "I'm sorry to trouble you."
"Oh, no trouble at all," Xiaohua replied, though she subconsciously felt that something was off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
The moment Shen Li appeared on camera, she was spotted by viewers in the live stream. The reason was simple: she was just too eye-catching. Shen Li was naturally fair-skinned, and wearing a royal blue windbreaker made her appear a shade lighter on camera, as if she weren't even on the same level as everyone else.
【Honey, honey, you're finally here!~】
[Wow! Although I'm not a fan of Shen Li, his looks are truly stunning! He's so handsome that I almost switch allegiances every time I see him, but thankfully I've remained steadfast (hands clasped together)]
[Heh, young master, you've had your fill of slacking off all day? Finally decided to come? Our little An is exhausted, you little burden.]
[What are you babbling about upstairs? Anzi hasn't even said anything, who gives you the right to speak up for them and break off their friendship?]
[Is it a black-clad person?]
"The other one?" After buckling the seatbelts for one round, the staff member on the giant swing got off, saw Shen Li, looked him up and down, and asked.
"Yes."
"Sure, you seem much more reliable than that kid over there. I'll teach you later." The staff member on the giant swing ride was a bearded man in his thirties. He smiled and seemed very approachable. He gestured with his chin toward Lu He'an, "You can just call me Brother Yang."
[Hahaha, the staff are almost traumatized by this.]
[Who told Anzi to trip over his own feet and almost fall flat on his face as soon as he got on the giant swing? His reliability level plummeted.]
As they were talking, the giant pendulum started up. Shen Li stood in the safe zone and looked up. Screams rose and fell as the mechanical arm of the facility rotated at an increasingly larger angle, almost vertical.
Shen Li thought that was the end of it, but the next second, he stared in astonishment as the almost vertical arm seemed to be thrown upwards with force, paused at the highest point, and then did a 360-degree spin.
Aaaaaaaahh ...
The ear-piercing screams assaulted his eardrums, and Shen Li silently took a step back. He knew he would never get to experience high-altitude thrill rides like the giant pendulum or roller coaster; at most, he could try a carousel or a Ferris wheel.
The round was very short, lasting only three minutes. Shen Li followed Brother Yang onto the suspended pendulum swing and, following his instructions, unlocked the safety buckle.
"Wow... Jiajia, look at this handsome guy..." A weak voice drifted over from the left. Shen Li looked over and saw a girl with messy hair covering her face. She looked like she was about to lose her mind, but she still stubbornly tugged at her friend's arm to make her look over.
Shen Li unbuckled her safety harness and asked with concern, "Are you alright? Do you need any help?"
The girl waved her hand: "No need, no need, I'm perfectly fine."
Shen Li pursed his lips, his expression hesitant. He paused and said, "Your friend doesn't seem to be doing well."
Her friend's legs were already weak. She forced a smile, and with the girl's support, and with Shen Li's help, she walked down the stairs, muttering complaints as she went.
"Sister, I'm going to die. I'm never riding this thing again. It's 360 degrees! It's insane!"
"I can't sit here anymore, I almost threw up, but I dare not throw up when my period is about to start."
The group moved slowly, and Lu He'an had already arranged for the next round of tourists to enter. Under Yang Ge's guidance, Shen Li lowered her shoulders and fastened her seatbelt.
After finishing, Brother Yang checked each item one by one again.
"Not bad, very good." Brother Yang came down, gave Chen Li a thumbs up, and signaled to the facility operator to press the start button.
At noon, the number of tourists in line decreased, and the four groups gathered at a hamburger shop next to the roller coaster at the command of the program team.
Ji Yu took the menu: "You're not going to rip us off today, are you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu He'an said quietly, "It's already a trap."
? ?
Lu He'an handed over the menu: "Customized menu, one hamburger is 32 yuan, the one that other tourists are holding is 16 yuan."
[As expected... the same old routine, hahaha]
"This isn't a rip-off?!" Feng Wei opened the menu and almost blinded himself. "You're offering A and B menus?!"
Is this hamburger inlaid with gold?
The production team was speechless. They hadn't expected to be discovered. To keep things discreet, they had specially arranged seats on the side. Who knew that the young couple next door would split the bill on the spot after ordering? Not only that, they did it like reciting a menu, paying for each item one by one. This was overheard by Lu He'an's group and Yin Xi's group, who had arrived earlier.
Lu He'an was furious and demanded a change of menu on the spot, but his request was ruthlessly rejected.
Gao Jing was convinced. Although he didn't participate in the first episode, he watched it. Experiencing it firsthand and observing it from the sidelines were completely different experiences: "You guys raised prices way too much!"
"Let's take a look together and see what's the most cost-effective option, like a set meal?"
"Sure."
Several heads huddled together instantly, and they ended up ordering two family-style dishes plus two chicken leg rice dishes.
"Did you all get your positive review cards?" Yin Xi asked curiously during a break from eating.
"No." Gao Jing shook his head, a rare look of speechlessness appearing on his usually calm face. He and Fang Xuan were assigned to be NPCs in the haunted house, specifically to scare people. It was good that they didn't receive any negative review cards.
Yin Xi: "Xiao Shu and I have five cards."
"Five sheets?" Ji Yu leaned closer. "Quickly share the method with your sister."
Yin Xi's beaming face instantly fell.
Upon seeing this, Shu Fu burst out laughing.
They were assigned to the park's information desk, mainly to solve problems for visitors, as well as to find and return lost items. One of their most important skills was the children's refresh pool.
One morning, the service desk brought in three children who had gotten separated from their parents. An announcement was made that while waiting for their parents to arrive, the children could wait in the art and book area at the service desk.
Shu Fu wasn't good at communicating with children, so she took charge of the lost and found section. The task of comforting the children was left to the lovely and approachable Yin Xi.
Three children in a row were all four or five years old and were quite unruly. They felt insecure when separated from adults, and their tears and snot flowed continuously. After finally calming them down, they wanted to play with Yin Xi again. By the end of the morning, Yin Xi's throat was practically burning.
When the parents finally picked them up, they all left a positive review card.
Feng Wei and Ji Yu, a married couple, only received two positive review cards at the Ferris wheel in the morning. However, Feng Wei, as a musician, will be participating in the parade in the afternoon, and hopefully he can get more positive review cards.
Yin Xi looked at Lu He'an: "What about you guys?"
“We have three, but my morning requirement is calculated at 1.5 times, so we have four. We don’t know how much each one costs.”
Gao Jing was extremely envious, hoping that he and Fang Xuan could make a breakthrough in the haunted house that afternoon.
Gao Jing is unaware that he will encounter ghosts in the haunted house that afternoon.
As they were talking, two people suddenly stood behind Shen Li, and a strong smell of tobacco wafted over. Shen Li frowned.
"Hey? Isn't this the young master of the Lu family? What brings him to the amusement park today?"
A flippant voice rang out, and Lu He'an paused, glancing at the voice out of the corner of his eye. His face instantly darkened.
That good-for-nothing young master of the Zhang family changes girlfriends more often than underwear; the one in yesterday's WeChat Moments photo wasn't even the one he's with now.
Taking advantage of the camera's blind spot, Lu He'an waved to him.
Lu He'an: Get out! Get out!
To everyone's surprise, Young Master Zhang lived up to his reputation as a "fool," failing to understand at all. He walked straight up and put his arm around Lu He'an's shoulder, saying, "Young Master Lu, it's been a long time. My dad said he wants me to have a good talk with you recently to see if the cooperation with Lu's Technology can go well..."
Lu He'an was so quick that she didn't even have time to cover his mouth before he blurted everything out like beans spilling from his mouth.
As expected, the live chat exploded.
【？？】
[The young master of the Lu family???]
[The Lu family?]
[Lu He'an? ?]
If I remember correctly, there's only one Lu's Technology in City A, right?
Could it be a mistake? Maybe it's a small company with the surname Lu?
Someone in the live chat said tremblingly, only to be refuted the next second.
[The man next to him is the third young master of Kangsong Pharmaceuticals, notorious for his womanizing ways. His face and identity are readily available online, with high-definition photos. Who else could he call "Young Master," and whose surname is Lu, and whose company is Lu's Technology?]
Lu He'an was furious. This idiot did it on purpose? Couldn't he see the three cameramen standing there with their cameras? Damn it! He's got two balls hanging from his eyebrows, all he can do is blink and not look! Damn it!
Those around Lu He'an, including Feng Wei, who were unaware of the situation, were also stunned, their eyes darting back and forth across Lu He'an's face.
Seeing that Lu He'an ignored him, Young Master Zhang turned his gaze and saw Gao Jing.
"Oh oh oh, Gao umm umm." Seeing the person pointing at him, Gao Jing quickly took a step forward and covered his mouth tightly.
Meeting everyone's confused looks, Gao Jing chuckled, a slightly embarrassed smile creeping across his otherwise calm face: "My fans, my fans, I got too excited, sorry."
Feng Wei and others: ...Do you think we're idiots?
It's hard to say for sure what the guests are saying, but the substitutes in the live chat have already spoken.
[I bet a bag of potato chips, even the top actor Gao has a problem.]
[I bet two packs! Gao Jing is definitely some young master from a wealthy family. His eyes lit up, and the word "Gao" was practically on the tip of his tongue, but he managed to swallow it back.]
【Huh? So Gao Jing and Fang Xuan are childhood friends, and Fang Xuan is too?】
[Hmm, maybe they really are just fans?]
Gao Jing's identity is in doubt, but Lu He'an's has been revealed and is a done deal. In less than half an hour, someone posted Lu He'an's high school graduation photo online, and standing next to him was none other than Lu Mingshu, the current head of Lu's Technology.
"Damn it!" A piercing crashing sound came from a dark room in City A. The man's face was gloomy, his eyes were bloodshot, and his hair was messy and dirty. He was nothing like the respectable male celebrity he was just a week ago.
Since he was fired by the company and sued for compensation, he has been like a rat crossing the street, hated by everyone online. Wang Luo barely managed to rent a single room in the suburbs of City A with the money in his card, and spent his days spying on the movements of Shen Li and the others.
Wang Luo kicked the instant noodles away, yelling, "Lu He'an! You bastard, you actually dared to lie to me!"
A loud banging came from the door, followed by the landlord's booming voice: "Shut up! What the hell are you talking about! Be quiet! Or get out!"
——
In the afternoon, a group of people arrived at the giant swing ride. Lu He'an was so angry he almost bit his back teeth off. He stared at Lin Hui, who was in the lead, and asked through gritted teeth, "What are you doing here?"
"I care about you." Lin Hui leaned closer. "That kid Zhang Caobao sent a message in the group saying that you're here as a staff member for a program, and now everyone's clamoring to come and see this spectacle."
Lu He'an: ...
"Exactly, exactly." A head popped up. "By the way, who's that guy with you? He's really my type."
Lin Hui and Lu He'an both widened their eyes in alarm: "Don't even think about it with this person."
After saying that, the two of them took a small step back at the same time, distancing themselves from each other.
"ah?"
