Chapter 17: Movie King vs. CEO (17)
He walked to the kitchen and took a look, "The food will be ready soon, everyone wait a moment."
"Okay~"
Everyone responded lazily, slumped on the sofa, not wanting to move at all.
Xu Jinxiao glanced at Gu Liangchen next to him and found that the man's black hair was still dripping from time to time. Seeing this, he immediately stood up.
My wife's hair is not dry yet, it's time for him to perform!
Thinking of this, I quickly ran towards his room.
Gu Liangchen turned his head to look at his back, a strange look flashing across his eyes.
"Thump, thump, thump"
Soon Xu Jinxiao ran out with a white towel in her hand. It was neat, clean and white, without any signs of use.
How should I put it, it's the kind of ecstasy that comes from mysophobia.
"Hey, your hair is still dripping, don't catch a cold."
Xu Jinxiao handed the towel to him. The scent of his wife after the shower lingered in his nose, and he couldn't help but inhale it a little longer.
Gu Liangchen understood, and took it naturally with his hand. He smiled, and his cold expression melted away.
"Thanks."
"No, you're welcome."
Xu Jinxiao was so tongue-tied by being stared at by such a beautiful wife.
Gu Liangchen used his towel to wipe his hair, his heart filled with joy, smiling happily.
In fact, he deliberately did not dry his hair and came out with it wet, just to let Xu Jinxiao find out and then care about him.
[Their relationship is so sweet, so sweet, they are really sweet on variety shows!]
[Come on, keep spreading it. I'll take it. I can eat as much as you want!]
Me too!
[Wow, pray to God, I hope I can get a boyfriend soon~]
"The food is served, get ready to eat."
The director came out with a plate of food. The other guests were not idle either. When they heard the director's words, they immediately stood up and walked to the kitchen to help bring out the food.
After the meal, the staff took away the tableware. The director looked at them and smiled.
"What about this afternoon's mission..."
"Director, why are both of these activities strenuous? What are we girls supposed to do?"
Li Xianing said with some complaints.
Thinking of her two previous failures, she couldn't help but interrupt the director, then blinked and moved closer to the director, trying to cast her charm on him.
He failed, as the director saw through his plan with his sharp eyes. He pressed his index finger on her forehead and, applying a little force, pushed her back to her original position.
"I've already thought about it. There will be less physical activities later on. And this afternoon's activity isn't about physical activities. We're selling peaches."
"Each person gets five baskets, and each basket contains a fixed amount of peaches. The price is calculated based on how many peaches are sold. The rule is that one peach is eight yuan."
After he said that, he deliberately stretched out his hand and shook it to emphasize that it was eight dollars.
Li Xianing's eyes suddenly widened, and she repeated in disbelief, "Ah? Selling peaches?!"
"Yeah." The director nodded calmly, "Is there any problem? No problem."
"Well, I've never sold anything before."
She looked conflicted, with her brows furrowed, and seemed to be in a dilemma.
"Why are you panicking? This time we're still in team mode. It doesn't matter if you can't do it, another person will lead you."
"Director, if you had said this during our first game, I might have believed it..."
Li Xianing looked at the director with undisguised resentful eyes.
"Hahaha."
The director laughed out loud at her, and then glanced at the other people secretly. Everyone had a sad look on their faces.
He thought to himself, isn't this just asking you to do what you're least good at? Otherwise, where will the ratings come from?
Especially the things that the audience thinks ordinary people would do, which are absolutely incompatible with your status, are what are attractive.
"Director, when does it start?"
A voice suddenly appeared, breaking his arrogance. He couldn't help but look in surprise. There were still people looking forward to it?
It’s Xu Jinxiao.
This guy's expression, why does he seem a little excited?!
Is his eyes blurry? After rubbing his eyes vigorously, Xu Jinxiao still had the same expression.
There was a moment of silence, and the mood instantly turned unhappy, "What's wrong?"
"Ahem, when is the director going to sell peaches?"
Xu Jinxiao looked at the director eagerly, he really wanted to sell things. It was such a novel way of playing, he loved it so much!
"It's half past twelve now, go in an hour."
"Okay, if I sell all the peaches early, can I still sell them from you?"
Xu Jinxiao asked with a smile. He felt inexplicably confident that he could definitely sell out.
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, their jaws almost dropped, their eyes filled with astonishment and disbelief.
He looked at him like a monster. Damn, is he still a normal person? If Yu Quan didn't have any tools this morning, he would definitely still be first.
Could it be that he will win again in the afternoon?
Oh my God!
The director's mouth twitched, but he was still experienced and quickly calmed himself down. He then laughed and spread his hands, "Of course, you're welcome anytime."
"That's good."
Xu Jinxiao nodded.
[WTF?! Is Actor Xu serious? He's actually selling peaches?]
What else do we not know about Actor Xu?
【Ever since he came on this variety show, I realized I might have just met him!!】
[Same as above. I even suspect that Mr. Xu is possessed...]
[Don’t get excited yet, let’s see if he can sell out in the afternoon]
Gu Liangchen was also startled by the people around him, but he quickly regained his composure. Anyway, he would support him no matter what happened.
"There's still an hour left, and you can use it as you please. But I'm old, so I'm going to bed first."
"Director, you're only forty, you're still old..."
Xiao Yueran glanced up and down at the director and couldn't help but complain.
"Young people just don't know how to maintain their health. This director is not as hardworking as you guys."
The director retorted to him.
After saying a simple goodbye to everyone, he walked out.
Xu Jinxiao turned to look at Gu Liangchen, "Master Gu, do you want to sleep?"
"Um."
Gu Liangchen responded softly. He also paid great attention to health preservation.
"Okay, me too."
Xu Jinxiao replied to him thoughtfully. He had just been picking peaches for the whole morning and needed to replenish his energy.
Most of the others also returned to their rooms, but Xiao Yueran did not. Instead, he took out his mobile phone and sat on the sofa to play games. Li Xia Ning did the same thing, but she was watching a TV series.
The two of them each occupied one side of the sofa, with their phones in silent mode, not interfering with each other and not affecting each other, creating a harmonious scene.
In the blink of an eye, it was 13:30 and everyone left the room one after another.
The director was already sitting on the sofa, holding a cup of tea and drinking it with relish, not caring at all that it was already past 1:30.
Xu Jinxiao: I made the right decision to join this program team.
From the director to the guests, no one followed the stipulated time. It was awesome.
Sinking into the soft sofa, he sighed comfortably.
"Everyone is here. Our staff will take you to the stalls we've prepared for you. Just set up your stall there."
The director finished speaking quickly and waved his hand. The staff came forward and said, "Please follow me."
Everyone followed the staff out and found two cars parked at the door.
The eight people were separated, with four people sitting in one car and the staff member sitting in the passenger seat.
As soon as we got in the car, the driver drove straight forward at a moderate speed.
We soon arrived at the market in Yuelao Village. It was a prosperous scene with people coming and going, so there should be no problems selling the goods.
Xu Jinxiao and his group's car was in front, and the staff led them to the stall that had been prepared long ago.
"Your stall is here."
Following the direction pointed by the staff, Xu Jinxiao looked and found five baskets of peaches, two small stools, and a conspicuous stack of big red plastic bags on the ground. Apart from that, there was nothing else.
The staff took the male and female protagonists to another place. Although they didn't know where their stall was, at least... there was no peach stall in sight.
It will probably take a long time to walk.
Never mind, the most important thing is to sell the peaches first.
He pulled Gu Liangchen and trotted to the stall, picked up the small stool and put it aside.
