Barrage——

[Group B guests! Please suppress your crazy upward smile! Get this! Your group is at the bottom!!]

[I can’t stop laughing. Look at the expressions of Group B’s guests. It’s written all over their faces: Group A guests, please recruit me again. Hahahaha! ]

[Qun Jie: Let’s make Group A’s punishment mission more intense!!]

【……】

Perhaps it was because Qunjie's eyes of 'please take him away' and the program crew's 'please let him go' were too sincere.

Sheng Yuan nodded.

Qunjie smiled happily: That’s great, I was poached again^^!

All the staff of the program team cried with joy: Wow, it’s great, we finally escaped! ! But we still have to continue sweeping the streets tomorrow, because——

The director has once again fallen behind! When everyone thought of this, they looked at the director with eyes that seemed to want to kill him! - 4:30 in the morning.

It was still dark and the small western-style building where the guests lived was quiet. All the guests were still asleep.

With a creaking sound.

The door of the small western-style building was opened. In the dim light, visibility was extremely low and one could only see a black figure sneaking in from outside the door mysteriously.

There was a rustling sound, like the wheels of a suitcase dragging on the floor.

Then, there was a faint voice talking.

"Teacher, the rest room is ready here, just..."

"Okay, okay. Got it."

The answer was from a young male voice. Even though he was speaking through a mask, he couldn't hide the excitement and anticipation that was coming out of his words.

“…”

Seven-thirty in the morning.

It’s time for the three groups of guests to go out and purchase ingredients.

But the director suddenly asked someone to notify all the guests to gather downstairs.

——The camera turns on the group shot.

All three groups of six people are present.

Zheng Baiqing, who had left temporarily yesterday afternoon, also came back. She was sitting on the sofa with her arms folded. There was no embarrassment or evasion on her face after the "car rollover incident". Not only that, there was a smug smile on the corner of her mouth and a look of contempt in her eyes.

The director stood in the middle with a flowchart in his hand and cleared his throat.

"Since the opening of each group of guest restaurants, they have been receiving tourists from the resort, but today, we have specially invited three special guests."

"In the remaining two days of the first episode, these three guests will take turns having lunch and dinner at your three groups of restaurants, and then rate them with 1, 2, and 3 points, from high to low, in order."

"The deadline is the evening of the twelfth day. The restaurant with the highest score will receive a turnover of 20,000, which will be included in the total turnover."

After saying.

The director glanced at the expressions of the six people present, and then left the question in suspense.

"Then let us welcome our first guest."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Baiqing, who was sitting, suddenly straightened her back, looking curiously and expectantly.

The operators in the live broadcast room of the program are very good at creating an atmosphere.

First, a slightly tense BGM sounded, and then the scene changed to a tightly closed door. The camera began to add slow-motion special effects, and the mysterious effect was very well done.

——The door slowly opened, a hazy picture effect appeared, and then the sound of high heels "tapping tapping" was heard.

It was almost immediately possible to tell that the first guest was a woman.

As expected.

A line of introductory subtitles appeared on the live broadcast screen:

Meng Qiong, a food short video creator with three million fans, has received widespread attention with her short video "My Hometown Food and Me", setting a record for the highest subscription volume for food channels on domestic and foreign short video platforms, and won the Weibo Food Celebrity Award at the Weibo Celebrity Festival. A year ago, she founded an independent personal brand under her own name "Meng Qiong", which is also very popular.

[WTF! It’s really Meng Qiong! The program crew actually invited her?!]

[It’s no exaggeration to say that the food in my refrigerator is all from Meng Qiong! They are really good! ]

【……】

Meng Qiong walked in front of everyone, not nervous at all, and smiled gracefully: "Hello everyone, I am Meng Qiong."

The director took the lead in applauding; "Everyone welcome."

Zheng Baiqing was the most active in clapping.

"Sister Meng Qiong, welcome!"

Zheng Baiqing's call of "Sister Meng Qiong" instantly informed everyone present that she and Meng Qiong had a close relationship.

But that's all.

Zheng Baiqing seemed to think that was not enough, she even stood up and greeted Meng Qiong enthusiastically: "Sister Meng Qiong, come and sit over here."

Lin Xue, who was standing by, asked curiously, "Bai Qing, do you and Miss Meng know each other?"

It was like I was waiting for this sentence specifically.

Zheng Baiqing almost didn't pause. She turned around and enthusiastically introduced: "This, Meng Qiong is my senior in the same company. He is a super powerful senior."

Seniors and juniors.

Plus Zheng Baiqing's familiar attitude.

All of a sudden, the relationship between the two became closer.

Zheng Baiqing was talking excitedly here and didn't notice at all that when Meng Qiong heard her words, his expression froze and his face darkened for a second or two.

——Meng Qiong didn't want to come. She was already a celebrity on the food channel. She really looked down on this kind of variety show that had no basic background, as it would easily lower her status.

However, his intention to go solo was discovered by the company's top management. Due to many things that could not be discussed openly, he had no choice but to compromise and help Zheng Baiqing, the newcomer that the company was trying to promote.

This was the main reason why the program crew agreed so readily to Zheng Baiqing’s request to stop recording yesterday.

The temporary guest who was originally going to be on the show was another little-known internet celebrity.

But when the little internet celebrity was compared with Meng Qiong, the program crew naturally did not hesitate and replaced her.

Meng Qiong was speechless for a while.

Zheng Baiqing is still stuck with the cooking incident, so don’t let her get implicated.

However, fortunately, I am not like Zheng Baiqing, who has real abilities and is not afraid of being investigated.

But the director just said that the three guests would take turns to rate the three groups of restaurants, and Zheng Baiqing came up and tried to gain influence. Even if I wanted to favor her, I couldn't do it justifiably and without giving others a chance to talk about me. She was so stupid, so foolish.

Think of this.

After a little thought, Meng Qiong directly and generously admitted that he was Zheng Baiqing's predecessor.

Then he brushed her hand away.

He smiled at the camera and said, "I will guarantee that my ratings for the three restaurants tomorrow and the day after tomorrow will be absolutely fair. There are no backdoors with me."

"Everyone can rest assured."

“…”

Director: "OK, let's welcome the second guest--"
