Chapter 43 Combination Names

Looking at the smile on Chen Hong's face, everyone suddenly felt a sense of foreboding.

"Report!"

Xu An raised his hand.

Seeing this, Chen Hong frowned and said irritably, "What kind of trouble are you going to cause now!"

"I feel like our little hut is a unified whole. Zize didn't harvest wheat yesterday, so let's make up for it for him today!"

"As for the new task, how about we postpone it to next time?"

Having said that, before Chen Hong could speak, Xu An continued:

"Director Chen, public opinion is overwhelming! We can raise our hands to vote!"

Hearing this, Chen Zize, who was standing to the side, said with a forced smile:

"Director Chen, I have no objection. I request that Xu An help me harvest the wheat. This can also be decided by a show of hands."

"Director Chen, hurry up and tell us about the new task. The audience is getting impatient."

Xu An looked serious.

Oh no, Zizhe has really become smarter.

Chen Hong looked at Xu An's rapidly changing expression and smiled amusedly: "Actually, I'm also a director who's good at accepting opinions!"

"Director, you must stick to your own judgment! You're in charge of this production team, don't let others influence you!" Xu An said earnestly.

The viewers in the live stream seemed to enjoy the spectacle even more.

Why was he initially arrogant but later became obsequious?

I didn't expect Chen Zize to be able to trade one for one at the last minute.

Xu An also shot himself in the foot, knowing that everyone would be happy for him and Chen Zize to finish the vote together.

[Urgent! I just want to know what the new mission is, and I hope they continue to suffer!]

Chen Hong snorted coldly, but did not continue to pursue Xu An. Instead, she turned around and announced the new mission.

"The villagers are busy harvesting wheat, so they don't have time to go to the town market, but there are a few households in town that need to buy some items."

"This task will be entrusted to our Peach Blossom Cottage."

Upon hearing this, the crowd seemed somewhat incredulous.

Is it really that simple?

Xu An quickly spoke up to confirm:

"Director Chen, will you provide transportation? We won't have to walk?"

"Of course." Chen Hong nodded.

"The items we're looking to purchase aren't anything particularly rare, are they?"

Chen Hong nodded again.

Seeing this, everyone's expressions softened.

"It seems Director Chen is planning to let us have a good look around the market today," Jiang Zhaoyue said with a beaming smile.

The others also showed expressions of agreement.

It seems the production team does have some humanity.

"Is the procurement funding to be paid now?" Xu An also lowered his guard and asked casually.

Chen Hong didn't say anything.

Everyone: ?

Xu An looked at Chen Hong's smiling face and his heart sank.

"Director Chen, you're not going to cut off the funding, are you?"

Chen Hong said seriously, "Our little house has always encouraged everyone to be self-reliant!"

"Everyone can set up a stall or perform for money, and we will provide an initial funding of one hundred dollars."

"Note that you cannot use your own identity, and you cannot obtain any unreasonable gains."

"We rank participants based on the amount of items they purchase, and that ranking determines the food budget for the next episode."

Upon hearing this, Xu An stroked his chin, his eyes lighting up.

"Hey, I have an idea! Let's use everyone's 100 yuan to buy instant noodles and eat them until the show ends, okay?"

"When I first started college and didn't have a part-time job, this is what I did when my living expenses were almost gone!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Hong was so angry that she gritted her teeth and slammed her hand on the table.

"Please note that the funds provided by the program team can only be used for villagers' purchasing purposes!"

The viewers in the live stream seemed quite pleased to see Chen Hong getting angry at Xu An.

[No, wait, my university allowance is almost gone, I don't have money left for instant noodles, I'm just eating steamed buns and Lao Gan Ma chili sauce!]

[Fun fact: Rice and soup are free in the cafeteria.]

[At the beginning and end of the month: the rich and the poor!]

Isn't this the kind of situation where a roommate is useful?

Seemingly sensing that she didn't know what else Xu An might do if she stayed any longer, Chen Hong hurriedly left after handing over the task.

The six people left behind looked at each other, holding the hundred-yuan bills handed to them by the staff.

Xu An looked at the hundred yuan in his hand and stroked his chin.

How do I make money?

Soon, Xu An had an idea in mind.

"It feels like it's still lacking something!"

Xu An muttered to himself, then looked at Shen Wanwan beside him, who was frowning, and his eyes lit up.

"Wanwan, would you like to invest in me?"

"What kind of investment?" Shen Wanwan blinked her bright eyes, her voice tinged with confusion.

"Invest fifty with me, and I'll double it for you when I make money!"

Xu An's voice carried a hint of seduction.

However, his expression quickly froze.

"It's all yours!"

Seeing Shen Wanwan's decisive manner, Xu An was somewhat at a loss.

"Wanwan, aren't you afraid I'll lose out???"

Xu An's voice carried a hint of doubt.

"It's alright, we've been starving together."

Shen Wanwan's voice was weak but very firm.

The live stream chat was instantly filled with envy.

[Xu An: Watch my brilliant rhetoric! Wanwan: What are you babbling about? If you want money, I'll just give it to you, that's all!]

Oh no, it seems like Wanwan is really falling for her!

[I don't believe it! This is a variety show, it must be scripted! /crying]

[It's just a hundred yuan, why are you all so worked up?]

That's all of Wanwan's 100 yuan! If Xu An really loses out, the two of them will be starving!

Shen Wanwan easily obtained one hundred yuan, but Xu An felt something was off.

Why don't I feel any sense of accomplishment?

Looking at Shen Wanwan with a faint smile on her face, Xu An blinked.

Why does it look like it's glowing?

Shaking his head to dispel the inexplicable thoughts in his mind, Xu An turned his gaze to the others.

"Xiao An, are you sure you're not going to use my money to eat and drink recklessly at the market again?"

"How about we shoot some airsoft guns while we're at it?"

Upon hearing Xu An's purpose, the older sister spoke slowly, a hint of a smile playing on her lips.

Upon hearing this, Xu An felt deeply wronged.

He's really planning to run his stall properly this time!

Unfortunately, perhaps because his past record was too obvious, Bai Ge rejected him without hesitation.

They reached a tacit understanding with Jiang Zhaoyue, who was standing next to them, and the two decided to set up a stall together.

Perhaps inspired by their two teams, Zhang Lin and Chen Zize also decided to team up and set up a stall.

Xu An felt quite regretful about this.

"Uncle Zhang, why don't you and Brother Zize believe me?"

"As long as you invest money, I guarantee that after setting up your stall, you'll grow it into a big, successful business and achieve even greater success!"

Seeing Xu An's persistent attitude, Zhang Lin snorted coldly.

"Xiao Xu, do you know what you look like right now?"

Xu An shook his head, somewhat bewildered.

"Like a character I played before."

"Is it the kind of successful entrepreneur?"

Xu An smiled.

"No, they were fraudsters, mainly involved in illegal fundraising, and they were eventually caught."

Zhang Lin suddenly said.

Xu An didn't laugh.

Seeing Xu An's rather unpleasant expression, Chen Zize secretly gloated.

You finally got what you deserved!

The live stream audience was delighted with this.

Now that Uncle Zhang has mentioned it, it does seem somewhat similar!

Sure enough, people do grow up; Uncle Zhang isn't falling for their tricks anymore.

[Hehe, but why does Uncle Zhang seem so confident? Have they already decided what to sell?]

They didn't stay in the cabin for long. Soon, apart from Zhang Lin and Chen Zize, Bai Ge and Jiang Zhaoyue left one after another for the town.

As Jiang Zhaoyue left, she gloated:

"Little Anzi, if you can't sell them, you can come to this princess. Maybe I'll take pity on you and invest a little!"

After Jiang Zhaoyue left, Shen Wanwan looked at Xu An, who was deep in thought, and comforted him:

"Brother An, Sister Zhaoyue was just saying that, don't be angry."

Upon hearing this, Xu An was taken aback.

"Who said I'm angry?"

"Then why aren't you saying anything?" Shen Wanwan asked, somewhat bewildered.

"I'm thinking about something important!"

"What? Are you selling something at a stall?"

Shen Wanwan's face showed interest.

"Oh, no, what's our group called?"

Shen Wanwan: ……
