A Favor Done, A Husband Won-Chapter 567 - 561: Sweet Extra – Celebrity Couple Variety Show 46
Chatting was going on, and Zhang Kerong had already come out, looking curiously towards this side as she walked out the door of the guesthouse: "Where, where? Who’s wearing glasses? How good looking? Who is it? Mr. Jing?"
Saying that, Zhang Kerong’s gaze directly locked onto Jing Jihan, saying excitedly: "Huh? Glasses?"
Her gaze fell and saw it in his hand, Zhang Kerong looked even more curious and happy: "Why did you take them off? Mr. Jing, wear them again, let me see?"
Jing Jihan’s indifferent gaze swept over her inexplicable longing and excitement for just a second, then expressionlessly withdrew his sight, casually handing the glasses to Shi Su, who had just come out of the tent, signaling her to go back in and put them away for him.
Shi Su took the glasses and went back inside.
The scene was not only silently ignoring but also a cold rejection.
Not to mention Zhang Kerong feeling a bit awkward, Hao Jin and Meng Li, as well as Luo Fang and Xu Qingqing, all directly fell silent, choosing not to continue the topic to avoid extending anyone’s awkwardness further.
Until everyone was ready, actually, the cameras had been recording all along, but most of this content would need post-editing, with occasional little moves or chit-chat or those trying to sneak a peek at their phones being allowed to happen midway.
The director gave a detailed introduction of the tourism industry in L City and the ancient towns around here, along with some tropical forest plants.
And then announced the first task of the day.
Collecting rubber.
The province where L City is located is a major domestic producer of rubber, frequently exporting abroad.
Rubber trees are a typical tropical rainforest species, and they are tall perennial tropical canopy trees with an economic lifespan of 30-40 years. The latex they secrete is an important industrial raw material, and the world’s natural rubber is largely produced by rubber trees. Rubberwood is light, has beautiful patterns, good processing performance, and after chemical treatment can be used to make high-end furniture, fiberboard, plywood, pulp, etc.
Their next destination is G City, which they plan to visit tomorrow afternoon, but the budget left from before might not even cover a whole day’s meals, let alone enough to pay for the travel to G City, accommodation fees, and the first meal upon arrival.
Therefore, they need to collect enough rubber today and supply it to the nearby rubber factory to earn a corresponding salary, then pool it together to cover various expenses.
That is to say, this show might not count as a survival on a deserted island, but if they truly can’t scrape together the accommodation cost for the next stop, there’s a possibility that everyone might have to camp outside. If they want better traveling conditions, they’ll have to rely on their own hands to earn it.
Although everyone roughly anticipated this arrangement before participating in the show, the weather is hot, the conditions too demanding, and having to actually do these tasks, many guests are more or less not too willing deep down.
But for the program’s exposure, to attract fans, and for the recording fee of each episode, everyone’s face was full of enthusiastic and expectant smiles.
Only Ami quietly complained: "So director, you’ve calculated it out to give each of us an initial budget of not more than a hundred bucks per episode after completing these twelve episodes, right?"
Wei Sinan was standing next to her, didn’t respond to her complaint, but could see her thin arms and legs already going ahead to pick up the rubber bowls, stretching out to take over the tools, with him taking them from her.
