Chapter 458: Chapter 456: Searching for Ingredients_1

The production team had the same question as the audience, so they continued to ask:

"Then what book are you reading?"

"..." Xia Ningxing didn’t even give the other person a glance, simply lifting the book to show its title to them.

Production Team: "!!!"

Would it kill you to say a word!

[Wow, Boss Xia is reading a business book, and it’s in pure English.]

[Impressive, such a big shot!]

[Truly an Overbearing Boss! Even the books he reads are so high-level!]

[Baby Xing: Why hasn’t the production team left yet, are they determined to interrupt my serious studying?]

"Xia Ningxing, is there anything you’d like to say on your first night here?" the production team asked tirelessly.

Finally, Xia Ningxing set down the book and pondered for a moment at a forty-five-degree angle.

Just when the production team thought she would launch into an emotional speech, to their surprise...

"No."

Xia Ningxing gave a very straightforward two-word answer.

Production Team: "..."

Then, as if something occurred to her, Xia Ningxing added, "If I really have to say something, then please do me a favor and turn off the light when you leave. Otherwise, I’d have to get out of bed, and that’s quite troublesome!"

Production Team: "!!!"

[Hahahaha! That’s hilarious!]

[Our Boss Xia, a man of few words!]

[I declare that Boss Xia is now my source of joy!]

[Passing by, and I’ve turned into a fan.]

Finally, seeing that Xia Ningxing was ignoring them entirely, the production team left reluctantly to film the next guest.

After they left, Xia Ningxing took back the book and looked up at the window.

It was about to rain.

Then...

For some reason, the corners of Xia Ningxing’s lips couldn’t help but curl up.

Xia Ningxing’s guess was correct; it indeed began to rain.

In the middle of the night, whoosh! A sound!

Rain began pouring down!

The rain grew heavier by the night, and the wind howled fiercely, banging doors and windows with thunderous noise.

Zheng Pianpian was sleeping comfortably in the best room, completely unaware that rainwater was leaking through the roof.

Drip, drip!

The dripping grew more frequent.

Zheng Pianpian finally realized something was wrong, hurriedly opened her eyes, and quickly fumbled for the flashlight beside her, flipping it on immediately.

Then, she saw the huge hole in the roof, rain, and storm pouring in through it.

"Ah!"

Zheng Pianpian’s scream pierced through the stormy night.

Everyone was startled alike.

Only Xia Ningxing appeared calm, as if he had anticipated everything already.

"What happened?"

Zheng’s assistant was the first to arrive at the scene.

Zheng Pianpian jumped off the bed, furious: "Are you blind, can’t you see the roof of my room is broken!"

After berating her assistant, Zheng Pianpian glared at the large hole above her head, her eyes black with anger, "What kind of shitty house is this? Even the roof is broken and it even soaked my bed and blanket!"

With no cameras around, Zheng Pianpian couldn’t be bothered to pretend anymore.

"My dear, don’t be angry, don’t be angry. It’s normal for these rundown country houses to leak when it’s windy and rainy. It’s not a big deal if the blanket is wet. I have a new one, I’ll go get it for you in a bit," the assistant soothed her in a pleasant tone and then helped her tidy up.

Such a commotion had also awakened the people from the production team.

Xia Ningxing and the others crawled out of their warm beds and continued with the filming of the show.

"Is everything okay?" they hurriedly asked.

Now that they were filming the show, no matter what opinions they held inside, on the surface, they had to act harmoniously, pretending that everyone was friendly and close like good friends.

At this point, Zheng Pianpian had already resumed her pretense, biting her lip and shaking her head, "I’m fine, I’m really sorry for disturbing your rest."

Elder Zhou shook his head, "No problem."

Xia Ningxing and the others also shook their heads, "It doesn’t matter."

At this moment, Zheng Pianpian’s assistant couldn’t help but ask, "Director, this house is definitely not fit for living in now, so where will Pianpian stay tonight?"

This was indeed a problem!

After thinking for a while, the production team said, "There’s another vacant house at the northern end. For now, Zheng Pianpian, could you make do with staying there, okay? We’ll get someone to fix this house tomorrow."

"No problem, as long as I have a place to stay," Zheng Pianpian said gratefully, as if she didn’t care about the living conditions.

In front of the camera, Zheng Pianpian would never let her image collapse no matter what.

But when she arrived at the house on the north side, her expression turned a bit ugly.

The house was small and narrow, with walls that were peeling and crumbling.

It was even worse than the houses Xia Ningxing and the others were staying in.

What was fatal was that the house was near a pigsty, and if one paid attention, one could smell a faint odor of pig manure in the air.

Zheng Pianpian’s face turned even uglier immediately.

The thought of a sleeping place that smelled like feces was just too disgusting!

But she had just said any place to stay would do, so she definitely couldn’t go back on her word now, otherwise, she would be slapping her own face and exposing her pretentiousness!

By then, the audience would surely tear her apart!

But she really couldn’t bear such a terrible environment!

The assistant, seeing what she was thinking and fearing she would act on impulse, immediately whispered in her ear, "Zheng, just endure it for one night. Didn’t the director say they will fix the house tomorrow? It should be fixed by tomorrow."

Zheng Pianpian thought it made sense, so she nodded and forced herself to stay.

But nobody expected...

The next day, after the production team had the house repaired, somehow, it seemed that someone dropped a cigarette butt, which caused the wooden house to catch fire.

Now, Zheng Pianpian could only continue to live in the narrow house that smelled of pig manure!

Thinking that there was still a week of filming left, Zheng Pianpian was furious.

Her living conditions were now the worst!

If she had known this would happen, she would have never covertly manipulated things to make the production team assign this house to her.

But talking about it now was pointless.

She had no choice but to endure.

The accident also caused the filming of the show to stop for a day.

It was not until the third day that the filming continued.

Early in the morning, the director started speaking through a megaphone, "Everybody, from now on you will have to prepare your own meals every day, and sometimes you’ll have to complete some tasks as per the show’s requirements."

"Today’s first task is to head to the mountain behind you to find today’s ingredients!"

"We have to go up the mountain to find ingredients? It seems quite difficult!" Zheng Pianpian blinked, looking troubled, but then made an encouraging gesture,

"No matter, nothing in the world is difficult for one who sets his mind to it. I believe we can definitely find the ingredients!"
