Don’t Mess With Sister Meng

Although Meng Chuyuan’s team had returned early after completing their mission, the number of people in their live-stream did not decrease. The popularity had been maintained.

While they were doing their tasks, the director finally came back and brought breakfast to the venue.

“Morning, everyone.” The director looked at the three groups of guests who had returned from their missions. He was still holding an unfinished meat bun in his hand and eating it in big mouthfuls. He did not treat them as outsiders at all.

When Meng Chuyuan heard this, a faint smile appeared on her lips. “Director, do you want to look at the sun above your head before you speak?”

The director had just taken a bite of the meat sandwich. When he heard Meng Chuyuan’s answer, he suddenly choked.

Everyone was amused by Meng Chuyuan’s words and the director’s reaction.

[Sister Meng: I really have to hand it to you, you legend. It’s almost lunchtime. Is that still considered morning?]

[I can tell. Sister Meng wanted to laugh at his alcohol intolerance, but she held it in.]

[The director acted as if nothing had happened, as if he wasn’t the one who drank too much last night.]

[Sister Meng, give the director some face, hahahaha. With this commotion, the entire country’s audience will know that the director can’t drink.]

“Ahem…” The director cleared his throat twice and looked a little embarrassed. He subconsciously put away the meat sandwich in his hand and was too embarrassed to continue eating.

After a while, the director asked someone to bring up the ingredient list for today.

Mutton for 25 labor coins, chicken for 20 labor coins, carrots for 6 labor coins…

As the director felt that the auction yesterday was not very economical, he set the price out clearly this time for everyone to choose their ingredients. Moreover, the ingredients were abundant this time.

After Meng Chuyuan finished looking at the price list, she was the first to stand up and make a suggestion. “Mutton for 25 labor coins? Isn’t this a little too much?”

The director replied sincerely, “How is it too much? Our production team also needs to cover the cost price of the ingredients.”

Not only did the production team set the price of meat to more than 20 labor coins, but they also needed to spend 2 labor coins to exchange for green onions, ginger, and garlic.

“Isn’t that a lot? We auctioned a dish yesterday for less than 20 labor coins. Moreover, we didn’t get much labor coins every time we completed a mission.”

Including the 40 labor coins from yesterday afternoon, Meng Chuyuan’s team now had a total of 90 labor coins.

Everyone had spent the coins they won yesterday on the auction. It was not only Meng Chuyuan who felt dissatisfied. The other two groups were also not satisfied with this price list.

Qi Zhen agreed. “That’s right, Director. Your arrangement is too unreasonable.”

Qi Zhen’s team came out last in the previous two missions. They did not have a lot of labor coins accumulated. If they really had to exchange according to the production team’s price list, they would not be able to save labor coins for later.

“Director, I also think that your prices are too high,” Liao Jiake said.

Meng Chuyuan asked, “Director, do you think it’s appropriate for us to work hard for an entire day when even the first place gets only less than a 100 labor coins every day?”

The director originally thought that there was no problem with his arrangements because he had done the same for the first season. However, who would have thought that Meng Chuyuan would stand up and undermine him? He was about to lose his face.

[Sister Meng is too brave. She actually dared to challenge the director.]

[Previously, I felt that the production team had given me too little labor coins. Seeing that no one seemed to care about this, I didn’t mention it at that time. I didn’t expect Sister Meng to talk about this today.]

[Judging from the director’s expression, Sister Meng’s words must have made him doubt himself. Amazing.]

[The director is not afraid of anything but he’s probably afraid of Sister Meng now, hahaha.]

[Director: Why don’t I give you the position of director?]

The director was hesitating because of them. After discussing with his colleagues for a while, he thought about it and felt that he had to follow the guests’ wishes.

After all, to the director, they were all ancestors who could attract attention for the variety show.

Especially Meng Chuyuan. She had a lot of momentum now, and she was a temporary substitute for the show. If she was unhappy, she could leave at any time.

The director thought for a moment and decided to compromise. “Then I’ll lower the price?”

Meng Chuyuan asked bluntly, “How much can you lower?”

“I’ll give you a 20% discount. How about that?”

Hearing that they could get a 20% discount, the expressions of the other two groups brightened a little. They seemed to be quite satisfied with this result, but Meng Chuyuan’s expression remained unchanged.

Just as the others were about to agree to the director—

“Why don’t you keep the ingredients for yourself?” Meng Chuyuan did not show her emotions on her face, but from her tone, he could tell that she was not accepting it.

The director: “…”

Lu Jinsen stood at the side and did not participate in the bargaining process.

Although it was a little satisfying to see the director embarrassed by Meng Chuyuan, he also knew that there was no benefit in offending the director.

This was only the first episode. If he formed a grudge with the director now, who knew what would happen next.

Lu Jinsen’s body tilted slightly. He lowered his head and reminded Meng Chuyuan softly, “That’s enough.”

“I know what I’m doing.”

The director scratched his head and ears, his face full of helplessness and defeat.

After a long while, the director compromised again. “Then tell me, what do you think is appropriate?”

Meng Chuyuan said calmly, “You’re a PD, why are you asking me?”

“…” The director was speechless again.

[Did you guys see the director’s expression? His expression changed instantly. Hahaha, aren’t you guys laughing? I can’t take it anymore. I’ll laugh first as a form of respect.]

[The director lowered his head, but not completely. Hahahahaha.]

[If it were me, I would be angry too. I’ve been doing manual labor for the past two days. Not only did you give me so little labor coins, but you also set the price of the dishes to be so expensive. It doesn’t feel like I can have another meal after finishing this one.]

[Director, you’d better know your place and change the price. Stop dancing on Sister Meng’s head.]

[Sister Meng is a badass. I’m just saying, of all people don’t mess with Sister Meng .]

[Yesterday, she banned several fake marketing accounts overnight. Does anyone know about this?! I dare say that this woman definitely has a backer.]

In the end, the director compromised and lowered the price from 20% to 50%.

Meng Chuyuan’s team exchanged for two meat dishes and two vegetables. When they left, they did not forget to bring her wild hawthorn and pine cones.

The sharp-eyed director noticed that Meng Chuyuan and the others had also taken two baskets, so he stopped them immediately. “Wait, what did you take?”

Meng Chuyuan turned around and saw the director staring at the basket in her hand. She raised her hand and asked, “Are you talking about this?”

“Has it been paid for? You’re just going to take it?”

“Are you sure they’re from your menu?”

When the director heard this, he looked back at the board behind him. In the end, there were really no hawthorns or pine cones on it. He could not help but feel a little guilty.

After a moment, the director pretended to be calm and said, “It’s fine. You can leave.”

[Hahahaha, I feel awkward even through the screen.]

[Little girl, Sister Meng can’t deal with you, haha.]

[The director is not in a good state today. He keeps making mistakes. Is he still drunk?]

[What’s wrong with the director today? Hahaha, haven’t you embarrassed yourself enough?]

Meng Chuyuan retracted her gaze indifferently. Without saying a word to the director, she left in a carefree manner.
