Chapter 77
The photographer handed over the assignment sheet from the side.
The sign above read: "A Little Fundraising Date".
Today, the couples will be at the mission location to conduct a fundraising event for "breakfasts for love".
The "couples" will work together to raise funds from passersby, and the couple with the highest amount of donations will receive an additional 5,000 yuan bonus from the program team.
The above amount will be donated to the "Love Breakfast Project" in the name of the couple, and will be distributed to children in remote mountainous areas through a "charitable foundation" to provide breakfast subsidies.
Today's couples' mission is an activity conducted in conjunction with a "charitable foundation".
......
Shen Yan and Ying Ning quickly glanced at the task cards from the production team.
Shen Yan frowned slightly and suddenly asked the photographer, "Can I donate my own money?"
Photographer Xiao Li shook his head, indicating that it was not allowed.
Although it is a charity event, it still needs to have a certain variety show element. The production team does not allow the guests to pay out of their own pockets on the show, but they have to earn donations from passersby through their own efforts.
"Don't we have any start-up capital?" Yingning asked.
"Yes." Photographer Xiao Li took an envelope out of his pocket and handed it to them.
Shen Yan took it, opened it, and saw that there was only one hundred yuan.
"A hundred yuan fund?" He turned the envelope over again and found that there was indeed no money inside.
The production team provided each couple with 100 yuan as start-up capital. How to make the most of this 100 yuan is up to each couple's creativity.
Holding the only hundred yuan he had, Shen Yan spoke with a hint of helplessness:
"Yingning, what should we do?"
He had assumed today's date would be similar to the last one, but it seemed the production team had presented him with a difficult challenge this time.
Shen Yan looked up and saw that she was looking into the distance.
"Chen Yan, why don't we go to the square and take a look first?"
The central square is located in the heart of the city, and a huge stone monument stands on the square, recording the time when the square was built.
It's rush hour right now, and there's a fair amount of foot traffic.
The area nearby is a commercial district, and the square was filled with couples on dates at this time.
Shen Yan looked around and found that there were quite a few painters doing paid sketches. He studied them for a while.
"How about we go and paint too?" Shen Yan noticed that the painters were sketching very quickly.
If I also draw pictures for donors, I might be able to earn some of the donations.
He comes from a wealthy family and has never had to worry about money growing up, but now he is somewhat at a loss.
Seeing the painters nearby, he wondered if he should try painting himself.
"Chen Yan, can you draw?"
"So-so."
His sketching skills are barely passable, but there's no other way now.
“Let’s see if there are any other solutions,” she said softly.
........
At the museum on the other side, Zhao Ruoruo also received a mission card.
Lu Yuzhou and He Zhiqian were both beside her. Zhao Ruoruo read the task card once and was also confused.
"Are we going to raise funds at the museum?"
Today, after getting off the bus at the museum, she discovered that there were actually two male guests coming and going from the museum, and she was secretly pleased.
But I never expected that today's task would be to raise funds?
Zhao Ruoruo looked at He Zhiqian beside her and saw that he was replying to messages on his phone.
She then turned her gaze to Lu Yuzhou. Receiving her helpless look, Lu Yuzhou finally spoke slowly:
"Won't the production team provide seed funding?"
Afterwards, Zhao Ruoruo received 100 yuan as start-up capital, but she was even more confused.
Not to mention that you definitely won't be allowed to conduct fundraising activities inside the museum, the crowds outside the museum are all queuing up to get in.
How could they possibly care about fundraising?
......
The two walked around the square and found some small vendors.
A pleasant guitar melody rang out from not far away.
On the lawn, there was a couple.
The boy was playing the guitar and singing to the girl, attracting the attention of many passersby.
When Shen Yan saw her stop and look at him, although her eyes were cold, he still caught a hint of cunning in them.
“Chen Yan”.
"You should be able to play the guitar, right?"
Shen Yan has already established a studio and originally planned to gain some exposure through this variety show. He is quite skilled at playing basic musical instruments.
He nodded and followed Ying Ning's gaze.
......
The two walked over and discussed it with the boy and girl. When they heard it was a charity event, they immediately offered the guitar for free.
Yingning then walked over to a painter who was painting:
"Hello, may I buy a few sheets of your drawing paper?"
The painter was a young girl who spoke in a very friendly tone: "If you want some drawing paper, I'll give you a few sheets."
"No money is needed."
She reached out and handed Yingning a few sheets of drawing paper. Yingning borrowed her pencil and wrote a few large characters on them.
Only then did he return to Shen Yan's side.
Shen Yan held a guitar. He was tall and slender, and his fingertips were constantly plucking the strings, producing a crisp sound.
"Yingning, are you planning to have me play the guitar?" he asked.
Having him play the piano is definitely a better idea than having him paint.
"You guessed half right."
The two found an empty flower bed, where Yingning placed several sheets of drawing paper on the ground.
He took out his phone again and found the sheet music for a song.
"Shen Yan, you can play this song."
Shen Yan took out his phone; it played an old song.
He immediately understood Yingning's meaning and said, "Do you mean we have to sing for money?"
"Give it a try? How about it?"
Shen Yan stood behind her, watching her bend down to weigh down the drawings with stones, before speaking with a soft smile:
"You can give it a try. Don't be sad if it fails."
*
The melody gradually flowed from the strings.
Sunlight shone on Shen Yan's profile, making his captivating peach blossom eyes even more dazzling.
Shen Yan glanced at the girl in front of him, only to hear her slowly sing the lyrics.
The song she chose was a Cantonese song, her melodious voice wafting through the air:
"Yesterday, the streets were turbulent everywhere."
"If I'm by your side, I'll hold your hand as fate dictates."
"It's all just missing out, I only wish to have it tomorrow."
......
"In my dream, two people walked together, daring only to embrace each other through their reflections."
"When I wake up, the time I spend looking for you is too short; I would rather stroll with you."
