"What are you laughing at? I'm not ashamed of this at all. Look at the other two groups of guests. They are probably still worrying about how to make a living, while I have already started releasing new songs. Isn't this crushing them? I should be proud of this." Xia Tian didn't mind Qiu Mengyun's teasing at all, and showed off complacently.
"Yes, yes, yes! You're right, you're the best, okay?"
The two chatted and laughed, then returned to their rented house to rest.
At the same time, the other two groups of guests did not live as comfortably as them.
After renting a house, He Yunting and Xie Jinglong interviewed for a five-star hotel together.
With her outstanding appearance and good conversation and temperament, He Yunting successfully got the position of catering manager.
Xie Jinglong also successfully relied on his cooking skills to get a position as the second chef in the kitchen.
Although it was almost dawn, He Yunting was still directing her waiters to clean the restaurant.
As for Xie Jinglong, he was currently preparing meals for the employees in the kitchen.
"Yunting, how do you feel? Are you tired?"
After finishing everything, the two of them each took a bowl of work lunch and lay on the dining table, eating and chatting.
"It's okay. This job doesn't require much physical labor. It's just that I haven't stayed up this late in a while. I'm a little uncomfortable staying up so long on the first day." He Yunting answered while shoveling food into her mouth.
"I guess there will be no buses after get off work. It seems we can only take a taxi back." When Xie Jinglong thought about the cost of taking a taxi back, a look of heartache appeared on his face.
"It's okay. The money we have left is enough to support us for a month. Besides, working here provides three meals a day, so we can buy a second-hand electric car with the remaining money. When we get up tomorrow, we will go buy one, so that it will be much more convenient for us to go to and from get off work in the future." He Yunting smiled and comforted Xie Jinglong.
"You're so thoughtful. If you hadn't thought of coming to work at the hotel, we might still be struggling to make ends meet. Let alone buying an electric car, we can barely afford the bus fare." Xie Jinglong couldn't help but sigh when he heard He Yunting's words. He hadn't expected that He Yunting, who was a few years younger than him, actually knew how to survive in difficult situations better than he did.
He Yunting smiled and said, "That's not true. I actually just thought about your delicious cooking and decided to come to the hotel to try it out. If it weren't for your cooking skills, I wouldn't have thought of working here, and no one else would have hired us."
Xie Jinglong sighed: "Alas, I won't say anything. This time it's my fault. I made you suffer with me."
He Yunting smiled and said, "Hehe, that's not necessarily true! The four people in the other two groups might be living even worse off than us. We don't have to worry about food, clothing, shelter and transportation every day, but they might just be able to barely make ends meet. I guess in a few days, even eating and sleeping will become a problem."
Hearing He Yunting mention the other guests, Xie Jinglong also laughed and said, "Haha, that's really possible. These young people are used to spending money lavishly. They must not be used to being suddenly restricted. Maybe they have almost spent all their money by now."
"I just wonder what Xia Tian has been doing these past few days. Is he living a better life than us?"
He Yunting asked in surprise, "Why do you think Xia Tian is doing better than us? He's the youngest of the guests, a recent college graduate with no job experience. He's the typical person who's always asking his family for money while never earning a penny himself. Logically, he should be the least able to adapt to this situation."
Xie Jinglong shook his head: "I can't really explain it, but I just feel that guy has a bit of a devilish streak. I wouldn't be surprised if anything happened to him."
"Haha! I think you were impressed by Xia Tian's amazing performance in playing games." He Yunting laughed and did not take his words to heart.
On the other side, inside a motel.
Chen Qingqing and Fang Wenxuan will stay here tonight.
Last night when the two of them checked into a four-star hotel, they were still complaining about the poor environment of the hotel.
As a result, today they came here obediently to stay in the motel.
It’s not that they think the environment of a budget hotel is better than that of a four-star hotel, but that they don’t have enough money.
Since they did not have any outstanding performance in the first two stages, their group was the only one that did not receive any reward funds, and they were naturally 500 yuan less in starting capital than the other two groups.
If it was just 500 yuan less, it wouldn't have much of an impact, but neither of these two people knows how to make a living.
After parting with everyone, the two of them went to the cinema to watch a movie for the whole morning, and then had a feast.
After just one day, they only had a few hundred yuan left. They couldn't even afford a four-star hotel, let alone a budget hotel.
"Fang Wenxuan, we only have more than 200 yuan left. What should we do if we run out of money tomorrow?" Chen Qingqing, who was lying on the bed, asked anxiously.
Fang Wenxuan wasn't worried at all. He said nonchalantly, "It's just that I'm out of money. What's there to worry about? Even if I lost all my money to Xia Tian, I won't worry about such a small amount. Don't worry, I'll contact a friend to transfer 100,000 yuan to me tomorrow."
Chen Qingqing immediately shook her head and said, "No, the program team has regulations. Apart from the start-up funds they provide, we can only spend our own money later. Asking friends to send money directly is against the rules."
