Chapter 54: Classic Reappearance
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The three groups of guests returned to their residences and took advantage of the lunch break to tidy up the house.
The sweet potatoes, chestnuts, and pecans that the old lady had given Meng Chuyuan from the previous episode were still available to her. In the previous episode, before they had left, these things were all given to the production team for safe-keeping.
Just as they were packing, the staff sent these things to Meng Chuyuan.
The staff member said, “These are the items you deposited last time. You will have to pay us 10 labor coins for them.”
“Okay, I understand.” Meng Chuyuan took out 10 labor coins from the previous episode and handed them to the staff.
In the previous recording session, after they had left the school and turned off the live broadcast, Meng Chuyuan had privately negotiated with the production team about the storage.
Because they had not finished eating it at that time, they were afraid of wasting it. However, they thought that since they would have a second episode to record, there was also no need for them to bring it back. Hence, Meng Chuyuan thought of asking the production team to temporarily store it for them.
When Director Luo heard that Meng Chuyuan had a request, he naturally could not let go of the opportunity. Hence, he suggested to Meng Chuyuan that she pay 10 labor coins to store the items.
At that time, there was no live-stream, so there was no way to record the terms of the exchange. However, the production team was very shrewd. They first collected the items for Meng Chuyuan, then waited for the second episode of the live-stream to collect the labor coins. The production team was afraid of being accused of unfairly deducting the labor coins of the guests.
[I almost forgot that my Sister Meng still has these food supplies.]
[The production team is really considerate this time. They actually brought these things over for Sister Meng from afar. However, asking for labor coins is a little extra. Hahaha, I bet that it was Director Luo’s decision.]
[Help! When I see this bag of sweet potatoes, I think of the old grandpa and grandma from the previous episode. The two elders probably don’t know that Sister Meng and the others have already left the village. Boohoo.]
In the afternoon, the six guests’ mission was to clean up the trash on the beach.
Meng Chuyuan’s team lived closer to the pier, so they were the first to arrive. The other two groups of guests were still on their way.
The production team rented a large fishing boat. It looked a little old and probably was already a few years old.
Perhaps it was because they were at sea, but the wind was a little strong today.
Meng Chuyuan was wearing a short black suit jacket with a white shirt inside. She was wearing a pair of loose jeans and black Doc Martens. Not only did it show off her slender figure, but it also had a nice layered effect.
Her high ponytail could even be blown around by the strong winds, and the hair in front of her forehead was slightly messy.
Lu Jinsen put on his hoodie. His fringe covered his eyes, and the sea breeze inadvertently blew it up. Only then could his deep eyes be seen clearly. Half of the harshness in his eyes had faded, making him look cute and obedient.
When the two of them arrived, they boarded the ship and waited for the other guests to appear.
[The production team is too good at cutting costs. They’re not even willing to rent a good boat.]
[I have to say, Lu Jinsen was so handsome just now.]
[After Sister Meng tied up her hair, I realized that her outfit today was a little sweet and cool. I want to ask her where she bought her suit jacket. It’s too beautiful. Can the live-stream manager help me to convey my question?]
[The knitted vest Sister Meng wore this morning was also very beautiful. Perhaps it was a little cold without the sleeves, so she changed into the suit jacket. Hahaha.]
[F*ck! How could anyone think of pairing a suit jacket with shirt, and jeans?
She even looks so good in it.]
Not long after, the other two groups of guests arrived, but this time, Qi Yan did not appear.
When Liao Jiake’s team met Qi Zhen, they happened to be at the docks. Seeing
Oi Zhen alone, Liao Tiake asked curiously, “Oi Zhen, where’s your sister? She didn’t come?”
Embarrassed, Qi Zhen said, “She’s not feeling well.”
Liao Jiake: “Alright.”
Qi Yan said that she was a little unaccustomed to the weather. Then, she had a cold this morning, so she applied for leave from the production team. The director saw that she did not look too good, so he asked her to stay on the island to rest.
In any case, it did not affect Qi Zhen much. He would feel more relaxed without Qi Yan around.
“I’ll go up first and then help you guys over.” Qi Zhen boarded the ship first, then reached his hand out and slowly brought the Liao sisters over safely. After Liao Jiake boarded the ship safely, she said gently to Qi Zhen, “Thank you.”
[F*ck! I suddenly feel like kissing Ke Ke and Qi Zhen.]
[Why can’t she be Qi Zhen’s sister? They look more like siblings.]
[Brother Qi Zhen is so warm-hearted and really knows how to take care of people. Now, I’m head over heels for him every day. Hahahaha.]
[On a closer look, Qi Yan really can’t compare to Liao Jiake. She’s really gentle and pleasant. Where can you find such a beautiful and kind big sister?]
They took the fishing boat back to the beach that they were at this morning. The production team had prepared gloves, sacks, and trash pickers for the guests.
Most of the trash on the beach was from the sea. As the waves surged ashore, after a long time of neglect, some of the trash had already been buried by sand and rocks.
Director: “Everyone’s mission this afternoon is to clean up the trash on the beach under our feet. This mission is not a competition. If everyone sees trash, pick it up together. After completing it, each group will receive 100 labor coins. ”
After saying that, the director secretly observed the expressions of the guests and said humbly, “Is everyone okay with this?”
After Meng Chuyuan’s previous feedback that the activities of the variety show were unreasonable, Director Luo decided to change the rules after careful consideration and double the labor coins he had previously set for everyone.
The director felt that with the increased compensation, the guests should have been satisfied, right?
He had made a huge decision. If everyone was still not satisfied, he could reluctantly increase their compensation?
[Director Luo is too sensible this week. He’s actually willing to increase the labor coins for the guests.]
[It must have been because he was criticized for the low compensation rates last episode. The director was so frightened that he quickly revised and made a plan. Hahaha.]
[Director: Stop scolding me. I know I was wrong.]
[The director might be doing this to please Sister Meng because he was unable to establish partnership with her last time. The production team is crazily showing their sincerity.]
The five guests looked at each other and had no objections. “Sure… no problem.”
Seeing that everyone was agreeable, the director smiled. “Then everyone can start working after taking the tools.”
When Meng Chuyuan was wearing her gloves, the camera shot swept over her hands. The big diamond ring on her finger happened to receive the sunlight and flashed with a dazzling white light. The audience in the live-stream was exceptionally excited to see it. At the same time, the number of viewers soared.
[Is this considered a classic reappearance? Hahahaha.]
[Sister Meng: I’m familiar with picking up trash.]
[I seriously suspect that the director deliberately arranged this trash collection event.]
[I didn’t expect to see Sister Meng picking up trash for the second time, but this time, she has all the tools and gloves..]
