The 43rd melon
"What? The guest didn't go to the village meeting?"
Director Yu suddenly stood up, his eyes wide open, "No, our drones are following them, right? Where did they go?"
The photographer operating the drone looked embarrassed, "They went to a very strange place..."
Director Yu and his staff hurried to the village entrance. The village cadres were still waiting for people at the entrance, and standing next to them was a young man who came here to make a lot of money.
The young man touched his bald head from job hunting and said, "I was called here by an old college classmate! I played with my phone for too long in the car and it died. There is no power bank here, so I can't contact my old classmate."
"So they picked up the wrong person? They took the guest from the program?" The village official understood and asked the young man, "Aren't you college classmates? It's fine if the guests didn't recognize me and made a mistake, but how could your classmate be mistaken?"
"It's face blindness." The young man explained.
Everyone: “…”
"Well!" said the village official. "Since we know it's a misunderstanding, just bring him back. But what's the name of your old classmate? Is he from Qingchuan Village? Didn't we agree to meet at the village entrance? Why did he take him somewhere else?"
"He doesn't seem to be from Qingchuan Village," the young man scratched the back of his head. "He said there's a national engineering project here and he can make a lot of money... Isn't that why I'm here to make a lot of money?"
Everyone: “…”
The village cadres said earnestly: "Young man, have you ever seen any big money-making projects that can be earned in this mountain valley?"
Young man: “Ah, this…”
"Let's go and pick them up first!" the village cadre sighed.
"No--!"
Director Yu stopped the village cadres, "I don't know why, but I have a very familiar feeling. We can't just go pick them up!"
Village cadres:?
The photographer next to him was not idle either. He was still carrying a camera and took a picture of the scene where Director Yu discovered that it was a misunderstanding and uploaded it to the live broadcast room.
When the audience heard Director Yu's words, they all echoed:
[Director Yu, please tell me, this scene feels very familiar to me too!]
[Every time something feels off... that's when the melons are about to come!]
[The drone is still live streaming, and I think something is very fishy! There must be something fishy going on here!]
It doesn't matter whether it's gossip or not right now... But when all this information is added together, coupled with Director Yu's intuition from the third episode of the variety show—
"Let's call the police first!"
The other side
Spreading and selling dens
The boss continued to lobby the guests, his mouth dry and his words parched.
"The country's macroeconomic control measures are designed to screen out timid people like you!" The boss patted Xiao Li's shoulder with a familiar air. "Comrade Xiao Li, for example, has withstood the country's test! He's already been promoted to our manager level! By the time you join the game, you'll be a long way behind him!"
The boss pointed at Wen Wanning and said, "Comrade, you and Xiao Li are old classmates, right? You two are no longer the same kind of people now!"
"Think about me back then. I didn't even go to college. I started working right after graduating from high school. My starting point was nowhere near as good as yours! But now? I've joined this key national poverty alleviation project, and I'm a completely different person!"
"I have a wife, I have a child, and of course I have a car and a house. I'm a true winner in life!"
The people around him all looked at the boss with envy, and hoped that their future would be like the boss's.
There were only guests and Lin Cha, the former drowsy, the latter blinking—
Ah, this...
Winner in life?
【Not necessarily? 】
When the guests heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up like searchlights!
We won’t be sleepy anymore if you say that!
Lin Cha didn't check at all, thinking that everyone was "carefully" listening to the boss's instructions, and quietly opened her melon-eating system again -
【Smack, smack, smack!】
[I didn't expect this! The boss didn't believe this was a national key project at first!]
[At the time, the upline wanted to impress the boss, so he found a woman to trick him. The boss was completely captivated by the beauty and, of course, wanted to make money quickly so he could get married and have children!]
Let me see...
[Fuck! The upline guy didn't have much money back then, so he couldn't find a woman to seduce the boss. So he could only persuade his wife to seduce the boss! The boss's current wife is the upline guy's wife!!!]
[One wife, two husbands, two men share one wife!!!]
All guests:!!!
Wow wow wow wow!!!
Is this the winner in life that the boss talks about?
The wife is not even your own!
Jiang Mingkai, a fellow tradesman, silently took out a candle in his heart and lit a candle for the boss.
[Smack, smack, this lady has made a plan for herself: one wife, two husbands. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, she's at home with her boss. Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, she just finds an excuse to go back home and spend time with her online boss! Guess the ding shell on Sunday, and whoever you guess gets to go to their house!]
[As for the child the boss mentioned...it's definitely the one online! After all, being with the online one first makes you feel closer!]
The boss is now working hard to develop MLM and make money to support his wife and children, but his wife manages all his payroll cards... The wife was overjoyed to see such a large sum of money, so she went to her upline and said, "Look, he's giving me money, why aren't you giving me money too?"
[The online boss felt very embarrassed, but he had to take care of his wife's feelings and let her continue to appease the boss to make money for him, so he had no choice but to give all the money to his wife! ]
[So in the end... the winner in life is actually this lady!!!]
The forest tea is breathtaking.
The guests were also amazed.
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!
I didn’t expect that the final winner would be my wife!
The guests looked at the boss with sympathy and...uncontrollable laughter.
It's a green hat again~
Lush green, luscious green~~~
When the boss saw that the guests were all laughing, he had an idea.
This is a sign of drama!
This means that these people were persuaded by him!
The boss feels that if he works harder, he can make more money and give it to his wife and children!
So the boss took out his wallet and flipped through the pink Mao Zedong banknotes inside.
"Let me show you this. These are just my weekly turnover. I told you, my today is your tomorrow! If you join too late, you won't be able to make this much money after this poverty alleviation project ends!"
The people around watching this became red-eyed and more active.
Lu Yanyan took a look and silently took out her wallet.
——There is not a single pink bill in it.
The boss was very proud when he saw this.
He patted Lu Yanyan's shoulder comfortingly, "Young man, don't be discouraged! Join us sooner or later. Sooner or later, your wallet will be full and you won't have to carry these pitch-black cards... What kind of bank card is this? Why is it black?"
Lin Cha is quiet——
[Centurion Black Gold Card, the king of cards, with no upper limit. Cardholders must be billionaires or above, otherwise they will not be issued.]
The boss didn't recognize it and just thought it was a black card. He stuffed it back into Lu Yanyan's wallet with great disdain.
Lu Yanyan: “…”
The boss continued to boast, "I promise, if you join for a month, not only will your wallet be filled to the brim, you'll be able to buy a luxury watch like mine!"
"Do you know the brand of my watch?"
"This..." The guests looked at each other with a bewildered look on their faces, "I really don't know."
"Rolls-Royce! The king of watches!"
Guests:?
Rolls-Royce also makes watches?
Bro, are you sure you don't mean Rolex?
Zhou Zexu glanced at the boss's Rolls-Royce and said, "Brother, your watch is nice, but it doesn't have a second hand!"
Boss:!
"What do you know, you country bumpkin!" the boss cursed. "Famous brand watches don't have second hands! That's common sense!"
Zhou Zexu: "..."
But seeing that Zhou Zexu in front of him was the only beauty in the group, although her figure was frighteningly tall, her skin was fair and tender, and her appearance was good, the boss became lustful and softened his tone. "Sister, wait until you join our organization, and I'll give you this watch!"
After saying that, the boss pinched Zhou Zexu's perky butt! The feeling made the boss's eyes light up. He looked thin, but he didn't expect it to be so elastic!
Zhou Zexu:!!!
That old pervert actually touched my butt!!!
Moreover, the other party felt that the texture was good... and actually pinched it again!
Zhou Zexu wants to go crazy!!!
Zhou Zexu wanted to scream!!!
The "old lady" Jiang Mingkai next to him held his hand tightly and whispered encouragement.
"Brother! Hold on! Hold on!"
Jiang Mingkai held Zhou Zexu's trembling hand tightly, and his own body began to tremble as well.
The boss stared at the trembling "Grandma Jiang" and felt that this old lady had a very good figure!
As if possessed by some mysterious force, he also pinched Jiang Mingkai!
Wow!
So big! So perky! So chewy!
Jiang Mingkai:!!!
Let me kill this bastard!!!
Jiang Mingkai jumped up and swung his fist at the boss. Liu Mingqian and Chen Xianzhi quickly held him down.
The boss turned around suddenly, and Liu Mingqian and Chen Xianzhi immediately patted Jiang Mingkai's butt, repeatedly comforting him:
"Saying you have a big butt is a compliment!"
"A big butt makes it easy to give birth!"
Jiang Mingkai: ▽ pan ▽#
I am now a hunchbacked old grandmother, and I gave birth to you, a ball of wool!
Wen Wanning stepped between the two parties and deliberately brought up a new topic to divert the boss's attention.
"Since this is a national project, what is its main purpose? Can you tell us more about it?"
The boss said seriously, "It's a national key project, it's a confidential project, how can I tell you all the details!"
"But it's definitely something that benefits the country! Like building high-speed rail? Building highways? And things like that! After they're built, the country will reward us!"
Upon hearing this, the other people nodded in agreement.
“From this perspective, this project is very reliable!”
"After all, this is a national project! Building high-speed rail and highways benefits both the country and the people!"
"I'm really tempted by what you said. I was planning to go back and discuss it with my family, but now I'm going to the bank to withdraw money to invest!!"
“Is it really reliable?”
Lin Cha asked a soul-searching question, "We only have a hundred people here, and at most, we only have a little over seven million people. Can we build a high-speed railway and a highway?"
Lu Yanyan also stabbed in the back, "Besides, is the country stupid for investing 60,000 yuan in a project that returns 10 million yuan?"
The boss choked.
Why are these people so annoying? Not only do they not invest, they also always try to sabotage him!
The people around heard what the two "young men" said and whispered to each other again -
"It seems like seven million can't build anything. I heard from my Hu Zi that national projects often cost tens of billions or even hundreds of billions!"
"A return of 10 million for 60,000...that's really too high...it's almost like buying a lottery ticket!"
A thin layer of sweat oozed from the boss's forehead, which he carefully wiped off with a handkerchief.
He was just thinking about what words he could use to deceive people, when at this moment, a loud and noisy sound came from the factory door, and a group of staff members in work clothes carrying cameras arrived at the scene.
Someone in the crowd shouted:
"Isn't this a staff member from the 'Leisure Life' production team?"
"The boss said that Miss Lu also invested in our project. It seems to be true!"
"Even the wealthy Lu family has invested in this project, which means it's very credible!"
The boss wiped his sweat again.
Aha?
Are the people from the program crew here?
But he doesn't even know the crew of the "Leisure Life" program! Isn't that all his lies?
Not only did the production crew come, but the police came too! They were right next to the fat, beady-eyed man who led the production team!
Some old people were very excited and shouted loudly:
"Don't worry! This is just a routine inspection! The police come here once a week!"
"I specifically asked the police officer before! He said this is a national project, no doubt about it! They even invested in it themselves! Now you can rest assured, right?"
The boss was relieved after hearing this.
That's right! This was a routine checkup he'd specially arranged! Then these people from the production team... must have been secretly arranged by him online!
The boss was moved to tears.
Not only did his boss find him a good job, he also gave him a good wife! Now in this crisis, he even found an actor to help him smooth things over!
Woo woo woo!
His online presence is great!
The boss walked forward carelessly and put his arm around the shoulder of a policeman.
"Mr. Police, thank you for your hard work! You're here to inspect in this weather..." The boss deliberately approached them and whispered, "Wait for me at the door when you're done. I'll take you guys out to eat! Afterwards, we'll go get massages together. I know there's a new massage parlor in town with excellent service..."
The two young police officers looked at each other, and in an instant, they drew their batons and pointed them at the boss. "Don't move! Police!"
The boss was startled, touched the baton, and whispered, "Oh my! This thing is quite realistic, the quality is good... good, good, good, good..."
White electric shock surged out from the baton, shocking the boss so much that he trembled and could not speak clearly. Finally, he fell to the ground and convulsed.
The police quickly surrounded the pyramid scheme den.
This was a very successful crackdown - after all, the ringleader approached the police at first and was successfully brought to justice by electric shock.
The whole process was stress-free and went extremely smoothly.
Some of the remaining people were unaware of the truth and looked bewildered, but a large number of people already knew it was a pyramid scheme and fled in panic when they saw the police.
Chen Xianzhi pulled out a pinhole camera from his pocket and handed it to Officer Liu, who was in charge of cracking down on the drug den.
——After the last Lijia Village incident, Chen Xianzhi bought a pinhole camera specifically. For some reason, he felt that this thing would definitely come in handy. He didn't expect that he would actually use it this time.
With the evidence provided by Chen Xianzhi, it would be even better to convict the criminal gang involved in this pyramid scheme.
Director Yu obtained permission and brought a PD to film the situation at the sales den. The audience in the live broadcast room were stunned when they saw it all.
[Oh my god! I knew there would be a melon today! I didn’t expect it to be this big!]
[This is hilarious! Are these show guests like dead elementary school students? They get into trouble wherever they go!]
[The production team deserves a huge nod this time, actually helping bust a pyramid scheme operation! My cousin was scammed out of money by these scumbags before, and that was money that was supposed to be used for his mother's medical treatment!]
[These criminals must not be let off! ! ! ]
[I just saw a college classmate of mine on Director Yu's camera! No way! He wasn't tricked into coming here too!]
[Innocent college students are the easiest to be deceived! Be careful! Dog head.jpg]
All the people involved in the pyramid scheme were controlled by the police and forced to leave the factory.
The boss also woke up from the coma caused by electric shock.
He still couldn't accept it all, cursing, "We're not a pyramid scheme! We're a national poverty alleviation project! We have official government documents!"
"If you don't believe me, go ask the neighboring Qingchuan Village. Lu Yanyan, the eldest daughter of their Lu Group, is a senior investor here!"
Lu Yanyan and others had just come down from the factory when they heard these words.
She took off her wig, pointed at herself and asked the boss, "The Miss Lu you're talking about...is that me?"
Boss: ???
The boss blinked and looked at the people behind Lu Yanyan in disbelief.
Zhou Zexu also took off his wig, his face gloomy, "I am the bald Zhou you mentioned..."
The other guests also took off their wigs one by one.
"Permanent guest, Chen Xianzhi."
"Permanent guest, Liu Mingqian."
"Permanent guest, Jiang Mingkai."
"Permanent guest, Wen Wanning."
"Permanent guest, Lin Cha..."
The boss was confused. Why are all the guests from the "Leisure Life" program here?
That's not right. Isn't the new guy brought in this year... Xiao Li's old classmate?!
How did these guests become the guests!
If it weren't for the guest who came to his pyramid scheme den, how could his scam be exposed? How could the police come to him!
The boss gnashed his teeth: "Xiao Li!!!"
Xiao Li, who suffers from prosopagnosia, is nearby right now.
After hearing the guests' self-introductions, Xiao Li's shoulders trembled and he silently stepped back...
How can this be blamed on him?
He is just a poor guy who suffers from prosopagnosia and can't recognize his old classmates!
He is a patient!
Don't blame him, this is not his fault...
By the time the guests finished taking their statements at the police station, it was already dark and the villagers' meeting had long ended.
Director Yu said that since everyone failed to attend the villagers' meeting, they failed to complete the task, but Liu Mingqian insisted that as long as their identities were not discovered by others, they had successfully hidden themselves!
——After all, he didn’t attend the villagers’ meeting from beginning to end, so how could there be a chance that his identity would be discovered?
It was already very late, and Director Yu took into consideration that everyone had also had the unfortunate experience of "accidentally entering a propaganda den", so he decided to let the guests go.
Lin Cha was picked up by Chen Yun and put into the RV, which drove towards the Zijinhua community.
In the car, Chen Yun and Lin Cha discussed their plans for the coming week. As a newcomer, she didn't have any other announcements, but the schedule for "Painted Bones" had come out. Star Shine had already announced the cast, and the actors would be on set for a script reading tomorrow, with filming starting the day after tomorrow.
It was a pity for Sun Qianqian that she failed to invite Chen Zui in the end. She was replaced by the new actor Zhai Ziang, who is a rising star with considerable popularity recently. He has made many movies, some of which were big hits with good box office.
"If you meet Zhai Ziang on set, be more considerate of him," Chen Yun said. "The Zhai family is also one of the investors of Painted Bones. Let's not mess with the financial sponsor."
Lin Cha blinked and nodded.
She never causes trouble, but a lot of things happen around her inexplicably!
But that has nothing to do with her.
"There's one more thing," Chen Yun continued, "right after you finished filming, Wen Wanning announced her retirement from the entertainment industry, including the program."
Lin Cha had just been concentrating on taking notes at the police station and hadn't heard of this news. She was a little surprised, "Why is it so sudden?"
"After all, the exposure of the Queen of the Sea's affairs had a significant impact on her," Chen Yun said. "Although Han Ziqi's prostitution and Chen Kaiwen's sleeping with young models suppressed the incident, many people online have criticized her. You know, the current environment is not favorable to Wen Wanning."
"I just don't know. After this incident, the Huo family is still unwilling to acknowledge Wen Wanning as their daughter-in-law."
Lin Cha did not answer Chen Yun.
The Huo family was definitely unwilling to acknowledge Wen Wanning, but from the beginning to the end, it was Huo Yanci, not the Huo family, who fell in love with Wen Wanning.
Lin Cha didn't have time to watch it that night, but later he dug into the story. In order to reach a contract marriage with Wen Wanning, Huo Yanci gave Wen Wanning 100 million!
Being so rich, why does Wen Wanning still stay in the entertainment industry?
It’s just a pity that Lin Cha won’t be able to see the beautiful sister on the show in the future.
Lin Cha returned to the Zijinhua Apartment to rest safely. Meanwhile, the news of her becoming the second female lead in "Painted Bones" continued to ferment online.
Netizens knew that she would play the second female lead before, and had watched her audition clip. They were already very satisfied with Lin Cha. After seeing Lin Cha's makeup photos, they were even more looking forward to Lin Cha's role.
The popularity of Lin tea has skyrocketed on the Internet.
At the same time, in the Liushui Villa halfway up the Xishan Mountain in Hai City, the intoxicated agent was also watching Lin Cha's audition clip.
"I have to say, this little girl has quite the acting talent! Chenzui, it's a shame you didn't play the male lead in 'Painted Bones'! If you did, you could get to know this new actor!"
"How good can it be?" Chen Zui didn't care.
"I don't think I'm even inferior to you," the agent said truthfully.
Chen Zui was a little surprised. His agent had a good eye for talent, especially when it came to acting. To be able to give such an evaluation showed that Lin Cha was quite capable.
The agent noticed the surprise in Chenzui's eyes and simply turned on the TV, projecting the screen to play the scene of Lin Cha playing Shang Qianqian.
"If you don't believe me, just look and see for yourself."
There is no makeup, no background music, and no opposing actors.
There is only Lincha on the picture, and only Lincha.
It was still that plain face, no different from the ones he had seen before.
I didn't take it to heart.
But when her eyes swept across "Shang Qianqian", she simply raised her eyes, and Chenzui suddenly froze.
He is extremely talented in acting.
He saw it just from a glance.
He stared at "Shang Qianqian" on TV, and felt that a piece of his heart that had long been withered suddenly came back to life.
The black and white world that had lost its color suddenly had a touch of bright color again.
For a long, long time.
He was silent for a long time.
It lasted so long that the audition clip was finished, and the agent kept calling Shenzui's name, and Shenzui finally woke up from his dream.
He looked at the girl drinking blood in the camera, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a faint and doting smile.
Forest Tea——
I finally found you.
