Chapter 105 - 104: Is This Where Ji Xizhi Lives?

Chapter 105: Chapter 104: Is This Where Ji Xizhi Lives?

Ji Xizhi saw Zhu Xiu’an rushing over, and she was about to say it wasn’t necessary.

Then she saw Zhu Xiu’an charging forward with great momentum, fiercely grabbing her suitcase with both hands.

He then used all his strength, lifting it up with all his might.

The suitcase, which he thought would be extremely heavy, was as light as an empty shell; Zhu Xiu’an exerted all his strength only to lift an incredibly light suitcase.

Zhu Xiu’an: “?”

Ji Xizhi, confused: “…?”

This time she hadn’t brought any books, just some clothes and a laptop, which she was holding in her hand. The suitcase was supposed to be very light, wasn’t it?

Ji Xizhi was about to ask Zhu Xiu’an what was going on.

Then she saw Zhu Xiu’an’s eyes suddenly redden.

Zhu Xiu’an had carried Ji Xizhi’s suitcase twice, once trending on social media for being mocked, with fans saying he was weak.

The other time was now.

This time, Ji Xizhi had emptied the suitcase so much that it was incredibly light; she must have seen the previous trending topic.

She had intentionally brought such a light suitcase this time to help him regain his honor.

Zhu Xiu’an filled his mind with self-conjecture, carrying Ji Xizhi’s suitcase with tears to the door of the girls’ room.

After putting down the luggage, he said emotionally, “Zhi Zhi, do you have any other tasks to do?!”

Zhu Xiu’an said this, pointed at his room next door, and patted his chest heroically:

“Don’t worry! I drafted the contract myself this time; just sign it directly. If you need anything, I’m here to help anytime!”

Ji Xizhi listened to Zhu Xiu’an’s words, thought for a bit, and then spoke.

“My tasks, I currently have two papers and two reports…”

Ji Xizhi hadn’t even finished her sentence when she saw Zhu Xiu’an flee in an instant.

Zhu Xiu’an: “Sister Zhi Zhi, maybe next time, I’m not worthy!!!”

[Hahaha kid! You ran away so fast! Where did all the strength go when you were just carrying the suitcase? Not washing away the shame?]

[I’m dying of laughter, two papers? Two reports? Is this a task for Zhu Xiu’an??]

[Can the silly dog be a bit more ambitious! Didn’t he say he was going to sue black fans? Get up, for crying out loud!]

[Help——my stomach hurts so much, it really hurts, someone please help me!]

Ji Xizhi watching Zhu Xiu’an stumble and dash out.

The sound stopped, and the latter sentence wasn’t said after all. She shook her head, placed her suitcase properly, then turned around to call Xiao Yuan, first reporting her safety, then asked about the learning progress.

Xiao Yuan on the other end of the phone was already very experienced, and even casually asked a related question to Ji Xizhi, the two of them started exchanging questions and answers.

The fans who followed Ji Xizhi upstairs listened to her conversation with Xiao Yuan, suddenly realizing the second half of what Ji Xizhi had just said to Zhu Xiu’an.

Could it be she wanted Zhu Xiu’an to take the Qing University exam?!!!

–

After setting down the suitcase, Ji Xizhi quickly came back down with her laptop bag.

The room on the second floor was a three-person room without a desk, only three beds with toiletries, so she just brought the laptop down.

Director Wang saw Ji Xizhi coming down and reflexively jumped from his chair, immediately announcing the ultimate goal of the current program episode.

“I believe you’ve all seen the various task completion cards from the program team, this time we will stay in Lishui County for a week. After a week, at the center of Lishui County’s long street, a large stage performance event will be held.”

“That’s right, the guests for this performance event are you, with a total of five programs. All stage setups, scripts, performing personnel, costumes, etc., need to be earned through your efforts over the next few days. On the night of the performance, we will invite villagers from all over Lishui County to watch the show, and it will be live-streamed for online viewers, with live villagers voting. The winning team will receive a one million yuan prize to be used for the subsequent development of Lishui County. I hope everyone works hard!”

It’s quite normal to have stage performances in variety shows.

However, performing for villagers in Lishui County, who don’t quite understand online celebrity culture and are mostly elderly, is not an easy task.

Especially those who have recorded the first episode before, like Zhong Yulu and Zhu Xiu’an, know that to impress the middle-aged and older generations is different from impressing fans, so popular songs and dances can be directly ruled out.

The program team gave a week, saying it’s to earn work points, but it also includes understanding the villagers’ preferences.

This task can be said to be both spectacular and challenging.

The five guests at the scene haven’t even had concert experience, except for Ji Xizhi, and the other four guests are from the TV and film industry. Ji Xizhi is even retired from the scene.

The few guests were suddenly stumped.

“Director Wang, you’ve really pulled off something big here!” Guan Fengyan laughed.

Director Wang frankly replied, “Everyone is contributing to Lishui County!”

“But I also know you five guests are short-handed, this afternoon three guest helpers will arrive on-site to help with the performance, but—all the clothing, food, housing, and transportation of the guest helpers need to be provided by the guests.”

This episode of “Life Experience” was already a fixed guest plus flying guest combination, so the guests had some understanding before coming, and when they first heard about the tasks with help, they were quite happy. But didn’t expect that in the next second, they heard that the guests’ clothing, food, shelter, and transportation also needed to be covered by the fixed guests.

Sheng Yaoyao laughed bitterly, “Director Wang, you’re too ruthless.”

Now, except for Ji Xizhi and Zhu Xiu’an, it’s already hard for the others to earn work points. With three more people, they’ll be left with only the northwest wind to drink!

Director Wang, hands on hips: “You are the hosts, they are guests so of course you have to show some hospitality! It’s very reasonable!”

After saying this, he looked at his watch.

“Time is almost up, the guest helpers will also arrive at the place we got off the bus this morning; you must go to receive these guests.”

Guan Fengyan was stunned for a moment, “Should I drive to pick up more luggage?”

Director Wang: “…” Not exactly what I meant.

[I’m dying of laughter, Director Wang clearly means to exhaust Ji Xizhi’s rental car card!]

[Uncle Guan is too pure hahaha, still actually having the guest helpers come over~]

[Old Wang, you’re really quite mischievous!]

[Hello, bring more, bring more, I’m willing to see Director Wang dig into a bigger hole!]

Director Wang spoke very clearly.

Ji Xizhi didn’t plan to keep it a secret either, and soon handed over the rental car card.

Since the guest helpers’ clothing, food, shelter, and transportation were to be handled collectively, Ji Xizhi naturally had to follow the rules, and a rental car card wasn’t a big deal to her.

Guan Fengyan took the rental car card and went to pick people up.

The remaining guests had to prepare dinner for eight people at home in advance.

Zhong Yulu and Sheng Yaoyao, having gained experience from the morning, directly went out to find tasks, and Zhu Xiu’an also followed them out.

The house was left with only Ji Xizhi.

Although Ji Xizhi had collected plenty of cards in the morning, Director Wang, after counting carefully, found that she didn’t have many types of foods that could be redeemed, and with dinner for eight people, there had to be some dishes, right!

Director Wang specifically set the work points exchange rate for food remarkably high this time, even if Ji Xizhi wanted to exchange, she couldn’t get enough for eight people, let alone the accommodation and other places that also needed work points.

“Ji Xizhi, aren’t you planning to go out and find some food? When the guest helpers come in the evening, as the host, you should have something good prepared, right?”

Director Wang lay on the recliner, a hat covering his head, just as the words left his mouth.

Ji Xizhi hadn’t responded yet.

At the courtyard gate, an aunt with a bucket popped up from who knows where.

The aunt shouted loudly, addressing the reclining Director Wang at the gate, “Old man, is this where Ji Xizhi is staying?”
