Chapter 226 - 212: Digging Lotus Roots in the Pond
The next morning, Huang Hongcheng woke up and called his dad, thinking that his dad could help him get back at the director and get a nice villa.As soon as Mr. Huang heard that he lost and could only live in a pigsty, he started scolding him.
Telling him to rely on himself and not think about using connections to cut corners.
A grown man without any ability, how would he survive in this industry in the future.
After saying this, he hung up immediately.
Huang Hongcheng didn’t expect that it was bad enough being in the show, and even his father would give him a hard time.
His face instantly turned dark,
Early in the morning, he wasn’t pleasant to anyone he saw.
The director was patrolling the set with the assistant director and happened to run into Huang Hongcheng. Even if they didn’t want to, they had to greet him, after all, he is the investor’s son.
But Huang Hongcheng stopped in his tracks.
He walked over, tone not friendly: "Director, I want to change rooms,"
"That broken pigsty room is simply unlivable – it’s dirty and smelly, not fit for people."
But the director replied, "You have to accept your loss, Hongcheng. We have another chance to pick rooms mid-month."
"A grown man shouldn’t be afraid to endure a little hardship."
Huang Hongcheng: "..."
He couldn’t help but say: "Don’t forget my dad..."
But was interrupted by the director: "You mean Mr. Huang, right? Mr. Huang just called us and said no special treatment for you, that you need some good exercise,"
The director smiled, "Hongcheng, you have to work hard."
Huang Hongcheng: "..."
He didn’t expect his father to completely cut off his retreat.
Huang Hongcheng’s face turned even darker.
Damn it.
"I’m not filming anymore."
Everyone is against him, right?
He quit.
Yet the director seemed to anticipate this, very calm: "Hongcheng, Mr. Huang also said, if you don’t finish filming this show, he’ll freeze all your cards and not allow you back home."
When Mr. Huang called, the director wasn’t feeling good at first, quite anxious.
Why would he call so early in the morning?
Surely it’s for his precious son.
But Mr. Huang started by thanking him for his hard work.
Telling him not to give Huang Hongcheng any privileges.
Telling him to let him endure some hardship properly.
Hearing this, the director immediately laughed.
It’s the first time he met such a rational investor, how could he not be happy.
So, the director wasn’t scared anymore.
Mr. Huang himself said so. Huang Hongcheng just relied on having Mr. Huang as his dad, otherwise, he’s nothing.
Huang Hongcheng didn’t expect that his father would even tell the director this.
This was basically deliberately slapping him in the face.
Huang Hongcheng’s face was extremely ugly.
He turned and left immediately.
Seeing his back, the director’s smile deepened.
At eleven o’clock they gathered, and the director said, "Today is our second day of filming, and also the first day our variety show officially airs, everyone needs to work hard!"
Today’s task wasn’t to look for crops.
But for everyone to go into the pond and dig for lotus roots.
The team that digs the most wins.
Upon hearing the host announce this task, everyone was both crying and laughing.
Going into the pond to dig lotus roots?
The production team sure thought of creative ideas.
But in the end, they still had to change into the clothes prepared in advance by the production team and head to the pond.
Chen Jiao sighed, "The pond is full of mud, it must smell terrible, and digging lotus roots, I’ve never done labor work from childhood to adulthood, and here I am, joining a variety show to do labor."
Jiang Ruan laughed, "Don’t think about it like that."
"You have to think of digging lotus roots as a form of exercise, it can also strengthen your body."
Hearing this, Chen Jiao couldn’t help but laugh, "Only you can think so positively."
This is something Chen Jiao admires about Jiang Ruan.
No matter what happens,
She always remains particularly calm.
