"Hold on! You misunderstood. I'm filming a variety show. I don't have any feelings towards you..."
It was too late for Zhong Tianba to explain, all that was left was the beeping sound of the phone being hung up.
He knew it was over.
His brothers are all big mouths and don't watch variety shows. It won't be long before this matter becomes known to everyone and his reputation will be ruined.
"Zhong Tianba's team's mission points are increased by zero." Director Ma announced the result on the side.
Zhong Tianba: "Thank you." If you didn't get the points, then you didn't get them. What's the point of saying that specifically?
Director Ma accepted the offer with a smile and said, "Okay, next group."
The staff member carried the box and walked towards Xu Miaomiao's group next to them.
Shen Huai casually pulled out a card and opened it: Please call someone randomly and tell her that you won one million.
The winner is the one whose reaction is linked to happiness.
"Xu Miaomiao, you call." Shen Huai didn't want to make such a boring call to his parents.
"Okay." Xu Miaomiao reached out to take the note, feeling a little nervous. She had always known that her family's conditions were not good, so she would go out to work to supplement the family income while she was in school.
As for how her parents would react when they found out she had won a million, she thought they would probably be happy for her.
Xu Miaomiao quickly picked up the phone and dialed the number. The call rang for a long time before it was connected.
"Hey, Miaomiao, why are you calling me at this time? Aren't you filming for a variety show? Did you have a conflict with someone?"
The middle-aged woman's voice was immediately followed by a male voice, "Miao Miao, you can't act on impulse. Apologize quickly. This variety show pays so much. You have to shoot it to the end, understand?"
"I got along well with everyone on the variety show. Nothing much happened, except... I won a million."
Xu Miaomiao's palms were sweating as she held the phone. As long as her parents showed that it was related to Gao Xing, they could get a point.
"What!? One million? The production team didn't trick you, did they? Is there some kind of fraud going on here?"
"How could such a big production crew possibly be cheating? Our Miaomiao is incredible, she actually won so much money. Did you transfer it to your card? Hurry up and transfer it back to buy a house for your family. Your brother is already grown up, and when it comes to dating, everyone dislikes you because you don't have a house or a car."
The voices one after another were full of excitement, and they had even arranged the money.
Xu Miaomiao lowered her eyes. She was used to her parents putting her brother first. "Mom and Dad, I didn't win. I was just completing a task for the program. Thank you..."
"No? Then why did you play such a joke on me? You made me so happy for nothing. It's useless to raise you up!"
The gruff male voice was filled with anger, and he hung up the phone right after he finished speaking.
Xu Miaomiao held the phone, looked at the ended call page, turned around and looked at everyone with an awkward smile.
The call was on speakerphone, so everyone could hear their conversation clearly.
I was already feeling suffocated by the first two paragraphs from the Xu family's parents, and I didn't expect their subsequent words to be even more depressing. They truly favor sons over daughters.
[This couple really had a good plan. They gave the winnings back to their brother to buy him a house, a car, and a wife. Disgusting!]
I suddenly understood Xu Miaomiao's cautiousness. She's actually in a pretty miserable situation too.
"Xu Miaomiao's team scored one point." Director Ma looked at her with heartache. She was also a poor child.
Xu Miaomiao forced a smile. She tried to comfort herself that it was okay and that she shouldn't take her parents' words to heart. She just needed to complete the tasks and get points.
"Next group."
The staff member walked towards Su Zhi holding the box, and Su Zhi took out a note and opened it.
Content: Call a random person and ask him if he wants to go sailing today.
If the other party's reply is relevant to your request, it will be considered a pass.
Su Zhi: "..." Something inappropriate started playing in her mind: Goodbye, Mom, I'm going to sail away tonight!
She handed the note to the man next to her, "Gu Qiye, you come and fight."
"Okay." Gu Qiye took the note and did as he was told. He opened his phone address book and called his sister.
As soon as the call was connected, he asked directly without saying a word: "Sister, do you want to sail today?"
"Beep, beep, beep..." The ruthless hang-up sound made everyone present stunned.
Hang up right now? Without saying a word?
"My sister has always been like this. She can't take a joke." Gu Qiye didn't take it seriously. He had even guessed it a long time ago.
His social circle is relatively small. As for his parents, they are busy all day long. Although his sister is heartless, she at least answers the phone.
"Ahem, Miss Gu is really just as the rumors say... Enough of the nonsense. Your team didn't complete the mission and got zero points. Next group."
Director Ma probably knew some information about the Gu family, and he didn't dare say anything bad about this decisive and capable woman.
I’m afraid that my variety show will be “assassinated” one day.
The staff holding the box came to Shen Shiyi and the others.
Xie Yunian was nearby, and he took out a note from the box and opened it: Please call someone randomly and borrow 100 million from her.
If the other party answers that they are willing to lend, you will be considered successful.
Xie Yunian took out his cell phone and opened his address book, but it was empty. He then remembered that he had not saved the number of his only subordinate, whom he had blocked last time because the latter was more of a hindrance than a help.
Everyone also saw his blank address book, and Zhong Tianba was speechless.
"??? Your fucking address book is empty. Did you just burst out of a rock?"
"Sorry, sister, I'm not very popular." Xie Yunian raised his eyelids, and when he looked at Shen Shiyi, his eyes, as bright as glass balls, seemed to be covered with a layer of loneliness.
"Pfft, what do you mean by bad popularity? It's obviously your own bad character. You don't even have your parents' numbers. How unfilial must you be?"
Shen Huai finally caught Xie Yunian's weakness. His words and deeds were hinting to Shen Shiyi: Look at the rubbish partner you chose!
"My parents passed away early." Xie Yunian's expression did not change, but his light words made everyone feel ashamed in an instant.
"You... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my damn mouth." Zhong Tianba raised his hand and patted his mouth. Why did he have to say that dirty word just now?
Shen Huai's face also showed a rare discomfort. Xie Yunian's parents were actually gone?
[Chen Huai and Zhong Tianba's taunting is to the point where they would wake up in the middle of the night and slap themselves, and even when they are buried in their old age, they would get up and slap themselves in the face!]
[+1, you're already blaming yourself. We're just ripping open their wounds and mocking them!]
[He's so handsome, so pitiful. No wonder he was so quiet on variety shows before. Was he afraid of being bullied? Luckily, Shen Shiyi came to protect him.]
Xie Yunian's subordinate, who was squatting in a corner watching the live broadcast, had a strange expression on his face: "?"
There's no need to sympathize with Xie Ye! He's not miserable at all. If he gets mad, he'll ruin the entire program!
