With the help of the staff, Fang Miaomiao eventually managed to get off the beach, but…
Looking at the pair of pink and tender rain boots on her feet, she felt like crying without tears: "Can't we change shoes?"
She was over fifty years old combined in her two lifetimes. How could she wear such pink and tender shoes? Didn't she care about her reputation?
"They look so good." Cui Mantong, who had been speaking solemnly moments ago, couldn't help but burst into laughter when her gaze fell on the pink and tender shoes. "Hahaha, they really do look good."
Fang Miaomiao cast a resentful glance at the laughing Cui Mantong and finally turned her attention to the staff.
Although the staff wanted to laugh, they held back with all their might. "Uh, Teacher Fang, these are the only rain boots available. Why don't you just bear with them?"
Fang Miaomiao: "..."
No, she didn't want to, but it seemed no one was willing to listen to her.
After laughing enough, Cui Mantong stepped forward and took Fang Miaomiao's hand. "Alright, alright, aren't we doing this for your own good? You'll get used to them after wearing them for a while. Besides, what's our main focus right now?"
"What is it?"
"Tsk." Cui Mantong tapped her head. "Of course, it's to identify seafood. I have a feeling Chen Tianming letting us play all afternoon isn't that simple."
Who knew Fang Miaomiao's words would come true: "I don't believe he'll make us identify seafood all afternoon and then throw us into a survival situation the next day."
"Shush, don't say it out loud." Cui Mantong made a move to cover Fang Miaomiao's mouth. "We can't say things like that. Who knows if Director Chen Tianming will actually have the wild idea to dump us on a deserted island."
"No way."
As soon as Fang Miaomiao said this, she felt a faint twitch in her right eyelid.
[I have to say, Fang Miaomiao hit the nail on the head. Director Chen Tianming has suddenly become so resourceful. I can't wait to see tomorrow's live broadcast.]
[Our trip has instantly turned into a survival situation. Is this heaven's will or human nature's downfall? To be continued, the mothers and their babies on a deserted island.]
[This is so interesting? No, are you guys making this up or what? Director Chen Tianming is this bold, sending these people to survive on a deserted island? That can't be right.]
[It's true. Their official website has already released the news. If you don't believe me, check the trending searches yourself.]
As expected.
The entertainment trending search list was topped by:
#Why do I suddenly feel like Director Chen Tianming is a bit too resourceful?#
#Travel show instantly turns into wilderness survival#
The first result when clicking was the official announcement from "We Are Going on a Trip" website.
@WeAreGoingOnATripv: The travel journey of "We Are Going on a Trip" belonging to us and our adorable babies is about to begin. Are you ready for a new travel adventure? @Zhou Jiaxin and her daughter Wu Yueyuan, @Cui Mantong and her son Cui Yongsi, @Fang Miaomiao and her son Wen Yan'an, @Chen Huan and her daughter Ye Nan, let's embark on a new journey together and head to a deserted island for an adventure.
[OMG, OMG, what did I just see? Wilderness survival? Is Director Chen Tianming serious?]
[This is so thrilling! I'm a pervert, and I can't wait to see the looks of panic on the moms' faces on the deserted island. They shouldn't have excluded my Sister Qing, they deserve it. I really hope that after they get to the island, a tsunami will wash them all out to sea.]
[Whoa, is this Wang Qing's fan? What is this person thinking? So terrifying.]
[Please don't associate us with Sister Wang Qing. Although the person above is a brainless fan of Sister Wang Qing, what they said is indeed true. This show is disgusting. They let our sister leave without any explanation or announcement. This kind of show is bound to fail sooner or later.]
[You damned show, trying to force Fang Miaomiao for the sake of capital, aren't you afraid of retribution? Damn it, I didn't want to comment and give this damned show attention, but they've gone too far. You guys just bow your heads and wag your tails, be Fang Miaomiao's dogs.]
"Director, our Weibo official announcement is full of insults."
Chen Tianming took a deep puff of his cigarette. "Are Wang Qing and Shen Jiani still not answering their phones?"
"Yes, Shen Jiani isn't answering any calls from the production team. As for Wang Qing..."
"What about Wang Qing?"
"Wang Qing did answer the phone and said she's willing to cooperate with the production team for a statement," the assistant director said hesitantly and conflictedly. "However, she made a request."
"What request?"
"She heard from somewhere that Director Chen is preparing a new film soon, so she wants..."
"The role of the second female lead?"
The second female lead wasn't impossible.
"She wants the lead role, and she's specifically requested a popular young actor from their company to play the male lead."
Chen Tianming said nothing, the tip of his cigarette emitting a faint glow in the studio.
After a long while, the cigarette burned his finger.
Chen Tianming let out a sneer, loosened his grip, and the cigarette tip fell to the ground. "Trying to threaten me with this?"
The assistant director lowered his head in silence.
"Heh." Chen Tianming stomped out the cigarette butt. "Don't worry about them. Just block the comments from the haters. Oh, and by the way, take screenshots and send them to Feng He."
"Wouldn't that offend Feng He?"
"What are you afraid of? Feng He won't fall out with us over a Wang Qing."
Besides, he had a copy of the original video that Feng He possessed.
"Okay, Director, I'll have someone do it right away."
...
With the addition of the two adults, Wen Yan'an and Cui Yongsi, their earlier bad luck turned around, and they started to make some progress.
"You guys have quite a lot of things," Zhou Jiaxin said with a smile as she looked at their buckets.
"We were just playing around. We never had free time before," Fang Miaomiao said to Zhou Jiaxin with a hint of respect in her tone.
Zhou Jiaxin chuckled softly. "I can't keep up anymore. I'm getting old."
"Senior Zhou, you say that, but you look so young, only in your forties."
Hearing Fang Miaomiao's words, Zhou Jiaxin smiled and shook her head, her tone softening. "You're such a sweet-talker, child."
"Come on, Senior Zhou, let's go collect more seafood."
"Okay, let's go."
Cui Mantong, left behind, followed the two children with a look of resentment.
"Hey!"
Her Miaomiao, how could she have so quickly embraced a senior?
"An'an."
"Sisi!"
Seeing a mantis shrimp slip away before her eyes, Cui Yongsi looked helplessly at Cui Mantong behind her. "Mom, what do you mean?"
"Doesn't my Miaomiao love me anymore?"
Cui Yongsi looked at Wen Yan'an, and Cui Mantong also shifted her gaze to Wen Yan'an.
Wen Yan'an: "..."
He felt a headache coming on.
Then...
He thought for a moment and said, "How about, if you can't beat them, join them? The four of you adults can collect and play together?"
Hearing this, Cui Mantong thought for a long moment and suddenly nodded. "An'an, what you said makes some sense."
Just then, Fang Miaomiao from not far away was also waving at her.
She immediately got up and ran over.
Wen Yan'an and Cui Yongsi exchanged a look and then shrugged helplessly.
