After they had been busy for a while, it was lunchtime. The staff came to inform them that it was lunchtime and they could take the fruits of their labor from the morning to exchange for food.
Leng Mo went upstairs and called Qian Shasha and Jing Feng up. Together they went to Director Li's team to exchange for food. After they arrived, the other groups had already gone. Because Lu Ziwei's team members withdrew at the last minute, Lu Ziwei only received the same boxed lunch as the staff.
Leng Mo took one look at their boxed lunches and immediately protested, shouting, "Director Li, what's going on? Everyone else gets a boxed lunch even if they don't work, but we get only vegetables for doing the work? They get stewed goose in an iron pot? This isn't fair!"
"Director Li, what you did was really unfair. We worked ourselves to the bone and only got some vegetables in return. Where's the meat? We didn't even see a single piece! Honestly, you're so stingy! Humph!" Wang Feifei put down the vegetables she had exchanged, put her hands on her hips, and glared angrily at Director Li.
"Alright, you two, stop arguing. There's a stewed goose in the iron pot for you. I originally said I'd give you the goose meat after you got the vegetables, but since you said I was stingy..." Leng Mo and Wang Feifei exchanged a glance, immediately realizing that Director Li's next words would greatly disappoint them. They quickly stepped forward, their attitude completely changing, and said with a grin, "Oh, Director Li is so generous! Knowing we were tired, he even stewed the goose for us. He's so thoughtful!" "Director Li, since you're so kind, you'll definitely give us extra meat. Thank you in advance, hehe!"
"That's more like it. I'm always the most generous director. Go ahead, each group can get their vegetables and then go find the staff to collect their own stewed goose!" Director Li waved to them, deciding to ignore their stares.
As Leng Mo turned to leave, a thought pounded in his mind: "Generous my foot! You're the stingiest one around! Zhou the Skinflint is gone, but you've become Li the Skinflint! This is really enough!"
Hearing Leng Mo's thoughts, everyone knew things were going badly. They also knew that Director Li and the assistant director could hear Leng Mo's thoughts. Fearing that Director Li would turn on them, they grabbed Leng Mo and ran away as fast as they could. Leng Mo was flanked by Qian Shasha and Wang Feifei, who each held his arm and walked quickly forward. Leng Mo suddenly felt like a pig being carried to slaughter. He also sensed their hurried footsteps, so he looked at the two of them and asked in confusion, "Hey, slow down, slow down, why are you walking so fast? There's no ghost chasing us!"
The two women exchanged a glance, then pursed their lips in exasperation. Qian Shasha pondered for a moment and said, "Hey, let's hurry up! Once we get the goose, we can eat something to tide us over. We're starving!"
"Oh right, now that you mention it, I feel hungry too. Let's hurry up and get something to eat!" Without the two of them pulling Leng Mo along, he rushed towards the kitchen of the Sunshine Village brigade. The two men breathed a sigh of relief, finally managing to get away with it.
On the screen...
[Holy crap, how come it's just Lu Ziwei here? Where's that guy named Mu Er? Did he get into trouble? Was he arrested?]
[Yeah, Wei Mu'er only hit the goose a few times, right? Did she kill it? And then get kicked off the show?]
[I work here. Is the person upstairs a fortune teller? How can they be so accurate?]
