Chapter 288: Chapter 267: Everyone Present, No One Missing

The smug comment from Zhu Xiu’an left the other guests with no desire to ask him anything more.

Who knows if asking him one question would lead to ten more boastful responses from him? Oh no, ten might not even be enough for him to show off!

The few guests tacitly turned their heads and then looked at Ji Xizhi.

Le Qiqi: “Zhi Zhi, how did you get discovered?!”

Just as Le Qiqi asked, she saw a line of intellectuals standing behind Ji Xizhi, their eyes shining with knowledge.

Le Qiqi: “!”

It seemed quite normal to get discovered.

Magic defeats magic, intellectuals are also the strongest in the entertainment industry, and Ji Xizhi spoils her fans, it’s all too logical!

The few other guests had pretty much the same thought as Le Qiqi.

Ji Xizhi being discovered could either be because she spoiled her fans by going easy on the intellectuals or because the intellectuals found a way to locate her.

No one considered other possibilities.

However, Bai Zhe wasn’t at all concerned about how Ji Xizhi lost; he only cared about Ji Xizhi herself.

Now, in front of the camera, Ji Xizhi didn’t show any signs of sadness or disappointment, and he understood that all too well.

There are always things that need to be expressed behind the camera.

Bai Zhe was formulating ideas in his mind.

On the scene, after Ji Xizhi accurately guessed the outcome, Director Wang announced the results.

Zhu Xiu’an worked at a fish stall for a day and earned one hundred dollars.

Meanwhile, the work income of the other guests was zero.

The arrangement of mutual exclusive tasks for the nine guests and one hundred fans was thus revealed.

Many fans felt regret once they realized that while they were finding their idols, the show would also clear their idol’s wages.

“Ah~ Yao Bao, we’re sorry, it’s all our fault!”

“Brother, we really didn’t know, if we knew, we wouldn’t have gone to the fish stall~”

“Old Wang is just too despicable! Screwed both ways! Uncle Yan, Meng Meng, they’ve had it rough!”

“Hmm? If we knew, we wouldn’t have gone on the boat to play; we should have watched the silly dog suffer on labor!”

“I said Uncle Wang must have some tricks! Luckily it was guessed, Zhi Zhi still has a guarantee~”

Several fans murmured, but their eyes still glared viciously at Director Wang.

Director Wang was not panicked at all, calmly looking at the army of fans by his side, saying lightly, “Everyone’s experienced a day of work life, it must have been tiring, so the program group will… not provide dinner today.”

Director Wang made a big turn, casting his eyes on the nine guests present.

“Each guest not only has to take care of their own dinner but also needs to take care of their fans’ dinner! This episode’s three guest stars and one special guest can choose a regular guest to team up with.”

Today, the program group invited one hundred fans, a total of nine guests, so even if they were evenly divided, each would still have to take care of about eleven fans’ dinners.

Zhu Xiu’an’s hundred bucks weren’t even enough to cover it all.

But while not sufficient, it was more than enough compared to others!

Seeing the worried looks on the other guests’ faces, Zhu Xiu’an instantly relaxed.

The program group’s sudden task indeed caught several guests off guard.

Guests had to treat their fans to dinner, which required money, but they hadn’t even settled on their own dinner yet, so what would they use to treat their fans?

Moreover, if every guest treated their fans to dinner in varying degrees of lavishness, there would inevitably be some disparity in their hearts, giving rise to potential online criticism from black fans.

Even Guan Fengyan couldn’t help but sigh, “Director Wang, the program group should be reasonable, how can those who haven’t earned any money today afford to invite fans to dinner?”

Director Wang: “I am unreasonable.”

Guan Fengyan: “…” Heartless Uncle Wang!

Director Wang: “But it was never said that dinner had to be bought; everyone can also choose to cook for their fans.”

[Ahhhhh, to eat a meal cooked by your idol, I never even dared to dream of it! Uncle Wang really understands us!!!]

[I announce that I will stop attacking Director Wang for one minute!]

[Crying with envy again, those lucky fans, so wonderful~]

[So now~ the richest one happens to be Zhu Xiu’an!]

[Sister upstairs surely didn’t watch Ji Xizhi’s livestream, how should I put it, Zhu Xiu’an only appears rich!]

[??? Another plot? I must search for it now!]

Once the guests gathered, each guest’s fans began switching back and forth.

Many people saw the barrage and went back to crazily scour Weibo for Ji Xizhi’s insider information, piecing together fragments and playing them back.

Meanwhile, in the live feed, guests and fans were still fretting over tonight’s dinner.

Ji Xizhi had the most fans among the nine guests.

Since the program group combined the nine guests with one hundred invited fans, the lineup was roughly that each fan stood behind their idol, with about eight or nine intellectuals present. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on novel_fіre.net

There were also a few program group fans who could freely choose to stand behind their most liked idol.

So, in total, fifteen or sixteen fans were standing behind Ji Xizhi.

This also meant the difficulty of Ji Xizhi treating these fans to dinner was even greater.

Le Qiqi and Fang Zhuyue simultaneously looked at Ji Xizhi, both wanting to team up with her, but it was clear that Ji Xizhi already had a heavy burden.

Neither of them spoke up for a while.

Ji Xizhi was the first to speak in a questioning tone, quickly figuring out the key point after hearing Director Wang’s words.

“Can we use the kitchen utensils from before?”

Director Wang gave Ji Xizhi a look of both love and hate.

He loved that Ji Xizhi could always understand the show’s planning.

He hated that she saw through it all too clearly! She saw right through it!

Director Wang replied, “You can use them.”

Le Qiqi seized the opportunity to ask, “Zhi Zhi, are you going to buy the ingredients and cook yourself?”

Ji Xizhi shook her head, pointing to the coast not far away after the tide retreated.

“The program group gathered us here for a reason; we must be able to gather seafood here.” Ji Xizhi glanced at Director Wang, recalling, “I remember there was a set of barbecue utensils in the kitchen from before, new ones, looking like they were separately purchased by the program group, it should be usable too!”

Director Wang: “………..”

The other guests: “!!!” How does she know everything!

[If I remember correctly, from yesterday until now, hasn’t the program group not made them cook?]

[The importance of detailed observation~]

[Forgetting about that for a moment, why do I feel like the number of fans behind Zhi Zhi increased again?]

Ji Xizhi and a few guests were exploiting the program group’s loopholes up front.

Behind the guests, the one hundred fans were already quietly on the move.

Among them, Zhu Xiu’an’s fans had the greatest mobility, whereas the other guests’ fans hesitated a bit.

All seven of Zhu Xiu’an’s fans, without exception, moved completely behind Ji Xizhi.
