I'm crazy, don't mess with me. I just love to pretend to be crazy, remember that.

The comments section was in complete chaos.

Si Qian had lost all her strength and means.

Hearing Pei Li sighing, Si Qian hugged her pillow and didn't want to talk to him anymore.

"Someone as poor as me has such a narrow perspective that I think having money means I have no worries at all."

Director Wu, who had just entered, felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing the words: "I will sue you for the loan!"

I've thought about it for five minutes, but I still can't figure out what troubles I'd have if I had money.

[Step back, everyone! Once I have money, I'll just pretend to be starved for love!]

[They say they're going to compete with you rich guys every day, it's hilarious, they don't even know anyone who's capable of competing with them.]

Li Chuanze stood there high and mighty, speaking without any sense of detachment: "Money is just an external thing. Compared to money, I think talent is more important."

Everyone chuckled, as if they had heard a joke.

Rich people don't have love, so poor bastards like them do?

"Okay, okay!"

Si Qian said "good" three times and reached out her hand to Li Chuanze.

"Give me the money you don't want; do what you want to love yourself."

Li Chuanze snorted coldly and turned his head away.

Lu Yao stepped forward to end the conversation: "Everyone, please sit down. I ordered chilled perfumed lime drinks, which will be served shortly."

Standing off-camera, Director Zheng, his face bruised and swollen from the beating, timely reminded everyone: "Remember to do some promotional talking for our sponsors later, don't forget!"

Sheng Chi gave an OK sign downwards.

Staff members handed the guests product brochures meant for promotional purposes to their sponsors.

Si Qian glanced through it briefly, and wow, she was shocked by what she found.

The entire production team, from the refrigerator to the sunflower seeds and peanuts, and even the hamburger they just ate, was sponsored by the brand. Apart from Ji Mingxuan and Gu Shiyu, the other eight guests were each responsible for verbally promoting a product.

Several male guests brought up the ice water that Lü Yao had just ordered and distributed it to the staff and guests present.

"Teacher Si, here you go."

When Ji Mingxuan came over, he stuffed the oil paper bag he was holding into Si Qian's hands.

Even without direct contact, you can still feel a wave of heat coming from the air.

It's roasted chestnuts.

She looked up, about to see what Ji Mingxuan was up to, but met the boy's clear and unwavering gaze, which moved her deeply.

"I just ordered takeout, it's still hot, Teacher Si, please try it."

[Oh wow? A caring older sister and a younger, adorable guy, this couple is interesting!]

[A private tutor and a seemingly innocent but actually cunning student—it's quite a morally questionable pairing.]

Sorry, Mr. Pei, this is just a tiny bit of romance for me!

[President Pei (who has turned evil)]

Si Qian picked up a chestnut that felt scalding hot to the touch, and was about to bite into it—

Ji Mingxuan's eyes flickered almost imperceptibly, and his hands unconsciously clenched, revealing his expectation and urging.

Eat quickly!

Seeing this, Si Qian suddenly put it down again.

Ji Mingxuan was somewhat surprised to see that she had put it down again.

Just as he was about to ask, Si Qian gave the chestnuts to Fu Xiao, who was closest to her.

"Everyone should try this gift from my younger brother!"

The latter looked visibly uncomfortable: "Everyone... be careful, it's hot..."

Fu Xiao casually picked up a chestnut, controlling the game with one hand, and used her free hand to put the chestnut in her mouth, then gently bit it—

boom!

A deafening sound, like a firecracker, exploded in Fu Xiao's mouth.

Then a scream was heard, and Fu Xiao covered her mouth, tears almost streaming down her face.

This startled Liu Ye, who was playing games with him nearby, and he rushed over to check on the situation.

"Teacher Fu! Teacher Fu, what's wrong!?"

Others gathered around when they saw this.

Fu Xiao, whose head was still ringing from the explosion, sat up and removed her hand from her mouth.

“Hmm %↑? %!@*”

Liu Ye didn't understand: "What?"

Fu Xiao spat out the broken porcelain veneer with a "waa".

"I didn't tie it..."

As he spoke, there was a slight lisp in his mouth.

However, there was nothing seriously wrong with her overall health; she was just burned.

He also lost a denture.

After quickly treating Fu Xiao's mouth wound, Si Qian turned around and confronted her.

“Mingxuan, your roasted chestnuts are still uncut. Where did you buy them? If people didn’t know, they would think you were going to blow up our bastard brother.”

Pei Li, who had been watching the whole thing, patted Ji Mingxuan on the shoulder twice, saying meaningfully, "Don't worry about gifts this year, just give roasted chestnuts, and two of your relatives will be killed."

We'll send some over to his father later.

Si Qian gave a thumbs up: "The drop rate is unbeatable!"

Send some to Pei Li's stepmother for the New Year as well.

I'm relieved to know Fu Xiao is alright; it won't reduce my merit points.

[A legal civilian bomb—an unopened roasted chestnut.]

The chestnuts melted in her mouth, and Fu Xiao was blown away by them.

After a long pause, Fu Xiao's mouth was still numb: "How did this chestnut explode?"

Having failed to trick Si Qian, Ji Mingxuan looked away and said, "This is incredibly delicious."

The staff brought over sample packs from the brand and placed them on the table; they would be needed for the product announcement later.

Si Qian opened a packet of dried plums and was about to eat them.

Pei Li asked, somewhat puzzled, "Didn't you say you wanted to manage your physique like a military regimen?"

"Yup!"

Si Qian immediately held up the bag of dried plums in her hand and began her promotional message to the camera: "Veteran Brand Dried Plums, men who eat them will become men, women who eat them will become women. Be a good person, make dried fruit with your own hands, look for Veteran Brand!"

As she spoke, she picked up a dried plum and popped it into her mouth.

In an instant, Si Qian's face contorted, tears welling up in her eyes, but she still stubbornly gave the camera a thumbs up.

"Sweet...hiss...especially sweet...hiss..."

There's a song that goes, "Your sweet smile is like a dried plum~"

【The Actor's Sense of Belief】

【Wait, won't the brand have any objections?】

This ad is so Indian, all I can think about now is that it makes men men...

[A high-stakes gamble for the brand.]

I'm determined to find out what this is all about today!

Sheng Chi picked at his ear and said in a disgusted tone, "Stop hissing, if it's sour, just put it down."

"Not at all sour. Actually, my true form is a Western Diamondback Rattlesnake. I just revealed my true form and couldn't help but hiss twice!"

In just ten minutes, the dried fruit sold out instantly.

Off-screen, Director Zheng's face turned completely green.

Before he could calm down, another commotion came from the living room.

Pei Li rode a small, lightweight scooter, streaking across the frame like a streak of sparks and lightning.

Clang clang clang~

"The young lady has arrived! Everyone get out of the way!"

"I'll give you a spectacular exit, and thank you for your great kindness!"

Accompanied by loud music, he suddenly braked on the spot—

"Flip the motorcycle!"

Tashi Delek!

Director Zheng clutched his chest and took a deep breath: "What is this...?"

Pei Li: "It's a car provided by the brand."
