Can I live with you [entertainment circle]

While Zhao Xiaotao and Cheng Xi were announcing the good news, Zhao Yingkai also saw his ranking on the new star list.

He called his agent with a dark face: "Brother Yan, did the company buy fans for Cheng Xi?"

The questioning came fiercely, Brother Yan only uttered two words: "No."

"Then how did he become popular? Why did he rank ahead of me? Don't tell me he relies on himself!"

"He's relying on himself," Brother Yan said in a stern tone, "I think he's right in saying that newcomers should focus on themselves first, and then they are qualified to compete with others if they can stand up for themselves. Don't keep staring at him."

It's not that Zhao Yingkai is willing to stare, the two debuted at the same time, and they have been compared by netizens, big V, music bloggers and so on.What's sad is that he can't compare in appearance and stage, as if he has been living in the shadow of Cheng Xi.

After finally finding an opportunity, Cheng Xi somehow made a comeback.

Why?

Seeing that he was silent, Brother Yan told impatiently: "Clean up quickly, I will pick you up to meet the producer in a while. Remember, don't do any more nonsense. The last time you tweeted about Cheng Xi, I was killed by the boss." Cursed for a long time. I remember I told you that he is not something you can afford, so don't make trouble for me, OK?"

Zhao Yingkai wanted to refute "it's great that he has a financial backer", but before he could say it, Brother Yan had already hung up the phone.

Look, even his manager is leaning towards Cheng Xi.

Zhao Yingkai's face was clouded.

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, the hand holding the phone was bruised, his fingers were shaking, and he typed a few words:

@赵颖凯V: I can’t do enough strength, I can only rely on being funny to get out of the position [求手]

After an afternoon of recuperation, the guests recovered a lot. After breakfast, the program team continued to release tasks.

"Ding~ With everyone's help, Alice and Carl's steadfast love finally moved Alice's family and agreed to their marriage. The excited couple couldn't wait to share the joy with their companions and decided to entertain all their friends in the castle. Next , guests are invited to work in small groups in the town to raise funds for the party."

"Ding~ It is known that the number of participants is about 20, and the required funds are at least 500 pounds. At the same time, this task will be scored according to the contribution of each group. Three 10 points. I wish you all a wonderful working trip~”

Only then did everyone understand why Director Liu said he was not allowed to use his own money when the recording started, so he was waiting here.Send guests out to work, they want to get it!

But the current variety shows are like this, they are keen to toss the guests to death.After all, audiences are tired of watching conventional routines, and they are more willing to appreciate the embarrassing appearance of high-ranking stars.

Xu Lichu was shocked: "What kind of nonsense are you talking about? Could a part-time job trip be wonderful?"

Director Liu smiled and said, "Young people should learn to have fun while suffering."

At this time, Carl's voice came from the communicator, and his tone was gloating: "Oh, my dear friends, I'm so sorry to have to trouble you to work for the banquet."

"I'm sorry, so I'll call it myself," Cheng Xi tapped the communicator, "How did you become a baron, and you don't even have 500 pounds?"

Carl: "..."

Director Liu: "..."

Carl, who was sent out to anger people, fell silent.

Hearing that the NPC was deflated, Tao Shiyan couldn't help chuckling.

"Okay, okay, stop making trouble," Shen Yi asked Director Liu, "Where are we going to work, do we need to find it ourselves?"

"No, we have already contacted the places where everyone will work. Next, please send a team member from each of the three groups to draw the places to work. Now the one with the highest score is... Group C, and group C will be drawn first."

Hearing that Tao Shiyan wanted Cheng Xi to go, Cheng Xi was one step ahead of him: "Brother, go!"

Tao Shiyan froze for a moment and said, "Are you calling me?"

Are you deaf? Don't tell me who you are.Cheng Xi nodded repeatedly, with a few locks of fluffy red hair hanging on his forehead, looking inexplicably docile.

"I'm so unlucky, my brother's luck must be invincible!"

"..." Tao Shiyan frowned and went to draw lots.

When he walked away, Shen Yi leaned over and said, "Cheng'er, when did you two have such a good relationship?"

Since changing rooms, she and Cheng Xi have become much closer.We usually record shows together, and she could feel that Cheng Xi and Tao Shiyan were at odds, but she was very confused when they became "brothers" in a blink of an eye.

Cheng Xi said: "Teacher Tao was originally older than me, so it's normal to call him brother."

Shen Yi thought to himself that this was indeed the case, but he also felt that something was weird, and after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't figure it out.

At this time, Tao Shiyan came back from Director Liu, and Shen Yi turned his attention to him: "What did you smoke?"

"Working in a restaurant."

Cheng Xi: "..."

I asked you to smoke, so you just smoke a plate?

He scolded "Pujiezi" in his heart, and turned to Tao Shiyan with a fake smile: "Brother, it's hard work."

Immediately after Group A, Xu Lichu received the note with an expression as if he had eaten shit.When I asked, it turned out that I was going to work on a construction site.When I arrived in Mengbai, it was not much better than working on a construction site - helping the townspeople dig potatoes.

Cheng Xi silently took back Pujiezi, at least he didn't have to face the loess and his back to the sky.

After all the draws were completed, the guests boarded the car and went to their respective part-time jobs.On the way, Director Liu announced the salary of part-time workers: 10 pounds per person per day in restaurants, 13 pounds per person per day at construction sites, and 12 pounds per person per day for digging potatoes. The part-time work will last for three days.

Xu Lichu was still unhappy about going to the construction site, but he finally laughed when he heard the words: "Hey, it's hard work, but this time we have a chance to win the first place!"

"Don't be in a hurry to be happy," Cheng Xi said, "You calculate the total."

"Total... the six of us can get a total of 118 pounds in three days," Xu Lichu said in a "reckless" voice, "but the task requires 500 pounds!"

The rest of the people also realized that if they didn't find a way to get some more money and bring the total up to [-], no one would be able to win this task.

Sure enough, it's not just as simple as being tired.

"...Go to the dog program group!"

Amidst the insults to the program group, everyone got out of the car one after another, and group C arrived at the restaurant at the end.

Unlike what they imagined, they worked in a relatively orthodox western restaurant, which had higher requirements for dress and service.The advantage is that there are few customers and there are tips. The disadvantage is that if there are customer complaints, corresponding penalties will be imposed.

After explaining the precautions, the boss said: "We now need an orderer and a food delivery person, how do you allocate them?"

Although the relationship with his father was relatively stiff since he was a child, it did not prevent Cheng Xi from growing into a standard rich second generation.

He procrastinated and raised his hand: "Let me pass the food."

Tao Shiyan saw his reluctance: "Go and order."

"No," Cheng Xi shook his head, "How can I let my brother do the hard work of serving dishes? My brother holds the script in his hand, if it gets hot—"

Before he could finish speaking, the man in front of him disappeared, leaving only a back.

... The one surnamed Tao must be embarrassed, Cheng Xi secretly admired - I'm so flattering for a second!

The working hours always pass quickly, and before you know it, the first day of part-time work is officially over.

On the way back to the castle, Cheng Xi was paralyzed into a thin piece, his arms were sore and weak, and he regretted giving up the ordering work to Tao Shiyan.

Damn, the food passer is not a human at all, okay? !

He sneaked a glance at the nonchalant man beside him, decided to charge him some interest, and found the WeChat group organized by the "Journey" program group.

This group is mainly for notification of filming time and other trivial matters. There are not only guests and program staff, but also assistant managers of artists. There are many people talking, so they generally don't chat, and there are only a few messages in the group.

Cheng Xi opened the group members and searched around, but couldn't find a WeChat account that looked like Tao Shiyan.

He asked Zhao Xiaotao: [Did Tao not join the group? 】

Fatty: [Which group? The one from Journey? 】

Orange: [um]

Fatty: [He didn't enter.With his coffee position, he will not join the group blindly, and he is easy to be harassed and sell information]

Cheng Xi commented: [Pretending to be B. 】

Fat Pang: [If you want to add him on WeChat, just ask him directly, why bother with those twists and turns]

directly?Cheng Xi moved his fingers and sneered.

The boy next to him was paralyzed too peacefully. Tao Shiyan knew that he was really tired, and wanted to ask if he needed to change jobs tomorrow.After all, this is a team task, and he should bear the pressure for the team.

Turning his head, due to the height difference, he accidentally saw the text on the other party's screen: [The camera is filming, I am afraid that if I ask Tao Shiyan for WeChat, the audience will mistakenly think that I am flattering him]

"..." Tao Shiyan turned his head, pretending he didn't see it.

Naturally, I didn't see Cheng Xi's next sentence: [I will curry favor with him?joke! 】

The restaurant closed late, and when they returned to the castle, the sofa in the living room on the first floor was already lying down.

"You guys are back," Xu Lichu said weakly, "Is there much to gain?"

Cheng Xi said: "30 pounds, 20 pounds for wages and 10 pounds for tips. How about you?"

"It was 26 yuan for moving bricks, and I was given 10 yuan for the noon shift for the foreman, and now the total is 36 yuan."

"We are 44." No need to ask, Shen Yi explained by himself, "I gave 20 pounds more for picking tomatoes."

In this way, the harvest on the first day is 110.Much higher than expected, but the distance to 500 is still far away.

Prince Han frowned: "There are two days left, we can't go on like this, we have to find a way, or..."

Everyone also had ideas, and the room was instantly filled with discussions.

Cheng Xi communicated too much with customers when serving food during the day, and his throat was uncomfortable, so he listened from the sidelines.Tao Shiyan is not a talkative character, and he didn't participate.

When Shen Yi came back from South Korea, he naturally understood the rule that not talking means not having a camera. After discussing for a while, he took the initiative to cue Cheng Xi: "Do you have any good ideas?"

Cheng Xi thought for a moment, and was about to speak, but Meng Bai said, "Xiao Cheng probably has no idea. For him, it's better not to finish the task than to finish it."

If the task cannot be completed and everyone has no points, then Group C can keep the first position, and even those who know tactics will deliberately make less money to make the task fail.

Meng Bai covered his mouth and shrugged his shoulders when he spoke, and his tone of action was no different from joking.Cheng Xi frowned, "I didn't mean to be lazy, I have been following me since the shooting, you can ask him."

"Xiao Cheng'er, aren't you angry?" Meng Bai was surprised, "I was just joking just now, if you don't want to listen, I apologize to you."

"Okay," Cheng Xi said bluntly, "Apologize."

"..."

Unexpectedly, the other party answered so smoothly, Meng Bai bowed his head and remained silent for a while.

When he looked up again, his eyes were red, which was really pitiful.

They were arguing very quickly just now, and the rest of the people only reacted at this time. Prince Han hurried to Meng Bai's side and comforted him softly.

Shen Yi tried to be a peacemaker: "Don't cry, it's just a task, don't make it unhappy."

Meng Bai's voice choked up: "I really didn't mean it, Xiao Cheng, don't blame me."

"Yes," Prince Han chimed in, "Xiaobai's character is like this, Cheng'er, don't be as knowledgeable as him."

Cheng Xi was completely speechless, it was obvious that Meng Bai had wronged him, how could he bully Meng Bai?

He has a bad temper, so he rolled up his sleeves and wanted to have a "good" talk with Meng Bai.When I opened my mouth, I remembered that Zhao Xiaotao said that they have hope of turning around now, and try not to cause trouble in the near future.

Shut up again.

"Woooo..." Meng Bai's twitching became more and more intense, and Cheng Xi could only listen but couldn't say it was terribly upset, his lips were tightly pursed, and a trace of grievance was unconsciously stained in his eyes.

The scene remained in a stalemate for a few seconds, until the man who had been silent all of a sudden said, "Don't ask about the camera, Cheng Xi is not lazy."

Tao Shiyan got up and rushed to Cheng Xi and said, "Come on, come back to the room with me."
