nYu Jue was very enthusiastic about Yu Yao’s orders. Under her arrangements, he was busy washing vegetables, peeling garlic, and other easy tasks.
nYu Yao took over the more complicated tasks of cutting and cooking the vegetables. With the two of them working together, the originally messy and disorderly kitchen gradually became orderly. Soon, the smell of sweet and sour pork wafted out of the kitchen.
nAfter eating, Yu Jue took the initiative to wash the dishes.
nThe production crew handed an envelope to Yu Yao. When she opened it, she saw a mission card. The mission card required the guests of each group to fulfill the wishes their family members made in the interview from a while back, and they had to do it within the next day and a half.
nYu Yao carefully recalled what she and Yu Jue had said during the interview. Then her expression froze.
nShe remembered that Yu Jue wanted to book the entire Disneyland venue, where the two of them would go in and play for a day. Her wish was to make Yu Jue stay quiet and not disturb her.
nYu Yao felt that her wish was still considered normal, but Yu Jue’s wish was simply making things difficult for her.
nPutting aside the fact that Disney did not allow people to book the entire place for themselves, they only had a little more than 200 yuan left for their current activities and did not have the ability to go to Disney.
nAfter washing the dishes, Yu Jue came out of the kitchen and saw Yu Yao lying on the couch with a dispirited expression.
nWalking closer, Yu Jue noticed that there was still a card with the production team’s logo printed on it by her hand. He picked it up and carefully read the contents.
n“There’s only a day and a half left until the end of our first recording. Everyone, please cherish the time you have with your families. I hope that every guest can help their families fulfill the wish that was raised in the interview…”
nAfter reading the content of the card, Yu Jue became visibly excited. His eyes were sparkling as he shook her arm. “That’s great, Yaoyao. We can go out and play alone!”
nYu Yao rolled her eyes. “At that time, you wanted to book the entire Disneyland, but we can’t even afford the tickets now!”
n“I only said that I wanted to go out with Yaoyao. It doesn’t matter if I go to Disneyland or elsewhere. As long as I’m with you, that’s enough.”
n“But in the interview in the introductory video, you clearly said the words ‘Disney’. If I don’t fulfill your wish, I’ll be criticized, right?”
n“This card did say that it would grade every family member’s wish for completion, but why should we care about this score…”
nYu Yao’s eyes widened as she looked at Yu Jue in shock. “You mean we don’t have to care about the production team’s arrangements?”
n“We still have to abide by the normal arrangements of the production team, but when the production team is clearly making things difficult for the guests, why should we cooperate with them?”
nYu Jue said matter-of-factly, “When they were interviewing us previously, who knew that our wishes would become part of the activities? If we knew, we would definitely have said some small wishes that could be easily achieved. It was the production team that was being dishonest first, so there’s no need for us to follow their rules.”
nYu Yao hesitated as she looked at the cameraman working. She used her eyes to ask if this could be done. The cameraman waved his hands and shook his head, trying to persuade Yu Yao not to listen to Yu Jue’s nonsense.
nHowever, the scales in Yu Yao’s heart had already tilted. She directly ignored the cameraman’s bitter expression and nodded firmly.
n“That’s right. Even if we didn’t follow the rules, it was the production team who made the first move. Furthermore, our happiness should come first. Why must we listen to the production team’s orders and make ourselves suffer?”
n“Yaoyao is right!”
nYu Jue raised her hand in excitement and cheered. Yu Yao extended her hand and clapped with her. The relaxed atmosphere between the two of them was at odds with the other groups of guests.
nThe associate director had been watching the situation of each group of guests from behind the monitor. At this moment, the director in charge of Yu Jue’s group had a bitter expression. He had no way to deal with guests who did not abide by the rules like Yu Jue and Yu Yao, so he could only ask the executive director. “Director, Yu Jue’s group doesn’t play by the rules at all. Should we intervene?”
nThe executive director smiled and waved his hand. “Don’t worry about them. On a variety show, the confrontation between the guests and the production team is a very exciting thing to watch.”
nThe associate director was still a little unhappy. “Are we just going to let these two scoundrels muddle through for three days?”
n“Whatever they want. They can hang around if they want.”
nThe executive director was still smiling, not a hint of anger on his face.
n“But our production team doesn’t need to act like we’re pushovers. After every recording session, isn’t there a scoring based on performance?”
n“We can wait until they’re done muddling through this session to tell them. Every score will affect the starting fund of each group of guests. After that, if we change the recording location of the show, it will also affect the food and lodging conditions of each group of guests… We can hide such an important piece of information first and reveal it after evaluating the scores. That scene will definitely be especially dramatic.”
