[This woman, who always seems to have her own background music and special effects when she enters, is finally back!]
[The wind whistles and blows, autumn flows, my clothes are printed, haha, the waves are gray, I listen to the eight watches of the night, the teeth gather hastily, I have to prepare for the monks of Bagang, give me the melons, the flat watch is overturned...]
[The person upstairs is so talented! This song perfectly matches Xi Mei's retro Hong Kong-style short hair. @Program team, I've already found the music for you. Remember to add it to Xi Mei in post-production.]
Am I the only one who finds it particularly funny when Xi Mei walks with her short, curly hair swaying all the way?
[Xi Mei knows how to make a grand entrance; last time it was a helicopter pick-up, this time it's a dazzling, leading lady making a grand entrance!]
After Jiang Hexi had the driver and Jiang Wenjing put down their luggage, she sent them away.
Looking at the quaint stone house, she exclaimed, "The production team must be rich to be able to afford to rent such a two-story building."
Shen Yingyu: "The wool comes from the sheep's back; in the end, we're the ones who pay for it."
Jiang Hexi suddenly asked him, "Have you calculated how much money we lost after the flood?"
“I have handled countless accounts, but this is the one I dare not calculate.”
"That settles it."
Jiang Hexi, having "corrected" her mindset, said, "I'm completely laid down now. I don't care about the hundreds of thousands I owe in the accounts. I just need to eat well, drink well, and sleep well. The production team can worry about the money. Anyway, if they dare to lend it, I dare not to pay it back."
The four people around him nodded in agreement.
Director Chen: "..."
The assistant director chimed in, adding fuel to the fire, "They're drowning in debt; they have no money left in their accounts."
Director Chen said angrily, "You don't have the money to rent such a nice house for them?"
The assistant director explained in a low voice, "But the production team has money. As soon as the finance department allocated funds, they easily rented this two-story stone house with a yard for them."
Director Chen can't delve too deeply into this, or he'll be driven mad by his subordinates sooner or later.
Everyone was waiting in the courtyard for Yan Jie's arrival.
Yu Xiangwan played with Jiang Hexi's curly hair and said enviously, "Your hair is really well done."
"Wanwan, I knew you would like it."
Jiang Hexi opened her suitcase and took out a tool kit, which contained gloves, a comb, a curling iron, and chemical perming products, among other supplies.
"The master stylist agreed to provide me with remote guidance. Whatever hairstyle you want, I can do it for you."
"No, no, no, Xi-mei, you're too kind. I may envy you, but I really wouldn't dare let you practice on me," Yu Xiangwan quickly waved her hand, refusing her.
Jiang Hexi then looked at Chu Yang, Shen Yingyu, and Zhou Gongqi. The three of them collectively stepped back, automatically increasing the distance between themselves and her.
“You don’t appreciate my skills. Even if you beg me, I won’t cut your hair.”
Chu Yang asked, puzzled, "Sister, are you really going to set up a haircutting stall?"
"Strictly speaking, it's about earning money through your skills."
Jiang Hexi revealed her plan: "We're out of money now. After work, I'll cut hair for the elderly and give curls to the middle-aged women. That way, I can earn some money for groceries and make a living."
Yu Xiangwan couldn't help but complain, "With your self-taught hairdressing skills, are you sure you'll have any customers?"
Jiang Hexi stood in front of her and said in an imposing manner:
"With my retro short hair, if I stand in the village, so many aunties will surround me and ask me where I got my hair cut. As long as I say that my master cut it, I don't have to worry about no one coming to me for a haircut."
After she finished explaining her marketing plan, the courtyard fell silent.
Jiang Hexi saw them all looking towards the courtyard gate. Without turning around, she saw Yan Jie, dressed in all black, getting out of the SUV.
He got a buzz cut with a slanted slit in his hair, and his deep-set eyes stared gloomily at the live stream camera, turning the comment section into a massive frenzy among his fans.
[Ahhhhh, this guy is so handsome! A buzz cut is definitely the only true test of a handsome man!]
[Yan Wang's masculine aura was off the charts, especially his brooding eyes; one glance was enough to captivate me completely.]
[Random fans, please speak rationally. Fans who only care about looks, please don't argue. The King of Looks' sudden buzz cut, coupled with that gloomy gaze, makes him look like a pitiful soul who's been dumped after a heartbreak.]
[Fans, flood the comments section and bury the comments above. Who is this person, spouting nonsense without thinking?]
Shen Yingyu's gaze shifted ambiguously between the two of them:
"Did you two plan this beforehand and get your hair cut short together?"
"How could that be?"
Jiang Hexi looked at Yan Jie's expressionless face and knew he was still angry with her, so she said something kind:
"How could I possibly let Yan Wang cut his hair short and steal my thunder?"
Yan Jie gave her a cool look and said nothing.
Seeing that all six guests had arrived, Director Chen adjusted the microphone volume and said:
"Welcome to Canglang Village, everyone, to continue filming the farming variety show. On behalf of the entire production team, I sincerely thank you all for coming."
"Following the tradition of farming-themed variety shows, we will next record a VCR interview video for broadcast when the show airs on satellite TV. Please have Jiang Hexi follow the staff to the recording venue for the interview."
Guided by the staff, Jiang Hexi entered a small, dark room.
She sat on a high stool illuminated by the lights, looked at the row of key members of the production team seated in front of her, and straightened her posture as she spoke:
Is this an interrogation room?
"No," the creators replied with a smile.
"Then why did you turn the lights so dim? It looks like you're interrogating a criminal."
Jiang Hexi usurped the initiative, saying, "It's starting now. Do you have anything else to say?"
The three key members of the production team, who were being interrogated without their knowledge, exchanged glances, cleared their throats, and said:
"Some netizens commented that you and Yan Jie both cut your hair short at the same time, and this style is your couple profile picture. What do you think about this?"
"Stop."
Jiang Hexi braced herself, her face wary, and said:
"My classic and timeless Hong Kong-style retro short haircut is fashionable wherever I go. As for Yan Wang's buzz cut, to put it bluntly, it looks like it was released from somewhere. Don't compare me to him."
The production team then asked, "The Yan-Xi CP is getting more and more popular, do you like Yan Jie?"
Jiang Hexi knew they would relentlessly pursue this issue.
She faced the camera with composure and smiled brightly:
“I love Yan Jie and I can give up everything for him, so Director Chen doesn’t need to choose between the two. He just carried me down and I won’t have to farm anymore. I thank him from the bottom of my heart.”
The production team couldn't listen anymore. "One last question: What are your profound experiences with farming in the countryside?"
Jiang Hexi composed himself and said seriously:
"I never thought farming would be such a difficult thing. I'll do my best and leave the rest to fate."
The three main creators showed the checkmarks on the whiteboard.
Jiang Hexi breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that she had passed the interview and left the small dark room with the staff.
