After Going Viral on a Dating Show, I'm Pampered by All-Chapter 121 - : Yao Hui: Can’t you handle this, kid? Boss: Im really tied up.

Chapter 121: Chapter 121: Yao Hui: Can’t you handle this, kid? Boss: I’m really tied up.

The director then turned and walked over to Sang Qiao and her team.

Sang Qiao didn’t hesitate to draw a piece of paper, on which was written “1.”

Afterward, the director arranged for a staff member to escort them, while the other three settled their order of picking by playing rock-paper-scissors, each drawing “2,” “3,” and “5,” respectively.

The five small houses looked almost identical from the outside, with no visible difference in quality.

However, when Sang Jiao opened the door, her eyes widened in disbelief—the house was in a state of severe disrepair, with a large empty window at the back that had no glass installed!

The ground was pitted and muddy—in short, other than a bed, there was nothing!

“…Fuck, am I really that unlucky?” Yao Hui couldn’t help feeling a bit sheepish; calling this place a refugee shelter would be an understatement.

[LOL, as it turns out, being the first to draw doesn’t mean you’ll get a good house.]

[I feel like Sang Jiao is losing her cool a bit; that look of disdain on her face isn’t even slightly concealed.]

[…After all, it’s way too dilapidated. They say work points can be exchanged for items, but who knows how scarce the production team’s work points are.]

When Sang Qiao opened her house, the interior wasn’t much better, with cracks visible on the walls, though at least there was a table and chairs.

The other three teams’ houses were just as run-down, even drafty, which was chilling to the bone in the heavy snow.

“Everyone who needs to sort out their luggage can do so now, then come together to sort out lunch.”

“Okay.” Everyone replied listlessly, their initial expectations for the houses having been hopeful, since the previous two residences had been so beautifully situated and nice.

No one expected the third episode to give them such a run-down house.

With nothing inside the houses, they had no way to unload and arrange their luggage, so they could only toss their suitcases in a corner before coming out to gather.

Lined up in a row, they saw the director holding two one-hundred-yuan notes.

“This hundred yuan is today’s food budget. A staff member will take you to the market to buy groceries. After shopping, make sure the quantity cooked is enough for ten people. As for what to buy, you can discuss it among yourselves, but the condition is to spend only a hundred. Saving money in the process and buying cost-effective groceries will earn you five work points, which you can exchange for daily necessities, just like ten work points. Going forward, the production team will not provide meals, and you will need to exchange work points for them.”

After delivering this lengthy speech, the director glanced around the crowd, contemplating who to entrust the money to.

“So, how do you determine what counts as savings and cost-effectiveness?” Meng Wange raised her hand to ask.

“It will be based on market prices. I know many of you might not be familiar with shopping at the market, but there will be a staff member to answer and give you a briefing.”

The director pointed to a comparatively tall and burly man next to him, who was also wearing the production team’s uniform, but with a face that seemed to be from the north.”

“Understood.”

“I’ll entrust the money to Sang Qiao then. Every purchase must be agreed upon by at least eight people before it can be made.” The director ultimately decided to hand over the money to Sang Qiao.

Although she often looked for loopholes, she was indeed the one with the highest task completion rate among them.

He couldn’t quite trust the others; they might lose the money before even reaching the market.

“Alright.” Meng Wange and the others naturally had no objections.

But Lu Tianxin and Sang Jiao were not so pleased, with Lu Tianxin muttering, “Everything’s working out for Sang Qiao, one might wonder if there’s an inside deal.”

“Then you take it.” Sang Qiao raised her delicate eyebrow, unconcerned about handling the money.

Lu Tianxin hesitated at the sight of the red notes being handed over, “I was just joking, no need to take it so seriously, you keep it.”

“That kind of joke is better kept to yourself; someone might think I’m getting an unfair advantage.” Sang Qiao’s lips curled into a faint smile, her clear eyes sweeping over her.

Sang Qiao’s voice was gentle yet somehow conveyed an oppressive force.

Lu Tianxin knew she could argue with others but never came out on top with Sang Qiao.

Reluctantly, she turned and walked out the door, “Buying groceries is a priority, let’s not waste time.”

Seeing that no one else objected, the director signaled the staff to follow and film.

The tall man was leading, and they set off in a grand procession towards the market, which was not far from their dwelling, roughly a five-minute walk.

Just reaching the entrance of the market, they were hit by an overpowering stench.

“What is this smell?” Lu Tianxin pinched her nose, frowning tightly.

“This area sells live poultry; you can have them slaughtered on the spot, so the smell is inevitable. If you need chickens or ducks, you can choose and buy them.”

The staff member in front immediately explained.

“We should have some meat for at least one meal, right? What do you think about chicken, duck, or pork?” The director suggested genially.

All eyes met, and Yao Hui, who couldn’t go a day without meat, felt uncomfortable, “Why don’t we buy a chicken and make soup? It’s so cold, drinking something warm would be great.”

“I think so, too.” Meng Wange’s eyes lit up as she nodded; her hands were freezing.

“Let’s buy it then.” Sang Qiao spoke nonchalantly. A chicken for around forty to fifty yuan was acceptable, and the rest could be spent on vegetables.

There were no objections from the rest.

Yao Hui couldn’t wait to approach a stall to ask for prices and picked out a relatively large chicken to weigh.

He hadn’t forgotten that saving money meant extra work points, “Boss, could you make it a bit cheaper?”

“This is already the lowest price. Do you want it or not?” The vendor was adamant, seeing that he was so well-dressed, hardly someone who would haggle over a few yuan, and wouldn’t budge.

Yao Hui was thick-skinned; he winked suggestively, hoping the vendor would notice the camera behind him, and then continued, “Just make it a little cheaper, even 50 cents would do!”

The vendor was chilled to see a grown man flirting and winking, utterly missing his covert signal.

“Why are you batting your eyes at a grown man like me?”

Yao Hui: “…”

“You must’ve watched too much TV lately, thinking that being handsome will feed you. Brother, look at you, with arms and legs intact, don’t daydream about unnecessary things.”

The vendor thought he was shamed by being called out and became increasingly energetic in his lecture.

The rest waiting behind couldn’t help but want to laugh.

[Yao Hui is going to kill me, not even able to haggle over 50 cents, and getting lectured by the vendor.]

[Yao Hui: Little thing, can’t I take you down? Vendor: ←_←.]

[So what does the vendor think Yao Hui is up to? Does he think he’s trying to survive on his looks? Ridiculous.]
