On the day of departure, Jiang Hexi directed Jiang Wenjing to carry all the luggage into the trunk.
Jiang Wenjing finally managed to stuff everything inside. He pointed to the three large, tightly wrapped items and said:
What are these three things?
"A farming marvel."
Jiang Wenjing had watched the live stream before and knew that they had to undergo a "security check" before joining the crew, and wondered:
"Are you sure Director Chen will let you bring these three items in?"
"Sure."
Jiang Hexi slammed the trunk shut. "Otherwise, why would I have brought all this stuff all the way here just to amuse Director Chen? Or am I stupid?"
Jiang Wenjing silently followed her into the car.
The Bentley departed from the villa on the outskirts of Beijing and arrived at Canglang Village at 5 p.m.
When Jiang Hexi got out of the car, staff were conducting security checks on the other guests.
Director Chen saw that the baskets in front of the five people were empty, and they all knew the current points situation. They all became obedient.
Just as he was feeling smug, he turned around and saw Jiang Hexi pushing a suitcase forward, followed by two men, each carrying three large unidentified items.
[Xi Mei is here, and she's carrying three big items!]
[The points-for-gifts segment has always been Xi Mei's forte. Director Chen, you'd better catch Xi Mei's ultimate move!]
[Last time it was sneaky and clandestine, this time it's openly and brazenly confronting them. They started fighting right from the start; Xi Mei's entrance was like a protagonist's aura.]
As usual, Director Chen gave an opening speech:
"Welcome back to the farming variety show, everyone. Now let's announce your current scores."
"Jiang Hexi has zero points, Chu Yang has negative five thousand points, Yu Xiangwan has negative one thousand points, Yan Jie has negative six thousand points, Shen Yingyu has negative one thousand points, and Xie Wanyi has zero points."
"The production team has readjusted the competition rules. The current point redemption formula is 10 points = 1 yuan item. Please redeem items according to your own situation and enter the venue."
Jiang Hexi pointed to the wooden building and instructed, "Second Brother, please carry these three large items into the living room and put them there."
Director Chen spoke up and shouted, "Don't you know how many points you have?"
Zero points.
Jiang Hexi picked up the paper cutter from the table, unpacked the package, and took out a military shovel from the thick cardboard box. She enthusiastically demonstrated its use to the guests around her.
"This is not a simple military shovel. It has a German-imported stainless steel shovel head that can be used as a pot for stir-frying and stewing when working in the field. The double gears on the side can also be used to shred potatoes. The head can be adjusted at multiple angles and can be used as a shovel, hoe, or hook."
She removed several small parts from the handle and continued, "The handle also contains a magnesium rod for starting a fire, a multi-functional cutting knife, as well as a compass, a fork, and other tools, which I won't go into detail about."
Yan Jie and Shen Yingyu tried it out and agreed that it was a practical and useful item.
Director Chen angrily interrupted, "Jiang Hexi, you have zero points, what are you going to use to redeem them?"
"This is a free gift."
Jiang Hexi smiled and said, "Director Chen, this is a free gift from the official Ale'teryx mountaineering apparel that I bought online. You can check it online if you don't believe me; as long as you buy their set, you can also have the same military-style shovel."
Director Chen gave the assistant director a wink, and the assistant director took out his phone, quickly found the same military shovel online, and showed him the details page.
He saw the long string of zeros after the price tag on the suit, and poverty silenced him; he didn't say a word.
Chu Yang's surprise was palpable. "This actually works? Sis, you're amazing!"
Jiang Hexi pointed to another cardboard box, and Chu Yang excitedly carried it over. The two of them squatted down and began to unpack the box.
Yan Jie toyed with the military-grade knife and said, "Fortunately, Xi-mei paid off the debt with goods and cleared all the points."
Shen Yingyu: "Otherwise, with her total points of negative three thousand, she couldn't redeem anything even after dividing by ten. Now that her points are zero, everything is much easier."
Yu Xiangwan suddenly remembered, "Isn't there someone here with zero points?"
The three of them turned to look at Xie Wanyi.
Xie Wanyi's IQ seemed to have sunk to the ground, impossible to recover from. "Sorry, I didn't expect that."
Yan Jie comforted him, saying, "It's alright, not everyone is as smart as Xi Mei."
Xie Wanyi felt like she had been hit with a critical strike, but even greater damage was yet to come.
Jiang Hexi and Chu Yang worked together to disassemble an outdoor sun umbrella.
She asked the five guests to stand together, and the moment she opened the folding parasol, a cool breeze rushed down from above, leaving the five guests speechless with praise.
"This robotic arm folding sun umbrella is protected by eight layers of black glue, providing sun protection, wind protection, and rain protection. It is also equipped with a detachable ceiling fan under the umbrella, secured with a lock. When connected to the charger, it provides stable airflow for twelve hours. From now on, when we sit on the back of the tricycle, we no longer have to worry about being exposed to the sun."
Director Chen immediately recognized the sun umbrella as a product from Taobao and knew it couldn't possibly be a free gift.
"Jiang Hexi, what will you offer in exchange for this parasol?"
Buy one get one free.
"The prerequisite for buying one and getting one free is that you have to spend money first. If you have zero points, you don't have money to redeem it."
"So I left the first paid parasol at home, and now I have the second one that was given away for free."
Jiang Hexi followed the procedure, saying, "Second Brother, take the electronic shopping receipt to the finance department for verification. Otherwise, this matter will be unclear, and we'll end up arguing endlessly about it."
After listening to her, Jiang Wenjing took her phone and went to the finance department to reconcile the accounts.
Director Chen's intelligence was completely outmatched, and he dared not speak for a moment, fearing that he would only make things more foolish.
Without waiting for instructions, Chu Yang quickly brought over the last cardboard box. "Sister, what's this again?"
"This is a prototype of a folding helmet that a technology company sent to my brother's investment department."
Jiang Hexi emphasized, "I took it because it was a free trial."
She took out six black and white grid folding helmets and windproof masks, giving one to each person:
"By rotating the button on the side, you can stand the helmet up. The size is adjustable. Try it on. With this mask, your eyes won't be irritated when fertilizing or spraying pesticides."
Xie Wanyi asked, "Is this helmet safe and reliable?"
Yu Xiangwan immediately expressed her dissatisfaction to him, "Xi Mei's selections are all top-notch, what kind of question is that?"
"Wanwan, you can't say that to Actor Xie."
Jiang Hexi scolded her playfully, "We rely on our strength to speak for itself."
She asked Chu Yang to find a hammer, and in front of the live broadcast camera, she struck the helmet three times with a heavy hammer, leaving it standing there intact.
The five guests in front of the camera, the staff behind the scenes, and all the netizens watching in the live broadcast room all fell silent.
