Chapter 22: Movie King vs. CEO (22)
Soon everyone arrived and had dinner together.
Each group of two ate their own food, and the director ate a bowl of noodles alone. The atmosphere in the room was weird yet harmonious.
After finishing my meal leisurely, I washed the dishes. By this time, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.
Everyone was about to go back to their rooms to sleep, but the director suddenly spoke up to stop them.
"Dear guests, please don't leave in a hurry. We haven't yet summarized this afternoon's activities. Come back."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and waved to several guests who stood up.
Li Xianing yawned, walked back sleepily and sat on the sofa.
"Director, please keep your words short. I'm dying of sleep."
Her eyes were dazed. It seemed that although her body was here, her soul had already flown to the bed.
"No problem, I will definitely speak faster so as not to disturb your rest."
"Okay~"
This time it was Han Miao. She cheered and exaggeratedly clenched her fists and stretched them upwards.
"Everyone, please transfer the money from selling peaches to me first."
The director took out the payment code from his mobile phone and placed it on the table.
He added, "It's best if one person transfers it to me, otherwise the two of us will have to pay together."
Everyone rolled their eyes, seeing how lazy he was.
But he did it anyway, and the director took it back and looked at it, then continued:
"As for this afternoon's event, I saw it all in the livestream. First place went to Xu Jinxiao's group. They sold all five baskets, earning two thousand."
The four people who were previously unaware of the situation looked at Xu Jinxiao and Gu Liangchen in astonishment, their eyes full of admiration.
I didn’t expect that they both came first again, but I don’t know who will be the main force this time.
After a brief moment of surprise, everyone regained their composure.
"Second place goes to Xiao Yueran's group, third place goes to Lu Yuquan's group, and last place goes to Zhao Yawei's group."
The director didn't mention how many copies were sold or how much they made, just knowing the ranking was enough.
After hearing the results announced by the director, everyone nodded.
The director would definitely not fool them, and there were so many viewers watching the live broadcast.
The director distributed the money as usual, and everyone saw that Xu Jinxiao got 500 yuan as they wished. It seemed that Xu Jinxiao was the main force.
Everyone seemed to have no expression on their faces, but they were actually numb inside.
[Damn, Mr. Xu is so awesome! ]
[The other guests were shocked and numb]
Is there something fishy going on with this production team? Xu Jinxiao is always the best. Did they deliberately choose activities he's good at?
[Damn, it's really possible. Otherwise, how could he always come in first?]
[Has he hooked up with a wealthy sponsor? His sponsor is really spending a lot of money to support him. How much did he spend?]
The director noticed all the bad comments in the live broadcast room, and he was struggling whether to explain.
If he didn't explain, the popularity of his show would definitely increase, but the facts were completely different from what was said in the live broadcast room.
His activities had been arranged long ago, and Xu Jinxiao hadn't asked him to deliberately choose activities that he was good at.
I was deeply conflicted and caught in a dilemma between myself and myself.
He looked at Gu Liangchen, but Gu Liangchen had no time to look at him. He was looking at Xu Jinxiao and smiling sweetly.
He didn't need to ask, he already knew the result.
He coughed twice, looked at the camera and said seriously:
"Viewers in the live broadcast room, please don't make random guesses. The activities for this program were decided a long time ago, and only the program team participated in the discussion."
All the guests were stunned when they heard this, and then looked at Xu Jinxiao vaguely.
Gu Liangchen also heard it. His smile disappeared instantly, his mouth corners straightened, his face was unhappy, and his whole body exuded coldness.
Only Xu Jinxiao was still cheerful, completely unaware of the director's hidden meaning.
The director secretly glanced at Gu Liangchen's expression and couldn't help but feel relieved. Fortunately, he chose to explain cleverly.
"I've said everything I need to say. Good night, everyone."
He stood up and waved to the guests.
"Good night, Director."
After saying good night to each other, everyone went back to their houses.
Gu Liangchen took out his mobile phone and opened a social software.
Good Times and Good Scenes: I'm so pissed off! Someone cursed him online today. Check it out for me! The internet isn't a lawless place either. Give them a taste of their own medicine.
Sunny weather: Oh, is Master Gu taking out his anger on his girlfriend?
Good Times and Good Scenes: Nonsense! How dare you scold the person I like? I will make them pay for it!
Weather is sunny: Stay calm, I will ask my men to check it out tomorrow.
Good Times: No! Right now!
Sunny weather: Good, good, now, now.
Good Times and Good Scenes: Waiting for your good news, I’m going to take a shower.
Sunny weather: Okay, go ahead.
He Jingtian, who was sitting on the other side of the phone, stared at the screen for a moment, moving his hand back and forth on the screen, hesitating, and finally put his hand down.
The next day.
"Dear guests, wake up~~~"
Everyone gathered together amid the director's slightly intimate shouts and sat on the sofa waiting for the director's instructions for today.
"Ahem, this morning, we won't go out. We'll just do it in the house."
After saying that, he looked around and said, "I think this house is quite big, it should be enough. If it doesn't work, we can always go to the yard."
"Hiss~ Finally I don't have to go out. My legs are still a little sore from walking so hard yesterday!"
Zhao Yawei pounded her calf with relief.
"Me too."
Han Miao frowned slightly, and his slightly chubby hands were constantly pinching his legs.
"Oh, Teacher Zhao and Teacher Han, don't worry. We've already considered this situation. That's why we don't have to go out this morning."
“That’s amazing.”
Li Xia Ning blurted out something inexplicably, leaving everyone confused.
"Stop talking for now. I'm going to get to the point."
Everyone's eyes were focused on him, looking at him intently, like a well-behaved primary school student listening attentively to the class.
The director couldn't help but smile, and began to introduce the event seriously:
"Today we have some small activities, very simple. First, we spin the hula hoop. Whoever spins the most in one minute wins."
After saying that, he winked at Li Xia Ning playfully, which was a bit funny.
"Do the female guests have the upper hand now?"
"Yes! I'm the best at hula hooping! Director, you're so nice, woooooo~"
Li Xia Ning was very moved and wiped away the non-existent tears on her face.
"Unfortunately, I'm also pretty good at hula hooping."
Zhao Yawei lifted her fluffy hair and said something in a high-profile manner with a seemingly low-key expression.
Xu Jinxiao's face looked very bad, and his dark eyebrows were twisted into the shape of the Chinese character "川".
because--
He can't even hula hoop!
"Director, what if you don't know how to hula hoop?"
He frowned and asked with a puzzled look.
The director spread his hands, looking a little helpless. "That's all I can do."
Xu Jinxiao: ???
Xu Jinxiao was really confused, with his eyes wide open in a daze, as if he had not yet come to terms with what the director said.
Others couldn't help but look sideways. They didn't expect that Xu Jinxiao actually didn't know how to do it!
Damn it, after being crushed by him for so long, they finally got some relief.
I really want to laugh out loud now, I can’t suppress the corners of my mouth anymore!
No, hold it in!
Zhao Yawei's face was distorted as she clutched the sofa tightly, Han Miao's face was also tense, and Xiao Yueran and Li Xianing, because they were young, could not hold back their laughter and just covered their mouths.
The air fell into silence for a moment——
"Neither can I."
Gu Liangchen suddenly spoke up, looking at the director with a cold, threatening look in his eyes, as if to say:
Deduct money!
The director was startled, his mind was working rapidly, and his eyes were darting around. He originally wanted to balance the strength of the guests on the show. After all, Xu Jinxiao was too powerful, overshadowing the other guests. Even if the other guests didn't say anything, the agency behind them might not agree.
It's not good for his show. People who come here must think that his show can only highlight one person and suppress everyone else.
But I didn't expect Gu Liangchen to protect him so much. He definitely can't offend the financial sponsor.
What should I do now?
A layer of cold sweat broke out on the back of his forehead.
Finally decided... to choose Gu Liangchen.
It’s just that Gu Liangchen was chosen openly, but secretly, more shots were given to other guests and fewer shots of Xu Jinxiao.
He just didn't believe that Gu Liangchen would go back and watch the entire show.
"Well, it doesn't matter if you don't know. After all...we don't give out small amounts of money in this activity."
"ah?"
"What?"
"Um?"
As expected, he received dissatisfied voices from several other guests, and they all turned to look at him questioningly.
The others stared at him like piercing needles, and he suddenly felt a huge pressure. Under the huge pressure, the director struggled to explain, "I forgot to mention it just now, I'm adding it now."
Even if you offend everyone else, you can't offend the financial sponsor, right?
