The longed-for village system

Chapter 275 Chen Qing is angry

Hearing Chen Qing's words, Huang Sanshi and the others' eyes lit up. That's right! How could they have forgotten this? If they couldn't make money, they could just go and mooch meals from the neighbors! At worst, they could cook for themselves.

"No way." Old Wang hurriedly jumped in to stop it, looking at Chen Qing with a frustrated expression, and added, "You can't go to the old house for meals during the show's recording, unless you paid for these ingredients."

He certainly wouldn't stop Zhao Xiaogu from appearing on screen; in fact, he'd love for her to appear more often! However, the program's rules still need to be followed.

Everyone burst into laughter at Lao Wang's exasperated expression. Of course, they wouldn't break the rules of the show casually; they would do it occasionally. After all, finding reasons and excuses was too easy for them.

The live stream was already open, and fans who received the notification entered the live stream one after another to start watching. Of course, the first thing they did was type and post comments to express that they had been there.

"It's here, it's here! The new season of Back to Field has finally started filming. I've been waiting so long!"

"After much anticipation, it's finally here! My dear Brother Chen, I can finally see you again."

"It's been so long since we've heard Brother Chen sing a new song. Let's have one to quench our thirst!"

"Everyone's refreshing their songs, so we have to do one."

"New song!"

Seeing the barrage of comments all saying "new song," Lao Wang said it was necessary to pass on this request to Chen Qing on behalf of the fans. This was also a great opportunity for their show to return and trend on social media. What could be more effective and worthwhile than this?

"Xiao Chen's fans in his live stream want a comeback ceremony and want to hear you sing a new song."

"That's it, no new songs."

Chen Qing resolutely refused. Although there were many songs, there was still too much to sing like that! Besides, he wanted to work for free, which was impossible.

Hearing Chen Qing's words, no one in the audience, including the fans in the live stream, believed him. If it were any other musician, they wouldn't doubt that there were no new works coming out, but who was this guy? The landlord's new song printer wouldn't have any new songs?

It's not that they don't want to sing, it's just a matter of whether they want to or not. Right now, it's clearly a ploy to trick them into not wanting to sing, and they can't agree to that, so they've decisively started selling their disabilities.

"What kind of idol have I become a fan of! They don't record or release songs, they don't hold concerts, and now they won't even fulfill our simplest requests. How did we end up in such a miserable situation?"

"That's right! It's really too tragic. Who has to record their own songs to listen to them? Now they won't even fulfill such a small request."

"It's a request, not a demand. Please be careful with your wording, upstairs. This is terrible."

"Do you have any delivery drivers over there? I have a few boxes of local specialties I want to mail to Brother Chen. Can you deliver them without scanning them?"

Looking at the live stream phone handed to him by the staff, and seeing the fans' self-deprecating humor and threats on it, Chen Qing was speechless. Goodness, they're all such drama queens. It's a pity they're not acting and winning Best Actor awards.

"Xiao Chen, let's do one, let's celebrate by recording again," Huang Sanshi said.

Given the prevailing trend, Chen Qing couldn't just let himself be taken advantage of like that. He turned to Lao Wang off-camera and said, "Since it's all about celebrating the return, Lao Wang, don't you have anything to say?"

Upon hearing Chen Qing's words, Teacher He and Teacher Huang's eyes lit up. A free dinner opportunity had arrived! Of course, being smart people, they wouldn't let such an opportunity pass them by, and they quickly chimed in, "What Xiao Chen said makes sense. Since it's to celebrate our return, Mr. Wang, you should at least show your support. It can't just be that Xiao Chen sings a new song while you don't contribute anything!"

“That makes sense, Mr. Wang, you all see! Xiao Chen has already made his stance clear, so you should also express your opinion! Don’t let people say that Xiao Chen doesn’t care about the fans’ wishes.”

Old Wang and the others naturally understood the threatening meaning in Teacher Huang's words. It was clear that they wouldn't sing the new song unless they bled money. After glancing at the opinions of the assistant directors, he finally agreed.

The cost of a dinner's ingredients in exchange for a new song by Chen Qing is a win-win situation for the production team, no matter how you look at it. Besides, Huang Laohu has already thrown the bomb of fans into their hands; if he doesn't agree, they'll be the ones who get killed in the explosion.

"Okay, just this once! The condition is that Xiao Chen's singing must be well received by everyone, otherwise we will not provide ingredients."

"Mr. Wang, are you questioning my abilities? If so, I can easily earn the money to buy dinner ingredients myself. There's no need for me to be so reluctant."

"No, that's how it has to be said! What if you just sing some random song to fool me?"

"Oh! So you not only doubt my creative abilities, but also my character! Time to cool off! Our friendship is fading!"

Looking at Chen Qing's desolate figure, Lao Wang momentarily questioned whether he had made a mistake. Although Chen Qing was a bit cunning, his character was impeccable, and the songs he promised to sing had never disappointed everyone. He realized that what he had just said was indeed abrupt.

"I'm sorry, Xiao Chen, that's not what I meant," Old Wang promptly apologized.

Chen Qing has over 30 million followers on Weibo now! Compared to Zhao Xiaogu's fans and casual fans, she could easily be attacked to the point of being completely destroyed if she's not careful. It's best to be cautious.

"It's all faded! Feelings have faded, and the little boat of friendship can capsize in an instant." Chen Qing continued to sigh and lament, facing the fields.

"."

At first, Huang Sanshi and Teacher He were a little puzzled, as this was not like Chen Qing's personality! Just as they were about to say a few words of advice, they saw the meaningful look in Chen Qing's eyes and immediately understood, turning around to cooperate.

"Mr. Wang, what you're saying is indeed a bit hurtful. You all know what kind of person Xiao Chen is. When has he ever failed to fulfill a promise he made to you? He always exceeds expectations."

"Yes! Look at what you've said to Xiao Chen, he's in a bad mood now. You should just give us the ingredients first! Once we have the ingredients, we can help you talk to Xiao Chen."

Seeing the serious expressions on Teachers Huang and He's faces, Old Wang had no doubts. After all, questioning someone's character could be a joke at best, and slander at worst. He waved his hand and immediately brought the ingredients over.

To appease Chen Qing, he went all out this time, even bringing out the hairy crabs he had originally bought to treat himself—twenty yuan each! These would cost several hundred here!

In addition, there were abalone and sea cucumbers, all of which he had purchased separately with his own money, and he brought them all out this time.

Looking at the ingredients they had obtained, the two old foxes, He and Huang, smiled knowingly, though on the surface they still maintained a perfect facade. Chen Qing continued to demonstrate his acting skills as an actor, not even glancing at the ingredients, gazing at the sky in a daze, looking utterly desolate.

Peng Peng wanted to go forward to comfort her, but his younger sister reached out and stopped him. Although she was the youngest here, her acting skills were no worse than Teacher Huang's. Moreover, based on her understanding of Brother Chen, she knew that Brother Chen would not be angry about such words. Looking at the tacit cooperation between Father Huang and Teacher He, she already understood the situation perfectly.
