Before Jiang Hexi went to the countryside, Ms. Zhou called him to the cloakroom and measured his measurements.

"The production crew is really something. They said they were going to record the show next Monday, but it was suddenly moved up three days. The tailor was supposed to come over to take your measurements this weekend, but now all your plans are ruined."

"What kind of clothes are you making?"

“Making cheongsam.”

Ms. Zhou looked at her measurements and said with a smile, "Which cheongsam master in Suzhou doesn't have to make an appointment six months to a year in advance to queue up for an embroidered cheongsam?"

Jiang Hexi muttered, "Mom, why did you make me a cheongsam for no reason?"

"Don't ask about this kind of thing. You'll have to wear it when the time comes."

Ms. Zhou was too lazy to talk to her and just went about her business.

Jiang Hexi was extremely grateful that the variety show started recording three days in advance, otherwise if she continued to stay at home, she would be like a Barbie doll and would almost go crazy being manipulated by Ms. Zhou.

She flew from Shenzhen and Hong Kong to Yubei City, then took a bus to the highway and arrived at Canglang Village smoothly at three o'clock in the afternoon.

After entering the village, she did not rush to the stone courtyard to put her luggage, but went to the fields to check the growth of corn and sorghum.

The overall situation is not optimistic.

The corn and sorghum were slow to grow taller and were a little shorter than the crops next door.

It's time to add compound fertilizer.

Jiang Hexi returned to the stone courtyard with a heavy heart, and all the other guests had arrived.

Director Chen announced the last revenue situation as usual:

"As of now, your net assets are still negative. After deducting last month's water, electricity and labor expenses and the income from free-range eggs, your total profit is currently 37,428."

"I just took a look around the fields," Jiang Hexi said to everyone present, "If we don't apply fertilizer to the sorghum and corn, there will be no hope for a good harvest."

Chu Yang suggested: "Why don't we go to Zhu Dali Fertilizer Factory and get some compound fertilizer?"

"If you want to go, go by yourself. I won't go even if you kill me."

Yu Xiangwan firmly objected: "I have been mocked by the entire network once, I cannot be mocked a second time."

The living room fell silent for a moment.

Yan Jie asked Shen Yingyu, "How much money is left in the account?"

"It's more than 20,000 yuan but less than 30,000 yuan. Most of the money was invested in the development project of the ecological wetland park."

“There’s a saying that goes, ‘The first push is strong, the second is weak, and the third is exhausted.’”

Yan Jie made up his mind and said, "This is a rare opportunity. Not only can we not stop the ecological wetland park project, we must continue to invest money in it, and the issue of topdressing must also be put on the agenda."

What he called opportunity was the traffic boost from live variety shows. If they missed this "opportunity", even if an ecological wetland park was built later, without the popularity, the tourism industry in Canglang Village would be difficult to develop.

Xie Wanyi asked, "Where did the money come from?"

Yan Jie: "If you don't have money, just borrow it."

Xie Wanyi: "Who should I ask to borrow it from?"

Yan Jie raised his head with a smile and looked at Director Chen silently.

The remaining six people understood what he meant and turned around in unison, looking at Director Chen expectantly.

Director Chen cursed in his heart and said fiercely, "Why are you looking at me?"

Chu Yang said as a matter of course: "Director, borrow money to farm."

"The production team is so broke that even food is a problem. How can we lend you money?"

Director Chen dismissed them impatiently:

"If you don't have money, find a way to earn it. Don't think you can get money by just talking or saying a few nice words. There is no such thing in the world."

Shen Yingyu took out his cell phone and read out a passage without any emotion:

"The production team sold the broadcasting rights for the second season of the farming variety show to the three major video websites, setting a record for the highest copyright fee for a variety show in history."

"In addition, the program team also authorized the development of farming-related derivative products, including but not limited to snacks, jewelry, cosmetics, commemorative badges, etc., and made a nine-digit profit in the first quarter alone, achieving profits through multiple channels."

"Director Chen, the production team is so rich, and you keep saying you have no money. Is that appropriate?"

The assistant director looked at Director Chen guiltily, and seeing him standing behind the live camera as steady as a rock, he also straightened his back.

Yan Jie said bluntly: "Director Chen, we can only help you in times of emergency, not in poverty. Let me lend you two hundred thousand first."

The living room suddenly became quiet, and then bursts of roars broke out.

Director Chen couldn't stand it anymore and yelled at them:

"You are not good at farming and you are the biggest debtor. Who would not pretend to be poor when seeing you? If you have the guts, go to the village and ask which household dares to lend you money?!"

"You are right even though you don't have money, and you are so arrogant even though you are extorting money. The production team made a little money, not that they owe you money."

"If I ask you, I won't lend you money. If you ask me again, I won't lend you a penny. Don't cry poor and act pitiful to me. If I say I won't lend you money, I won't lend you money even if you kill me."

[Chen is stingy and miserly. He is really going to make me laugh to death. 】

[I never expected that Director Chen, a stingy man, would be so rich...]

[High-end business plans often only require the simplest implementation method: borrowing money to start a business. ]

[The aggressive attitude of the five chaebols shows that they have never asked for money. If they were a little more humble... emmm... this assumption is impossible. ]

[All the staff worked without rest, getting up early and working late every day, and ended up being in debt of one million. If I were Director Chen, I wouldn't dare to lend this money.]

“Is it great to be rich?”

Chu Yang rolled his eyes and groaned, "If you don't want to lend it to me, then don't lend it to me. Why are you shouting so loudly?"

Jiang Hexi suddenly thought of a very serious problem: "I participated in two seasons of farming variety shows, and I didn't get a dime in appearance fees. Do you get any?"

The five chaebols shook their heads and said they had never received any remuneration.

The pressure was on Xie Wanyi, who took the initiative to say, "I am a flying guest and I reduced my salary to participate in the program recording."

Yu Xiangwan immediately asked him: "How much has it dropped?"

Xie Wanyi answered truthfully: "Compared with other variety shows, it has dropped by one third."

Jiang Hexi said arrogantly, "Director Chen, tell me how to solve this problem."

"It is clearly written in your contract that you will participate in the recording of a farming variety show for free."

“Law is the minimum requirement for people.”

"So you want to punish me morally?"

"Director, if your conscience is also troubled," Jiang Hexi further suggested, "borrow 200,000 yuan first."

"No borrowing!"

"borrow--"

Chai Fei's voice clearly overwhelmed Director Chen's loud voice. She walked to the periphery of the crowd and introduced herself in a familiar manner:

"I graduated from China Radio and Television University of Finance and Economics, and later changed my career to become an entertainment program host. I am good at managing finances. Director, please listen to the advice of professionals before making a decision."

Regardless of whether Director Chen agreed or not, she turned around and asked the six guests present:

"Tell me about your project plan. I'll do a risk assessment and then decide whether to lend you money."

Chu Yang didn't understand what was going on. He asked confusedly, "Sister Gossip, do you have the final say on this matter?"

Jiang Hexi slapped him on the arm, waking him up immediately:

"What are you talking about? Don't be disrespectful to the director's wife!"
