The next day, in addition to Yu Xi and two assistants, Yu Ling also took the car with Si Huang to the Infinite Collapse crew, as well as a hairstylist and two backup drivers.
Everyone had been told by Yu Xi to pack their luggage yesterday, so today everyone got into the car swiftly and it didn’t take long before they arrived at the meeting place booked by Du Xiaoguang.
As soon as Si Huang got out of the car, she saw Mi Lu standing in front of Du Xiaoguang.
The other person was wearing a navy blue long-sleeved dress, which was her usual dressing style. It did not cover her knees and hands, so people could see the injuries on her body at a glance.
These injuries, coupled with Mi Lu’s haggard and pale face that could not be concealed even with makeup, gave her the appearance of someone who had just recovered from a serious illness, and Du Xiaoguang felt too embarrassed to scold her or blame her for being late.
After explaining the program content and key points of Infinite Collapse to Mi Lu, Du Xiaoguang reminded her again: “Don’t do this again in the future. My program will not take care of you in every way just because you are a woman, do you understand?” After getting Mi Lu’s nod, he turned around and let her go.
Si Huang saw Du Xiaoguang walking towards her, so she naturally walked towards him and called out with a smile, “Teacher Du.”
“Yeah,” Du Xiaoguang looked through her at the team behind her and said jokingly, “After becoming a boss, the scene is different. I heard from Liu Shu before that when you were filming “The Emperor’s Path”, you just had an agent with you every day and didn’t even have a dedicated makeup artist.”
Si Huang: “If Teacher Du is willing to provide me with makeup artists and other resources for free like the crew of “The Emperor’s Path”, I won’t have to spend extra money.”
“Don’t talk nonsense, it will be strange if you are short of this little money now.” Du Xiaoguang smiled a little maliciously, “But let me remind you first, it’s not a good thing to have more people. These will all be sweet burdens. You have to be prepared.”
“Huh?” Si Huang looked at Du Xiaoguang.
She hoped he could explain it more clearly.
As a result, Du Xiaoguang took care of the guest just like he did yesterday. He only told half of the story and didn’t reveal a single word afterwards. He didn’t care how nervous and confused this reminder would make people feel. He went to the next guest, Wu Taishu, and said something to him, which made Wu Taishu nod helplessly several times. His expression was very vivid.
“What did Teacher Du mean by that?” Yu Xi couldn’t help but wonder.
Si Huang comforted him instead, “No matter what it means, just listen.”
After two sentences, she saw Mi Lu walking over with her female agent.
“Mr. Si, thanks to your good wishes, we really found Mi Lu today.” The female agent flattered as soon as she opened her mouth.
Yu Xi was just about to go and deal with it himself, but Si Huang said, “It’s nothing,” she then looked at Mi Lu, “Mi Lu’s condition doesn’t look good.”
“Well, there was an accident.” The female agent was helpless. In fact, she didn’t know what accident Mi Lu had, and the other party didn’t tell her at all.
She just had to go to pick her up in the middle of the night yesterday. It took her a while to get her. Even she was scared when she saw Mi Lu’s miserable appearance for the first time.
“Mi Lu, thanks to Mr. Si, Teacher Du forgave your absence yesterday so that no big mistake was made.” The female agent reminded Mi Lu again, winking at her secretly.
Logically speaking, someone like Si Huang would definitely be Mi Lu’s type, so there was no reason why Mi Lu would have no reaction at all.
“…Thank you.” Mi Lu behaved very reservedly, and did not even have any further physical contact with Si Huang under the pretext of thanking him.
Her behavior made the female agent surprised and confused again. But she did not show any sign on the surface and said, “Don’t think that gossip always says that Mi Lu is open-minded. Sometimes she is still shy.”
“Well, you’re welcome.” Si Huang took the initiative to extend her hand to Mi Lu with an impeccable smile. “Let’s cheer for each other in the next show.”
Mi Lu stretched out her hand, and her arm trembled imperceptibly. It touched Si Huang’s palm and was then held. The force was neither light nor heavy, but it made her eyes tremble again – Si Huang pressed her tendons, and his fingertips seemed to brush across it inadvertently. It didn’t hurt, but it made her shudder.
“Okay.” Mi Lu replied in a low voice.
The two people’s clasped hands loosened.
Si Huang did not continue chatting with them and got into his nanny car with Yu Xi. His assistant Guo Nai was installing a small camera in the car.
As soon as he saw the two of them come in, Guo Nai said, “The camera was distributed by the crew. They said it was going to record the guests’ daily lives in the car.”
“Yeah.” Si Huang, who knew some of the characteristics of reality show variety shows, didn’t care.
Outside.
“Mi Lu, you’ve been acting a little weird since yesterday. You refuse to tell me what happened. I know I can’t get it from you, but since you’ve agreed to participate in this show, you can’t throw a tantrum anymore.” The female agent warned Mi Lu seriously.
The latter glanced at her, her expression no different from usual, “I know.”
This proud and slightly willful look reassured the female agent, “As long as you are determined to do things well, I believe you!” After a pause, she continued: “If you have any troubles, you can go to Si Huang. Getting along with him will be a good gimmick in the show.”
“He just cheated Dongyu Media not long ago, and you still think he is a good person?” Mi Lu stared at her agent.
The female agent didn’t notice her abnormality. “There are no absolute enemies in this circle. They are enemies when there is a conflict of interests, but they are friends when there is a win-win situation in interests. What’s more, Si Huang went against Dongyu Media for Guan Li. He is really a man who values friendship and loyalty. Moreover, he is not targeting you. He even helped you escape a disaster yesterday.”
After finishing her words, the female agent didn’t hear Mi Lu’s response. When she looked up at her, she found that Mi Lu’s expression was very strange. She was stunned. “What’s wrong?”
“It’s okay.” Mi Lu retracted her gaze. “I will get along well with him.”
“That’s good.” The female agent breathed a sigh of relief and reminded him, “Don’t take advantage of his good temper and go too far.”
Mi Lu did not respond to her and went back to her car to rest.
About half an hour later, Yu Lianjun finally arrived.
After making sure everyone was ready, they drove to their destination together.
Each guest was given a camera, which was installed in their long-stay nanny car.
It was best to maintain shooting for one hour a day. When you don’t want to shoot anymore, you can choose to turn it off.
Generally, celebrities would put on some show in the car and try to leave some exciting content to attract the attention of future audiences.
Si Huang seemed to ignore the camera and acted no different from any other day, leaning against the window and reading a book.
Five Treasure had also poked his head out of her pocket, climbing onto the edge of her pocket with his two paws, and stared at the book with his green eyes, looking like he was reading it very seriously.
Yu Xi had just received the latest work content and when he looked up, he saw this heartwarming scene. He immediately felt that Si Huang did not need to put on a show and was more eye-catching than anyone else.
What did it mean to “be a quiet handsome man”? That was it!
“I just received part of the program content,” Yu Xi lowered his voice, drew Si Huang’s attention, and continued, “We are going to an ancient city now. The place is a bit remote, but it is also part of the capital. It can be reached in about half a day’s drive. It is a famous tourist area.”
Just as he finished speaking, he heard a “ding dong” sound from the tablet, and there was another reminder.
This news came from the Infinite Collapse crew again.
After reading it, Yu Xi’s expression changed slightly.
Si Huang asked, “What’s wrong?”
Yu Xi’s face was expressionless. “The first task requires that the crew will not cover any expenses of the guest team. The guests need to find ways to earn them back themselves or exchange them with points!”
Si Huang: “He is worthy of being Teacher Du.”
Was this admiration or contempt?
Yu Xi didn’t ask, but he had a deeper understanding and concern about Du Xiaoguang and his scruples.
So this was what he meant when he said bringing too many people was not a good thing!
Can’t you just make it clear once and for all?
Now that everyone was on the car, could they just ask someone to go back?
“Ding Dong.”
Yu Xi lowered his head and looked at the message reminder again.
——During the mission, your true identity cannot be recognized by others. Once discovered, the mission will be over and you will lose the qualification to continue earning funds! ——
“Ding Dong!”
—— Don’t try to hide your bank cards, credit cards, cash, etc., dear! Once you are discovered, the mission is over. Not only will you lose the qualification to earn funds, but you will also be punished! ——
Can’t you send out all the task requirements at once?! You have to make things difficult for me!
“Ding Dong——”
Maybe it was really a deliberate annoyance, because another message alert sound came.
This was a personalized reminder: During the time on the way to the show venue, all guests can think carefully about how to make money!
Yu Xi helplessly handed the tablet to Si Huang and let her look at it slowly.
At this time, in other cars.
“Hahahaha.” After reading the prompts for Task 3, Wu Taishu laughed a few times, then said cheerfully: “Brother Du is still so talented. He can create so many things with such a stingy manner.”
The agent and assistant next to him: “…”
Was this really a compliment?
The nanny car ranked No. 2.
Le Xian was surprised and then distressed, “Sister Huan, how many people did we bring?”
“Not many, only six including you and me.” The agent said generously.
Le Xian: “…I never thought that the day would come when I would become the head of the family and your future life will depend on me.”
He said eagerly, but Sister Huan poured a bucket of cold water on him, “If you dare to take me to sleep in a small hotel, I will drag you, Xiao Xian, to do flower buying.”
Le Xian: “…”
Nanny car No. 4.
After Yu Lianyun learned about the program’s mission requirements, her expression did not change at all and she looked very confident.
Nanny car number 5.
Mi Lu had already been reminded by Du Xiaoguang that as the “mysterious” guest of the show, she didn’t know how her appearance would be edited later.
She quietly glanced at the camera in the car and gently asked her agent, “If I can’t earn enough money then me selling myself to Si Huang, do you think it’s feasible?”
“Don’t joke!” the female agent scolded with a smile.
Mi Lu’s style was as famous as her fame, and everyone was used to her personality, so even if these words were really retained by people later, no one would feel strange or take it too seriously.
