Chapter 128: Chapter 125: Obtained a Key Prop (Fifth Update)

The lunch was ready, and Guan Fengyan’s cooking skills were quite impressive, evidently practiced at home.

Everyone ate with great relish, especially the rice; each person had at least two bowls.

After finishing lunch, everyone continued with their tasks. With the points being so few and time so tight, they couldn’t afford any delay.

Ji Xizhi was also prepared to go with everyone to Aunt He’s house for the morning task. Director Wang stood at the courtyard gate and seeing Ji Xizhi being so cooperative with the program team today, he let out a long, deep sigh.

As the eight guests walked out of the courtyard, they were heading for the program’s task point.

A car suddenly pulled up in front of the courtyard gate.

The model was very familiar; it was Director Wan from yesterday, the director of the neighboring village’s committee.

As soon as Director Wan got out of the car, he saw Ji Xizhi, his eyes lit up and he said, “Girl, there’s a contract at the village committee. Could you come and help take a look?”

Director Wan said this while somewhat embarrassedly looking towards Director Wang inside the courtyard.

“Just for a little while, I really couldn’t find someone who knows the law, it’s really…”

After returning yesterday, Director Wan went online to check and found out that Ji Xizhi was a graduate student at Qing University Law School, truly a talent!

For villages like theirs, there’s hardly anyone who understands the law. Those who truly do have mostly left.

But many things in the village still involve legal matters, and it’s rare for Director Wan to meet a law student from Qing University, so he wouldn’t miss this chance. For the sake of fewer disputes among the villagers, he had to thicken his skin and come over.

Ji Xizhi immediately agreed, “Alright! I’ll go take a look!”

Just as she finished speaking, she remembered she was still in the middle of recording the program tasks and paused to look back at Director Wang.

At the gate, Director Wang’s previously cheerful mood dampened.

Helping the villagers is the right thing to do, but once Ji Xizhi separates from the group, she tends to stir things up! If she stirs things up, what then?!

Director Wang felt a bit uneasy, but after all, their program team was officially endorsed, and he couldn’t refuse outright.

Darn it, why does Ji Xizhi always create dilemmas for him?

Director Wang’s face wrinkled, but he had no choice but to agree, clutching his chest in anguish and deciding to let her go.

“Alright, you go!”

After speaking, he thought for a moment and added, “Ahem, Ji Xizhi, remember, come back early!”

[I understand, I really get Director Wang, because the worry about Ji Xizhi stirring things up was written all over his face!]

[This ’come back early’ was filled with the emotion of a father tearing up!]

[Old Wang: Where am I old?! (Terrified Uncle Wang.jpg) Merciless satire!]

Ji Xizhi understood Director Wang’s intention and had no plans to delay. She agreed and said, “Alright, I’ll be back early!”

This time, Ji Xizhi genuinely meant it and had no intention of delaying.

Just because Director Wang had deducted quite a bit of her points to exchange for pork money, she was also running low on points.

[Well then, a true worker bee, the cycle begins!]

[One body, two jobs, Ji Xizhi is on the front line of making things difficult for the director!]

[Ji Xizhi must be running low on points, yet she agreed to help without hesitation, still quite enthusiastic!]

[Am I the only one looking forward to Ji Xizhi bringing something back this time?]

Ji Xizhi separated from the guests, quickly got into the car, and left with Director Wan.

Director Wang watched Ji Xizhi leave, feeling increasingly uneasy.

But considering the contract issues from yesterday’s task card were all sorted out, it should be fine.

Returning to the courtyard, Director Wang instinctively wanted to lie down on the lounge chair, but just as he sat down, he remembered the “Uncle” from yesterday.

Director Wang’s eyes widened, almost bouncing off the chair, then found a spot in the living room to sit, picked up the paper and pen on Ji Xizhi’s desk, and started studying scene editing.

Director Wang had been in the courtyard studying for less than an hour when Ji Xizhi actually returned.

Director Wang didn’t expect Ji Xizhi to be so obedient, actually coming back as early as she said.

Director Wang happily ran to the courtyard gate, and seeing Director Wan’s car, he felt delighted.

But in the next second, seeing Ji Xizhi in the driver’s seat, he was dumbfounded.

Director Wang: “Why are you driving back, where’s Director Wan?”

Ji Xizhi skillfully parked the car at the courtyard gate, saying, “Director Wan was busy with something, he said you seemed anxious for me to return, so he let me come back first.”

Helping Director Wan review the contract wasn’t difficult for Ji Xizhi; she just pointed out a few key concerns, explained some specific terms on the contract, and then casually discussed the donation of a broadcasting system with Director Wan, which concluded the matter.

After concluding, some villagers came to the village committee looking for Director Wan, so he was too occupied to send Ji Xizhi.

Ji Xizhi planned on returning on her own, but unexpectedly, Director Wan directly handed her the car keys.

Ji Xizhi had keenly noted the broadcasting system, genuinely considering the village elders, which opened Director Wan’s heart to her.

Director Wan entrusted the car to Ji Xizhi, telling her not to delay the program’s shooting.

Both Ji Xizhi and her predecessor had a C1 driver’s license, so she could drive, but she didn’t immediately accept.

Only after Director Wan mentioned there might be other tasks needing her assistance in the coming days, did Ji Xizhi finally accept it.

When Ji Xizhi got in the car, Director Wan cheerfully mentioned a few fun places in Lishui County for her to visit.

Ji Xizhi agreed and drove back to the program team.

Seeing Ji Xizhi return with a car, the pounding heart of Director Wang finally settled, but it plummeted to the bottom.

Ji Xizhi got out of the car to see Director Wang in a state of shock.

She added, “Oh, right, Director Wan said he might need more help in the coming days, so he asked me to keep it for now.”

Director Wang: “…Com—pany—car?!”

[She’s back, she’s back again, Director Wang took her rent car card, and she brought back a car! This woman sure holds grudges!]

[Company car! Director Wang described it so aptly, haha, Director Wan is really nice! Hiring staff and even providing a car!]

[Indeed, I might consider returning home to develop my career!]

[Called it, got it right, Zhi Zhi didn’t let me down, she never comes back empty-handed!]

The fans couldn’t stop grinning from ear to ear.

Because of Ji Xizhi’s maneuver, the guests got hold of a crucial prop once more.

A car!

This means that the guests’ future outings and task points collection just got much easier. Initially, the program placed task points in various villages of Lishui County, intending for the guests to travel more. Part of this was to showcase the scenery of the villages as guests performed tasks, and partly to make it a bit challenging for the guests to earn points.

Ji Xizhi only intended to check in with Director Wang upon returning, and after that, she handed over the following camera operator to Director Wang. With fewer people, there’d be less space occupied, and she didn’t hesitate to put the camera from the operator into the car and set off to find the other guests.

The following camera operator with Ji Xizhi: “…” Feels like I’m on the verge of being fired.

The operator quickly fetched a car sponsored by the program group from Director Wang and followed after her.
