Chapter 245 Face
The basket of fish that Ren Tuo and Nie Wenjin caught was about the same weight as that of the other three guests combined, but they were not nearly as big.
Fish in the sea are generally bigger than those in the river. Even if they look similar, they can't be of the same size. Maybe it's because they drink salt water from childhood, so they are stronger? Anyway, they are bigger.
The fish caught by the guests were all large, and another reason for that was that they threw the small ones back into the sea.
It is for this reason that Li Wensheng kindly chose to calculate by kilograms instead of the number of fish. Small fish don't take up much on the scale, so if they are lost, they are lost. It doesn't matter.
It is a good thing that the guests are willing to release the fish, and it also has a positive publicity effect. We can't do anything in this regard and disappoint them.
But... when Ren Tuo fished the fish out of the sea, Li Wensheng wanted to change his mind on the spot and started counting the number of fish instead.
There is no other reason.
At an unknown moment when Li Wensheng was not paying close attention, Ren Tuo and Nie Wenjin sneaked around, and somehow they caught a lot of big fish, some of which were even taller than an adult man!
How the hell is this possible!!!
Li Wensheng jumped up from his chair and almost jumped in front of Ren Tuo.
"No, where did you get these big fish? This is unscientific. You only have one hand to exert force, and Nie Wenjin can't even stand. Even if you can catch such a big fish, you can't pull it up!"
His eyes almost popped out of their sockets as he stared at the pile of fish:
"You guys are cheating!"
Nie Wenjin lowered her head to admire her fingernails which had no manicure at all.
Ren Tuo squatted down and waited quietly for the crew to weigh the fish.
No one paid any attention to Li Wensheng.
Li Wensheng was so angry that smoke came out of his head and he was desperate to find a cure. He picked up a poor guy and asked:
"You were standing next to them fishing just now. Tell me, did you see them cheating?"
The unlucky person who was randomly chosen was Han Fei.
Han Fei reluctantly pried open Li Wensheng's hand that was grabbing his collar, straightened the non-existent collar, and tried his best to save the round collar of the short-sleeved shirt from his vice, and sighed:
"I'm not saying anything bad about you, Director Li, but if you don't want to compete with us, then just stay put and watch carefully."
"Since you didn't even watch us fishing carefully, it's inappropriate to get angry and blame us now that something has happened, right?"
"Besides, I am also a guest. You want me to betray the organization. This..."
Li Wensheng gritted his teeth and said:
"I'll give you an extra meal. If you tell me clearly now, I'll give you an extra Australian lobster, a portion of salmon sashimi, and a big bowl of bamboo steamed rice when the meal starts!"
It turns out that this stingy guy will charge extra money!
Han Fei was so happy that he immediately reported the matter with a smile on his face:
"Oh, why didn't you say so earlier? Why are you so polite? But since you are so polite, I won't be polite anymore."
"This is what happened—"
He recounted in detail everything he had just witnessed.
When sea fishing, Han Fei stood next to Nie Wenjin and Ren Tuo. Although he himself never stopped catching fish, he still had some time to watch the fun. So when the two people next to him caught fish, Li Wensheng didn't notice it, but he saw the whole process.
At the beginning, it was indeed as Li Wensheng had seen. Nie and Ren only used one fishing rod to fish, and even Nie Wenjin only served as a support. Most of the specific operations were done by Ren Tuo.
It stands to reason that even if the two of them combined are stronger than the others, it is not that exaggerated, because no matter how tempting those big fish are, they just can't be pulled up. There is a high probability that they will lose more than they gain. The line may break due to improper control of strength, or the hook may come off directly, or the big fish may pull the fishing rod into the water. There is a high probability that these things will happen.
This is also the reason why Li Wensheng didn't care too much.
Anyone who knows a little about sea fishing knows that big fish are great, but it takes a long time to catch them. Unless Ren Tuo is a Super Saiyan or has a weapon that makes all living things equal, he should still take it as far as he can. So what if he catches a big one? He's wasting all his time on it!
But at the same time, it was precisely because Li Wensheng ignored the two of them after observing for a few minutes that he did not notice when Qi Qingyi later instructed the crew member next to him to help Nie Wenjin.
When they set out, everyone had a fishing rod. Ren Tuo did not fish with two rods at the same time, but after he caught a big fish, he would walk around it twice and signal Nie Wenjin with his eyes. Then Nie Wenjin would directly turn on her two buffs of [super beautiful and popular movie queen] + [the ship owner's good friend], play the emotional card and say that her legs hurt, so as to persuade the crew to help walk the fish and pull the rod.
When the crew was fooled into helping, Ren Tuo picked up another fishing rod and started fishing again.
Pull the fish here, put the hook there, then pull again and put it again, over and over again, it's almost like an industrial chain has been formed!
Not to mention that the crew members have weapons in their hands. Even if they are not dangerous things like the Equality Device, there are harpoons specifically for dealing with big fish. They all have rich experience in accompanying others to fish, and they can hit the target with one poke. In addition, the crew members know how to fish, and just watching others fish makes them itchy. Now that Ren Tuo has given them the right to fish, it is equivalent to giving them a handful of exchanged game coins and letting the crew members play slot machines. Who can resist this?
So now it has developed to its current state.
After listening to this, Li Wensheng covered his face and sighed deeply and long.
After a while, he wiped his face vigorously, and said in a vicissitudes of life:
"Ren Tuo, I just told you that your cooperation method is not advisable. If you really just want to fish, I certainly can't stop you, but you are really destroying the balance of the game now. The other guests..."
Before he could finish his words, Lu Xiaoli on the other side stuck her head out and looked over here. After looking for a while, she interrupted Li Wensheng.
"Hey, hey, hey, Director Li, what are you talking about? If you want to persuade them to quit, then do it with your own ability, or avoid loopholes in advance and don't let them take advantage of them."
"Now some of us are following your rules. If there are any loopholes, it's because the rules were not set well when they were made. How can you patch them up like this? Don't you think so, Queen Nie?"
Li Wensheng stared at Lu Xiaoli in amazement.
Lu Xiaoli didn't care about other people's opinions at all. She just held her head high and chest out when Nie Wenjin secretly gave her a thumbs up, and expressed her pride in "serving the people."
Seeing this, Li Wensheng couldn't help but recall it carefully -
He remembered correctly, Lu Xiaoli used to be a fan of Han Fei, and it was not a script arranged by the program team. In the first episode, she crossed the line with Han Fei in the live broadcast room and caused a big mess. She is definitely not a fan of Nie Wenjin. She is speaking for Nie Wenjin like this, is she suddenly crazy? !
As luck would have it, the scene was already in chaos, and Qi Qingyi, who was standing nearby, was still watching the fun, clapping and cheering:
"Master Qingtang, Sister Xiaoli!!!"
"If you are an official who doesn't serve the people, you might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes. The way you put your hands on your hips really shows that you are in the right position!"
"Beautiful!" Qi Qingyi was of course against Li Wensheng's nitpicking.
Isn't that nonsense? She had already specially sent someone to help Nie Wenjin, so she naturally hoped that Nie Wenjin would catch as many fish as possible. No matter whether the fish was used to buy lunch or exchange for supplies, it was a good thing that her idol didn't suffer any loss.
Qi Qingyi's fish were in the middle of the pack among all the guests. It was simple. Although she used to go out to sea and play everywhere, she only knew a little bit of everything. There were very few marine projects that she was really interested in. If she didn't really love it to a certain extent, it would be difficult for a beauty-loving little girl like her to convince herself to stay in the sea every day. No matter how complete the sunscreen tools were, she would still get tanned!
But these have no impact on her standing by and adding fuel to the fire.
Ren Tuo's gaze swept over the people who stood up to speak one by one, his eyes flashing slightly with thought.
As things stand…
It's normal for Qi Qingyi to speak for Nie Wenjin, as she is a fan and they have become familiar with each other over the past few days, so there is nothing to find fault with. It's also normal for Han Fei to be funny and accept Director Li's bribe to tell the truth, as there will be cameras around even if he doesn't say anything, and he will be seen sooner or later when Li Wensheng goes back to watch the replay, so it's better to just treat him to a big meal.
As for Lu Xiaoli, Ren Tuo didn't know this person, nor did he know why she participated in the recording of this program. However, from the current perspective, she was definitely standing on the opposite side of Lu Siyuan and speaking for Nie Wenjin. It was probably because Nie Wenjin belonged to Han Fei's small group, and Lu Siyuan hated them?
Now, the only problem left is Director Li.
There is still more than one day left for the recording of this episode. Even if we catch a lot of fish, we won't be able to exchange for much supplies. In addition to lunch extras, the only food that can be exchanged is staple food and canned food. These things can be stored for a long time, so there is no such thing as excessive exchange leading to waste. Even if Li Wensheng gritted his teeth and gave them to them, what would happen? They would be recycled after the recording.
Things like tents, sleeping bags, and outdoor supplies, needless to say. The production crew has brought so many staff members, and maybe the entire island has been searched to confirm that there are no dangerous animals. Are they still short of a few tents?
However, Li Wensheng's reaction was far from this situation.
He was very hesitant.
It was not the kind of acting out, where the guests were forced to suffer and ended up failing, or where they lost every time in a battle of wits and courage, and were a bit hesitant and could not afford to lose, because he had seen Li Wensheng in this state before.
Ren Tuo narrowed his eyes and stared at Li Wensheng intently.
He really wanted to understand what Li Wensheng was hesitating about and what was making him angry.
Director Li, who was standing there scratching his head and thinking of a solution, suddenly felt a chill on his back. When he raised his eyes, he met Ren Tuo's gaze.
He could feel that gaze, full of inquiry, doubt, thought and malice, wandering and scanning every detail of his body, like a human X-ray machine, which could not be avoided at all.
In an instant, Li Wensheng's scalp felt numb and the top of his head felt like it was about to explode - no, not just his scalp, his entire body was numb!
Even though I don't know who Ren Tuo is, I can still clearly remember that he tried to kill Shu Yi an hour or two ago. This guy is definitely not a good person!
Li Wensheng had the urge to shout "Mom, I want to go home."
But after all, he had been in the circle for so many years and had experienced a lot of things. After a brief period of paralysis, he quickly calmed down and sobered up.
Haha, there's nothing he can do if he doesn't stay calm. No one can replace him now, and the blame can't be put on Meng Tai who is far away in Changshan.
"Cough cough cough."
Li Wensheng covered his mouth and coughed hard a few times, cleared his throat, and then still maintained his previous fighting cock posture of competing with the guests, snorted and said:
"I am weak and alone, and I can't win an argument with so many of you. Anyway, you are right no matter what you say."
"But don't go too far!"
"Well, Ren Tuo, since you want more lunch for you and Nie Wenjin and two sleeping bags, then it's settled. Don't weigh the fish in your net bag anymore. We only need those fish anyway, so it's worth the effort."
"I agree to both of your requests. Don't push your luck. If you keep changing this and that, what's the point of filming a desert island survival show? We might as well just change the name of this show to Island Vacation!"
"Alright, alright, that's it. Hurry up and weigh the fish for the other guests. Hey, can you help keep track of the crew members over there? I've already told them the exchange standards for lunch. Just tell them what dishes you want to exchange. I'll go discuss it with the kitchen staff first. Let's go!"
He finished the conversation at an extremely fast speed, and with his legs leaving an afterimage, he immediately rushed to the kitchen in the back half of the cabin like flying.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment as they watched Li Wensheng quickly escape.
After a moment, Han Fei sneered:
"Director Li is such a miser. He's afraid that if he stays here for one more second, he'll be fleeced, right? It's like there's a ghost chasing him. Tsk, we're not that unethical."
"Don't you think so, Rentaku?"
Ren Tuo was suddenly called, smiled, nodded and said:
"Yes, we are not that unethical. Director Li is just too cautious."
"But he did it for the show effect. Han Fei, you should be more careful when you deal with him. I think he is not young anymore. What will we do if he gets sick from anger?"
Han Fei shrugged innocently and said no more.
After their conversation ended, the entire deck suddenly became inexplicably quiet. The only sounds around were the waves, the grunting sounds of the crew pulling in fish, and the subtle sound of the sea breeze hitting people's faces.
The atmosphere is a little weird.
Just when everyone was in an awkward moment, a sharp "rustling" sound suddenly rang out. It was the sound of a chair being pushed away and the chair legs rubbing against the ground.
Everyone looked back and found that Lu Siyuan, who had been sitting on the recliner fishing, stood up and kicked the chair away, seemingly venting his anger in this way.
Lu Siyuan glanced at them and said sarcastically:
"You just know how to play tricks. No wonder you can all get along. Tsk."
As he spoke, he turned his back to everyone and walked away towards the cabin.
