Chapter 216 - 202: Task Completed
After picking the tomatoes, Huang Hongcheng handed them to Zhang Jian: "Zhang Jian, my wrist is uncomfortable, so I’ll have to trouble you."Not a hint of embarrassment on his face.
Zhang Jian: "Oh."
Four tomatoes.
Anyway, he was quite thirsty.
He ate while walking, so he wasn’t tired.
And so the four continued walking.
Another half hour passed.
Huang Hongcheng got anxious again, looking at the hill ahead, a godforsaken place, he frowned: "Help me look too, where can potatoes and sweet potatoes grow? They should be hanging on branches like tomatoes, right?"
Li Xin: "I think so too."
Su Fengfeng: "Brother Hongcheng is right."
From behind, Zhang Jian: "..."
Hanging on branches?
Obviously buried in the soil, okay?
Idiot.
Zhang Jian didn’t speak, just wandered along with them.
"Zhang Jian, why aren’t you giving your opinion?" Not hearing him speak, Huang Hongcheng spoke again.
That look, as if he was the least enthusiastic in the team.
Zhang Jian twitched his lips, really wanting to slap him, and said expressionlessly: "I think the team leader is right."
Only then was Huang Hongcheng satisfied.
"Though I am the team leader, we’re a team, you know, especially since we’re both men, we should shoulder men’s responsibilities."
Saying this, Huang Hongcheng seriously handed him half of the cards without even looking, arrogantly saying: "Each of us takes half, Zhang Jian, that way we can find them faster."
"You have no objection, right?"
Zhang Jian: "..."
Going in circles, just wanting to divide the task in half for him.
Zhang Jian took it: "I have no objection,"
Zhang Jian said: "Leader, can I ask, does this mean I’m responsible for finding these and you’re responsible for the rest?"
Huang Hongcheng: "Yes."
Zhang Jian nodded: "I understand then."
So, ten minutes later, Zhang Jian was seen stopping in a vegetable field somewhere, then grabbing a hoe and smashing it into the ground.
Huang Hongcheng stared: "What are you doing?"
"We’re here to find crops, not for you to goof off doing work."
Zhang Jian didn’t bother talking to him.
But the cameraman was there.
"Leader, I’m digging for potatoes."
Zhang Jian raised his head, with a cold face said again: "Oh, by the way, just to clarify, potatoes don’t grow hanging on tree branches, they grow in the soil, and you can only dig them out this way."
This was obvious face-slapping for Huang Hongcheng.
Huang Hongcheng’s face turned green and white.
"Then you dig, hmph."
Then led Li Xin and Su Fengfeng to continue forward.
Ignoring Zhang Jian.
Li Xin: "Brother Hongcheng, Zhang Jian is too much."
"Why didn’t he say it earlier, no sense of teamwork at all."
Su Fengfeng: "Exactly, we searched for so long for nothing, this person is so selfish."
Huang Hongcheng: "I think so too."
Huang Hongcheng coldly snorted, disdainful deep inside, but acted magnanimous on the surface: "It’s okay, he doesn’t consider us as his own, but after all we’re a team, as the leader, I forgive him."
Su Fengfeng flattered: "Brother Hongcheng is still the best."
Talking on, the three gradually walked away.
After Zhang Jian finished digging up potatoes, he didn’t see them, and he didn’t plan to catch up.
He felt more at peace alone,
With cards and tools, Zhang Jian continued searching for the next.
The cameraman looked at him alone: "Zhang Jian, aren’t you going to regroup with them first?"
Zhang Jian replied: "This is fine too."
And then continued searching for crops.
In less than two hours, Zhang Jian found all the crops on the cards.
A total of seven kinds.
Meanwhile, Huang Hongcheng with Li Xin and Su Fengfeng climbed several mountains, walked several slopes, heels rubbed red.
They only found five kinds of crops.
Now Huang Hongcheng got smart.
Seeing large patches of green vegetation on the ground, he wanted to dig them open to check.
But with Zhang Jian not around, there were no tools.
He could only pull with his hands.
But his hands were delicate and smooth, tearing several patches of skin, making Huang Hongcheng incredibly angry.
He pressed his earpiece asking Zhang Jian where he is, Zhang Jian gave an address, but with mountains high and roads far away, who knows where that is, and they’re all unfamiliar.
So they searched for a long time without finding Zhang Jian.
The task still there, Huang Hongcheng had to do it himself.
After all with the cameraman present, he couldn’t let two girls do the work,
The result was the task unfinished, Huang Hongcheng’s hand injured, staff applied medicine and put on band-aids, but it still stung.
Another half hour later, Zhang Jian finally caught up.
As soon as he did, he was bombarded with questions by Huang Hongcheng: "Where did you go?"
"Zhang Jian, don’t you know we’re a team? Don’t you know we need to complete the task together?"
"You were holding the tools, we had no tools to dig crops, causing my hand to be injured."
Su Fengfeng: "Exactly, Zhang Jian, you’re too selfish."
They immediately quarreled.
Li Xin also sided with Huang Hongcheng.
"Zhang Jian, why didn’t you catch up after digging up potatoes? We even waited for a while."
All targeting Zhang Jian.
Seeing this, the director on the scene couldn’t stand it anymore.
When did they wait?
He wasn’t blind.
The walkie-talkie transmitted the director’s voice: "Red Team Red Team, your current task is to complete finding the cards, this is a program recording, don’t have conflicts."
"Huang Hongcheng, you’re the leader, take on the leader’s responsibility."
Hearing this, no matter how angry inside, Huang Hongcheng could only reply: "Yes, Director."
Seeing the sky was about to get dark.
Their task was not yet complete.
Huang Hongcheng questioned Zhang Jian: "How many have you found?"
If he hadn’t found anything,
Don’t blame him for picking a fight,
Hm.
But Zhang Jian calmly said: "All found."
The trio was immediately shocked.
Su Fengfeng’s eyes lit up: "You found them all?" Get full chapters from Nov3lFɪre.ɴet
Li Xin: "So fast!"
Just then, Zhang Jian opened the bag he was carrying, everything was in there.
Looking at this, Huang Hongcheng felt even more miffed.
His eyes were full of disdain.
Probably some country bumpkin, otherwise, how could he recognize so many crops.
But now, the three of them were hungry, stomachs growling.
No matter how proud Huang Hongcheng was, he could only put on a friendly face, changing expression faster than flipping pages, patting Zhang Jian’s shoulder with a smile: "Good job, Zhang Jian, having you is our team’s luck."
"You know we three grew up in the city center from a young age. Never really encountered these things."
"Looks like our team still relies on you, good brother."
Zhang Jian couldn’t possibly be unaware of his intentions.
But having walked for half the day, he really was a bit tired.
Wanting to return early to rest.
So he spoke: "Alright."
The sky was turning dark, gloomy.
Luckily there were flashlights equipped.
Each of the four carried one, walking on the overly quiet mountain roads.
Li Xin and Su Fengfeng’s hair stood on end.
Following close to Huang Hongcheng, fearing something might suddenly jump out.
Finally, after an hour and a half, the Red Team finished finding all the crops.
However, just as they excitedly headed to the gathering point with the staff, they saw the Blue Team already sitting on chairs.
And they were playing games!
