The group gathered in the well-heated living room to discuss countermeasures.
Ji Qionglian, the oldest among them, spoke up to comfort them, "Let's not be discouraged. This isn't just Chao Ran's responsibility. The train is tomorrow afternoon. Let's think about how we can scrape together the fare."
Su Heng thought for a while and said, "How about we go perform on the street?"
Sheng Yu thought this was a good idea, so he nodded: "I can sing."
Si Suyao: "I can dance."
When it came to Wen Li: "...I feel like I don't know anything."
Si Suyao comforted her, "It's okay if you don't know how. You can count the money tomorrow."
This time, no one asked Li Chaoran's opinion; after discussing it, they all went back to sleep.
The next day, as soon as it was just getting light, everyone got up early.
With her hair a mess, Wen Li began packing her luggage.
Last night, everyone ate a hamburger to save money. Wen Li woke up this morning feeling dizzy and hungry. When she found out there would be no breakfast this morning, she felt like the sky had fallen.
After Li Chaoran finished speaking, she noticed that Wen Li's expression was not good, and she felt that Wen Li was going against her.
You should know that regardless of age or gender, dieting is a daily routine for anyone working in the Chinese entertainment industry. It's just missing one meal, is there any need to be so resentful?
"Little Pear, we're not hungry. If you're really starving, I'll buy you some bread later."
Li Chaoran pretended to be considerate and spoke up.
In her opinion, if Wen Li had any brains, she would say no.
To everyone's surprise, Wen Li nodded, her tone unusually serious: "Then could you please buy me a cheap hamburger? I'm not picky."
Li Chaoran: "..."
Li Chaoran reluctantly went to buy Wen Li a hamburger.
Wen Li's eyes lit up when she saw the hamburger, but she looked somewhat disgusted when she tasted it.
During the live stream, viewers watched Wen Li's antics and sent voice messages in the chat, laughing hysterically.
"Hahaha, you can tell just how awful white food is from Wen Li's disgusted look."
Wen Li: I don't want to eat, but I'm so hungry. I took a bite: Yue!
"That's a perfect description."
"Wen Li's fans shouldn't be so sycophantic. Everyone else skips breakfast, but she's the only one who does?"
"Wen Li is at a crucial stage of growth right now, and she's always had a big appetite. Last night she only ate one hamburger, no wonder she's hungry. What if she gets low blood sugar?"
"Yeah, we're already short on money anyway. A discounted hamburger is less than a dollar, which is less than eight yuan. What exactly did she do wrong?"
"Now a kid gets scolded for wanting a one-dollar hamburger?"
The live stream was filled with angry comments, but Wen Li's fans were not to be trifled with.
As some viewers in the live stream said, Wen Li is still young and growing, so her digestive system naturally needs to be larger than that of an adult.
Besides, Wen Li said she bought a cheap hamburger, which costs less than eight yuan, the kind of money you could beg for on the street. But posting it online makes it seem like Wen Li did something heinous.
Fans were naturally unhappy to see their idol being criticized.
Wen Li had no idea that her breakfast had sparked such a big discussion.
She finally finished the burger, which was covered in salad dressing, and her stomach felt much better.
She felt a little embarrassed, since no one else had eaten and she was the only one who ordered a hamburger.
"I'll try my best to collect the money later."
However, it's easier said than done; when it came to actually setting up a street stall and performing, all sorts of problems arose.
From six in the morning until now at ten o'clock, their legs are almost numb from standing in the square. Although there are many people stopping by, very few people are giving tips.
Wen Li counted the money in the basin, which came to only fifty US dollars, less than four hundred yuan. Earning enough for the travel expenses was harder than climbing to heaven.
Moreover, there is only one bus a day to Pangaea, and the journey takes more than ten hours, during which it is impossible not to eat anything.
Upon closer examination, they realized that the money they earned was far from enough.
However, Wen Li was thinking that if she couldn't earn money, she would go hungry.
After thinking for a moment, Wen Li suddenly moved closer to Su Heng and Si Suyao and asked in a low voice, "Are foreigners superstitious?"
"What?"
Wen Li's question left the two of them completely dumbfounded.
Wen Li asked again, and Su Heng replied slowly, "Generally speaking, foreigners are not as superstitious as Chinese people. China has its own belief in gods, but there are also various churches abroad. However, there are ghost movies abroad, so I think they still believe in them."
Wen Li's eyes lit up, and she leaned close to Si Suyao's ear and whispered something.
Si Suyao's eyes widened slightly after hearing this, and she asked uncertainly, "Are you...are you sure?"
Wen Li nodded: "OK, OK."
Si Suyao hesitated, but Wen Li's firm gaze made it inexplicably impossible for her to refuse.
The live streamer saw three people squatting on the curb playing with crickets, but couldn't hear what they were saying, making him anxious and scratching his head.
"Is there anything our audience can't hear?"
"What exactly is Wen Li thinking?!"
"Help! Stop keeping me in suspense! I really want to get closer to them and hear what they're up to."
Judging from Si Suyao's expression... I have a feeling that Wen Li is going to cause something big.
Sure enough, while everyone was scrolling through the comments, Wen Li walked up to Li Chaoran and said directly, "I have a way to make money. Can you give me two thousand yuan? I need to buy some things."
Upon hearing this, Li Chaoran frowned immediately: "Two thousand yuan? No way!"
Wen Li whispered something to Li Chaoran, but after listening, the other party was even more disapproving and couldn't help but say, "Wen Li, this money belongs to everyone. You can't just mess around like that. We only have two thousand yuan left. You want to buy a piece of clothing for two thousand yuan? I absolutely disagree."
Wen Li: "Those aren't ordinary clothes, and they'll definitely make you money quickly. I'm lucky today."
"Wen Li!" Li Chaoran said sternly, "This is not a place for you to act recklessly. I have to be responsible for everyone. Don't be so willful, and..."
After saying that, Li Chaoran seemed to hesitate for a moment, but said, "Besides, this is just a publicity stunt. If things go wrong, it will be a disgrace to China. I will absolutely not agree to it."
Wenli:......
She originally felt that there was some conflict between her and Li Zhaoran, but now that they were on a TV show, they should at least have some unity.
She could understand that Li Chaoran did not agree with her approach, but wasn't saying it so bluntly just a way of guiding public opinion online?
Wen Li's smile froze on her face, and she turned around without hesitation.
When Si Suyao first saw Wen Li's cold face, Su Heng and Si Suyao quickly ran over to comfort her.
Wen Li said, "Sister Yaoyao, I'm fine. I don't need to buy those things. You can just do it the way I did before."
Si Suyao nodded, and finally found a piece of cardboard and wrote a string of English words on it.
