Lu Qi’s face looked very bad as he faced his two new partners.

　　Yu Mimi only hated that the wooden boat was too small. She was thinking about hiding in the toilet.

　　Instead, Jing Ke took a quick look around first and then asked Lu Qi directly.

　　”Where’s Lin Xingjiao? I thought he would be with you.” That’s why he chose the beverage shop.

　　Jing Ke didn’t say the second half of the sentence, but just from this, Lu Qi’s eyes were already cold enough to make people feel chilled and as if he wanted to kill someone.

　　Jing Ke soothed the goose bumps that appeared on his skin due to the hot weather. Wasn’t it okay for him to stop talking?

　　If he had known that Lin Xingjiao had chosen the rental store, he would not have changed it. The conditions of the bungalow were not very good, so he would definitely give it a try, just in case the new place was better than the bungalow.

　　He suffered the most.

　　Lu Qi now remembered that Lin Xingjiao seemed to be writing or drawing in the room before leaving. He was afraid it was a diary or something, so he didn’t go out of his way to take a look.

　　But that thing was probably written for him.

　　When choosing, they were in a small room, and the people inside could not see what the people outside chose.

　　According to the initial selection of groups A and B, Zhu Qingsang’s choices were Lin Xingjiao and Lu Qi.

　　Lu Qi let Lin Xingjiao choose first, and he didn’t care at that time.

　　It was at that moment that Lin Xingjiao handed him the folded note and smiled happily: “Then I’ll choose first.”

　　Lu Qi thought that maybe he should thank Lin Xingjiao for at least giving him an explanation.

　　He was too confident and didn’t realize something was wrong at that time.

　　Now, Lu Qi unfolded the note in his hand while recalling and read its contents.

　　[All the snacks under the bed are for you.]

　　Lu Qi moved his fingertips slightly, and wanted to crumple the note into a ball and throw it away, but in the end he folded it back into its original shape and held it in his hand.

　　On the other side of the passenger ship.

　　Xiang Wei was very surprised to see Lin Xingjiao.

　　”You can actually choose a store.” Xiang Wei sighed first, then seeing that Zhu Qingsang didn’t seem too surprised, she went to talk to Lin Xingjiao.

　　”Jing Ke used to always complain to me about the poor conditions of the bungalow. I didn’t expect that he didn’t choose it when he had the chance to change.”

　　Lin Xingjiao smiled, his curly hair making him look very cute: “I don’t know.”

　　Rong Jia looked at the situations on both sides, not knowing whether he should be happy or not.

　　The good thing, of course, is that although he clearly didn’t arrange a script, the six people were perfectly divided into groups of three.

　　The main reason for his unhappiness was that he was a little scared.

　　After thinking for a while, Rong Jia took off the headset that was used to contact the guests and told the staff: “Which guest wants to see me, just say I’m not here.”

　　His rules are already set, and they cannot be changed just because Lu Qi wants to.

　　Of course he didn’t dare to refuse directly, so he was not there.

　　Lin Xingjiao and the other two arrived at the rental store and found that managing it didn’t seem to be much easier than managing a beverage store.

　　This store is much larger than the beverage shop and has a wider variety of products.

　　Diving goggles, swimsuits, swimming rings, oxygen tanks, surfboards… everything is available on the yacht.

　　For people like them who have no previous experience in store management, it seems a bit difficult.

　　Xiang Wei sensed the pressure at a glance and couldn’t help but sigh: “Lu Qi should come here, after all, he has his own studio.”

　　Lin Xingjiao didn’t understand Xiang Wei’s logic, and asked eagerly, “Is there any connection?”

　　Xiang Wei said uncertainly: “Maybe he is better at management.”

　　”Hmm.” Lin Xingjiao wondered if he should go to the beverage store if Lu Qi really came, but avoiding him like this would be too obvious.

　　It feels like it’s about time now. He and Lu Qi have simulated a farewell, and they can still get along normally afterwards.

　　Lin Xingjiao naturally had no experience in managing such a large store, but his parents liked to accompany him, and sometimes they would chat with him on his bed, saying things that he could not quite understand.

　　Having been influenced by it, Lin Xingjiao is not completely ignorant of it.

　　”Let’s just open for business first and see what the customers want. We can deal with other things later.” Xiang Wei finally said indifferently.

　　It is necessary to keep business going, after all, they still have to compete with beverage shops, and the turnover of beverage shops is not bad.

　　The program team later said that the winning store can be the first to choose which tourist attraction to visit next.

　　Known duplicate attractions cannot continue, and the only additional attraction they have unlocked now is “Dream in the Garden”.

　　Although the name sounds scary, the guests had a good experience visiting Taohuayuan. At least the program crew did not act as stingy as they did during their business hours, asking for money for everything. At least the props were well prepared.

　　And the consequence of not being able to go to tourist attractions is that you will have to pick up trash on the island.

　　With this comparison, it is still necessary to strive for store victory.

　　The first day of opening was a bit dull, as only a small number of tourists knew that the cordon had been lifted and it took time for the news to spread.

　　So it’s not just the first day, there’s also the second and third day.

　　At first, everyone was worried that the store would be too busy to handle everything, but that didn’t happen.

　　Very free.

　　As for the living environment, the program team arranged a studio apartment for them to live in on Muguang Island, which does not require gasoline.

　　The daily commuting time is much shorter than that of people working in beverage shops.

　　Money became useful, but the store group began to run short of money. The sales revenue that used to be useless in the beverage shop was now extremely important.

　　On the fourth day of business, Xiang Wei suddenly said with a little sadness and anger: “We are going to lose.”

　　Lin Xingjiao sat next to her and nodded. Xiang Wei was quite competitive and he didn’t want to lose either, but the customer flow still hadn’t recovered.

　　Lin Xingjiao hadn’t seen Lu Qi in the few days he was here. He would occasionally think about it and wish he would have written one more sentence on the small note earlier.

　　We should tell Lu Qi to deal with the gasoline.

　　In fact, under normal circumstances, even if the guests really have nothing to do, the program team should arrange some activities for them to do, in order to justify their expensive appearance fees.

　　Unfortunately, Rong Jia is very busy now and has no mood to embarrass the guests.

　　He received a notification on the day when the guests were divided into additional groups.

　　It was said that someone requested that their variety show could not continue filming.

　　When we first notified them, we said in a nice way that we were willing to bear all losses of the program production team, on the condition that all images related to the variety show would no longer be circulated online.

　　At first glance, Rong Jia is not at a loss, but this variety show is his hard work and it is also his first time as a director.

　　After thinking it over, I still felt unwilling, so I rejected the man’s request.

　　Then all kinds of difficulties came.

　　Investors began to withdraw their capital, and even relevant departments in Haicheng came to talk to him, saying that it might be inconvenient to shoot.

　　Obviously nothing happened before.

　　Rong Jia wanted to find out who they had offended suddenly, but he couldn’t find out by himself.

　　He had no choice but to ask for help from his family. In fact, Rong Jia’s family was also powerful and he was a very favored young man in the family.

　　At first, his father was not willing to help him and asked him to stop filming.

　　Rong Jia was unwilling to give up, so he went to find his grandfather who doted on him the most.

　　Grandpa asked about the situation and said he could help him delay it for a while, but the condition was that he would come back to take over the company after the filming was completed.

　　He was given a day to think about it, and Rongjia is considering it now.

　　Then he saw that the guests seemed to have nothing to do. Although some of the previous arrangements had been completed according to his requirements, Rong Jia’s mentality collapsed. No matter how he looked at them, he felt that the ideas he had come up with were very boring, and suddenly he felt that there was no point in persisting.

　　He put on the headset absentmindedly. Today was the time for consideration anyway, so he would just put it off for a while and talk about it tomorrow.

　　Rong Jiayi put on the headset and was almost frightened to take it off.

　　He has been so busy lately that he forgot about Lu Qi.

　　But is this person guarding him? Why did he contact him as soon as he put it on?

　　Rong Jia took a deep breath: “Hello?”

　　Lu Qi’s voice sounded normal. He asked Rong Jia: “What are your plans next?”

　　Is it really okay for you to just ask the director directly what he is going to do next?

　　Rong Jia secretly complained in his heart, but when he thought about what he had encountered in recent days, he felt that it was okay to say it.

　　After all, they will be disbanding tomorrow.

　　”There are no arrangements. You don’t have to continue recording tomorrow.”

　　Lu Qi: “What’s wrong?”

　　”I don’t know where this person came from but he stopped me from continuing the filming. He was so powerful that all my investors withdrew their capital. The old man said that if I wanted to continue filming, it was fine, but he would let me go back and inherit the family business after the filming.”

　　Rong Jia started to complain incessantly, but Lu Qi interrupted him.

　　”I’ll invest in you, keep filming.”

　　Rong Jia: “…Dad.”

　　Lu Qi: “No.”

　　”But it’s not about money now. I don’t want to go back to manage the company!”

　　Then Rong Jia heard Lu Qi say calmly, “I think I know who is the one who told you not to shoot. Don’t worry, just keep shooting. You don’t have to go back to the company. If you are asked to do so, come find me.”

　　This is ridiculous. Rong Jia thought that Lu Qi’s cell phone is with him, and he hasn’t even connected to the Internet, so how could he know everything?

　　And if his grandfather was in charge of the company, could Lu Qi convince his grandfather? Rong Jia hesitated again.

　　Lu Qi is actually different from him. In the eyes of outsiders, he is still a youngster making trouble, while Lu Qi is already the de facto ruler of the Lu family.

　　Lu Qi continued, “But you have to adjust the rules.”

　　Rong Jia suspected that Lu Qi was playing a trick on him, although he didn’t know what the meaning of Lu Qi’s doing was: “How did you know, who was it?”

　　”Don’t worry about this, there won’t be any trouble. Two conditions. Our store needs to be the winner in the next photo shoot.”

　　Rong Jia glanced at the data: “You are.”

　　”Yes.” Lu Qi was not surprised. “Another one, the winner can choose the loser’s guest. All the attractions will be unlocked and the winner can choose by himself.”

　　Rong Jia was alert: “You want to choose Lin Xingjiao.”

　　Rong Jia heard that Lu Qi had disconnected from him.

　　Even if you think it’s nonsense, there’s no need to do this!

　　After Lu Qi hung up the phone, he thought of the man he had met in the beverage shop before.

　　He was young but his face was slightly pale, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness. He walked very slowly and his eyes were like a hawk. He entered the beverage shop alone, and Lu only saw two men who looked like bodyguards at the door.

　　He looked around the store and his goal seemed very clear.

　　Then he picked Yu Mimi, who was the easiest to buy, and asked her questions.

　　If the store hadn’t been busy at that time, Lu Qi would have noticed his strangeness and Yu Mimi would have said that he was exposed.

　　The man asked only one question.

　　”Was Lin Xingjiao here before?”

　　Lu Qi interrupted Yu Mimi who wanted to tell the truth and smiled at him: “What do you want to see him about?”

　　The man looked at him for a while, then turned and walked away.

　　Lu Qi sensed from his eyes that something like “I don’t want to say a word to him.”

　　He didn’t know how he had offended the man in front of him.

　　But after he left, when Lu Qi recalled his face, he felt familiar.

　　Looks familiar.

　　Later he found out that he was somewhat similar to Lin Xingjiao, except that Lin Xingjiao was more gentle, while the man’s temperament was full of unconcealed hostility, especially when he looked at him.

　　Relatives? Lu was just guessing.

　　But whether this man shows up or not, he will contact Rong Jia today.

　　However, the amount of information Rongjia revealed this time can be considered an extra gain.

　　Lu only had a hunch that what Zhu Qingsang said before was right, and he could try to confess to Lin Xingjiao.
