Chapter 285: Director Wei, Don’t Be Angry

Translator: Zayn_

Song Qingyou heard this and suddenly said, “Director Wei, we’ve helped you get a permanent guest. In the future, when you film a show, you might be able to invite Teacher Gu Xingchen. Shouldn’t you give us some compensation?”

“We don’t want much. How about we just cancel the debt of 500 yuan?”

The other people’s eyes lit up as they echoed.

“500 yuan for Teacher Gu to be a guest on the show. Not only is it worth it, but it’s also a huge profit!”

“Director Wei wouldn’t be so stingy, right? You get to invite Teacher Gu as a guest and you don’t want to offset your debt?”

“Exactly!”

At the end of his sentence, his voice gradually faded. Xu Xingzhou asked uneasily, “If we say this, is it equivalent to selling Teacher Gu for 500 yuan? If this part is broadcast…”

“I can’t care so much about that!” Jiang Xuyan said, “I think Teacher Gu will understand us.”

Everyone nodded and then looked at Wei Zhengrong.

Wei Zhengrong had a thoughtful expression as if he was considering whether he should do this.

After a long while, he said, “1 should give you some compensation…”

When the group heard this, they felt that things had turned around.

However, as soon as the smile appeared on their faces, they heard Wei Zhengrong say, “How about this?”

“I’ll offset your debt of 100 yuan.”

“You’ve reduced your debt by one-fifth. Are you happy?”

Shu Ling, who already had a bad temper, couldn’t control her emotions and blurted out, “Happy? Happy my ass!”

Her slightly irritable tone attracted the attention of the others.

“What’s wrong?” Shu Ling asked. “Am I wrong? Are you happy?”

“No, no, no. I’m not happy.” Tang Zinian denied it repeatedly and exchanged glances with Xu Xingzhou.

They were just too surprised.

After all, when she first met Shu Ling, she was very cold and aloof, and she would give a cold response to everyone…

Jiang Xuyan coughed lightly. “Lingling is right. We are indeed unhappy…Director Wei, you’re too stingy…”

“We prepared to sell Teacher Gu for 500 yuan, but you directly lowered the price to one hundred yuan. Director Wei, are you worthy of Teacher Gu’s hundreds of millions of fans?”

“Less money, less punishment. If you don’t want to, then forget it.”

“We are willing.” Song Qingyou replied.

“Qingyou?” Jiang Xuyan was a little confused. They could have discussed it further, but why did she just… She agreed?

Wei Zhengrong didn’t care about what they were thinking and directly said, “Then I’ll take it that you agree.”

“You only owe four hundred yuan now. I won’t charge you any interest…”

After saying that, he asked someone to bring over the small blackboard with the punishment items written on it.

The first line was written with the words ‘Blind Selection Juice’.

The punishments that followed included ‘finishing a math exercise book for the college entrance exam’, ‘singing a complete song with water in your mouth’ and so on. Something like that.

“Every hundred yuan, one punishment. We’ll draw lots to decide.”

“You can either be punished collectively or choose two people.”

Everyone looked at each other. Yu Muhuai and Jiang Xuyan looked at each other and stepped forward.

Xu Xingzhou, Tang Zinian, Zhao Yingnan, and Shu Ling also stepped forward and stood at the same level as the two of them.

Only Song Qingyou didn’t move.

“Are you guys choosing Song Qingyou?” Wei Zhengrong laughed.

The six of them were about to answer “no” when Song Qingyou asked, “100 yuan for one punishment. We only need to pay 400 yuan, right?”

“Is that so?” Wei Zhengrong was stunned. “So, Qingyou has to complete all four punishments by herself?”

“Sure.” Song Qingyou was very calm.

“Qingyou?”

“Sister Qingyou!”

The six of them were shocked.

The next second, everyone saw Song Qingyou take out 400 yuan from her pocket.

“Eh?” The expressions of the six people changed again.

The collective dumbfounded look was quite comical.

“What’s going on?” Wei Zhengrong frowned and suddenly called his assistant’s name. “Why didn’t you remind me that Song Qingyou still had money?”

The assistant looked confused. He obviously couldn’t remember.

Song Qingyou smiled and explained, “The 300 yuan was earned when I was earning my travel expenses.”

“There’s still 100 yuan left. It’s the money from yesterday’s stall.”

Jiang Xuyan exclaimed, “Didn’t you use the money from the stall to buy hotpot ingredients?”

Some of the ingredients for the hotpot were bought from the production team.

“The production team knew that we were going to buy hotpot ingredients. 1 guessed that they might set the price according to the money we earned, so when we came back, I hid a hundred yuan.”

“Because it was in front of the camera, I didn’t want the production team to know, so I didn’t tell you. I’m sorry.”

The few of them were dizzy from the huge surprise.

When they heard Song Qingyou’s apology, they all said, “Sister Qingyou, you don’t have to apologize. If it weren’t for you being so scheming, we would have been fooled by the production team!”

“Qingyou is forever a god!”

“She’s the goddess! My goddess!”

“She’s everyone’s!”

After the excitement, they looked at Wei Zhengrong proudly.

Shu Ling crossed her arms. “Director Wei, since we’ve returned the money, we don’t have to accept the punishment, right?”

“…It does seem like it.” Wei Zhengrong was silent for a long time.

“Song Qingyou, why didn’t you take out the money earlier?”

It was obvious that Director Wei was very unwilling.

Song Qingyou smiled.

“At first, I thought 400 yuan wasn’t enough. I thought I prepared too little.”

“I didn’t expect Xiao Tang to suddenly mention Teacher Gu. 1 guessed Director Wei won’t let Teacher Gu ‘pay off the debt’, but he will definitely give us some relief.”

“After that, Director Wei personally said that we don’t need to pay interest. He also clearly stated that it’s a hundred yuan per punishment…”

“So you took out the money.”

“Yes.” Song Qingyou smiled confidently. “This time, the punishment program that Director Wei prepared doesn’t seem to be useful.”

Wei Zhengrong snorted and didn’t refute.

Jiang Xuyan and the others acted like they were ‘villains’ who had gotten what they wanted. They deliberately clapped in front of Director Wei and said sarcastically, “It’s a pity that the hole that Director Wei dug was filled by Qingyou!”

Tang Zinian: “Director Wei, please don’t be angry. If you’re angry, you’ll hurt your health. We’ll be sad.”

“What would you be sad about? Will you be sad that we’ll have to visit Director Wei and lose money to buy fruits?”

“Old Xu, you’re so sarcastic!”

“The pandas are starving to death.”

Wei Zheng Rong was annoyed. He immediately said, “You don’t need to be punished this time, but I will select a few lucky temporary guests from the staff to complete the punishment segment.”

The first to bear the brunt was naturally the director’s assistant.

The scene became lively again. No one wanted to be this temporary guest.

Jiang Xuyan was overjoyed.

“Director Wei finally collected so many punishment items, but in the end, he didn’t get to use any of them on us. Is he angry?”

Xu Xingzhou: “That’s why we need the staff to come and experience it. We can’t waste the things that we’ve worked so hard to prepare.”

Zhao Yingnan said, “This is why we should speak less!”

Tang Zinian: “Hahahaha—”
