Chapter 014
At twelve o'clock in the evening, the live broadcast of the program team had already ended, but Yan Xi was still struggling "painfully".
Zhou Qingyu fell into a deep sleep after enjoying the massage service on the plane. Yan Xi was still awake and declined the fifth flight attendant who wanted to provide "companionship" service.
Yan Xi: "I don't need a man! I can be alone!"
The system commented enthusiastically: [Host! I think the fifth little brother is the cutest! He has six-pack abs, and he can even wink~]
Yan Xi:?
"You are an artificial idiot, what do you know?"
Not sure whether the sixth or seventh flight attendant would knock on the door, Yan Xi fled the room helplessly after lying in bed for a while.
It was pitch black outside the porthole, with large clouds floating slowly by and bright stars twinkling in the distance.
Before she knew it, Yan Xi had walked to the study.
The door of the study was ajar. Through the gap, Zhou Yanci could be seen sitting at his desk, working overtime. He was nearsighted, 100 degrees, not too far. He usually didn't wear glasses, but when he was working, he would wear a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.
Yan Xi glanced at the time. It was twelve o'clock in the morning China time.
This means that Zhou Yanci has been working for fourteen hours from the time he boarded the plane until now.
With this kind of work intensity, even if it were a sudden death in a plot murder in a novel, it would be very reasonable!
The system appeared quietly, and looked at Zhou Yanci together with Yan Xi: [Host, it turns out you like this type of brother~]
[Oh! The suit is alluring, and the metal-framed glasses are elegant and sleek. The forearms exposed by the rolled-up sleeves are also very strong. They can easily knock you down and make you meow under him...]
Yan Xi:?
Yan Xi looked at the light ball in horror, "What happened to you recently? Are you still a passerby system?"
The little light ball raised its head proudly: [I've been bored lately, so I read a lot of novels from your world~ I learned a lot! ]
Yan Xi: “…”
I always feel like there's something wrong with the book list that the system looks at.
Yan Xi: "Show me your book list."
The system displays a list of books in stock, and each book looks very valuable.
The first one is——"To Save the Villain, I Climbed into His Bed"
Source: a foreign porn website.
Yan Xi: “…”
Children can't watch this kind of stuff!!!
After violently deleting the system's book list, the little light ball burst into tears.
Yan Xi's gaze turned to Zhou Yanci again.
To be honest, Yan Xi and Zhou Yanci were not familiar with each other, and the relationship between Zhou Qingyu and Zhou Yanci was not very good. Yan Xi didn't care whether Zhou Yanci would die suddenly or not.
But Zhou Qingyu really has no business acumen, and the Zhou Group was able to become the richest in Haicheng because of Zhou Yanci's management.
Zhou Yanci is Zhou Qingyu's backer, he cannot die.
——
Yan Xi went to the restaurant, ordered a cup of hot milk, and called Zhou Yanci's assistant.
"I saw Mr. Zhou was still working late at night, so I heated a cup of milk for him. Staying up late to work overtime is not good. You are his assistant, so you should encourage him from time to time."
Yan Xi was sincere, but Special Assistant Sun looked puzzled.
Isn't this girl the best friend of the eldest daughter? Why is she concerned about Mr. Zhou? Is there something wrong with her?
But as the CEO's special assistant, Sun would definitely not say this to Yan Xi in front of her. He just politely took the milk and said, "Ms. Yan, I thank you on behalf of CEO Zhou."
In the study, Zhou Yanci had just finished a multinational meeting. Looking at the milk brought by Special Assistant Sun, the two looked at each other in surprise.
"You said, Yan Xi asked you to give this to me? And she also told me not to stay up late?"
"yes."
Zhou Yanci was silent for a while, "Did she take the wrong medicine?"
Zhou Yanci and Zhou Qingyu don't get along, so Yan Xi naturally never treats Zhou Yanci well. Even if they meet, they won't say hello to each other. It's definitely not a relationship where they can care about each other.
More importantly, Zhou Yanci is lactose intolerant.
The extremely serious kind can cause dehydration even by drinking a sip of milk and require hospitalization with an IV drip.
Assistant Sun thought for a moment, "Boss Zhou, could it be that the eldest daughter has changed her strategy? She knows that she cannot compete with you in business, so she asked her best friend to use a soft policy and poison you with milk!"
Zhou Yanci:?
Although this idea is absurd, it is definitely more reliable than Yan Xi caring about him and asking him not to stay up late.
Zhou Yanci pushed the milk aside and continued working.
——
At 7pm F country time, Yan Xi and Zhou Qingyu arrived at Licheng Airport.
Because Zhou Yanci was also going to Licheng for business, Special Assistant Sun applied for the Haicheng to Licheng route in advance, so it was much more convenient for Yan Xi and Zhou Qingyu to take a private plane.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Yan Xi and Zhou Qingyu arrived at the B&B hotel booked by the program team.
The guests and program staff have been on a plane all day and are very tired. Today's live broadcast will be temporarily ended to allow the guests to rest first. The live broadcast will begin at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning.
Yan Xi and Zhou Qingyu were not tired. They were on a private plane, where they could sleep, watch TV series and take a bath. They did not feel tired at all after a whole day of flying. However, in order to ensure a smooth shoot tomorrow, they did not go out for any activities.
Director Yu informed the two that the next itinerary would be the responsibility of the guests themselves. The guests needed to prepare their own travel itineraries. The program team would occasionally assign tasks to the guests, but would not interfere with the guests' travel progress.
In other words, each group of guests must have their own travel plan, which will be introduced to the audience tomorrow morning.
Yan Xi thought of the poor travel plan that Xu Yangyang made for Zhou Qingyu in the novel and felt that it was not feasible.
She asked Zhou Qingyu, "Should we also come up with a strategy?"
The program team had already informed the guests before signing the contract, and most of the guests had already prepared their travel plans. Zhou Qingyu also knew about this, and she knew that she had passed this matter to Xu Yangyang.
So, facing Yan Xi's question, Zhou Qingyu was stunned for two seconds, then waved his hand, "I promised to take you out to relax, where do I need you to make a strategy? Leave it to me!"
——
At 7:50 the next morning, most of the guests had already arrived in the living room.
Although they went to bed early last night, the boys obviously hadn't adjusted to the jet lag and looked sleepy when facing the camera.
Xiao Yu scolded Jiang Tao, "I told you not to read the script last night, now you are feeling sleepy!"
Jiang Tao is very serious when working, but he is like a child when facing Xiao Yu, "Oh, the script you wrote is so good, I can't help it!"
As for Kang Boye and Qin Li, they simply played games too late last night.
The dining table in the living room was laid out with a variety of breakfast dishes. A middle-aged man in butler's clothes was standing next to the chef, instructing him to place the prepared meals on the table.
The guests smelled the aroma of the food on the table and felt hungry.
But only six of the eight guests had arrived, and Zhou Qingyu and Yan Xi had not come down yet.
Su Lingling was unhappy, "They were the last two to arrive when we took the plane, why are they the last again now? Our schedule has been delayed by them!"
Ye Luoyi didn't criticize Zhou Qingyu openly, but she still hinted, "Maybe Qingyu and Yanxi are tired? But today
This gathering is probably one of the few group activities we have on this trip. If they don’t come, it will be difficult for us to continue with the next activities.”
[Zhou Bitch is always holding us back. It's so unlucky to travel with someone like her! ]
[I hate people who have no sense of time! Everyone has made travel plans, and if you delay, you won’t be able to continue with the rest of the trip! ]
[Don't we meet at 8 o'clock? There are still a few minutes left.]
[Is it polite to come a little early? Zhou Bitch doesn't even have this courtesy! 】
Louis stood aside. Although he had a typical F-country face, he asked the guests in fluent Chinese if they wanted to have breakfast.
The aroma of food wafted from the table, and the guests ignored Zhou Qingyu and Yan Xi and took their seats one after another.
Qin Li sighed: "The variety shows I participated in before were all terrible. They never prepared breakfast for the guests. Director Yu is so thoughtful."
"Yes," Ye Luoyi spread butter on the toast elegantly, "When the program team told us to prepare our own travel guide, I thought I would be responsible for the meals myself!"
Su Lingling sniffed the freshly ground coffee in the cup, and a smile finally broke out on her gloomy face. "This coffee is good, much better than the one provided on the plane!"
Director Yu walked into the living room and felt embarrassed when he heard the guests all praising him.
Director Yu scratched the back of his head and said, "The homestay was prepared by our program team." After all, it was a variety show, so it was better to gather all the guests together. "But this breakfast... was prepared by Teacher Zhou."
