Chapter 48 The Backers Behind Xiao Zhiyuan
The main task now is not this. What we need to do now is to figure out what Xiao Zhiyuan wants to do?
Shen Qi was worried about Wen Yan and Xiao Zhiyuan being together. It wasn't that he was worried that Wen Yan couldn't beat him. Wen Yan was no longer the Wen Yan who was bullied by others. He now knew how to protect himself.
Shen Qi thinks that if you know that someone has bad intentions towards you but you still greet him/her with a smile, you are really a malicious person.
After thinking about it, Shen Qi took out his cell phone and called Qi Yu'an. Since he insisted on pestering Wen Yan, he should at least show his attitude and do something practical.
Qi Yu'an was a little surprised when he saw the call from Shen Qi. He thought Shen Qi's stance was the same as Wen Yan's and he would definitely not take the initiative to contact him.
What about now? Did something happen to Wen Yan?
When Qi Yu'an thought of this possibility, his heart skipped a beat. He quickly picked up the phone: "Hello?"
Shen Qi: "Boss Qi, did you know that Wen Yan has accepted a variety show?"
Qi Yu'an remained silent, he thought that the fact that he would be participating in the next show had been exposed.
Before he could answer, Shen Qi continued, "Xiao Zhiyuan also went to that variety show."
"What do you mean?" Qi Yu'an was no longer calm. Xiao Zhiyuan was a selfish person. He must be up to something when recording a show with Wen Yan. Qi Yu'an was very worried.
Shen Qi: "It seems that you don't know about this yet. Then please check who sent Xiao Zhiyuan in. I asked the person in charge, and he was forced in by the capital side. I suspect he wants to target Wen Yan."
Qi Yu'an replied calmly: "Okay, I'll go check it out."
Hearing Qi Yu'an's agreement, Shen Qi said nothing more: "Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Qi. Goodbye."
Qi Yu'an hung up the phone, wondering who Xiao Zhiyuan could find to help him. After the termination of the contract, Qi Yu'an did not suppress him further. After all, he framed Wen Yan by hurting himself at the time, so he didn't want to kill them all. More importantly, a rabbit will bite when it is cornered. If he wants to do something extreme, there is no guarantee that he will do something desperate.
Now it seems that he should have found a new backer. But he appeared in front of Wen Yan again, making it hard to believe that he had no intentions.
Qi Yu'an called Xu Huaishu and asked him to check it out as soon as possible. Since it was related to Wen Yan, Xu Huaishu did not dare to delay and immediately arranged to go.
Qi Yu'an was still worried, so he personally called the director of the variety show and said that he would go there early.
The director certainly has no objection. What opinion can he have about the investors? Nowadays, these big guys have mistresses, which really doesn't care about other people's lives.
The staff sent to urge Xiao Zhiyuan came back and told the director that Xiao Zhiyuan said he was not feeling well and needed to rest.
The director thought that this person was just putting on airs, but he was afraid that the person was really uncomfortable, so he nodded to indicate that he understood and planned to go and see it in person later.
There was no need to wait, so the director picked up the megaphone and said, "Ahem, one of our guests is feeling a little unwell, so she can't come today. Now that everyone has gotten to know each other, we'll start announcing tomorrow's tasks."
He paused, and seeing everyone nodded, he continued, "Tomorrow our main tasks are to pick lotus clover, break corn, and pick cotton. Everyone can freely choose one to do, and then find a way to sell it at the market. The money earned will be used for your own expenses for the next half month."
Everyone was not surprised to hear that they could do farm work, after all, what else could they do in the countryside? But they were surprised to hear that they had to find a way to sell the crops themselves.
Let’s not even talk about how to get the things to the market, just thinking about standing on the street and selling these things, everyone has experience in this. If they sell, it’s fine, but if they don’t, who can afford to be embarrassed?
Before they could stop being shocked, the director continued, "The program team can provide car rental services and help you take your goods to the market. Twenty-one times."
Everybody was groaning. Each person only had 100 yuan, and a trip was 20 yuan. They didn't even know the price of these things or whether they would be easy to sell.
That was fine, because the director gave them another heavy blow: "By the way, because today is the first day, everyone needs to adapt, so we asked the fellow villagers to prepare meals, but starting from tomorrow, we have to pay for food and drinks, and everyone can buy them at the market. You can also discuss with your fellow villagers to partner up, and the cost can be negotiated by yourselves."
This is really a blow to me. Just one hundred yuan for half a month. How can I live? Ugh.
"Finally, on our last day here, we will tally up the remaining funds in everyone's hands, and the person with the highest amount will receive our mysterious gift."
Wen Yan had no interest in the big gift. He thought it would be better for him to make some money to survive first.
The director ignored everyone's breakdown. He announced the mission and asked everyone to go back. He then went to Xiao Zhiyuan's house. He had to see if the person was really unwell. If anything went wrong with him, he would not be able to take the responsibility.
When the director arrived, he saw that Xiao Zhiyuan looked normal, so he knew that he was fine. He didn't go to the gathering just to show off, after all, he had some fame before.
The director had some opinions in his mind, but he didn't show them. He said calmly: "I heard that you were not feeling well. I came to see if you should go to the doctor."
Xiao Zhiyuan didn't hear the director's dissatisfaction, he pretended to say: "I feel much better now, maybe I was tired just now so I feel a little dizzy."
Xiao Zhiyuan did it on purpose. He pretended to be sick and didn't go. What he was thinking was what kind of people were invited to this program. They were so low class.
The director nodded perfunctorily, talked about what he was going to do tomorrow, and asked him what he wanted to do tomorrow.
Xiao Zhiyuan didn't want to do anything, but he still said it was okay and he could arrange it as he wanted.
The director left, but because he was afraid that he would do something naughty again tomorrow, he specifically asked the stage manager to ask him to stay and explain the rules to him in detail, and then he left with peace of mind. |
After hearing this, Xiao Zhiyuan's face turned dark. Coming to this shabby place, he had to do farm work and sell goods by himself. So forget it.
When he thought about what he was about to do, he endured it again.
After Wen Yan returned, he called Shen Qi, who told him that Xiao Zhiyuan was forced into the job by the investors, and asked him to stay away from Xiao Zhiyuan because he had not yet found out who was behind Xiao Zhiyuan.
But what is certain is that Xiao Zhiyuan definitely went there for him, and no one knows what else he was thinking.
Wen Yan promised him that she would be careful in the next few days and told him not to worry about her.
Shen Qi said that they would find out who was behind Xiao Zhiyuan as soon as possible in the next few days, and then try to find out their plan, so he didn't need to worry too much and just keep his distance.
Wen Yan said that she knew.
As expected, Wen Yan thought that Xiao Zhiyuan was coming for her again.
He didn't understand how he had offended him that he had to keep targeting him. Three years ago, he framed him for Qi Yu'an.
Three years later, I had been separated from Qi Yu'an for so long, but he was still following me like a ghost. Meeting such a person was really strange.
Wen Yan didn't think he needed to be afraid of him, but he felt annoyed.
