After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.

When the crowd heard about the mystery guest, their reaction was lukewarm; they merely expressed their polite anticipation.

Only Ye Wanyin was truly looking forward to it. She wanted to break the current situation, which required the addition of new forces.

Whether this power is good or bad, she is determined to make use of it.

"Anyway, let's not play any games today, okay?" Pei Canxing confirmed again before saying he was going back to take a shower.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It's better to have fewer awkward little games. Although they knew Zhu Song probably enjoyed making others feel awkward... it wasn't so fun when it happened to them.

Sheng Hanyu and Pan Hongyu talked about the sheepfold.

Deng Lingxuan wasn't too keen on going along, but she also felt that it couldn't be worse than today's pigsty. Besides, she'd been feeling these past couple of days that it might be easier to create good show content if everyone were together.

Although she didn't really understand image management, Ji Wanyou praised her, so she felt that she had done a pretty good job!

After everyone had discussed and agreed on the plan, they all went back to their rooms.

Ye Sanqing glanced at Sheng Hanyu at the door, as if to say, "Are you coming for tea again today?"

Sheng Hanyu received the look and smiled, "I won't bother Master Ye today. We have a lot of work to do tomorrow, so everyone should get some rest. Good night."

"Okay, good night." Ye Sanqing then said good night and went back.

Ye's group didn't get any points today, so Ye Wanyin still had to sleep on the bed board without blankets.

Taking advantage of Ye Sanqing's departure, and finally with no one stopping her from speaking, she shared her thoughts about the day on camera.

"...I hope my sister can see my efforts. Everyone should also try to live each day to the fullest! Goodnight, everyone!" This was the closing sentence.

[...As long as I'm not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed.]

[This woman is really good at talking nonsense; no wonder Ye Sanqing told her to shut up...]

[Waaaaah, Wanwan was wronged, waaaah, I hate all of you!]

Oh, hate all you want.

The next day, Ye Sanqing practiced boxing as usual, exercised with others, and then returned to have breakfast.

By this time, supplies were relatively plentiful, and since we would be working together soon, Pan Hongyu took the initiative to cook noodles for everyone, with each person's bowl containing fish pieces, meatballs, eggs, and vegetables.

Soon everyone set off, first going to Old Zhou's house to meet up. When they arrived, Old Zhou was already waiting in the yard, with three electric tricycles loaded with hay next to him.

Seeing that his room hadn't been cleaned in a long time, Ye Wanyin wanted to seize the opportunity to show off, so she said, "Uncle Zhou, your room needs cleaning. How about I help you clean it up?"

Old Zhou waved his hand, "No need, no need, that's not important. We need to finish the important business first before talking about these trivial things."

“Okay, so what are Uncle Zhou’s plans?” Sheng Hanyu asked.

"Then you have to make the arrangements!" Old Zhou said. "How could I dare to make arrangements for you!"

"Okay, then I'll make the arrangements?" Seeing that no one had any other opinions, Sheng Hanyu asked Lao Zhou about the specific tasks for today and began to make arrangements.

First, we need to transport hay up there, as this is the time to prepare hay for the sheep. We also need to collect straw and other materials to line the sheepfold.

This job is purely transportation and physical labor, it's quite tough, and you won't be with other people, so you might not get much screen time.

"I'll do it," Ji Wan said. He knew it was better to step forward at this point.

"Ah, Uncle does this, then what about me?" Deng Lingxuan quickly asked.

If we weren't going to act together, there would have been no point in coming here today!

"How about this, Brother Ji, do it for one day, and we'll take turns the next day?" Sheng Hanyu knew that this job couldn't be finished in one day, because during the dry season, they needed to prepare a lot of hay, but the road up the mountain was only wide enough for a small tricycle to go in, so they would have to make many trips to transport enough hay.

"That's a great idea! Everyone should take turns trying it!" Zhu Song, who had come along today, said upon hearing this, since all the guests were there.

“Okay, next one, this one requires some skill, deworming the sheep.” Sheng Hanyu continued, “Specifically, it involves giving the sheep a medicated bath, right, Uncle Zhou?”

Old Zhou nodded in agreement and added, "It should have been done a long time ago, but it rained recently. We can only treat the insects when the weather is good, otherwise the fur won't dry!"

Ye Sanqing became interested upon hearing this and raised his hand, saying, "Shall I give it a try?"

"One person has to herd the sheep, and the other has to hold them down," Old Zhou said again.

"I'll herd the sheep!" Deng Lingxuan thought it sounded fun and raised her hand to try.

“Okay, then we need someone to receive the fodder and move things.” Sheng Hanyu looked at Yin Xiangming.

“I…can!” Yin Xiangming thought for a moment. He should be responsible for unloading and moving things. The rest were mostly women, so it was reasonable for him to do the moving.

"Cousin, would you prefer to clean or check the bedding?" Sheng Hanyu asked.

"We have to clean first before we can do the rest, right? I'll clean first, and we can look at the laying out later," Pei Canxing said.

“One person might not be enough, let’s get another one!” Old Zhou said.

"I'll do it!" Ye Wanyin didn't want to clean at all; it sounded like dirty work. But she couldn't let go of the chance to be alone with Pei Canxing.

Pan Hongyu, who was about to raise her hand, silently lowered it.

“…Alright then.” Sheng Hanyu gave Pei Canxing a look that said, “Good luck to you,” but he also noticed Pan Hongyu and said, “Teacher Pan, there’s another job that you might have to do.”

"What kind of work is it?"

“There are pregnant ewes that need a health check. Would you like to help Uncle Zhou with that?” Sheng Hanyu said. This task was relatively easy because Old Zhou was there to help, so he specifically left it for Pan Hongyu.

“Okay, this suits me!” Pan Hongyu nodded in agreement.

"I'll lay out the things last; we'll be on the go until then," Sheng Hanyu said. "Alright, let's go!"

[Xiao Sheng really planned everything perfectly. What did he study abroad?]

Hmm... someone from a family like his should probably study management?

Wasn't it explicitly stated?

There's nothing we can do about it; he didn't have Weibo before, and this account was only recently opened.

This has little to do with what you study; I can arrange that too.

[Wrong. Being able to make arrangements is a minor matter; the real skill lies in making arrangements so that no one has any objections.]

[You have the nerve to say that? Giving yourself a break? Isn't it just a way to avoid doing any work?]

[Heh, I advise you not to speak too soon. Didn't he seem a little lazy a few days ago? Don't judge him based on just one sentence.]

I wonder how many sheep Uncle Zhou has?

The group drove their tricycles up the mountain.

The journey wasn't very long, but the mountain road was quite narrow, allowing only one car to pass at a time, and it was also quite winding, so it took about half an hour to reach the destination.

Before anyone even got out of the car, they saw a big yellow dog standing at the gate of the yard, scratching at the door.

"Woof woof woof!" The dog saw so many people and, not knowing what was going on, barked loudly.

Ye Wanyin feigned fear at the opportune moment, "Ah, such a big dog, I'm a little scared..."

"...Don't you know there are dogs?" Sheng Hanyu looked at her with great surprise.

Ye Wanyin: "Huh? I didn't say there was a dog, did I?"

"...Sheep need dogs to herd them, isn't that common sense?" Sheng Hanyu continued to look at him with surprise; he was genuinely speechless.

"Then you're wrong. You didn't even know she's someone who lacks common sense!" Ye Sanqing laughed.

"Oh, then I'm sorry," Sheng Hanyu said casually.

"Don't even mention Wanwan, I didn't know either! Besides, this dog doesn't look like a sheepdog!" Deng Lingxuan added to Ye Wanyin's defense.

"Dahuang doesn't look like one, because it's a mixed breed," Old Zhou explained. "Don't let its appearance fool you; it's just as clever as any other dog when herding sheep! Don't worry, Dahuang is very intelligent and won't attack you."

As Lao Zhou got out of the car, he opened the courtyard gate and calmed Da Huang down.

Seeing Big Yellow wagging its tail so vigorously, everyone knew it was a friendly dog.

Big Yellow came over and circled around the group, sniffing them as it went. Then, seemingly agreeing to let them pass, it ran to the gate of the courtyard and barked a few times.

"Big Yellow says you're welcome!" Old Zhou said with a smile, leading everyone inside.

"This is the sheepfold," Old Zhou said, pointing to a plot of land about 200 square meters. He could see several sheds built on the flat ground, and from where they were, they could already smell the sheep and hear them bleating.

"Wow, what a huge place!" Ye Wanyin could tell at a glance that they, as non-professionals, would never be able to finish cleaning this place in a day.

That's great! I can spend several days with Canxing!

Ye Wanyin forgot again that the shifts would be rotating the next day.

According to their assigned tasks, everyone quickly got to work.

As a result, Deng Lingxuan messed up right from the start. The sheep wouldn't listen to her at all. If she wanted to go east, the sheep would go west and even tried to knock her over. Luckily, Da Huang came over in time to stop her.

Haha, I laugh out loud every time I see Deng Lingxuan being chased by animals.

Is she even capable? Did she choose this just because she thinks it's fun? She might drag Master Ye down later.

The way Big Yellow looked at her seemed to say, "Human, what's going on?"

[Big Yellow is great, let's make Big Yellow into emojis]

Old Zhou prepared the medicine and taught her for a while before Deng Lingxuan could barely get the hang of it.

Big Yellow squatted down beside her, watching her with great concern, and every now and then herded the sheep that tried to escape back into the flock.

Once the shed was empty, Pei Canxing immediately took his tools and went inside to clean, without saying a word to Ye Wanyin.

Damn it, if he had known Ye Wanyin would come over while he was cleaning, he would have chosen to lay something out!

"Brother Pei, could you teach me how to clean?" Ye Wanyin asked, taking the opportunity to approach Pei Canxing when everyone was outside.

"If you can't clean, why did you take this job? We can find someone else now." Pei Canxing's tone was very polite, but Ye Wanyin could hear the indifference in it.

"Okay, I was just afraid of not doing a good job and dragging everyone down." Ye Wanyin pouted, expressing her grievance.

Pei Canxing didn't even glance at her, and pulled out a mask to put on.

Is she stupid? Cleaning without wearing a mask? No wonder Ye Sanqing wouldn't let her speak...

Seeing that this tactic was ineffective, Ye Wanyin had no choice but to reluctantly start working, glancing at Pei Canxing from time to time, trying to find a moment to make eye contact and start a conversation.

What is she looking at? She's just staring at her own shoes.

[Hehe, it's all about men, confirmed, she's a woman who only has eyes for men.]

[It's funny how she has to take the jobs, even if she doesn't know how.]

Who on earth is falling for her act? Can I examine the structure of your brains?

[Wanwan already said she was afraid of dragging everyone down!]

If you're afraid of being a burden, then don't take the job in the first place, are you crazy?

[Taking the star away, no dates allowed]

Wow, your house is still there! We were quiet for the past few days, and we thought no one was coming to visit.

【How could that be? We're just worried that talking too much will spoil the viewing experience. This isn't our brother's personal variety show.】

【Your family is doing quite well. I was watching another show last time, and someone mentioned a celebrity, but I didn't even know them】

[He helped move something, and the comments section was flooded with praise; any little movement was met with praise. Wow, if you didn't know better, you'd think it was some documentary about a disabled person's indomitable spirit!]

"...What you're saying sounds familiar. That's why I dropped the show. There were so many people on it, but all I saw in the comments was theirs."

[It's disgusting how fandoms have become like this. They wouldn't praise their own child like this.]

Thankfully, this variety show is relatively quiet; only a few people are causing a ruckus.

[...] Ye Wanyin's fans silently retracted the words of praise they wanted to say.
