Everyone's attention was drawn to Fu Jinxiao's somewhat sudden question.
Answer within three seconds.
Shen Xingsui's face flushed instantly. He smiled shyly, initially feeling a little embarrassed, but the timer kept ticking, as if silently urging him on. In the last second, he finally chuckled softly and tentatively asked, "Me?"
The timer just ended.
The staff announced, "You two have a final score of 12 correct answers, which is the best result so far!"
Fu Jinxiao stood up from the platform and slowly walked down. The man's steps were unhurried. He walked to Shen Xingsui and helped him up, smiling: "You did very well. All your answers were correct."
Shen Xingsui felt a little embarrassed and annoyed when he thought of the last question. He could almost imagine the expressions on everyone else's faces, so he poked Fu Jinxiao's arm reproachfully and said, "Why ask such a question? Everyone is watching."
"What can't I ask?" Fu Jinxiao raised an eyebrow: "There's nothing shameful about it."
Shen Xingsui choked up.
But at the same time, he felt a sweet feeling welling up inside him.
They are open and aboveboard, no longer needing to be secretive. This feeling is wonderful and joyful.
The other groups also completed the challenge. Fu Jinxiao and Shen Xingsui scored the highest, so they received rewards and privileges. The director said, "Since we have come to this island, we should better experience the local customs. We will distribute corresponding start-up funds to everyone based on the scores they got in this game."
Shen Xingchen asked, "Doing business?"
The director nodded and said, "Yes, this time is different from previous job hunting experiences. The small fishing village we are in now was once a relatively dilapidated and underdeveloped place. The local villagers are hardworking and have become wealthy by doing business. So, we are here to experience the villagers' hard work, simplicity, and pursuit of a better life."
The guests actually had a more important focus.
"How will the money be allocated?"
"Our team answered five questions correctly."
"Director, don't be so stingy."
The director smiled and said, "It's 50 yuan per question. You can figure it out yourselves."
All things considered, the group with the lowest score is Tuya and Teacher Li, who scored five questions, totaling 250 yuan. The group with the highest score is Shen Xingsui and Fu Jinxiao, who scored a total of 650 yuan.
Tuya said with a laugh, "Director, please give us an extra 50 as a friend's price. We really don't want to be the ones who are fools."
The director quickly chimed in, saying, "As long as you work hard to get rich, you'll definitely earn more than 250 in the end. Change your destiny through labor."
Tuya exclaimed that the production team was stingy.
It was really late when they arrived at the fishing village. After everyone got there, they went to eat together. Shen Xingsui and Fu Jinxiao got the chance to have a luxurious seafood feast because they got first place in their group.
However, the two of them were always quite generous. Originally, there was a large table that two people couldn't finish, so they generously let others sit down and eat as well. As expected of a fishing village by the sea, the seafood feast prepared by the villagers was very sumptuous, especially the hairy crabs, which were large and plump, and the lobsters looked fresh and delicious.
Shen Xingchen picked up an oyster, dipped it in sauce, and ate it: "I love oysters so much, I'm going to the seafood market to sell oysters tomorrow."
Shen Xingsui smiled and gave him a few more: "Eat more."
Fu Jinxiao was peeling shrimp and crabs. He carefully and patiently peeled them and put them on Shen Xingsui's plate. In the past, Fu Yingdi was always pampered. How could a young master do things like serving others? But now, his usually clean and slender hands were stained with grease. However, he didn't care at all. He just said to Shen Xingsui, "Eat more."
Shen Xingsui quickly said, "Don't bother, I can do it myself."
"Just eat what I tell you to eat." Fu Jinxiao buried himself in processing the seafood at hand. He always had a leisurely air about him, which made him look like he was doing something elegant even when he was peeling shrimp: "Your hands will be used to play the piano in the future, so don't touch these hard shells."
Shen Xingsui was taken aback. First, he was impressed by Fu Jinxiao's thoughtfulness, and then he felt an overwhelming sense of emotion. He knew why Fu Jinxiao didn't care anymore. If he retired from the entertainment industry, he might not be able to play the piano for the audience and fans anymore. This might not mean much to Fu Jinxiao, but it was very heartbreaking for Shen Xingsui.
So Shen Xingsui still said, "Your hands are also piano-playing hands, and you play much better than me."
Fu Jinxiao placed the peeled shrimp meat into the plate in front of him, and smiled when she heard this: "What if I don't play well later? Will Teacher Shen dislike me?"
Shen Xingsui nodded quickly and firmly: "No."
"That's fine then." Fu Jinxiao slowly picked up a crab, a leisurely smile on his face: "From now on, please, Teacher Shen, accommodate me and be my personal audience?"
Be my one and only audience.
Shen Xingsui's eyelashes trembled slightly. These words touched his heart like a drop of water falling into a calm lake, creating ripples. He used to be the most inconspicuous one among Fu Jinxiao's thousands of audience members, but now, he had become Fu Jinxiao's only audience member. One day, those beautiful and melodious tunes were played just for him.
Shen Xingsui's heart warmed, and a gentle smile appeared on her face as she softly said, "It would be my honor."
The interaction between the two was warm and peaceful, but the viewers in the live stream were anything but calm, becoming quite excited:
"Ahhhhh..."
"The teacher-student couple is real!"
"Waaaaah, a day of tears for such a beautiful love story."
"He really loves Sui Sui so much."
"Sisters, watching this makes me really want to fall in love..."
"Wake up, how many people like Fu Jinxiao are there in the world?"
...
After spending the night at a guesthouse in the fishing village, we had to get up early the next morning to kick off a full day of business. Since the start-up capital from yesterday was earned by the group together, the group composition would remain the same today.
The director called everyone together and said, "Everyone, work hard! The group that does the best business today will also receive a big prize. Our show has received a lot of support from sponsors and investors after these two episodes, and this episode is our final season, so our sponsors have prepared a very generous prize for the guests!"
Shen Xingsui asked, "How big is this grand prize?"
The director gave a mysterious smile and said, "It's very, very big, the kind of big that everyone can expect."
This mysterious suspense has whetted everyone's appetite, naturally making them more enthusiastic about doing business and making money. It's actually quite interesting that everyone standing here is either a young master from a wealthy family, a popular idol, or at the very least, someone whose family owns a small business and who has invested in business to some extent.
People who have earned millions are now struggling with just a few hundred dollars in their hands.
Tuya said, "Let's go check out the fish market over there first. Let's take a look around and see if we can resell some?"
“That’s what I’m thinking too.” Shen Xingchen is very clever: “There are several seafood markets here, so there must be some business opportunities. We can go to the market to buy cheap seafood first, and then sell it to the restaurants here.”
This person clearly hasn't experienced the harsh realities of society or the realities of life.
Shen Xingsui followed Fu Jinxiao and asked, "Where are we going? Should we go to the seafood market too? This is a fishing village, it seems like it would be better to go there."
Fu Jinxiao stood beside him. The man glanced at the map on his phone, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Go to the dock."
Shen Xingsui asked in confusion, "What are you going there for?"
Fu Jinxiao smiled and said, "Purchase the goods."
Shen Xingsui assumed that he also wanted to buy goods. Although he had some doubts, he trusted his lover very much, so he agreed without thinking. It would be very expensive to take a taxi from here to the dock, but fortunately they met a kind person who was willing to give them a ride.
When they arrived at the dock, they smelled the salty sea breeze. The sea stretched as far as the eye could see, with many boats and ferries floating on the surface. There were chain-linked barriers along the coast, and many fishing boats were unloading their catch. However, Fu Jinxiao's purpose was very clear, and he didn't even glance at these boats.
Shen Xingsui was wondering when she saw Fu Jinxiao stop in front of a ship.
"Hello, how much is the next net for fishing?" Fu Jinxiao asked in Mandarin first, but the fisherman spoke in the local dialect, and Shen Xingsui only understood the number 200.
Seeing that the other person's Mandarin was not very good, Fu Jinxiao simply started speaking in the local dialect as well.
When the fishermen saw that he could speak the local dialect, they were overjoyed and invited him to go out to sea with them. People who live by the sea year-round have dark skin from the wind and sun, but they have a simple and kind smile.
After Fu Jinxiao finished negotiating with the other party, he said to Shen Xingsui, "Get ready, we're going to board the ship and head out to sea."
Shen Xingsui responded, and the production crew put life jackets on both of them before allowing them to board the boat to ensure the safety of the guests. The boat was very clean, and the boatman was also seeing celebrities for the first time and seemed very excited.
When Shen Xingsui boarded the ship, he asked softly, "You're not from this place either, so why do you speak the dialect?"
"I specifically learned this skill before in order to make a movie about survival on a desert island," Fu Jinxiao replied. "Although the movie didn't come to fruition in the end, it still gave me a hidden skill."
Shen Xingsui thought to herself, "What other surprises do you have that I don't know about?"
Once aboard, the boatman was very welcoming. Because Fu Jinxiao spoke the local dialect, they chatted occasionally.
How old are you?
"I think I've seen one of your TV dramas before."
"You even brought a photographer, are you here to shoot some kind of movie?"
They were talking, but Shen Xingsui couldn't understand much. During a break, she quietly asked Fu Jinxiao, "What is he saying?"
Fu Jinxiao looked at Shen Xingsui, who had been obediently staying by his side since the beginning and was now looking at him curiously with her bright, watery eyes. Such an obedient child always makes people want to tease her. The corner of the man's mouth curled up into a mischievous smile, and he said slowly, "He said that we are a good match."
Shen Xingsui was taken aback, then her earlobes turned slightly red, and she stammered, "Really?"
Fu Jinxiao's smile deepened: "Of course."
Shen Xingsui had been tricked. She glanced at the boatman, and after making eye contact with him, she said softly, a little shy but still happy, "Thank you."
Boatman: ?
The viewers in the live stream were laughing hysterically.
"Teacher Fu, you're so mean."
"I don't believe you for a second."
"I'm from this village too, how come I didn't hear that?"
"Sui Sui, please beat him up!!"
