Chapter 737: Chapter 737: Look at the Legs
The first image that played was of a lush green mountain.
The camera zoomed in.
Patches of farmland.
Patches of orchards.
Rivers clear to the bottom, small fish and shrimp visible within.
Farmhouses here and there.
Flocks of chickens, ducks, cows, and sheep.
All these scenes composed a picture as poetic and picturesque as a painting.
This director’s skill is quite high.
The camera then landed on Jiang Xiaoyan.
She was wearing faded jeans, a black T-shirt, and what looked like very cheap canvas shoes.
Everything she had on probably didn’t add up to a hundred yuan.
Many viewers recognized Jiang Xiaoyan.
They left comments:
“Does Mr. Jiang always dress so plainly?”
“Seeing Mr. Jiang’s outfit, I’m really looking forward to this variety show.”
“Exactly, it looks so well-matched with the pastoral setting, you can tell Mr. Jiang put his heart into producing this.”
——————
In front of outsiders, Jiang Xiaoyan had always appeared obedient and cute.
Apart from those closest to her, no one knew that this little girl was a ruthless and scheming dark horse.
“Welcome everyone to our Pastoral Life, let’s welcome the other guests.”
“Let’s start with Miss Tian’er.”
As the words fell, a sweet-looking girl about 1.6 meters tall appeared on the camera.
She greeted everyone with a shy smile.
Tian’er, a third-tier actress.
She became famous for several low-budget but successful sweet dramas.
Currently, she is under contract with Nuomi Entertainment.
As soon as she appeared, her fans quickly filled the screen with messages.
“Tiantian is still so cute today.”
“My mom asked me why I drink my coffee without sugar, and I said that seeing Tiantian, it’s already too sweet without it.”
——————
“Let’s welcome our next guest, Liu Ruyan.”
A girl with short hair appeared in front of the camera.
Quite tall, about 1.72 meters.
She had a very sophisticated mixed-race face.
Her expression was somewhat serious as she nodded slightly to the camera.
This Liu Ruyan was a self-made star, also known as a home-based talent.
Without a signed company and managed by family, she recently starred in a minor ad and gained some attention for her tall figure and a cool, aloof face.
Quite a few people knew her.
Her appearance also had fans supporting the scene:
“Ahhh, Sister Liu is always so impressive.”
“Even though Sister Liu looks like my whole family owes her money, I still love her.”
“Sister Liu, look at those legs.”
——————
Jiang Xiaoyan, “Next, let’s welcome the extremely inspiring Zhou Qingyue, Miss Zhou… oh, not that, the determined in spite of disability.”
The camera panned down to Zhou Qingyue sitting in a wheelchair.
Although Zhou Qingyue wished she could give Jiang Xiaoyan a thorough beating at that moment, she still wore a gentle smile on her face.
She waved to the camera:
“Hello everyone, I am Zhou Qingyue.”
Her fans had been impatiently waiting.
Upon her appearance, various comments instantly drowned out the others:
“Ahhh, didn’t expect Old Zhou to still look so good even with a lame leg.”
“Above comment, it’s not like her face is ruined, it’s just her leg that’s damaged.”
“But was Jiang Xiaoyan being deliberate just now when she said ‘determined in spite of disability’ or was it intentional?”
“Deliberate, but not careful.”
“That’s a bit over the line, but I’ll forgive her this time.”
——————
Jiang Xiaoyan: “Alright, let’s welcome our final mystery guest, our… An Nuonuo, Miss An!”
The camera moved to An Nuonuo.
She also dressed very simply today.
Dressed in sportswear.
Face bare of makeup.
With a ponytail tied up.
Under the sunlight, it seemed as though her entire being was sparkling.
The netizens were all stunned.
Then a flurry of comments poured in like snowflakes.
“Ahhh, Nuonuo is also participating? Why wasn’t there any news about this before?!”
“Nuonuo, I love you; you’re my one and only!”
“The person above, weren’t you a fan of Tian’er?”
“Ah, sorry, forgot to switch accounts. I’m off to change it.”
——————
At this moment, a message, bold and highlighted in gold, appeared in the center of the screen.
[Wifey, go for it, love you oh]
This comment was posted by Jiang Xu.
Instantly, the netizens were abuzz again.
“Great, great, just watching a show and I have to be fed dog food (public displays of affection).”
“Why is his comment shining in gold?”
“Spend a couple of billion on the platform, and you’ll shine too.”
“Heh, what’s so great about that, even though I don’t have that much money, it doesn’t stop me from looking down on him.”
“The person above, I know you’re jealous, but hold off on that for now.”
——————
After a brief introduction, the director announced what the first day’s tasks for Pastoral Life would be.
Self-sufficiency.
All the guests’ mobile phones, wallets, and the like were confiscated.
There’s no convenience store around here either.
The program team only provided condiments, protein essence, cooking oil, salt, and such.
As for other matters, they’d have to rely on themselves.
Zhou Qingyue spoke up, “I think we can split into two groups.”
“One person goes to the village to see which households need help.”
“We help them with work, and in exchange, bring back something to eat.”
“The other team can go forage for wild vegetables or something; I also saw that many ditches have small fish and shrimp that can be caught.”
An Nuonuo raised her hand, volunteering herself, “I’ll take charge of catching fish and shrimp.”
Jiang Xiaoyan raised her eyebrows, “You know how?”
“Sure.” An Nuonuo blinked her bright eyes, “I lived in the countryside when I was young, I know how to catch anything, and I can do any farm work.”
“Alright.” Jiang Xiaoyan nodded, “But before we take any action, we need to elect a team leader.
Everyone can vote for who they want or volunteer themselves.”
An Nuonuo was the first to raise her hand, “I vote for Sister Xiao Yan.”
Tiantian followed, “I also vote for Sister Xiao Yan.”
It’s a joke. The boss’s wife is here.
Obviously, whatever the boss’s wife does, she will follow suit.
Liu Ruyan said coldly, “Same here.”
Zhou Qingyue felt uncomfortable inside.
If it weren’t for her current condition, she would definitely run for the position.
Now she could only let Jiang Xiaoyan benefit from the opportunity.
She said with a smiling face, “Then I’ll also pick Little Brother Xiao Yan.”
Although she was younger than Jiang Xiaoyan, she called him ‘little brother’ just to take advantage of him.
Off-camera, Jiang Xiaoyan made a throat-slitting gesture towards Zhou Qingyue.
Zhou Qingyue: “…”
The director’s team: “…”
Did I just stumble upon some major drama?
Oh my god, I won’t get silenced, will I?
Afterward, they split into three groups.
Zhou Qingyue stayed in the house to do whatever household chores she could manage.
Liu Ruyan was in a group with Jiang Xiaoyan, looking for villagers to see if they could offer any help.
An Nuonuo and Tiantian formed a team to catch fish and shrimp.
Each group was followed by a filming crew.
“Ah, over there, there’s a bamboo basket that someone discarded.” An Nuonuo’s eyes lit up.
She ran over.
Picking up the bamboo basket, “Hmm, it’s a bit broken, but I can fix it.”
The shocked Tiantian following her asked, “Nuonuo, you know how to fix this?”
