Chapter 25 Don’t mess with Sister Meng
Although Meng Chuyuan's team finished their mission early and returned, the number of people in their live broadcast room did not decrease, and the popularity remained.
While they were doing their task, the director came back and brought breakfast to the scene.
"Good morning, everyone." The director watched the three groups of guests come back after completing their tasks. He still had the unfinished roujiamo in his hand and was eating it in big mouthfuls, not treating them as outsiders at all.
Meng Chuyuan had a faint smile on his face: "Director, why don't you look at the sun above your head before you speak?"
The director had just taken a bite of his roujiamo when he heard Meng Chuyuan's answer and suddenly choked.
Everyone was amused by Meng Chuyuan's words and the director's reaction.
[Sister Meng: I'm really impressed by you, Old Six. It's almost time for lunch, is it still early?]
[I can see that Sister Meng wanted to laugh at Xiao Paocai, but she held it back.]
The director pretended to be nonchalant, as if he wasn't the one who drank too much last night.
[Sister Meng, please give the director some face, hahahaha. After this incident, everyone in the country knows that the director won't drink anymore.]
"Ahem..." The director cleared his throat twice, looking a little embarrassed. He subconsciously put away the roujiamo in his hand and didn't feel comfortable continuing to eat it.
After a while, the director asked someone to bring up today's menu price list.
Mutton is 25 labor coins, chicken is 20 labor coins, carrots are 6 labor coins...
Since the director felt that yesterday's auction was not very cost-effective, this time the prices were clearly marked for everyone to choose, and there was a sufficient quantity.
After reading the price list, Meng Chuyuan was the first to raise a question: "25 labor coins for mutton? Isn't that a bit too much?"
The director replied sincerely: "How can it be too much? Our production team also needs expenses."
Not only does the program team limit the price of meat to more than 20 labor coins, but even onions, ginger, and garlic require 2 labor coins to exchange.
"Isn't that a lot? The price of each dish we auctioned yesterday wasn't more than 20 labor coins, and the labor coins we were given after completing each mission weren't much either."
Including the 40 labor coins earned yesterday afternoon, Meng Chuyuan and his team now have a total of 90 labor coins.
Everyone spent the coins they won from picking dates yesterday on the auction. Not only did Meng Chuyuan feel that it was inappropriate, the other two groups were also not very satisfied with the price list.
Qi Zhen followed suit: "Yes, Director, your arrangement is too unreasonable."
The Qi Detective Team ranked last in the last two missions, and the accumulated labor coins are not many. If they really want to exchange them according to the price list of the program team, they will not be able to accumulate labor coins later.
"Director, I also think your price is too high," said Liao Jiake.
Meng Chuyuan: "We'll work ourselves to death on a day's mission, and the top performer will get a maximum of 100 labor coins. Director, do you think that's appropriate?"
The director originally thought that there was nothing wrong with his arrangement, because he did the same thing in the first season, but who could have thought that Meng Chuyuan would actually stand up and sabotage it? He was so embarrassed that he almost lost face.
[Sister Meng is so brave, she actually dared to challenge the director]
I've always felt that the amount of labor coins the production team gave out was too little, but since no one seemed to care about it, I didn't bring it up at the time. I didn't expect Sister Meng to bring it up today.
Judging from the director's expression, it seems Sister Meng's words made him doubt himself. Absolutely amazing.
[The director is fearless, but now he's probably just afraid of Sister Meng, hahaha]
[Director: How about I give you the director position?]
The director was made hesitant by them and discussed it quietly with several colleagues around him for a while. After thinking about it, he felt that he had to obey the guests' wishes.
After all, for the director, they are the ancestors who can bring traffic to the program.
Especially Meng Chuyuan, she is very popular now, and she is a temporary substitute on the show, so if she is unhappy, she may leave at any time.
The director thought about it and decided to compromise: "Then I'll lower it a bit?"
Meng Chuyuan said bluntly: "How much can it be reduced?"
"How about giving you a 20% discount?"
Hearing that they could get a 20% discount, the other two groups' expressions looked a little better, as if they were quite satisfied with the result, but Meng Chuyuan remained calm.
Just when others were about to agree to the director's request——
"Why don't you keep it for yourself?" Meng Chuyuan didn't show her emotions, but from her tone, it could be judged that she was a little dissatisfied.
director:"……"
Lu Jinsen stood aside and did not participate in the bargaining process at all.
Although it was somewhat satisfying to see the director being embarrassed by Meng Chuyuan, he also knew that there was no benefit in offending the director.
This is only the first episode. If you make enemies with the director now, who knows what will happen later.
Lu Jinsen leaned slightly, lowered his head, and whispered to Meng Chuyuan, "That's enough."
"I know my limits."
The director scratched his head and ears, his face full of helplessness and frustration.
After a long while, the director compromised again: "Then tell me, what do you think is appropriate?"
Meng Chuyuan said calmly: "You are the PD, you ask me?"
“…” The director remained silent again.
[Did you see the director's expression? It changed instantly. Hahaha, aren't you laughing? I can't help it. I'll laugh first.]
[The director bowed his head, but not completely, hahahahahaha]
I'd be angry too. I've been doing manual labor these past two days, and not only are they paying me so little, but they're also making the food prices so high. I feel like I have no food to eat after finishing my last one.
[Director, please change the price and stop dancing on Sister Meng's head.]
[Sister Meng v587, what I'm saying is, don't mess with Sister Meng, no matter who you mess with.]
[Several fake marketing accounts were blocked overnight yesterday. Does anyone know about this?! I bet this woman has a backer.]
In the end, the director compromised first and reduced the discount from 20% to 50%.
Meng Chuyuan's group changed to two meat dishes and two vegetarian dishes, and when they left, they did not forget to take her wild hawthorn and pine cones with them.
The sharp-eyed director noticed that Meng Chuyuan and the others had taken two baskets, so he stopped them immediately: "Wait, what did you take?"
Meng Chuyuan turned around and saw the director staring at the basket in her hand. She raised her hand and gestured, "Are you talking about this?"
"Is the settlement settled? You guys just want to take it?"
"Are you sure these two things are on your menu?"
The director looked back at the board behind him, and found that there were really no hawthorns or pine cones on it, which made him feel a little guilty.
After a moment, the director pretended to be calm and said, "It's okay, you can go."
[Hahahaha, I feel embarrassed even through the screen]
[Little guy, Sister Meng can’t cure you, haha]
[The director isn't in good form today, constantly making mistakes. Is he still drunk?]
What’s wrong with the director today? Hahaha, isn’t it embarrassing enough?
Meng Chuyuan indifferently withdrew his gaze without saying a word to the director, and left in a very casual manner.
