The deaf and blind director, staff and cameramen were outraged when they heard the words, they raised up their cameras and surrounded the two. Zhang Jianian was embarrassed. In the end, he just bowed his head and pulled his coat with both hands, like a snail retracted into its shell, dodged everyone’s shooting range and gave her a gentle kiss.

The staff were isolated from the outside and couldn’t see the situation. They scratched their hearts and lungs and even moved the cameras closer, wanting to find out.

The dark coats blocked the two of them. They didn’t know what Chu Chu and Zhang Jianian had done privately and in a moment Chu Chu sat up straight, showing her face. Her face improved, with a hint of joy after success. She waved to the cameraman who was leaning forward desperately and said, “Sit down, sit down, sitting in the bus like this is very dangerous.”

The director lost a key shot and tried to sell it miserably, “President Chu, please understand and cooperate with our shooting, it is not easy for everyone…”

Chu Chu: “You just gave me 300 yuan as a salary, which really doesn’t work.”

Director: “…”

Chu Chu: “No, these three hundred yuan can only be called a living allowance and the working hours are extremely unreasonable, which is a serious violation of the labor law.”

Director: Very good, salary deduction warning is about to turn into a lawyer’s letter warning.

At the end of the long drive, the program crew finally arrived in Jichuan Town. The actual shooting place was still a little away from the town, in a small village next to Jichuan Town. When everyone arrived at their destination, it was at sunset. The blood-stained sunset spread brilliant colors in the sky and the endless screams of insects came from the swaying trees.

After getting off the bus, the program group began to take away their cash and stuff. Due to the special nature of their work, Chu Chu and Zhang Jianian’s phones were not confiscated to prevent them from missing urgent tasks.

Of course, since Chu Chu entered the village, her phone signal had become 3G and occasionally it was 2G. Nowadays, operators were beginning to retire from 2G networks, but Chuchu did not expect that they would return to 2G.

After the valuables were handed in, the director also checked. Chu Chu only felt that the female director wanted to touch her all over and said, “Why are you checking me so strictly? Do I seem to be carrying dangerous items?”

Zhang Jianian’s side was over soon and there was no delay at all. He brought more work and life-related things, no valuable assets.

The director could not say bluntly that President Chu had too many tricks and was a dangerous item herself, which made people vigilant. After the body search was over, the director and cameramen left separately and hid in the dark. There were cameras in the room and most of the staff were nestled in the yard.

Every family in the village was a lone family. There were a few ordinary bungalows or thatched huts and one could hear the barking of a dog in the courtyard far away. Chu Chu and Zhang Jianian walked around the house first. The kitchen stove was covered with a thick layer of ash. Zhang Jianian just opened the lid of the pot and the dust fluttered.

Chu Chu narrowed her eyes and vomited, “Did someone work on the stove? Or was it run over by a truck?”

The dust quickly made her suspect that the crew deliberately spread the dust. Otherwise, how long would it take for the dust to fall by nature alone?

Zhang Jianian was a little helpless, “I will wash the pot and make noodles at night, there seems to be some vegetables in the yard.”

The two arrived at the dilapidated hut near sunset and they didn’t have enough materials. Fortunately, there were some seasonal vegetables in the yard.

Zhang Jianian was cooking at home, while Chu Chu took the money to the shop, intending to complete the task of “buying noodles”. The shop was located on the flat ground at the top of the mountain. Although it was a village, the roads were mostly slopes and the villagers’ homes were scattered all over the mountain.

Chu Chu looked left and right all the way and found that there was an old grandfather who sold small wooden sculptures for only one yuan. The price was nothing. But she thought about it carefully, the current funds were only 300 yuan and the consumption was not good, so she finally reluctantly left.

Upon seeing that, the cameramen and director couldn’t help but joke, “President Chu, you will still be stumped by one yuan?”
