Chapter 23

The Notification Subtitle Is Very Eye-catching

Recently, because of the bidding, Lu Qingye has been busy every day.

In the eyes of outsiders, he was handsome, came from a good family, and had a high education. Other than working and socializing, he had no social scandals. It was difficult for a man like him to not be remembered.

Occasionally, he wanted to relax. Perhaps it was because the way he approached relaxation was wrong. It always made him feel that nothing was better than going back to work.

After Lu Qingye sat down, he was not in a hurry to get back to work. Instead, he leaned back in his chair and loosened his tie. He leaned his head back and looked at the ceiling in a relaxed manner.

Not that he was free, Lu Qingye thought of that variety show.

After a while, he took out his phone from his pocket. As soon as he unlocked it, he saw a notification. The notification subtitle was very eye-catching:

[You might have seen a woman crying in a BMW, but you’ve never seen a beauty wearing a diamond ring picking up trash…]

When Lu Qingye saw this news, his eyes were filled with disdain. He thought that marketing accounts nowadays could really fabricate anything for the sake of reading.

He glanced at it and swiped it away mercilessly. However, after he swiped it away, another message popped up not long after: [Women, don’t think that marrying into a rich family is a good thing. You might end up like Meng Chuyuan on the Variety show…]

At this moment, when he saw Meng Chuyuan’s name, a trace of shock flashed across his deep eyes.

Meng Chuyuan?

‘What happened to her?’

Lu Qingye’s fingertip lingered at the top. He re-examined the title and accidentally tapped it halfway through his examination.

“…” Lu Qingye was stunned for a moment when he saw that the page was loading.

However, when the page finished loaded, it was filled with advertisements and sales. At the end of the article, there was a paragraph related to the title. The general meaning was that women had to be independent and have a decent job. Marrying into a rich family might not be a good thing. They might even end up like Meng Chuyuan picking up trash in the Variety show.

After Lu Qingye finished reading the text, his expression was complicated and there was no expression in his eyes.

At first, he thought that yesterday’s trending topic was just a gimmick for the variety show. After a while, its popularity would subside. He did not expect this matter to become more and more ridiculous.

…

The next morning, the live broadcast started as usual.

Meng Chuyuan was in a better state today than yesterday. It was probably because she drank some wine last night, so she slept until dawn.

Today, the production team did not provide breakfast for the guests. They had to settle it themselves. Without the need to collect breakfast, everyone slept for a while longer.

Meng Chuyuan woke up at 7:30 and went to the kitchen first. She poured two ladles of water into the pot and placed them on the steamer compartment. Then, she took out some sweet potatoes and corn that the villagers had given her. After dealing with them, she placed them on the steamer compartment, covered the pot lid, and started the fire.

When the fire was hot, she would cook them.

[Morning, morning. I’m here to see how Sister Meng is doing today.]

[I’m really not tired of looking at her bare face. She’s so beautiful.]

[I just woke up and came to see Sister Meng’s beautiful face.]

[Eh? The production team actually doesn’t provide breakfast? Then didn’t Sister Meng use all the sweet potatoes and corn from yesterday?]

[I can already smell the fragrance through the screen. Forget it, I’m going to make breakfast too.]

The only good thing about Liao Jiake and the others staying in the four small courtyards was that the atmosphere was good. When they woke up, they could greet their neighbors. It was not difficult for them to freeload breakfast.

However, Qi Zhen and Qi Yan were not so lucky.

The ingredients they exchanged for were taken care of on the same day. Moreover, Qi Yan’s stomach was not good, so she could not eat overnight vegetables, so they did not even leave any leftovers.

Qi Zhen woke up earlier than his sister. He knew that the production team did not provide breakfast today, so the first thing he did after washing up was to check what was in the fridge.

He opened the fridge and saw that there was only sauce and mineral water inside.

Qi Zhen had no choice but to go out to look for food. When he walked to the courtyard, he found green melons in the vegetable field.

Qi Zhen saw that the green melons were already ripe, so he went to the vegetable field to pick two.

When Qi Yan finally appeared after putting on her makeup, Qi Zhen had just returned from plucking the green melon.

“Ah Zhen, what are we having for breakfast?”

“Green Melon.”

Looking at the green melon in Qi Zhen’s hand, her smile froze on her face.

After a while, she said slowly, “Other than this, is there nothing else?”

Seeing her forced smile, Qi Zhen knew that she might be unhappy again.

Qi Zhen came over with the two green melons he had just picked and gave them to her. “Sister, this is all we have. Let’s just eat.”

[Help! What’s wrong with the production team today? They didn’t even prepare breakfast for the guests.]

[Isn’t eating green melon for breakfast too light? Yan Yan’s health isn’t too good. Can she take it?]

[It can’t be helped. Brother Qi Zhen searched for a long time and only found green melons. There’s probably nothing to eat nearby.]

[Another day where I want to send blades towards the director. Yan Yan, you have to hold on. This family can’t live without you.]

Lu Jinsen woke up to the fragrance of corn and sweet potatoes. He casually put on a coat and came out. His hair was as messy as a chicken coop, and his eyes were not fully open.

He subconsciously walked to the kitchen. When he saw Meng Chuyuan, Lu Jinsen suddenly sobered up. “Are you cooking?”

“Who else could it be other than me?” Meng Chuyuan glanced at him, then continued with her work.

“Do I get a share?”

[Do I have a share? I’m dying of laughter. Hahahaha, how can Lu Jinsen, this devil, say something like that?]

[Young Master is gradually becoming self-aware, hahaha.]

[The position of the brother in this family is obvious at a glance.]

[Young Master might be thinking to himself: I didn’t cook it. Can I eat it? I woke up a little late. Can I eat it??]

[Although Young Master’s reputation is not good, he doesn’t put on airs. Look at how messy his hair is.]

[To be honest, it’s really difficult to see Young Master’s bedhead and not smile. How can Sister Meng hold it in?]

When Meng Chuyuan heard this, she turned around and looked at him. Her tone was teasing. “What do you think?”

Lu Jinsen: “…”

Seeing his troubled expression, she couldn’t help but smile. She hadn’t expected it to be fun teasing him.

“If you don’t wash up, breakfast will really be gone.”

…

After breakfast, they went out to do missions. They seemed to have enough time to prepare today, and everyone arrived on time.

When the audience in the live-stream saw that Meng Chuyuan’s team appeared on time, they found it unbelievable.

[It’s rare that the team of slackers isn’t late.]

[Please continue to maintain your current state today. Don’t waste any more time and drag everyone down.]

[Wait! I’ve been watching for a long time, but why don’t I see the director?]

[No way? It’s not easy for Sister Meng to be on time, and now it’s the director’s turn to be late?]

[He probably couldn’t get up today after drinking with Sister Meng last night. Coincidentally, Sister Meng gave him a reason to rest well. Wonderful.]

[Sister Meng indicates: The director must have low alcohol tolerance but I don’t know if I should say.]

[In this day and age, directors really have to be able to hold their liquor well. Hahahaha, I’m dying of laughter.]
