The group arranged their rooms and then went to Zhou Jiaxin's room for a meeting.
"Three thousand yuan, and we need to visit this many scenic spots. I just feel like it's impossible," Cui Mantong propped her chin on her hands, looking at the task card on the table with a sense of collapse as she chattered to the camera, "Is the production team really not trying to mess with us?"
"I think so too," Zhou Jiaxin agreed. "And we have to finish 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 now. The key points are transportation, how to logically connect the attractions to save time, and how to maximize the use of money."
[I feel like Chen Huan is so clear-headed in everything she does and says. If she were in the entertainment industry, I think I'd become her fan. She's truly a beautiful and cool young lady. I just don't understand why such a girl is so 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'd definitely find a man like that – rich and able to do whatever I want.】
[Are you guys offline or just not thinking straight? Fang Miaomiao explained it very clearly in the live broadcast. Are you haters just trying to bite at anything you see? Her husband just doesn't want to show his face, and you're twisting it into something else. I'm truly speechless.】
[Why argue with people like this? I usually just go to their profile and report them. Is the administrator not working today? Come on, get some work done. These trolls are so 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 nearby ones first." Fang Miaomiao remembered something important. "Is there anyone among us who doesn't know how to ride an electric bike?"
"Sorry, I don't really know how."
"Me neither," Cui Mantong raised her hand.
Chen Huan suggested, "We can also take buses or light rail. We can discuss with the director later to not have too many people following us. For places further 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 said as she sat next to Zhou Jiaxin, her voice on the verge of tears.
"Hahaha, it's okay. We're not very good at these things, so we'll just obediently follow along," 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, you two might have to do more work for this."
"It's nothing," Fang Miaomiao waved her hand dismissively.
【Why do I feel like Fang Miaomiao is so careless and has no brains? She clearly meant that Chen Huan and she would make the decisions, without consulting anyone else. But Fang Miaomiao just agreed, as if she's the boss.】
【Don't be a hater, the person above. I'm Mantong's fan, and we all know Mantong doesn't mean it like that. Mantong just doesn't like to think. Please don't try to sow discord between Mantong and Miaomiao, thank you.】
【Exactly, neither Mantong nor our fans would think that way. 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. Also, haters, get lost. Trying to create conflict between Miaomiao and Mantong, aren't you afraid of retribution falling upon your idols?】
The live stream was in heated debate, while the hotel room was filled with harmony.
"Since that's the case, it's a happy decision. I checked the weather, and the temperature this afternoon isn't high. We can have lunch and take the children to the nearby wildlife park. Since it's summer vacation, the tickets aren't expensive."
"Sounds good."
"Okay."
After everyone answered in unison, they returned to their rooms to prepare sunscreen, water, and other things for their children.
An hour later.
Everyone was ready and appeared in the hotel lobby.
"Are you guys starting today?" Chen Tianming asked in a good mood.
"Of course. Director, I just remembered something I need to confirm with you."
"Of course, you can. Go ahead."
"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 was not guilty at all and said righteously, "It's just in case you go back on your word."
"When did I ever go back on my word?" Chen Tianming glared at Fang Miaomiao, stroking his beard. "You've ruined my reputation."
Fang Miaomiao spread her hands, looking very innocent. "Can't help it. The budget is just that small. We have to make things clear, right?"
"Get out, get out, An'an, quickly take your mother away, or I might be tempted to take back all your budget."
Fang Miaomiao gave a salute and ran off with Wen Yanan.
"Miaomiao, you didn't see the look in Director Tianming's eyes just now. He looked like he wanted to eat you."
"He's too stingy. Fortunately, I have a membership card for the August Hotel with me. Otherwise, we might have ended up sleeping on the streets."
"Sleeping on the streets wouldn't be bad. The ground as a bed, the sky as a cover. If the weather is good, maybe we can even see stars."
"I rarely see stars even in big cities." Cui Mantong remembered. "Huanhuan, what did you mean just now by saying you've slept on the streets?"
"Yeah, it felt pretty good."
Ye Nan didn't speak and reached out to hold Chen Huan's hand.
Chen Huan knew they had misunderstood and could only smile wryly as she held Ye Nan's hand. "Don't worry, that period of time was actually quite good. Not as bad as you might imagine."
"Sleeping on the streets must be cool, just like sleeping on the beach," Wu Yueyuan said excitedly. "Mom, can we go back to sleeping on the beach someday?" Kuai Shu Ge
"As long as you don't make a face at seafood," Zhou Jiaxin said with a smile. "You guys don't know, after that deserted island episode, Yuan Yuan couldn't eat seafood for a while."
"It's all the same. Don't just talk about the kids; even adults can't handle it."
"Hmph." Seeing everyone laughing, Wu Yueyuan shyly pulled her hand away and went to find Ye Nan, making the adults behind her laugh even more.
