Let s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 44: Everyone’s Idol (14)

Editor: Atlas Studios

Su Jiu had really gone to find the equipment by himself. The village was so big so the production team would definitely not let them find aimlessly if not, this program would be too inconsiderate.

Usually, places with equipment would be marked.

If one found the marking, one could enter and ask.

Su Jiu found a family of villagers and they needed him to sun dry the grains.

Although Su Jiu had not lived a good life, he had never done any tough labor. Thus, his skin was baked until it was burning in pain as he dried grains under the hot sun.

“Huhuhu…” Su Jiu paused to catch his breath. He let go of the rake and his hand was filled with red marks which the cameraman zoomed in on it.

The young man’s white face was flushed red and beads of sweat flowed down his face. He looked very pitiful.

Even the cameraman could not bear to see that scene and reminded him. “Do you want to rest for a while? I will stop filming.”

Anyways he would edit the scenes later so just having the beginning and ending scene was fine.

The young man gave a slight smile. “It’s fine. I can continue.”

The rake in the young man’s hands was suddenly snatched away. The cameraman was stunned for a moment before he quickly moved the camera towards the person.

The girl wore a straw hat where nobody knew which villager she got from as she coldly looked at the young man.

Before the young man could speak, she threw him a bottle of water and took off her hat before putting it on the young man’s head. She then pushed him away and took over the work the young man was doing just now.

She executed the series of movements in one go and looked so natural as though she practiced it.

Even the cameraman was stunned.

Earlier, the girl was too lazy to even move so why had she come here?

Chuzheng’s speed was much faster than the young man and she quickly finished the mission. When she took the equipment, unlike the other groups, no joy came from finishing the difficult work. Instead, she calmly glanced at it before throwing it to Su Jiu.

Su Jiu hugged the equipment and touched the hat on his head before he worriedly asked, “Are you hot?”

“Next one.”

Su Jiu was stunned.

The cameraman was stumped as well.

Following that, Chuzheng used the fastest speed to obtain the full set of equipment and even the cameraman was shocked.

Whether it was doing tough labor or playing games, it was physically exhausting and they even had to cooperate with the filming, yet this girl breezed through it like it was nothing.

This girl was surprising!

Hence, on the second day, when everyone was still working hard to find equipment, Chuzheng stayed in the villagers’ home the whole day.

On the third day, everyone gathered up.

“Manman, Movie King Xie is so awesome! He almost got everything.” Feng Jiao moved towards Liu Manman’s side as she got infatuated with Movie King Xie.

“Of course, Movie King Xie is indeed awesome.” Du Ming whistled. “We can’t even compare with Movie King Xie.”

Liu Manman gave an embarrassed smile.

“Ay! Have any of you seen Su Jiu?” Feng Jiao thought of the young man and asked everyone.

“No.”

This village was not considered to be big so everyone had met each other during the two days yet they had never met Su Jiu and Chuzheng.

“Could it be that they didn’t participate in the activity?”

“I don’t think so. We are going up the mountain later. If they do not have the equipment, how are they going to survive?”

“Yeah, that’s right. Aish… I was so bone-tired during these two days. I was not even that tired when I was in the military.”

“That Gu Chuzheng… definitely got a sugar daddy. I heard that she used to be a small player and lived in rented houses.” Feng Jiao pulled Du Ming and Wei Jun for a gossiping session. “This time, if she managed to get equipment, it must be that the production team is biased towards her!”

Feng Jiao was explaining to the rest about Chuzheng’s story about getting in through the back door when a group of people walked towards them and Feng Jiao stopped to look at them.

Chuzheng carried a bag that was half a human tall. That heavy bag in her hands seemed as though she was lifting cotton and looked very light.

Su Jiu carried a small bag and obediently walked beside her.

This scene looked strangely lovely.

Liu Manman squinted her eyes. As expected, they had equipment… Liu Manman looked towards Feng Jiao and had a slight smile as she saw Feng Jiao’s displeased expression.

Over these past two days, she met Feng Jiao two times and both of them had a good talk with each other.

“Okay, everyone has arrived!” The director clapped his hands. “Next, we are going up the mountain.”

“Director!” Feng Jiao stood forward and pointed at Chuzheng in accusation. “Where did her equipment come from?”

“The equipment are all acquired by playing games or finishing tasks.” The director replied.

“Then, why haven’t we seen her in the village?” Feng Jiao was in disbelief.

“Teacher Gu had already gathered all the necessary equipment on the first day.” The director continued. “Are there any more questions?”

Everyone was speechless.

“How could that be?!” They had worked themselves to the bone in the past two days yet they had only found some of the equipment.

So how could she find the full set of equipment in one day?

Even Xie Zhou used two days to acquire the full set.

“The production team is fair and would not be biased to anyone.” The director seemed a little displeased as wasn’t Feng Jiao’s words suggesting that the production team did something secretly?

“But…”

“Feng Jiao, stop talking.” Wei Jun pulled her back and lowered his voice. “If you offend the director now, it will be bad for you. If the production team was really biased towards her, when the program airs, people would scold her as well.”

“What right does she have!”

“Stop.”

Feng Jiao indignantly glared at Chuzheng.

Everyone had to carry their own equipment up the mountain. Chuzheng and Su Jiu were lagging behind, but looking at the overall situation, the others were tired as well.

After they went up the mountain, everybody collapsed on the ground.

“Everyone, you better build your tents before the sky turns dark.” The director reminded them. “The group who finishes building their tent first will be rewarded with one set of scrumptious dinner.”

The groups sighed, but to prevent themselves from sleeping in the wild and getting their dinner, they still had to build the tent.

Su Jiu found a large empty space and put the things down before building the tent.

Those artistes were pampered since they were young so they did not know how to build a tent and the scene was in a constant state of chaos.

Chuzheng sat at the side and looked at Su Jiu who was trying to build the tent. Su Jiu was unsuccessful in building the tent and he looked towards Chuzheng with a plea of help.

[Little miss, a friend. Be a friend.]King immediately reminded her.

Chuzheng took a large breath and stood up before pushing him away. She built the tent in no time and received exclamations of shock from the other groups.

“Hmph! What’s there to be proud of!” Feng Jiao coldly scoffed before continuing to build her tent.

The rest of the people also dispersed after they were done looking.

The second group that managed to build the tent was Xie Zhou’s. Liu Manman immediately used her experience and helped others.

Finally, all of the groups built their tents and Chuzheng’s group received their scrumptious dinner while the rest had to find ways to satisfy their hunger.

The production team was done with their filming and left. Chuzheng sat in the front of the tent while her hand held a tree branch and knocked on the ground every now and then.

Su Jiu sat beside her, cross-legged. “Why do you seem to know everything?”

She paused her actions for a second and answered. “Hmm.”

Stars filled the sky and the night wind blew passed the green field which had a “shasha” sound.

Su Jiu repeatedly rubbed his fingers. “Director Gu, I have a question.”

“Ask.”

“Why do you want to bring me fame?”

“To make you think that I’m your friend.” Chuzheng tilted her wrists and the tree branch faced him. “Am I your friend?”

Su Jiu was shocked.

Who would ask others if they were their friend or not?

Su Jiu could not continue the conversation any longer and he touched his neck. “I’m heading in to rest.”

Chuzheng watched him entering the tent before looking away. She supported her chin with her hands and looked at the bonfire that was a distance away.
