At this moment, Lu Yanhe didn't know how to describe his feelings.
He turned around and looked at Li Zhenzhen in shock.
Li Zhenzhen got out of the car and looked at her with a smile.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Yanhe said: "Sister Zhenzhen, what are you doing——"
Li Zhenzhen said: "When we were discussing what kind of tasks to set for you, someone mentioned the book 'Jump Up'. It is also a very popular book. So, we contacted Jiangyin Publishing House and decided to work together to produce this episode."
Lu Yanhe was surprised.
Qin Zhibai was still asking, "What is 'Jump Up'?"
Song Linxin hurriedly explained to him.
Qin Zhibai looked surprised and asked, "Lu Yanhe also wrote a book?"
"Yes, you didn't expect that?"
"No."
"None of us expected this," Song Linxin said. "However, he also agreed to write an article with me. My article will also be included in the book. Remember to buy a copy."
Qin Zhibai nodded, "Okay."
After a brief discussion, Lu Yanhe figured it out. "Young Days" needed a location and environment for the missions. Li Zhenzhen, knowing that Lu Yanhe was collaborating with Jiangyin Publishing House, decided to combine one of the missions with "Jump Up," hoping to return the favor.
If Lu Yanhe was drawn to Group C, his group would be assigned to the task. If Lu Yanhe was not drawn to Group C, another group would be assigned to the task. In any case, "Jump Up" would be featured on "Young Days" to promote the show.
Lu Yanhe was of course very grateful to Li Zhenzhen for this.
And their mission for today was also announced.
As three interns, they will cooperate with the marketing department to negotiate with various e-commerce channels and try their best to get the best conditions. Xu Xiaoyin will follow them throughout the process as a judge and give them scores.
Lu Yanhe was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Song Linxin also laughed and said, "This book is edited by Lu Yanhe, and there's an article written by me in it. The only person who has nothing to do with it is Qin Zhibai. Lu Yanhe and I will definitely work very hard, but Qin Zhibai may not."
Qin Zhibai: "I'm not that kind of person."
"But." Qin Zhibai suddenly turned to look at Lu Yanhe, "Why didn't you ask me for an article?"
"Ah?" Lu Yanhe was startled. He didn't expect Qin Zhibai to suddenly ask him this question.
Lu Yanhe couldn't say that he was not familiar with Qin Zhibai, so it was not easy to ask him to write an article.
After all, we had recorded an episode of "Xiao Ge Ju Zhong Hui" together before.
Lu Yanhe made an excuse and said, "I'm planning to ask you to contribute to the article later. I can't use up all the friends I know in the first issue."
This reason was quite lame, but Qin Zhibai nodded and accepted it.
"Then I'll wait for your commission later."
-
While Lu Yanhe was recording the show here, Chen Siqi finally finished her military training.
Even though I applied a thick layer of sunscreen every day, I still got several degrees darker.
Chen Siqi was a little depressed.
Because I promised Yemai.com to record the video, I have to record it and can't delay it any longer.
As the co-editor of "Jump Up", she, like Lu Yanhe, needs to cooperate with publicity channels to record several videos, which will be used as promotional materials.
Fortunately, although Chen Siqi and Lu Yanhe were on the hot search list together in the summer, there was not much discussion about her, and her classmates did not seem to know about it.
This makes Chen Siqi very satisfied with her current life.
After leaving Liu Wei'an's control, Chen Siqi felt like her life had opened a new chapter, and everything was brand new.
Chen Siqi is now very grateful that she worked with Lu Yanhe on the book "Jump Up" during the summer vacation. This allowed her to not fall into confusion after entering university, but to have a very clear goal to pursue.
She felt this way because there was a girl in her dorm who, having always pushed herself to study and finally gotten into university, started playing games as soon as military training ended. At first, she only played at night, but now she plays almost all the time except for bedtime and class. The game she plays isn't a competitive one, but one of those old-fashioned, story-based games with all sorts of dungeons, which is really easy to get addicted to.
Chen Siqi was just her roommate, not a close friend, so she certainly couldn't criticize someone else's lifestyle. She just thought it was bad. Playing games was fine, but if it became the focus of her entire life, wouldn't that be an addiction?
In school, many people are full of energy, but there are also many people who indulge themselves in the sudden freedom because they go from being supervised by different people 24 hours a day to being in control of their own lives.
Chen Siqi doesn't think she would indulge herself, but it is certainly better to have something to do and a clear goal in life.
Chen Siqi had a clear plan: during her four years at university, she would focus on "Jump Up." Regardless of whether the book could continue, she could certainly pursue her own media venture. Even without others, she could still do it. She wanted to give herself more leverage in her life. The more leverage she had, the more confident she would be in breaking free from the constraints of her father and Liu Wei'an.
Chen Siqi had no intention of destroying them. She just didn't want to be constrained and trapped under their noses like before.
-
Nowadays, there are many different types of distributors for a book.
Physical bookstores, large e-commerce companies, self-media operation platforms, live broadcast rooms of internet celebrities, etc.
As interns, Lu Yanhe and his colleagues actually have very limited things to do.
It is impossible for Jiangyin Publishing House to really entrust them with important and critical work.
Orders from many channels have already come in. Lu Yanhe also learned for the first time that orders for the physical version of "Jump Up" have exceeded 30,000 copies.
This is a number that exceeded previous expectations.
After all, it has not yet been officially launched on the market, and the order volume from major channels has exceeded expectations, indicating that the market response is better than they expected.
This led to the reprinting of "Jump Up" before it was officially released.
Jiangyin Publishing House set the first print run of "Jump Up" at 45,000 copies, and now has printed another 15,000 copies, bringing the total to 60,000 copies.
Lu Yanhe was still very surprised and asked Xu Xiaoyin, "Actually, this book hasn't officially started selling yet. Although the market response has been very good, why don't you wait until the first batch of books is almost sold out before printing more copies? If you print more copies now, what if they don't sell in the end? Wouldn't it be a loss?"
Xu Xiaoyin explained with a smile, "Publishing houses are responsible for this. They need to assess the market in advance. If you wait until the market tells you to reprint before you reprint, from printing at the printing factory to distributing to local distributors and then to bookstores, you'll have already missed this wave of the market. For example, you want to buy a book this week, but the bookstore tells you it's out of stock. Ten days later, when the bookstore receives the stock, you might not even remember what you wanted to buy. Not providing sufficient stock when sales are booming is a serious mistake for publishing houses."
Lu Yanhe nodded and understood.
Their task today is to go to the printing factory and become assembly line workers.
The first task is to pack bookmarks. Three thousand bookmarks are put into three thousand books and then packed into boxes.
The second task is to contact the dealers and channel partners who come to pick up the goods today, and deliver the books containing different peripherals to the corresponding dealers and channel partners in batches.
Nowadays, when a book is published, it will come with many peripheral gifts, and bookmarks are just one of them.
When Song Linxin heard about these two tasks, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Sounds simple."
But when I actually started doing it, I found that it was not that simple.
Three thousand books, opened one by one, and then put into bookcases.
By the time the three of them had packed the 100th book, their wrists were already sore.
"I'm so tired." Song Linxin shook her head repeatedly, "Let's take a break."
Several people nodded.
During the break, Qin Zhibai curiously asked Lu Yanhe, "Why did you suddenly want to write a book like this? Do you want to be a writer?"
Lu Yanhe quickly shook his head. "I don't have the talent or ability yet. I just did this with my classmates because we all love reading magazines. We originally wanted to make it into a magazine, but later it turned into a themed book like this."
Qin Zhibai opened one of the books and the first thing he saw was the table of contents.
"Jiang Yuqian also wrote an article?!" Qin Zhibai was a little surprised.
"Yeah." Lu Yanhe nodded with a smile.
"How did you get her to write this article?" Qin Zhibai was very curious. "I don't think I've ever seen her write an article before."
"The main reason is that we no longer have that channel. We used to have lots of newspapers and magazines, but now they're becoming increasingly scarce. Most people don't read them much anymore. Everyone has a cell phone, right?" Lu Yanhe said. "I became acquainted with Sister Yuqian after filming 'The Golden Age,' so I took the liberty of asking her for help. I was surprised she agreed so quickly."
Qin Zhibai: "So it only took you three months from the time you wanted to make this book to the time you finished it."
“That’s not a short time.”
"But you just graduated from high school." Qin Zhibai's eyes changed as he looked at Lu Yanhe, and he said, "You are very capable."
If Li Zhibai had said "You are awesome" to him at this time, Lu Yanhe would have directly responded with "Go to hell", but the person who said these four words was Qin Zhibai, who usually didn't talk much. When someone praised him so seriously, he really couldn't make jokes to get rid of the embarrassment of being praised in person.
Lu Yanhe said, "I hope this book can continue to be produced. When the time comes, please help promote it."
"No problem, leave it to me," Song Linxin said. "This is my first official publication. I've submitted articles to magazines before, but they all fell into oblivion."
"Your Chinese grades must be very good, right? Your writing shows that you are a student with good Chinese grades."
"It's OK," Song Linxin said. "It's mainly because I spend most of my time studying music. I decided early on that I wanted to study music, so I spend very little time on academic subjects."
Everyone was chatting when Xu Xiaoyin suddenly reminded them, "Just a reminder, everyone, you've only completed 272 books combined, and there are still over 2,700 books to go. This task must be completed before 11 a.m., and the 3,000 books are scheduled to be picked up at 11:30."
"Ah—" Song Linxin screamed, "Then we only have two hours. We have to speed up. What should we do? I don't think we can finish it."
Qin Zhibai said: "Let's get started quickly."
"How about we divide the work?" Lu Yanhe said. "Wouldn't it be much faster if the three of us divided the work? One person could turn the pages, one could put the bookmarks, and one could pack the boxes. We could rotate every ten minutes. Wouldn't that be much more efficient?"
"Let's try this."
The three people immediately started to act according to their division of labor.
Before, turning pages, putting bookmarks, and packing were all done by one person. Now, three people are working at the same time. It has become an assembly line. I don’t know if the speed is much faster, but it is much easier.
-
"Siqi, are you going out?" asked the roommate.
Chen Siqi nodded and said, "I have an appointment with a friend."
"Oh, I thought you were going to buy lunch. I wanted you to bring some back for me."
"I won't be back until tonight, so go eat by yourself." Chen Siqi said helplessly as she looked at her roommate who had been playing games since getting up.
"No, I can't leave. The dungeon battle is about to start." My roommate said, "I'll wait and see."
Seeing this, Chen Siqi didn't know what to say, so she left.
She made an appointment to meet Bai Yu.
Bai Yu did not do well in the exam and was admitted to another university in Jiangguang. The school was not as good as Jiangguang University, but fortunately the two universities were not far apart, so the two of them made an appointment to meet at a fried chicken restaurant in the middle.
After deciding to create the self-media "Jump Up Editor Club", Chen Siqi contacted Bai Yu immediately.
Self-media needs a chief writer with sufficient writing skills.
Bai Yu is the most suitable person among those Chen Siqi knows.
She is also Lu Yanhe's high school classmate and wrote a novel for the physical book "Jump Up".
Chen Siqi likes this novel very much.
The two had met several times in private, but were still not particularly familiar with each other. This time they met, there were two things to do. The first was to ask Bai Yu to help her record a video, and the second was to discuss what the content of this self-media should be.
Chen Siqi said: "In running this self-media, we have taken advantage of this book. We have a much higher starting point than others, and a group of readers will be converted into our fans. But now there are too many people running self-media, so we have to find a way to create our own characteristics."
Bai Yu nodded.
"Also, what kind of content should we produce?" Chen Siqi asked, "Have you thought about it?"
"Didn't you say it before? Film and television reviews, life records, and celebrity interviews." Bai Yu said.
Chen Siqi: "This is the most routine. We must have an update every day, right?"
"Yeah." Bai Yu nodded.
"Then different types of content must be arranged in the same way. We can't just post the same content continuously." Chen Siqi said, "Currently, the main writers of our self-media are you, me, Xu Zijun, and Linyu. In the early stages, we didn't make any money from this. We couldn't get commissioned articles, so we had to rely on the four of us to do it ourselves. But after it gets established, we may have the opportunity to take on advertising. So, I still hope to run this as a mature, commercial self-media, rather than just a hobby for a few of us to play together."
Bai Yu pondered for a long time, thought for a while, nodded, and said, "Then we have to come up with some interesting content to attract everyone to pay attention to our self-media."
"Yeah." Chen Siqi nodded. "Regardless of whether the book 'Jump Up' can continue, I plan to do a good job on this self-media. If it can become an influential account in the future, it will be the proudest work of our college career."
"I don't think too much about it. I just like to write something. I am very happy to have such a platform for everyone to see what I write." Bai Yu said with a smile.
Bai Yu was pleasantly surprised to receive a 5,000 yuan royalty for the novel she wrote for "Jump Up."
But Bai Yu doesn't write to earn royalties - she has always been writing, whether she gets paid or not.
Chen Siqi: "First of all, I will definitely do the most basic film and television review section. My goal is to have an influence on film companies, to the extent that they will invite us to the premiere of our domestic films in the future."
Bai Yu looked at Chen Siqi in surprise, "Will this be difficult?"
"Of course it will be hard, but I want to do it. If it's not hard, why should we do it?"
Bai Yu hesitated and said, "But I don't know if we can achieve it."
"Whether it can be realized is a matter for the future. Let's do it now. Only after we've done it can we talk about the future." Chen Siqi said, "Bai Yu, we all have to go to college for four years. Do you want to spend these four years just studying?"
Bai Yu: "Siqi, of course I'm willing to do this with you. I'm not saying I don't want to, I just feel that a few of us freshmen might not have the ability. I'm worried that what I write won't meet your requirements, and it won't be so popular with everyone."
Chen Siqi realized that it was his "grand goal" that scared Bai Yu.
After these few contacts, Chen Siqi has realized that Bai Yu is actually a girl with very little confidence. Maybe it is because she performed poorly in the college entrance examination and was only admitted to an ordinary university, but she often reveals a sense of inferiority when talking to Chen Siqi.
She was different from Xu Zijun in that kind of inferiority complex. Although Xu Zijun was also somewhat inferior and sensitive, she was always confident in herself. She was only inferior to herself because of her origin and family background, but Bai Yu was timid and cowardly by nature.
Chen Siqi reached out and shook Bai Yu's hand, saying firmly, "Believe me, you are very talented, Bai Yu. Lu Yanhe and I have both witnessed your talent. Besides, your novel will soon be released to the public, and then you will officially become a writer."
-
When Lu Yanhe and the other two finally installed the bookmarks for the three thousand books on time, at that moment, a deep sense of revolutionary friendship arose between the three of them.
Sure enough, one has to suffer and endure hardships together to have this kind of relationship.
Lu Yanhe smiled and clapped his hands with them, saying, "It's finally done."
Song Linxin said: "I thought this was a really simple job at first, but now I see that any job, once the workload is large, the difficulty increases exponentially. I feel like my wrist is going to break."
Qin Zhibai didn't say anything, but judging from his appearance, he must be having a hard time.
Although this was arranged by the production team, "Jump Up" is still Lu Yanhe's work. He said, "Thank you very much, everyone, for helping to promote "Jump Up."
Xu Xiaoyin smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work. You've been busy all morning. I guess everyone must be hungry. I'll take you to the cafeteria."
The program team did not arrange lunch for them, but took them to the cafeteria of the printing factory.
The cafeteria is not big, with about thirty four-person tables and two round tables.
Xu Xiaoyin helped them get food and sat down.
The three of them ate very heartily, and it was obvious that they were really hungry.
Lu Yanhe asked, "Sister Xiaoyin, have you ever collaborated like this with other production crews before?"
Xu Xiaoyin shook her head and said, "No, this is the first time. It has opened up a new idea for us. We should create more opportunities like this in the future to see if it can help us get more publicity."
Lu Yanhe laughed and said, "How's Brother Jiazhen's new book going?"
"We're still waiting for the book number, but we hope it'll be available before the end of the year," Xu Xiaoyin said. "Thanks to your recommendation, his new book has been very popular. The first print run is estimated to be 150,000 copies, which is a rare first print run in recent years."
Lu Yanhe: "As long as I can help Brother Jiazhen."
"He said before that they wanted you to play a role in the movie adapted from his book 'Nineteen Years'. Has he contacted you yet?"
"We've contacted them, but we're still writing the script, so nothing has been decided yet," said Lu Yanhe.
"He's in very good demand right now. Even before his new book was published, he's already been noticed by several film and television companies. They're in talks about film and television adaptations, and we're still following up," Xu Xiaoyin said. "Several of our contracted authors have seen Jiazhen's situation and asked if you could recommend their books as well."
Lu Yanhe was flattered. He waved his hands and said, "This is all because Jiazhen's novel is so well written. My recommendation is helpful. My recommendation is not decisive. Teachers, please don't bother me. I don't dare to speak."
Xu Xiaoyin: "Don't be too modest. You're able to go against the tide in today's market and publish a themed book like 'Jump Up.' Many writers and teachers have privately told me how much they admire your move. Your book has also garnered a lot of attention in our publishing industry. It's rare for a celebrity to be willing to undertake such a thankless task at the height of their fame."
Song Linxin and Qin Zhibai asked, "Sister Xiaoyin, how did you get to know Lu Yanhe? Was it because of his celebrity status that you approached him to collaborate?"
"No." Xu Xiaoyin shook her head. "One day he recommended a novel published by our publishing house in his live broadcast room, which stimulated the sales of the novel. I contacted him specifically to express my gratitude. Later, we cooperated a little and became closer. It just so happened that he had the idea of publishing a magazine. When we learned about it, we contacted him and wanted to get the physical publishing. In the end, it became a theme book like "Jump Up". We didn't propose to cooperate with him to make this book. It was the idea of him and Chen Siqi. From beginning to end, it was the two of them who worked on it. We and Yemai.com only provided some financial and technical support."
Xu Xiaoyin specifically said these words in front of the camera just to let everyone know that Lu Yanhe is more than just a figurehead in the book "Jump Up" - in the past when magazines were popular, many magazine editors did the same.
Lu Yanhe said: "Now that 'Jump Up' is about to be released, I have been nervous for several days."
"Of course you can." Song Linxin said.
-
After lunch, there is a short break of half an hour.
There was no dedicated lounge, only a temporary office.
There is only a sofa and a few chairs in the office.
After some discussion, the sofa was given to Song Linxin to lie down for a while, while Lu Yanhe and Qin Zhibai both lay on the table to rest.
The afternoon was another busy one.
Count the goods, contact various people, load the goods, and take inventory.
The work is actually not difficult. It is all very basic and mechanical work. It is easy to get started, but it is very exhausting because you can't relax for a moment.
At the end, when the sun set, the production team's car came to pick them up.
After the three people got on the car, Xu Xiaoyin began to hold a summary meeting for everyone, commenting on each person and giving them scores.
Xu Xiaoyin smiled and said, "I have to say, everyone's performance today really surprised me. The celebrities I usually see on the news are all very spoiled and difficult to please. I thought today's work environment and content would be difficult for everyone to accept, but I didn't expect everyone to persevere. Especially during the lunch break, you didn't complain at all. I was really surprised."
Song Linxin said, "I wanted to complain, but we're on a TV show, so I held it back. I wanted to appear hardworking, but then I saw everyone else working like this in the factory. We were only there for one day, and they were doing the same thing day after day. I don't think we have the right to complain at this point. Everyone is working so hard, and this is our own choice."
"I've never been to a place like this before. It's actually quite novel," said Qin Zhibai.
"novel?"
"Yeah." Qin Zhibai nodded. "When I was a kid, I was always curious about how books were printed. Today I finally saw it."
Xu Xiaoyin gave Qin Zhibai an A rating.
Lu Yanhe originally thought that his performance was an A from every angle, but Xu Xiaoyin said, "Yanhe, based on your performance, I should give you an A, but Jump Up is your own book, and I've known you for a long time. To avoid suspicion, I decided to give you a B."
"Ah?" Lu Yanhe was shocked.
Xu Xiaoyin said, "I can't help it. If I were to give you an A, all three of you would have gotten an A, but the director said that at least one person from each group must get a B. Qin Zhibai and Song Linxin worked very hard today, and so did you, of course. But after all, 'Jump Up' is your book, so to thank them for their hard work, I can only give you a B."
Lu Yanhe sighed, "Am I really that miserable? What should I do if I get a B?"
Xu Xiaoyin shook her head and said with a smile, "I don't know about that. The director team just asked me to type ABC, but didn't tell me how the evaluation would be used."
Then, Xu Xiaoyin got off the car.
The car continued driving and brought them back to the Young People's House.
Li Zhenzhen is waiting for them here.
They were the last group to come back.
Lu Yanhe and his group reunited with Peng Zhixing and his group. There were three groups of nine people in total, and all of them were visibly exhausted.
"I'm tired."
"So tired."
"What is your mission?"
…
After everyone talked a lot, Lu Yanhe realized that Peng Zhixing and his colleagues' task was to work as waiters in a restaurant, and Li Zhibai and his colleagues' task was to clean the animals' habitats in a zoo.
In comparison, they really have it the easiest.
Then, at this time, Li Zhenzhen came to announce.
"Thank you all for your hard work today. Congratulations on completing your tasks," Li Zhenzhen said. "Well, I have the judges' evaluations for each group in my hands. We will announce them later. Before that, I want to tell you about our new rules. This evaluation will be divided into group and individual evaluations. The group evaluation will determine the dinner each group will enjoy, while the individual evaluation will determine your accommodations for the night."
A group of people looked at each other.
"What? There's also a group evaluation?"
Li Zhenzhen: "First, I would like to announce that the team of Peng Zhixing, Xiao Yun, and Su Xiao received a rating of B. The reason is that your team broke three plates and failed to serve the dishes in time twice."
Xiao Yun immediately stood up and apologized to everyone: "This is my fault. I broke the plate."
Peng Zhixing quickly said, "It's okay, it's okay. Why are you apologizing so seriously? Sit down."
"Yeah, it's okay." Su Xiao also said.
Li Zhenzhen said: "This is your dinner tonight."
A cart was pushed in by the staff, with a total of four dishes. When the lid was opened, there was a serving of seafood fried rice, a steamed fish, an eggplant pot, and a fried egg.
"Not bad, quite good." Peng Zhixing said, "It's enough to eat."
Then the group of Li Zhibai, Yan Liang and Liu Zhiyin was announced.
"Your team's evaluation is C. The reason is that Li Zhibai was too slow in the individual segment, seriously delaying the progress of members Yan Liang and Liu Zhiyin. He also had a heated argument with Liu Zhiyin, which had a negative impact on the animals."
Lu Yanhe was stunned.
Li Zhi just lowered his head expressionlessly without saying a word.
Liu Zhiyin also lowered her head.
The atmosphere between the two people was indeed a bit awkward.
Why are you still arguing?
At this moment, Yan Liang immediately gave Lu Yanhe a look, indicating that he was fine.
Li Zhenzhen looked at the two of them.
"So, Li Zhibai, Liu Zhiyin, do you have anything to say to each other?"
"I apologize." Liu Zhiyin stood up and said, "I'm really impatient and lose my temper easily. Today, I saw that the progress was very behind, so I lost my temper. I should have managed my emotions better."
Li Zhibai glanced at Liu Zhiyin and said, "Don't apologize. It's true that I'm not very capable at work. Next time, try to be luckier and not be paired with me. I'm really not very capable at work."
The atmosphere was a bit awkward.
Seeing that they had nothing to say, Li Zhenzhen asked the staff to bring dinner.
Their dinner was much worse than Peng Zhixing and his group's.
A serving of ordinary fried rice, a plate of dumplings, a serving of stir-fried vegetables, and a serving of steamed sausage.
Li Zhibai's face fell.
Liu Zhiyin's expression was normal, without any expression of disgust.
When it came to Lu Yanhe's group, Li Zhenzhen said, "Your group is the only group to receive an A rating today. You have successfully completed today's task."
Lu Yanhe and the other three were all surprised.
The dinner they received was also much more sumptuous, with six courses, many of which were large, including a roast duck, a spicy crayfish, and a crab roe tofu...
"Those with an A rating will be able to stay in the Youth House. Those with a rating lower than A will not be able to stay in their own rooms tonight and will have to sleep in tents outside the house," Li Zhenzhen announced. "You will also have to build your own tents."
Lu Yanhe widened his eyes in shock.
ah?
"Living in a tent outside?" Lu Yanhe was stunned.
Li Zhenzhen nodded.
After announcing these things, the director team led by Li Zhenzhen left.
The remaining artists looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Let's eat, everyone is hungry." said Peng Zhixing.
"Then how do we eat? Divide into three groups?" Yan Liang asked.
Li Zhibai looked unhappy. He glanced at his group's dishes and realized that three people couldn't eat enough. He said directly, "I'm too lazy to eat. You guys eat it."
Liu Zhiyin said, "If you don't eat, will you have the energy to work tomorrow?"
The corner of Li Zhibai's mouth twitched.
Lu Yanhe whispered to Qin Zhibai and Song Linxin, "How about we eat with everyone? The three of us can't finish six dishes."
Song Linxin and Qin Zhibai both agreed, "Okay."
"Let's eat together." Lu Yanhe said, "There's only one table, why are we splitting into three groups? The director didn't say we can't share."
"Yes, let's eat together." Song Linxin said, "We only have meat here, no vegetables."
Seeing this, Peng Zhixing and the others immediately said, "That's fine, let's eat together."
"The director team is not a good person, but we are the ones who are reliable and love each other." Xiao Yun's eyes were shining with excitement. "Crayfish! My favorite!"
Everyone happily brought the dishes to the table.
"Come on, first of all, let's welcome our two new friends, Liu Zhiyin and Su Xiao!" said Peng Zhixing.
Everyone raised their glasses together.
"Thank you, I'm glad to be a part of the show."
"Please take care of me."
Once we started eating, there were surprisingly more topics to talk about than the last recording.
Everyone was talking about what happened when they were completing tasks during the day, and they had a lot to say.
Yan Liang said at this time, "Old Lu, it's a pity that you are not in our group today. The scene where Li Zhibai went to clean up the elephant's poop is such a classic."
"Everyone is eating." Song Linxin protested immediately.
Li Zhibai was speechless and said, "I haven't done as much work in the past ten years as I did today."
Lu Yanhe sarcastically said, "That's because you're too lazy."
"That's right." Yan Liang chimed in. "Old Lu and I are responsible for the sanitation of our dormitory, and you don't care at all."
"He's so lazy, why do you still want to be friends with him?" Xiao Yun asked immediately.
"After all, Brother Bai is a bit lazy, but he is very loyal in other aspects." Yan Liang said again.
Liu Zhiyin picked up the cup and looked at Li Zhibai, "Li Zhibai, I apologize to you again. I shouldn't have lost my temper today."
"Please don't apologize anymore. I'll be ashamed if you do." Li Zhibai said, "It's really me who held you back."
Liu Zhiyin said: "There is no such thing as dragging one's feet or not. We are all in the same group, so we should help each other."
Yan Liang nodded.
When Lu Yanhe saw Liu Zhiyin's attitude, he finally understood why Yan Liang looked at him and told him not to worry.
Lu Yanhe was really nervous just now, worried that the extremely tempered Meng Li had left and the bad-tempered Liu Zhiyin had arrived.
Peng Zhixing said, "It seems that completing tasks in groups may become the norm for our show. I guess everyone can team up with anyone in the future. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses. Let's learn from each other's strengths and overcome our weaknesses. Don't let the directors succeed. They just want to see us quarrel."
"Hahaha."
The atmosphere at the dinner table was harmonious.
