[Gossip Girl started by stealing watermelons and snacks, and now she's going all out with a big heist—stealing an interview vehicle! Her robbery business is really booming!]
[This gossip girl gives me the feeling of a superior sister-in-law, Director Chen, what's going on here?]
[Director Chen's high-sounding explanation is brilliant! If it weren't for the fact that overloading is illegal, would the production team have changed the guests' cars?]
[I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of car the production team will get for the five chaebols; they've definitely turned a misfortune into a blessing in disguise.]
Upon hearing that the production team had provided them with a new car, the seven guests all got up from their seats and walked out into the courtyard.
When Jiang Hexi saw the brand-new Wuling minivan in the yard, she looked at Director Chen in disbelief:
"Director, are you sure this is for us?"
Chu Yang was certain the production team wouldn't be so kind, so he looked around and said:
"Where did you hide the other broken-down car?"
Director Chen, quite speechless, said to the Crouching Dragon and the Phoenix Chick, "This is the new car we've provided for you."
Shen Yingyu didn't believe the production team would be so kind. "Director Chen, tell me, how much is the monthly rental fee for this car? So that I, as the person in charge of finances, will have a better understanding."
Director Chen: "The daily rental fee is two hundred."
Yan Jie walked around the car and came back, scoffing coldly, "This passenger and cargo vehicle, the Akina Mountain God, is covered in sheet metal paint, has power steering, four-door drive, and at most has a 1.2-liter engine. Its market price is no more than 60,000 yuan."
Shen Yingyu immediately turned hostile, "Director Chen, the daily rental is two hundred. In less than a year, you'll have recouped the cost of this car. Isn't this blatant robbery?"
"You don't have to rent it," Director Chen dismissed him with a single sentence.
Shen Yingyu turned his head and looked at Chai Fei without making a sound, and the other guests present also looked over.
With such high expectations placed upon him, Chai Fei had no choice but to step forward and quell the matter.
"Alright, for my sake, let's both sides compromise. The monthly rent is two hundred, and the five chaebols will pay for the car."
Jiang Hexi snorted smugly, "That's more like it."
Chu Yang urged from the side, "Brother, get the money. We've booked this legendary Akina Mountain car."
Shen Yingyu took out two RMB bills from his wallet, shook them, and handed them to Director Chen across from him.
Director Chen coldly observed the two hundred-yuan bills meant to appease the beggar:
"Who are you getting money from? Did I agree to you doing this?"
"Alright, take the money and let's settle this. That's it."
Chai Fei stuffed two hundred yuan into Director Chen's hand, but he insisted on not taking it. So she rolled up the money and stuffed it into his pocket.
The staff all stood cautiously to the side, not daring to utter a sound.
Director Chen looked up at Chai Fei, his eyes surging with turmoil, and he cursed without restraint:
"Chai Fei, what does this have to do with you? What gives you the right to make decisions?"
"You owe me, and this is how you repay it."
Chai Fei, recognizing her true identity as a debt collector, firmly grasped his position and said:
“Chen Lang, when we were preparing this show, you said the production team was short of funds and asked me to give you a discount. You know very well how much I lowered my price to participate in this show.”
She said domineeringly and forcefully, "I only want this measly concession of a few thousand yuan, will you give it to me or not?"
Director Chen was so angry he wanted to kill someone.
But when he thought about how she had readily agreed to his request during his most difficult time, willing to participate in the recording of this variety show without any payment, he couldn't stay angry at all.
He pulled the two hundred-yuan bills from his pocket, smoothed out the wrinkles, and tossed them in front of the accountant.
"Two hundred per month, booked."
[A monthly rent of two hundred! This bargaining went straight to Director Chen's lifeline, bleeding him dry—it's so exciting!]
[This is the first time I've ever seen someone bargain, not by the amount, but by the month! My sister-in-law is awesome!]
[Director Chen tried to rob someone but ended up being robbed himself, and to make matters worse, his own wife was the one leading the robbery. He's so pitiful.]
[What kind of villainous boss dotes on his beautiful wife in this plot?! It's so sweet, I love it! This jackal-wolf couple is a must-have!]
Yu Xiangwan always managed to steer the conversation towards Xie Wanyi in different situations and places. She asked curiously:
"Actor Xie, did you lower your status by participating in this farming reality show?"
Xie Wanyi: "What?"
Yu Xiangwan raised her chin forward and said meaningfully:
"If there is any, you should talk to the assistant director and try to get some benefits for everyone. We're already broke, so we should try to squeeze out whatever we can."
Xie Wanyi's gaze suddenly became complicated as she looked at her. "What if I say no?"
Yu Xiangwan had no right to say anything to him; she simply remarked, "You must earn a lot."
Xie Wan, whose filming PD wasn't around, covered the microphone and said in a low voice, "I have no choice, I need to save up for my wife."
She gave a sneer, "Your wife is certainly exceptionally expensive."
"Noble in the sense of being noble, so I am not yet worthy of her."
He looked intently into those cold eyes, “But I will use all my strength to climb up until I reach her.”
Suppressing the turmoil in her heart, she said, "Then I wish you never succeed."
The atmosphere between the two froze at that moment.
"Wanwan, this farming reality show will be filmed until the end of the month, and then I'll have to go back to work."
Xie Wanyi broke the silence, saying, "What I said to you will always stand by me."
As if to refute her statement, he also used the word "forever".
Feeling agitated, Yu Xiangwan walked to the new car, opened the door, and got in.
Xie Wanyi followed closely behind and walked back. Chu Yang then asked:
"Brother, you and Sister Yu were whispering to each other over there. The cameraman tried to follow you and film you several times, but Brother Yan stopped him."
"Wanwan asked me if participating in this variety show lowered my status."
Xie Wanyi looked through the car window at Yu Xiangwan, who was resting with her eyes closed in the seat, and casually made a conversation.
"Brother, how much did you lower your price?"
“No discount,” Xie Wanyi said frankly. “Director Chen and I are not close enough to get a discount.”
The group was about to head to the city to buy fertilizer.
Jiang Hexi, holding onto the car door, had just leaned halfway inside when Yan Jie pulled her out of the car.
What are you going in for?
"I want to sit next to Wanwan."
Yan Jie rebuked her, saying, "Is that seat next to Yu Xiangwan a place you can sit in?"
Jiang Hexi clung tightly to the car door, saying, "Why not? Wanwan and I are so comfortable together on this journey."
"That seat has been taken."
Yan Jie opened the passenger door and invited her to get in, saying, "This is your seat, come and sit down."
Jiang Hexi stood there, determined not to get on the bus.
Yan Jie convinced her with one sentence: "Actor Xie is leaving at the end of the month, and he doesn't have much time left."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Hexi reluctantly got into the passenger seat.
