Zhuang Li didn't intend to dig Meng Lan's system out of his head, it would be too troublesome. Under the circumstance that he already controls the overall situation, he can directly deal with Meng Lan himself.
While thinking about it, Zhuang Li slowly fell asleep. After waking up, it was past six o'clock in the afternoon. He went directly to the work shed to find the chief director.
The director-in-chief shrank his neck, as if he didn't dare to see anyone.
So Zhuang Li understood everything, "Xi Ming doesn't want to come and record the show, right?"
"Yes, he said he didn't accept variety shows. We tried our best, but he didn't give us a chance. This is a video, you can see." The director pointed to the computer screen.
Xi Ming on the screen refused the invitation impatiently, and walked to the garage not far away without looking back. The chief director had been waiting outside. After more than an hour, he finally came out, but he was driving a car, roaring into the track like lightning, circling lap after lap.
The chief director couldn't even touch his shadow.
"Mr. Zhuang, he doesn't agree, and we have no choice." The chief director carefully observed Zhuang Li's expression.
Zhuang Li pursed his lips and smiled, sincerely admiring: "He is so handsome even when he is impatient."
Chief Director: "..." It really is a licking dog.
Zhuang Li reversed the video, stared at Xi Ming's extraordinary face for a long time, and then left contentedly. When he was about to step out of the monitoring room, he ordered: "Didn't you say that guests can date each other? Let's start tomorrow."
The chief director, who wanted to prepare for another day, immediately agreed: "Hey, Haole, I'll post the appointment task when you guys finish dinner."
"We can arrange the location as we please, right?"
"Yes, you can arrange it yourself. If Xi Ming doesn't come, will the fifth male and female guests still join the group?"
"Wait, I'll let you know when the time comes." Zhuang Li waved his hand and left the monitoring room.
The chief director wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and sighed: "I thought Mr. Zhuang would be very angry or disappointed, but I didn't expect him to react so calmly. Xi Ming doesn't want to come, so wouldn't it make sense for Mr. Zhuang to participate in our show? Will he get bored and break the contract?"
The assistant director said nervously: "I'm not sure, that liquidated damages are nothing to him, and we can't stop it. So if you have time, make a few more trips and try to invite Xi Ming over."
Thinking of Xi Ming, who is tall and majestic and imposing, the director-in-chief wiped his face and really wanted to give up.

When Zhuang Li returned to the villa, the other seven guests were already preparing to eat around the dining table.
Wan Anni was dialing with her mobile phone, and she immediately waved when she saw Zhuang Li: "Come and sit down, I was just about to call you!"
At the same time, Zhuang Li's cell phone rang, and it was Wan Anni's call.
He pressed the refusal and sat down in the only vacant seat. Coincidentally, the person beside him was Meng Lan.
In front of the camera, everyone greeted Zhuang Li in a friendly way, no matter what they thought, at least there was no hostility on the face.
Even Chang Jinbo, who had the worst acting skills, twitched the corners of his mouth stiffly.
Only Meng Lan smiled happily at Ou Lu one second, and the next second, her face was straight, looking very unhappy. When Zhuang Li was seated, she immediately moved her chair to Xu Jingjing's side, making an appearance of avoiding it.
The sound of the chair rubbing against the floor was so harsh that everyone looked at her.
However, Zhuang Li seemed to have not heard him. He picked up the bowl, took some vegetables, and ate slowly.
Meng Lan put down the bowl and said to Zhou Banxia, who was sitting across from her, "Xia Xia, can you change seats with me?" She then glared at Zhuang Li.
She almost put her hostility on her face, just because she knew that even if the director did not drive Zhuang Li away for the time being because of the popularity and topicality, after two episodes of the show, the audience scolded him hard, and Zhuang Li was still the same. to go.
She is the only female guest who wrote the words "hate Zhuang Li" on her face, and her character must be more distinct than other female guests. What reality shows want is authenticity, clarity, and character.
She believes that her image of being soft on the outside and tough on the inside, sweet and spicy, will definitely be well received by the audience.
Zhou Banxia glanced at Xu Jingjing, who was sitting on the other side of Meng Lan, and agreed with a blushing face.
The two quickly switched places.
Meng Lan, who was on the opposite side, could see Zhuang Li as soon as she looked up, so she began to be unhappy again. But this time, she just pouted her lips and suppressed it, turned her head to talk to Chang Jinbo who was sitting next to her, and didn't look at Zhuang Li.
For her series of "big moves", Zhuang Li ignored the whole process.
The chief director who stayed in the monitoring room watching this scene: "..."
"Who recommended this Meng Lan?" He asked, pointing to the figure on the screen.
"It's me." The assistant director raised his hand awkwardly.
"Not bad, her expressiveness is very good. Xiao Li, Meng Lan is the most hostile to Mr. Zhuang, and her performance is the most obvious. You should focus on her and take a few more close-ups. The reversal of the plot requires a few harlequins. To set the atmosphere, this clown is Meng Lan, do you pay more attention to her in the future?" The chief director picked up the walkie-talkie and gave instructions.
Standing at the dining table, the cameraman who was filming with several guests whispered, "Understood." When he looked at Meng Lan again, he couldn't help but observe a few seconds of silence for the other party. Such a beautiful big girl, how could she be arranged as a clown by the director?
When everyone carefully weighed the current situation and tried to restrain their words and actions, Meng Lan was most aggressive. She has the system to help, so naturally she is not worried about the situation getting out of control.
As soon as she entered the love cabin, she knew the basic information of several male guests: Chang Jinbo was A-level, Ou Lu was B-level, Zhou Banxia was B-level, and Zhuang Li was F-level.
According to the system's grading standards, an A-level man must be a leader among people with prominent family background and outstanding abilities; a B-grade man must be a social elite with a successful career; an F-grade man can only be described in one word, and that is loser.
So Meng Lan saw through Zhuang Li's disguise at a glance. She originally wanted to send the letter of confession to Chang Jinbo, but later found that everyone voted for Zhuang Li. In order not to reveal her target prematurely, and to not appear too abrupt, she also voted for Zhuang Li along with the crowd.
Facts have proved that the system's judgment will never be wrong, and Zhuang Li's "second-generation rich" is indeed fake. That's why she dared to be so straightforward in front of the camera.
She is the one chosen by the **** of fate, so she has the confidence to do anything.
No, the cameraman who had been filming all the guests around the table just now walked over to her and filmed her every move alone. She became the most valued one in the program group.
When the next episode airs, she will definitely have the most pictures.
Meng Lan lowered her head and secretly curled the corners of her lips.

When dinner was almost over, Lin Caixiu wiped his mouth and asked, "Which two of you will cook tomorrow?"
Meng Lan, who was originally on duty with Zhuang Li, immediately raised her hand: "Who can change with me tomorrow? I'm not feeling well and it's not convenient for me to cook."
It can be seen from the changing situation just now that she is not uncomfortable, but simply unwilling to stay with Zhuang Li.
Everyone was also very disgusted with Zhuang Li and was unwilling to cook with him, so no one spoke up.
Wan Anni couldn't take it anymore, she tore off the napkin around her neck, slammed it on the table, and said in a rough voice, "Meng Lan, I'll change it with you. We'll see each other in the future. We've been together for a long time, don't you? Acting too deliberately."
"Thank you for changing with me. Have you eaten yet? I'll clear the table when you're done." Meng Lan asked the crowd with a smile, and responded to Wan Anni's rebuke with a slap in the face.
Wan Anni gritted her teeth in anger, saw the cameraman slapped her and Meng Lan's faces, and suppressed the urge to rage.
Zhuang Li put down his chopsticks, smiled gently at Wan Anni, and shook his head slightly.
At this moment, Wan Anni's anger naturally calmed down.
Being watched by Zhuang Li's dark and deep eyes, she would actually feel very at ease. To be honest, even if the rumors on the Internet portrayed Zhuang Li as extremely unbearable, even if there were pictures and the truth, she still couldn't believe that this man would be like that.
Whether a person has connotation, heritage, and bearing can actually be seen from his words and deeds.
Wan Annie is a fashion designer and is accustomed to observing a person's appearance and interior. Her eyes tell her that Zhuang Li is very powerful.
She, who has also experienced cyber violence, understood very early that most of the things on the Internet are fake. She trusts her own judgment more, and she will never go with the flow.
Thinking like this, Wan Anni raised her chin and gave Zhuang Li a relaxed smile.
Everyone got up one after another and helped Meng Lan clean up the table.
After finishing the work, everyone sat around the sofa and started today's task link - guess the occupation. Before they came, they had deleted all the clues that might reveal their careers on their Weibo, leaving only the bits and pieces of daily life records.
Meng Lan was very active and said with a smile, "Let's each give a hint, right? Who will come first?" Her bright eyes swept over everyone, and finally settled on Chang Jinbo.
Chang Jinbo took out his mobile phone and was about to give a reminder. Zhuang Li, who was already tired of this fake performance, said lightly: "You are a race car driver, because the sports car you drove has a lower sound than the average sports car, and it is obvious that the engine After modification, it is racing class. Of course, it does not rule out that you are a racing enthusiast."
Chang Jinbo nodded reluctantly.
Zhuang Li looked at Zhou Banxia: "You are a pharmacist. When cooking, you like to use a beaker and a scale to weigh the grams of food. This is a professional habit. Also, at noon today, you doodled on the small blackboard at the door. A string of chemical formulas is a formula for the treatment of chronic pulmonary heart disease, but the effect of this formula is very unstable and should be still in the experimental stage. I suggest you increase the dose of traditional Chinese medicine ingredients, and the final answer is in your name. "
Zhou Banxia, who never looked directly at Zhuang Li, raised her head suddenly, her eyes brightening.
Zhuang Li pointed to Wan Anni: "You are a fashion designer, and the lines you scribbled on the letter paper are an exploded view of a men's suit."
Wan Anni: "...Yes!"
Zhuang Li looked at Lin Caixiu: "You are in the makeup business, and your position should be CEO. When you were on the phone with your client in the morning, you were discussing the import of a batch of cosmetic raw materials, I heard."
Lin Caixiu: "But I speak French!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she covered her mouth, and her cheeks slowly flushed with embarrassment. No one has stipulated that Zhuang Li can't understand French, which obviously means looking down on people.
Zhuang Li pointed to Ou Lu: "You are a financial analyst, and all the books you brought are monographs on financial analysis."
Ou Lu: "!!!" The books he brought were all original in English, how could Zhuang Li understand them?
"You are the English teacher of the early childhood education website. I saw the lesson plan you wrote." Zhuang Li glanced at Meng Lan, and finally looked at Xu Jingjing, and said with a smile, "You are a pianist."
Xu Jingjing opened her mouth into an O-shape, then tilted her head, looking like she was thirsty for knowledge.
Zhuang Li took the initiative to answer her: "When you are in a daze, put your fingers on the table and play a piece of "Dream of Love". This is a professional habit. There is no piano in the house, and a good pianist must persist for two hours a day. So you like to be in a daze. You are not slow thinking, you are just practicing the piano in your head, which is the musical imagination that musicians can have. You are very focused, and the future is promising.”
Zhuang Li stood up, patted Xu Jingjing on the shoulder, and then went upstairs without hesitation.
All the guests who were guessed: "..."
After a long time, Xu Jingjing applauded softly and praised sincerely, "Zhuang Li is amazing!"
Zhou Banxia, who was lying on the table and quickly wrote the formula of the medicine, raised her head and seriously agreed: "I am already a fifth-level apothecary, but Zhuang Li can guide me. He is a senior!"
Distinguished guests: "..." What can't you do if you say that you can't do anything?
The chief director sitting in the monitoring room pointed to the computer screen and sighed to the staff standing behind him: "Did you see everyone, the most frightening thing is not that the rich work harder than you, but that they work hard and Smart!"
The author has something to say:
Some readers may think that my pace is too slow and the plot is dragged.
I'm actually in a hurry, and I want to let Lao Gong appear as soon as possible, but there are too many foreshadowings and plots to pave the way.
The psychological transformation of the second male, the psychological transformation of several other guests, Meng Lan's psychological transformation, and her background, I need to explain clearly.
Otherwise, the subsequent plot development will be very abrupt, and the climax will not be able to unfold.
Please bear with me.
