Chapter 109:



The next day



The weather was unusually cloudless and sunny, and the show had been on air for two months and fifteen days, coming to a perfect end.

Since several of the instructors would also be there, the team rented a bus. There were always a lot of fans squatting outside the company, not only the guests' fans, but also the instructors' fans who came over to send gifts.

When Jian arrived at the office, he was carrying a lot of paper and pens.

Jin Zhe was happy: "Is this your support gift?"

He glared at him and put the paper and pens on the table, sighing longingly: "They gave them to me because they heard I was practicing my writing."

Sun Liman came closer and the girl sighed: "Aigoo aigoo, your fans are quite generous, just this pen, it's a limited edition from Ling Mei, it's several thousand dollars, you need to practice."

Jian Shiwu said, "I have practiced well."

Su Yuluo proved for him, "His handwriting has indeed changed a bit recently."

"Really? Let me see?" Sun Liman picked up Jian Shiwu's notebook on the table and looked at it for a while, pondering, "Why do I think these characters seems a bit familiar?"

Jian’s heart suddenly tightened.

Although they must not have had frequent access to Shen Cheng's document drafts, but because he is the boss, once there is any document from him, they will definitely read it seriously and memorize it more carefully, so many people will have some vague impression.

Jinzhe said meaningfully, "This handwriting, why does it feel like it leaks of wealth?"

Jian Shiwu was a little embarassed at his look, snatched the book over and glanced at them: "Don't laugh at me, you guys!"

The others laughed as they saw how annoyed he was.

The company's bus arrived downstairs just as we were talking. The group hurriedly packed up their clothes and went downstairs, and from afar they saw Gu Duan and the four mentors coming downstairs. The man's red hair was very dazzling. Even when he didn't speak, his face was full of anger. He walked in the center of the four mentors with his hands in his pockets. He was obviously a design director, but he felt like the boss of the society walking about.

Not far from the bus, there were also fans cheering in support, and in the midst of the screams, Jian Shiwu heard a girl shouting Gu Duan's name with great passion: "Gu Duan!

"Gu Duan!"

"I love you, Master Duan!"

"Husband!"

The corners of his mouth twitched, and he turned his head to observe Gu Duan again, and discovered with some novelty that Gu Duan seemed to have a bit of European and American ancestry, his features were very three-dimensional, and with that expression that seemed like everyone owed him money. Are there are girls that would really like this type?

Master Duan walked up to him and glanced at him with unkind eyes, "What are you looking at?"

Jian Shiwu averted his gaze and said honestly: "Nothing."

Jian Shiwu wanted to sit in the back when they got into the car but because of that time he was lost in thought, Jinzhe and the others had already filled their seats, leaving the front available. As Sun Liman wanted to be with her mentor, Jian could only sit in the front double seat, leaving the outside chairs empty.

Gu Duan, who got in behind him, probably didn't even bother to go towards the back and directly sat down next to Jian Shiwu.

Jian Shiwu gave him a sideways glance in surprise, who knew that Gu Duan didn't bother to give him a look, just snapped his hat and fell asleep.

"......"

Sure enough.

Jian Shiwu thought about it for a while, but he didn't make a fuss. He pulled the curtain of the bus up and prepared to sleep on the seat for a while. But because it was a live show, the program group couldn't really let them sleep. He hadn't slept for more than ten minutes before the director came out to make trouble.

The person in front of him came out and said, "Everyone, we will probably get to the beach in the afternoon, we will have a little rest at the fishing village. We also prepared a seafood feast, but the top seafood is limited, so let's do a little game, the most correct answers will be able to eat a seafood dinner, okay? "

Everyone else agreed.

There was nothing they could do if they didn't agree, after all, the program team was determined to make things happen.

The director said: "Our little game is very simple. We will give the name of a classic work on this screen, and then one person will say a representative line of that classic work, and they will accumulate one point. That's the general rule, are all clear?"

Crowd: "Yes."

And so the screen in front of them all started to light up.

One of the classics that appeared was: 'Journey to the West'

The crowd laughed and answered:

Jinzhe: "Eldest Brother, Master has been captured by a demon again."

Sun Liman: "Wukong, the Master is thirsty."

Su Yu Lu: "It would be better to go back to Gao Lao Zhuang."

The conversation fell to Jian Shiwu's side, and he hurriedly thought about it and said, "Demon spirit, take a stick from my old Sun."

This time it was Gu Duan's turn, the man could not sleep was not in a good mood, he thought about it, opened his lips and said, "Second senior brother, the master has been captured by a demon again."

The car was silent for a moment, then there was laughter.

This one was considered a pass for everyone, but slowly, as more and more questions came out, the crowd slowly realized that Gu Duan was the type to really muddle through, and the more it involved some classic cartoon cartoons, or fairy tales, the lower the score.

Finally, at the story of Snow White, the others, the first few said in order:

"Mirror Mirror, on the wall, who is the most fairest of them all."

"You eat the red one, I'll eat the white one."

"Snow White is a thousand times more beautiful than you!"

This was a rather classic story, basically anyone can come up with a couple of sentences, but when it came to Gu Duan here, Master Gu, who has always been one to dislike the sky and the earth, got stuck, and his eerie silence attracted the attention of the others.

Sun Liman, who usually doesn't deal much with the project team laughed out, "Director Gu, isn't this a familiar fairy tale, when you are small your parents will tell this kind of bedtime story, right, and even if they don't, they will still buy the book for you, you wouldn't not know, right?"

Gu sat there, silent, the car curtain pulled up, casting a shadow over the man, the laughter in the car dwindled, the crowd looked at each other, and they all sensed something was wrong.

It was not their fault.

There were very few people who knew about Gu Duan's life, and only a few confidants of the project team knew something about him. While other children grew up in a safe and comfortable environment listening to fairy tales, some lived a life of such dire straits that it was a luxury to even live.

The others had no idea.

There was an awkward silence in the car for a moment as the others looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

In such silence, suddenly, a clear voice rang out, the youth's voice had a bit of laughter, "I don't know it either."

Everyone looked at Jian Shiwu.

Jian Shiwu naively scratched his head said, "Snow White is quite famous, but I didn't like to read books when I was a kid, my parents got sleepy when they told any stories, so I didn't even listen to it."

The young man's face had a bit of a distressed look on it as he spoke, and with his simple words, he managed to draw attention to him, the crowd was amused and laughed, the atmosphere in the car was once again lively. Amid the ridicule, only Gu Duan did not laugh, the man lifted his eyes and glanced at Jian Shiwu, the youth beside him noticed, his fair face was tinged with scarlet from the playfulness, his big round eyes were clean. The curtain of the car shifted, and the midday sun fell on his shoulders, like the moon glittering in a shadowy corner.

Time seemed to stand still.

He looked at the person in front of him and was unexpectedly a little lost in thought.

Jane Shiwu had just finished fighting with Jin Zhe, he was pinching his waist and huffing, pulling an ally in Gu Duan: "That kid is so bad, we'll grab his seafood later."

Leaning too close, Gu Duan returned to his senses, he realized his gaffe, so he looked away with some embarrassment, but the tone of his mouth was very steady and poor, a really disgusted look as he said, "Boring."

Jian Shiwu: "......"

Dog man.

They quickly arrived at the fishing village and had a full meal, although Jian Shiwu's score was not high, but he still grabbed a seafood meal. Although Jin Zhe was showing his teethe and claws, when the meal came up, Jian Shiwu would steal one first, if Jin Zhe dared to come over and beat him up, he would hide under the table, and there was a fury sitting next to him. He was used to it and wasn’t afraid, but the other interns did not have much contact with Gu Duan, the man looked angry all the time and they wouldn't dare to come over.

The beach was just around the corner.

The temperature was perfect, the seagulls were flying over the sea not far away, the waves kept hitting them, and the endless sandy beach made then want to take off my shoes and go play.

Because the crew said they would help prepare tents and other equipment, no one brought anything. The director smiled in front and said, "Everyone had a good lunch, right?"

The crowd nodded their heads in satisfaction.

The director immediately said, "Then let's play a game to take the edge off!"

"......"

The air fell silent again.

Pitiful program crew, pitiful game.

With the director's team's guidance, everyone saw the playground not far away, the beach was paved with shiatsu boards and at the end of a long stretch of road there were a lot of household goods, tents, mineral water, including some implements for catching the sea, small shovels, nets and what not, as well as pots, pans, oil, salt and vinegar.

Jin Zhe said, "Director, do we have to walk across the shiatsu boards to get the things?"

That was quite easy.

The director shook his head, "Of course not, but your half right, you have to win all these things by yourself. Now please, the eight of you take off your shoes and stand in front of your respective shiatsu board track, our staff will give you a mobile phone."

The crowd stood in front of them and the phones were brought to them.

The director held up the speaker and said, "Now, please dial a mobile phone number that you can immediately recite in one minute, apart from your parents and your agents. If the other party is connected, you should not tell the other party that you are recording the program. In this case, as long as they answer the questions correctly, you can take one step, and it takes about five steps to walk from here to the end, and one trip equals one household utensil. The clock starts now!"

What? How sudden was that?

Jian was stunned. Ater wasting about five or six seconds digesting it, he realized that the people to his left and right were already dialing their phones, his memory had been bad since he was a child and he remembered very few phone numbers, except for his parents and Lui Heng.

There was a staff timer there: "28 seconds, 29 seconds, 30 ......"

It was like a call to arms.

Jian Shiwu couldn't help but be anxious, as Sun Liman next to him had already started striding away.

That's right...Shen Cheng!

There was a phone number that he knew backwards and for sure, Shen Cheng was so smart that he could answer any question the crew asked.

It was as if he had found a lifeline, so he quickly pressed a few keys and dialed it out, and soon there was a "duu...duu" connection.

After waiting for ten seconds or so, just as he was about to give up, a familiar, low male voice came from the other side of the phone: "Hello."

It was answered!

He was about to blurt out Shen Cheng's name when he remembered that this was a recording session, so he coughed lightly, "It's me."

Shen Cheng: "Why this number."

"Er ......"

Jian Shiwu remembered the game rules and said haphazardly, "Don't worry about it, can I ask you a few questions now?"

Shen Cheng paused: "Yes."

So the staff member holding the sign next to him came over and showed the questions he was going to ask. Jian Shiwu previously thought it would be the same as the game in the car, questions that tested his memory and reflexes, but when he saw the panel of questions clearly, his whole body was stunned.

The audience in the live broadcast room also took a good look and all let out a laugh:.

"Hahahaha, how damaging is this question."

"Cracked up laughing."

"How worthy of the director."

Jian Shiwu broke down a little inside and looked desperately at the panel where it was written in black and white: If I and 50 billion fall off a cliff at the same time, can you save me first?

Below the panel was a small note: The correct answer to this question is to save you.

Once the other person answered incorrectly, a shiatsu board would be added.
