Chapter 237 Is there a more meager reward than this?
Su Mingyue's performance was truly at a performance level; in fact, even professional performances might not be as brilliant.
Viewers in the live stream were thrilled and edited together clips and memes of Su Mingyue riding the flying pig.
It quickly became a trending topic.
Many netizens rushed over after hearing the news, eager to catch a glimpse of the warrior.
Director Wang looked at the influx of traffic and pressed his hand to calm his racing heart.
They lamented how hard it is to earn money.
Consider it compensation for the shock he suffered.
He was almost scared to death just now.
The assistant director, with his legs crossed, said sarcastically, "Has the sun risen in the west? Even our rock-solid Director Wang has moments when he can't sit still."
I really wanted to record you walking so fast just now, so the whole crew could enjoy it.
Director Wang felt guilty and shrank back in his chair without saying a word.
Previously, Yuan Yangyang and her friends had only engaged in minor squabbles, at most arguing, but never actually fighting.
But this time was different; it was far too dangerous.
He never expected that someone could cause such a huge disaster.
His perfectly good lifestyle reality show almost turned into a competitive sport, and there was even a risk of it making the news as a negative example.
The thought of the gruesome scenes of pigs destroying human lives in the news made Director Wang shudder involuntarily.
Heaven was kind to him and didn't let that scene come true.
Director Wang muttered softly, "Playing is playing, joking is joking, but I don't joke about people's lives."
Seeing Director Wang's cowardly appearance, the assistant director felt a little relieved, and all his previous anxiety and anger seemed to have been soothed.
Indeed, it's better to torment others than torment yourself.
It's time to let Director Wang experience the fear and trepidation he felt before.
But as soon as I turned my head and saw the guests in the room, my head started to hurt again.
He continued to vent his anger on Director Wang, "Where did you find these troublemakers? They're all so troublesome, causing all sorts of bizarre and messy tasks."
Immediately afterwards, the assistant director started counting on his fingers, "Tu Sibo watered the ground and ended up watering himself too. Su Mingyue used her beauty to seduce people and rode a flying pig, making the production team run into chaos."
The Yuan siblings were even more bizarre; best left unmentioned, they were practically living ancestors.
To avoid getting so angry he'd die, the assistant director shut up and said nothing more.
Director Wang, recalling Yuan Yangyang's questionable actions during the mission, fell silent.
Once everyone had arrived, Director Wang, holding a megaphone, began to go through the procedures, settling wages for each group.
Lin Yan cleaned two and a half pigsties, but the production team counted three pigsties as her work.
Su Mingyue's total working time was less than ten minutes, but the production team still gave her a pigsty as agreed beforehand.
They earned 50 yuan for cleaning a pigsty, and their group made a total of 200 yuan.
As soon as the director took out the money, Su Mingyue stepped forward quickly and took it from him.
Then, with a strong tea-like tone, he said to Lin Yan, "We're in the same group, so you don't mind if I put the money here, right?"
Lin Yan smiled and said, "No objection."
Yuan Yangyang noticed that Lin Yan unconsciously clenched her fist a little tighter.
Director Wang pretended not to see the subtle tension between the two.
They continued the process while holding up a large megaphone.
"Next, we will announce the income of the other groups. Each group whose name is called will send one member to collect their salary."
We hope that those guests who are slacking off will consciously abide by the program rules and refrain from shameless acts of cheating, deceit, and double-dealing. We also hope that other guests will take this as a warning.
These words left the guests stunned, unsure of what Director Wang meant.
Qi Cheng noticed that when Director Wang said this, he rolled his eyes at the Yuan siblings.
It's obvious who these words were directed at, but we don't know what the Yuan siblings did to elicit such a strong reaction from the director.
This was the first time Yuan Si'an had ever been publicly mocked by a director.
Feeling inexplicably guilty, I looked down at my toes, determined to continue feigning deafness and dumbness.
Then look at Yuan Yangyang, she has somehow gotten a bamboo recliner and is sitting on it, swaying back and forth, looking very relaxed and comfortable.
He didn't take Director Wang's words to heart at all, and let it out along with the fart.
The viewers in the live stream were laughing so hard they were dying.
[Haha, Yuan Yangyang is hilarious! Director Wang is almost driven crazy by her.]
[Director, what's the use of you glaring and berating? Look at Yuan Yangyang, does she even acknowledge you?]
[Yuan Yangyang isn't here to do a show; she's here to put the director through a trial!]
[Yuan Si'an: Read but not replying. Yuan Yangyang: Not reading, not replying. They're practically siblings, their chemistry is incredible.]
Director Wang began to disclose his team's earnings.
"The Tu brothers' group, each person is paid 50 yuan, totaling 100 yuan."
"The senior team paid 5 yuan per basket of apples, and picked a total of 24 baskets of apples, for a total of 120 yuan."
After both groups had received their wages, Director Wang took a megaphone and walked towards Yuan Yangyang.
Yuan Yangyang was sitting on a recliner with her eyes closed, swaying back and forth, when suddenly a voice shouted into her ear.
His voice was booming, as if it would shatter her eardrums.
"The Yuan siblings are slacking off and receiving no wages!"
You can tell what Director Wang's mood is from the harshness of his tone.
"My goodness, who are you trying to scare to death!"
Yuan Yangyang sprang off the recliner with a swift movement, clutching her pounding heart, her face filled with shock.
Seeing this, Director Wang was satisfied and withdrew his hand from holding the megaphone.
"Now, the guests can use their own wages to go to our mini-supermarket to buy ingredients."
Those without wages can live on the northwest wind or the southeast wind—it's all free!
After saying that, Director Wang strode away with an air of indifference, as if he didn't recognize anyone.
But in Yuan Yangyang's eyes, she just seemed arrogant.
"So what if I didn't do the mission? Why are you being so petty!" Yuan Yangyang thought to herself, covering her ears that had been shattered by the noise.
Then, they joined the main group and entered the small supermarket specially set up by the production team.
Before Yuan Yangyang even went inside, she could hear the incredulous voices of the guests inside.
Tu Xiangchen: "Director, are you sure you're not mistaken? This small bunch of greens costs 20 yuan. This is no way to rob people!"
Su Mingyue pointed to a piece of pork tenderloin and said, "This small piece of meat costs 50 yuan, that's outrageous!"
Even Lin Yan, who rarely speaks, couldn't help but chime in, "Yeah, Director, this is way too expensive. Our wages for working half a day are only enough for one meal. Are we all going to go hungry tomorrow?"
Yuan Yangyang looked around the shelves; they had a wide variety of vegetables and meats, and even some large shrimp.
However, the prices are also quite attractive.
A serving of beef costs eighty yuan, and a serving of shrimp costs a hundred yuan.
The cheapest item is potatoes, but they still cost five yuan per pound.
Su Mingyue: "Director, our group won first place, is there no reward?"
Director Wang: Yes.
Su Mingyue's eyes lit up, and she asked impatiently, "Where is it? It's not a lavish feast, is it!"
Lin Yan also looked over excitedly.
Director Wang coughed lightly, put his hands behind his back, and struck a very confident pose.
He then announced, "The first place winner will receive a packet of pickled mustard greens and a salted duck egg."
