Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback! - Chapter 146

Chapter 146: Chapter 146: Flying Guest Exposed!

Director Sun: “???”

Jiang Li smiled and said, “In the past, the show crew collected our good scores before providing us with ingredients. But most of the dishes tonight are made by the villagers. The fish soup you just drank was also from a fish given to me by a villager. There’s no such thing as a free lunch, not to mention we contributed to the dinner too, shouldn’t everyone get some points?”

Director Sun: “!!!”

He stiffly put down his bowl and chopsticks, and after a moment of silence, he slowly spoke.

“Xiao Li, that’s not how the rules are used.”

Jiang Li nonchalantly said, “But the crew didn’t set any rules stating that we need to manage the director’s meals either.”

“Hahahahaha, I’m dying of laughter! I’ve only seen directors reducing the guests’ points before; this is the first time I’ve seen a guest reduce the director’s.”

“Good job, Jiang Li! When Director Sun was filming that countryside variety show, he really tormented my Xiaxia; now I finally see him being tormented by someone else.”

“Sister Li really knows how to exploit loopholes in rules, love it.”

The nearby villagers, who had been curiously watching since Director Sun sat down, couldn’t help themselves after hearing their conversation.

They had long heard that the show crew not only made these celebrities work like farmers but even withheld food from them. Even when it was just to experience life, it shouldn’t be this severe.

“Director, I think Master Jiang has a point, this meal is provided by the people of Chixia Village because they see them going hungry every day. You guys hide away every day eating and drinking luxuriously. Now you come over to freeload. You should at least show some gratitude, right?” Aunt Ying hurriedly said.

Director Sun’s face heated up.

.Co

It seemed like he’d have to avoid dining with them in the future.

“That’s right, Teacher Sun,” the village chief added, feeling guilty about having had to expel Jiang Li earlier. He seized the opportunity to speak on her behalf, “Look at these kids, they’ve only been here two days and they look all pale and scrawny. Anyone who didn’t know better might think Chixia Village is a harsh and impoverished place. In my opinion, why don’t you give each a few dozen of those good scores, it’d cheer the kids up.”

Director Sun was startled.

Dozens of points?! That’s way too generous!

But as more and more eyes turned towards him, Director Sun felt embarrassed and could only pretend to cough while gesturing frantically to the assistant director and assistant.

However, they all deliberately looked away.

It was fine when they ignored them during the meal, but now they thought of them when they couldn’t save face. They didn’t want to be the bad guys!

Helplessly, Director Sun had to agree.

“Okay, okay, you’ve all been serious these past days, I’ll give everyone two good scores.”

“Yay!!!” Everyone except Jiang Li and He Yun cheered.

Qi Tianyu said, “Director, why not give my two points to Sister Li? I’m leaving tomorrow afternoon, and she deserves the most credit for tonight’s meal.”

Director Sun extended a finger and shook it, “No, no, no, your good scores are still useful.”

“Useful for what?”

“They will be passed on to the next guest.”

Hearing this, everyone perked up.

“Director Sun, who is the next guest?” Qi Tianyu asked. “Do I know them?”

Director Sun shook his head and remained silent.

Shu Yan applied her lipstick as she asked curiously, “Is it a girl or a boy? I hope it’s a boy. We already have enough girls in our group.”

Director Sun still smiled and shook his head.

The secret guest reveal this time was big news, and he had already discussed with the production team to keep their identity strictly confidential until their appearance.

That way, they could maximize the traffic for their live broadcast.

There was no way he would reveal it now.

Seeing Director Sun’s stance, the guests realized he wouldn’t disclose any information at all, so they stopped asking and continued to enjoy their food.

But the live room’s chat exploded in heated discussions about this mysterious guest.

“Although I’m sad Qi Tianyu is leaving, I’m really curious about who the next guest will be.”

“Curious +1, hope it’s not our bro. He looks so delicate, I bet he couldn’t last half a day without throwing a fit to go home.”

“Hope it’s not our bro either, I’m really afraid he’ll bring the house down. After all, the regular guests have already hit rock bottom.”

“There’s not a single piece of news on Weibo either. The Shanbian production team really knows how to hold back.”

“Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit! Big news, a blogger just leaked info, claiming she’s a staff member of the production team, and the secret guest is Su Yinwan!”

“Shit??? For real??? Su Yinwan???”

“I saw it, too. There’s a leak with photos of Su Yinwan and her agent at Star Media Entertainment Company, probably there to sign a contract, looks pretty legit.”

“??? Damn, if it’s really Su Yinwan, then the production team is seriously stirring up trouble, aren’t they? Didn’t she just have a falling out with Jiang Li? If those two meet…”

“It’s funny, Jiang Li should be the one feeling awkward! It was her who messed up first and seduced President Shang.”

“I’m dumbfounded, can’t handle it folks, carry on, I’m off to Weibo to follow this scoop.”

Consequently, almost half of the Shanbian Live Room’s audience rushed to Weibo to join in the buzz.

The leak post shot up to the top of trending topics within ten minutes.

Su Yinwan’s fans immediately flocked to her Weibo to ask her about it.

“Sister, sister, are you really going to be on Shanbian? It’s really tough there, we really don’t want you to go.”

“Don’t worry Wanwan, we chopsticks have your back. We definitely won’t let Jiang Li, that white lotus, keep laughing!”

“Ah ah ah, so excited, it’s my first time seeing Wanwan on a reality show, I won’t eat or drink just to stay glued to the screen!”

Having just finished a sponsorship shoot, Su Yinwan was resting in the lounge room. Seeing her name topped the trending search list and reached the highest popularity of the week, she couldn’t help but smirk.

Being a top star felt great, casually making it to the trending topics could cause such a stir.

So, she randomly picked a comment asking if she really was the next guest on Shanbian and replied, “Guess~.”

These two words seemed ambiguous, but they practically confirmed it.

Xiao Xueyi, who saw the reply she made, frowned with worry.

“Yinwan, we’ve already signed a non-disclosure agreement with Star Media, and you’re supposed to go to Chixia Village tomorrow. Isn’t causing such a fuss tonight a bit risky?”

Su Yinwan snorted dismissively and leaned back on the sofa.

“What’s the big deal? No one will find out that the blogger is our person. Besides, my agreeing to participate in Shanbian is already giving them enough face. Star Media is just a small company that hasn’t even gone public. Why should they lead us by the nose? We need to keep control in our hands. Otherwise, if they hog all the spotlight, what will we do?”
