Chapter 620 - 620 105 Choices_2
620: Chapter 105: Choices_2 620: Chapter 105: Choices_2 Zhao Hongjin pointed at CEO Cheng’s face with annoyance and complained.
“Is that still playing…
First, I slaved away following you to Hawaii, then I slaved for your variety show, CEO Cheng, you’ve calculated everything too exquisitely.”
Zhao sighed inwardly, it’s no wonder Cheng Daqi was successful.
While others led linear lives, CEO Cheng’s life was multi-threaded, overclocked, and running non-stop, day and night.
“Hahaha, while they do activities, we have fun.
I was already quite focused on this promotional event, so, you know.”
CEO Cheng needed to check out the scene.
Even without an explanation, Zhao Hongjin understood; she wasn’t the naive type of girl.
She was well aware of the stress and responsibilities CEO Cheng had to shoulder.
“Alright, it’s starting, let’s watch first.”
The “Farm It” variety show began with a big cartoon title “Farm It,” followed by an aerial view of the beautiful Minnan landscape.
In Minnan, mountains cover most of the land with a little water and fields in between—the scenery was such that any mountaintop could be cordoned off and turned into a tourist spot in Henan Province or Hebei Province.
From a bird’s-eye view, the mountain mists on a winter morning coalesced into cloud-like white canopies, flowing between the mountains and lakes, creating a dreamlike sensation.
“It looks pretty good, Daqi, where is this?”
“A poor village in Zhangzhou, just watch.”
“A poor village?” Zhao Hongjin wasn’t too familiar with the “Farm It” program.
“Yes, promoting rural rejuvenation and cultural empowerment, also considered a contribution to the revival of the countryside.”
CEO Cheng’s response was commonplace, but Zhao Hongjin thought it was the coolest thing she had heard from Cheng Daqi since she met him.
She said with some admiration.
“Ah, I really want to go there soon.”
Zhao’s thoughts were simple and kind, but CEO Cheng revealed a strange smile.
“Sometimes it’s not bad to be late; look at them.”
On the TV, a few young people with bitter faces were dumped by the nanny van on the side of the village road, then the van sped away.
Indeed, it sped off!
“What should we do now?”
Zhao Ying looked towards Yang Yuan for help.
Zhao Ying was the on-site manager, purely promoted by Cheng Daqi, while the real talent in the first episode was Yang Yuan, who filled the spot meant for the celebrity from Minnan who was supposed to be there.
After all, the conditions this season were harsh, akin to a survival challenge; the big star didn’t want to suffer, so CEO Cheng had to select Yang Yuan instead.
Yang Yuan was a top-tier human being who emerged from Dongxin, almost a one in a thousand talent, and having grown up in the countryside since he was a child, CEO Cheng greatly looked forward to his performance.
Even CEO Cheng had thought of exactly how to promote this episode: “Domineering CEO appears on a variety show, starts off being both father and mother to the staff, and secretly swears never to come again.”
“Our top priority today is to find a place to stay, which actually isn’t hard.
The director group mentioned just now that we’re only five kilometers away from Qingshui Village, so we should be able to walk there.”
Yang Yuan was inwardly complaining, but he maintained a stable facade.
As a former salesman, Yang Yuan didn’t fear walking; not just five kilometers, but even fifteen kilometers wouldn’t scare him.
However, if there was a car available, why walk?
He was a bit annoyed with the director group.
“Boss Yang, but we have two elderly people in our team.
Five kilometers is too far.
How about negotiating with the director group to let the elderly ride instead?”
The speaker was a financial blogger, very shrewd and good at finding talking points.
He subtly built up his persona, making the other internet celebrities instantly envious, which turned them into jealous werewolves.
If they couldn’t have the first piece of meat, they couldn’t fall off the table now that the meal had started, so they all followed the cunning financial blogger and spoke up.
“Elderly men and women are not that resilient….”
“Respecting the old and loving the young should be…”
“I’m not afraid of getting tired, but….”
Zhao Hongjin was watching the reality show filmed by her company, Shanhaiguan, while munching on beef jerky contentedly.
“Hmm, borrowing someone to talk makes sense, letting people walk home shows strength—it just doesn’t seem quite right.”
Zhao’s beef jerky was the kind that guards against craving more, extremely tough to chew, which made even her speech sound strange.
“Just eat, and watch!”
CEO Cheng simply replied and then fell silent with a smile.
Zhao Hongjin gave him a curious look, then turned back to the screen.
“Hey, you all don’t need to say anymore.
When I was young, I could walk eighty li in a day, and five kilometers is just ten li.
You go on about it, making me and Elder Li seem like we can’t move properly.”
It was Jiang Hongyan who could sing and dance, and with a single statement, she silenced everyone.
Elder sister, you could walk eighty li a day?
Are you kidding me?
And so, a group of people began their halting progress on the weed-laden village path—Jiang Hongyan leading the way with Elder Li.
She didn’t want to be underestimated!
Only those who have walked the mountain roads of Minnan really know them; soon enough, several internet celebrities who didn’t like to exercise started gasping for air.
It was the first time the audience had seen this kind of wilderness survival variety show, especially since Shanhaiguan went all out in promotion, attracting a substantial number of viewers today, many of whom were quite mischievous, and they started sending barrages of comments.
“LMAO, Jiang Granny first place, she’s so stable, and Elder Li is steady by her side.
Are these the ‘weak and sickly’ they were talking about?”
“Did you guys notice that Zhao Jiaren is the least breathless?
It makes sense, she’s a dancer, an unconventional kind of sports student.”
“Wrong, you’re all wrong, the steadiest are the pitiful cameramen, lugging equipment while climbing mountains.
Their greatness is invisible to you.”—The one who said this must be a grieving photographer.
