A Favor Done, A Husband Won

Chapter 712 - 706: Sweet Extra—Married Couple Variety Show 191

"Director, I really can’t understand why so many things changed at the last minute, but this improvised script is really something else." Hao Jin laughed uncontrollably, then looked at Mr. Jing with sympathy: "I feel for you, Mr. Jing."After speaking, he couldn’t help but press his hand against his eyelids and sit there amused.

Jing Jihan also smiled, not minding Hao Jin’s incessant laughter.

"Who just said to get the murderer to recognize himself as the boss and have the murderer act as his little brother?" Luo Fang started quietly stirring things up.

Hao Jin instantly coughed: "That never happened..."

"How could it not? Mr. He recorded it just now!" Luo Fang laughed relentlessly.

Hao Jin’s mouth twitched.

At this moment, Jing Jihan also glanced at Hao Jin. Although there wasn’t any particular deep meaning conveyed in his gaze, just this glance made Hao Jin quickly sit up straight: "Director, shall we proceed to the next step?"

"What’s the next step?" Hei Xulun leaned forward to ask.

"What else? Submit the budget!" Hao Jin finally found a topic to turn things around and immediately took initiative like crazy, bumping into Meng Li’s arm: "Wifey, quick, check how much money we have left, submit it fast!"

Meng Li said nothing and slapped his arm.

But since the rules have already been set, there’s no choice, plus Hao Jin kept signaling her with his eyes, clearly wanting to hurry in getting Mr. Jing’s favor, Meng Li glared at him, looked down at her phone’s little electronic ledger, then said: "I have about thirty-something bucks left, this period’s budget hasn’t been issued yet."

Others quickly calculated how much money they had left, even directly pulling money out of their pockets to check.

The small denominations were almost scrutinized to pieces.

It’s evident how much of a psychological shadow everyone went through during the first round of budget constraints.

Shi Su, as the one who did nothing but was about to reap the rewards, finally took the chance to quietly lean towards Jing Jihan while everyone was counting money. Until she was against the man’s shoulder, he naturally raised his hand around her waist, looked down at her, seeming to think she was uncomfortable somewhere.

Shi Su leaned closer to his ear and whispered: "When they hand over the budget to us, should we really take it?"

Jing Jihan: "Why not?"

Shi Su’s eyes curved, whispering: "It’s a bit too cruel."

Jing Jihan raised his hand and gently touched her eyelids, making Shi Su close her eyes: "If it’s cruel, don’t look, just take the money with your eyes closed."

Shi Su opened her eyes and held back her laughter.

No wonder he’s a businessman.

When facing the most realistic issues, there can never be unnecessary compassion.

Shi Su understood that filming a show, the director wouldn’t really let guests starve or go without, most of it is for show effects, but actually everyone wasn’t allowed to carry extra money on them nor use mobile payments, and for a long time, everyone’s budget was indeed restricted.

Even when occasionally going to the supermarket, the group would pick and choose the cheapest drinks, or directly opt for bottled water.

While she was mentally calculating how to allocate this money when the time comes, the guests had already finished tallying their remaining budgets and successively came over, handing the money to Shi Su with a solemn look.

Shi Su looked at the newly added stack of over fifty bucks in change in her hand, glanced up to see Ami’s painful expression like he’s reluctantly parting with love, and couldn’t hold back, bursting into laughter.
