Chen Tianming's eyebrows shot up as Wen Zhiyan picked up the last perfume bottle, a smile playing on his lips. "Master Wen, are you sure?"
Wen Zhiyan nodded slightly. "I'm sure."
"Good," Chen Tianming said with satisfaction. "Master Wen has chosen the wrong answer in the final few seconds."
Wen Zhiyan looked at Chen Tianming with a hint of confusion, as if seeking an explanation.
Chen Tianming rubbed his nose. "Master Wen, you did indeed choose incorrectly. Shall I give you another chance?"
"Oh ho," Cui Tong chuckled maliciously. "So there's something that can stump our Master Wen. Master Wen, this doesn't make you seem like the person who loves his wife the most."
Wen Zhiyan glanced up at Cui Tong.
Cui Tong met his gaze, refusing to back down.
After a long moment, Wen Zhiyan said calmly, "If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. I admit defeat."
In the subsequent rounds, Wen Zhiyan did not lose again.
"The final round: Guess who your most beloved person is."
As soon as the words were spoken, the staff began setting up hundreds of back views in the courtyard outside.
"Among these, four paintings are of the 35-year-old female guests. You gentlemen have ten minutes to find the back views belonging to the female guests."
Ye Fei scratched his head. "The back views of 35-year-old female guests?"
Chen Tianming nodded. "Yes, these were drawn after communicating with the female guests, and they've guaranteed they are satisfied. Gentlemen, the timer starts now. Good luck."
Under the sunlight, the hundreds of back view paintings seemed lifelike, bathed in the sun's rays.
【I feel like all these back views look the same. Can the male guests really recognize them? First of all, I'm not a hater. For this segment, wouldn't Mr. Cui be the most likely to succeed? Man Tong is probably 35 or 36, right?】
【I think it's still risky. Especially for Sister Ye Fei's brother-in-law, Sister Huanhuan is only in her early twenties. Imagining Sister Huanhuan at 35 is incredibly difficult. Who knows what a 35-year-old's back looks like?】
【Look at the brothers-in-law standing still. Even Mr. Cui hasn't moved. It's really hard to choose. I can't tell which back belongs to whom anyway, they all look identical to me.】
Cui Tong was the first to move, heading directly towards one spot.
Wen Zhiyan was the second to set off.
About a minute later, the other two also joined in.
"Wen Zhiyan, I didn't even get to enjoy the glory of being 35 in my past life before I died. I'm so sad."
"In my past life, I wasn't this good-looking."
Wen Zhiyan recalled asking Miao Miao if she had any regrets.
Miao Miao shook her head and told him she never regretted it.
Would 35-year-old Miao Miao, while feeling proud, also feel a touch of nostalgia for her grandmother?
Wen Zhiyan moved through the countless back view paintings.
After an unknown amount of time, his gaze fell upon a painting of a hunched figure beneath a large tree.
【Wait, wait, doesn't Mr. Wen's movement seem a bit off? Why is he walking towards the big tree? Did Director Chen not finish handing out the paintings?】
【That shouldn't be the case. Director Chen wouldn't make such a basic mistake. We'll find out if we just keep watching.】
Time's up!
Cui Tong answered correctly.
Wu Lu answered correctly.
Interestingly, Ye Fei, who had been lagging behind, quickly and accurately found Chen Huan's 35-year-old back view painting.
"Master Wen, it's your turn to reveal."
Wen Zhiyan opened the painting.
【Holy cow, Miao Miao at 35 is hunched over? Impossible. My Miao Miao is so beautiful, how could she be hunched over at 35? Director Chen, announce the answer quickly!】
A flicker of surprise crossed Chen Tianming's eyes as he saw the painting.
He couldn't help but recall when he had asked Miao Miao for her back view painting. Miao Miao had proactively asked to draw a hunched figure, and her painting had taken the longest to complete.
Looking at the hunched figure, so different from the flamboyant and gentle back views, he repeatedly suspected that Miao Miao had guessed the show's next task and deliberately created such a back view.
However, seeing Wen Zhiyan so confidently find this particular painting today, he felt the matter was not so simple.
"Master Wen, can you tell us why you chose this back view?"
Wen Zhiyan looked earnestly at the painting in his hands. "This is someone very important to Miao Miao."
Chen Tianming raised an eyebrow but did not pursue the matter further. "Congratulations, all of you have successfully completed the final task."
"So, can I go see Man Tong now?"
【It's confirmed that Mr. Cui can't be separated from Man Tong.】
"Of course," Chen Tianming said with a smile. "But there's one more thing."
Cui Tong: "..."
Destroy me, Chen Tianming is truly annoying.
"Don't worry, don't worry, it's definitely good news, you'll all like it."
"Like what?"
"Like a barbecue tonight," Chen Tianming said to himself. "You all did well on your tasks today, so we'll give you two thousand startup funds. The barbecue party tonight is up to you."
After speaking, he seemed to remember something and continued, "Oh right, during this barbecue party, we will select fifty locals to cooperate with us and score your show. The group with the highest score will have priority in tomorrow's sightseeing activities."
"So, we not only have to prepare the barbecue but also the entertainment."
Chen Tianming nodded. "Yes, yes. But due to the tight schedule, heavy workload, and your abundant human resources, we thought you could delegate the barbecue preparations to others."
Wen Zhiyan was silent for a moment before saying, "You guys are really thinking ahead."
Chen Tianming spread his hands. "We have no choice."
After making a phone call, Cui Tong said, "The barbecue is sorted. Can I go see Man Tong now?"
Chen Tianming clapped his hands and stood up. "Of course, the female guests are in the villa. Please, gentlemen."
As he finished speaking, the men, without even a glance at Chen Tianming, walked directly into the villa.
Cui Man Tong hadn't even reacted before she was tightly embraced by someone.
"What's wrong?" Cui Man Tong asked, torn between laughter and tears.
"Chen Tianming bullied me, he set so many challenges for me, and wouldn't let me see you."
Cui Man Tong patted Cui Tong's back and whispered comfortingly, "It's okay, you see, you're here now, aren't you? I saw that my Cui Tong is very capable, overcoming all obstacles to see me. How could my Cui Tong not be so powerful?"
Cui Tong held her tightly, refusing to let go.
Cui Man Tong smiled apologetically at the others.
【Do you guys think Mr. Cui is acting a little strange? He's like a yandere.】
【How is that possible? If Cui Tong were a yandere, Man Tong would be running away from him, not hugging and comforting him. What's wrong with a couple being affectionate?】
【Exactly, as soon as you see a couple hugging for a bit too long, you call them a yandere. You're the one who's crazy!】
