This simple yet insane game lasted until 6:30 p.m.
Before the game started, the team members in each group were all friendly and affectionate, but after the game was over, everyone was basically furious.
The group stood there, each unwilling to speak to the other for the time being.
The assistant director stood at the front with his phone, ready to announce the results of the game. But before he could speak, he looked down and saw that all seven guests looked furious, and no one seemed to care about the outcome of the task.
"Are you... all right?" the assistant director asked cautiously, grinning.
"..." Upon hearing this, the seven guests looked up, all staring at him with expressions of utter despair, and then posed the crucial question, "What do you think?"
"..." The assistant director scratched his head guiltily, not daring to speak.
[Hahahaha! Bald Old Deng: Sorry, I was wrong, but I'll do it again next time.]
[Old Deng, are you sure this show can still be called "Make Friends"? How about we just change the name to "Let's All Go Crazy Together"?]
[Haha, "Old Deng is silent, just scratching his head."]
[Now look what's happened! All seven guests have been offended by the production team, and those fans will never dare to say that their idols are being targeted again.]
[Targeting? Our "Make Friends" program team has always targeted everyone, okay!]
"Ahem!" The assistant director cleared his throat, glanced at the expressions of the guests, and seeing that they seemed to be able to withstand another heavy blow, announced the results of the "Guess the Lyrics" game.
"Well, because everyone spent too much time on this round of the game, the scores of each group were not very high. The difference between them was very small, and no one was better than anyone else."
"However, because there were still some slight differences in the scores of each group, the production team still determined a ranking."
"The first place winner is Su Ying and Mingyue's group, the second place winner is Shi Jing and Jinzhao, and the third place winner is unsurprisingly Li Weiwan, Fang Lei and Ning Shi."
"……oh."
The seven guests reacted indifferently, as if the assistant director had just let out a fart.
"..." The assistant director was embarrassed and continued to announce the final results of today's mission.
"All three games have been completed, and everyone has successfully finished today's tasks. The production team has scored each group based on their overall performance in the three games to determine the final rankings for today's tasks."
"The first place still belongs to Shi Jing, Jin Zhao, and Xiao Li, with a total score of 9.4 points. The second place is Su Ying, Ming Yue, and Xiao Chen, with a score of 8.9 points. The third place is still our Li Weiwan, Fang Lei, and Ning Shi, with a total score of 8.4 points."
"……oh."
The seven people still looked half-dead.
"..." The assistant director felt guilty and wanted to run away.
[Hahahaha! We're doomed, these seven people are really hurt.]
[All guests: What kind of trading game is this, with its password? They might as well go outside and dig and weed.]
At this point, the game rankings didn't matter anymore; all they wanted was to throw a slipper at the assistant director's bald head.
[Hahaha, assistant director: I really want to be busy with something, or they'll assassinate me!]
[Huh? Didn't the director just give the assistant director a thumbs up? Why isn't he stepping in to help his buddy in trouble?]
Assistant Director: "Well, dinner will be ready soon. Everyone, please go back to your rooms and rest for a bit while we wait for the villa manager's dinner announcement, okay?"
"……oh."
Several people, like machines, repeated the same word with blank expressions.
"Hey..." The assistant director nervously wiped the sweat from his forehead and waved his hand, saying, "Then, then everyone can leave."
"……oh."
The group threw out the word again, then scattered and went home.
"Every morning."
After the door closed, Shi Jing immediately patted Zhu Jinzhao on the shoulder.
"Huh?" Zhu Jinzhao turned around blankly, looking at him with confusion. "What's wrong?"
He lowered his eyes, a gentle smile in them: "The game is over. Let's not bring the unpleasantness from the game into real life, okay?"
"Mm." Zhu Jinzhao nodded. "Okay."
Shi Jing raised his hand and patted her head: "Now we're good friends again."
Zhu Jinchao smiled, her eyes crinkling: "It always has been."
"Go take a shower, then we'll have dinner." Shi Jing withdrew her hand, took two steps back, and left Zhu Jinzhao's room.
Zhu Jinzhao waved to him: "See you in a bit."
Shi Jing: "See you in a bit."
The rain continued to fall relentlessly, for a full day and night without any sign of stopping. In fact, as darkness approached, the rain seemed to intensify.
After taking a shower, Zhu Jinzhao glanced at her phone and, seeing that the villa manager hadn't yet notified her to come downstairs for dinner, went back to the bathroom to dry her hair.
Her hair is quite long, and she has to use a hairdryer to dry the roots after each wash, otherwise it will stay wet for a long time.
"Waaah—"
The noise from the hairdryer filled the entire bathroom. Zhu Jinzhao was fiddling with her hair and lost in thought, completely unaware that someone was knocking on her bedroom door.
She calmly finished drying her hair, came out of the bathroom and glanced at her phone, only to find that the villa's housekeeper had called her twice and sent her a WeChat message.
—The production team needs to contact you today. Would it be convenient for you to open the room door?
"Hmm?" Looking at this WeChat message, Zhu Jinzhao suddenly felt that something was wrong.
The production team usually only sends announcements in WeChat groups when there are things to notify, and they basically don't contact guests privately. Why did they suddenly change the notification method tonight?
"Knock knock knock—"
"now?"
Just as I was wondering, there was an unexpected knock on the door.
Zhu Jinzhao recognized the voice and knew it belonged to an assistant to the assistant director, so she immediately put down her phone and went to open the door.
Outside the door, a young girl and a boy in his early twenties stood one behind the other. When they saw Zhu Jinzhao open the door, they both smiled at the same time.
"Is it convenient for us to go in today?" the petite girl asked politely.
Although Zhu Jinzhao didn't know what they wanted to do, she still stepped aside to make way for them.
"Sure, come in."
"Thank you." The two said their thanks in unison, then walked into the room, close to the door.
Zhu Jinzhao looked at them with a puzzled expression: "Is there something you need to announce?"
The petite girl shook her head: "We're not here to announce anything, we're here to discuss something with you."
"...Discuss it with me?" Zhu Jinzhao was a little confused.
The girl hummed in agreement, then began to introduce herself: "Today, I'm an assistant in the production team. You can call me Ameng. This is my colleague, Tang Jie. We're here on the instructions of the production team to ask for your help with the publicity..."
Don't agree to their terms!
