After the group arranged their accommodation, they went to Zhou Jiaxin's room for a meeting.
"Three thousand yuan to check in at so many attractions, I just feel it's a bit impossible," Cui Mantong propped her chin with both hands, looking at the mission card on the table, and complained to the camera with a hint of breakdown, "Are the production team really trying to mess with us?"
"I think so too," Zhou Jiaxin agreed. "And we have to complete it within the specified time, which is almost impossible."
"There will always be a way," Chen Huan said, looking at the check-in locations on the table. "At least we don't have to worry about accommodation for now. The key is transportation, and how to reasonably connect these attractions to save time and maximize the utilization of money."
[I feel like Chen Huan is very clear in her thoughts and words. If she were in the entertainment industry, I think I would become her fan. She's such a beautiful and cool young lady. I just don't understand why such a girl is enthusiastic about being a stepmother?]
[Maybe her husband is rich? Like Fang Miaomiao's husband, who is rich, old, and can't control her. If I were a woman, I would definitely find a man like that, rich and able to do whatever I want.]
[Are you guys on the internet or just not thinking straight? Fang Miaomiao explained it very clearly in the live broadcast. Are you haters just going to bite at anything you see? Her husband just doesn't want to show himself, and you're saying all sorts of things about him. I'm really impressed.]
[Why argue with people like this? I usually just go to their profile and report them. Is the moderator not working today? Come out quickly and do your job. These trolls are too annoying.]
"Hmm... I checked, and the hotel we're staying at is quite close to most of the attractions. We can ride electric bikes to visit the surrounding attractions first," Fang Miaomiao remembered something important. "Is there anyone among us who doesn't know how to ride an electric bike?"
"Sorry, I'm not very good at it."
"Me neither," Cui Mantong raised her hand.
Chen Huan suggested, "We can also use buses or light rail. We can discuss with the director later, as long as not too many people follow us. For places farther away, we can rent a car."
"That works too," Fang Miaomiao nodded.
"Senior Jiaxin, I feel like I'm just here to make up the numbers," Cui Mantong sat next to Zhou Jiaxin, looking like she was about to cry.
"Hahaha, it's okay. We're not very familiar with these things, so we'll just obediently listen and follow them," Zhou Jiaxin said with a kind smile. "I haven't been out to play like this in a long time. I feel like I'll be a few years younger by staying with you all."
"Not at all, Senior Jiaxin isn't old at all, you're clearly a beauty."
"Hahaha." Zhou Jiaxin patted Cui Mantong's arm. "Miaomiao, Huanhuan, this might be a bit tough on you."
"It's nothing," Fang Miaomiao waved her hand indifferently.
[Why do I feel like Fang Miaomiao is so casual and doesn't have any brains? She clearly said that Chen Huan and she would make the decisions, not consulting anyone else. But Fang Miaomiao just agreed as if she's really that important?]
[Don't be so awkward, the previous commenter. I'm Mantong's fan. We fans all know that Sister Mantong didn't mean it that way. Sister Mantong just doesn't like to use her brain. Please, the person above, don't sow discord between Mantong and Miaomiao, thank you.]
[Exactly, neither Mantong nor our fans would misunderstand, thank you. On the contrary, we are very grateful to Miaomiao and Huanhuan for taking charge and making decisions.]
[Cui Mantong: Are you all promoting me like this to others? Don't I have any dignity? Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter. And haters, get lost. Trying to sow discord between Miaomiao and Mantong, aren't you afraid of karma befalling your masters?]
The live broadcast was in an uproar, while the hotel room was filled with harmony.
"Since that's the case, then it's happily decided. I checked the weather, and the temperature this afternoon isn't high, so we can have lunch and then take the children to a nearby wildlife park. Since it's summer vacation, the tickets aren't expensive."
"Okay."
"Alright."
After everyone answered in unison, they returned to their rooms to prepare sun protection, water, and other necessities for the children.
An hour later.
Everyone, fully prepared, appeared in the hotel lobby.
"You're starting today?" Chen Tianming asked in a good mood.
"Of course. Director, I suddenly thought of something I need to confirm with you."
"Of course, go ahead and say it."
"The staff's expenses are not included in this 3,000 yuan, right?"
Chen Tianming looked at Fang Miaomiao with a half-smile.
Fang Miaomiao stated, not at all guilty and with justification, "It's just in case you try to go back on your word."
"When have I ever gone back on my word?" Chen Tianming glared at Fang Miaomiao, stroking his beard. "You've ruined my reputation."
Fang Miaomiao spread her hands, feigning innocence. "It can't be helped. There's only so much budget. We have to be clear about things, right?"
"Go, go, go. An'an, quickly take your mother away, or I might be tempted to take back all your budget."
Fang Miaomiao saluted, hugged Wen Yan'an, and ran off.
"Miaomiao, you didn't see the look in Director Tianming's eyes just now. He looked like he wanted to eat you."
"He's so stingy. Fortunately, I have a membership card for August Hotel with me, otherwise we might all end up sleeping on the streets."
"Sleeping on the streets would be nice. The ground as a bed, the sky as a blanket. If the weather is good, we might even see stars."
"I rarely see stars even in big cities." Cui Mantong remembered. "Huanhuan, what you said just now, does it mean you've slept on the streets before?"
"Yes, it felt quite good."
Ye Nan didn't speak, but reached out and grabbed Chen Huan's hand.
Chen Huan knew they had misunderstood, so she could only smile wryly and hold Ye Nan's hand. "Don't be afraid, that period of time was actually quite good. It wasn't as bad as you imagine."
"Sleeping on the streets must be cool, just like when we slept on the beach," Wu Yueyuan said excitedly. "Mom, can we go sleep on the beach again someday?"
"As long as you don't frown at seafood," Zhou Jiaxin said with a smile. "You don't know, after that deserted island episode, Yuan Yuan didn't eat seafood for a while."
"It's all the same. Don't talk about the children; even the adults couldn't handle it."
"Hmph." Seeing everyone laughing, Wu Yueyuan shyly pulled her hand away and went to find Ye Nan, causing the adults behind them to laugh even more.
