Not long after lunch, Zhang Bosong came to the grape courtyard with an IOU and walked at a leisurely pace.
After seeing Lu Chuanbei and the others sitting in the living room digesting their food, he couldn't help but say with a smile, "It seems like you and the new guests are getting to know each other pretty well."
"Not bad, not bad." He Xuebin touched his stomach and said with a satisfied smile: "It would be better if I could have a few more meals."
As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Bosong with a wary look on his face: "But why are you here now?"
"Me?" Zhang Bosong smiled and raised an eyebrow. "Of course, I'm here to tell the new guests where their homes and the land they were given are."
"Could you be so kind?" Lu Chuanbei was the first to express his disbelief.
He Xuebin looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Is there any trap?"
"A trap?" Zhang Bosong clutched his chest with a hurt expression. "How could you possibly think that? I'm really thinking about you."
"Really?" Fang Xiuzhu said with a look of disbelief: "Don't think you're setting a trap."
"And if you really care about us, don't forget to put away that smile on your face, or it'll scare me."
"Yeah, yeah." He Jingnian nodded quickly and said, "Uncle, you're like a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a chicken. You look like you have bad intentions!"
Hearing this, Xu Anjia said with a look of sudden enlightenment: "I know, so the village chief is a bad guy!"
"Yes, he's bad."
Zhang Bosong tried to redeem himself in front of the child: "Hey, I'm not that bad, am I?"
"Yes, last time you tricked us into buying things at the market, and you said you paid for everything!" When Song Tiantian talked about this, her big eyes were full of accusations.
Xiangfangnan also nodded and said, "If you weren't bad, there wouldn't be any bad people here."
"Hey, you little brats." Zhang Bosong, realizing he couldn't salvage his image, immediately lay down and resigned himself to his fate. "You see things quite clearly."
[Every time I see Zhang Jianjian, my opinion of him is refreshed...]
[Good fellow, he really dares to say that!]
[Tiantian and the others were all stunned~]
[Wow, awesome! Only a cheap person would dare to say that, right?]
Zhang Bosong is indeed a man who can take away the title of bad guy directly on his head.
As soon as Zhang Bosong admitted it, he immediately started to embellish his image as a bad guy.
"Since you all said so, if I don't do something, it would be disrespectful to my image."
"What do you want to do?" He Xuebin looked at him with some ominous look.
"What for?" Zhang Bosong said with a wicked smile as he pulled out an envelope from his pocket. "Do you remember this?"
"I know, I saw it in your livestream." Xu Qi pointed at the envelope excitedly and said, "This is the IOU you wrote, right?"
Lu Chuanbei: "So, you're here to ask us to exchange money?"
"No, asking for money is not as important as asking for life." He Xuebin said with his head held high: "How can we just get back and ask for money back? We still don't have the money."
"Don't worry, I'm not here today to ask you to pay back the money." Zhang Bosong took out the IOU from the envelope and shook it in front of them, deliberately revealing their signatures.
Xu Qi stared at the signature on the IOU, then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Well, I don't owe you any money. Even if I need to pay you back, don't come to me."
"Really?" Zhang Bosong looked at him meaningfully.
Finally, Xu Qi signed the IOU with a mournful look on his face: "Why didn't you tell me that I still had to pay a contracting fee for the land I was given as part of the program?"
"Pfft..." Lu Chuanbei not only did not sympathize with him, but he also laughed happily.
"Come on, come on, welcome Director Xu." He Xuebin said happily as he extended his hand towards Xu Qi: "You have officially joined our debt camp."
"It seems that the contract fee given to the program team was not in vain." Fang Xiuzhu sighed seriously.
"You guys..." Xu Qi looked at this group of people and almost shed tears of sadness: "Is this how you welcome a new guest?"
"Of course." Lu Chuanbei patted Xu Qi's shoulder enthusiastically: "Director Xu, can you feel our enthusiasm for the new guest now?"
"Haha, this is really enthusiastic." Director Xu said a little overwhelmed: "You owe money as soon as you get here, you are really something."
He Xuebin quickly raised his hand and said, "That's the program's fault. It has nothing to do with us."
[The production team has dug a really deep hole... But why do the corners of my mouth keep turning up? ]
[23333, the tragedy of Director Xu being forced to sign an IOU is so funny]
[The program crew really knows how to have fun]
[Hahaha, welcome Director Xu to officially join the army of debtors...]
Zhang Bosong flicked the IOU, then put it back into the envelope with a satisfied look on his face. "Director Xu, do you want me to take you for a walk in the fields?"
"Go!" Xu Qi immediately stood up and said, "We already owe the money, so we have to enjoy the after-sales service!"
"Let's go, I'll show you where we're staying." Zhang Bosong said with a smile, "This is a privilege that Teacher Fang and the others haven't enjoyed."
"If I didn't owe money, I wouldn't have to enjoy this treatment."
As he spoke, Xu Qi suddenly thought of something and looked towards Zhang Bosong: "By the way, if I don't want the land, do I not have to write the IOU?"
Zhang Bosong looked to the side with a vacant look in his eyes: "This..."
"I hope I guessed it right?" Xu Qi asked uneasily.
"Ahem," Zhang Bosong said, clearing his throat. "We've already assigned you accommodation, haven't we? As long as you're assigned a place to live, you have to pay for it."
"Then I don't need to be assigned housing!" Xu Qi said indignantly, "I can just squeeze in with Xiao Lu and the others."
"Yes." Xu Anjia's eyes lit up, and he immediately hugged Song Tiantian's arm and said, "I can sleep with Tiantian."
Zhang Bosong touched the tip of his nose and nodded: "That's fine too."
"Yeah, then you should quickly cross out my IOU." Xu Qi tried very hard not to owe money.
"It's impossible to cross it out, even after the show is recorded." Zhang Bosong released his hand and looked at him: "So, Director Xu...just accept it."
"I don't!" Xu Qi refused to accept.
"There's nothing you can do about it. You signed the IOU after all." Zhang Bosong added, "Of course, if you don't want the land and the place to live, that's fine. We won't return them anyway."
Xu Qi let out a mournful cry: "So your show is a robbery? And it even involves forced buying and selling?"
"You could say that."
"Pfft... Director Xu, do you understand our pain now?"
"Director Xu, just admit it!"
"Yeah, now that we're here, we have to experience the full range of services provided by the production team."
"You guys..." Xu Qi looked at these guys who were just watching the fun with a look of suspicion and accusation on his face. "Are you just waiting for me to fall into the trap?"
"hey-hey"
"Some things should not be said too clearly, otherwise it will be bad for you."
"Come on, come on." Lu Chuanbei stood up and helped Xu Qi pull the luggage. "While Village Chief Zhang's after-sales service hasn't expired yet, let's go visit Director Xu's home."
"I think it's okay."
"Walk, walk, walk, it's a good opportunity to help me digest my food."
The rural courtyard where Xu Qi lived was not far from He Xuebin's garden courtyard, and less than ten meters behind the courtyard was the paddy field allocated to him.
When Xu Qi saw the paddy field allocated to him, he immediately felt uneasy: "Village Chief Zhang, why is there nothing planted in the field allocated to me?"
Lu Chuanbei was also a little confused: "Generally speaking, shouldn't the land allocated to us be planted? Why is Director Xu's paddy field still empty?"
"That's right, you can't let us grow it ourselves."
As soon as He Xuebin finished speaking, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
"No way?" He Xuebin looked at Zhang Bosong in disbelief.
Xu Qi even felt like he was on a pirate ship: "Is this how you treat your guests?"
"I'm a new guest." Zhang Bosong said without a trace of shame: "This is a treatment only given to new guests. Isn't it great?"
"Where's the stick?"
"Aren't you afraid that we'll ruin the field?"
"Don't worry, we've already prepared the crops for you to plant and even arranged for experts to help you." Zhang Bosong said proudly, "How about it? Isn't our program particularly considerate?"
"That's really thoughtful." Lu Chuanbei looked at the two acres of land in front of him and couldn't help but feel worried: "With so much land, how many days will it take us to plant it?"
Fang Xiuzhu said silently: "Can I refuse such consideration?"
Xu Qi: "I actually just wanted to come to the show to lie down, do you believe it?"
He Xuebin even dragged his waist and said: "Well, I have a herniated disc in my waist and need to rest for a few days, so I will participate in this kind of work."
Zhang Bosong pulled the envelope out of his pocket and flicked it in front of them. "What do you think?"
"It seems that it won't work..."
"I feel like I'm not here to participate in a show, but to do hard labor, right?"
"You didn't just find out, did you?"
So, on Xu Qi's first day on the show, not only did he not receive the welcome treatment the show crew gave to new guests, he was also defrauded of a "huge" amount of money...
[Sympathize with Director Xu, this is too tragic]
[The worst guest in history must be Director Xu, right?]
[Tsk tsk, Director Xu, why are you so pessimistic? ]
[I understand. Director Xu must have been tricked by Director Liu. Otherwise, this is too tragic, right?]
[Shedding tears of sympathy for Director Xu...]
Director Liu watched the comments change from initial dissatisfaction with the addition of new guests to the reversal after Xu Qi was tricked.
The audience was drawn into the interaction with the new guests and naturally accepted the arrival of the new group. They couldn't help but smile meaningfully: "Sure enough, the program has to trick the guests in order to give the audience a better experience."
The staff on the side couldn't help but shudder when they saw Director Liu's smile...
