CHAPTER 28: CHAPTER 28: ARE THEY FRAIL?

"So how do you plan to pay?" the shop owner asked habitually.

"Give me a moment."

Qin Yun finished speaking, then immediately turned around with a serious face and asked the filming director, "Director, we’ve finished recording this episode, so if I buy something now, it’s okay to use my own money, right?"

"Sure," the director agreed right away.

She beamed instantly, asking Yuanyuan to lend her some money first, promising to pay her back later.

She scanned the code to pay and her mood brightened immediately. "Boss, your business will be booming from now on," she said.

"Thank you for your kind words," the shop owner took Qin Yun’s words as a common blessing, not giving it much thought.

It wasn’t until after that day that his business started booming, far surpassing others around him, and he even opened several branches later on.

It was only after he saw the variety show filmed by Qin Yun and the others that he realized his shop became popular because it was featured on this trending show.

At the time, he didn’t think Qin Yun’s words had any effect, and had even forgotten what she said, focusing only on the celebrity who brought him business.

It wasn’t until later, when Qin Yun became known in the industry as ’Jinkou Yuyan,’ with people online eager to pay for her words, that he vaguely realized he might have been blessed by a big shot?

And at the time, he hadn’t even cared!!!

After figuring everything out, he immediately carved a one-meter high Taotie to send to Qin Yun as a thank-you gift.

Qin Yun only responded, "No need for thanks, just place a Taotie at home. Taotie will also protect those who love it."

From then on, whether at the shop or at home, he always kept a Taotie.

Someone even asked why he placed such a Taotie instead of a Pixiu in the shop.

The owner laughed and said, "Because Taotie also brings good fortune, and too many people like Pixiu, so I won’t compete with them."

Qin Yun had just finished the payment when she heard Yang Leqi calling her from outside, "Sister Yun, what are you buying?"

"I’ve ordered two wood carvings to be sent to me later. How about you, what did you buy? Why aren’t they with you?" Qin Yun asked.

"They all went to see some health wine, I’m not interested, couldn’t decide what to buy after looking around," Yang Leqi stuck out her tongue and complained.

Saying this, she began to browse around the carving shop.

Soon her eyes lit up, and she ran over to pick up a bracelet, trying it on and admiring it, exclaiming, "Sister Yun, look, this bracelet is so pretty!"

"Boss, how much is this bracelet?" Yang Leqi asked.

"It’s just ordinary wood carving, the price isn’t high, but the carving is meticulous and time-consuming. Since you and that girl are friends, I’ll give it to you for a friendship price, 18 yuan," the owner said.

"Not bad," Qin Yun walked over to take a closer look, the craftsmanship was decent.

Yang Leqi immediately scanned the money to the owner with her phone.

"Sister Yun, even here I can rely on you! Once you get famous, wherever I go, I might get the lowest prices just by saying I’m good friends with Qin Yun," Yang Leqi said cheerfully, fiddling with the bracelet and taking pictures to post online, a one-stop service.

"With my current fame, you’d be lucky if they don’t kick you out for saying you’re my good friend," Qin Yun thought of her current infamous online reputation and burst out laughing.

"They haven’t realized how great you are yet, but once the show airs, they’ll definitely be impressed," Yang Leqi paused her photo-taking and said seriously.

"I know," Qin Yun nodded in agreement, also believing that others will surely like her, even more than they like Pei Yan.

The two of them looked around again but didn’t find anything particularly appealing, so they went out to meet up with the others.

They were just about to call to ask where the others were when they saw Wang Sirui leading three people, each carrying a large glass jar filled with various medicinal substances.

Qin Yun looked at the three struggling with the jars, which might have been too heavy, making them walk in awkward postures, and she twitched the corners of her mouth, "Are you guys really that weak?"

Moreover, buying so much...

Can you finish drinking it?

Chen Yao almost stumbled, almost dropping the jar he was holding.

Weak???

He’s not weak, okay!!!

"We’re buying it for our families, they say it’s made with unique local herbs, good for strengthening the body," Chen Yao steadied himself and explained.

Wang Sirui and Qin Hao also felt embarrassed.

They immediately agreed loudly, "Yeah, we’re buying it for our families."

"Oh, okay," Qin Yun nodded.

Yang Leqi was holding back her laughter beside them.

"Pfft hahaha, sorry, I really can’t hold it in,"

Just now, when she saw them buying, she didn’t think much of it.

But when Qin Yun mentioned their weakness, Yang Leqi couldn’t help but burst into laughter, as if it hit her funny bone.

Chen Yao being 28 taking this might still make sense, but Wang Sirui was only 20 and already needed health wine.

"Eh-huh, I can’t, I can’t, my stomach hurts from laughing, Wang Sirui, how weak are you? So young and already need supplements."

The cameraman filming behind them was also blushing from holding back laughter, the camera shaking with his body.

Upon being named, Wang Sirui’s face immediately darkened, angrily shouting, "Stop laughing!"

"I said it’s for family! Not for myself!"

"Alright, alright, it’s for your family," Yang Leqi stifled her laughter, easing her aching stomach, and straightened up to wipe the tears from her eyes.

Only after a while did she say, "You guys are probably the only ones on a reality show who bought that much medicinal wine."

Now they all regretted it.

If they’d known, they wouldn’t have bought it.

But now it was too late, those who should know, and those who shouldn’t, all knew.

Damn it, those who shouldn’t know!!!

If this gets aired, the whole country will know.

And if they edit it a little, the three of them would really appear as young people who need medicinal wine for weakness.

"Director! Please edit this part out! We’ll go buy it again!" Wang Sirui quickly responded and immediately told the director.

"Yeah, yeah, don’t include this part, we’ll put this in the car and go buy again," Chen Yao also realized, they’ve been in the industry for years, but who knew they’d mess up here.

After putting it down, the three rushed to pick other items and re-recorded, finally relieved.

But what they didn’t expect was that the production team did cut it from the main episode.

Because...

The production team put this part in the outtakes!!!
