The group complained about the director as they worked, but thankfully they were rewarded for their work. The director decided to cover their dinner and pay them.
The director, who was watching the monitor, received a phone call. As soon as he finished the call, he immediately stood up from his seat.
He was holding his phone, listening to a call from a senior executive at his company.
"President Qin has already arrived at your filming location. Please make sure to treat him well. This is a great opportunity to secure investment from the Qin Group. Haven't you always wanted to direct a film? This is your chance."
The director was stunned. He asked which President Qin it was, and the other person replied, "President Qin of the Qin Group."
After hanging up the phone, the director quickly got up to find someone. He didn't even have time to ask why President Qin of the Qin Group was here; he was just nervous enough knowing that his future major investor was on his way.
Qin Yan was still wearing a suit and hadn't had time to change when the director saw him as soon as he came out and quickly went to greet him.
"Hello, Mr. Qin."
Qin Yan nodded to the director; Shi Zhan's secretary had already replied to Assistant Wen. This program was produced by Shi Zhan's entertainment company.
Qin Yan looked at the courtyard; the greenery was blooming nicely, but that was its only advantage.
The wooden house looked very old, and the roof tiles seemed a bit unstable. The window was half-supported, and it creaked when lowered.
And what can that wooden door possibly block?
The thought of Yun Nuan living in this environment filled him with both anger and anxiety. He turned to look at the director.
Where are they?
The director pointed to the foot of the mountain not far away, "They're filming right now, Mr. Qin, would you like to go take a look?"
Qin Yan rubbed his temples. He realized he'd only had less than four hours of rest before rushing here. He didn't even know how to broach the subject with Yun Nuan later—whether to scold her for drinking cola and spicy snacks, go plant trees and dig in the soil, or mention that he'd come to participate in a variety show.
He racked his brains but still couldn't find a breakthrough, and he didn't even realize that he had been lowering his demands on Yun Nuan more and more.
After following the director to the foot of the mountain, everyone was exhausted and panting.
Everyone's clothes, faces, and shoes were covered in wet mud. Yun Nuan's shoes were so muddy that she had to lift her feet to keep going.
The director, seeing that everyone's planting results were quite good, then happily explained to Qin Yan...
"This variety show is about getting closer to real life. Look, these trees will blossom and bear fruit in the future, bringing economic benefits to the people here."
We absolutely did not set these up intentionally.
The villagers are supportive of us, so after discussing it with them, we decided to use the land to plant peach trees. What do you think, Mr. Qin?
Yun Nuan was having a great time. Her job wasn't complicated: placing trees and watering them. The boys did the digging, and she followed behind, carrying a watering can and watering each tree one by one.
Qin Yan couldn't say whether it was good or bad, but the director called a halt to the proceedings.
It's getting late, so I'll stop here for today.
The director shouted to the crowd in the field.
"Today's task is complete, everyone can go home now!"
Exhausted, Ke Yuan collapsed to the ground, wiping the sweat from his face and panting heavily.
"Finally finished, I'm exhausted."
Beside him were Hu Kaiwei and Zhang Yue, who also sat down on the ground. Their hands were so tired they could barely lift them; heaven knows how many holes they had dug.
Jiang Miao pulled Yun Nuan outside, the two supporting each other, both wearing heavy shoes.
"I was wrong. I thought this variety show was just for fun. I didn't expect it to be a work event. If Boss Qin finds out I brought you here to work, I'm dead!"
She looked at Yun Nuan, who was already covered in dirt, and muttered to herself.
Yun Nuan raised her hand to wipe her face, but there was more and more dirt. Jiang Miao wanted to stop it, but she didn't know where to start.
She looked up in the director's direction, disbelief flashing in her eyes, and stopped in her tracks.
"Nuan Nuan, do you think I'm too scared and hallucinating? Why did I see Boss Qin?"
Yun Nuan followed her gaze and replied affirmatively.
"You're not mistaken, that's Qin Yan. Those fiery eyes of his are unmistakable!"
Jiang Miao tilted her head. "Huh? Aren't you nervous? Boss Qin is here to settle accounts!"
Yun Nuan continued walking slowly, her tone wistful.
"I can't avoid big things, but I don't want to avoid small things. I was wondering why someone told me not to drink cola and eat spicy snacks today. Turns out Qin Yan is back. It's okay, I'll coax him later."
Yun Nuan knew that Qin Yan definitely couldn't be on camera; he never liked being in the public eye. Some summits were attended by Assistant Wen or other people from the secretariat.
She moved and moved until she finally got closer to the edge of the field. In the end, she was so tired that she wanted to sit down and rest for a while.
Ke Yuan and the others were still resting in the field, and she wanted to sit down too.
Qin Yan said to the director beside him, "The camera is filming other people, sorry!"
He then strode into the field and stood in front of Yun Nuan. Yun Nuan looked at Qin Yan happily and spoke.
"You're back from your business trip! I missed you so much!"
She reached out to hug him, but when she looked down and saw how dirty she was, she withdrew her hand and chuckled.
"I'll hug you later, I'm a little dirty."
Jiang Miao only dared to give a soft greeting before quickly going to find Sister Quan Hong to keep her company; she dared not linger in front of Boss Qin now.
The director assumed that Qin Yan was here because he knew Quan Hong and Liu Tong, but to everyone's surprise, he walked straight up to Yun Nuan and hugged her as she pulled her hand away.
Qin Yan was both angry and unsure how to begin, so she simply uttered a soft sentence.
"I'll settle the score with you when we get home!" Yun Nuan was a little nervous after hearing his words. What did he mean by settling the score when they got home?
However, being held tightly in someone's arms, and with Qin Yan providing support for her to rest, she quickly clung to him and said coquettishly.
"I'm already so tired, so please don't criticize me. I'm so tired."
Qin Yan took the tool from her hand and weighed it in his hand. It wasn't light, and it was covered in mud.
"You brought this on yourself, and now you've even learned to act first and ask questions later. Yun Nuan, are you trying to drive me crazy?"
Yun Nuan became even more nervous. Qin Yan had called her by her full name, which made him seem like a terrifying figure.
"Stop yelling, stop yelling, let's go home and settle this later." She glanced around behind her, noticing everyone's attention was on them, including the director.
The director finally realized something: Yun Nuan was actually related to President Qin of the Qin Group, and judging from their current intimacy, their relationship might be even deeper than he had imagined.
He quickly tried to recall if he had ever offended Yun Nuan, because if President Qin blamed him later, his investment would be ruined.
