Chapter 9: Work and Relaxation

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

[What are these two doing? Shopping? Why are they shopping here?]

[She’s really playing the role of an empty vase to the fullest.]

[If they’re like this in front of the camera, I don’t even know how lazy they are behind the camera.]

[What is the production team doing? How can they tolerate such a person?]

Just now, when Qi Zhen was practicing striking jujube trees, Meng Chuyuan and Lu Jinsen whispered to each other while no one was paying attention.

Meng Chuyuan tilted her body and leaned towards Lu Jinsen. She whispered to him, “Are you interested in playing a game?”

“A game?” Lu Jinsen looked at her in confusion.

How could she say something like playing a game at a time like this?

Lu Jinsen ignored her and quickly looked away.

Meng Chuyuan did not give up. She leaned over again and said, “Let’s play a game. The loser will work. How about that?”

“Boring.” His face was full of disdain.

Meng Chuyuan raised his eyebrows and deliberately mocked, “Are you afraid to play with me?”

Perhaps because he did not want to be looked down upon, Lu Jinsen subconsciously blurted out, “What are we playing?”

“Rock, paper, scissors.”

“…”

They played a round to determine the winner. Meng Chuyuan threw a rock, and he threw scissors. In the end, Meng Chuyuan easily defeated Lu Jinsen.

[Nb Hahahahaha, you even play like this.]

[Are you not planning to eat lunch?]

[These two slackers are playing rock, paper, scissors instead of working. I’m impressed.]

[Guards, is anyone in charge?]

Meng Chuyuan retracted her fist and handed the bamboo pole to Lu Jinsen in the blink of an eye. It was a provocation from the victor. “Young man, go to work.”

Lu Jinsen did not even realize what had just happened. How did he lose?

He took the bamboo pole from Meng Chuyuan with a dumbfounded expression. He silently walked to the jujube tree and began to prepare.

When the supervisor was teaching just now, Lu Jinsen watched seriously from the side and he did not think that it was difficult.

Lu Jinsen was not as tense as Qi Zhen. The moment he raised the bamboo pole, he exerted force, scrunching up his face and dropped the dates.

Although his actions seemed a little too vigorous, the end results were very good and there was order in the chaos.

Just like that, Lu Jinsen struck the dates according to his own method. His speed was faster than the other two teams. Although he had the upper hand in terms of speed, he could not control the strength of his swing well. As a result, the dates on the tree did not fall on the flat plastic sheet and even hit him.

It was the time when the sun rose. It was not very hot, but it was blinding.

“Ah zhen, take a break. Let me do it.” Qi Yan had been slowly collecting dates at the back because Qi Zhen did not let her do physical work like harvesting dates.

At first, she thought that it was not bad to be collecting dates at the back. However, when she saw how quickly Lu Jinsen moved, she suddenly felt that there was a huge disparity between them .

Who didn’t want to win?

Qi Zhen: “It’s alright, Sister. I’ll speed up. We’ll be able to weigh the dates soon.”

“Then let me know when you need help.”

[I’m a little worried about Qi Zhen’s hand. He was the one raising the pole from the beginning to the end.]

[Just let your sister help you. It’s too tiring to work alone. My heart aches for you.]

[Qi Zhen, don’t panic. They definitely won’t win. In my heart, you will always be number one.]

Actually, Liao Jiake and Liao Jiayan were the most pitiful.

Although the weight of jujubes that they had to pick was the lowest amongst the three groups, there were no boys in their group. Since the beginning, the two of them were hard at work, but their progress was still not as fast as Qi Zhen’s group.

Looking at the row of unpicked jujube trees, Liao Jiayan felt like a deflated ball. “My hands are so sore.”

Hearing this, Liao Jiake looked up and saw that her sister had stopped. She rubbed her other arm with one hand and walked over. “Yan Yan, find a shady place to rest first. Leave this to me.”

Liao Jiayan naturally wanted to rest, but when she thought about how she was still filming the Variety show and that she was supposed to complete it with her sister, she hesitated. “Sister, can you do it?”

Liao Jiake said, “I can do it.”

She was also tired and wanted to rest, but she couldn’t.

They didn’t have many dates to begin with. Now that the two of them stopped at the same time, it would be even more difficult to complete collecting the rest of the jujubes.

“Then I’ll come back and do it with you when I’m done resting.”

[Ke Ke must be a qualified big sister. She cares about her sister at all times, afraid that she will suffer.]

[If Best Actor Xu was watching the live broadcast, how heartbroken would he be for Ke Ke?]

[The rules set by the production team are not fair at all. This group is filled with girls. How can they compare to the other two groups? We should have lightened their weight at the beginning.]

[My heart aches for these two sisters. I want to crawl into the screen and help them.]

[Director, I advise you to be a human and let the two beauties off.]

Lu Jinsen faced the beaming sun and worked hard while Meng Chuyuan guarded the fruit basket and stood under the shade of the tree, munching on sweet dates while supervising Lu Jinsen.

Meng Chuyuan took a bite of the jujube and smacked her lips. “This jujube is not bad. It’s quite sweet.”

[What is Sister Meng doing? It’s fine if she doesn’t want to work, but why is she eating?]

[F*ck, Lu Jinsen is picking jujubes in front while she’s eating behind. Is this something a human can do?]

[Can this sister-in-law learn from the sisters next door? At least help out a bit.]

[Forget it. She can’t learn Ke Ke and Sister Qi’s compassionate nature.]

Lu Jinsen inadvertently turned around and saw Meng Chuyuan eating jujubes. Lu Jinsen’s face darkened.

He had not eaten breakfast and was still under the sun. He was working so hard. It was fine if she did not help, but she actually had the cheek to eat at the back?

Seeing that she was so idle, Lu Jinsen felt very irritated. He hit the jujube trees with a bamboo pole to vent his anger. In the end, he used too much strength and the fruits fell randomly. One of the dates hit his head.

He didn’t know where it came from, but it hurt quite a bit when it hit him.

Lu Jinsen reached out to rub his forehead. His anger was burning in his heart.

He angrily threw the bamboo pole on the ground and turned to leave.

The bamboo pole swayed in front of Meng Chuyuan and fell to the ground. She looked up and realized that Lu Jinsen was about to leave.

She asked Lu Jinsen, “Where are you going?”

Lu Jinsen said angrily, “None of your business.”

“What? You’re willing to bet but not willing to admit defeat.” Meng Chuyuan knew that he was definitely going to quit.

Of course, if he really left, she would not stop him.

How should she put it? Anyway, participating in the variety show was just play for Meng Chuyuan.

Meng Chuyuan did not need to consider the consequences of not completing the mission. However, Lu Jinsen was different. This was a part of his career. If he messed it up, the company might terminate his contract.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jinsen suddenly stopped in his tracks. He hesitated for less than three seconds before turning around. He bent down to pick up the bamboo pole on the ground and continued to beat the jujube trees.

[Am I seeing things? Lu Jinsen actually turned around and is still willing to pick up the bamboo pole and continue working?]

[When did Lu Jinsen become so obedient?]

[I’m dying of laughter. Weren’t you very angry just now?]

[Hahahahahaha, this guy seems to have become a different person after turning around.]

[So what if she has a bad temper? He’s still obedient in front of Sister Meng, hahaha.]
