The director tapped the script in his hand and squinted his eyes.

He said, "Guests in Group A, all the money you earn from selling the ingredients must be handed over to the program team."

“Although selling the ingredients is not against the rules.” The director said this with gritted teeth: “But——”

"The money you received for this was illegal."

"The only way for all guests to make money is through running the restaurant. Any money earned in any other way does not count."

The director raised his chin and said confidently: "So the money that you, Group A, got from selling the food ingredients is considered 'stolen money' and is not allowed to be used."

"Your restaurant is not open. This is unfair to the guests from Groups B and C who have worked hard all day."

“…”

As soon as the director finished speaking, the living room fell silent.

Everyone's eyes were on Sheng Yuan and Shi Yan.

I couldn't help but be amazed.

It’s over, Sheng Yuan and the others are finished.

The restaurant wasn't even open for business, and without it it wasn't even making any profit.

After much persuasion, they sold the ingredients to Group C and got some money, but now they want to hand over all the money to the program team?

My goodness, that means I’m penniless, right?

The guests in Group A already had a hellish start, and now the heavy blow is adding insult to injury!

The food is gone, the money is gone, and I am left with nothing.

Doesn't that mean that I don't even have the capital to open a restaurant? ? Hiss, ah this...

But.

The audiences in the B and C live broadcast rooms all agreed with the director's approach.

[Yes, Lin Xue, Zheng Baiqing and the others worked very hard to run the restaurant and make money, but Group A just moved their fingers and sold the things provided by the program team, and they got the money easily.]

[Isn't this money too easy to earn? I didn't pay anything. 】

[Moreover, the behavior of the guests in Group A is contrary to the theme of the program. The program is to watch them cook and run a restaurant, not a second-hand trading market. ]

【I strongly agree! 】

[Support the director to confiscate the 'stolen money'! !]

【……】

"But director, what about the restaurant for Group A guests?"

Zheng Baiqing was the first to speak.

There was a look of surprise on her face, and it looked like she couldn't help but ask questions on behalf of Group A who were in a difficult situation.

The director glanced at Sheng Yuan and said, "Oh, let the two guests from Group A figure it out themselves."

The director's meaning was very clear, he didn't care about the life or death of Group A.

Zheng Baiqing heard this and said with a sympathetic tone, "Is that so... Then I can only wish the guests in Group A good luck."

If, two minutes ago, Zheng Baiqing felt extremely regretful for losing the top spot in sales due to refusing Sheng Yuan's deal.

Now, she felt much more balanced in her heart.

Oh, what should Sheng Yuan and the others do now? What can they do guarding an empty "unfinished house"?

Could it be that he was selling boiled water? Zheng Baiqing even imagined the scene in her mind. The more she thought about it, the more funny she felt the scene was.

I really can't help but feel sympathy for her.

“…”

The live broadcast room of Group A guests has gone crazy.

[Damn, this director is such a jerk! ! Damn it! ! ! ]

[I'm so pissed! I want to rush into the screen and hit him with a combo punch! This is totally embarrassing! So disgusting! ! ]

[I've been wanting to say this for a long time! The entire production team's attitude towards Group A is so weird! ]

[Where is this resort? I'll fly there right now! Director Dog, wait for me! ! ]

[Although I am also very angry! But the sister upstairs! Calm down! Have you forgotten what Sister Sheng said, don’t try to stop the fight and don’t be extreme! ! We have to be good kids! ]

[Wow, you have to believe Sister Sheng! Believe in her! It's okay! ]

【……】

"Guests in Group A, please give me the money. Just scan the QR code with Alipay."

The director took out a mobile phone from his pocket, clicked on the payment code, and handed it to Sheng Yuan.

Can't wait to collect the money.

At this moment, the director felt very, extremely comfortable.

finally.

Finally, he managed to control these two rebellious people in Group A! It was his rare highlight moment!

Sheng Yuan lowered her eyes and glanced at the QR code on her phone without saying anything.

The director urged directly, speaking in a rhythmic voice: "Guests in Group A, please abide by the rules and principles of the program team."

Sheng Yuan raised her eyelids: "Of course we will comply, but we just want to confirm it again."

"Director, you just said that we should hand over the money from selling the ingredients, right?"

The director nodded affirmatively: "Yes, that's right!"

Sheng Yuan tilted her head and asked again: "Are you sure? All the - money?"

I don't know why.

When the director heard the last word, he inexplicably felt that something was wrong.

But soon, he calmed down.

What was I thinking about? Right under my nose, in front of everyone, could Sheng Yuan possibly do anything tricky?

Sheng Yuan asked twice, but he was hesitant and refused to take out his phone.

He must be trying to delay time.

Then he would definitely not give Sheng Yuan this opportunity.

Humph, little guy, now you’re panicking and anxious.

Director: "Sure, all the money! All the money! Only the money!"

To be on the safe side, the director even publicly added the rule that "Except for the profits obtained from running the restaurant, all money obtained by the guests in any way is considered dirty money. Once a violation occurs, all dirty money must be turned in."

Sheng Yuan and Shi Yan must pay the money today!

There is absolutely no room for them to maneuver.

Almost everyone has already decided.

Once Sheng Yuan handed over the money, it was basically a foregone conclusion that the guests in Group A would be eliminated.

I couldn't help but worry about them.

Sheng Yuan suddenly curled her lips and said, "Very good."

Everyone: ??? Very good what?!

No, at this moment, how can this sister still laugh?

Could it be that too much joy leads to sorrow, and they are ready to completely give up? ? ? At this time, the guest live broadcast room of Group A——

[Oh my god, my family! I have a feeling... [Excited JPG.]]

[Here it comes, I have a feeling it’s coming again…[Excited JPG.]]

Passersby collectively: [TT is here again, what is this premonition...]

【……】

"Hurry up, Group A guests."

The director handed over the lit payment code again.

After he finished speaking, he turned around and looked at Lin Xue and Zhang Yang: "Oh, by the way, Group C guests, how much did Sheng Yuan and the others charge you in total? What is the exact number?"
