Chapter 5
After all the guests returned, the director announced that there would be a summary of the tasks that night.
In the next second, a few of us raised our hands together: "Director, can we skip the summary if we cook?" Before the director could speak, Xu Fang led us towards the kitchen: "Of course we can, the director is so kind." As soon as he spoke, we followed and praised him.
The director could only watch as all six of us hid in the kitchen.
Then, Xu Fang raised his hand again: "I don't know how to cook." Xu Rui also wanted to raise her hand, but when her gaze met the nearby camera, she immediately put it down: "Although I don't know how to cook either, I can assist you!" With the other guests, I divided the work and decided that each person would be responsible for two dishes.
As for Xu Fang and the other guests who couldn't cook, they could choose to help whoever they wanted.
Xu Fang saw Lin Wenwen walking towards me and instinctively wanted to follow.
However, he was stopped by Jiang Zhibai as soon as he lifted his foot.
Jiang Zhibai patted his shoulder: "This side is full, go help over there." Xu Fang pointed at Lin Wenwen: "No, I..." Jiang Zhibai gave him an appeasing look: "Be independent, don't be too clingy." With that, he walked directly next to me and started washing vegetables.
Lin Wenwen was initially full of enthusiasm, but when she turned her head, she saw that Jiang Zhibai had already prepared all the necessary seasonings and ingredients.
And it was in the order that I would cook them.
Lin Wenwen was shocked.
The bullet comments were about to burst with laughter.
"Wow, why did Jiang Zhibai ask Xu Fang to be independent and then do this?" "Jiang Zhibai's pleading eyes cracked me up." "Lin Wenwen's expression seems to be asking: Is it necessary to be so extra?" "The other team, come on, we're almost ready to serve, and you haven't finished washing yet." Xu Fang caught sight of the bullet comments, turned and looked at our side, and immediately sped up his actions.
While washing the vegetables, he loudly said, "I advise you to slow down, or later the director will catch us for a summary!" Jiang Zhibai and I heard this and slowed down our actions.
Only Lin Wenwen continued: "Xu Fang is just finding an excuse for us to wait for him, don't fall for it." Xu Fang didn't achieve his goal and was so frustrated that he nearly washed the carrots into sparks.
A few of us dawdled in the kitchen for another half an hour, confirmed that there was no longer time for a summary, and then walked out with the dishes.
The director didn't insist and just stared at us coldly.
Lin Wenwen leaned close to my ear and whispered, "Why do I feel like the director is going to pounce on us and bite us to death in the next second?" I secretly glanced over.
I have to say, it really feels that way.
We gathered together to discuss and finally decided to send two representatives to warm up the director and appease him.
Xu Fang and Jiang Zhibai took on this responsibility voluntarily.
I wonder what they said to the director.
The director grinned widely.
"..."
After dinner, we counted the results of the day's tasks together.
Because Jiang Zhibai displayed a shameless style, our group narrowly won.
As a reward, we were exempted from the punishment of performing on the show.
When we heard this news, Xu Fang nearly flipped out: "We have to perform on the show???"
"Lin Wenwen and Xu Rui sat aside, looking as if the sky had fallen.
The director smirked and said, 'Xu Fang just mentioned that you two don't like rigid task summaries.
Performances should be lively, and Jiang Zhibai agrees.' We looked at Xu Fang.
Xu Fang quickly waved his hands and started stuttering, 'No, no, no, I didn't suggest that! It's just exaggeration!' He even nudged Jiang Zhibai with his elbow and said, 'Brother, the director is talking nonsense.
You've been listening the whole time, say something!' Jiang Zhibai received everyone's gaze and quickly explained, 'We didn't say that! Don't believe the director!' The director couldn't help but burst into laughter, making a goose-like sound.
The bullet comments followed suit and laughed.
[Everyone's performance level: 100%, being fooled by the director: 10000%, director's goose-like laughter level: 1000000%.] [Director, you rascal.] [I can't stop laughing.
Which variety show would make guests perform one by one? I can't tell if the director is joking or not.] [To the sister upstairs, he's sincere.
Previous variety shows always liked to play outdated games.] [Huh? Just came in.
Where did the show team find this loud goose? So noisy.] Xu Fang couldn't resist but didn't want the director to succeed either.
He led all the guests on stage to perform a big chorus.
One person losing face is embarrassing, but a group of people doing it looks cool! In the end, both Jiang Zhibai and I couldn't help but join in the singing.
After the director quietly hummed a few lines, he realized something was wrong and quickly cleared his throat, focusing on the screen seriously.
So, the hot search that night was speculating what the director saw on the monitor to have that expression.
Top comment: [He probably saw some food stuck in his teeth on the screen.] Second top comment: [Failed to pull a prank, too embarrassed to cry, so he could only use this expression to show his dissatisfaction.]
