Chapter 53: Classic Reappearance
The three groups of guests returned to their respective residences and cleaned up the house during their lunch break.
The sweet potatoes, chestnuts and pecans that the old lady gave to Meng Chuyuan in the last episode are still there. When they left for the last time, these things were stored with the program crew.
Just when they were packing up, the staff delivered these things to Meng Chuyuan.
Staff: "These are the items you deposited last time. You need to pay us 10 labor coins."
"Okay, I understand." Meng Chuyuan took out 10 labor coins left over from the previous period and handed them to the staff.
The live broadcast was turned off after they left school last time. Meng Chuyuan had privately negotiated with the program team about the storage matter.
Because they didn't finish eating and were afraid of wasting it, and thinking that they had to continue recording the second episode, there was no need to take it back, so Meng Chuyuan thought of asking the program crew to keep it temporarily.
When Director Luo heard that Meng Chuyuan had a request, he naturally would not miss this opportunity, so he proposed to Meng Chuyuan: It would cost 10 labor coins to store the items.
There was no way to record the terms of the exchange because there was no live broadcast at that time. However, the program crew was very smart. They first kept the things for Meng Chuyuan, and then kept them until the second episode started to let her pay the labor coins. The program crew was afraid of being accused of withholding the guests' labor coins.
[I almost forgot, my sister Meng still has these supplies]
[The production team was so thoughtful this time, they actually brought these things all the way here for Sister Meng. However, the labor currency is a bit out of place, hahaha. It feels like something Director Luo would do.]
[Help! Seeing this bag of sweet potatoes reminded me of the old man and grandmother from the last episode. I guess they still don’t know that Sister Meng and the others have left the village.]
In the afternoon, the six guests were tasked with cleaning up the garbage on the beach.
Meng Chuyuan and his group lived closer to the pier, so they were the first to arrive. The other two groups of guests were still on their way.
The program crew rented a large fishing boat, which looked a bit old and must have been there for quite some time.
Maybe because it was because they were at sea, the wind seemed a little strong today. Meng Chuyuan put on a short black suit with a white shirt inside, loose jeans and black Martin boots, which not only showed off her slender figure, but also highlighted the layering effect.
Even her high ponytail was blown up by the wind, and the hair on her forehead looked a little messy.
Lu Jinsen put on his sweatshirt hood and let his bangs cover his eyebrows. The sea breeze blew inadvertently, revealing his deep eyes. Half of the fierceness in his eyes faded, making him look cute and well-behaved.
After they arrived, they went straight on board and waited for other guests to show up.
The production team is so good at saving money that they don’t even want to rent a good boat.
[You know what, Lu Jinsen was quite handsome at that moment]
After Meng tied her hair up, I realized that her outfit today was a bit sweet and cool. I want to ask for the link of her coat, it's so beautiful. If the administrator of the live broadcast room sees it, can you help pass it on?
The knitted vest that Sister Meng wore this morning was also very nice. It might have been a bit cold without sleeves, so she changed into a blazer, hahaha.
[Damn! How could someone wear a blazer and shirt with jeans? And still look so good in it?]
Not long after, the other two groups of guests arrived, but Qi Yan did not show up this time.
When Liao Jiake's team met Qi Zhen, they happened to be at the dock. Seeing Qi Zhen alone, Liao Jiake asked curiously, "Qi Zhen, where's your sister? Didn't she come?"
Qi Zhen said a little embarrassedly: "She is feeling a little unwell."
Liao Jiake: "Okay."
Qi Yan said that she was not used to the climate there and was caught in a windy morning, so she asked for leave from the production team. The director saw that she did not look very good and asked her to stay on the island to rest.
Anyway, it didn't affect Qi Zhen much. Instead, he felt more relaxed without Qi Yan around.
"I'll go up first, and then help you over." Qi Zhen boarded the boat first, then reached out and slowly brought the Liao sisters over safely one by one.
After Liao Jiake safely boarded the boat, she gently said to Qi Zhen, "Thank you."
[Fuck! I suddenly want to ship Keke and Qi Zhen as a brother-sister pair.]
[Why can't Keke be Qi Zhen's sister? That way they would look like siblings.]
[Brother Qi Zhen is so warm-hearted and really good at taking care of people. Now I am obsessed with him every day hahahahaha]
[After a closer look, Qi Yan really can't compare to Liao Jiake. She is really gentle and lovely. Where can you find such a beautiful and kind elder sister?]
They took a fishing boat back to the beach this morning, and the program crew prepared gloves, sacks and garbage collectors for the guests.
Most of the garbage on the beach comes from the ocean, and is washed ashore by the waves. After being left unattended for a long time, some of the garbage has been buried by sand and stones.
Director: "Everyone's task this afternoon is to clean up the trash on the beach below us. There is no ranking order for this task. Everyone should pick up the trash together when they see it. After completing it, each group will receive 100 labor coins."
After finishing speaking, the director quietly observed the expressions of the guests and asked humbly, "Do you think it's ok?"
After Meng Chuyuan pointed out that the program's activity arrangements were unreasonable last time, Director Luo, after careful consideration, decided to modify the rules and double the labor coins previously set for everyone.
Director, do you think this increase is acceptable?
He made this decision with great determination. If everyone is still not satisfied, should he reluctantly raise the price a little more?
[Director Luo is so thoughtful this time, he's willing to give the guests a raise in labor currency.]
[It must be because they said that the labor coins were too little last time, and the director was so scared that he quickly changed the plan, hahahaha]
[Director: Stop scolding me, I know I was wrong]
[The director may have done this to please Sister Meng, because the previous contract was not negotiated, and the production team is madly showing their sincerity.]
[That's great! I hope the increase is only for the labor coins paid to guests, and there's no need to increase the exchange rate. Otherwise, 100 won't be enough.]
The five guests looked at each other and said without objection: "Okay... no problem."
When the director saw that everyone agreed, a smile appeared on his face: "Then everyone can get their tools and start working."
When Meng Chuyuan was putting on her gloves, the camera swept across her hand, and the large diamond ring just happened to receive the sunlight, flashing a dazzling white light. The audience in the live broadcast room was extremely excited, and the number of viewers was soaring:
[Is this a classic reappearance? Hahahaha]
[Sister Meng: I’m familiar with picking up trash]
[I now seriously suspect that this episode's trash collection activity was deliberately arranged by the director]
I didn’t expect to see Sister Meng picking up trash for the second time, but this time she had all the necessary tools and gloves on.
