Winning the First Controversy

Lu Jinsen turned around and glanced at Meng Chuyuan. He said expressionlessly, “Can you stop eating? It won’t even be enough later.”

“It’s not a big deal. At most, you can just strike more jujube trees.”

Lu Jinsen: “…”

Meng Chuyuan saw that he had been busy for a long time. He had used too much strength in the beginning, now his efficiency was getting worse.

She finished the last date and couldn’t stand it anymore. She rubbed her hands and took the bamboo pole, preparing to go into battle herself.

Coincidentally, the supervisor came to their side at this moment. Seeing that Meng Chuyuan had yet to swing her pole, he went forward enthusiastically to guide her. “The bamboo pole can be tilted a little.”

“Like this?” Meng Chuyuan adjusted the angle.

“No, it’s too low. You won’t be able to get the jujubes up above.”

The supervisor adjusted her bamboo pole into a suitable position, while Meng Chuyuan silently let go of her hand at some point and even tactfully stepped back.

Because it was really too crowded for two people to stand together.

The supervisor could only continue to hold the bamboo pole and carefully say to her, “Set the pole like this and knock it down.”

Meng Chuyuan stood at the side the whole time, watching the plumber knock down the dates on the tree. The process was so fast, accurate, and ruthless that it ended in a blink of an eye.

“You were too fast just now. I didn’t see it clearly.”

“It’s okay, I’ll try again for you to see.” The supervisor was a warm-hearted person. Although he said that he would demonstrate once, his hands did not stop moving. He struck a few dates consecutively and was explaining to Meng Chuyuan non-stop.

The number of people in the live-stream suddenly soared, as if they were all here to watch Meng Chuyuan work. However, the more they read, the more the audience realized that something was wrong.

[Why didn’t you learn it just now? Why are you humbly asking for guidance now?]

[Why do I feel that she doesn’t seem to be asking for advice?]

[She doesn’t look like she’s asking for advice. She’s just standing there and not moving. Can she learn it just by looking?]

[What does this mean? Has the supervisor become her free laborer?]

[Isn’t this against the rules? They’re basically giving her jujubes.]

[She’s being a new type of shameless]

[666, I just realized that the jujubes being struck down now is for their team.]

However, this was not what Meng Chuyuan was thinking at that time. She only saw the supervisor come over to teach enthusiastically. She had to give face to the elders.

Unexpectedly, the manager was too enthusiastic. He grabbed a row of dates and slapped them again and again, causing Meng Chuyuan to have no chance to do it.

Lu Jinsen was also dumbfounded as he watched from the side. However, when he saw the jujubes under the tree, his eyes lit up.

However, Meng Chuyuan also participated in the striking in the end, and her overall results were not bad. The manager nodded in satisfaction.

Two hours later, Meng Chuyuan’s group was the first to put the dates into the fruit basket and carry them to weigh them.

In the end, they weighed 6.3 kilograms more than their intended weight. As they were the first to complete the mission, they were rewarded with 45 labor coins. They were also rewarded with 5 labor coins for collecting extra jujubes.

[What’s going on? Is the production team blind? The supervisor helped them just now. Why is there an additional reward of labor coins?]

[You can win even by cheating? Is this fair to the other two teams?]

[F*ck, so what if they cheated and won? Didn’t you see that their team had an additional 6.3 kilograms? This additional amount can be considered as coming from the supervisor’s efforts. It’s good that they won.]

[The person who spoke up for Lu Jinsen’s group earlier, were you paid? Going back on your word is going back on your word. What’s there to say?]

[Their speed is indeed not bad. If they’re first, so be it. But isn’t the additional reward a little too much?]

[Excuse me, did you guys watch it seriously just now? It’s not that Meng is taking advantage of the loophole. The problem lies with the supervisor. Moreover, the director didn’t say that this was considered a foul. You’re really worrying too much about it.]

Seeing that Meng Chuyuan and Lu Jinsen had already gotten their labor tokens, the other two teams panicked. Everyone chased after each other, and the two teams completed their mission within half an hour.

Qi Zhen and Qi Yan had obtained 39 labor coins. It was a pity for Liao Jiake’s group. The two girls had fallen to third place in this mission and only had 30 labor coins.

As the live broadcast variety show became popular, a large wave of related articles appeared on the trending list.

Many netizens were attracted by the title on the trending searches and ran to the live-stream to watch the Variety show.

Next, it was time to exchange labor coins for food. There was only one serving of each type of food. The rules this time required them to use the labor coins they had just obtained to bid for the ingredients they wanted through an auction. The starting price for meat was two labor coins, and the starting price for vegetables was one labor coin. The highest bidder would win.

First, the production team revealed today’s menu to the guests.

Meat includes chicken breast, beef, fish, roast duck, and pork ribs.

Vegetarian food included cabbage, lotus root, pumpkin, okra, tofu, corn, yams…

Before the auction began, the director specially left some time for the guests to discuss.

Qi Zhen looked at his sister and asked gently, “Sister, what do you want to eat?”

Qi Yan thought for a while and said, “Let’s buy a fish. It’s safer. There shouldn’t be much competition. Then, we’ll get cabbage. If there’s still money left behind, we can get something else.”

On the other hand, Liao Jiake and Liao Jiayan were also discussing countermeasures.

“Sis, I want to eat fish.”

Liao Jiake nodded in agreement and said without hesitation, “Alright, let’s bid for the fish later.”

[Wahaha, fish is so popular now.]

[I, who loves beef, fainted from crying in the toilet. Why do they all choose fish? Doesn’t beef taste good?]

[Everyone wants fish, hahaha! Brother Qi Zhen, charge!]

[What a joke. How can my Ke Ke not get what she wants? She’s the goddess of luck.]

[I’m weird. I’m actually envious of that fish.]

Lu Jinsen and Meng Chuyuan chose to remain silent. There was no discussion or countermeasure. They did not even exchange glances.

Three minutes later, the gong sounded, and the first round of bidding for the ingredients officially began.

Director: “First of all, the first item of the ingredients auction—chicken breast meat. The starting price is two labor coins. Let’s start the auction now. Call your bids?”

All the guests present were collectively silent, as if they were not interested in chicken breast.

Just as the director asked a second time, Qi Zhen was suddenly tempted. “Sister, do we want it?”

Qi Yan pursed her lips and did not speak, but she was also hesitating.

Liao Jiake’s group had the least amount of labor coins in the entire venue. In this segment, she became even more cautious and did not dare to take the initiative to bid.

Qi Zhen thought about it and decided to be more conservative. “Sister, why don’t we bid for it first? Anyway, no one is bidding now.”

She nodded and said, “Let’s give it a try and see if anyone wants it. If not, we’ll take it.”

After the two of them finished discussing, Qi Zhen shouted at the director, “Three labor coins.”

“Alright, three labor coins. Is there anyone else? Three labor coins going once…” When the director shouted for the third time, there was still no movement from the other two groups. This chicken breast was directly bought by Qi Zhen’s team. “Deal!”
